With outstanding performances from all cast members, a serious story line, seamless special effects, and top-notch production values across the board, this film delivers the goods for fans of heroic action adventures.  I watched in Blu-ray with Dolby stereo; and the video and sound were state-of-art excellent.
  The cast also includes: Heike Makatsch and Jaymes Butler, Jason Isaacs.

There is more comic relief in this film about Joan than others I have seen (Joan of Arc - TV miniseries 1999; Joan of Arc - Child of War, Soldier of God - 2005; classic Joan of Arc (????) starring Ingrid Bergman).

1518	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	I love the book and the 1983 adaptation with Dalton and Clarke is my favorite.  I told my husband years back (then just a bf) how much I love the book and movie and he gifted me this without knowing anything about different versions out there.  I was not even aware of this adaptation myself back then and was curious to see what this Jane Eyre had to offer.  I was horried to witness Ciaran Hinds screeching and screaming all the time like he was having a never-ending PMS.  And let me just say I love Ciaran Hinds.  He is a truly talented actor, amazing in Persuasion and Phantom of the Opera, not a one-note actor by any means.  I don't understand what could possibly happen here.  Did he so grossly misunderstood the character?  I cannot beleive it.  I am  blaming the director (and maybe editors?) for misguiding him into making such a travesty out of Mr. Rochester.
Perhaps there is a reason why Columbia never issued this as a blu ray. If their reason was because the negative would not transfer well, I certainly understand--as it clearly does not.
 A very young, cut and delicious Robert DeNiro plays Travis Bickle, a twenty-six year old man out of the service, who is riddled with lonliness and sleeplessness. His mind is constantly realing with the disgust and filth that's rampaging the streets of New York with prostitution, drugs, pornography and physical trash. So he decides to place himself in the very middle of it by taking up a job as a cab driver, working day and night since he can't sleep anyway.

It's just too bad that the film makes for a tricky search, with all the Marvel superhero films showing up.  It's worth finding!
Of the three versions of the film, I prefer the original. To explain why, let me begin simply by offering some snippets from the different edits, without explanation: In the original version, we are given a very meaningful cut going from a young child running after UFO's under the night sky, to the main character's music box playing, 'when you wish upon a star' from the Disney version of Pinocchio (instead of going to the main character's own kid bugging him about doing his homework for him, as in the later editions); in the original version we are given a meaningful cut going from the main character trying to explain what he saw to his wife, to his wife hiding newspaper clippings from her husband dealing with the same topic (instead of going to an old lost cargo ship somehow recently left in the desert of Mongolia, as in the later editions); in the original version we are given a seamless transition going from a team of scientists learning about a set of musical notes in India, to an attempt to translate them into hand signals, to an attempt to use them to contact the aliens by transmitting them by radio--to a young child successfully using the same notes on a toy xylophone.
Not bad as an action thriller, but just don't expect it to be any more substantial than a sleek new video game.

The acting is so wooden I have half a mind to use it to make furniture.  The plot doesn't make a lick of sense (something about a wicked corporation that runs the world and makes a new, deadly man-made virus, for no apparent reason), and the action sequences are utter trash, with no sense of urgency for the characters, because we don't care about them anyway.

Brian Deacon is a charismatic and believable Jesus. He speaks with authority.  He also displays different emotions -- he smiles and treats children with great affection; he is stern toward the religious leaders and hypocrites.  He also displays sadness and grief.  Brian Deacon also looks like a man in his 30's, which Jesus was when He began His earthly ministry after being a carpenter for so many years.

There are also some glaring technical faults that I'm surprised were't fixed or edited in post-production, such as an unbearably loud industrial score that blocks out most of the expository dialogue, most of it uttered by Colin Salmon, who if you're familiar with his work, already has a pretty quiet voice that'd be inaudible matched up against anyone else in the cast.

This movie was so bad that Warner Bros. wouldn't even let the critics see it prior to it's theatrical release but word of mouth soon spread about how bad it was and it sunk like a stone anyway. According to Total Film Magazine the movie was originally two and a half hours long and was hacked down to a mere 89 minutes for its theatrical release after a disastrous test screening, thus making Don MacPherson's screenplay (supposedly based on Shakespeares The Tempest) make even less sense. Voted the second worst blockbuster ever made by readers of the UK's Total Film magazine, this movie didn't help anybody's career but particularly harmed Uma Thurman whose previous outing had been the sequally awful Batman and Robin.
The quality of the video i got in 2008 is only SD. It's available in HD now and looks a lot better. BUT remember this is from the 70's and technology in film, audio and special effects were nothing like today. It should be watched with allowances for when it was made.

A big budget affair with good production values, The Eyes of Laura Mars is an interesting watch, with some mildly scary moments.  It's similarities to a giallo are intriguing, but not everything works very well.  Neville sticks out like a sore thumb, the romance is forced and uncomfortable, and the supernatural element is never explained.  The "twist" ending which might have seemed fresh in 1978, seems like something of a clich now.
Another big issue with this film, that everything is centred around Alice and it really is hard to understand why is she SOOO important? Alice! Who the (----) is Alice!? But even worse, Alice enters the movie for real only after 40 minutes and in the meantime nothing really very important happens...
While many action movie fans (such as myself) will enjoy the cult nature of this movie, others will find it too corny and tongue-and-cheek. Last Action Hero, while expertly written and executed, is a parody of itself and of all (especially '80s) action movies, but in taking this route, has used too many "in" jokes. In fact, a few of the jokes even had to be explained to me, because I didn't understand all the little nuances of the screenplay. I can easily understand why some viewers won't enjoy the film's style of humor, but I can also see how it became a cult classic.

Rita is the fading star.  It was painful for me to watch the once dazzling love goddess reduced to playing the controlling widow.  The make up department probably had to work overtime trying to cover the circles under her eyes, and her hair and costumes are just bad.  Novak is the rising star, although I don't get the 50's obsession with bubble headed, busty, bleach blond bimbos.  It would help if she could act, but sadly her range is very limited. I truly believe they added the dog to help make her character sympathetic, since she was unable to convey it herself.  Then there is Frank just coasting on his charm and cool.  Doesn't seem plausible that a hep cat like him, who could bag any "doll", "dame" or "mouse?", would fall for either of these gals.

Primarily a character study with only a bare-bones plot, "Taxi Driver" reveals Bickle, whose experiences in Vietnam have left him a shell, a soft-spoken insomniac with a never-ending monologue about the sordid things he encounters while prowling the mean streets of New York.  He drives his cab through rain-washed streets and kills time in porno theaters, cut off from the rest of humanity for reasons even he can't fully comprehend.  Eventually, he meets and attempts to woo two women who will change his life:  Jodie Foster as a teenaged prostitute, and Cybill Shepherd as a dedicated campaign worker.  Unfortunately, Bickle's inability to articulate his torment and his mental problems inevitably lead him down an increasingly shadowy path.

Horace Rumpole was what we in the United States would call a Public Defender, the lawyer you get by default if you enter the criminal legal system without means to pay for a private criminal law attorney.  Rumpole had a passion for the job of defending his criminal clients and had a great record of getting them off scott free.  The judges were all larger than life old darlings who seemed to enjoy tossing people into the nick. (prison).
Besides, for those who might still doubt and wonder whether the Director is being biased, it is possible to check through the sources. Jeanne, regardlss of whether she was "inspired" or not, clearly presented a HUGE problem for the English Kingdom of France and the Duke of Bedford in particular, simply because some, in both camps, could believe that she was inspired by God, and therefore successful. This is alo why some much effort was put in by the English, once she was captured by their Burgundian allies, into having her handig over to them. The English could not afford to have her ransomed by the French because she had become a symbol. Moreover, they needed to destroy this potent symbol, hence her trial for witchcraft and her execution in Rouen.

The New Orleans' locale is magnificently used, with detours to Cajun cookouts, strolls through Louisiana graveyards and conversations on French Quarter balconies adding memorable spice to the dramatic gumbo.

The plot was extremely far fetched an 18 year old rescues his father from some un-named "Middle Eastern" country with the help of a retired Air Force Col. and his friends Btw how the hell can one kid have the whole base wired for his own personel needs? The acting wasn't that bad Lou Gossett, Jr was ace as retired AF Col. Charles "Chappy" Sinclair  Jason Gedrick was very good as Doug "I got the whole god dam base wired" Masters (Too bad Doug got blown out of the sky in IE II) and the Minister of Defense played by David Suchet aka Poirot was great as the "bad guy" of the un-named Middle Eastern country.  I liked this the most out of ALL the movies that were made.  I got it dirt cheap so I am going to complain about the lack of any extras it was a good movie in its time and I enjoyed it for what it was even if it was fantasy. Just stay FAR AWAY as possible from the sequels esp II & IV III I don't remember too much about as I haven"t seen it in YEARS.

It spares you lengthy portrayals of the scenes where a little goes a long way (Lowood, also the Auntie's stewardship of Jane, etc.) and instead saves the film for scenes that really need to be developed carefully in order for the lengthy novel to be credible onscreen. That is, Rochester and Jane need time to grow in their relationship. Some adaptations try to rush it and you see Jane falling in love with a crazy, irate cooky guy who explores his deepest affect, out loud and rather distastefully, to what appears onscreen to be a complete stranger not ridiculously fond of him. This version was a very nice effort, but there was one part a bit rushed-her missing him after she simply tells us they had more talks together. A minor detail. Her portrayal was very good and real. Compare it to the 1996 version (Hurt/Gainsbourg) where Rochester comments to Jane about the tears ready to come into her eyes. This is after Jane is forced to watch Rochester with the new chick on the block. Then he says, "or do I see them there now?" Problem is, she doesn't look at all like she's upset or about to cry, or even depressed, although perhaps disappointed and maybe slightly wounded. Under these circumstances, Rochester's assessment makes him look self-important, sadistic and weird.

As one might deduce, this means that individuals born the "natural way"--such folk are referred to as "In-Valids"--are deemed inferior and prejudicially relegated to the lower rungs of the social ladder.  In other words, In-Valids are considered mere mortals in this high-tech, genetically engineered world, and as such, education and opportunity are socially beyond their reach.

Besides being enjoyable for children of all ages, adults can revel in this wonderful look at the early 1930s in America. John Houston, one of the top ten American directors ever, was in his 70s when he made this, yet he still had his amazing skill set to produce a wonderful story within a wonderful world. Aileen Quine as Annie is terrific in a definitive performance, but you can't overlook Carol Burnett as the often inebriated Miss Hannegan. She got a Golden Globe nomination, but deserved an Academy Award for best Supporting Actress.
3779	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I am a huge Spielberg fan, but this films has always been one I was the least familiar with, for some reason. I have rediscovered it now, thanks to DVD, and am kicking myself for not getting better acquainted with it after all these years. It isn't a stretch to say that Close Encounters may be the best Alien movie. Spielberg also wrote the film(and why hasn't he written a truckload more?), and it's a wonderful accomplishment still after 30 years. The great Richard Dreyfuss stars as Roy Neery, a middle class, suburban husband and father who has a 'close encounter' when UFO's begin to come into his town of Muncie, Indiana. And what a great scene that is!. Roy and a few others, including single mom Melinda Dillon(A Christmas Story), end up with a connection to the UFO's as the aliens inside try to make contact with earthlings. Spielberg has a great sense of feeling and wonder thru the entire film. He shows us how this could be taken in two ways. One, he gives us the whimsical, fantastical, awe-inspiring side, and with a fantastic sequence in Dillon's house with her son, also gives us how this can be frightening and scary. One look at that scene and you can see how this movie heavily influenced Shyamalan's "Signs". The movie was made 30 years ago, but it holds up strongly. It's 30 year old story and effects are more affective than a lot of the films today with millions of dollars and fancy new technology. Dreyfuss is always good, and he's great here as Neery. Teri Garr plays his wife. The home life aspect of the fillm doesn't work for some, but it's part of what made the movie to me. Seeing how this normal, average joe gets sucked up in this obsession and how it starts to affect the family life. Garr doesn't get a whole lot here, but she seems to get across that she is a woman who doesn't know what to do. The late director Francois Truffaut plays a scientist, along with Bob Balaban, tracking the UFO's and the strange occurences that have happened around the world. The score by Spielberg mainstay, John Williams, is another success in his long cannon of work. Beautiful and haunting, and who will forget those few chords?. The end is still remarkably fresh and amazing, and the mother ship itself is more cool and impressive than a lot of what we can see nowadays in movies. It's grand entrance is still amazing and a great accomplishment in filmmaking. The smaller ships that come and go are equally fun and well done. Close Encounters has a lot of great things going for it. There are a number of great/classic scenes, a wonderful score, good acting, and a sense of awe and wonder that Spielberg is so brilliant at capturing. You gotta love early, 1975-82, Spielberg. The fact that this movie remains to be so good and touching and amazing 30 years on and before all the studio money that goes out nowadays is a testament to the film and Spielberg's talents. A true classic.

This excellent film adaptation of the masterpiece novel manages to be somewhat dark, gritty, and mysterious, and still maintain quirky memorable characters and a tangled web of plots in the typical Dickens way. Justine Waddell's performance as the icy Estella (a very different role from her warm character in "Wives and Daughters") is perfect, complimented by Ioan Gruffud's dramatic display as the hero of story, Pip. The movie is fairly true to the book, and likewise manages to be ambiguous, but satisfying. Fans of Dickens work will not want to miss this instant classic, and anyone looking for a good drama with mystery and character study will not be disappointed.

5039	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	"Taxi Driver," viewed in the wake of the shooting of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, unfolds like the keys you need to understand how something so horrible as an assassination happens. It is a profile in isolation, desperation, crisis of self-worth and the corrosive effects of an unhealthy society. You can see the trials of the misfit as he attempts to fit in with others and the deepening despair and feelings of insignificance that follow the failures. You can follow the logic trail to violence as expression of last resort. The arc of the storyline is so perfectly realized that the end feels almost tacked on, a throwaway comment on the attraction of manly, heroic violence that rings false, unless I'm misreading it. Either way, this is a storied and deservedly decorated piece of filmmaking, with brilliant turns by Robert DiNiro and Jodie Foster, and a great American director at or near the height of his powers.
"Taxi Driver Stories" includes anecdotes told by actual New York cabbies who worked in the city during the `70s. Some of their stories are wilder than some that are in the film.

Bottom line: "Resident Evil: Apocalypse" is an overly-loud, pointless, cliched, virtually plotless, poorly directed carbon-copy of the first movie, and at least the first one had its moments. Now, I'm a movie-goer who's able to have realistic expectations when walking into the theater. The "Resident Evil" movies are based on a video game for teenagers, so I'm not expecting "Citizen Kane." But come on, there's nothing wrong with having at least SOME iota of intelligence in a movie of this genre. A total waste of time.
It's also (along with "Tenenbaums") the best performance I've seen from his brother Luke, who plays the protagonist Anthony. Luke's performance is subdued and also, very funny. The brothers have great chemistry together, and are able to make each other's performance more entertaining.

It's a pity that The Bob Newhart Show isn't better known by the younger generation.  It broke a lot of new ground in putting off beat comedy and characters on TV.  This collection presents the series in appropriate fashion with commentary by many of the cast and director/producers.
But by 1930, when the storyline was made into a radio show and in 1977 when it was made into a Broadway musical, suffice to say, Annie became part of America's pop culture and known for songs such as "Tomorrow", "Maybe" and "It's the Hard-Knock Life".

The year 2003 will bring us his "Good Omens". But in 1991, he gave us the mystical, magical gem "The Fisher King", a tremendous saga about the triumph of the human spirit. "The Fisher King" stars Jeff Bridges as another wounded, lost victim of the psychosis we call the modern world. He's a former talk radio star who destroys his life and many others' with a mean-spirited, thoughtless on-the-air remark. Fractured with guilt, he meets a demented homeless man(Robin Williams), and becomes enlisted in the unlikely quest for the Holy Grail. Robin Williams performance as Parry, the lost and wounded street person, is the genesis for his future demonic destitute crystalized 11 years later in "Death to Smoochy". Academy Award winning Mercedes Ruehl co-stars. This widescreen DVD(with trailer) is yet another terrific transfer from Columbia Tristar. And Sony gives it the anamorphic treatment. "The Fisher King" is a complete film; funny, compelling, innocent, and irrational. And like an old Howard Hawks epic, it's a street-level expose about the real relationship between two men. Love, Sanity, Redemption, and Ethel Merman. "The Fisher King" is a bountiful fantasy brimming with wonder and escapism....and isn't that what cinema is really all about?

From the minute I got my hands on this set I realized how nice it actually is.  Containing just two discs but hours worth of features.  The first disc contains the movies in three different editions.  The Original Theatrical Version contains the movie how it was originally seen on the big screen.  Special Edition is the same version that was released several years ago with a few additional features that was added to the Theatrical Version.  The Director's Cut contains additional parts of the movie that were Steven Spielberg intended to be in his movie.  For all of you confused don't worry the set comes with a high quality glossy timeline sheet with the extra parts that were added to each edition.  On this disc you are also given an option to run the movie with all the extras.  So essentially you have four versions of this film.

5475	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Ok first off the 2011 remake was horrible don't buy it, full of lousy acting and even worse CGI in almost every scene,infact the best part of the remake is the end credits. I wonder who the studio executives think want to see these remakes. The original Fright Night takes you back to a great time the 80's there is no internet, smart phones, CGI and the characters don't tweet in every scene. The story is great about a young all american boy next door Charlie Brewster  who loves classic horror films and wants to score with his girlfriend. The trouble begins when a vampire moves in next door. As the film shifts into gear he now has a ticked off vampire after him and his friend "Evil Ed" and his girlfriend Amy don't believe the guy next door is a vampire. The only one he can turn to is the local TV horror host Peter Vincent. The two then do battle with this vampire in a great fight sequence. This film creates an excellent atmosphere set in an all american town instead of cheesy Las Vegas and Roddy Mcdowell is brilliant as the Horror host Peter vincent. To bad they don't show horror films on local TV anymore, I mean seriously those were the days of great old horror films being shown by a horror host dressed like a ghoul or some other creature of the night. By the way"Evil Ed" steals the show and is not a whiny geek like in the remake. The film also pays homage to the classic Uniiversal horror films as well as the Hammer films you can see little signs of both hear and there in the background. So if your tired of crapy, wimpy, sissy vampire fare such as True Blood and the Twilight films buy 1985's Fright Night. I just wish there were more special features other than the trailer, c'mon not even a tribute to the late Roddy Mcdowell.

These include not only the unforgettable "Bring out your dead scene," which educates the fortunate modern viewer on the ubiquity of the medieval Bubonic Plague, but also the Grail Castle with its unimaginable and unaskable question, not to mention the over-the-top battle ethos that would lead to a knight's having not only his arms and legs cut off but also his head!

This is one of the best BDs I've yet seen, essentially equalling the quality of "The Fifth Element" and coming close to "The Searchers". It is absolutely of demo quality, with extreme sharpness and detail, and little or no visible edge enhancement. The black levels are unbelievable. Most of the time it's difficult to see any difference between the film's blacks and the letterbox banding on my Pioneer Kuro. Makes me glad I bought it!

Though I enjoyed "Resident Evil", I must admit that upon my first viewing of the movie I wasn't as enthralled by it.  This has mostly to do with the fact that there is a wide open ending to the movie, there is some resolution, but for the most part the story is left open and screaming for a sequel.  Since I saw the movie within a few weeks of its arrival on DVD, there had not been any announcement made regarding a future sequel.  Without a sequel the story is incomplete, and therefore a let down.  However a year later Columbia Pictures announced that they had begun production on "Resident Evil:  Apocalypse" and that the basic story written again by Paul W. S. Anderson, would pick up directly where "Resident Evil" left off.  Needless to say, this made me happy and so when the sequel came out on DVD I rented both movies and watched them back to back.  By doing this I was treated to a complete story that is truly too big to fit into one movie and the need for two movies to tell one story made sense, and I was no longer frustrated with the first film.  With all that being said, if you are wanting to watch "Resident Evil", please keep in mind that you need to rent the sequel at the same time or shortly after viewing the first film so that you will get the complete movie experience as it was intended to be.

The Train
De Niro is in very nearly every scene in this film, and without a stunning performance in that role, you do not get a stunning film.  Luckily, De Niro is unforgettable.  Although his famous scene in front of the mirror (the "You talking to me" scene, which was entirely improvised) is rightfully celebrated, in every second of the film his presence dominates.  I seem to remember reading years ago in an interview with screenwriter Paul Schrader that Travis Bickle was based very much on the narrator from Dostoevsky's NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND.  If he didn't say that, I will.  It isn't just that Travis seems socially out of place, but morally and metaphysically out of place.  He doesn't seem to be a person with a genuine core, and at the end of the film, he seems equally capable of good or evil.  He ends up doing good, but Scorsese has pointed to the arbitrariness of his actions.  He could easily have assassinated the political candidate instead of the pimp.  He ends the movie a hero, but an more an ironic hero than an anti-hero.  In a flip of a metaphysical coin, he accidentally ends up a good guy instead of a madman.


The actor who plays Jon Krakauer's character has the thankless role of Greek chorus. He is there to basically tie up loose ends in the movie. He portrays Krakauer as a dour, humorless human being who, were it not for the fact that he is a talented writer, would have been pushed off the Lhotse face of Everest by some enterprising soul. Last, but certainly not least, are the Sherpas, who are shown as wise, brave, put upon souls. Now here, the movie is hitting its mark.

I still love Spielberg's epic UFO creation, a sort of quasi-religious experience for a kid raised on "War of the Worlds" and "Invaders From Mars."

Whenever there's someone like Ray, there's almost always someone like Mark. Mark is sort of a sidekick or cheerleader for Ray and his violently domestic antics.

It's mentioned at one point that Mark himself was worked over by Ray's father---maybe this explains the tie that bond these two.

The setting is in Montana of the early 20th century, about two young brothers growing up in the home of a Presbyterian minister superbly played by Tom Skerrit. The father is an erudite man who not only homeschools his boys in the scriptures, but classic literature and poetry. A far better education than received in schools.

Easy Rider is a lengthy music video for the '60s culture. But it is also an honest perspective on the counterculture movement. Fonda and Hopper's portrayal of that experience is free of the romanticized tone that characterizes so many other films from this era. Fonda's dialogue the night before his death is a purveyor of things to come. Hopper is happy because they've made it to their destination with their drug money. "We blew it," Fonda tells him. "We blew it, man." Heavy.
The story is told by a mailman, effectively voiced by Fred Astaire, who takes time out from all of his holiday deliveries to set the tone for this charming holiday tale and narrate the evetns. I think of this as being a contemporary of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," but that actually came out six years earlier (the common denominator is that they were both clay-mation productions from Bass & Rankin). The Island of Misfit Toys makes the other one the more beloved Holiday classic, but this one is a close second, and Jessica is the cutest future Mrs. Claus of all-time.

This definitive, rigorously scriptural movie version of the life of Jesus Christ has been seen by over five billion people around the globe, reaching 236 different nations in over 800 languages.  It has helped win innumerable souls to Christ all over the world, and even now, under the aegis of Campus Crusade For Christ, local churches and individuals are coming together in an effort to send a free copy of the movie to every home in the United States.  The movie was a dream over three decades in the making, with five years of pre-production work preceding the seven-month filming that took place in 1978 at a multitude of sites in Israel.  Intense efforts, involving the collaboration of numerous scholars from the whole gamut of Christian churches, went into making Jesus as accurate as it could possibly be - from vintage pottery to historically accurate costuming to sufficient cinders residing behind burning torches, every effort was made to take the audience back to Jesus' time.  It is a non-denominational Christian film; while some churches might quibble about an omission here or a suggestion there, this movie is the story of Jesus and not the story of any particular kind of Christian religion.

The progeny of the folks who won World War II, these young boomer-drifters were aimless and lazy; the film opens with two of these bums equipping themselves with money via an illegal heroin deal (trashing, no doubt, the lives of the drug users and their families, not to mention the folks they had to rip off in order to fund their addictions).  We then watch this pair, one a sedated pot-head and the other a lunatic pot-head, drift toward New Orleans for a big drunk party, picking up along the way another equally purposeless bum (the great Jack, in a stunning role!).  The plot plays out in an appropriate fashion for people who live their lives in this repulsive manner.

411	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This epic, motion picture - JOSEPH, starring Actor: Paul Mercurio in the title role, is an engaging, true life, biblical drama straight from the Old Testament/Book of Genesis within the Holy Bible (See Genesis 30:22-24; 37:1-36 & 39:1-50:26). Written for television by: Lionel Chetwynd, this 1995 film which also features... not one, but two Academy Award winning Actors: Sir Ben Kingsley as 'Potiphar' and Martin Landau as 'Jacob', also won the prestigious Emmy Award for: "Outstanding Miniseries." And, although it focuses on the life of JOSEPH, it also chronicles the latter life of his father Jacob, together with his wives, his concubines, his only sister - Dinah, and the lives of his brothers, as well. From the popular "Bible Collection" Films of which (at this date), there are 13 available, Turner Pictures presents a Lube Production in association with Lux Beta Films and Rai Uno in presenting this disturbing yet deeply moving and climactic film: JOSEPH, in it's entirety. All, 187-minutes of it. This compelling, motion picture/miniseries, vividly depicts the willful, calculated and brutal betrayal of 17-year old JOSEPH, the 11th son of 12 brothers. Who, was maliciously sold into slavery, to appease their jealousy of him. What are older brothers for, eh?! So why..., were they so cruel and viciously envious of JOSEPH? Because he was their father's obvious favorite (Genesis 37:3-4). Sibling rivalry? Oh yeah! And, then some!! In viewing this captivating drama, one cannot help but wonder..., how it helped JOSEPH's brother's to be so jealous of him? And what did they hope to accomplish with their continued envy, scorn and contempt towards their innocent, younger brother? It certainly wasn't going to change their father's love for him. Neither, would it change the fact, that JOSEPH was the long awaited, first-born son of Jacob's favorite wife, Rachel. Nor would it diminish their feelings of paternal rejection, deep seated inadequacies and personal insecurities from which, acute jealousy, stems. But, aside from his younger brother Benjamin, his only sibling by the same mother (Rachel), the 10 older brothers and their level of jealousy towards him escalated too such a fever pitch, that initially they literally plotted to murder JOSEPH. But, due to the sanity and shrewdness of the one brother, they opted to throw him into a cold, dry, well, complete with snakes. The following morning, they literally sold him..., to Ishmaelite Slave Traders for 20 pieces of silver. Talk about betrayal, treachery, deviousness, jealousy and abject hatred! Again, was there any brotherly love, here? No way! And, they all made a profit from literally..., selling out his person. So how, did their acute jealousy help anything? It didn't. From the on-set, jealousy of another breeds resentment and hostility. Unbridled, it only suffices to kill and destroy. In this particular case, blatant deceit combined with needless treachery together with their murderous envy, sheer hatred and concealment of their vile crime, manifested itself in a heinous betrayal against their own brother. And, as if that weren't enough, they further added insult to injury by deliberately lying too their father, Jacob. How? By corporately telling him the tale, that JOSEPH was dead and gone. Because he supposedly, was killed by a wild animal. And, they 'offered' his blood stained coat which Jacob had made for him, as "proof." Meanwhile, JOSEPH... who was very much alive, was re-sold in Egypt by the Ishmaelite Slave Traders, to Potiphar - the Captain of the Pharaoh's Guard. So, as far as the envious brother's were concerned, JOSEPH was seemingly out of the picture and doomed to the wretched existence of a slave. And for years, such was the case. And Jacob, having lost his favorite son, along with his pride and joy upon whom all of his hopes of leading the family clan were founded, continued to grieve for his thought to be dead, son. Because when you truly love someone, their absence only makes the heart grow fonder. The years wore on..., and JOSEPH grew to become very handsome. He was a man of excellence and integrity, who knew how to read and write (most slaves didn't), and one who carried himself in a humble manner. As was pleasing to his master, Potiphar. However, for as much as Potiphar trusted JOSEPH... to the point that he elevated him to be his personal assistant and household accountant, so too, did Potiphar's' promiscuous wife (as portrayed by Actress: Lesley Ann Warren) decide, that she would take advantage of the situation and use JOSEPH's strong, attractive, physique for her own sexual pleasure. But, there was only one problem. JOSEPH refused to sleep with her. And she, incensed at having her advances rejected by a mere slave, spitefully and vindictively accused him of a most heinous crime. Rape. (Yup! All of this..., sex and all, is really within the Holy Bible. And, at the beginning of this review, you were provided with: Chapter, scripture and verse(s), so you can read it for yourself). So, what happened to JOSEPH? Well, having heard that his wife was supposedly raped, Potiphar stripped JOSEPH of his position and status, and further placed him into Pharaoh's prison. Where common thieves, cut throat's and all sorts of criminals are kept. Hardly the place, for an innocent and educated man, like JOSEPH. A man of breeding and integrity. However, just as Potiphar was impressed with the way JOSEPH carried himself and handled his assigned duties, so too, was the prison warden into whose prison care, JOSEPH was placed. To the point, that he elevated JOSEPH to the position of prison overseer, who was in charge of all the other prisoners. Years went by, and then came the fateful day when two of Pharaoh's employee's - a wine bearer and a baker, were placed into prison under JOSEPH's care. Utilizing his gift that the Lord had given to him (that of interpreting dreams), JOSEPH correctly foretold the dreams of both, the baker and the wine bearer. Specifically, that the wine bearer would be reinstated into Pharaoh's employ and that the baker would die in prison. It came to pass just as JOSEPH had stated, and having been restored, the wine bearer remembered and told Pharaoh about JOSEPH, when Pharaoh's' court see's could not interpret Pharaoh's dreams. JOSEPH was summoned to Pharaoh's Court and after hearing and accurately predicting the dreams of the Pharaoh, he was rewarded and promoted to the position of Governor of all, Egypt. Second only, to Pharaoh himself. Believe it! And what, became of JOSEPH's brother's? Well, suffice it to say, that the rest of this powerful drama is a story of forgiveness, healing, reconciliation and restoration. And yes, JOSEPH's brother's got a lesson that they wouldn't soon forget! This is a deeply moving, epic, biblical drama that comes to it's audience in color, on a single-disc, DVD in spoken English in 4.0 Dolby Digital Surround Sound and also, in 2.0 Dolby Digital Spanish. With subtitles in English, Spanish and French. And shows in full screen format for approximately 187-minutes. To say the least, it is a very interesting motion picture that does much more, than just entertain. It deals with human drama in relation too the God, that created..., mankind (See Genesis 1:2-28 & 2:21-25). Nina Kish

I'm a huge fan of Mortal Kombat and AVP. It was hard for me to picture the movie done by anyone else. Nonetheless, I gave it a good chance. My synopsis is, this director is just not as good. During the fighting scenes, the cameras were shaking like someone was making a home movie. Very annoying.

I found the "Making of" featurette on this DVD edition to be very informative and really well done.  In fact, it is one of the better featurettes I have seen.  Hopper and Fonda (among others) take us behind the scenes into the magical making of this film and how it all just seemed to flow naturally, largely unscripted.  A word to the wise: you might want to check out the 35th anniversary edition.  While I have heard that the quality of the DVD is not improved, there is a soundtrack CD and a nice booklet for any true fan of the film.  Otherwise, you'll do just fine with this cheaper version.

95	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I can recall watching Henry Winkler on a talk show when this movie came out on television.  He asked the viewers to let him know what we thought of him in this role as it was different from the ones most had come to know him (eg.  "The Fonz").  When I watched it over 30 years ago, I enjoyed it.  It wasn't until recently I sought it out and watched it again.  It is an excellent retelling of the Dicken's classic with an Americanized twist.  The lessons are timeless and Henry Winkler's Mr Slade is really well done and believable.

I was hoping Nemesis would have a bigger part, but he was still good.



Unquestionably dated to a large extent, particularly in the strange editing of certain sequences and the acid trip, which looks less avant garde and more amateurish, EASY RIDER nevertheless has its merits.  The soundtrack is one of those merits, with 1960s classics like Steppenwolf's "Born To Be Wild" and the Band's "The Weight", and countryish tracks like "Wasn't Born To Follow" (the Byrds) and "Don't Bogart Me" (Fraternity of Man).  The other is, of course, Nicholson's star-making performance as George Hanson.  Before this, Nicholson was just a B-grade actor.  But his often-uproarious and, later, thoughtful performance here cemented his reputation as a top-notch movie star forever.

Many others see these craft including Gillian Guiler (Melinda Dillon from A Christmas Story) whose son is later abducted by the aliens.  At the same time, a group of researchers who apparently work for the government travels around the world gathering information on various alien sightings and encounters.  All of this comes together when everyone converges on one spot to find... well, that's the question that plagues all of them.
Annie is about a little girl who was left at an orphanage when she was a baby.  The living conditions in this place are absolutely horrible, and the woman who's supposed to be looking after these kids doesn't seem to care about them in the least.  All she cares about is money, booze and men!

If you are looking for an Action Jackson, kill'em all, special effects, light-speed space travel thriller then... You will be disappointed.  However, if you enjoy thought-provoking stories, solid, convincing acting, and a movie that seriously makes you THINK and entertain you at the same time, Taxi Driver is the spot!

This movie starts off with a brief recap of what happened in the first film, other than that it picks up right where it left off. The plot is as follows. Racoon City has become a garden of rapidly growing numbers of undead. The Umbrella Corporation has taken it upon itself to quarantine the city, this means building a massive wall that circles the entire city. No one gets in, no one gets out. We are then thrust into heart pounding action sequences and all the things you loved about the first film. The small group we, the viewers, follow consists of Alice, Jill, Carlos, and Dr. Ashford's daughter. They must get to a designated building to then climb effortlessly onto a helicopter and fly off into the sunset. Things don't go as planned, however, and chaos ensues.
It's not a bad plot but the movie is really about the alienation of one man from the city around him. In this, De Niro is totally convincing he is in the city but not of the city. He has a hard job too. A social misfit cannot be given a sharp snappy script. Instead, such a person will at times be an embarrassment to those around him and De Niro portrays this perfectly.
Despite the shortcomings, it is wonderful to have this classic 1980's film on DVD.

In fact, many many people love the film with critics hailing the film and a loyal fanbase making it a cult classic in line with Donnie Darko or the Crow. Yet others don't know of it and it didn't get the attention it deserved so it's kind of in that grey area: it's got a following but it didn't have the box office to go along with it which is too bad cause it's quite intelligent and thought-provoking.

Biohazard: Damnation (2012) / Resident Evil: Damnation.
So, why the four stars instead of five? I hate to say this... Special effects. The special effects in this film occasionally take away from the much needed tension (especially the fight towards the end of the film...) It's odd that they chose to CG the monsters in that manner, because it really looked quite dated. Aside from this, fans of the "Resident Evil" game franchise will definitely like "Apocalypse" best (for all of it's one liners and slo-mo action scenes, it captured the spirit of Racoon City in a way neither of the other films did.)

Occasionally one of the haves has an accident.  Then it is possible to assume that person's identity armed with genetic traces, blood and urine samples and some creative surgery.

THE CHILDREN ARE WONDERFUL ; VERY WELL CAST !
8391	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I loved this movie--absolutely loved it. I can't understand how anybody couldn't like it. The acting is unbelievably outstanding--it really is. Indeed, Aileen Quinn was made for this role, and in my eyes, no other child in any other version of this classic can compare to Quinn's most amazing portrayal. Carol Burnett is also uncomparable. Overall, it's just such an enjoyable movie that I have watched and loved ever since I was little. It's a great childhood memory for me. One of the best movies I have ever seen, and certainly not the least bit dull or boring. The music is extremely catchy and strong; the actors have a strong passion for their characters, and you can tell throughout the movie. I hope you will take the time to see this version if you have not already. It's the BEST! =)

3725	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	A very nice package for a classic film, It's nice to see that Spielberg took the time to do a nice remaster and include all the versions of the film. It's great to see how it developed over the years into what Spielberg really wanted. The picture is very crisp with some of the gloss being removed from the original. I for one really enjoy these packages where the put a number of versions of an important film together and give reasons for all the different changes. Over the course of watching these I end up changing my own choice of favorite version. Anyway a great job done on a great film, you won't be disappointed.
What is the morale of the story?  There are hundreds if not thousands of morales.  Perhaps the most telling of situations is when Joan, in her final days behind bars, is confronted by Dustin Hoffman, her own doubts.  He asks her what her sins have been and how she got into this place.  Her sins were pride and vanity.  Maybe she didn't really hear the voice of God.  Maybe she was just a nutcase who happened to be in the right place at the right time.  Maybe she was the fall guy for a botched military movement, a weak king, or a patriarchal society.  Whatever the reason, Joan was a hero.


Well done. I can't wait to watch it again. Definately one you will consider purchasing. Keep it in your video library anytime you need a good story and more than a few explosions and a car chase.

6017	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This film (and more generally the series of films) does seem to attract its fair share of opprobrium and, looking at the spread of ratings it's got here on Amazon, it's not even just a "love it or loathe it" film - it's pretty much fairly covered by every point on the spectrum. One fairly common theme of the "hate it" reviews appears to be that it offends devotees of the computer game from which the film series originated. Only having played RE on the PS1 once, I personally have no concept of whether the transfer to celluloid has been appalingly botched but, in any case, I think that it's a little unfair: there can't be many films that were able to faithfully reproduce the game/book/comic/etc from which it was derived. Similarly, another common theme is that it's some sort of failed pretender to the Romero throne. Again, I haven't seen any of his films (I did see the Dawn remake) so I am unlikely to be offended on that score either.

1584	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	fun seeing this again
The production value of this film is first-rate.  Obviously period re-enactors were used and their dedication to the hobby shows in the correct formations, drills, etc.  The brief skirmish at the beginning with the British probably did not happen so close to the Delaware like that.  Also, the uniforms for the British appear off somehow.  They look like an earlier period, not the 1770s.  Still, it works.  The Hessians are well portrayed, although it would have provided variety if some Musketeer's with their tri-corn hats were shown.  Not all of Rall's men were Grenadiers and Fusiliers!
SERIES 5: 1919-30, the largest span of time. War's end. The 1920's roar, and that impacts the family upstairs as well as the lively help downstairs.

Vincent's parents decide that their next child will be almost genetically perfect.  Vincent was conceived the old-fashioned way (so he's known as a "God-child") but this new child will be genetically engineered where procreation is done in a Petri dish.  The parents have decided beforehand that Vincent will have a brother named Anton (Loren Dean), and that Anton is to have "hazel eyes, dark hair, and fair skin."  The geneticist (Blair Underwood) who will do the genetic engineering will take care to remove "any prejudicial conditions" like "premature balding, myopia [near-sightedness], alcoholism, addictive susceptibility, propensity for violence, obesity, etc."

Science Fiction done with  respect and love for the genre.  Unfortunately, there are so many versions  of this film floating around that you'd better just wait and see what they  do with the DVD.  I for one hated the "Special Edition" and am  just as unimpressed with the Director's Cut.  There are still scenes  missing that need to be restored (including the '77 ending), and only DVD  can do the special effects and soundtrack justice.

Of course not all boats rose at that time, especially among blacks and white Appalachian hillbillies like my family who never even got close to the boat, but we will let that ride for now. If one really wanted to look at something like latter day Eden in the American experience then perhaps one needed to go West, go out to Big Sky country where they took their religion, their work ethic and their, uh, fly-fishing seriously in the early part of the twentieth century if the plot-line of this film under review Robert Redfords adaptation (and narration) of Norman Macleans memoir A River Runs Through It.
As he waits for help to arrive, Nelson comes across an unusual-looking bottle lying on the sand.  After unsuccessfully placing it aside (twice, the bottle intentionally rolls at his feet), Nelson takes it up.  He unwittingly rubs it, only to release - to his surprise, a beautiful 2,000 year-old female genie (whom he calls 'Jeannie').  Kneeling and speaking in Persian, Jeannie promises to serve her 'Master' for the rest of his life, and to grant him any wish.  Jeannie seals this promise when she rises, goes over, and tenderly kisses Captain Nelson. Jeannie later helps Tony get rescued; but Tony cannot bring her with him since nobody believes in genies as they don't exist.

Unlike the director of the "Dawn of the Dead" remake, Witt and producer/ script writer Paul W.S. Anderson have opted not to follow in the footsteps of the fast- moving "28 Days Later" zombies, but has clearly been inspired not only by George Romero's view of walking corpses, but also by his opinion of our western society. The real evil in this movie is not the zombies or even the killer mutant Nemesis (who looks and sounds like he has just stepped out of the original game and into this movie), but a Big Brother- style multinational that puts itself above the law and has no respect whatsoever for morale, decency or anything human.

The movie's slow pace and subtle cinematography are a nice change from most movies released nowadays. At over 2 hours, the movie crawls for most of the time presenting dialogue and images. Initially, that sounds like a recipe for disaster (or 2001 Space Odyssey) but it works really well in this context. Slowing the pace down allows viewers to feel like you're traveling with the characters and for the tension to build. It also makes the climax all the more rewarding.

I won't rehash the plot...that probably isn't possible.  But suffice it to say that I don't think anyone should skip this movie.  Yes, you might hate it.  If so, I'm sorry.  But there's a good chance you'll be sucked in and then you too can quote "It's only a flesh wound" or "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberry" or "There are those who call me...Tim."  And you can enjoy, again and again, the vicious attacks of the white rabbit.  (If you have the DVD, I challenge you to watch the rabbit attack on super-slow motion...it's a historian's study on great film editing and it's also gut-bustingly funny!)

7618	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	One of my absolute favorites, this gem of a film is a comedy, a drama, a romance and a fantasy film all rolled into one.  Combined with the twisted & irreverent filmmaking style of Terry Gilliam ("12 Monkeys"  and "Time Bandits") this film is not for everyone, but for those  who like something different and maybe even a little magical, you can't go  wrong with this one. Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges are two men from two  different worlds, but both lost and in pain.  Mercedes Ruehl and Amanda  Plummer are the women in their lives.  When circumstanes bring them  together, they are able to save one another.  A sadly overlooked film  filled with wonderment and, in the end, joy.

7825	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	The narrative of Robert Redford is captivating, uplifting, and graceful.  'On the banks of the Big Blackfoot River....' a place I've been, and long to return.  Nothing, el zippo, tops the splendor and majesty of Montana, nothing even comes close!  It's timeless valleys, raging aqua-tinted torrents, and green alpine towns and villages dispersed all throughout its western landscapes define 'National Treasure.'  Missoula, Montana, home to the Maclean family, is a good old fashioned town of turmoil and unsetteldness squaring off against an unmistakable serenity with nature's works and ways.  'To the beat of a four count rhythm....' might not be the most instructive of flyfishing casting approaches (I've lost many a woolybugger in willow trees climbable only by the most inane of flytiers), but it makes for undulating cinema.  'Oh I could never leave Montana brother...' is a line beckoning truth; after visiting Montana on several occasions (first was an Amtrack train ride in '94... ok a person could easily get up and go from Havre, MT) getting to catch sights of Glacier to the north, the Bitterroot range in the south, and all that lies in between (e.g. Flathead Lake)....there are no fleeting instincts.  A geologist could be lost in paradise in, say, Yellowstone for ages, not even taking into consideration the abundance of mountain ranges lining Montana's western front - stretching north to south, from Great Falls to Anaconda.  Redford's directing brings along the viewer through every imaginable trace of landmark - riverbanks, pubs, train stations, backyard fields with forest and mountain top afar, and even a couple sunburned rawhides!  Not a favorite still shot.  Boats are stolen, category 'forget about it' white waters are paddled through, unpaid gambling wagers bring conflict wrought with misunderstanding, dinner table discussions of Calvin Coolidge's fishing secret '...what are they bitin on?....The end of my line!' and job satisfaction are brought up, shortcuts winding their way through train tunnels are taken, and in the end, reflection and memories are revealed in honest fashion.  Verdant pastures and picueresque backdrops steal the film's premise, offering more than just basic storyline.  But the moment of closure is why I adore Robert Redford's film set in Missoula....in addition to the melancholic violin intermezzos.

Nor was I disappointed.  Taxi Driver is a special movie.  It's a character study on one hand, a philisophical treatise on the other.  It simultaneously entertains with it's sultry shots of 1975 NYC, lots of good dialogue between the characters, and a story line that unfolds naturally - people who appreciate photography will especially like Taxi Driver - it's a joy to watch Scorcese tell this tale.

6421	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	I have to admit I loved the first film.  It was one of the few films that I thought best represented the video game that it accompanied.  Milla was perfectly cast as the lead and the non-linear structure of the film allowed us to see the who, what, where, when, and why of the events.  There was just the right amount of terror, the right amount of action, and a whole bunch of originality.  I wish, I really wish that I could say the same about it sequel.  As the credits rolled and we were brought back up to speed from the last events that occurred in the original only to discover that a new director had decided to helm this project and was obviously handed more money and forced to follow the footsteps of Hollywood.  Everything from the original was lost and discarded as a mainstream horror film with maybe zombies (couldn't tell due to the blurry nature of which they ran) moved in to take its place.  More money was on the table with, in this case, meant more explosions and less story.  A disgrace to the name of both the video game and the original film came in several ways with this inferior sequel, mainly horrible acting, cliched characters, a recycled plot, and especially with a amateurish, craft sale created monster known as the Nemesis.

1737	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	The Crossing covers a small but crucial part of the American Revolution. Based largely on Washington's personal correspondence, it is probably fairly accurate, but without embedded journalists, who knows for sure.  Daniels plays Washington with dignity, and passion.  The supporting cast of little known actors do quite well also.  The battle is well staged despite Hollywood's abhorrence of muzzle loading muskets and their capability of fully automatic fire.  This film can stand with Gettysburg as the best look at part of one  of America's wars.
THOUGHTS: Lifting off in early summer of 1983, BLUE THUNDER is a slick allegory about Big Brother-type evils, a too powerful government and advanced technology getting ahead of our ability to use it properly and ethically. Rough-edged everyman actor Roy Schieder is perfectly cast here as Vietnam vet Frank Murphy, an idealistic but world-weary (and slightly damaged) man still suffering bouts of post traumatic stress disorder due to some deeply disturbing events he experienced while serving in 'Nam. Despite his desire to live a normal life the horrors of war are never far from his mind, often haunting the tortured ex-soldier in his dreams. Frank has few he can call friends. Among them are the Chief of the Astro Division (the late, great Warren Oates, in his last screen role), a mean as a snake, tough as saddle leather type who takes no crap but has a genuine soft spot for Murphy. Cute-as-a-button Candy Clark is Frank's ditzy, off-again/on-again girlfriend. New to the fold as Murphy's eyes & ears while aboard Blue Thunder, Daniel Stern's turn as Lymangood is a joy as he brings a genuine, earnest, goggle-eyed and eager to please energy to the role. You like him almost immediately. Lymangood, ("JAFO" to the boys in Astro), also brings a valuable skill set to the table, making him an integral part of the narrative and not just a shell or red herring. Rounding out the cast as Frank's nemesis (and old war "buddy"), is Malcolm McDowell as callus retired Army colonel F.E. Cochrane. McDowell crafts a smug, slimy, unhinged, slick & irritating character in Cochrane. Seriously, you just want to kick this guy in the nuts every time he's on screen.

This classic was filmed almost entirely in Nelson, BC, and was supposed to be Nelson, WA, an hour or so south of its Canadian equivalent. It's hard to pick out some of the locations as the camera angles virtually all compensate for the fact that Nelson (an Aspen-like town in the BC interior) is very hilly. Where the mighty John Kapelos (Chuck) tries his Playmate of the Month routine on the foxy Caroline Barclay, it looks like a level street, but Ward St. is actually on a hill, like most of Nelson.

This movie, like all great films, has left behind a huge legacy, though not in the way some might think. Often times it's a legacy that filmmakers try to avoid. For example, in the the commentary on The Lord of the Rings films you will frequently hear Peter Jackson somewhat humoursly lament how hard they tried to avoid giving their movies a Holy Grail feeling. Of course the movie also lead to the hit Broadway musical, Spamalot, which I've never seen, but heard great things about.

But also, the actual escape of Billy Hayes differs greatly from the film adaption.  But considering that there was another planned final for the film that would have been a bit unbelievable, I was content with how the film ended.

It has been well over 20 years since I first saw "ROXANNE" on cable and for the most part, watching the film again, I can say that it does hold up quite well nearly 23 years later.

 But more subtly than that it also involves a fantasy element which is not often discussed, and sometimes misunderstood. Danny Peary, for examples indicates that the movie is actually the result of a group of filmmakers that do not have a budget for horses, forgot to get permission to film from the local authorities and in their zeal to tell the story manage to kill a historian narrator.

The movie is visually stunning, the costumes and locations are utterly fantastic and accurate. MiLLa Jovovich plays the passionate young peasent girl who claims to be sent by god to fight the English in order to crown the dauphin as Charles VII at Reims cathedral.

6634	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	I agree with most reviews of "The Messenger: the Story of Joan of Arc." While Mila Jovich, or however you spell her last name, is an AWESOME actress, (she was in "Return to the Blue Lagoon" and all three "Resident Evil" movies) I'm sure that this portrayal of Joan is very inaccurate. In this movie she is portrayed as a screaming, annoying and lunatic b****!! What the hell was the director thinking? He or she clearly did NOT do thier homework. I have seen the 1999 miniseries of "Joan of Arc" starring the beuatiful young Hollywood actress Leele Sobieski, (Deep Impact, The Glass House.) Sobieski portrays Joan as an innocent but brave nineteen-year-old who fought for the freedom of France, and who sought to have the French King crowned. Although some argue that the miniseries is not entierly accurate, (but than again what movie now-a-days is?) still the "Joan of Arc" film depicts the herione the way the world remembers her. The miniseries is truely powerful, gripping and dramatic. It's sad that the big budget version of Joan in "The Messenger" is so twisted beyond any historical accuracy. In this film you don't even get the impression that Joan really was holy to the point of hearing the voices of saints calling out to her; rather Joan is simply crazy and dillusional beyond anyone's comprehension. It seems as if the director and producers intentionally portrayed Joan as a mad woman with a disperate need for making herself known to the world. But yet, as the director of the miniseries "Joan of Arc" stated during his research, even in books and in that movie Joan was portrayed as a sweet, loving and giving character who's strong faith in God led her to her ultimate demise; for SHE choose to go into the flame, rather than she was forced to burn at the stake. And I believe that "Joan of Arc" is as accurate as any film could possibly get about the "the flower of France."

However, I wanted the DVD version, and decided to purchase this 40th anniversary set through Amazon.  Let me say that it is simply superb in every way.
the hot tub scene was edited out due to its sexy content.  It is a very crucial part of the movie, however.
Rounding out the great cast are Ann Reinking, Tim Curry, Bernadette Petters and Geoffery Holder

Best part: While it's got religious overtones, it's NOT a religious movie which is what chased me away when it came out. Though, if you want it to be, I'm sure the religious can find something to worship in it, Williams and Bridges are pretty godlike in this one. ;)

7736	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This movie really surprised me... it showcases what can happen when a person faces a great tragedy and how it affects the pysche. Its also a great story about love and friendship. Of course Robin Williams is brilliant in this role playing a man that is mentally disturbed by his wife's murder and eventually ends up in a catatonic state.
1120	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Very well done. I had heard people talking allot about this during it'd time but did not get to watch it till now. The characters were wonderful. I became so involved that there were times I cried. A really top drawer series.

That said, the end when the Earthmen and aliens finally make contact is breathtaking.  Coupled with the special effects and John Williams's magnificent score, CETK is a science fiction classic that still manages to captivate.

If you're looking for a nice dvd for preschoolers, this one is great!  Short dialogue scenes are interspersed with some great kids' songs.  My 3 year old now can't decide between Dudu or Uncle Moishy!  The dialogue is slower paced than the Rehov Sumsum dvds, so a bit easier to follow for non-ivrit speaking parents.
Gere is the aggressive Chicago cop who goes undercover and discovers somebody wants to hire him for a 'hit' on a no doubt about it ruthless New Orleans 'business' man with the gorgeous blonde, Cajun girl who was basically 'sold' to the 'Narlins scum by her own mother when she was 13.

6275	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	I watched this almost immediately after finishing the book.  Even in this age of epic cable adaptation like Game of Thrones, I understand some plot pieces must be sacrificed for film.  However, in this case it was the equivalent of taking "The Lord of the Rings" and turning it into a romance between Aragorn and Arwen with the rest of the novel just being occasionally referred to.
The special effects are awesome, and I think this film could very well be a cult classic, just as long as it isn't compared with the orignal series.  The film obviously won't be for everyone, whether or not you're a fan of the show really doesn't factor into whether you'll like it or not.
2713	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I still like it and i have seen it several times!
Throughout her life, Joan of Arc was haunted by "visions from God" that lead her to believe that she had the religious power to force Englands Army to surrender territory in France rather than face the rath of God.  Mila Jovovich does a spectacular job at playing an unbelievable role of a young lady leading a powerful army.
8491	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This movie is set during the days following the Great Depression, when ANYTHING was fair play. Charlie plays a brutal back-door brawler that works with James Coburn (the mouth) and battles for a percentage of cash wins over his opponents. A "must see" movie for Charles Bronson lovers!
The Grail is definitely the funniest thing the Pythons as a group ever did and that's saying something. I guess it probably is the funniest movie ever made!
2370	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	I bought this DVD in Oct./'05 for someone who ia a fan (!?!).Her B/day was just last week.

A story within a story within a story, exquisitly done, with a grace, and  a ,sensativity rarely encounterd on film.

So, at he end of this long review, and despite its limitations - I should have also mentioned the piece where Joan wrestles with her conscious played by Dustin Hoffman as being possibly the worst of the whole film - I believe this very entertaining and spectacular film, which is also more conventional that it may look and feel, is just about worth (a slightly generous) four stars.
One thing I found to be funny was Stefan Hayes' (or Yuri Loginova's) extremely dodgy Russian accent! At times he got the accent nailed, but there were instances where he sounded like an American or an angry European! Look, it didn't bother me much and he doesn't speak that much in the movie. All I can say is that I've met Russian people, and if you think THAT's Russian, well...it's not I'm afraid. It's not hard to miss his poor accent, it's extremely noticeable.
The acting here is equally note-perfect: Milla is at the top of her game and shows off her acting chops as well as her more corporeal talents; in the hands of a lesser actress the role would have been generic action-flick fodder. Michelle Rodriguez (Ocampo) keeps snarling and cracking wise 'til the bitter end; Eric Mabius is charmingly and appropriately plastic (where is his character coming from, anyway?) and also carries off his role like a champ. Colin Salmon (James "One" Shade) once again bravely carries Shakespearean delivery into Anderson's laser jaws of death, while James Purefoy does what he has to do as the poor man's Chris Lambert. He's a good villain, and because of that you end up rooting for the zombies and even the digusting "Licker".

5481	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I realize this movie is going on 30 years old.  It might seem "old" to many viewers.  But the fact that it is colorfully set in suburban America of the mid-80's, and not in some B&W Hollywood version of Transylvania, (complete with creepy castles and torch bearing villagers) - make it, to me at least, a more or less modern day setting.  Certainly contemporary for its time, and with very few exceptions, it has maintained a fresh and modern look about it.
2619	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Love this movie. The price was great and shipped very quickly.

Close Encounters Of The Third Kind is the journey of Roy Neary. Roy Neary is a dreamer, stuck in the mundane craziness of everyday life. One night Roy sees something that changes his life, he has a Close Encounter with something unexplainable.

7827	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This is a film about family relationships.  Craig Sheffer and Brad Pitt are brothers Norman and Paul.  The are brought up in Montana by the minister father (Tom Skeritt) and mother (Brenda Blethyn).  The family passion is fly fishing.  When things go wrong they go to the river and fish.
-Outtakes. Not at Jackie Chan level, but amusing still.
---The part where Umbrella Inc. drops the weapons off for Nemesis. Similar to the scene where Umbrella dropped the capsule that contained T-002 into the police station. "Resident Evil 2".
3564	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I too am a Spielberg child.  Forget "Gravity", which had no message other than it's dangerous to fool around in space. "Close Encounters" instead, has a true message of hope of a future peaceful encounter with extraterrestials.  Richard Dreyfus, Mellinda Dillon and the child Carey Guffey, who was only three years old when he was cast, steal the show and the viewer's hearts.  I just saw it again on TV last night, and rushed to get it (my copy ceased playing a long time ago).  This is the film to which I compare every single SF movie I watch, my standard of excelence.
4932	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Aside from foul language at times, it was great acting and story. New 4k was worth it. Not sure why Sony picked some of the new (old) 4K selections. Hope more 4k blueray's are coming.

7131	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Just fun!
As an aside--I do prefer the original theatrical version as the best of the three offered, but it's neat to have all three available, and the poster diagram included (reverse of the great theater poster) is useful to refer to at, at least initially to sort out the cuts and additions.
1102	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This series is my favorite in the Upstairs Downstairs canon.  The residents of 165 Eaton Place face the loss and hardships of World War I bravely.  Several important themes, such as duty, honor, love and loss are explored through the lives of several characters.  War comes home, literally, when a Zeppelin drops a bomb on Eaton Place.  James, Edward, Georgina, and most tragically Rose and Hazel are all victims of the war's bloodlust.  There are some extremely fine moments, such as when Georgina sees some wounded soldiers and realizes her playgirl life has to stop, and some extremely funny ones, as in the episode when the Bellamy's drawingroom is commandeered for a dreary charity event.  With this series the writers and artists reached their height!

7190	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	It's a fun movie, with good actors, well written, and some Carol Burnett has some great lines. Funny and talented as ever.
It's got funny laugh out loud moments, and it might make you cry too.  It's 2 hours long and cast with some legends, 1 of which you may recognize, Julia Roberts. Dylan McDermott plays her beau Jackson. The others you may not recognize, but they make today's stars look unreal when it comes to talent. I personally don't like Sally Fields, I find her outbursts annoying, but this movie gets 5 stars from me still and I can tolerate her quite well in it, it's that good.
The British legal system while sort of like ours in the United States it is quite different in how things are done.  If you plan to enjoy everything in Rumpole it is best to raed up on british courts and the way law is practiced.  Really you only need to know a few things.  A solicitor in British Law is like a basic laywer om the USA.  The Solicitor gathers the basic facts of the case and prepares a basic plan of attack in proving the innocence of person in the dock.  A barrister is a lawyer with special standing that allows him \ her to actually work in conjunction with the Judge and the solicitor to a just end.  thats how things are supposed to work in theory but Judges tend to be convervative hence they get the prosecution a wee bit of help only just.

4331	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Saw this movie on HBO and it was very cool. I like it when Jack Slater says to the bad guy at the end,"No sequel for you".Rated PG-13 for strong action sequences. Canada:14A.Great movie for the whole family.
1819	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	There are some historical inaccurracies in this film, to be sure. The Wikipedia entry for the movie has most of them. And like most movies dealing with any war, there are not enough men on the screen to portray the actual number of soldiers involved. Washington had more than 2000 troops when he went into Trenton, up against about the same number of Hessians. Of course, without computer-generated graphics, there's no way a made-for-television movie can portray that.
Loved the books and the series.
1636	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I loved it so much, I wish it could have gone on and on.  I became so engrossed by the characters.  It was so much more than I expected.

8409	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This has to be one of the greatest movies I've seen! Don't let the other reviews bash on this show! Acting was good, Carol Burnett, Bernadette Peters, and Tim Curry are wonderful as the villians you will love to hate!  The music is wonderful, my favorites being "Sign",  "Hard-knock Life" and "Easy Street". Some people say  this is overly profane, but that's not true! Four swear words are used  throughout the entire show (Those all being the same not harmless word) And  I must admit, you see a lot of underwear, but don't let this discourage  you! Buy this today, I'm sure you will love it!
943	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	James Bond comic book style by Disney. Brought to life from a comic book figure the writer entangles himself by falling in love with another agent from the other side that wishes to defect shortly after they meet in an simple document exchange. Upon her choice she will only defect if the pick up and transfer is done by Condorman!!! As this is the name the writer provided when they met. It is a cool adventure through the countryside with hang gliding, a gypsies truck that turns into a race car and then a hydrofoil with awesome care and boat chases through the Italian Mountains. So Kick back and Enjoy a great movie!!!!
The cast is impressive with WILLIAM H. MACY and DEAN STOCKWELL on the prez's team and Jerry Goldsmith providing another one of his dependable, if unmemorable, action scores.
In 1976, New York City had a parade of prostitutes, pimps, and porno theaters.  Twenty-seven year-old Travis Bickle (Robert DeNiro) gets a job driving a cab, primarily because he can't sleep.  He is willing to drive "anyplace, anytime."  The former Marine and Vietnam Veteran is a loner, interacting awkwardly with the other cabbies and with Betsy, a girl he falls in love with (Cybil Shepherd).  Betsy is a campaign worker for Senator Palantine, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president.

"Epic" -- Mrs. Peel is kidnapped and taken to Schneer Studios where she is forced to make a movie about her own murder; however, the killers are mostly incompetent. This is a funny one.
There was one scene that just jumped out at me. It occurs in the diner before the incident later that night where our travelers experience hatred in the country they admire so much. They go from peace and love to fear and hate. It is as if they witnessed night and day. It was frightening to hear the words coming from people in that restaurant. It was not only scary to wonder what was going to happen to our narrators, but mainly that people were speaking that way to fellow citizens. I know that it still occurs today, and it is surprising to me. We bomb a country because they do not follow the same principles that we do, but we need to start asking ourselves this question ... do we need another United States?
"Girl" is pretty much what you would have if "Almost Famous" had been a long episode of "My So-Called Life". Dominique Swain plays the main character (Andrea Marr), basically the Penny Lane character in "Almost Famous". Swain's usual acting style is to brazen her way through roles, subtlety and nuance are not words that have ever been used to describe her performances. But in "Girl" she comes closest to a carefully crafted performance and actually shows some restraint. Perhaps this is because of her voice-over narration, which serves as a counterpoint to her actions on the screen. She has a nice voice when reined in and she was still very cute in 1998.
7794	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	One of the most beautiful films I've seen in my life. The natural scenery of Montana is sublime!
Fonda said it was something like they should have stopped to live with some of the people they met along the way because they were really the ones who were living.  Kind of like the end of East Bound & Down.

1579	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I read this book long before I saw the movie and I definitely say that it lived up to my expectations.  Jane Eyre is a timeless story and it is beautifully captured in this gothic tale of romance and hidden secrets.  Each character is portrayed very well.  Samantha Morton (who plays Jane Eyre), actually became her seemingly meek and yet truly passionate character before my very eyes.  I would recommend this film to anyone who loved the book, as well as anyone who loves romance and a bit of mystery.


3093	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This movie has everything in it. You'll laugh and you will cry. Its about these women that do nothing but talk about each other, They seem to meet at the beauty shop all the time. Julia Roberts plays a girl that has some type of illness. You will end up laughing at some of the tings that these woman do.
4175	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	What makes the Deep End of the Ocean shine bright is in the way the storyline gradually improves as it goes along, and you will find that your emotions are harder to keep under control as it happens.  The writing is mostly good with a few exceptions, and the way the story keeps you attached to the TV screen is definitely one of the positives.  I seriously wasn't expecting such a phenomenal performance by all the actors and actresses involved.  Putting into words what makes this movie so great is very difficult since there's so much attention to emotions and specifically, crying (not exactly tears of sadness either, which is what's so surprising).
2473	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This is a much appreciated addition to inventory of things that make my life as easy as one would like to have it. As a person who depends a lot on external sources for my professional fulfillment, I am very satisfied.
5334	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Do yourself a favor and grab this on Amazon.de for 10 bucks. Does it have special features? No. Does it have a pretty darn good transfer of an 80s classic? YES. Is it Region Free? Yes. I've tested it on the following devices: Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Samsung Region A blu-ray player. Are the menus in English? Yes. Are there subtitles and alternate audio tracks? Yes. Is it cheaper than the out of print Twilight Time release? of course.
All in all, this movie still scares me (slightly) still. However, I cannot deny its a cool movie I'd be willing to watch just for the scare. Paul W.S. Anderson did a good job directing and writing this movie. The acting is great from all the actors. The storyline is not hard to figure out but its great for this kind of movie and an absolute plus is that its not a complete carbon-copy/import/retelling of the game. It does a good job using references, atmosphere and locals of the game. Lastly, this movie is much longer and better than its sequel.----- [a 5 out of 5]
Don't be fooled by its title, this production is far removed from the book (so if you've never read it, and are seeking an authentic adaptation-- look elsewhere)! The only things that the two have in common are the names of its characters, and a few sequence of events! 95% of the dialogue has been rewritten (and butchered), and some events made up!
For those who want to watch a movie, that is everything --including Genius and most definently clever as all h3LL, then this is the movie for you.

Several times we had to stop and back up because we were unable to hear the  dialogue following one of the gags. I'd highly recommend this for any Star  Wars fans - it's definitely good for a laugh.

if you get upset at some people for saying it is a bad movie just remember they probably never watched it. and also rememnber, resident evil made 200 million dollars and the second film made just about that. these movies are here to stay for at least a third and they already set the date for it for 2006, so start getting excited! resident evil: afterlife is the name for it now, but it could change at anytime. resedent evil apocolypse had 3 names before it was finished.

3124	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper's counter-culture flick "Easy Rider", like Warren Beatty's "Bonnie and Clyde", launched the genre of low budget, independent film-making, and is as an important a film as it is a Hollywood milestone..When the studio system faded away (the back-lot assembly line), there was a vacuum in Hollywood and studio heads were gasping for fresh air?..The industry conundrum was, who would fill the void away from candy-corn musicals like "The Sound of Music", "Mary Poppins", and "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang", that were putting movie-goers into a permanent state of snooze, and hemorraging red ink..Box-office receipts were in freefall, an omen revolution was in the air, and a upshift in audience taste was potentially going unrealized?..Columbia Studios figured they had to roll the dice, and test if a youth audience was ready in numbers to buy theatre tickets if original content was exhibited..Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda were seasoned Hollywood hands that survived the studio wars, and sensed the time was ripe to seize control of their careers by producing new wave content..Collectively, Fonda and Hopper scripted a contemporary "noir western" screenplay, Fonda as (Wyatt), Hopper as (Billy), two drugstore cowboys, mounted on "iron horses" on an existentialist journey to find America, that reflected the angst, paranoia, and prejudices permeating the Johnson/Nixon Viet Nam War era.."Easy Rider" is a biker odyssey, and the end-game is to get to New Orleans and "experience" Mardi Gras before the apocalyptic collapse of culture, an Edenistic premise..See the movie now, and excuse the dated 60's precepts..Realize the movie was an emboldened out-of-the-box move by its creators and Columbia..View the movie in context, and you will overlook its rough edges, and cardboard cut-out stereo-types..The movie occupies a sacred place in indie filmmaking, and paved the way for maverick film-makers like Robert Altman, Peter Bogdanovich, and William Friedkin, meaning there are films today that stand on the shoulders of "Easy Rider", as primitive as the 16mm. film might seem relative to today's digitally enhanced standards..The film proved there was enormous profitability in "new realism", and ushered in packaging a rock soundtrack to accentuate the picture, at the time a sound-breaking strategy.

Even if you do not play the game (or even know nothing about it) you will understand it perfectly for the screenplay was designed for a wider audience. In this sense, the film is constructed so you'll get early on all the information that you need for the rest of the film.

5289	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Just bought this and probably hadn't seen it in 25 years. Rated R for a reason- lots of cursing, blood splattering and sexually suggestive scenes (beware if children watching. You should fast forward).  Great 80s horror without all the typical slashing seen in the Nightmare on Elm Street or Halloween movies.
Even the commentary on the mods was  appropriate! The entire film had much more depth and was much more  thought-provoking than other more "serious" films I had recently  watched.  One other caveat - I would have liked to see more women with  short hair. Try this movie - it will surprise you!

So according to Mr Schrader it's like if Travis had more or less missed his real target by attacking the pimps. We could go further and say outright that real prostitutes are not the ones we think and the woman of the world ...

No, Paul W. S. Anderson is no relation to Paul Thomas Anderson (of Magnolia fame). Anyone who's seen Resident Evil probably knows that without having to be told.

I enjoyed their visions of futuristic dystopias, but never felt involved on an emotional level.

The characters grapple with the same struggles that we continue to confront in mordern-day America: love, loss, coming of age, morality, prejudice, death, economics, social responsibility, unwed mothers, change, freedom and the search for life's ultimate meaning - concluding with the horrendous effects of a World War and its devastating aftermath.
The story for Taxi Driver is centered around Travis Bickle (Robert DeNiro), a lonely and socially-isolated man honorably discharged from the Marine Corps, who takes a job as a taxi driver because of his chronic insomnia (his motto is "If I can't sleep, I might as well get paid for it.").  As time progresses, Travis becomes increasingly disgusted with the "scum" infesting the streets of New York City, and hopes to "make a difference" one day.  In his life, he hopes to bond with a woman named Betsy (Cybill Shephard), whom he considers "an angel in a city of filth," and later gets involved with a young prostitute named Iris (played by a then 12 year-old Jody Foster) and her slimy pimp, Matt (Harvey Keitel).

Holden talks about how he hates the movies, yet he see's a lot of movies. Travis talks about how he despizes the sex on the streets yet watches XXX rated movies.
This is a well acted account  of one of the major events of the War of Independence.  Jeff Daniels  portrays a superb George Washington, who was at times very impatient and  hot tempered.  History seems to gloss over the imperfections and  vulnerabilities of our nations beloved figures, however this movie shows  Washington to be flawed and tired at times like the rest of his army  was.

4407	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	One has to wonder about the reasoning behind removing so much of this wonderful special's original material from this DVD release.  I have my original copy that I taped off of television way back in the mid 80's, and I'd rather watch THAT, fuzzy degrading, annoying Osh Kosh commercials, and all...at least it's INTACT.  Not only have several songs been removed, but the final pay-off to a VERY long running gag (the icy patch) ended up on the cutting room floor, as well, being that it was at the very end of Piggy's song ("Home for the Holidays", cut out).  The editing is SO bad, you can actually TELL where things were removed.  Such a shame.  Here's hoping the matter can be settled, and a fully-restored version offered...though I wouldn't hold my breath.  After all, there are MANY more Muppet  television specials that have disappeared into the mists of time, as well.
However, each version is different, with different characterizations,style and pace. This 1997 original A & E version is good stylistically, the lead characters give earnest interpretations, but seem a bit caricatured and one-dimensional.

The class structure, the changes that came with the 1914-18 war, the entrenched attitudes that resisted the changes and the frustration felt by those bringing in the new ideas.  Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is also there and made me so sad that it was not recognised for what it was.  But the most beautiful thing about all these episodes is of course, the relationship between upstairs and downstairs.  It makes one aware that the boundaries of what we consider family can stretch and stretch.  The actors are superb and I wonder where they are now.  It is just a perfect slice of England and the English with all our prejudices and funny ways of doing things - stiff upper lip, public school - but everyone just muddles along and makes their way through all the turmoil.  A really fine series that I will enjoy watching again and again.

After finally seeing it tonight, I'm happy to say that this movie did a damn good job of invoking the feel and atmosphere of the RE games. It isn't 100% dead-on, it took a few liberties... but they were never really a detriment. It stands up to the games very well, and it's a good popcorn/horror flick in its own right. There were a few moments when I was truly HORRIFIED. I really don't think it's necessary to have played the games to enjoy this movie, not at all. But if you have played them, you'll enjoy it all the more so. No, it isn't the Greatest Film of the Year. It's just a fun, bloody, action/horror movie.

When preproduction of the first Resident Evil film began, the legendary George Romero, whose Dead franchise was a major inspiration for the Resident Evil games, was commissioned to write a script. His script shared many similarities to the game, such as the inclusion of characters like Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, and Albert Wesker. However, it also made changes to the story that game developers Capcom didn't like, and Romero was ultimately turned down. Instead, they hired Paul WS Anderson, director of Event Horizon and another video game movie, Mortal Kombat. His treatment was more like a prequel to the games, and this approach was more acceptable to Capcom's head honchos. Anderson's treatment was greenlit, and "Resident Evil: Ground Zero" went into production (the "Ground Zero" subtitle was abandoned after the events of September 11th).

EXTRAS

These ladies in their own unique ways teach about love, faith, hope and charity.  The good ladies in this movie are so much fun too.  Watching this movie is just a pure joy.  As a black man I must say that the fact this movie never really showed the beauty of today's educated fun modern southern black woman does take away from the DVD's overall impact.  This movie suffers intensely from its culturally monotoned nature, an ugly hell from which nothing can rescue it.
Highlights of the movie include the famous "20 worse things you can say about C.D.'s nose" (if you keep count, it's actually 25?!), Chris's constant attempts to overcome his shyness about meeting Roxanne, the confrontation of C.D. and two drunk skiers (one of them played by SNL's Kevin Nealon), and any scene with Michael J. Pollard.
The frustrating thing is, this DVD wasn't just slapped together. The picture looks crystal clear compared to old copies on VHS, Laserdisc, and DVD. The high definition widescreen presentation looks amazing; it's by far the best I've seen this film look. The soundtrack has a very loud 5.1 that is very cool, especially if you've always heard the film in mono. (If you prefer mono, it's there, too.)

7212	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	It surprised me, but I liked it!  I put off getting this DVD because I had been disappointed before with HK action movies.  Grim, brutal and usually ending in a bloodbath of some sort, with low production qualities and nil storyline in some cases, or just very hard to follow!  However, this one is really good. though it was a bit confusing to follow at first.  But I am really getting tired of Hollywood movies - they all seem the same to me with their jazzed up special effects at the expense of the story.  This movie had SFX but not too much.  I liked the young actors and hope to see more of them in future.  Sam Lee was especially funny and I suppose the "teeny-boppers" will sigh over Nick Tse and Steven Fung.  Eric Tsang was as zany as usual (I have seen him before in comedies).  But the moody Japanese villian Akatora almost stole the show.  You almost felt sorry for him in the end. Another surprise was the tense undercurrent between Jack and Lok (the Chinese villian).  They seemed to almost be friends, Lok even saving Jack's life!  Loved the cameo by Jackie Chan at the end.  (He's still my favourite HK action star!)  But a a very good movie, good action and acting. It looks like the HK action movie genre is really picking up it's act with good storylines PLUS great action.

2. Okay - I can believe that they would test the genes of a new applicant when they were applying for a new job.  But it costs something to perform these tests, and we're told that in-valids who try the "borrowed ladder" scam are very rare.  I didn't buy the fact that the company tested ALL of their employees EVERY DAY.  It would just cost too much to enforce the already-illegal discrimination.  This seems like a plot device introduced only to make Vincent's plan more dangerous - like Gattaca has introduced a complicated and expensive screening program only to catch.... HIM!

2393	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	This is a good movie from start to finish. Harrison Ford plays the hero role to the limit. Gary Oldman plays an absolutely mean and scary villain. He shows no remorse about shooting an unarmed hostage or using violence.  The plot of this movie is outstanding. The idea that these Russian thugs  could use the disguise of journalists was unique. Evev the secret service  agent who goes bad is portrayed as being wormy. The ending makes Harrison  Ford out to be a hero. A very good movie.
In the case of "Resident Evil", it's not the movie itself that is so bad, it's all those little things that are messed up, without ruining completely the quality of the movie. If you've seen "Deep Blue Sea" and liked it, then you'll love Resident Evil. As much as "Deep Blue Sea" was a very simple and common model of what a suspense movie turns out to be in Hollywood, "Resident Evil" is another clone of that model. What I mean by that is the presence of the similar elements, which mostly are: A good-looking girl, a bunch of men that get killed one by one, a spectacular enemy, some high-tech facilities and equipment, a very simple scenario, some violence (not graphic enough to gross out the average teenager, which is 80% of their target audience, but not mild enough to be rated PG-13), and some cool looking action sequences. It's a formula that works many times, and they chose it for a movie that promised so much, but did not deliver what the real "Resident Evil" fans like.

Taxi Driver was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture, but lost out to the formulaic boxer flick, Rocky, penned by Sylvester Stallone It did, however, win the Palme D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. It is not only a great motion picture, but it is one of the best portraits of a character ever filmed, and Travis Bickle is one of the scariest characters in film history. Probably only Martin Landau's character, Judah Rosenthal, in Woody Allen's Crimes And Misdemeanors, is more truly horrifying (and certainly far more evil). But Bickle is every bit as scary, for he is far more unpredictable to those about him. Yes, he is not a cold blooded murderer, like Rosenthal, but he is certainly violent, and a racist- not of the KKK White Supremacist sort, but of the passive, scared little white boy sort; and much mileage has been gotten from the fact that the film's final shootout victims were all white, when in the original screenplay they had been all black (Scorsese and Schrader bowed to studio pressure to change that fact, because by not making a change, the beancounters claimed, the film might incite race riots, and lead to financial culpability). These elements are what make Bickle scary, and why he is so realistically portrayed. Yet, there is also the niggling truth even the film seems loath to admit, that Travis Bickle really and truly IS a hero, and not merely a crazed lunatic. Note that I wrote `not merely,' for this is an important point: because most critics resort to binary thought in such matters, that does not change the fact that Bickle is a dangerous and paranoid man and a hero; and these are not mutually opposing claims. And by `hero,' I mean it in the absolutely most sober sense of the word. Heroes are not perfect men, but they are real men (and women, of course). And heroes are not necessarily even ethically `good' men (imagine that!). But they are brave, they are determined, and they are relentless, in the pursuit of the goals, things, and people, they deem as good. But, most of all they are `real,' not like the fictive heroes that populate books and films, comic books and video games. And rarely has there ever been a more chillingly realistic portrayal of a hero in film than Travis Bickle. Now, do me the favor of not misinterpreting that, ok?

GATTACA examines the nature of personal identity, personal destiny, and the idea that an individual can become more than the sum of his parts.  Aldous Huxley's BRAVE NEW WORLD already thoroughly covers these same themes, but GATTACA approaches them in a more earnest and less satirical manner than does Huxley's magnum opus.  GATTACA is therefore a very literate piece of speculative SF that should appeal to those who desire more than the standard STAR WARS (1977) or bug-eyed alien fare.  Unfortunately, the film is a bit too cerebral for the average filmgoer, and probably explains why GATTACA was a bit of a bomb at the box office.

On another note: despite what has happened later, there is a huge amount of chemistry and deep admiration between Hawke and Thurman, which really made the movie successful and led to a reasonably long marriage (for Hollywood) and children.

However, his words portray a man unable to articulate himself even in his hour of destiny - "listen you f***ers, you screw heads, here is a man who would not take it anymore, who would.. not....." (starts over) "listen you f***ers you screw heads.....". This scene is very effective in that it illustrates Travis's inability to express his emotions with certainty, even when they concern convictions which he feels strongly about.

Robin Williams and Terry Gillian at their best.
  It does all of this on a shoestring budget and a cast basically consisting of the six pythons, and a few extras thrown on here and there for speciality scenes.

I'm old enough to remember when scary movies actually believed they could frighten you and not show their insecurities through self-parody.

Besson doesn't answer this fundamental question, and the introduction of Dustin Hoffman at the end of the film, seemingly imbued with magical powers, really doesn't help. I still don't know what Hoffman was meant to do in the film or who he was. Was he Jesus? Was he Joan's conscience? Or just more evidence that she really was nuts? Or was HE the lead guitarist from Slade?

6698	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	The Resident Evil movie: yet another example of why Hollywood never seems to make a good game based movie. I would fall backwards in shock if I found out the film's director had actually PLAYED the games, or just had someone play them for him and explain what happens. Why does this movie throw any sort of continuity from the games out the window? Why are none of the characters from the game are here? The original Residant Evil had a perfect plot for a horror movie. The Special Tactics and Rescue Squad gets stuck in a mansion full of Zombies, Mutant Dogs, Frogs, Spiders, Bees, Sharks, you name it, they've got it, and an excellent character cast to go with it. Instead, they chuck it all out except for the mansion, the Zombies, the dogs, and the Licker from Resident Evil 2. And gore wise, it's pretty clean compared to the games. Heck, it probably wouldn't even be rated R if they didn't throw in Milla Jovovich's nude scenes to boost up the rating. *sigh*...
  Rod Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) is married to Ronnie (Teri Garr).  They have three children, Brad (Shawn Bishop), Justin (Toby Dreyfuss [yes, his nephew] and Silvia (Adrienne Campbell).  He is a good father, sometimes stressed out, but he is also a sensitive man.  One night, he gets an emergency call from his work. Being an electrical lineman, he has to go out. He drives to a rural area near Muncie, Indiana and stops at a railroad crossing.  This moment is about to change him.  He continues to have visions of something, but he does not know what it is yet.
I tend to be quite free and easy with my 5 star ratings but, in this case, I feel justified. This film is one that I frequently return to regardless that the shocks and surprises generally don't anymore and my copy will never find its way to a car boot sale.

'The Crossing' finds Washington at a critical time when he is at low ebb after the humbling defeats around New York. The war effort is portrayed in a very unromantic life. This was a war that America lost more battles than it won. But Washington at Christmas 1776 had a ace up his sleeve and the rest as they say is history. Daniels dazzles as Washington and portrays him as a very human character and shows his great temper that Washington usually kept under wraps. His dry humor is also a nice touch. I also like the bringing to life of the nearly forgotten John Glover ,by Sebastian Roch, and the true bravery of his men and what they sacrificed for the cause without their efforts little would have been possible. Roger Rees also does a nice job as Washington's friend Hugh Mercer. Mercer was one of the ancestors of George S. Patton of World War II fame, for a little trivia.

If you want to know, in depth what the movie is about..see another reviewer's review.  I'll just say here that the plot of an underground, highly classified colony of people, working on unnatural forms of DNA was exciting. When one little vial gets dropped, the computer system shuts the plant down, literally. Everyone is killed to contain the contamination.  The first 50 minutes were decent, but when really awful and unconvincing zombies jumped out of the woodwork, the movie could not redeem itself (think of zombies from knock-off flicks of the original "Night of the Living Dead"). This is when 11 or more people, including ourselves walked out of the theater.

Even though I didn't see Shakespeare in Love, I was still able to get most of the jokes. This is a VERY funny film and is worth watching over and over again. If you're a Star Wars fan, you might also want to try Hardware Wars.

I don't know what other reviewers are talking about when they find fault with how dark and grim this production seems.  Im sure its exactly what Dickens would have wanted and exactly right for 1999.  No, I wouldnt object if the video were re-mastered into true HD-widescreen but I felt Id waited long enough to see this flim again.  No sign of a re-generation was found from BBC so I purchased it at a decent price on the secondary market.  If and when a re-mastered version of this classic appears I will want to buy it.

9720	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	This 1997 science fiction film presents a future society in which most children are conceived through genetic manipulation to ensure they possess the best traits of their parents. Those conceived outside the program are discriminated against. The plot is silly, doesn't hold water, isn't even up to current achievements in genetic manipulation, and is boring.
The series also pokes fun at the British legal system and the various personality and ego types that are drawn to work in it. Another thing I like: Rumpole does not always win, and his client is not always innocent even when he does win. Lots of irony and pathos in these episodes. Enjoy.

"Girl" isn't exactly like the book, but for what it is it's better than 99% of the teen tripe that's being produced these days which make teens look like [jerks].

Speaking of this new edition, it's long overdue. I own the 2001 Special Edition and watched it last week only to be horrified by the grainy, defect-ridden transfer. The 2001 print is a mess- the movie looks as bad as the grindhouse flicks it sometimes mirrors. The transfer in this set could be as bad as an average '01 release and still it would be an improvement. As I don't own the new set, I can't comment on the new features, but they look to be substantial. Therefore, this 2-disc set is absolutely essential for every person with a DVD player.

716	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Arthur is a timeless show.  Great lessons for children to learn.
The message of "Taxi Driver" is that peace comes from strength. It was a popular theme in a number of flicks. Hollywood seemed to fail to grasp some important realities about its marketplace. Time after time, movies that veered away from "touchy feely" liberalism and gave teeth to conservative characters (Eastwood's "Dirty Harry", Bronson, DeNiro, and others) made boffo box office, yet the industry has never come to grips with itself. They return time after time to premises that insult conservative audiences, and wonder why the lines get shorter.

A movie that could have been so much more...I could easily criticize the plot, or the actors, but you know how it is, and we all know how it is. It's just normal, common, average...it has nothing special...it is an excuse to make a movie. I'll still have to admit that Milla Jovovich is not only a beautiful woman, but she's also a pretty good actress. Even though her role in "Resident Evil" did not require a lot of talent, she's still able, sometimes, to make us share the shivers she plays on the screen.
a bunch of deadbeats are up to.


claps alot* you go cast and everyone that made this
I have to believe that if they hadn't had some WWI posters and banners and cars available, they would have cut out the War Bond Rally part and kept the continuity intact.  When Slade sees his gravestone, it appears that he was born in 1876- which would make him just over forty in the War Bond scene, and in his mid-fifties in 1933, when the film is supposed to be taking place.  Maybe it's because I'm a history teacher, but this part always bugged me.  Maybe they should have had everyone excited about the Spanish American War of 1898- that would have made a lot more sense, but they would have had to save the scenes with the cars for later. They could have placed the first scene at the end of the Civil War (that would have allowed for some nice props,) making his age in 1933 more believable.  Oh well, great movie.

before they get shot, Fonda tells the dirty guy "we blew it"

Ford portrays President James Marshall, who has just given a speech decrying international terrorism and warning those that would use terrorism for political purpose, "Your day is over."  But when a truly despicable Russian national (Gary Oldman) and his men forcibly take over the President's plane, holding not only his staff, but even more importantly his wife and daughter, as hostages, Ford is forced to take matters into his own hands.  The result is not always plausible, and some of the special effects don't work quite as well as they should, but one cannot fault the film's pace or the tension and excitement inherent in the story.

But what it comes down to is one's nostalgic memories of "Annie" or one wanting to watch a family friendly musical on Blu-ray.  I used this film as an actual introduction to musicals for my nine-year-old, but the concept of why characters were continually singing and dancing and not enough conversation made him a bit impatient.  But I suppose growing up and being exposed to live musicals, especially watching "The Carol Burnett Show" as a young child of the '70s, helped ease me to appreciating "Annie" a bit more.

Tonya leads a gentle, soft yoga practice (not powerful as in the title) geared towards intermediate practitioners. There is not a lot of sculpting performed in the practice, although her Yoga routine can provide some toning. She provides very little instruction or beginner options so I would not recommend it if you're looking for a beginner's stretching routine. For instance, during Chaturanga (slow downward movement plank), she does not give the option to lower your knees first, then goes into the full upward dog position. She does bridge pose (an advanced yoga posture) with very little instruction and poor form.

Washington was somewhat wooden, which Daniels again plays well, because he took every aspect of his life with dead seriousness and a clear vision of the nation he almost single-handedly created.

This is not typical sci-fi fare.  Indeed, there is virtually no sci-fi action in it at all--it is all character-driven, with strong acting all around.  Director Andrew Niccol gives us a compelling story of human achievement.  The movie wrestles with the ethical implications of genetic modification, but it also shows that the spirit of man cannot be altered in the same way.  There is no gene for courage and determination.  You either have them or you don't.

This has been my absolute favorite Christmas video since I first saw it many years ago on TV.

4151	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Based on a true story, this film uses muted tones to express the story of a family coping when a child goes missing, then struggling even more when he returns suddenly to their lives nine years later, as a twelve-year old. The film benefits greatly from finely crafted, understated performances from Pfeiffer and Williams, as well as the moodiness of Jonathan Jackson as the older brother, Vincent, who is trying bitterly to hold things together. Look out also for Whoopi Goldberg, and for an early appearance by Alexa Vega.
Quite frankly I do not see what is so not helpful about this.  Obviously those who did not find this helpful have no idea about the game in which this movie is supposed to be based on.  Surely it's packed with a lot of suspense and action, but it did not follow the game in anyway.  I found this movie lame and somewhat of a rip-off from other movies.
An ingenious blending of twentieth century UFO lore with overt Christian symbology and a religious-like fervor makes Steven Spielberg's '77 sci-fi classic more relevant today than ever.

Seeing Devil's Tower in real life, without a script, or special effects, has far more impact than any movie.
There's convincing attention to detail dedicated to the look and feel of the film. Thanks to this, a strong supporting cast, and a taut script, I could feel the palpable reek of desperation from these characters, hard men and women eking out and making do in the poverty-ridden climate of 1930s America. I like that the fights, staged in dank warehouses and on seedy piers, are well-choreographed and don't come off as too showy. Chaney and his opponents are honest fighters - even the bald and intimidating and disconcertingly grinny Jim Henry (Robert Tessier) - and I soaked in the grueling, no-nonsense brutality. HARD TIMES is an unsentimental, tough-minded period melodrama. It's also a great fight movie.
Bonus Feature:  Theatrical trailer
VIIDEO....The cover of the Blu Ray says that the film has been remastered and I believe it.  While I had not seen the film in many years and do not own the Standard Def DVD and, thus, have nothing to compare it with, all I can say is that the video transfer looks beautiful in all ways.  The colors are just gorgeous with the daylight sky shots a rich and smooth blue.  The blacks are as true to black as I have seen in the past with great details easily showing in these dark and shadowy areas.  At no point in watching the Director's Cut did I see any artifacting nor stair-stepping which would have been prominent is many of the wide angle landscape shots.  The video transfer absolutely deserves the 5 stars I gave it.

6572	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	I really don't like writing negative reviews.  I like to write about things I enjoy, it makes the process of writing reviews much more enjoyable.  But every now and again something so rotten comes along that I've gotta say something.  This is the case with Resident Evil.  Hollywood seems to be getting into a zombie phase these days.  This is scary coz Hollywood knows about as much about making a good zombie flick as I know about nuclear fusion.  History has shown us that all great zombie flicks have been made outside the system.  There are many reasons I hate this film, but here's the top two:  1) I'm a fan of George Romero, and 2) I'm a fan of the video game series.  Resident Evil is a game based on the works of George Romero, yet Romero wasn't allowed to do this film.  Just like a previous reviewer, I have also read some of Romero's original script for Resident Evil.  If he made it, it would have been superb.  Why wasn't it chosen?  Probably coz it was intelligent, it actually stuck very close to the story, it would have been about two hours long, and it would have been too gory for an R rating.  In other words-for people who like good horror films and not cruddy rock video type films.  Instead the studios figured that they'd go with Paul Anderson since he directed another lame movie version of a video game.  This film actually has a decent opening sequence, but falls flat on it's face afterwards.  Anderson decided to take it upon himself to change the story, and not for the better either.  Now everthing is all high tech and computerized.  Part of the scariness of the game was it's simplicity.  It's down and dirty approach to survival.  We have yet another clone of 2001's HAL in the form of a computer security system called the Red Queen(oooooh, scary).  Everything's a cliche in this film, no surprises.  The soundtrack is dated and annoying.  It's full of that lame Matrix slo-mo junk we've seen a million times before, as well as those lame VanDamme-esque slo-mo kicks and punches.  The "Licker" is pitiful.  I've seen scarier creatures in Fraggle Rock.  The cast is all pretty people, not real looking people.  All of the scientists in the beginning are hot women!  Yeah, right.  There's a scene stolen from the movie, "Cube".  There's basically no gore.  Sorry to sound so shallow, but the sad fact is that gore is required for a zombie film.  The only positive I can think of is the zombie dogs which looked good.  But that's the only good I could find out of an hour and forty minutes.  I feel so sorry for Romero.  He's really been getting the green weenie lately.  First, he's screwed out of Resident Evil, then some no-talent hack by the name of Zack Snyder remakes Dawn Of The Dead!  And this is Romero's genre!  He made this genre, now they're treating him like a doormat.  Accept no imitations and make it a Romero night!
This is a great version if you don't have 6 1/2 hours to watch the phenomenal "Jesus of Nazareth," or if you don't feel up to the brutal and intense "The Passion."

This movie has always been hampered by the highly compressed nature of the audio, especially the score.  Unfortunately, what we have here is no improvement.  You would think that with all of the effort that goes into so-called "ultimate" versions, they could have gone in to touch-up some of the film's score.  Case in point, is over the end credits.

Fortunately the visual elements of the film (special effects, zombie makeup, sexy cast, blood, brains and great big bangs) make up where the plotline fails and, if you can achieve a zombie-like level of mental activity ("Braaaaaiiiins!") you can extract maximum pleasure from this fine example of the cinematic arts.
The extras add to a very funny movie. The commentary is funny, and the other extras are very enlightening. This is a film that I would recommend to only fans of certain humour, no "Saturday Night Live" or "South Park" humor. Still, this is a very funny movie.



The film may take another couple of watchings since its commentary on the human condition and where society is going is quite fascinating and important to understand.

The only saving grace is Jude Law, who seems to make his living these days propping up dreadful films with solid performances (see A.I. and The Road To Perdition in this regard), and who at the critical moment in the film, performs a very deft ascent of a spiral staircase without using his legs.
3. The movie doesn't really make clear who the main character plans to take out and the main character never seems to do much research or investigation into his mastermind scheme....which I really felt to be completely coincidental due to that fact. So basically that part of the plot goes like this: He talks about how he dislikes the scums and low-life's of the city aka drug dealers, prostitution, etc etc. Then he trains with a few guns that he bought, then one day he just decides okay it's time to do it. Then he goes and kills three criminals. Again I bring up that he does not do any research into these guys or the movie never shows him do enough research to justify his final scenes. You're left confused till the very end and it's not a clever setup either.
6168	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I've just added this classic to my DVD library. Although the DVD itself is not that cool (no such special features as commentaries, cast & crew bios, production notes etc...), it deserves as cherished a place in my library as the place "Roxanne" settled in my heart. For the two last decades Hollywood had some rising stars in the category of physical comedy (Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey, the Wayans brothers...) but none of them has made a movie that got me laugh so hard while capturing my heart so tenderly at the same time as Steve Martin did with "Roxanne". Was it because those new actors couldn't work out something creative like "the 20 nose jokes", or was it because they just needed better scripts to bolster their talents? I found it amazing that Steve Martin decided to be the screenplay writer himself and somehow managed to convert the concept of a French Renaissance play -- "Cyrano de Bergerac" -- to this modern time comedy and turned its tragic conclusion into a happy ending. Apart from the "nose jokes", he gave us so many fun lines to enjoy and remember. And apart from Martin, all other actors also gave their best performances, and best lines too: Shelley Duvall's simple riddle, Daryl Hannah's "ironic" refusal of a coat, Rick Rossovitch's "extemporaneous" night and "pillow fluffing" request..., and, oh yeah, the "earn more sessions by sleeving" line... Well, all I want to say is, hurry up, add this movie to your library so your family and friends could share your joy. We all need this kind of joy in a world where "all the concepts of beauty have been programmed by TV's and magazines" -- to quote Tony Robbins from "Shallow Hal". Now that being said, please bear with one more humble opinion of mine: After "Roxanne", I only found "Shallow Hal" as a good one in the genre. Hope it won't be the last.
Interestingly, Spielberg added the last section inside the ship so he could get the financing to re-edit the film for the 1980 re-release. It was a compromise he could live with at the time but he has since reversed that opinion wisely realizing that focus groups (Columbia's marketing department got focus group feedback asking to see the inside of the ship and that's where the decision to show the inside came from)can be idiots and cause damage to a film (see "Blade Runner" for an example of how it can compromise a film).
Arthur searches the mall for presents for his parents, D.W. is desperate for a Tina the Talking Tabby (whose theme song haunts Arthur everywhere he goes!), Uncle Fred makes an unexpected visit on his way to a Floridian Christmas, and Arthur's Dad insists on making an "authentic" dinner that was likely served in Bethlehem over 2000 years ago.

6772	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	NOW what? For the life of me, I can't imagine why Besson thought that the world needed (yet) another Joan of Arc movie. The "real" Joan wasn't even considered important in France until the 1800's, when her story  was resurrected (and embellished - current scholarship doubts whether  Orleans was actually under siege at all!) But (sigh), he decided to give it  his *treatment*, and this is what we end up with: two and a half hours of  his wife (and "Leeloo" from "The Fifth Element")  alternately screaming, shrieking, or whimpering in the face of anyone who  happens to be standing by. The scrolling text at the opening of the film  was illegible and flipped by so quickly no one could read it, not that it  seemed to matter. Any "plot" is sublimated to the "art"  - gorgeous photography, lush scenery, and realistically violent battle  scenes. Warning - this is serious stuff, not a candied-up rendition of  medieval warfare. Back in those days, you took out your enemy not by  gunfire, but by debilitating them in as serious fashion as possible,  including maces, axes, the ubiquitous swords, and some even less pleasant  and graphically-demonstrated methods. But along the way, Besson loses  whatever guiding vision originally prompted him to make this film.  Characters start to answer questions with "Whatever", the  Dauphine (John Malkovich playing the usual invertebrate) seems less  interested in being King than he is in where the cast party will be, Faye  Dunaway snaps and snarls in a puzzling way (one minute she's Joan's biggest  patron, only to turn on her with no discernable motivation), and in one of  the BIGGEST casting bloopers in the last half of the 20th century, Dustin  Hoffman shows up looking like a retread Obi Wan Kenobe, sounding like  Dustin Hoffman, and is supposed to be "The Conscience"  (apparently because the gaping plot holes required SOME sort of cinematic  asphalt to keep the audience at least partially "in" on what is  supposed to be transpiring). This is certainly the most serious problem  with the movie: if Hoffman is intended to be a sort of mental foil ,  voicing Joan's inner doubts, he certainly takes his time in making his  presence known. If the movie is intended to illuminate Joan's  "human" aspects (as opposed to her spiritual side), then  three-quarters of the film is wasted on one battle scene after another with  nary a glimmer of self-doubt or moral questioning. Buckets of blood, to be  sure.

It's pretty much exactly what you would expect- Lack of a good plot plus little character development, but hey, I've seen worse. This movie is a lot of fun though, with plenty of scares plus some nice visual effects and set designs, this movie is at the very least worth seeing if you are any kind of horror fan, I think any fan of the games would love it, I sure did. Speaking of the games, it does remain faithful although there aren't any of the characters you've seen in them, except for the monsters of course.  It's the same old plot of the games though, in fact it is set up a lot like them so it will also be very familier to Resident Evil fans. There a few things I would have changed though. For one the characters didn't seem very real, they didn't really have a story to them, so you can't really care about them or if they die or not. Plus the ending was a little disapointing and was kind of a tease, I expected a little more to happen, but I guess I'll have to wait again for the sequal, although the last thirty seconds was very nice indeed! One last thing... the gore factor, there should have been more! Seems a little silly but it is what the games are known for, I mean the movie got an R rating! Not that there isn't enough gore and violence but there were times in the movie where you expected to see it but didn't. Anyway this movie is still worth seeing, don't expect an oscer winning masterpiece, but expect a lot of mindless fun with plenty of good scares, kind of like the game? Almost. It also is the only movie based on a video game that ends up being well worth it in the end! There aren't to many zombie related movies around these days either, so that's an added bonus.

I already knew that I was having problems with a nervous bladder, but when I experienced a prolapse, I was frightened.  After doing some research, I found that prior to any surgery or other medical things, a round of physical therapy would be ordered. I decided I'd rather do this in the privacy and comfort of my own home. Tasha Mulligan is a PT and specialized in this area. The anatomy and explanations are well done and well presented for visualization. This was important - and helpful - to me. Also helpful, is the quiet, matter of fact voice, the pace of the workouts, and her counting. I can't count, concentrate and exercise at the same time - I need someone else counting!  It took a full month of using this on the FIRST set of workouts, before I could slightly feel the muscles move.  It was in the second month that I began noticing the improvement of bladder issues, with the other nice side effect of seeing a slightly thinner waist and stomach muscles. The third month, the prolapse was not bothering me.  I have followed up with my OBGYN who let me know I was doing the right thing and encouraged me to keep it up.  I'm still only doing the first and part of the second sets of workouts.  I am well-pleased with the results and grateful that Tasha Mulligan put it out.

6284	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Is it even possible to make a decent movie out of a video game? As we continue our tour of movies pre-made from video games, we're starting to doubt that. Video games have already revealed everything. Where can the movie go and stay true to the video game (assuming "staying true" has any meaning in such circumstances). In RS2 we're given every genre gimmick and stereo-type in the book trying to flesh out a story that is already very well-known. Nothing can ever succeed on that basis. Good movies--great movies--are new, strange, and exciting. The writing needs to go in utterly new directions to be meaningful. It's a tremendous risk... and probably one the studios are unwilling to take. But there is a precedent. Shakespeare himself took stories--well-known stories--and wove them in new ways to create the greatest stage-plays ever written. Is this so entirely different from taking concepts from video games and putting them on the screen? Video games provide a shorthand and background that screenwriters could exploit if they chose. Instead, the choose to exploit a too-willing audience.

Bronson is the textbook definition of "tough guy".  He plays a street fighter in the 30s who doesn't say much, but can knock the taste right out of your mouth.  Basically, it's the Bronson version of Every Which Way But Loose, minus the laughs and the ape.

For many of us, the first question will be, "Did Steven ditch that interior of the Mothership?" Happily, it was the first cut he made. All the good stuff is here, edited more tightly by an admittedly older and less credulous director. Yet despite his avowed "maturity" (read skepticism), his Director's Cut is delicious, loving, and as full of wonder as ever. I know this is unpopular: I love Spielberg for his lyricism, his poetry, and his willingness to take us "out there." "Private Ryan" was quite well-made. I've never gotten through Schindler. But in CE3K, ET, Jurassic Park, Always and others, Steven has shown me things I've always wanted to see. Though much of his industry recognition has come from his more recent work, it's always been his forays into fantasy that seemed so redolent of truth to me. In the Director's Cut, he shows that the boy within the man is still alive and luminous. Dreyfuss has never had a better turn (arguable, admittedly, when one thinks of "Mr. Holland's Opus," a more mature tour-de-force for him) and Melinda Dillon is the ultimate feminine archetype.

Pal Joey initially sprang to life as a series of New Yorker short stories by John O'Hara, which were then stitched together as a novel, one which consisted entirely of letters supposedly written by Joey to his friend Ted. Joey was a down on his luck nightclub entertainer who had a somewhat cracked moral compass, but who was a likable guy nonetheless. John O'Hara himself brought the material to Rodgers and Hart and suggested a musical adaptation, offering to write the book (libretto) himself. The musical version saw Joey (played in the original Broadway version by a newcomer named Gene Kelly) on the make with a wealthy socialite, one he feels can set him up in business with his own nightclub, while he simultaneously woos a more innocent girl. Joey is a cad, a user who's constantly scheming to latch on to that next rung on the ladder of success, and as such he bears a certain similarity to another anti-hero whose story was musicalized some two decades later.

I am not really a Julia Roberts fan, but this is iconic over the top performance for everyone is a delight.  I really see it more as a Sally Field movie.  You cant take your eyes off her.  I recently had 20 ppl over to my house to watch the movie and served creole food and bleedin armadillo grooms cake.  It was fabulous.
The movie starts with the preparations for the wedding of Sally Field and Tom Skerrit's daughter,  Julia Roberts.  And then you have all the friends and acquaintances who are involved.  There is the beauty parlor where all the gossip takes place, and where friendships are made.  It is funny, sad and completely absorbing.  Julia's diabetis is a big concern for everyone especially since she decided to have a child and it is something that is very hazardous to her health.

6865	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Hayworth and Novak give excellent performances of their respective characters but Sinatra is the superstar. Unlike, for example, in "From Here to Eternity", Frank really doesn't have to act in this movie; just be himself. This is what makes it such an enjoyable flick. It's almost a documentary. It's also full of Rodgers and Hart (arranged by another genius, Nelson Riddle), which further propels it to 5 star status. I wish Sinatra had sung more of these American standards (which he owns like no other singer, except, perhaps, Ella) in this movie but this isn't really a musical. It defies categorization. It's just Sinatra between two beautiful bookends and a mid 50s Hollywood urban love story. It is a permanent part of my video library listed under "Ring-a-ding-ding!"

2847	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I bought this Edition at Big Lots a while back.  I absolutely love this Edition.  This is a Classic American Movie that everyone should see. While I am an avid Fantasy/Horror/Sci-Fi person, there are a select few that everyone should see/have.  NOTHLD, Gone With The Wind, Easy Rider (OK a small but not an exhaustive list).  These and others capture the spirit of the times that they were made.
The storyline of the film has been well-discussed already, but I'd like to add my own comments. I rarely review movies or music on Amazon because people tend to get so grouchy with me if my viewpoint differs from their own, and arguing with them isn't worth the hassle. But this movie is worth any heat I get in putting out my opinion on it. :D I was actually a little astounded by the level of nudity & violence portrayed artistically via photography in the film- and I believe that's the exact effect everyone making the movie was going for. Mission accomplished. I'm certainly no prude, having grown up on MTV, HBO & every other cable channel available since 1984. But nearly thirty-five years after it's release, even with all of the explosive films that I've sat through, this still has a jolting edge to it. I consider it a must-view film for others as it surprisingly produced an entirely new viewing experience for me. The psychic aspect portrayed is actually a little annoying to me & not really as important as it might be made out to be by the film's title. There's something of a "guilty pleasure" enjoyment in this film, which I thought only I felt, but others online confirmed they agreed on. I can't quite put my finger on it. I can say that the film is fast-paced; you won't be waiting around an hour to see any build-up of action here. It's pulsing from the first scene until the last, like good old-fashioned movies did so well. I don't see that much anymore with new films. Sigh.

Jane had high emotions  but did not strike out often...the childhood was a small part of the book,  and though important, it is not the major part of the story.

The movie is dated now, but I found it enjoyable nonetheless. I would recommend it for people born in the 50s or before, as well as younger people who are curious about what life might have been like at the end of the 60s.
While I believe the story line (500+ page novel) is better suited to a miniseries (length); I quite enjoyed the latest ('11) movie- despite its being only 2 hrs. long!
President James Marshall (Ford) is returning from the Soviet Union, travelling with his staff and family on Air Force One, the President's custom modified 747.  While in flight, terrorists disguised as journalists, take over the plane, led by Ivan Korshunov (Gary Oldham).

The pod is launched, so the terrorists believe that the President has escaped, but he remains hidden aboard.

Cerebral and dark in places but captures the essence of the setting and time period.
For once, I agree with most critics with their assertion on a "classic" movie.  Taxi Driver is truly a masterpiece in the psychological-thriller genre, and I think it's Scorcese's crowning jewel.  If you want a classic film with an excellent portrayal of a sociopath in a city of slime on the verge of madness, then this movie is a must-watch.
As much as I love Downton Abbey, I felt that this season of Upstairs, Downstairs credibly explored all the complexities of WW I - focusing more on the personal lives of the occupants of 165 Eaton Place and how the war affects them all in terms of relationships, duties, and sacrifices. This is one of the best British period dramas I've ever watched, and that's saying a lot given the vast number of BBC period dramas I've amassed over the years. I plan to get the 40th Anniversary DVD of all five seasons of this show to add to my collection. Upstairs Downstairs is truly a timeless classic!

Anna (Jena Malone) and Ben (Liam Aiken), the two children of Jackie (Susan Sarandon) and Luke (Ed Harris) Harrison, have to cope with the fact that their parents divorced and that there is a new woman in their father's life: Isabel (Julia Roberts), a successful photographer. She does her best to treat the kids in a way that makes them still feel at home when being with their dad, but also loves her work and does not plan to give it up. But Jackie, a full-time mother, regards Isabel's efforts as offensively insufficient. She can't understand that work can be important to her as well as the kids. The conflict between them is deepened by the sudden diagnose of cancer, which might may be deadly for Jackie. They all have to learn a little in order to grow together.

To John Steed, exemplar of the-way-things-are-and-should-be, Emma Peel was the living embodiment of forces threatening to destroy everything he held dear, everything to which he'd devoted his life, his duty, his sacred honor. To Peel, Steed was the sort of hidebound reactionary she'd been fighting against her entire life in order to be the sort of woman, the sort of whole person her sense of individuality demanded. The great thing about the John Steed/Emma Peel Avengers episodes was watching these two very different people, each representing social forces the other had every reason to despise, over time learn to value and respect what the other had to offer, eventually even to love each other. An endless source of debate among Avengers TV fans is whether or not Steed and Peel's relationship ever became sexual or was simply platonic. Whichever opinion you embrace, there can be no doubt the love and respect were there.

1430	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Many passionate Jane Eyre fans hate this adaptation. I have read the book more than once and I rather liked this version-- it doesn't maybe glorify the story to the fans, but it does accurately represent what the book looks like to the rest of us. The fans get upset about inaccuracies, but these are all just details. The essence of the Jane Eyre story is captured in this movie. An unhappy single woman falls in love with a rude cranky older guy. Turns out the guy is married, but it works out. There is beautiful scenery involved and a big house. Some spooky scenes.

The rest of the movie was bland, boring, and frankly, unbelievable. I mean, what mother can afford to take a child out on a twilight horse ride on a moments notice? And where, pray tell, is this fantastic New York suburb Sarandon lived in that afforded her pastoral views of mountains and woods? Did anyone miss the fact the Roberts worked in NYC and was mysteriously able to pick-up the stepkids at their birthday parties and schools in this lush suburb? Sorry, I grew up in that area of the East Coast and I'm still guessing where this suburb is.


4778	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Great film, unless you need gag humor and explosions to entertain you. Might be my all time favorite movie.
  We all enjoyed the first film&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Resident-Evil-Deluxe-Edition/dp/B0002J4X1Q/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Resident Evil (Deluxe Edition)</a>&nbsp;(2002) that was inspired by the "Resident Evil" video game series. The movie became such a hit in the movie theaters and in the movie rental shops, they quickly made plans for a movie sequel, Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004).
The movie is not without flaws. First, there is a critical scene where Tom confesses to Lowenstein (as Tom calls her) what exactly happened in his childhood that none of the Wingos have been willing or able to share with anyone else.  Because of Streisand's effective juxtaposition of the long-ago violent crime with the present-day therapy session and Nolte's superb work, this is an especially powerful sequence. It feels climactic in nature given the depth of the catharsis we have been presented at that point, but the problem is that it comes about 45 minutes before the end of the movie. It is around this point that the story shifts to an inevitable affair between Tom and Lowenstein following a tense, pretentious dinner party with Jeroen Krabbe holding court as her psychologically abusive husband, a world renowned violinist out to humiliate Tom. Consequently, we are given a flagrant detour into Lowenstein's own catharsis, which brings up valid questions about her character's professionalism in even having an intimate relationship with a patient. This part of the story is Streisand at her most self-indulgent as both director and actor, as we follow these two smitten people on gauzy romantic walks and sweaty lovemaking by candlelight. Luckily the film recovers toward the end before any serious damage is done. Special mention should be made of the beautiful cinematography by Stephen Goldblatt, who perfectly captures the burnished aura of the lowlands of South Carolina, and the symphonic, often swooning score by James Newton-Howard. It's an impressive accomplishment to translate Conroy's lengthy, often florid narrative into a cohesive movie that retains the major themes of its source material, and Streisand has done a splendid job in pulling it all together.
7430	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Very good casting.  Very good screenplay.

321	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Love this movie like to watch it and learn from it.
I  may be mistaken, but there seemed to be some deleted scenes too.  The trial  seemed shorter in the International version, which makes sense considering  Americans love of the TV trial a la O.J. Simpson; they would have made it  longer.  I also think the lines where Joan screams out "Jesus!" were  deleted which I didn't care for because it was reported that she did scream  out his name.  The final burning scene seemed rather abrupt. I could have  sworn they had a scene where they brought her out, tied her down, and read  the charges before burning her.  I'd definitely buy this DVD if you like  the movie.  It would have been nice to get both versions of the film on  this DVD much like they did for the Abyss. If you are interested in  learning more about her, "Joan of Arc: Her Story" by Regine Pernoud is an  excellent book as well.

Quest for the Holy Grail Locations (480p, 47:00) Special Documentary
No other "UFO" movie with the exception of "Contact" has ever come close to the majesty of this movie. I am looking forward to showing this movie to my kids and my sister's kids when they are old enough. I think everyone needs to see this movie!
The casting in a problem. Ralph Fiennes tries hard but is hideously miscast. He's too young, too contemporary looking, to portray a rock-ribbed conservative like John Steed. Uma Thurman, though I respect her as an actress, was similarly a poor choice to play Emma Peel. From watching Uma Thurman in interviews I get a sense of her as an intelligent, thoughtful human being, but she simply can't convincingly portray a high-level genius like Emma Peel. Thurman's Peel is more coquettish than intellectual. When Diana Rigg says she has four doctorates you buy it. When Uma Thurman says the same thing, you can't.

I think the setting of a chaotic city is fascinating and the environments are nicely done. Well, perhaps I should say the environments look like they've been ravaged and destroyed. There were plenty of zombies, lots of broken glass and abandoned vehicles, blood spatters and finally empty streets. The environments are very convincing and deserve 9/10. Perhaps the directors could've used filters in some places to enhance the film and its tension, but perhaps it would've made it more of an Art Movie, which it definitely is not! So that comment is just an aside from me...

The late Graham Chapman plays Arthur, and is perfect in the role.  He is always dignified and noble, even while taking insults from ludicrously-accented Frenchmen.  All the other Pythons have multiple speaking parts - a special highlight for me is Terry Jones as the whining prince.  The Pythons are at their pseudo-intellectual best in this, their first feature film.  My favourite part is Arthur's argument with the peasants making up the anarcho-syndicalist commune ("You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!"), followed closely by the opening scene of the film, where it's revealed that Arthur is not riding a horse but has a servant following him making horse-noises with a coconut ("Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?").

5564	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	After twenty years Fright Night remains one of the best Vampire films of the last couple of decades and still scary.  A perfect film to watch on dark nights.  What makes the movie go is the very believable characters.  Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale) is a typical teenager.  He's a horror movie fan and maybe a bit of a nerd.  When a new neighbor moves in next door Charley becomes convinced he is a vampire.  He tells his friends Amy (Amanda Bearse) and Ed (Stephen Geoffreys) but they think he's nuts.

My main disappointment was that the plot resolution basically cops out and hinges upon the 'ole deux ex machina...however, the predictably happy ending is partially balanced out with the chosen fate of Jude Law's character which was a pretty gutsy move.
Special features are as bad as they were on the DVD release, including a handful of scenes and a brief documentary.  The documentary is rather interesting, although most of the material discussed is common knowledge by now.  Sadly the bonus content didn't get the HD treatment, understandable since the documentary was shot on video and the deleted scenes never made it past dailies.  Oh yeah, watching the deleted scenes is painful, so just skip those ... trust me.
The story begins where the first RE left off. Alice is awakening in an Umbrella hospital and realizes the world is not what she knew. Things are...well they're sh*t Most people are either dead or undead, and the police are trying to create an effective resistance against the zombies. Hotshot, loss cannon S.T.A.R.S cop Jill Valentine takes leave of her suspension and walks into the RPD just in time to cap a few zombies. She then reminds everyone in a tone that is up to par with porn star acting "They're infected, you have to shoot them  in the head."
6302	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I have seen this movie more than 10 times. I read the book in college and this is one of few movies that is as good or better than the novel. Streisand is classy and sophisticated yet vulnerable. Nolte is jovial yet complicated. This movie is a classic for those interested in psychology. I also appreciate the contrast of the South and North. Having lived in both I can relate to the paradoxes between the two. Finally, the ending is realistic and not some Hollywood fantasy.
One expedition leader, the late Scott Fischer, comes across as a mellow, disorganized, bumbling dude. One of his expedition guides, the late Anatoli Boukreev, is depicted as a self centered, Neanderthal like he-man, who clearly differs with his boss on what his role as a guide is to be.
6436	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	If you felt the first "Resident Evil" movie didn't quite capture the atmosphere of the original game, you can sleep a little easier now. "Resident Evil: Apocalypse" has EVERYTHING: from dark, creepy graveyards, a gothic cathedral and classic lorries in an "Escape from New York"- style deserted city to a cigarette smoking Jill Valentine and half naked hooker zombies.
Most of the foul language used is less overtly offensive, and especially because much of this language seems to be well established within the English-comedy tradition it is almost fair to say that it's an essential part of making a funny parody of this sort.  Needless to say, if you are uncomfortable with some incidents of foul language, or if you simply don't think such usage is funny, this movie probably is not for you.  This movie also contains one scene with a significant amount of sexual innuendo and here there is even a reference to oral sex.  However, insofar as this scene does not contain any overtly sexual content of a graphic nature, I think it is not so bad as to require Christians to avoid watching the movie altogether.

We liked it so much, and I was so tired of having to return it after maxing out the renewals just to check it out again, that we decided to buy it.  The kids (2 and almost 4 years old) ask for it all the time.  I thought they'd be tired of it after a few months, but it still holds their interest.  The songs are a great compliation of really great Sesame Street production numbers.  We all sing along and, quite frankly, I can't get the songs for the numbers 3, 5, and 10 out of my head. The kids also like the bits with Ernie and Benny (don't call him bunny) between the songs which is usually when the kid's lose interest in this type of DVD.

I was introduced to this one fairly late in my child  hood, but it still holds a special place in my heart right next to Frosty  and Rudolph. This is the one with the evil Burgermeister Meisterburger, who  "HATES TOYS!". I love this character MORE THAN the Grinch! This  one also includes the Winter Warlock and Special Delivery Klugger, as well  as a not so cocky (for a change) Mickey Rooney as Kris Kringle. This film  is a true Holiday classic that keep Christ in Christmas. There are MANY  religious undertones in this film (just look at the Winter Warlock  Character and watch his development from bad to good.) This is yet another  materpiece by Romeo Muller, the GREATEST author who EVER lived! The man  REALLY understood children. Some people say that this film is a bit dated,  but I would have to disagree. I was born in 1980, and missed the 70's and  it never seemed like it was out of place to me (It was 1989 when I first  saw it.) It will fit right in with all of the other Holiday films your  children watch. No Holiday video collection is complete without this Gem.  The songs are GREAT, the plot is EXCELLENT, and the characters are  OUTSTANDING! You can't go wrong with this one! Your children will enjoy it  and you will too, garenteed!
The epitome of all-star comedy that will no doubt continue to stand the test of time. Kudos to Gilliam and the rest of the Python crew. If you haven't seen it yet, make it your first priority in life!
1250	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	This movie had some plusses going for it, primarily the cast.  A lot of money was spent on the production design and special effects, but the film suffers from a misconceived premise.  First of all, it's dealing with a witty, effervescent spy romp -- an iconographical series of the 60's -- but it tries to turn it into a darker, insupportable James Bondian (same production designer).  "Dark" and the Avengers don't really mix.  The whole production is dark, lots of crashing special effects, derring do, conflict between "Father" and "Mother" which is never explained.  The dialogue is hard to understand and captioning is not provided on the streaming version.  A problem.  Other elements in the script are also confusing--the Emma Peel imposter, rationale, etc.  The direction is just leaden and that's fatal to this type of film.

Is the movie racist for depicting Turks as menacing, ugly, brutish thugs?  Maybe so.  Maybe that's the lure of the movie, to suck you in telling you this is a true story and thus letting your moral judgments get go off the hook.  The book on which this book is based shows a different angle on the story (in addition, Billy admits to enjoying sex in prison with men, an element that Oliver Stone excised out completely, later making up for it I suppose by including Jared Leto in his movie ALEXANDER), but while watching MIDNIGHT EXPRESS all you experience is fear.  I'm sure that the success of this movie led to the depressing statistic that only 19 per cent of Americans own or use passports.  The rest of us are too terrified of going overseas and being hung upside down naked in chains and flogged by Turks.
1967 was Diana Rigg's last full season as Steed's partner. Her career really launched in 1965 from this fine series in her role as Mrs. Emma Peel, the sexy and lively partner to the refined secret agent Englishman, John Steed, who was shrewdly played by Patrick Macnee. In fact, in the U.S., most of us didn't even know about Honor Blackman and Macnee's other (earlier) partners until many years later.

How did he come to bring toys to children by going down the chimey and why is his workshop at the North Pole?  What is the origin of Christmas trees and how do reindeer fly?

But the movie is actually quite good. I went to a 12:15am showing in Manhattan and to my surprise it was packed. But my older brother quickly filled me in and told me that "Resident Evil" is one of the most popular games ever, spawning many sequels and remakes. That explained the fanatic geek contingent in the front row. The movie starts off like a video game which is fitting, a back story about the Umbrella Corporation being the largest corporation with most of their products in every home in the world.

Secondly in my personal opinion you must have a passion for the recreation of early to mid 1930's films like Bonnie and Clyde,  The Sting, or The Emperor of the north. I have viewed this film on the average of 4 times a year if not more. The first introdution of this film starts off with an excellent musical score as the credits roll. ( A freight train rolling on into a downtown freight yard With Cheney played by Charles Bronson riding in a box car ) With no prospects or as cheney would put it ( I never look beyond the next bend in the road ) Charles Bronson and James Colburn has played together in two films ... The Great Escape and Hard Times ... Both one of the finest actors America has ever produced. With the films fine detail for authenticity like the old model T fords or the downtown streets of new Orleans on bourbon street. Makes you think that you might really be there in the 1930's with sights of the bayou in the 1930's Louisiana and the 1930's old fairy steam boats on the Mississippi river. The characters that Bronson And Colburn play are very strong and convincing. You can relate to both characters as if they were actually real life personalities. This film leaves you from beginning to end completely satisfied all the way to the musical scores final rolling credits. ... P.S. .. This is a very good Down and out, Skid row, Depression era, Hard on your luck type of film. ... I hope you enjoy !!!

Resident Evil takes place before the events of Resident Evil the game, and explains why the game's mansion is infested with zombies. The story follows Alice (Milla Jovovich), who is a woman that has forgotten her past and must travel with an Umbrella S.W.A.T team to discover who she is. Her path crosses with Matt (Eric Mabius) who is a delegate for a faction that opposes Umbrella, going under cover to discover what is really going on in The Hive. The tale unravels as they move deeper into the complex, and are picked off, one by one, by the ravenous zombies.

Harrison Ford is the president, with a solid military past, whose plane is taken over by Russian reactionary militants.  The concept that the events of this struggle would primarily take place on a jumbo jet adds to the excitement; there's no running away (although it may, at times, seem that there is).

The director, Paul W.S. Anderson, has really outdone himself with this film. It moves and pulses and oozes, and creeps around you. This is greatly helped by the soundtrack recorded by Marco Beltrami and Marilyn Manson. I really liked the Alice in Wonderland references.

The achievement of bio-engineered superiority for some has naturally created a bifurcated society, with the elite gripped by paranoia about inferior "degenerates" trying to pass themselves off, so Vincent's deception requires him to sneak Jerome's urine into sample cups, to wear false fingertips with Jerome's blood for identification pinpricks, even to salt his workstation with Jerome's hair and skin flakes.

In maintaining the foundation of a storyline, the film incorporates a biographical aspect, showing the evolution of Mr. Taylor's role as a dancemaker as an outgrowth of his boyhood years.  The interviews with his long-time friends and associates, as well as the words of Mr. Taylor himself, are proof of the depth and seriousness with which he reveres his art.  The film also touches on the troubling business realities that weigh on dance companies:  having to remain financially solvent, and dealing with the picket lines which materialized in New York after the company hired non-union musicians.  There's even a scene involving the firing of one of his dancers ("I just didn't want to work with her"), a somber sequence of dialogues, but one which lends strength to the reality of this film.
And the music! It has really earned a place in Americana. Who doesn't know the hopeful song "Tomorrow?" The music has become so popular that even Jay-Z sampled "Hard Knock Life." Some of the lesser knowns are amazing as well. "Little Girls" features many clever lines. "Let's Go to the Movies" is very fun and serves as blanket praise for the classic movie era. "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile" is catchy and wonderfully represents old time radio advertisement songs. "Easy Street" is tons of fun thanks to Burnett, Curry, and Peters and their comic performances.

Unlike Spielberg's later (more successful financially but much less so artistically) "ET: The Extraterrestrial," Close Encounters captures the awe and wonder at the confrontation of the unknown and frighteningly unexplored.  While in ET, most of what is presented is childlike and revealed, in CE3K (Close Encounters of the Third Kind), the genius of Spielberg is more fully realized and more rewardingly subtle.  Maybe Steve was just uncorrupted by the Hollywood system, but while I like ET, Close Encounters is presented as a mystery in the most cosmic sense.  A normal American joe encounters the extraordinary.  How will he resolve this?  And what wonders await?

I'm not defending Billy Hayes's actions. What he did was wrong, and yes, he had to be punished. But not punished in such a barbaric way, and then used as a political scapegoat by a very barbaric and repressive Middle Eastern society. Stone's screenplay and Parker's direction in the film was trying to get that message across. And they both succeeded on all those levels. Everyone involved in the British production deserved an award for making such an excellent film. A film based on a true story that shocked many. You may not feel any sympathy toward Hayes' plight in the beginning, but near the end of the film, you will. And, for all the film's dark, gritty, violent, and depressing subject matter, it will make you think and remember.

While not as intense the second time around, "Air Force One" on DVD doesn't disappoint.  There are plenty of points in the movie that left me squirming in my seat.  The movie isn't perfect as a movie: the opening scene is way too violent (and glorified at the same time) and towards the end, where the VP rips up the paper authorizing her to take power (I liked it but most people probably don't think on such a symbolic level), the movie fizzles a bit.

"Joseph" is one of the most fascinating of biblical accounts, and I will not rehash the plot since it is done superbly by other reviewers here.  I will simply say that this timeless true account of a faithful and courageous young man is a wonderful tool to use with teenagers.  Satan has planted so much filth in the movie industry, and I praise God that there are filmmakers who still desire to present the truth.  "Joseph" presents a magnificent story of forgiveness and integrity that all teenagers can learn from.
A spoof on the Kinghts of the Round Table and Camelot (and every other King Arthur story), THG begins to tickle you right off with the whole 'coconuts instead of horses' issue. This running gag is only a small bit of the film, but you remember it. The same goes for every off-center bit, from the powerful wizard named Tim to the logic by which one determines if a witch is made of wood. Thinking man's humour, this is.
For my own part, after reading the  reviews of this movie when in first came out, I went to the website and  watched the movie online before I bought it.  The blatant Star Wars  allusions -- from the asthmatic rival, to the not-so-subtle background  action -- are absolutely hysterical, but I knew that I was missing  something.  That night, I went to the video store and rented SIL just so I  could understand what it had to do with the parody.  I can now say with  absolute assurance that if you're a fan of both films, George Lucas in Love  will probably be the best parody you will ever see!
nobody in the film can really act.  Endless motocycle panoramas
The existential musings of an alienated man juxtaposed with that same man's contempt for the filth and corruption he sees all around him make up the heart and soul of "Taxi Driver".  There are more memorable lines of dialogue in this film that speak of the truths of life than in some entire years' worth of Oscar fare.  "You do a thing and that's what you are".  Simple. Concise. Easy to understand. Irrefutably true. We are each nothing more than the sum of the things we have said and done.  This is the meaning of life and it's in one throwaway line from a film filled with nearly two hours of genius.  The setting of New York is so quintessentially American that this film would not have worked anywhere else.  There is just something so instantly recognizable and identifiable about that city that every man, woman, and child in America feels like they've lived there even if (like me) they have never even been there.  There simply is no other possible place for Travis Bickle to dwell and it is used to full effect in this film.  Also of note is i9n the movie Cybill Shepherd's hotness.  Her character's overreaction to porn speaks of serious issues, but I suppose when you're that gorgeous you can afford to be prudish.

9) The gritty, pounding soundtrack

No other version compares to this one; the cast is outstanding. Quinn is appropriately innocent, but belies intelligence under her curly red hair. Burnett is wonderful as always, playing a personally triumphant part; her parents were both alcoholics. Curry plays a menace truthfully, and yet he's still a bit likable- at least in the beginning. Even Peters' role stands out; she was wonderful during this era. Although musicals tend to be a bit silly sometimes, this one straddles the fine line between fantasy and believability very well. Viewers of any age can find themselves enraptured in every bit of the story.
The title of the film is awkward while the soundtrack by Michael Nyman is ethereal. The cast is superb and the art direction is minimal and clean. I enjoyed it. I was entertained from beginning to end.

4970	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Taxi Driver is by far one of the best drama movies I have in my collection because first off the preformance of Robert De Niro, second the director's and camera man's amazing shots of New York City in the 1970's.  Third the script great one liner's from De Niro, and the famous "you talking to me" speech in front of the mirror.  I have personally watched this movie 4 times during my lifetime so far and never get tired of it.  Plus it was also listed in the 100 best films ever made which I agree with totally because of the reasons I listed in the above lines of my review.  So if you have yet to watch this movie it is a movie you have to watch least once in your lifetime I say watch it mutiple times to fully understand the whole movie and the points it tries to tell us as fans of the style of movie it is and contains.

5612	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I loved watching this movie.  Roddy McDowell was excellent in this fim as Peter Vincent, "Fearless Vampire Killer".  Yeah, right.  If this is what made him so famous on screen, why was he living in a small, cramped, and cluttered one bedroom apartment with a job hosting horror flicks on a show that scraped the bottom of the barrel in ratings??
847	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	We've seen virtually every Sesame Street video - some once, some many times.  This one is one of the most enjoyable.  We owned it for a long time, then my kids outgrew it - or so we thought!  They've asked to see it several times since we gave away our copy, so we keep getting it out of the library.  My kids are 7 and 10 now, and still asking!  We are particularly fond of 'Telly's Lunch' and the skit with Grover.  This is one of the really good Sesame Street videos - definitely worth the $ - only wish we'd kept our copy when we had a chance!  Four stars because nothing is better than Elmo's Sing Along Guessing Game, but this is VERY close.
1. While the FBI has stepped-up responsibilities in this future society, the ACLU seems to have been stamped out.  If discrimination is illegal would a high-profile company be allowed to exist that was made up ENTIRELY of valid executives and in-valid janitors - especially when there are in-valids as smart and ambitious as Vincent?  As the deleted scenes show with a not-included-in-the-film coda: creating a society with only those with perfect genes would have deprived us of John Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln and Albert Einstein.  It's not hard to believe that having perfect people would create discrimination and other undesirable human qualities, but it's difficult to believe that these genetically perfect people would have all their humanity and compassion removed as well.  It's also difficult to believe that this company couldn't recognize that occasionally a "god-child" could be the next Einstein.

He plays the role of President of the U.S., and one that lets the nation know that he will Never negotiate with terrorists.

While the storyline stuck with the games very well, it also was done in a way to entertain anyone who has never played the games. The action starts at the beginning and lasts to the end, leaving you gasping for breath and begging for more.  Some scenes actually had the audience applauding at their conclusions.

The film tries to recapture the odd flavor of the series (the Connery board meeting in which all the participants are dressed as teddy bears, for example), but falls flat every time. Finnes is miscast as John Steed (too young) and he and Thurman have none of the chemistry that Diana Rigg and Patrick Macnee had in the original series.

Wyatt (Peter Fonda) and Billy (Dennis Hopper) star as two bikers who are riding across America on their choppers. We see them buying and selling drugs, and meeting up with other like-minded people.

7838	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I think FISHER KING may be the late Robin Williams's best performance on-screen -- which, as everyone knows, says a lot. Williams, when called upon, could be relied on to give a kick-ass dramatic performance -- as he does in the American remake of INSOMNIA, as he does in ONE HOUR PHOTO, and as he does here. From the mind of film genius Terry Gilliam (Monty Python, Brazil, Baron Munchausen, etc.) comes this tale of two men helping each other find the way out of crippling grief. At times funny, but often with the surreal images that made BRAZIL such a masterwork, this is one of the best portraits of the psyche of fear and grief that you're ever likely to see. And one of the most beautifully-shot films. And then there's Jeff Bridges! These two genius actors spark each other on and on.

965	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Great expectations is a fine novel and is easier to get into than some of Dicken's longer tomes. This adaption is a fine one, which makes me recall the other fine BBC adaption of Bleak House in 2008(?). Both adaptions avoid sentimentality and are complemented by fine low key background music. I was particularly taken by the beauty of the marsh scenes. My one reservation was that perhaps Rampling is too fine a woman to be playing Havisham. Pip was done excellently as was stella and I was very much taken with the characther playing Joe. A fine adaption - well done BBC!
The goal of Inchoatus is to elevate the genre. We're founded precisely to encourage people to avoid films precisely like this. There are actually some decent films out there that feature blood, nudity, and fighting. Conan the Barbarian is an excellent example. The Event Horizon is another. Even Underworld had some merit to it. The anim film Ghost in a Shell is a tremendous film. As the core audience for all things speculative fiction, we don't have to automatically succumb to this kind of stuff just because they market it. If we can just muster the strength to show a little resistance to this kind of schlock, producers will be forced to provide something better. Is there a better reason to avoid seeing this film? We think not.
He finds the pure Sir Galahad... the daring and brave Sir Lancelot...  As the movie opens, you hear the distant clapping of horses hooves, only to realize that what you are indeed hearing is only  a servant, banging coconuts together to pretend... and you know you are in for an ever ending sequence of rather funny and definitely silly recreations of history... where famous characters spend their days and nights overcoming obstacles in search of the Holy Grail.

I won't kid you, this movie is drama.  Its fairly slow paced but in a deep way that you can keep up with. The Acting by Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, Jude Law, Loren Dean, and Gore Vidal are impressive and first rate.
An LAPD unit gets a high powered "military style" helicopter that is deemed for "crowd control". Roy Scheider (Jaws I, Jaws II, Marathon Man) and Malcolm McDowell (The Time Machine, 1979) star as former military veterans that clash in ideals on it's use on a civilian population. Scheider and his sidekick, lymongood, take to the skies with it more than once and find out just exactly what it is capable of. In doing so, they uncover some secret plot for it's use. It's a race against time for them as they try and uncover the plot with the help of a friend, played by actress Candy Clark (American Graffiti). The ending is a showdown against Scheider and McDowell over the skies of Downtown Los Angeles in the early 1980s.
1528	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Some are in Black and White and some in color. It often stalls. I guess the DVD version has some compatibility problems. The sitcom itself is SLOW. I do think I would have enjoyed it - not in a memorable way - but for the day if there hadn't been so many technology problems. I should have and may still send them back as they are basically unviewable unless you have the patience of Job.


Roddy McDowall plays Peter Vincent extraordinarily well - first as an actor out to (wink-wink) "convince" Charley that Jerry Dandridge is NOT a vampire, and then genuinely terrified when he discovers evidence that Charley's suspicions are true.
The acting all around is atrocious. Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman have absolutely no chemistry whatsoever. Ralph is stoic and just looks bored. Uma goes through the movie in a variety of tight outfits (including the previously mentioned leather body suit), but her efforts at a believable british accent are laughable. She tries her best but it is very evident that she was not comfortable with her role and the script in any way. The rest of the cast just seems embarassed to be in this movie.

210	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This timeless story is relevant to today's economic times. This movie is as valuable as any modern-day teachings I've read within the context of "how to be a better person, live well, and do it right in the new year". There are old fashion morals that America would do well in revisiting. Kids and young adults alike will find a new perspective on everyday life challenges. Everyone will gain a better attitude after viewing this one.
The reality is, the games are extremely well executed, as are George A Romero films (G.A.R being the original guy who was to direct this.)
The features on this DVD are up to the high standards of Monty Python.  Although the film has not been noticably restored, when you get right down to it you don't watch Monty Python for the speical effects.  There are subtitles in several languages, including a set for people who don't like the movie (the subtitles in that case are taken from Henry IV, Part II, though they are out of sequence to go along with the action on screen).  They have redone parts of the film in Lego.  They have a sing-along.  They have an instructional film on how to use coconuts.  In other words, there are a lot of unique to bizarre features that will keep you entertained for hours.
I'll bet this movie was great back in the days of hippies and woodstock, but now it just comes off flat. It does give some insight into that time period, but there are many other better films that can do the same thing and tell you a story at the same time.
1608	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	I watched the sequel first, which was so good it prompted me to watch the original series. I'm 3 episodes into season 1, and don't think I can slog my way through any more of it. The acting is horrendously hammy, and the story lines are foolish and juvenile. Unlike the recent Upstairs Downstairs, it's unrealistic (in one scene, one of the actresses was changing out of her clothes and you could see she was wearing bikini underwear under her white bloomers), and showed little of what the world was actually like in that era. The house it's set in is dull, and alll of the characters are over exaggerated, annoying, and unlikeable. Basically, it's just a bad 1970's Soap Opera.

Simultaneous to the achievement of the Grail is Jack's rescuing of his shadow Perry (through his final, willing ego sacrifice) and his readiness to unite on an equal level with his beloved anima Anne.  Truly the Grail represents the achievement of the individuated personality, one that has reconciled ego to shadow to anima all while developing a successful interface (persona) with society that allows the individual to be both successful and moral.  These truths, as elucidated by C.G. Jung, underlie what most draws us to stories and speak to our deepest spiritual needs.  The Fisher King provides a concise outline of this complex process just as clear as the first Star Wars movie presented us with a concise example of Joseph Campbell's hero's journey.  With the obvious mythological references found in most of the content of his other works, this movie must represent an ideal match of story form and content to Gilliam's personal interests.  And could it be (as with Stephen King and his literal monsters that end up detracting from the story) that when Gilliam makes a movie about a basically non-(literally)mythical-magical world, his tendency to overdue his scenes with fantasical, but finally, distracting wonderment is suitably restrained?
Put like this, it all seems cerebral, but don't missunderstand me: the film is very entertaining! If the story/screenplay design is (in this case) simple, it is because film is not for the cinemateque. It is pure (and good!) fun. It has a lot of rhythm, the cast is appealing, the characters are fine (in their game-like dimension) and the action makes you jump.
Plenty of laughs+lots of tears=one great film.
One thing nice about the film is that it is 90 minutes long. I am quite often too short on free time to watch a movie but 90 minutes works out real well.

Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifune is absolutely terrific in this movie. Their chemistry is as perfect as the story is tense and an absolutely hilarious esp during the scenes when they try to out do each other in their "turf fight". I crack up everytime each one of them mess up their  own dirty little wicked plan in the most humourous fashion.
This special had the best voice casting of any they made, with Mickey Rooney as the older Santa, Paul Frees as Burgermeister, and Keenan Wynn as the Winter Warlock. The Mailmans voice and songs were by the great Fred Astaire, and they recreated him perfectly in a mailman figure. There are 6 wonderful songs including the title song, as well as "One Foot in Front of the Other". The Westminster Childrens Choir performs as well. Music and lyrics were by Maury Laws and Jules Bass. Writing by the great Romeo Muller who worked on so many of their projects. Character design by Paul Coker, and storyboards and continuity by Don Duga as they did on most of the studios specials.
The proof that this is true is when Anton, the genetically superior brother, yet loses swimming matches with his brother.  His brother has the will and the drive.

I rate my movies in the following manner: Believeability of the script and acting. Interesting subject matter. And how well each acter is introduced in a way we know the nature of the character. In many movies, I require at least one good nude scene of the female character to add to the introduction.(Of course this is not the case in all the movies I like) However it is always a plus point.

 Any way, good flick, and it rings with an historical authenticity that is almost unequaled.  Its great contribution is that it was made at the peak of the era, and commented on that era very eloquently.  Usually the good commentary doesn't come along for many years, but Easy Rider pretty much hits the nail on the head.  Plus the bikes are great.

The film was received positively by critics and a success in the box office as it brought in over $315 million worldwide.  "AIR FORCE ONE" even received attention from President Bill Clinton who enjoyed the film and watched it twice.  The film would go on to receive two Academy Award nominations for "Best Film Editing" and "Best Sound".
Overall impression: a pleasant and well acted movie that was a joy to watch that I highly recommend for those who need to reinforce their knowledge of the Bible and appreciate a well-done movie based on it.
This leads to a great elevator scene with Bridges and Jeter, who's all decked out like a showgirl. He warms up to sing for mousey Plummer at the office where she works by hitting these impossibly squeaky high notes, which annoys Bridges, who tells Jeter to stop. Instead, he responds with a line and some behavior that is so funny, you just may continue laughing through the rest of the scene.

I gave it 4 stars because I wanted a game controller. No I didn't, believed that didn't you? The reason I left one star of is because the movie is shorter than what it could be, even though it doesn't appear that way when watching it. All thing's being equal, well that's a crock line, but who cares, ya? If you're a horror fanatic, or like the occasional, twisted and demented scare, this one's a good choice. <P...

1484	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	I thought this would be the movie that didn't cut out some much of the book when Jane leaves Mr. Rochester. It barely shows the time she spent away from him and her growth as a woman.  I might try the BBC version because it looks longer and might actually include more from the book.
2400	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Like most other Spice Girls fans of the time, I saw this at the movies. I was only 11. I'm 16 now, and I still like to watch this film from time to time. I still have a laugh at some of the scenes, and I've seen it so many times I can recite the lines along with the girls!
Then there is the spinoff series, "Thomas and Sarah", featuring the ever-scheming, never-succeeding former chauffeur and maid of the Bellamy household, which I consider more of a curiosity than a drama as compelling as "Up Down" itself.  Still it is a welcome inclusion for dedicated fans.
Scorsesee in his commentary states that the ending of Taxi Driver is a portrayal of the anti-hero becoming the hero, only to be cocked and ready to be triggered again into another "episode." I think that the ending is merely Travis' psychotic fantasy dream as he is dying.  Real life does not operate the way Travis dreams it must operate.  As in the movie "All That Jazz" the main character's death is all choreographed in his own mind.
The script abounds in zinging one-liners ("If you can't say something nice, come sit by me!") and often hilarious situations (imagine Olympia Dukakis surrounded by naked men in the highschool football team's locker room); it also contains some very touching segments sure to choke up all but the most heartless viewer. And although the story is extremely manipulative and rather predictable, those factors don't actually get in the way of its effectiveness.  While probably not a "great film" by any serious standard, it is tremendously good-natured, well-intended, and extremely entertaining, and most people will find that it lingers pleasantly in mind and holds up well under repeated viewings.
MacLaine and Roberts were later nominated for an Academy Award as best actress in a supporting role; a split vote probably cost both an Oscar. My own opinion is that Field, Dukakis, and Hannah were equally deserving of that nomination. In terms of plot, not a great deal happens. The film's energy is established and then sustained by the interactions between and among the five older women. Keep in mind that this was originally a play whose plot focused almost entirely on the shared experiences of those women. Some of the scenes are hilarious, with MacLaine and Dukakis primarily responsible. However, the film also includes one extended situation which has a genuinely sad conclusion. (It would be a disservice to those who have not as yet seen the film to say any more about that.) I think the acting is first-rate throughout. Most of this film is highly entertaining but whenever necessary and appropriate, Ross examines serious issues with great skill. Two points need to be reiterated: Steel Magnolias can and will appeal to men as well as to women, and, it is more enjoyable each time it is seen again. Those who share my high regard for it are urged to check out Fried Green Tomatoes (1991).

It starts off well enough. The time is Halloween. What other time is there? Young Anton's parents retire to bed. After the lights go out, they see an ominous message written on the ceiling. All hell breaks loose, and this sequence unspools like a twisted situation comedy. The next morning, Anton [Devon Sewa] wakes up, oblivious to the fact that his parents have gone missing. But then the teenager is oblivious to almost everything except drugs, sex and rock and roll, as are his two best friends, Mick and Pnub [Seth Green and Elden Ratliff]. As the day progress, it becomes apparent that one of Anton's hands has taken on a mind of its own. It has become homicidal. Most of the funniest moments in the movie show the boy and his deranged hand fighting for control. Devon Sewa, like Jim Carrey, is a very physical actor.

This is an unusually thoughtful Sci-Fi film which asks all of the usual, who are we, where are we going type questions about human existence and forces an examination of the current preoccupation with genetic engineering, celebrity, `extreme makeover' shows and the type of air-headed celeb mags such as Hello that push the air-brushed perfection to which we are all supposed to aspire. But it's also a masterpiece of film making with superb art direction, the welcome presence of such Hollywood veterans as Alan Arkin and Ernest Borgnine, an intelligent script by director Andrew Niccol and a hauntingly beautiful Michael Nyman score. As such it ranks alongside Blade Runner as an entry into the pantheon of late twentieth century masterworks of Sci-Fi film.
942	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	This was not a box office hit when it was first released; most critics hated it.  Time has not tempered its many flaws.  The humor is broad and at times overbearing, abrasive.  The lead character is a nitwit, obnoxiously stupid.  Oddly enough, this is the only character played for laughs, the rest are deadly serious in their intent (none more so than Oliver Reed as the villain, one of the few bright spots in an otherwise dreary enterprise).  The effect is quite jarring, as though they forgot to inform Michael Crawford that they had changed their minds, the piece was now a gritty spy thriller.  Unfortunately, it's never as funny as it should have been, and not serious enough to work on any other level.
The aerial photography in this film was incredible! It had aerial chases galore as well as good old fashioned ground car chases. This makes the film unique for the time period. The fact that there was little computer generated imagery (F-16's Notwithstanding) in the film appealed to me. It is ironic that the technology depicted in this film is now available to us all at the consumer level! In the 1980s it was all cutting edge. Today it is par for the course gear that we all take for granted.

This movie outdoes the original and many others of it's ilk, in various ways. Alice is back and this time we actually get to see Jill "Master of unlocking" Valentine. the actress who portrays the videogame based character bears an amazing spitting image. but unfortunetly lacks a bit of depth during the movie. One of the biggest surprises is Mike Epps, who provided comedy relief and not to mention Nemesis; the "Terminator' of the RE franchise,and a real BADASS at that.
On a purely quote-by-quote basis, this beats out This Is Spinal Tap, The Life Of Brian, A Fish Called Wanda, Army Of Darkness, Blazing Saddles, and Young Frankenstein. COMBINED. The opening credits sequence alone has more jokes crammed in it than an entire hour of Saturday Night Live (and that's pre-1996 SNL, mind you). The timing is brilliant, the total lack of a budget works in the film's favor ("ou've got two empty 'alves of coconuts and you're banging 'em together!"), the performances are ace, etc. etc. etc. ("GET ON WITH IT!!").

CE3K was one of the original 'box office blockbusters;' following Jaws, Spielberg, 'did it again;' in other words *alot* of people liked it. This is the only dimension of added 'realism' that has ever meant anything to me; Hynek cameo included, I have never met anyone who thought it was a documentary.  Looking for evidence of friendly and intelligent life in the universe?  A Lily Tomlin joke aside, look no further; even if the 1950s left you wondering, they are actually making movies now, they are even sitting in theaters, right next to you.
So eventually they wind up on the tropical island for some stupid trivia thing with the worst hosts ever, for CREEP FACTOR we have to have the hotel staff be antisocial and intrusive, the maid for example ignores white virgin, "oooooh, how creepy, she doesn't respond" F*** you that's stupid. Then they meet the hotel owner who glares at them and basically makes them feel as unwelcome as possible, even though his business seems to be going into the crapper. Then they meet Jack Black playing himself, and the guy seems friendly enough, basically offering the guests some marijuana if they need some, then Tiesha is all like 'get away from me you smelly hippie', there goes what little amount of empathy I had for these characters.

Notably, this collection does not include Brook's directorial debut, "The Producers", for which he also won an Academy Award for the screeplay. It also doesn't have "Spaceballs" (1987) and "Life Sucks" (1993), which are no big loss to me. Finally, the last film Brooks directed, "Dracula: Dead and Loving it" (1995), is not included.

Her constant compulsion to confess her sins, and her visions of God, seemed realistic. For a late-teen, female, during the Hundred Years War, to have convinced the King of France to give her command of an army, Joan Of Arc must have been as eccentric as Milla Jovovich presented her. Jovovich, and her surrounding cast, did a good job.

3720	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	My childhood movie!

I suppose as the weeks turn into months and the months turn into years, it's somewhat normal for a mother (and father) to move on by removing pictures of their child and pretending the child was never in their lives (or that the child was in their lives at one point, but recognize they are now a distant memory).  Then again... I've never been in such a situation (kidnapped son or daughter) so I can't say I would have responded the same way.  Given how I usually keep pictures on the living room hutch and never take them down, I suppose I'd have kept the pictures if he were my child.  I wasn't sure if Michelle's character was throwing away pictures of her son in the trashcan or, since she was a photographer, throwing away pictures of the things she used to find meaningful (since she's now depressed and her perception has faded).  This is where it gets confusing- Michelle's character was secluded and depressed... I think.  I'm not 100% sure she was.  Her character felt off some of the time so her behavior was hard to understand.
Every element--acting, directing, writing, music, cinematography--is pitch-perfect. The music, in particular, is fabulous. Folk, cajun/zydecoe, dixieland, an extraordinary black gospel sequence. The location shooting, too: riverside warehouse, industrial interiors, barges and ferries, bayou community life, flop house, oyster house, Latin Quarter. Period street scenes, gorgeous automobiles, prohibition night life. You can practically smell the booze, sweat,  shellfish and tobacco smoke.

I am very careful to buy the movies that give the true meaning of what the Bible says and not some superficial storyline that goes is not accurate with the Bible.  This movie is great and a must have if you enjoy biblical movies, true to the Bible.
Frank Sinatra was gracious enough to allow Rita Hayworth to take top billing over him on the marquee in honour of her long-standing relationship with the studio. Despite the fact that she didn't do her own singing (she was dubbed by Jo Ann Greer), her co-star Kim Novak didn't sing either (Kim Novak was dubbed by Trudi Erwin). Of course, the songs were always the best part about Pal Joey and the film version kept ten songs by Rodgers and Hart from the original musical score and added four new ones, also by Rodgers and Hart. The new additions were "My Funny Valentine," "There's a Small Hotel," "I Didn't Know What Time It Was," and "The Lady is a Tramp" which is given the definite treatment by Frank Sinatra with a killer Nelson Riddle arrangement.

There are places in the Special Edition and Director's cut versions that seem NOT to have been put through the Blu-Ray process... for example, in the darker scenes the graininess seems more evident. When Roy Neary is out at those R/R tracks and is lost and has his Encounter of the 2nd kind, there is quite a lot of graininess going on. Also at the beginning in the sandstorm and for other "night" scenes... however, during the rest of the film the picture is really great. So, once again it looks as though the people doing the Blu-Ray transfer AGAIN cut corners and tried to save money by not applying the process to the whole film. - Bottom line, this is a great movie and I think I can overlook the fact it is not perfect and still enjoy all 3 versions. But, the PQ is not pristine nor perfect, just mostly great.

Both Susan Sarandon and Julia  Roberts give tremendous performances in this film about the end of the  beginning of something new. That it might turn out to include everyone  involved, for a while, leads to both a delightful discovery and a poignant  counterpoint to the original breakdown. This is a film in which everyone  concerned is asked to move forward, whatever their ages. It just may be  that we the audience, are also moved forward a tad, at the same time.  Excellent cinema.

Mifune's dialogue is all in Japanese and  not subtitled, so he is as mysterious and threatening to the viewer as he  is to the Marvin character, but we can tell by his actions, self-built  fortifications, and survival schemes that he's a smarter, more disciplined  man than the American. For a time, all the Marvin character can think to do  is pick away at the former's elaborate survival arrangements, and there is  quite a bit of humor in that.
Nonetheless, this Unknowable Essence has created laws of mathematics and sciences that fashion and determine actions in the physical realm, and laws and principles that govern the "Spiritual Realm". One such spiritual law is "Love" which can't be measured and which has an analogue in the physical world called gravitational attraction and particle interactions. It is this force "Love" which allows humans to see past the need to relegate people to various categories based on tribal, racial, color, religious preference, and ethnicity. Other limitations have arisen to join the mix which we need not go into now.

Biohazard 4D-Executer (2000). (Short film).

Sorry if I sound harsh, but don't say I am missing the point.  I know the film is based on a Capcom game, and I know the story is only an excuse for the heroine Alice (Milla Jovovich who returned from the original) who must fight against a lots of zombies, in Racoon City which always looks like Toronto.  I'm not complaining about it.
One could go on and on about what it is that makes Rumpole the person so endearing: his irascibility, his patience with his high-strung, somewhat shrewish wife Hilda--the legendary She Who Must Be Obeyed, and at the same time his scathingly rebellious retorts in response to her demands (always mumbled under his breath, of course), his impatience with the stuffed shirts he must deal with each day (many of whom are justices), his courtroom cunning, his equanimity, his constant mutterings, oaths, and soliloquies, frequently coming up with a few lines of his beloved Wordsworth to suit the particular occasion, his affection for "Chateau de Thames Embankment" (a cheap "plonk" or table wine served at his favorite pub, Pomeroy's, conveniently located near the Old Bailey), his cheap cigars, his rumpled old hat, his dedication to his profession, his affection for the many cheap crooks and artful dodgers he defends, and his absolute and total abhorrence of the guilty plea.

The Avengers TV show was profoundly fortunate in its casting of John Steed and Emma Peel. Patrick Macnee perfectly portrayed the somewhat stuffy, exceedingly proper man of action. The heart of a noble knight in a three-piece suit and bowler hat. But as good as Macnee was, Diana Rigg's casting as Emma Peel was the masterstroke. For Emma Peel to accomplish everything she had in life before ever meeting John Steed, she must have been a high-level genius. Fortunately for the show, in real life Diana Rigg has an IQ that looks like a zip code, as well as immense class, polish, sex appeal, a strong will, and the thespic skills of a successful Shakespearean actress. When Diana Rigg played a high-level genius with multiple doctorates it was believable. I can't imagine anyone else who could have portrayed Emma Peel so well.

It is unclear in the film if the shooting Bickle is involved in serves to normalize his life. He is seen driving a cab and back to work at the end, but one can only guess how stable he really is. Also unclear is whether the script intends to qualify victims, ie- it's OK to shoot child-pimps but a no-no to shoot politicians, and that the difference between being a hero and a kook is the choice of your target. Perhaps as myself you will come away from this realizing how misunderstood many people are and how easily the media and public can misinterperet an event. That said, it is very intense and scary to see how Bickles life descends to a point where he feels he will be immortalized by an action that takes several seconds. The time in which he is moving to shoot Pallandine and the methodical rampage within the trick pad are some of the tensest moments ever put to screen.
6768	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	First of all, I'd like to say that this is a very brainless movie. It plays out like an extended video game cinema, with lots of gunplay, yelling, zombies, and zombie bites. The characters are essentially movable, bendable action figures, complete with clip-on weapons and pre-recorded lines. The only difference is that when they get "broken," they can come back and eat your flesh. I hate it when that happens. The actors include Milla Jovovich (who likes to look intense) and Michelle Rodriguez (who likes to glare at people from behind her eyelashes). They do their best, and manage to create fairly believable characters. On the whole, though, this is mindless action fare that most people will hate.

It is hard for me to put into words how much I loved this movie. I don;t know if it's because everyhting's I wanted to say about it has been said, or becuase I'm too tired to come up with anything good to write. So I will basically rate it like this:
Like any insane woman, caught up in romantic nonsense, Faith takes her best friend, Beth, and sets off to Italy in search of Damon Bradley.  She absolutely must meet him and know if they are destined to be one.  They hop on a plane and travel to Venice, Rome, and down the Italian coast in search of the man.  However, in the meantime Faith meets another man, played by Robert Downey, Jr., who falls head over heels in love with her and believes she is his destiny.
In order to make Take The Money And Run feel even more like a documentary, we get "interviews" with Virgil's parents (who wear Groucho Marx glasses to disguise themselves) and teachers and acquaintances who knew Virgil. The acting is excellent.

Now I say what I thought about the movie. Resident Evil: Apocalypse has made some big changes ever since the first Resident Evil and trust me they are worth seeing. This movie is full of scary parts and humerous moments and great action sequences, that trust me you will never forget. I was a little dissapointed though on how this movie was not as scary and sinister as the first But many people jumped at many various parts of the movie including me. Alot people have been talking about the zombies lately. I would have to say they were not scary...they seemed to be alot weaker as if you could push them over. I took it as kind of a joke and sometimes it makes you wanna take pictures of the zombies then laugh ur arse off later on. But new creatures have emerged and are even more sinister like the "Nemesis" and the "licker".

I've seen THE FISHER KING many times.  Each time I reflect on how much our actions matter.  In a now famous speech, Bobby Kennedy once spoke of sending out a tiny "ripple of hope," of how that ripple would spread and grow.  THE FISHER KING warns us that negative energy acts the same way, spreading, growing.
For horror, the movie isn't scary.  Too much of it is ruined by building up too much suspesne.  It comes off as more of a "OK, let's take bets.  Who is going to die next?"
SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN(SCICTT) is in my top five Rankin/Bass specials. Right along with RUDOLPH, FROSTY and The Year WITHOUT SANTA CLAUS. I enjoy the 1970's feel this classic has. The flowers that appear when Jessica sings, the simple toys the kids play with and the songs that are sung throughout this show. I can only imagine what a modern version of this show would sound like with its boy band sounding songs and electric toys and video games. Instead of watching Kris and Jessica court each other and wed we would probably see them live together while they consider marriage.
Both movies have good action scenes where you'll be like:" wow! That was cool!!" but the 2nd one is better with better action and more memorable stuff. I recommend them as rents to everyone and buys for absolute die hard funs. You'll just have a good time watching them.

As for audio, the film is presented in English, French and Portuguese Dolby TrueHD 5.1.  Also in Spanish 5.1 Dolby Digital and the original English mono soundtrack.  For the most part, the film is front and center channel driven and during my first viewing, but that impressive soundtrack that this film is known for is nice and clear, dialogue is nice and clear and the revving of the motorcycles is nice and clear.  The film is dialogue and music driven and there is surround channel usage during the trippy drug-induced parts of the film when you hear voice all around you but also during that brief and tragic action sequence at the end of the film.  But the music...from hearing that bass guitar and percussion in union on "If 6 was 9' from The Jimi Hendrix Experience to that electric guitar and well known vocals of Steppenwolf of "Born to Be Wild" with the men on their bikes, that's classic but to hear it on DolbyTrue HD is awesome!
5016	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	"Bottle Rocket (1996), the first feature by Wes Anderson has become a cult favorite, and made the names of Anderson and Wilson's (three brothers, Owen, Luke, and Andrew acted in the picture, and Owen, the self-proclaimed troublemaker co-wrote the script with Anderson) popular, and their fans waiting for more. BR is an offbeat crime/comedy about three friends, Dignan (Owen), Anthony (Luke), and Bob (Robert Musgrave) who tried to pursue the career of the professional criminals. If ever three screw-up characters were less suited for becoming tough guys, thieves or bank robbers, I am yet to see them on the screen. Of all three, Dignan takes the cake - his brazenness, ineptitude, clumsiness and lack of any sense of reality in the combination with the true belief that he was born to become a "made man" (or something like that) and that the local "godfather" Mr. Henry (James Caan in a very funny cameo) would take him and his friends seriously are absolutely adorable. Andrew Wilson, the oldest of three brothers has a small role as Bob's obnoxious older brother. I personally don't think that "Bottle Rocket" is a masterpiece and the best movie of that year but it certainly has got some very funny moments, especially in the beginning (Dignan helps Anthony to run from a mental hospital and soon they pull a job of robbing the local book store; Dignan interviews Bob for a position of a runaway driver) and in the end when three friends are sent by Mr. Henry to the biggest (and the most hilarious) heist that would be the apotheosis of their careers. Owen Wilson's Dignan is a reason enough to see the movie - so hilariously deadly serious about his absurd plans, schemes, and ideas he is.
All said, though, this is a really great way to get your sci-fi/Resident Evil fix. (The opening sequences are filmed to delicious perfection with a thick coating of tension, a dusting of old school "Alien" and an undercurrent of flat out horror.)

As to the Blu-ray edition: the colors are quite nice but since most of the movie plays out at night, there isn't as much opportunity for the color to truly shine (compare that to, for example, the Blu-ray for the 50th anniversary of "Lawrence of Arabia", which I also recently bought here). As to the bonus materials, there is so much of them that it's almost overwhelming. I enjoyed sampling them. The "Making of Documentary" is my favorite of the bunch, but there are many, many others. It also includes 12 supersize postcards with stills from the movie. Not really sure what to do with them once you've looked at them once. But bottom line is that "Taxi Driver" remains an outstanding, if divisive/controversial, movie but with the passage of time I can only see the legacy of this movie grow in stature. If you are a movie buff, this is a "can't miss". HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Actually, I could do without the hotel showdown, as it comes off too cartooney and contrived (like when one of the villains barges right through a wall with his rifle -- Why sure!), but I suppose it can be accepted on the grounds of Western-like artistic license.

The reason I'm particularly fond of this one is its references to classic movies, including Hamlet, in a fab b&w scene where Arnold as a grungy machine gun packing Dane says, "To be or not to be" and lights a bomb off his stogie. He tosses the TNT. Big explosion behind him and then a drolly given, "Not to be" ends the sequence.
Wow. what a story. This movie tells us everything about the GRATITUDE of the human kind. A lesson to all.
  The writer of the remake claims that horror movie hosts don't exist anymore.  Not only is this not true but there are more horror movie hosts on TV AND Internet today than there ever were on TV in 1985.  Elvira's Movie Macabre, Mystery science theater 3000, Nostalgia Critic, just to name a few...  I think they made a huge mistake in changing Peter Vincent to a nearly unrecognizable stage magician in the remake.  If anything the movie host is more relatable now than ever before.

This was not a cheap movie. Many effects, including Spielberg's trademark use of  &#8220;cloud tank&#8221; skies were perfected for this film. Not everything worked the first or fourth time they tried it. Columbia ran low on money while Spielberg was polishing off the second edit, replete with footage added. I argue that he just did not want to stop touching his movie until he was forced to. My proof is that there are currently three versions of this film, two of which have additional footage that was added by Spielberg after BOTH 1st and second unit were wrapped up.

6264	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Video games have been entertaining kids, teenagers, and adults consistently for about the last 25 years.  From Pong to Madden, Pac-Man to Tomb Raider, there is not a single doubt in anyone's mind that though most games have been created for entertainment purposes only, and that the graphics have significantly improved through every generation of gaming.  There are some games that standout from the rest in terms of almost movie quality experience within the game, from intense stories, stunningly realistic graphics, and for the most part solid voice acting, many of today's video game franchises have felt like they are movies that players have full control over.  Such franchises are extremely successful, some examples would be; `Silent Hill 1-4', all of the `Tomb Raider' games, and the controversial `Grand Theft Auto' franchise.  One of the most popular video games with that cinematic quality would have to be the `Resident Evil' series.  With its eerie and creepy storyline and music, dark and dangerous environments that are loaded with evil zombies waiting to kill you, and the great voice-over actors used to bring your favorite characters to life, it is clear why this franchise is one of the strongest franchises to this day, even after having 3 sequels and a prequel game released in the series.  Many of these video game franchises have been so successful that even Hollywood has begun to take notice, recent Hollywood movies based on video game franchises have been pretty much hit-and-miss in terms of loyalty to the source material and interest from the general movie-going public.  The failures would have to be "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within", "Alone In the Dark", "Mortal Kombat", and "Bloodrayne", the successes have basically been between two franchises the `Tomb Raider' franchise starring Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft in "Tomb Raider" and "Tomb Raider:  The Cradle of Life", and the Milla Jovovich thrillers "Resident Evil" and "Resident Evil:  Apocalypse".  It just so happens that this review is for "Resident Evil", look for future reviews to feature my opinions on both the good and bad adaptations.

Even with a book,  and it is a particularly nice one much better than I expected, this takes up less space than this many traditionally packaged DVDs would so that complaint doesn't seem fair. The worry that many have about scratched DVDs due to their placement in sleeves is also a non-issue for me. NONE of the DVDs were scratched and I'm not clumsy enough to damage them removing them .  I also don't watch the same movie day after day after day so these things are  not going to be taken in and out over and over...but you'd really have to try and damage them.
We then meet Sean Connery who carries some charm and is obviously very intelligent. But he shows his dark side as well. Moving on, we see that Connery's plan is to control the world with his weather controlling device. (Alright. A bit cliche. But this is a 60s recreation, so a bit of the cliche was probably inevitable.) Also worth mentioning is that all the nations of the government are fighting and bickering at the crucial moment and accomplishing nothing. Sean Connery walks in and announces his intentions to control the world. And of course they continue to argue and bicker uselessly. There is something utterly hilarious about how Sean Connery silences the politicians very simply: "Oh...DO SHUT UP!"

5201	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Few will disagree with me when I say that Scorsese's Taxi Driver is one of the greatest films ever made. This one helped define the 70s and changed the face of American cinema. Scorsese's directing is brilliant. DeNiro has never been better, nor has Cybill Shepard (except in The Last Picture Show). This is one of Harvey Keitel's finest performances, and Jodi Foster has her best role here. The acting is superb. The cinematography was groundbreaking with the camera moves Scorsese made. Superb editing. And while Bernard Herrmann's score is dated (definitely from the 70s), it is a classic and fits this film in a way no other music ever could. Add that to the fact that Herrmann died just after finishing recording for this film. What a way to end your career. This film is superb in every way.




1334	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	I loved the original Avengers series. It was a near flawless program; at least until Diana Rigg left.  This film bore little resemblance to that wonderful show. The original Avengers never shied away from the occasional flagrant pun or creating wonderful, almost comic book quality characters.  However, in this film, the plot meanders. Ralph Fiennes has no comic ability, and the lovely and talented Uma Thurman pretty much sleepwalks through movie. These is no trace of the quirky style that made the Avengers so special. To those of us who have seen the TV series, it comes as little surprise that several of the original program's directors went on to success in the big screen . I doubt that anyone associated with this film will find that it leads to more career opportunities. The chemistry between Diana Rigg and Patrick Macnee was always a delight to watch. Sadly in the film, Fienes looks uncomfortable, and Thurman looks bored.

The film is not, however, without narrative issues.  One is that, although we do see Vincent reading up on space travel over time as he grows up, the idea that he steps into a position at the aeronautics company fully prepared to perform his work there, with no previous experience, is a bit far-fetched.  But an even greater issue in this otherwise well-crafted story, is that it never addreseses why Vincent's obvious intelligence doesn't register on his DNA profile, along with his bad heart and weak eyes.  Given the abstruse work Vincent later performs as "Jerome Morrow", it is not plausible that his intellectual abilities do not also appear in his DNA profile.  Equally implausible is a world obsessed only with physical perfection, but indifferent to intellecutal perfection.  Perhaps the story's creators wanted to sidestep the sticky issue of the role genetics play in intelligence, or do not accept that role; or, perhaps they viewed acknowledging such a role in intelligence as part of the problem the film explores: genetic (read: ethnic/racial) pigeonholing.  Regardless, the omission is glaring, and begs questions that the film fails to answer.

The special effects are remarkable for the time especially at the end.  Actually much of this movie does not have major special effects until its end where the fantastic effects easily stand up to those of today.  This brings up another point: this is an intelligent sci-fi movie where the special effects have a purpose and are not simply used for display.
Andrew C. Miller  Your Ultimate No. 1 Film Fan
Rather than the contemporary pack-o-vampires motif so prevalent today (see "TEETH", by yours truly, if you don't mind another gratuitous plug), FRIGHT NIGHT comes back to the single domestic vampire with a servant or two, a motif established by Bram Stoker and, more recently, revisited by Stephen King. So, what you have, basically, is a classic tale in modern dressings, decent special effects, and pretty good acting all around. The standout in this movie is Roddy McDowell, who plays Peter Vincent, the vampire killer. Somewhere out there, Buffy's got to be giving this man his props (or at least laying roses and garlic on his grave).
6362	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I, unlike a lot of people, found this to be a very enjoyable movie. The thing I think few people take into consideration is the fact that Alexander Witt probably didn't set out to break new ground, all this film does is build on what we were left with in Resident Evil. The special effects are tremendous, a lot more detailed than the first one. The acting in a few scenes is a bit shallow but this is an action movie, of course it's not going to have great acting throughout the duration of the film. The exception to that statement is Sienna Guillory who plays the gorgeous Jill Valentine. I can't think of a single person who could play Jill as well as she did. She seems to have settled into the role with ease. And we can't forget the amazingly talented Milla Jovovich reprising her role as Alice. To watch her fight and shoot is pure exhileration. She also has become so much tougher in this one due to the injections of the T Virus she was given.

Dennis Hopper directed this film and the word is that he was completely stoned out of his mind. I can believe that. There is a scene at the end where the Billy and Wyatt drop some acid and go on a little trip with two hookers in a cemetary. To me it seems pretty easy to shoot an acid trip. Just shoot random stuff, cut it together randomly and voila! You have your scene. Or better yet, give the camera to a monkey. The out of focus shots and frenetic animal jerkiness will only add to the overall aesthetic of the scene. Its ok for the first 20 seconds, but anything longer than that gets monotonous.

TRAVIS NEW YORK, TRAVIS NEW YORK LOCATIONS, plus the original Theatrical trailer in 1080p
For an R-rated movie the violence is blurred and confusing, why even bother with the swearing if that is really all that is keeping it from being a PG-13? It's shot and cut with no skill whatsoever. The plot makes no sense at all and there are frequent gaps in logic that even the most ignorant viewer can point out. Like why do the long-dead people in the graveyard (conveniently buried underneath only a few centimetres of loose dirt) suddenly come back to life when the T-virus is only supposed to be transfered through blood infection? And that was only just one part of a 'plot' that was constant nonsense. And by the end it was so far removed from the (better) story of the video games that the 'Resident Evil' title is really no more than a way of selling nonsense to people who expect and deserve something else.

284	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Henry Winkler is very good in this twist on the classic story. Not a conventional remake, but a version of the story set in early America. Give it a try.

Don't be fooled by its title, this production is far removed from the book (so if you've never read it, and are seeking an authentic adaptation-- look elsewhere)! The only things that the two have in common are the names of its characters, and a few sequence of events! 95% of the dialogue has been re-written (and butchered), and some events added (made up)!
The movie begins in the Hive, an underground research facility, where the employees' day is somewhat ruined when the doors seal themselves and poisonous gas gushes from the walls. So much for them. Cut to: Alice (Jovovich) waking up in a deserted mansion with no memory of who she is or how she got here. Before she has time to get over last night's hangover, all heck breaks loose and she ends up down in the Hive with an eco-warrior (Mabius), a fellow amnesiac (Purefoy) and a bunch of military commandos (Rodriguez, Crewes, Salmon, and some highly expendable extras for added flavor). Their mission is to kill the sentient computer running the hive, but first they have to contend with the dead employees, who are back as hungry zombies, thanks to a nasty genetic virus. Throw in some undead dogs, rounds and rounds of gunfire, a killer computer, security lasers, a heavy metal soundtrack, and "The Licker" (don't even ask), and you've got yourself a gripping action flick.

What makes this film, as one reviewer said, is the humanity. We actually love these guys. Dignan is obtuse, potentially dangerous (mainly to himself), and an adorable little kid.

One of the darkest days in my life was when Ginger left the group. It was devastating for me. She was part of the soul of the group and I blame Scary Spice for messing that up. Also, they dumped their manager who brilliantly guided the group into being one of the top groups in history. Again, Scary is to blame.
 The major flaw of the DVD is that the film is presented in the god-awful Pan and Scan format. Pan and Scan presentations of frenetically-shot widescreen films should be outlawed, it's just that simple. You almost get a headache watching this P&S version. The digital pan is so obtrusive and distracting that it can drive one to anger! It pulls you out of the film, to say the least. I like (but don't really love) this film, and the low price of the DVD makes the purchase a no-brainer. But it is too optically uncomfortable to watch in P&S.
I loved this movie and the special features are well done, too! Great menu design with easy selections!

A genetically inferior man assumes the identity of an enhanced genetically tweaked superior individual in order to pursue his ultimate dream of space travel; by doing this, he has committed the crime of using a borrowed ladder  by using the genetic profile of another person. Gattaca is in many ways is one the best films seen. Just as people have been judged for centuries by the colour of their skin, their class or religious persuasion Gattaca predicts and explores the future where there will be a more subtle discrimination. It being a science fiction film helps make it more effective by allowing us to feel the emotions of the characters with little of our own history getting in the way. A haunting musical score goes well with the feeling of the film, with stunning visual backdrops and the very clear use of tinted lenses makes each scene vibrant eye candy.

Although there is a story to it, that really isn't the point. It mostly explores the values that Steveo holds as he begins to come to terms with himself, and find his niche in the world. The soundtrack complements the tone of the movie, providing some basic punk sound. It was really a highly emotional film for me, there were lighthearted humorous scenes (like the trip to Wyoming, THAT was funny), as well as some dark and even teary parts near the end. The ending was something I enjoyed, seeing Steveo find his place, while not really leaving the punk idea behind.
THE BLU-RAY: Mill Creek gives us a really nice quality transfer. The movie has never looked or sounded better than it does on this Blu-ray, but be advised that this disc has ZERO extra features. If you've got the Special Edition DVD then you'll want to hang onto it for the bonus content. Even without the goodies, this Blu-ray is worth the double-dip for the improved video & audio.

The sitch as this sequel opens is this: a zombie plague has scoured Raccoon City, thanks to the ill dealings of the Umbrella Corporation, the world's largest pharmaceutical agency and just possibly the most diabolical global entity, like, ever. Precautions have been taken. Raccoon City has been entirely sealed off, the sun setting on a population left to fend for itself, probably feed on itself. Throughout the city, measures have been taken to ensure the evacuation of Umbrella Corporation's key personnel. The scientist who invented the T-Virus, for one, gets out safely. But his young daughter doesn't. At sunrise, Raccoon City is scheduled for a tactical nuclear strike. Some really heavy sunscreen is recommended.

I liked everything about this movie.  First and foremost, the acting was superb.  Nick Nolte deservedly won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Motion Picture Drama.  (He should have won the Academy Award for Best Actor as well IMO.)  Nolte's portrayal of the very complex yet down-to-earth and likeable Tom Wingo was nothing short of magnificent.  Don't be surprised if you shed a tear or two after the last flashback scene, when Tom's defenses finally crumble as he lets himself experience the childhood pain he had kept locked up for so long.  Barbra Streisand also delivered a wonderful performance as devoted psychiatrist Dr. Susan Lowenstein.  Strong and self-assured, she has no problem standing up for herself when confronted by Tom's tantrums; sad and vulnerable, she allows the layers of her own insecurities to peel away as she falls in love with him.

Anyway...Faye Dunaway, who had gone from her softer blonde hair to a harsher (though then-popular) auburn by this time, didn't look or act her best here. Her performance was not called in by any means, but seems stiff in comparison to her earlier & somewhat warmer acting work. Opening her eyes widely seems to be her only available demonstration of fear- surprising, because she portrayed that emotion well in the film "The Towering Inferno", just a few years earlier. Her makeup artist for this film should've been fired- Dunaway looked drawn, exhausted & older than her real age even in scenes where she was not under any sort of duress. Still in great physical shape, Dunaway did a terrific job at portraying the very well-to-do & active star photographer that her character was in body, at least.

SO I say hey lets rent the movie and see what this is all about. Turns out the plot is one we'd seen before. But the seeing these actors move around and talk in all that Technicolor! It's a nice movie though, life lessons for young men and young women...and maybe even older women. We loved it.
Now, about the DVD.  Whoever put this DVD together is almost as brilliant as the people who made the movie.  It's 11 deleted scenes show you everything that was taken out of the movie (the extending ending, etc.), and then some.  The 100 minute(!) documentary is fascinating, if it had been any shorter(like those twenty minute ones, or even worse, one of those 7 minute "featurettes") I would have been mad as hell.  Again, hats off to whoever made it.  It also includes a featurette called Watch the Skies, which I admit that I haven't got around to yet, because I've been busy with the other features, and of course watching the movie!  But even if the featurette wouldn't have been included at all, the documentary more than makes up for it.  The DVD also includes trailers, which no one really cares about usually, but I always get a kick out of them.  The best thing about this, though, is the restored picture and sound.  The Dolby 5.1 sounds even better than the original sound!!!  And the picture is a million times better than VHS!  Definitely a noticeable difference!!

The film itself is the greatest of all comedies by the greatest of all comedy troupes. No small intellect is behind the script, and no insignificant amount of historical knowledge either. The actors avoid playing their parts with self-knowing irony, which gives viewers the a chance to get (or miss) the humor on their own. As much fun as the film are the director's commentaries and various shorts depicting the search for castles (not as easy as it might be supposed) and the shooting of the film itself. Two sad truths: Graham Chapman is no longer with us and John Cleese has developed into (perhaps always was?) an insufferable bore. Ah well, I'm over it.

The monsters in "R.E - Apocalypse" are well done, but the zombies are not as gruesome as they were in the previous movie. Those creatures with the massive tongues are pretty well done and the mutant Dobermans are great. I've already talked about Nemesis, so I'll continue...all creatures and monsters have unique characteristics and are pretty ugly for the most part, so I'll give monsters and creatures 8/10.

6870	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Great movie, but video quality was poor.  Should have just ordered the dvd
On the negative side, it was a little longer than an action movie needs to be-- 10 minutes could have been trimmed, I caught myself wanting to hit forward and skip scenes in the first half hour of people wandering warily around deserted areas. I've never wanted to do that with a Romero movie. It does take a little too long to get going, but when the action kicks in, trust me, it doesn't let up, to the point where I felt kind of battered after the movie-- really unrelenting. I couldn't stand the industrial/techno soundtrack, but then I don't usually listen to bands with song titles like `Fistf*ck" and "My Plague (New Abuse Mix)". I guess it was appropriate for the movie;  I didn't exactly expect, say, Oingo Boingo (though that would have been kind of cool, now that I think of it) but it was grating after a while. Several shots were extremely derivative of Romero, but since I haven't watched the featurettes or commentaries, I'm not sure if the filmmakers intended them as a tribute/in-joke (like the newspaper headline blowing around a deserted street proclaiming THE DEAD WALK!  which, as far as I'm concerned, should earn a movie 3 stars right there) or just ripped them off with the plan to say they were `inspired by' the other movie if anyone pointed out the similarities.

So yes, in its own way, Fright Night is cheesy.  At the same time, though, it is oh so much more than you would expect - an entertaining, somewhat creepy vampire film that features some great acting and some really impressive special effects.  You expect to see really bad, noticeably cheap special effects in a film like this, but Fright Night hits a home run in this department.

Alice (Milla Jovovich) has amnesia from what just happened.  Only seconds later, the mansion is attacked and bombarded by gung-ho S.W.A.T.-like marines with roughneck attitudes...(yawn)!

The Marines and the 3 are taken to a an underground lab, where the same inccident took place at the very beginning.  The machine that killed the office employees is already planning to kill the marines...As for the basic plot?  Well, when I mean "basic", I mean it was as if the writer just watched "Aliens" or "Night of the Living Dead", took out his laptop computer and started writing a remake of the movie he had just watched and titled it "Resident Evil"...because he just saw a commercial for some game called "Resident Evil"...

2358	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Britain, circa 1997.  Tony Blair is elected P.M.  Princess Di perishes.  And the Spice Girls are unleashed to an unsuspecting public.  This effort is an attempt to cash in on the phenomenon before a fickle populace turns their attention to the next best thing.  To be fair, the girls are not to blame for what a tedious flick this is.  Rather, they are appealing and prove to be the film's lone redeeming factor.  The fault lies in the script that tries to do for the Spice Girls what "A Hard Days' Night" did for the Beatles.  Whereas the Fab Four's film was full of wit and cogent commentary on Beatlemania this flick is unfunny and basically incoherent about what it's trying to say about the Spice craze.  I was reminded more of the Monkees' "Head" than I was of "A Hard Days' Night".  Lots of celeb cameos (Roger Moore, Elton John, et al) that amount to naught.  Oh, well.  On to "From Justin to Kelly".
Have yourself a good scare and watch this film.

The correct answer is: "Yes."
Michelle plays Beth Cappadora who heads to her high school reunion with her kids only to have her youngest child abducted.  We're taken into the whole gritty scenario of what would you do if this happened to you?  How would you react if your child is missing for 15 minutes and then two hours later and no sign of him and the police are there.  You would be a mess!  How would you be each day thereafter with no sign of him.  Imagine it.  Nine years goes by and the kid is more grown up and shows up at her front door to mow her lawn.  He matches the description of the projected images that the FBI made him out to look as he got older.  I won't tell you what happens, but you get the drift of the turmoil this poor family goes through.  Michelle falls into the rabbit hole of emotions giving us some of her most brilliant acting work on screen.  The movie is tragic and even more tragic that it wasn't more seen.  I personally enjoyed it and found it to be a nice dramatic family film.

If you can ignore the numerous plot holes and inconsistent logics, 'Resident Evil: Apocalypse' has serious problems with it.  As I said, the fighting sections, which should be the biggest feature of the film, suffer heavily from the inept editing that use too many fast cuts and slanted camera.  Milla Jovovich, physically fit, is fine as the fighting heroine, but the camera fails to capture the essence of her, which was so eloquently shown in 'The Fifth Element.'

It is so beautifully filmed by Robert Redford that you can almost feel the sunlight, hear the flies buzzing around you and sense of the cold water of a mountain stream.  The casting was also excellent for this film, though Norman's wife, Jessie, is played a bit too inaccessible by Emily Lloyd.  The supporting cast was well-played, actor Tom Skeritt is wonderful, as usual, playing the preacher father and Brenda Blethyn is reliably strong as Mrs. Maclean.  Brad Pitt is luminous and exudes the beauty of the popular and youthful brother, Paul, whose end is tragic.  Craig Sheffer's character, Norman, is the center of the story and he tells it well.  I had read the book after I saw the film, years ago, and wasn't a fan of the writing style in the telling of this true story, but the film stayed with me so I wanted to see it in Blu-Ray.  It's still haunting.
 The movie starts out with King Arthur (Graham Chapman) and his loyal servant Patsy (Terry Gilliam) galloping...wait, is Patsy clapping two coconuts together to symbolize a horse running? Wacky! Then they encounter a man above in a castle who won't let them past because he doesn't understand where they got the coconuts. Then a man collecting bodies (Eric Idle) during the Black Plague is swindled by another man (John Cleese) to kill a perfectly healthy old man because he'll be dead soon anyway. Need I go on? Okay, Arthur bickers with a 37-year-old beggar named Dennis, who he mistakes for a beggar woman, and he encounters the Black Knight (Cleese again), who even with no legs and arms, never gives up ("I'll bite your legs off!"). Arthur recruits Sir Bedevere (Terry Jones, also directing), who is in a heated argument about whether or not a woman (Connie Booth) is a witch and suggests weighing her against a duck (don't ask).
"Easy Rider" was also a first.  Being an independent film created less than $400,000 and making millions.  Jack Nicholson who was planning to quit from acting, was made a bonafide star thanks in part to this film and of course, ushering the new era of Hollywood and received the distinction of being in the American Film Institute's "Top 100 Films of All Time" (at #88) and Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild" at #29 for "Top 100 Songs of All Time".

Set in New Orleans (mainly) in the Depression this film evokes a somber, yet spirited picture of three men, a fighter, a con-man and a poet doing what needs to be done to stay alive during hard times. Charles Bronson as "Chaney" is pure Bronson (strong, silent, sensitive); exquisitely complimented by James Coburn  the appealingly sleazy gambler, "Speed", and Strother Martin as the dreamy but incisive opium addicted medic "Poe". All-around this is a visual rich, moody film, not contradictorily filled with action.

I must agree with many of the other reviewers here in that this movie is definitely not for people who can ONLY find humor in the obvious slapstick/punch-line formula. I think all of Anderson's movies are in the "love `em or hate `em" category for this reason. The humor in this movie is understated, of course, and it lives within the idiosyncrasies of the characters. The way certain characters deliver their dialogue with their own unique brand of subtle comedy makes this movie what it is: a completely quotable riot for those "in the know" to relish on.

The great disservice this screenplay did was portray Joan as insane rather than having a gift from God.  Only a few "miracles" were actually illustrated, such as Joan picking Charles out of a crowd.  Jovovich's portrayal of Joan as a shuddering, twitching mental patient was simply unnerving, not at all enlightening.

Andrews Blu-ray Review: Alan Parker's Midnight Express is a tough, troubling, difficult picture. It's thoroughly unpleasant to watch, loaded as it is with brutal assaults and grisly torture and people losing their minds; it also includes some cringe-inducing xenophobic attitudes and dialogue (which screenwriter Oliver Stone later apologised for). It's structurally wobbly, and full of odd interludes. But you can't deny director Alan Parker's ability to work over an audience; his direction is tight and sometimes unbearably tense, and he manages to draw us in to a story with a serious shortage of sympathetic characters, primarily through the sheer brute force of his imagery.

AUDIO AND VIDEO QUALITY: The Bob Newhart Show has always had quality issues on broadcast and video release as far back as I remember, and sadly this release is no exception. Over the years I've assumed that the transfers we've seen are taken from either second-generation prints, 16mm dupes, or analog-sharpened film-to-tape transfers. Other sitcoms shot on film in this era look better. If anybody has inside information on the condition of the original or edited film elements I'd love to know the story. So generally the contrast on most episodes it too high and harsh looking, there is a lot of grain, and most episodes are pretty de-saturated and the color temperature is too magenta in my opinion. Sound is also a bit harsh and thin in most episodes. My guess is that Shout has used the best original material available, and I have certainly never seen this series look or sound better than it does in this DVD set. So it's just decent, and probably limited to being so just by the nature of the source material.
Thumbs up!!

But if you watch it just looking for some silly slasher entertainment, you will no doubt enjoy it. The sets are beautiful, the camera tricks are worthy and the sound is extreme. I couldn't resist Jennifer Love's jublees and her acting is also good in this movie. A lot of the time the characters mouths move when they aren't even saying anything, which is a result of bad editing. The final reel is totally silly. But the clever death scenes and the characters actually caring about what happens to each other is a change from the usual horror films.

Finally, Pal Joey is it seems to me another superb example of the old studio system firing on all cylinders and the whole package of music design, art direction, costuming, choreography, and film editing, plus many Oscar-nominated for Pal Joey and all functioning seamlessly. With an incredible star package headed by Frank Sinatra on the screen, it is terrific entertainment that's hard to beat, especially for all you "young 'uns" out there who are only familiar with Rodgers and Hammerstein; you have a veritable universe of fantastic music to discover in the pairing of Rodgers and Hart. There's no finer film to start than this beautiful colourful musical. Frank Sinatra could have easily pulled off a less likable character. But this 1957 musical is brash, well-staged, and features three big "movie star" performances from Frank Sinatra, Rita Hayworth and Kim Novak. With good quality video and audio, and a really appealing, if sadly a short documentary, this release comes with highest praise indeed. So all in all, I am proud and honoured to have this in my classic musical film in my Blu-ray Collection. Highly Recommended!

It is a different story, and has nothing to do with the original Frosty TV Special. First of all it is made by a different studio, with different animators, directors, and voices. The director is Bill Melendez, who directed all of the Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and Peanuts specials, so it looks like a Peanuts cartoon. Made in 1992. The voice acting features Jonathon Winters, and it has John Goodman as Frosty. The songs are original and pretty fun. The plot is centered on the folks in town that want clean streets in winter by getting all the snow removed. The kids and Frosty are in a panic and fight back or else they will lose all their snow fun - and snow men. If you approach this show knowing it is not the sequel and is from the team that made the Peanuts shows, you will be OK.

Along the way, they run into about every permutation of hippie life in the 1960s - commune livers, idealist back-to-earthers, heavy druggers, free-lovers and the like. And they also run into a not-so-nice slice of "regular" America as well. Racists, hippy-haters, long-hair loathers, corrupt cops, prostitutes and swamp dwellers round out what passes for normal in the movie's vision of America.

This was a great movie from director Martin Scorsese. This was the first time I ever saw this movie and I was very impressed with how well Scorsese handled it. Robert De Niro gave one of the best performances of his career in this film and it's definitely worth seeing just for that. Jodie Foster was great in her supporting role, even if her character is so controversial (she's a child prostitute). All of Scorsese's films have this certain controlled madness to them. I think you can see it in this movie most of all, but it's also very apparent in his most recent film, The Aviator. He's so good at dealing with psychological disorders in his characters. Although I was disappointed with the ending (it lacked oomph, in my opinion, for how much build-up this movie had), I still thought this was a great movie.

The film's obviously a low-budget affair, but the actors and screenwriters seemed aware of this and worked it to their advantage as much as possible.  Rather than ignore the fact that they couldn't afford horses, they play it up as much as possible, even pointing out that they're substituting a servant banging coconuts together for a proper horse... and making the coconuts a running joke throughout the film.

The Sound is excellent, as the flawless lossless 5.1 audio will give all your speakers quite a bit of attention; the dialogue is crisp, articulate, clean and very pleasing. I was able to make out every spoken word without any complications. You will truly appreciate the opening-firing scene at the headquarters in Kazakhstan when general Rodek is captured. Moreover, AK-47's, Mp5 and Mp5k's fire and pierce with unbelievable force and dominance, but that's not even the bread and butter here folks. The automatic sub-machine guns truly immerse you in its breath taking firepower during the first plane shootout when the terrorists kill the majority of the President's staff on board. Listen carefully to the bullets ricocheting off metal stairs or penetrating through bathroom doors. I fully appreciated the gunfire sounds in the bag storage area where President Marshall hides; it is quite impressive and mesmerizing actually. One will also quickly observe how much attention is given to the sub-woofer and rear channel speakers during the exterior night shots of the plane in fight; engines will roar loudly and thoroughly producing a strong vibration in any floor of your house. As a result, this creates a very strong acoustical sound range leading the front channel speakers and gradually dissolving to the rear. The introduction of the F-16 fighter jets following Air Force One leaves no speaker unscathed; the incessant accelerating engine power might cause one to grip on to their seats. (Well, at lease for me it did) These types of aerial vehicular sounds are nicely calculated in between scenes of dialogue and dominate the last half-hour of the film. Even though I have never seen this film on standard dvd I feel it is appropriate and safe to say that this is a serious upgrade for home theater fans. Although I wouldn't say this is an outstanding Blu-Ray film, I will say it is a solid one because it delights and pleases wherever possible. In that regard, it is worth the purchase.

The original length of the movie is rumored to run aywhere from 115 minutes to 2/1/2 hours. Frankly, I LOVED the movie, but am left feeling cheated because the Director's Cut has not been released. Warner Bros. should plan to release it, as there is a fan base, however small, for this movie. Also, there's a narrative error caused by the editing down to 86-89 minutes-SPOILER AHEAD!!!-when infiltrating Sir August De Wynter's lair, how did the real Doctor Peel know the code words ("How now, brown cow?") to get into the lair with John Steed, as the line is not heard in the film prior to the scene?-SPOILER OVER!!! I enjoyed the acting of everyone involved, but felt that Sean Connery was underused (and, judging by the trailer and information on another site, most of his scenes ended up on the cutting room floor). SPOILER ALERT!!! Patrick Macnee's cameo was good. I guess the reason he chose not to appear on screen (and why Ms. Rigg turned down a cameo in the film) is because they didn't want the cameos to distract the audience from the plot of the movie.

So if you want this on blu ray then get it and remember to ask what version you are getting the ultimate is three versions of the movie and the other is one.

Mental health issues abound for Anthony (Luke Wilson) and his buddy Dignan (Owen). In fact, Anthony has just been released from a voluntary psychiatric facility where he was resting after a nervous breakdown. Waiting for him in the bushes (literally) is Dignan, who believes Anthony is escaping from the psych ward instead via his own free will.
All that being said. This is probably my favorite legal based show. Leo McKern excels as Rumpole. now again yes there are the stories and radios plays. but as McKern came first i still think of him as the origninal. the only Rumpole worth note. Rumpole is the selfproclaimed 'Old Baily Hack' who defends a wide assortment of clients. he never prosecutes, he never pleads guilty. he quotes Wordsworth, smokes small cigars, and he will never 'take silk' (ie become a judge.) He lives under the strict rule of "She Who Must Be Obeyed" ie his wife Hilda. His son Nick lives in America, the true 'brains of the family'. he resides at Number 3 Equity court. along side him are many other companions. George Frobisher, 'Uncle Tom', Phyllida Trant (the Portia of Chambers), the erstwhile Claud Eresken-Brown, and others. yet neither his house nor his chambers is his true home. his true home is the Old Baily. it is where he truely feels alive. yet even here he must face an array of tiresome judges. men such as Judge Bullingham 'The Mad Bull', Justice Graves, Justice Oliver Oliphant, and others. still Rumpole carries on in his own fashion.

There is one flaw right up front; the terrorists who came on board with the President would have never passed security; in fact, what happens at the beginning would never happen in reality. All these unknown men about nine of em just get onboard Air Force One, and it is not clear why security failed to apprehend any of them. This is glossed over fast. I think it's another great H.

I disagree with another reviewer who felt the transfer was bad. I feel the picture is very sharp, way sharper than any way I have seen this in the past. For example, in prior versions early in the movie when the alien ships turn their lights out, you could only "see" the ship moving among the stars by seeing some brighter stars wink out, now you can see all the stars and the "shadow" of the ship has substance. The discs sound great as well.

6729	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	You know I have heard a lot of people love this movie, but when I watched it I was utterly dissapointed.  I have played every Resident Evil game that has came out and I loved every single one of them.  One of the things I liked about the game was the well developed plot.  This movie does a horrible thing to that plot.  First the movie is about a a virus that allows the dead to come to life as zombies that wander lifelessly feeding off human flesh.  First the mansion would have been better left off the movie entirly it served no purpose other than to give us a few glimpses.  Whatever they did to the police teams was atrocious and it still leaves me confused.  The movie throws you into a situation where the police are holding people hostage during a raid on the house.  I must say the only thing this movie has going for it is the excellent special effects, but they do not make up for the mutilated and awkward plot that was created.
3915	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Steven Spielberg's original masterpiece analyzed the UFO phenomenon and produced an emotional meeting between humans and aliens. But that is the original version not the sanitized special edition. If Steven Spielberg is such a great filmmaker, than why did he recut the original? He destroyed the emotional ending by inserting Richard Dreyfuss hyperventilating as he enters the mothership. And he suspiciously removed the scene which accused the government of covering up their knowledge of UFO's and how people are looked upon as crazy for their beliefs. So, Mr. Spielberg continues to censor his original masterpiece. Why? I have rated the original. Please search it out. Incredible photography, fantastic performances, and dramatic special effects combine with Steven Spielberg's pastiche of UFO events to create one of the finest science fiction films of our time.

Perhaps the most powerful aspect of the film is Jeff Daniels' portrayal of George Washington, during which he once again showed his versatile thespian abilities.  I cannot think of another contemporary actor who could have played the part more believably.  Be assured, the casting organization that selected the rest of the actors did a wonderful job.  While some of these are not prominent actors, their selections to those parts, and their deliveries of same were superior.

8068	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This is a movie that has that rare ability to make a you think and entertain you simultaneously. Like when Robin Williams tells the wonderfully touching story of the Fisher King, he and Jeff Bridges are  lying naked in Central Park. It takes the issues it deals with  seriously--but at the same time doesn't beat you over the head with its  ideological agenda. The actors all perform extremely well--especially Jeff  Bridges. In the scene(s) where he's stumbling around the city drunk and  confused, his acting combined with Terry Gilliam's excellent camera work  really capture the essence of what that feeling is like. So I'd definitely  recommend stepping into the minds of the characters in this movie--the  diversity of viewpoints and priorities that they each have is both  thought-provoking and refreshing.

Jeff Daniels is very credible as the stern and determined Washington.  The supporting cast is also quite good, especially Sebastian Roche as the tough-minded General John Glover from Massachusetts, now unfortunately largely forgotten in history, whose Marblehead fishermen rowed the Army across an ice-choked river.  The production values and the attention to detail should easily satisfy most viewers.  It would be hard not to be caught up in the drama of the situation.  Recommended.

I'm a big fan of the vampire movies anyways, liking 'The Lost Boys', 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' (the tv show), 'Angel', 'Interview With a Vampire', etc... But this movie is not only horror, but it also has a great mix of comedy in it.

On the other hand, the stagy blood splashing toward the end, and the lingering thereon, seemed a little cheap, as though Scorsese did not have complete faith in his production and thought a violence fix was needed to satisfy his audience. Also the fantasy ending in which the unlikely happens like a cartoon joke seemed a contrivance from someone not sure about the import of his movie. The scene in which Cybill Shepherd enters De Niro's empty cab, seemingly to entice him, plays at first like a fantasy, but after he deposits her on the curb, we know it is supposed to be real. Incidentally, the fact that he doesn't notice her until he sees her in his rearview mirror, although he walked up to the cab with her in it, suggests something hurriedly dreamed up during production as a quick commentary on what has gone before.

Punctuated by a great Marvin Hamlisch score and the authoritative yet clipped over-serious narration of the late Jackson Beck underlining the most absurd and hilarious moments, this is one movie that you just cannot tear yourself away from or stop laughing at and with.

2322	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	On this derivative, by-the-numbers thriller we are forced to believe that an US president (played by Harrison Ford) could actually take down a russian (what else?) group of terrorists, as if he was 007 or McGyver. The beginning of the movie is somewhat credible, but soon presents us with one-dimensional characters and motivations, a lame and predictable plot and wooden, tepid acting. There are some twists, but they are so ridiculous and unbelievable that I stopped caring about it halfway through, given that the resolution has no surprises at all since the "good" guys always win. Despite some competent action sequences, this is brain-dead, mind-numbing material, cartoonish at best and completly disposable. There`s no force to be found here.

Strictly a "two-hander", (Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifune), the latter speaking only Japanese throughout...no subtitles. You have to rely on Marvin's dialogue, and Mifune's expression. Now this is not as hard as it may sound.

The blu-ray transfer is good, both audio and visual--not the best I have ever seen, but perfectly funcational for this type of movie.  If you already have the DVD, it is a judgment call about whether you should upgrade or not.  If you really like this movie, then go for it.  Otherwise, the DVD will work just fine.

The sound and picture quality are flawless, especially the DTS track, which resonates with the voices of the otherworldly.  The documentary, culled from the laserdisc version, is excellent, and even better than a commentary.  It offers insight into the making of one of the most important science fiction films ever made.  And there's a particularly hilarious story Steve Spielberg tells about an orangutang on roller skates that must be heard to be believed.
A true masterpiece. Dang, it even features a cameo by Tom Waits.
We slowly learn,  along with Lowenstein, about a severe and traumatic family history. Three  children, of whom Tom is one, are spiritually imprisoned by an abusive  father and a manipulative, ambitious mother. Their only comfort is in each  other, which is expressed perfectly whenever their parents fight, by their  escape underwater where they hold hands in a ring of love. In the present  though, even this bond has been sundered. Tom's older brother is now dead  and his sister has lived away from him in New York for many years.

3670	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	"Close Encounters of the Third Kind" is Steven Spielberg's 1977 blockbuster that examines how a man's life is changed forever when he realizes through a series of unexplained events that other beings exist in the universe. Roy Neary, played by Richard Dreyfuss, is a happy family man when, one night, a spaceship flys over him in his truck. This leads him to investigate the incident, with him ultimately losing everything he has, including his family; his investigation becomes a compulsion that even he can't control. The movie was one of the biggest blockbusters of the 1970's and is the best film that explores aliens and the unknown. This beautiful 2 disc DVD set is loaded with extras including interviews with Dreyfuss and Spielberg, 11 deleted scenes, a making-of documentary, a 1977 featurette called "Watching The Skies", plus much more. Rona Barrett from ABC said the film is "brilliant and nothing short of a masterpiece".

She hardly feels human anymore.

3739	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I remember buying the CLV Criterion laserdisc back in the early '90s of the original release and was in awe at the detail. I later bought the ultimate director's cut LD (the same ultimate director's cut on this release) and was really disappointed at the low level of detail even though the sound was really good. I resisted buying the DVD because that I didn't want to buy it again while not being certain that the picture would be really great. LDs' sound have always put the sound on DVDs to shame. So I waited for a Superbit version of the film but it never came. When I saw that it would be released on Blu-ray I simply jumped at the change and pre-ordered it right away.

Another Fact:  This movie SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME SO BAD!  And I don't scare easliy when it comes to horror movies.
What makes this  movie work is that you get to watch something happen that is improbable and  that is something audiences can't get enough of (example: Independace Day ,  etc). Yes, there are some technical aspects of the story that you need to  be willing to overlook, like terrorists walking  onto Air Force One posing  as journalists (yes, reporters really do fly on the plane, but they are  "familiar faces" to the crew).

In this sense, THE FISHER KING is like the dark underbelly of IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.  Jack doesn't discover he's done good in the world, but realizes his own capacity for evil.  He wants to atone, but he wants to do it the easy way.  As he tearfully relates to his energetic and devoted lover (Mercedes Reuhl), "I wish I could just pay my ticket and go home."  And he does try various means of atonement until at last he realizes he must give his all in order to find grace.  Bridges is one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood.  His acting in both STAR MAN and THE FISHER KING is amazing; he brings out just the right balance of humor and tragedy in his characters.

Chris Sarandon puts on a marvelous performance as the Vampire, Jerry Dandrige. He is smooth, intelligent, aristocratic, has a sense of humor, & exudes loads of sexuality, like most great Vampires, male or female. There is an underlying aura of menace, to his demeanor, very subtle, but all the more powerful for it . He is a cat silently stalking it's prey, sleek, graceful, & lethal.


It's something much more powerful.
Speilberg recently said that he could not make this movie today, and it's easy to see why in the psychological breakdown of Neary and what this does to his family (especialy his children).

6040	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Midnight Express - coming out in '78 - gave us a cinematic view into the Middle East that the three-network evening news at the time didn't provide. The clash of cultures and values in this movie really stood in contrast to the "malaise" period in America (as Jimmy Carter put it). The film became more relevant when it was on television a few years later during the Iranian hostage crisis, with the clash of cultures playing out in real life. The idea of hell being a "Turkish prison" was popularized with this movie. Also the idea that America's post 60's values had become trivial compared to a world much older than it's just celebrated bicentennial. I think Alan Parker really made his mark with his direction of this movie. I followed many of his later efforts on the strength of this film. It's both brutally real and hallucinatory at the same time. There's a feeling of relief at the end of this movie like no other "prison escape" movie. The film is also notable as being one of Oliver Stone's early efforts as a screenwriter. This new dvd effort should improve on the 20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION, which came out in the "early authored" dvd days of 1998. There are few more extras on this edition so it's a worthy upgrade and a definite must have if one is looking for a film that's an insight to the time, the cultures and even some perspective on where we are now.
This movie has a lot of lighthearted and very comic moments, intertwined into a deeper story about finding your place in life.  The relationship between Stevo and his dad is terrific, and I loved watching the scenes where Stevo railed on him for selling out from his hippie ideals.  Stevo had a lot of hilarious and intelligent monologues in the movie, on what ideals are, what anarachy means and how fighting actually opposes anarchy, why UK punk music sucks, and what he plans to do with his life.

I am glad to say I was wrong.
There is a climatic scene at the end of the film when the duo reach New Orleans and celebrate Mardi Gras. They have a LSD drug trip and the camera tries to capture the "trip" experience.  Again, the sequence is poorly filmed, poorly edited, and is far too long.

RE Apocalypse accomplishes none of these things. If you're expecting a horror movie, what you get is a weird combination of the Kung-Fu and action genres. There's no character development, the plot is shallow and even Mila dropped the ball with her acting in this one.
I give this 2 stars because the acting was very good, but the storyline is super choppy, cryptic, and unbalanced.  It would have been better if more time had been spent on explaining the plot instead of long panoramas of the scenery.
My rating takes its one star plunge when the DVD itself is analyzed.  Most of the extras are just fine.  The French students among us can listen to it dubbed or subbed in Francais.  You can watch it in widescreen, and you can check out the filmographies of five members of the staff.  It also contains a music video for "My Plague" by Slipknot.  I wasn't interested in this video, but that's just because I'm not a fan of Slipknot.  It's all about taste in that department.  The trailer section, however, pulls my least favorite of tricks.  Instead of offering the many different tv spots, teasers, and trailers, it offers you one trailer for "RE" and four more trailers of random other movies.  But this is just a pet peeve.

But, enough of my tangential prattling; time for my review of the features & extras! This baby's broken down into your basic 2-disc special edition format. Disc 1 is the movie itself, along with not one, but two commentary tracks by our beloved chaps. The first one features co-directors Gilliam & Jones. Although he's from the U.S., it's fairly apparent that Gilliam's stay in the British Isles has affected his vocabulary & accent a bit. During his discussion about the people going to theatres to see MP&HG, he referred to the lines of moviegoers as a queue (I think that's how it's spelled... it's pronounced 'cue') of moviegoers. Both he and Jones discuss the highs & lows of producing & filming the movie, including the revelation that much of MP&HG was financed by members of Pink Floyd, the Beatles, and other British pop/rock groups. Then there's the other three surviving Pythons droning on and basically wigging out on the secondary commentary track.
In "My Master, the Weakling" (Episode 66), Don Rickles plays physical trainer Commander "Killer" Kiski, who decides Tony and Roger (Billy Daily) are weaklings and need to be whipped into shape.  However, Jeannie will only put up for this nonsense for so long before turns the tables on "Killer" by giving him the temperament of his sweet old auntie.  Look quick for David Soul as an orderly, years before he went on to fame in "Starsky & Hutch."

For those that have fans of the game for more than 6 years, will be dissapointed, yet will respect it for being Resident Evil, itself. The game series is "perfect" compared to the movie. This fairly deserves a 3.8/5. Recommended for any Resident Evil fan.
This movie was such a huge let down. First off the Directing was horrid. The action sequences scream of low quality. The director uses quick jagged camera movements to obscure the action in the movie and give the moive a "sense" of action, but people who are used to the matrix/jackie chane show whats going on aspects of a fight sequnce will be aggrivated with the final show down.

I was surprised watching this megaset how many episodes I don't recall ever seeing.  I'm not sure whether that's because I was out of the house at the time -- in the days before VCRs -- or because some of the episodes have elements reflecting the racism, anti-semitism, or other unfortunate aspects of the Edwardian age which U.S. networks elected not to broadcast.





To me this film became the masterpiece of this talented film maker .
The extras are great as well.  Some really good deleted scenes here, about 11 in all, some dealing with the chaos of Roy doing his work when the power goes out, some dealing with Roy's obsession with the sky and the infamous inside the spaceship ending that was in the Special Edition.  I also really like the scene with the policemen filing their reports.  A couple of old trailers for the movie, it's interesting to see how they advertised their movies back in the day.  And my favorite, the in depth documentary.  This baby is as long as a movie by itself and it has tons of info on the movie, everying you wanna know.  I love it when a disc goes all out on a documentary, as I find the behind the scenes stuff, the stories to be told and the looking back on stuff intriguing.  This movie whets my appetite for Spielberg DVDs for now, much like Jurassic Park and Jaws did when they came out.  But like those movies, it won't be long before I crave MORE Spielberg on DVD!  Bring on E.T., bring on Indy, bring on Shindlers List, bring 'em all on!

5543	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Vampire movies are almost by definition parodies, the only variable being the degree and the quality of the parody elements vs the scare elements. "Fright Night" (1985) is neither the best parody nor the scariest thriller, but it has the distinction of being the all-time best mix of the two. Both its parody and its scare elements work extremely well and their juxtaposition really makes the film worth seeing.

But, I think one positive point that is often overlooked about the old system is well illustrated. There was some sense of family ties of a sort between the upstairs family and the long time servants downstairs.
In this Taxi Driver special edition DVD, we have one of the best films of the 70's on a great disc with one of the best documentaries out there.  Travis Bickle, our antihero, is a cabbie who suffers from insomnia and wants to "work long hours". This is how he meets many of the strange characters he comes in contact with including Sport (a pimp played by Harvey Keitel) and a young prostitute named Iris played by Jodie Foster. Before that however, Travis becomes fixated by Betsy, who works in a campaign office. Travis, who is extremely lonely and shy, eventually works up the nerve to go into the office and tell Betsy that he'd like to volunteer. This is actually just a way for Travis to ask Betsy out on a date, which he does. However, that date turns out a disaster as Travis takes Betsy to a theater showing an X rated film and she is repelled by the entire experience. That causes her to avoid Travis and he eventually comes back to here office angry and looking for a confrontation. As to one viewer's criticism that this simply isn't believeable that he would take her to a porn film, I say to the contrary, he simply doesn't know any better. We're not dealing with a ladies' man here who knows what is and is not proper to do on dates.
Only when I was older was I able to fully appreciate the peasants pointlessly toiling in mud and spouting Marxist ideology, (much to Arthur's unappreciative chagrin) and the unexpected "ending."  When I first saw it, the ending actually made me angry and left me feeling cheated, but once I got used to it, I appreciated how inevitable it was considering the rest of the film....

If you don't see this movie then as Kumar might put it, "You blew it, man. You blew it."

6487	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I happen to love this movie.  I played the video games, but not enough to judge the movie based on the game.  First of all I couldn't beat the games, It got to confusing and I didnt' know what to do, so I gave up and played the second and third games.  Back to the movie.  This movie was a bomb.  In my opinion, this movie should be considered a Action film not a horror film.  I wasn't scared one bit.  The action of this movie was great.  I watched the first movie a milion of times.  It is a hot movie with action.  Stop comparing the movie to the games, and just compare it to the movie itself.  It's really hard to make a movie 100% on a game.  If you like action movies this movie is great.  I can't wait for it to come out.  There also making a 3rd movie, which I can't wait for too.
It's oddly relatable.

  A rouge group of cops and civilians roam the streets. They are looking for a way out of the city. When they cross paths they decide to join forces with Alice. But wait, the inventor of the T-virus is looking for his daughter. He strikes up a deal with Alice for their freedom if they can find his daughter. This action packed film takes you on a roller coaster ride through the streets of Raccoon City. All hell breaks out killing zombies and devil dogs. If you liked the first Resident Evil film then this film will not disappoint.
3933	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I am glad Spielberg re-edited the film and included the scene where the ocean liner is found in the Gobi desert(this scene was originally dropped in the initial 1977 release). There are also scenes that were dropped for the 1981 Special Edition release that are included here such as the Air Force press conference, and the footage of Dreyfuss tearing up his neighbors duck pond and yard to create his Devil's tower.  One thing is missing however, and I think Speilberg made a mistake not to include the footage of Dreyfuss going inside the mothership on this version. Sound is incredible on DVD version. Special features include trailers, teasers, outtakes, and a cool documentary with interviews by cast and crew.

5149	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	On watching Bottle Rocket and Rushmore, both excellent films by Wes Anderson, the human beings' first reaction might be 'this is weird.'  Another reaction would be, "these guys are real losers." I  suppose they are pretty right on both.  But usually these people who say  such things are people whose brain is no bigger than that of a  mini-basketball.  (Not big!) They don't see the beauty and simplicity of  Luke Wilson's character sitting enjoying the company of Inez in the  washroom.  It didn't have to be in the Rainbow Room atop the World Trade  Center or at the Paris Ritz.  No, it was in a budget hotel along an  unglamorous stretch of highway somewhere in Texas.  And it was perfect!  It  could not have been better.  That is love, at it's best and fullest. In  Rushmore, the character of Max Fisher dabbles in all sorts of activities  and dons a red beret.  He's proud to be an overachiever.  Some people would  mistake him for being a nerd.  By all accounts, he does look geeky.  But  it's more of geek chic.  He would have gotten the lonely, sexy, and  intelligent Ms. Cross, if it weren't for his age of 15.  But Max can do  anything he wants to.  He goes for it and achieves it.  No fuss, no muss.  Just calm, cool, collected smarts.  Or shall I say Wes Anderson smarts.  For a full understanding of my review, you'll need to see both these films  at all costs.  It's well worth it.

Somewhere Lance Henriksen is probably jealous.

The '70s, for all the talk of it being a cultural wasteland, was a wonderful time if you're a fan of movies.  The angst of Vietnam created a lot of worthy dramas and comedies.  Most of them were very grim, bitter, angry, and disillusioned, but then these qualities make for some fine reflection on the human condition.  As did the setting of the movie, which was New York.  I was a boy at the time, but my parents let me watch the news, as well as the TV of the era, and New York was a schizoid wonderland of success, excess, and the multiblock whore-with-a-heart-of-gold known as Times Square.  DeNiro's unraveling character is most at-home here, surrounded by people (the "scum" he hates so much, ironically) yet apart from them, without the first clue how to connect with him.  Is there anything more scary, with all the examples in the movie of Travis' decent into madness, than his perfectly-reasoned decision to take his "angel" on a date to a porno theater?
By Schwarzenegger flawlessly pulling off such one-liners - "Could I speak to the drug dealer of the house, please?" and "Sir, are you a henchman?" - this is clearly a romp through a timeless genre, with the emphasis on Fun.

The film epitomizes Monty Python and the craziness of the British comedy group popular during the 1970's.  If you saw this years ago, you'll be surprised how funny it still is.  And if you've NEVER seen it, you should treat yourself, especially since lines from it continue to crop up in ordinary conversation.

AIR FORCE ONE itself was a sort of comeback project for the beleaguered Ford, whose previous films had been major disappointments--the terrible SABRINA remake and the muddled IRA thriller DEVIL'S OWN with Brad Pitt.  I think at that minute we really needed Harrison Ford to start thinking about how to sustain a career.  Instead he just must have said Ah Screw It and switched the remote to a then-new TV show called ALLY McBEAL.  The rest is film history.

I cannot judge this movie on its historical content since I was unable to understand what was being said. But having read other people's reviews, it sounds like a movie worth watching. I only wish that A&E had released it with subtitles so everyone would have the opportunity to enjoy Jeff Daniels as George Washington.
5387	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I loved this movie!!! It's got mystery and horror ...and comedy too!!!
New York City circa the 1970's was the perfect setting for this movie, since as stated before, the 70's was a decade of crime and NYC is known for lots of crime.  The cinematography was top-notch as well, as it captured all the filthiest corners of the city, helping to flesh out Travis's resentment of the "filth" infesting the city.  Also, with this being a movie made 35 years ago, the film's age shows in the picture quality, giving it a naturally-grainy look to it.
The movie is based solely on the Gospel of Luke, and the dialogue you hear is taken straight out of the Bible.  Jesus says nothing in this film that He does not say in Luke's account of his life.  Naturally, every facet of Jesus' life could not be covered here, but the movie does a superb job of showing us who Jesus was and how He lived, taught, suffered, and died for the sins of all humanity.  Brian Deacon does a superb job playing Jesus, and Niko Nitai truly shines in his portrayal of Simon Peter.  At times, the film does seem to jump from one scene to another rather quickly, but this goes back to the authenticity upon which the film was founded.  In a sense, Jesus' ministry was spent walking toward Jerusalem and His death on the cross, so we see Jesus and his disciples walking almost continuously; furthermore, Jesus' teachings, as recorded in Luke's Gospel, are a collection of parables and religious instruction originating from many different events in the life of the Savior.  Jesus took His message to the people instead of letting the people come to Him.

972	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	First off, our friend below from Aussieland, is not correct.  This IS the performance that aired here on Masterpiece Theatre in 1999 (it like other stuff on the WGBH label includes Russell Baker's openings and closing (singular as he did not do a closing for part 1).  There is another BBC release from 1981 also on DVD which I do not know anything about.  This version came out around the time the "modern version" shown on the big screen with Gwyneth Paltrow came out which takes place in modern Miami.  Suffice it to say, this is the second time Masterpiece Theatre aired a true representation of this classic while the big screen put out a flop (the first time was Moll Flanders in 1996 which sad to say the single disc copy I bought here at Amazon is no longer in print and who knows how the double disc rerelease is doing).  Ioan Gruffudd as Pip is as great as his performance in Hornblower.  It also tells most of the story which several of the big screen versions leave out.  If you are building a library of "Masterpiece Theatre" classics, then (even though it only aired in 99) this belongs in that library.

Doug enlists the help of his flying buddies (two of which are Styles from Teen Wolf and the gay dude from Revenge of the Nerds) to hatch a rescue plan.

After the two find out that the U.S. government has their hands tied in red tape, Col. Chappy decides to put a plan into action.  He'll require the considerable talents, connections, and tricks of each member of the flight club.  They'll have to steal maps, get top secret armament information of the enemies, hack into government computers to get F16s with enough ammo (and flight plans) to take on an entire Arab country, and exploit every moron the Air Force could possible assemble on one facility in order to save Doug's father.

As Charley and his girlfriend (played by Amanda Bearse) realize that his initial perceived nightmare is true, they enlist the help of former television vampire hunter has-been Peter Vincent (in a wonderfully funny performance from the great Roddy McDowall) to bring the vampire-next-door to light.  Director Tom Holland uses a great, clever script to near perfection, mixing the elements of terror and tongue-in-cheek humor to the fullest, making "Fright Night" one of the most enjoyable and entertaining horror films of the middle decade.  Ragsdale is innocently exceptional with his performance and Sarandon is perfect as the seducing, scheming vamp.  Very good special effects and some great one-liners.  Can be enjoyed to all movie-goers, not just buffs of the horror genre.  A true campy, cult landmark.

None of the movies Andrew Niccol has made since "Gattaca" have even come close to this level of skill -- the movie is a slow, elegant winding of murder mystery and philosophical sci-fi. The plot quietly grows in tension as Vincent's life becomes more tangled up in lies and suspicion, with quietly powerful dialogue laced with dry humor ("I guess we can rule out suicide," comments a cop as they bag a bloodied keyboard).

6960	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Very satisfied with order.

Although Nil By Mouth is a multi-layered work that has many sub-themes, to my mind there are two central ones.  The first is that of a portrait of a working class community in London, done with force, power, crude humor and gritty realism.  Why do I often encounter people in London who behave exactly like this but seldom see this reflected in British cinema?  It's probably because of the highly conservative nature of the film industry in that country and hats off to Gary Oldman for getting this truly excellent screenplay out amidst such an environment.

Total Body Stretching by Cathe Friedrich
"Close Encounters" also marks the first appearance of the Spielberg formula.  You know, the messy suburban house, the mouthy kids, the whole "just plain folks involved with something magical" storyline.  And while he gets a lot of knocks, both justified and unjustified, for inflicting this on American movies in the 80s, Spielberg's use of documentary-like elements throughout (as the space people play some Burmuda Triangle-related tricks on what's apparently an international investigation team) and some funky casting (Teri Garr, French director Francois Truffaut, Bob Balaban and others) combine to lend this one a veracity some of his later films- and those of his imitators- sometimes lack.  This is a very fresh and original take on sci-fi subject matter, completely without physical violence (although there is some of the emotional kind).  Seeing decades later after so many heartless, bombastic, noise and light CGI fests, one can't help but admire Spielberg's ability to get to the emotional core of this material.
Re: the DVD - VERY good.  The best edition so far.  A director's commentary, numerous interviews, and a beautiful photo gallery.  I only wish there were a retrospective "making of" feature, but as Stephen Wright says, you can't have everything - where would you put it?

The  battle scenes were awesome, the humor, if full of colloquialisms, was good  but not overdone, and the acting was solid if not great.  My biggest  complaint is one that I am finding more and more in recent movies.  At some  points, the beautiful panoramic scenes which work so well on the big screen  backfire on TV screens...for example, when Jeanne is running across the  fields in the beginning, she is barely visible as a little speck on a  big-screen TV.

I have always been a Python fan, and must confess that I actually prefer the series to the films, but the classic scenes in this film make it a must see.
The extras disc is fascinating in that you see actors whose principle work fell to the cutting room floor.  You also get to witness some very bad movie making that fortunately never saw the light of day except here.  Yet, the cut scenes involving Roy in the field before his first contact, bad as they are, make his subsequent firing easier to understand.  Nothing in any version explains why the power company was so eager to fire him.

Redford's cast is perfect.  Tom Skerritt is the Rev. MacLean, a man whose methods of education include fly fishing as well as the Bible, Brenda Blythen, the mother, and his sons, Craig Schaffer and Brad Pitt create a family whose interactions reflect the same problems all encounter with growing teenage sons, and later, complex young men.  Both Schaffer and Pitt are totally believable as the brothers whose love of fly fishing and each other will tie them together forever.  It is the relationships between men, father and sons, brothers, and their women to the outside world that grounds A River Runs Through It to a vein of storytelling that is missing in so many of Hollywood films produced in recent years.

8253	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I'm not generally a lover of British TV but Rumpole is hilarious.  He is surrounded be a bunch of idiots (except for the lovely Portia)and they are all gunning for him.  This, Sherlock Holmes, and Faulty Towers are British at it's best.
(On the DVD front, I'm surprised that Warner Bros. didn't include the ton of cut footage from the original version as deleted scenes. It would have really helped to shed some light on what went wrong with this movie. Much to my surprise, there is actually a cult following for this film that have been petitioning Warner Bros. for quite some time to release the original 2 1/2 version, or at the very least the second 101 minute producer's cut. It's scary to think that some people actually liked this movie!)
Some may not think that this is enough for "The Prince of Tides" to work, but in a way, it is. With a story that jumps from place to place, much like that of a soap opera, the cast is able to chew on the material with terrific gusto, making the changes of pace, setting and story easier to stomach. It's not a completely original piece, yet there is an appeal in its cliched romance, and a strong depth of feeling behind its characterization and human story. On this, the movie is a success.
I'm getting the DVD...
7201	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	My 5 year old daughter absolutely loved it.
The directing and set design are also excellent. This movie feels like a horror movie whereas the other two simply pass as alright action movies. The sets are intricately designed, with the very smallest attention to detail throughout. They are dark, filled with well placed streams of light and shadow, and dirty looking, in direct opposition to the clean, slick nature of the first movie. Everything really feels much closer to what the games envisioned in this outing. The directing is outstanding, filled with inspired camera angels, and the knowledge that true horror does not come from throwing scary beasts at us, but through the unknown about any scenario. The church scene is particularily inspired, giving us only the smallest glimpse of three attackers stalking the characters being portrayed. The level of suspense is masterfully built slowly to a climax around wonderful camera angels and the mood of the set. It is also no wonder why the acting in the movie feels so superb as well. It may not be the stuff of oscars, but it is outstanding by action/horror standards. A great director can bring out the best talent from their actors and actresses. Another classic scene portrays frantic citizens of Racoon city trying to leave through the one exit in the barrier surrounding the city until one man at the front of the line succumbs to infection and the exit is shut tight for good.

So it is with great pleasure that I say that this edition of Close Encounters of the Third Kind is quite simply "amazing!"  Yes, the film is 30 years old.  And some grain is to be expected.  But wow, what a transfer!  The colors pop off the screen.  The contrast is nice and sharp, but not in a bad way.  The dark scenes are virtually flawless.  The color tones and overall look of the entire film is breahtaking.  The audio easily makes this a reference Blu Ray disc and will really test your system.
On a more personal note...in the days following September 11, 2001, this was the film I finally came upon on TV after all those horrifying hours of 9-11 images.  As I watched, I was suddenly 10 years-old again, seeing the movie for the first time at the Ziegfeld Theater in NYC.  It didn't seem to matter that I had the uncut, unedited VHS tape on the shelf in front of me, I just kept watching it to the end.
Towards the end of the film, Arnold Schwarzenegger appears as himself, attending the New York opening of his latest Jack Slater film, accompanied by his wife, Maria Shriver, and blithely unaware that Jack Slater is fighting for his life in another part of the theatre. Instead, Arnold Schwarzenegger is seen hustling the Jack Slater merchandise that, like the "Last Action Hero" T-shirts, caps and poster are being sold to promote the film.
3905	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	I was sorely disappointed with this movie. I loved it when I was a kid, but after watching it for the first time since it was in theatres, I just wasn't impressed at all. I saw the DVD and couldn't resist, but I wish I would have. This has got to be one of the slowest movies I've ever seen. Spielberg never has been too impressive in my opinion, but this is pathetic. At least Jaws and E.T. have some action throughout the entire movie. Here you get a small glimpse of the alien happenings at the beginning, 1.25 hours of boredom, and an ending that just wasn't nearly as good as it was when I was kid. My kids couldn't stand it, so it's obviously not a timeless classic, like the other space/alien movies of the late 70s early 80s.
4726	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Love this movie. Lots of action and great music.  If you like Lou Gossett Jr. this is a must see.
This movie focuses on three main characters:
Aside from the logical flaws in the story, the only time the film really stumbles is in the visual effects category. Don't get me wrong, most of the CGI is superb, but there's at least one scene near the end that features probably the most hilariously unconvincing (and disappointing) CGI-rendered shot I've ever seen in a big-studio production.
5448	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	It really disgusts me that sellers would inflate the price of this Blu-ray disc. Sure only 2000 copies were sold. Sure the movie is a classic. But that is no reason to ask outrageous amounts of money just to turn a profit. I own a Blu-ray copy and purchased it for $29.99 from Screen Archives Entertainment (the issuing company) in October of 2011 when it was released. If I ever sold it, I would do so at a FAIR price of $20.00 because one, it has been viewed over 12 times now, and two, it is not my intention to rip people off.
I sometimes wonder if the film holds the same allure for women as it does for men, just because so much of it revolves around male adolescent preoccupations (being on a "crew", firing guns, secret plans, fireworks). Any comments along those lines would be welcome and appreciated.

The film's climactic confrontation (between De Niro and Harvey Keitel as a pimp) scorches and burns but fails to provide a catharsis for De Niro's character (as it would in a lesser film), and its enigmatic ending remains much debated.  This is a dangerous film, seemingly as lethargic as Bickle's speech but, like the character himself, capable of erupting in violence.  John Hinkley would later use this film's political assassination plot as inspiration in his own pursuit of Jodie Foster; it's difficult to view the film without that association.  But this is a must-see, must-own film for serious buffs, DeNiro and/or Scorsese fans.
1269	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Great show love having the whole series great condition.
The great plus is that it has seamless branching of all THREE versions of the film: Theatrical (which I saw in '77 and prefer), Special Edition (the '80 inside the spaceship ending), and Director's Cut (which is a mix of different elements).
With his wife and daughter on the plane, Ford must race against time to save them. Glenn Close, as the Vice President on the ground, becomes acting president after Ford is presumed dead. She tries to talk down the terrorists, the leader played by Gary Oldman, in his most terrifying role ever. But with no success, it is up to Ford to take them out.


With her this time are characters that are actually from the games the movie is based on - sexy cop Jill Valentine (played by Sienna Guillory) and Carlos Oliveira (Oded Fehr). Since the Alice character was inspired by the Jill character, they are almost exactly the same atttude-wise, and do we really need two of the same character in the same movie? Sorry, we don't. The movie is supposed to take place during the Resident Evil 3 game which Jill is the star of, but whenever Jill gets in trouble in this film, Alice swoops in like Supergirl and saves her ass. They totally waste the Jill character just to keep the awful Alice story going, and it's sad to see the character that stars in the game get upstaged left and right by a character that was never in the games. Booooo! Maybe they should have just left the game's characters out of this film so they could keep the film and game separate.
Now, for the DVD quality. The picture is beautiful and the menacing ambience of keyboards and guitar is really good. It features 5 short featurettes: "The Making of Resident Evil", "Scoring", "Costumes", "set Design", and "Zombie Make-up Tests". The making of the score is interesting because we find out that Marilyn Manson is actually a pretty intelligent guy.....uh, girl.....uh whatever. It also includes a video from the Black Sabbath/Texas Chainsaw Massacre band Slipknot, if that means anything to you.

It's the  kind of movie you shouldn't buy snacks for because there's no telling how  long they'll stay down.  This flick is as contrived and mindless as their  music.

DeNiro is hauntingly right on as the former Vietnam veteran who decides to get a job as a taxi driver for the streets of New York City.  As he cruises the big-city landscape, he realizes all of the hidious crime, starvation, murder, death, and macabre that consumes society.  When he is rejected by a love interest (Shepherd) due to his out-of-the-norm behavior, Travis begins a downward spiral:  he begins to train as if he were still in the military, buys numerous firearms and weapons, and ultimately plans to stage an assasination attempt on one of the political candidates planning to take over the city.

4053	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Having recently lost a parent, I found this film very moving.  It is mature in that it isn't some silly thing about removing the barriers to falling in love - by far the easiest part - but in how to move on after a divorce.  The actors are extremely fine, and their characters evolve throughout the entire film:  the left-over mom is angry, the stepmom is a rather hard-edged career woman, and the kids are expressing pain and hostility in their own way.  Happily, the husband is not a simple jerk, but a guy working very hard to help everyone along the way to whatever comes next.  The way that they all adapt is entirely believable, bringing a realism that you rarely see in love films, and this is surely about love.
The movie looks like a true documentary, the herky-jerky camerawork makes it look as if we're seeing everything from our own P.O.V. As if we're "there, in the heat of the moment."

Blue Thunder takes us to that "big brother is watching you" card reminicent of 1984,(which is the year the Olympics were in L.A.) what with its surveillance equipment, and there is even a reference to that in the movie, when Lymangood asks Murphy, "Big Brother, you want it on or off?" referring to the cockpit recorder which records their conversations. "I think we can lose that,"he replies.
Milla Jovovich and the rest of the cast carry out their performances very well!  The only setback is in relation to the parts where she, yet again, finds herself trembling/twitching/hurting/screaming etc.  Have mercy on us please... Can we have a movie with Milla Jovovich not acting like that (i.e. EXACTLY as she does in the Fifth Element, and in the two Resident Evil movies)?  Is that too much too ask???

I would recommend this to any one who is a Dickens Fan but do youself a favour and don't buy this DVD release.
EXTRAS: Every episode I've watched so far is uncut and runs about 25 minutes. Shout appears to have carried over the commentary tracks from the Fox discs. The 40-page booklet is very nicely designed, well written by sitcom expert Vince Waldron, and organized so you can find the episode titles, plot summaries, and airdates easily. The 19th Anniversary reunion show from 1991 is a 1-hour "clip show" that is just okay. It's nice to see the actors again, but not much actually happens other than setting up the clips which are (by themselves) great. The "Group Therapy" extra is a sit-down studio conversation with cast and crew that is very entertaining and insightful and lasts most of an hour. The unaired pilot is a real treat, and is quite different from the show as we would know it later.

Instead, the whole thing engulfs itself in blustering failures - its own annihilation ignited with the first sight of Milla Jovovich as Joan, the peasant girl, suddenly all grown up.  She makes her first appearance having somehow made her way to the castle of Chinon with a message to the Dauphin Charles VII, France's heir to the crown.  The movie offers no explanation as to how this unknown teenage girl had come to be known as the "Maid of Lorraine," nor of how she had made her way into the French Court.
Those issues aside, this is a superior sci-fi, whose warnings are timely in an era when genetic maniuplation is marching inexorably forward, and that asks us to remember that each human being harbors a non-quantifiable mystery of individuality and possibility.

As it stands this release is really good. Some have complained on the lack of a BD plastic cover and I can understand it but with this content it is well worth the price (some have complained on that too) and I would recommend this release to all sci-fans.
 This movie isn't frightening but it's not meant to be. It does have some nail-biting suspenseful moments -- especially when Dandridge pays a visit to Charlie's house and visits with him and his mother. There's also a good dosage of comedy but never goofy. Lot's of old time spoof nods to past vampire legends and rules of the trade in a flattering, fun way. A nice nod to the 80's, it had some great music that enhanced and never took away from the quality. (Tangerine Dream -- Firestarter; and Brad Fiedel (The Terminator, Serpent of the Rainbow)
 This new anniversary edition of "Midnight Express" includes the film in widescreen format, which is beautifully restored, a director's commentary by Alan Parker, photo gallery, and a producer's featurette.

Brad Davis was diagnosed with AIDS.

The disappointment with this movie was its over-focus on him and Rachel. The lessons God was teaching him were kind of talked about, but not focused on. The non-Scriptural parts, though, were pretty consistent with early Near Eastern customs and not contrary to Scriptural understanding. In that way, it was very good.
In conclusion I wanted to add in response to the reviewer below that it is more like good riddance to a witch of a wife.  Teri Garr did a splendid job of playing a wife who's head was completely in the sand and was not supportive of her husband at all.  I mean, if I had a loser wife like this, then I would be really tempted, alien encounter or not, to trash my living room and build a replica of Devil's Tower in my living room so she would think I was crazy and would leave me... FOR GOOD!!  Or, better yet, have the aliens abduct her, harvest her organs so they could see what a LOUSY EARTHLING WIFE IS MADE OF!!

The picture quality on the DVD is fantastic, especially when you consider the age of the film. The documentary is very informative and advoids being "fluffy."
I'm guessing this movie obtained in character, what Patrick Swayze, was trying to accomplish in Road House.  A woman he meets treats Bronson as a shiftless drifter.  After a brief attempt to get to know her, she dumps him when she finds a man with a steady job.  He then shows himself to have some real character, (at least to himself and the audience) by putting it all on the line. Instead of leaving town, he decides to help his new promoter, who's gotten in trouble with the load sharks. This gives the movie an ending, and even somewhat of a purpose outside of the great fistfights.

6188	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	One of the best Action/Sci-Fi Movies to come out in a long time. There is still hope for the world of sci-fi. The length of the movie is good (personally I wish it could have been a little longer). Just the right amount of gore for the squeamish (could have been more).

We encouraged to pray for the soul of our fellow schoolmate William Hayes who was languishing in prison, unjustly convicted.  Good looking guy, though not so sublime as Brad Davis, who plays him in the movie.
3224	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	When "Easy Rider" was released in 1969, it marked a turning point in the history of the American cinema. It took the independent film movement--practiced for so long by Roger Corman and others--and thrust it forward into the spotlight and, eventually, the mainstream. Made for under a million dollars, "Easy Rider" eventually grossed close to fifty, and opened Hollywood's eyes to a whole new area of potential profits. The American film was never to be the same again.
I have always had a problem with the various versions and releases/edits of this film.  Even with deleted scenes and unseen ones however, there really is no "filler" here.  This was and is, Hollywood SCI-FI/FANTASY filmmaking at its best, along with George Lucas and his efforts of course.
6641	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Interesting movie - pretty good action and story.
The Resident Evil games excel at creating a dark, suspenseful atmosphere, where you don't know what horrors are literally waiting around the corner. The main characters are given little ammunition to fend off the hordes of zombies and creatures salivating for their flesh, perpetuating a sense of doom and dread since the player must be methodical and conservative with their weapons. Writer/director Anderson attempts to establish a suspenseful mood by not even introducing the zombies until about halfway through the film. But sadly, all attepted suspense is lost once the flesheaters appear and the Covert Ops team whip out their big machine guns and blast away at them. The film becomes less about mood and scares and more about action and gunfire.

All historical accounts suggest that Joan of Arc was soberly persistent in her pleas for the Dauphin to give her an army but she was never the delusional psychotic as shown in the movie. Her visions were inspired by the Saints and not by Christ Himself. All accounts are conclusive in that Joan of Arc was leading as a symbol of inspiration to the army and never once raised a weapon against the enemy: she never shed any blood. Finally, Joan of Arc never reneged her faith or retracted her statements about her divine mission: that's why she was put on the stake.

The Black Knight, the wedding in the swamp, the Killer Rabbit, the Knights  Who Say, "Ni!"...too many priceless moments to count, all of  which make MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL a comedy classic.  So why the  four-star review?  Because, unfortunately, for every inspired moment  there's a dull one, a lame stab at humor that doesn't pay off.  First-time  audiences might be laughing too hard to notice, but repeat viewings just  don't hold up--quite frankly, this movie is downright boring in some  places.  Feel free to watch it with a big group of friends (the opening  credits alone will bring down the house), but don't expect an unbroken  stream of laughter.

Too bad, because this was a very good show, on Broadway, with Gene Kelly, who should have done this picture, or Marlon Brando, certainly Brando.
Julia Roberts has only managed one decent role in her career, and that (Flatliners) lay in the strength of the rest of the cast. The fact that she can be singled out here because of the weakness of the cast around her says volumes. I could easily go on for another half-hour about the painfully overdramatized script, the shameless attempts at emotional manipulation throughout, the pedestrian camerawork, and the fact that, even though he's working with adults, Chris Columbus is still directing teen feel-good-because-everyone-bonds movies. But there are so many more deserving things to give bad reviews to out there I can't justify spending any more time on this painfully bad piece of dreck. (zero)
I traveled from Mid Coast California to San Francisco in the 80's to attend an annual dinner of The Rumpole Society.

The first of the two DVDs contains color films of events beginning at about the time of The Spanish Civil War and the coronation of a new King (George) in Great Britain.

6310	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	I could not believe how bad this movie was!  Paul Anderson made AvP a bad movie, but I didn't know he could possibly write something this bad.  He even goes as far as stealing the "We are assets, expendable assets" line from Predator and "Newt, I like that" line from Aliens (although it's "Angie, I like that").  There is no reason for the audience to care about any of the characters as there is only one returning from the original movie and the rest are just thrown in for thrills.  Jill Valentine's inclusion is absurd and pointless as the first movie had nothing to do with the characters from the games, so why include them in the sequel?  Alice from the first movie is equally two-dimensional as she has suffered a complete pointless personality change.  She protested killing people after they were bitten in the first movie, but the first thing she does when that happens to someone in this is point a gun at them and prepare to fire.  Yeah, I know it's terrible.  This is the most illogical movie of all time.  Why would Alice drive her motorcycle through the stain-glass window of a church instead of walking through the door, and how did she even know how to get in there?  Why didn't Alice simply kick the villain's butt when he said "Fight him" and she said "no".  Moments earlier she had killed several guards with relative ease, but now she couldn't do it?  I don't think so.  I cannot believe that this story was bought and actually green-lit to be made into a feature film.  That's the most ridiculous thing of all time and after Ghosts of Mars and this movie Screen Gems' credibility has just fallen to rock bottom.  No wonder Paul Anderson didn't direct this, he must have known that it was one of the worst films of 2004 before it was even made.

I can't compare the game to the movie that well, since I've only played the game once or twice in the arcade and didn't last very long before I got eaten. (Check the trivia section on the IMDB if you want more info on that, though beware of many spoilers) I don't know if the game has any more of a backstory than the DVD box did: a virus is accidentally unleashed at an underground biological research facility that turns all the employees, lab animals, and experiments into flesh-eating undead. A rescue team discovers too late they are stuck in there with them; they have 3 hours to get out without getting eaten or, worse, infected  before the `Red Queen' master computer permanently shuts down all the exits.

He struggles to relate and connect with other people, slowly becomes detached from reality, indulges in inappropriate behaviour, and has a naive sense of what is right and wrong.
The DVD version of FRIGHT NIGHT doesn't have a lot of extras, but it's still well worth the cost.  To quote the trailer: "If you love being scared, this could be the night of your life!"
  All in all, I think I would have enjoyed a movie with the spirit of the game a lot better than this action oriented film, but it is still very fun and worth seeing at least once.  The hard rock soundtrack didn't exactly thrill me either, but it is still a movie horror fans or fans of the game should watch anyway.
And of course, the behind-the-scenes making of the film and knowing how drugged out the talent were during the filming and how some improvised scenes or scenes that were not in the script, ended up in the film is quite interesting.
3940	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I didn't have high expectations for this movie so I was delighted when it proved to be funny, clever, and well-made. The actors do a great job and the dialogue is totally believable; despite the pot-smoking and lax  attitude of the teenagers, the swearing is relatively limited, which I  always think of as a sign of a good film. Don't get me wrong - this isn't a  great film, it's silly schlock - but it's entertaining, fun schlock.  Watching the film with the audio commentary by the director and two of the  actors (after you've seen the film straight through the first time) is a  blast and a half. Definitely worth getting on DVD just for the audio  commentary. Reminds me of a combination of Half-Baked, Clerks, and Evil  Dead 2.

The photography is a wonder, the theme is unique, the message is universal.

The only thing good:  the cinematography, and evocative music and some of the nonviolent prison scenarios.  I was reminded of Dante's circles of hell.  Then a little research was in order.  I was thinking of Turkey's struggles between secular democracy (Ataturk's reforms) and its Medieval past.  There were clearly two power structures and judges (the secular and the religious?) struggling for dominance.  I was thinking of the issue of individual justice and the needs of society to make an example of Billy etc etc etc...But director and producers did nothing to develop any ideas.  I have so many ideas about how this material could have been developed....  it is frustrating to see that too often this type of junk wins out.
The other shorts on the DVD version leave a little to be desired.  But Lucas is great!
 Anyway, the film is pretty much an amalgamation of some of the game stories, namely the virus being released and Umbrella trying to cover it up by gassing the residents of a watch house after someone attempts to steal the virus and purposely releases it. Alice, who awakes in the shower, has no memories of her past and is suddenly thrust in the middle of a commando raid as Umbrella attempts to gain access to `The Hive'- their massive underground research facility where the `T'-virus was made and subsequently released. Now, in the video game, everything Umbrella owns is made of rusted steel and looks to be about a hundred years old or painted a sickly medicinal green and splattered with mud and blood. The film, however, everything is cut from polished stainless steel and aluminum, all very sanitary and high tech, which doesn't fit the milieu.
It is important to note that this film is featured in Digibook format (a book format and not the standard blue blu-ray case) as it contains a 42-page booklet with Director Alan Parker writing a personal memoir titled "Anatomy of a Film: The Making of Midnight Express" is included.

Let me first state that unlike many people, especially fans of the Resident Evil game series, I thoroughly enjoyed the first Resident Evil movie and although it wasn't anything too special or original, I felt the it was a solid action/sci-fi/zombie/horror movie which never really went wrong.  RE - Apocalpyse however disappointed me numerous times.  I excepted a generic plot, I expected Matrix style action, I expected hordes of zombies, I expected a lot of things, what I didn't expect were some lame scenes and a lazy plot wrap up.

318	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	If you gave this a high rating. It was for being a great HOLLYWOOD Production.. If you read the BIBLE you will find out Joseph was quite the opposite. It's in a small part a Christian movie. I can't see God pleased with exploiting sex scenes. If the Hollywood director when by the bible it would have raved reviews. It goes to show you how many BIBLE read the bible and how many never have opened one, going by all this Five star ratings.
One of the points that "people" miss--and I use quotes because I do believe this type of film has its female fans, but the game and the movie by and large is "consumed" by a predominantly male audience--is that this is not only a very, very fun action/zombie flick, but with a powerful female action heroine.  I'm seeing this more and more in movies and as a female person, I am thoroughly enjoying it.  Resident Evil is one of the leaders of the pack in this regard.  I am compiling a collection of videos that are not only great movies, but have great female leads.  I've been waiting for this trend all my life; someone to identify with in a film who isn't a screaming victim!  THANK YOU CAPCOM!

Roxanne is a sweet little movie, replete with exquisite physical comedy and heady wit, with a great cast of supporting characters (Shelley Duvall, John Kapelos, Michael J. Pollard, etc). Part of the movie's charm is the way it mines the hapless volunteer firefighters' ineptness for goodnatured, slapstick  humor. Roxanne incorporates its storyline seamlessly into the charming small town backdrop, lending a quaint, more intimate feel to the picture.

5466	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	A well-meaning if not slightly flawed film that is still highly recommended in the usually unwatchable wasteland that is the punk rock movie. The action centers around two lovably antagonistic protagonists, Stevo and Heroin Bob, as they try to verify personal truth in the unlivable (to them) wasteland of Salt Lake City in 1985. The fact that the pair are, at the time, the only "real" punks in the straight-laced Mormon metropolis allows the film to build upon a philosophical foundation of contrasts.

The imagery in this film is a character itself, central to it as any of the actors, scenes of dead soldiers and civilians a reminder of how "evolved" we are in today's world. There's a lot to be taken from this film, if you would only watch it as a story of sacrifice and devotion, and not one of religious dogma.

9949	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I saw this movie during it's initial run in the theater when I was a kid. I remember the movie fondly so I picked it up on Blu-Ray, hoping I wouldn't be disappointed that my memory was better than the reality (I'm looking at you, TRON!). Happily, I can report that the movie stands the test of time and looks & sounds amazing in Blu-Ray! Sure...there are bits of it that are cliche', but we aren't looking for high brow, mind expanding material here. This is an entertaining movie with good actors (Scheider, McDowell, Oates , and a young Daniel Stern) having fun with their roles. The special effects stand up despite being over 30 years old. Let's hear it for the power of practical effects! Recommended!
About the movie itself: I really like the music; it so vividly embodies Vincent's dream and the possibility that it will not come true because of genetic discrimination. I really admire Vincent and the doctor at the end of the movie who knew that Vincent borrowed Jerome's identity. In spite of genetics, Vincent could swim better than his engineered brother Anton and did successfully complete the training. Maybe it's the epigenome - which wasn't that well studied yet back in 1997 - as shaped by lifestyle and environment. I also feel sorry for the real Jerome, who incinerated himself (I almost burst into tears when he did so). I think the director put the pianist with polydactyly with purpose; polydactyly is usually considered a genetic disorder and patients usually undergo surgery to remove the extra fingers when they're young. But the beautiful music can only be played with 12 fingers. This shows what's commonly perceived as a defect can actually be an advantage; genetic defect does not preclude a person from success. There will be somewhere for the "defective" people to glow.

I was expecting nothing more than some short scenes of our now-infamous actors smoking marijuana followed by trippy Willy Wonka scenes . Oddly, this did occur, but this film was much more than that. This film should be shown in every American History class in the United States. It not only showed the beauty of the country of which we reside, but it also spoke about the people that reside in it. You know the old saying, "Guns don`t kill people, people kill people", well after watching this film, it is a very true statement. We are afraid of what is different. We are a culture that is afraid of change, yet seek it so badly. We are a society of hypocrites, androids, and ignorants. We thrive on the fact that we are the best country in the world, yet somebody shows any disassociation of routine, we are the first to question and get angry. I would dare say that we have moved so far from the 60s that I cannot see why our parents do not cry everyday. Their generations was a free-spirited, mind challenging culture that explored all possibilities no matter the cost. The experience was all they needed as a reward. Now, we are more concerned about money and the family-plan that we sometimes place ourselves on the backburner to life. Wake, eat, and pay the bills. What a sad daily structure that we have. When was the last time you considered the possibility of just jumping on your bike and riding until you hit water? Probably not for a long time ... why? It is called "bills" and "responsibilities". These are the choices that we chose to make, and for anyone to say that they cannot do it, I would have to challenge. You CAN do anything, it is whether you chose to do it is another question. I wonder what it will be like in another 30 years. Where will we be, and will the idea of individualism be lost? I can't wait to see ...

Even though the plot twist at the end is predictable (OH MY GOD!  Nemesis is Allice's old partner?  you mean we WEREN'T supposed to see that coming?), it was pulled off pretty well.  It was also stupid that Nemesis ends up helping our main protagonists through a disneylike "Yeah, we used to be buds" moment.

Ralph Fiennes is an outstanding actor in many other things. In this one he just missed that brilliant sparkle that the British own, and he doesn't get it. While he was brilliant in movies such as Schindler's List, this is another one of his hit and misses.

It doesn't seem to have that much in common with the original game save for some key words, names and zombie tropes.  However, with enough beer, Mountain Dew, nachos and couch sharing with your own versions of Joel, Tom Servo and Crow the sins of this movie can be absolved for about 90 minutes worth of head scratching (plot and subplot distinction, wherefore art thou?) and (probably unintentional) laughs..
There are many other female characters who are mainly dedicated to endless hen-like clucking around the protagonist's attempts to have a baby, as well as interminable conversations about hair-styles, weddings, husbands, etc. In Steel Magnolias, we see women of all generations inhabiting a world of their own. It's a world of babies, beauty, and homemaking. It's a world of things that the patriarchal societies always mark as exclusively female. Men are supposed to be detached from these "womanly" interests and concerns, while women have no interest in the pursuits of men. The view of genders as profoundly divided by an unbridgeable chasm of difference is patriarchal.

Possibly the movie's most memorable scene, is also its most gruesome. The sword fight between King Arthur (Chapman), and the Black Knight (John Cleese), is very well staged, and the gratuitous violence therein is belied by the Black Knight's complete refusal to admit defeat. Cleese himself has said, if the Black Knight acknowledged defeat, or even an injury, this would be THE MOST vicious scene in any film, and I tend to agree. Hitting someone in the shoulder with a heavy sword, and seeing their arm drop off, while arterial blood sprays from the wound, is extremely nasty, by any definition, but they ingeniously turn something as grisley as dismemberment, into a piece of classic comedy. This is something I have NEVER been able to wrap the brain around; I simply can't process it, although I understand, the members of Monty Python will go to ANY length to get a laugh, or at least a reaction, out of an audience.

3657	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Cableman Roy Neary is one of several people who experience a close encounter of the first kind, witnessing UFOs flying through the night sky. He is subsequently haunted by a mountainlike image in his head and becomes obsessed with discovering what it represents, putting severe strain on his marriage. Meanwhile, government agents around the world have a close encounter of the second kind, discovering physical evidence of otherworldly visitors in the form of military vehicles that went missing decades ago suddenly appearing in the middle of nowhere. Roy and the agents both follow the clues they have been given to reach a site where they will have a close encounter of the third kind. Powerful, mystifying, and rejuvenating. I highly recommend this movie.
The story involves Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and her new best friend (Brandy) win a trip to the Caribbean.  So off they hop to a conveniently remote island with Brandy's boyfriend and a random guy that they don't know.  The fact that's it's storm season leads to a lot of obvious plots involving people not being heard over the wind and a lot of thunder that is probably supposed to rack up tension.  There is absolutely nothing tense about this movie.  The usual round of killings ensue with a man stalking through the hotel, which is inexplicably almost empty save for a few signposted red herrings.
The movie goes along great.  The plot starts to materialize and things seem all right when all of a sudden the movie got derailed.  Right about the point where the first living dead is discovered is when the film started to take a downturn.  From then on it starts to resemble one of John Carpenter's films (particularly Ghosts of Mars.  They even have the requisite train scene at the end.  If you haven't seen this.  Don't.)  I was disappointed by this.

Anderson turned a great game series into a convoluted mess. There is no "Red Queen" killer computer in the game. No underground office workers. No Alice the Zombie Killer. The script is paper-thin. Here's a great example; Team Leader: "Report, soldier." Jovovich as Alice: "What?". Good stuff, eh? Michelle Rodriguez will make you wonder how she gets paid to act, irritating you beynd belief in the process. She plays a Vazquez-from-Aliens ripoff character, snarling the entire movie in an effort to play a tough commando chick. The rest? Uh, doesn't matter since you barely even learn any of their names. Bad zombie effects, mediocre CGI work (including some zombies), blasting music....meant as a distraction, I believe, from the awful screenplay.
There are negatives, unfortunately. If you're looking for tight choreography, well, Annie doesn't quite deliver. "Hard Knock Life" is full of acrobatics that never quite mesh, and girls whose moves should, and do not, match up. However, this incongruity usually seems limited to the dancing of the kiddos; the adult routines are downright lovely. It's like they weren't as picky with the children's accuracy, which is a bit sad.

8366	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	"Annie" was one of the best Broadway musicals of the past 30 years. It relied on content and talented performers instead of high-tech sets and lighting and un-taltented stars. Andrea McArdle as the loveable orphan was actually 13 as the perfect age to play Annie, who was I believe 12 in the stage show. She had a great voice and was tougher than the usual little girl. As Oliver Warbucks, Reid Sheldon was comic and warmhearted and as the beloved Miss Hanigan, Dorothy Loudon was a cynical, boozing broad, just as the charachter was written.

The transfer to disk is good.  The cast is excellent.  The plot makes sense, and the script is near perfect.  The story is about the relationship between Tom Hanks' character, David Basner, and his father, Max Basner.  Its a wonder that anyone comes out right as an adult, and Hanks had no idea how screwed up his childhood had been until the night his father told him his mother had split.  And soon thereafter his secretary gave him a message that his mother had called, and added "I had no idea you had parents."

Life can be a real b*tch when you haven't yet turned 18.

The story is a simple one: two hippies (Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper) riding their motorcycles cross-country to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Along the way they visit a commune, meet some girls, go to a whorehouse, and do lots and lots of drugs. They also get thrown in jail where they meet an alcoholic lawyer, terrifically played by Jack Nicholson in his breakthrough role. The trio then continues on together towards New Orleans, stopping occasionally to smoke some grass and philosophize about life. Eventually, they have a series of strange and violent conflicts with some rednecks that lead to the movie's rather abrupt conclusion.

6293	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I remember going to watch the first installment of this series with my old friend in the cinema. And I have to say it was really great and alot of fun, even if some things were a little questionable. A little while ago I watched "Resident Evil - Apocalypse" on DVD. And I found it to be very good, but it just wasn't as good as the original. Allow me to elaborate a little...
The story itself is actually pretty thin. This is a movie that is more about the lifestyle than the plot of its characters. The idea of communes and free love are not as shocking as when they first appeared, but imagine watching the ideas portrayed in this movie when it was released.

Scorsese and Schrader structure Travis' mission to save Iris as a film noir version of John Ford's late Western The Searchers , aligning Travis with a mythology of American heroism while exposing that myth's obsessively violent underpinnings. Yet Travis' military record and assassination attempt, as well as Palatine's political platitudes, also ground Taxi Driver in its historical moment of American in the 1970s. Employing such techniques as Godardian jump cuts and ellipses, expressive camera moves and angles, and garish colors, all punctuated by Bernard Herrmann's eerie final score (finished the day he died), Scorsese presents a Manhattan skewed through Travis' point-of-view, where De Niro's now-famous "You talking' to me" improv becomes one more sign of Travis' madness. Shot during a New York summer heat wave and garbage strike, Taxi Driver got into trouble with the MPAA for its violence. Scorsese desaturated the color in the final shoot-out and got an R, and Taxi Driver surprised its unenthusiastic studio by becoming a box-office hit.
What saves this particular commentary is the engaging verbal sparring of Matthew Lillard (who enters the commentary late 'cause he overslept - VERY PUNK) and Michael Goorjian (who has to leave early to catch a plane - NOT VERY PUNK). They spar with and complain to Merendino about the director's sometimes-unsafe, seat-of-the-pants filming technique, Lillard's mugging and each other's acting choices. That makes it worth a listen, but if you're looking for deeper insights into the film, you'll come away slightly disappointed.

Some have said the movie is slow.  Not so...it's deliberately paced.

9247	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	With the opening of Mike Nichols' and Eric Idle's "Spamalot" on Broadway last month, it's a good time to revisit the 1975 comedy classic that inspired the musical. Thirty years have elapsed since its original release, but it is still a movie that veers wildly back and forth between hilariously inventive and downright silly.  If you can hold on tight, it's a worthwhile ride. Almost arbitrarily about a band of adventurers looking for the famed Holy Grail, the movie is just an excuse to create a nonsensical world steeped in medieval history and comically ironic violence. Directed by Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones, it is typical Monty Python fare, which means a lot of clever wordplay and elaborate sight gags with big payoffs. The story begins with King Arthur and his page Patsy galloping on their invisible horses with their clapping coconut half-shells, as they search for worthy knights to take back to Camelot. From there, we meet a cast of characters that only makes sense in Python-land: an increasingly armless and legless Black Knight with a chip on his shoulder, a big Trojan Horse-like wooden rabbit, some disrespectful Frenchmen, castle-bound nymphomaniac maidens, the knights who dare to say "Ni!", a pedantic historian in the present day and even God, who seems rather impatient with the befuddled knights as He explains their quest for the Holy Grail. Amid these disparate elements, the film holds together as a clever satire on blind pious ignorance and the unquestioning acceptance of organized religion. The pacing gets sluggish toward the end, but the conclusion is riotous and just in time.
But this film does have the best feel of a movie adapted from a video game. The framing of the story as it progresses using 3D computer animations to show where the various characters are in "The Hive", plus the point-of-view (a la "Preditor") shots that the central computer "Red Queen" sees, give a real gaming "techno" gloss to the proceedings.

I loved this movie. The only reason I'm knocking off half a point is because the plot is super simple (though they make you feel otherwise). However, this flick serves as an awesome back story for what's to come because there have been two sequels so far (Resident Evil: Apocalypse and Resident Evil: Extinction) and a fourth one to come in 2011, currently called Resident Evil: Afterlife.

Holding it altogether is Scorsese. New York has never looked sleazier or grimier. "Taxi Driver" works because Scorsese never lets the film slip in any way. Movie buffs will recognise many small homages to different directors, but even the casual viewer will feel nailed to their seat as the walls within Travis' mind creep further and further in. A true feat of modern film making and a study in paranoia that may never be bettered, "Taxi Driver" is an important chapter in American film and one that requires repeat viewings despite its difficult and uneasy vibe. A modern classic without question.

5044	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Is there an American film more wrongly and regularly misinterpreted than Martin Scorsese's 1976 masterpiece, Taxi Driver? Not even 2001: A Space Odyssey, by Stanley Kubrick, nor Apocalypse Now, by Francis Ford Coppola, have been intellectually, politically, and critically twisted and turned away from what they really are- and this all aside and apart from the silly debates over art influencing real world violence after John W. Hinckley attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan, in 1981, due to his own obsession with actress Jodie Foster. The film has been deconstructed and reconstructed (see references to Death Wish and The Searchers) according to prevailing political and artistic whims more than several times, and matters have been further complicated by the many claims of the film's protagonists, from screenwriter Paul Schrader (is there a better example of a filmic one hit wonder?), to director Scorsese, to star Robert De Niro, the claims and counterclaims about the film have devolved into legendry.

It is an interesting and captivating look at a lonely taxi driver, who hates New York, and all of the "scum" that surrounds him. He eventually decends into madness, all the while trying to save a young prostitute from her sleazy pimp boyfriend. Jodie Foster and Harvey Keitel also give wonderful performances. Martin Scorsese has a cameo, also. Another thing: the music score by Bernard Herrmann is also a plus. It was the very last score that he ever wrote.

The movie's emotional punch even caused Stanley Kaufman, the august movie critic of The New Republic, to call Close Encounters not so much a movie as "an event in the history of faith." In more proper perspective, Gary Arnold concluded his review in The Washington Post by saying that if real aliens ever landed and they didn't resemble Spielberg's vision, "they obviously aren't movie lovers, have no romance in their souls, and to hell with `em." However you end up reacting, you'll probably agree that Close Encounters demonstrated how Spielberg was destined to become a giant of American cinema.

He has the best single line in the film when, after a major event takes place (I won't give that away), he toasts the crowd by saying, "I'd rather be with the people here tonight, than with the finest people on the planet!".

The claustrophobic sets and tight cinematography, Bernard Herrmann's curiously tasty mix of polyphony and jazz in his final score, and the ever-present foley effect of an alarm clock ticking (connoting Bickle's state of mind of mental deterioration, a human time-bomb waiting to explode) all make for a highly personal character study of this self-described "God's Lonely Man."
 Alexander B. Witt, a Chilean native, never mind his name, directed in his first time in the big chair.  He pulled it off in style and added some cool stuff, including a Zombie seen in the reflection of a police riot face mask.  He also has Milla Jovovich crash through a stained glass window on a motorcycle, jump off in a back flip then shoot the gas tank to blow up an especially nasty, bio-weapon Zombie.  That is just way cool.  In another cool bit Alice rigs up with ropes and runs down a sky scraper.  The level of filming, sound and special effects all reach the best levels.
 The characters of the movie aren't properly introduced. There is no background to them, so you don't care if they live or die. It seems that they were more focussed on getting to the gore instead of building up the movie.

It is beautifully-filmed and overflowing with the sort of natural scenery---thick dark forests, cold, free-flowing rivers, wide-open skies---that in most movies would steal the show. It also features a cast of actors, Tom Skerit,  Emily Lloyd, Craig Sheffer, Brad Pitt, giving what I will long remain convinced is the most outstanding performance of their careers. This classic 1991 motion picture (re-)tells the true story of writer Norman Maclean's youth and early adulthood nearly a century ago in the wilds of rural Montana. Norman is a deep, pensive person, in many ways the opposite of his younger brother Paul, a free-spirited daredevil whose adventurous nature is good-hearted but perilous, as everyone around him except Paul himself seems to see. Norman and Paul's father is an upstanding Presbyterian minister whose scholarly erudition and sternly eloquent sermons give way at frequent intervals to undertaking the great passion in his life: fly fishing. The Reverend Maclean loves nothing more than to take his sons to the river to fly fish for trout. On these trips the elder Maclean imparts life's lessons to the boys and passes on words of wisdom they will each go on to recall during the course of their lives.

The fire chief is really smart and has this big nose ... so he can't find the love of his life. The premise was this new guy that every girl in town thinks is a Greek god can't relate to women and needs someone to tell him what to say. He gets panic attacks if he tries to talk to them. Yet he's able to talk to with no problem with the bar-girl as if all of his problems are totally forgotten. Some of the dialog is extremely silly and not believable. The best scene was when Steve figures out 20 ways of saying someone has a big nose. The fire department was filled with a bunch of seriously screwed up guys that were more of a threat to start a fire than put one out. Still ...

The sound was a little different matter. I use a PS3 to watch BD movies with an optical cable to my Yamaha amp with only Dolby Digital decoder (no DTS decoder) so when I watch the movies I use the DD track if available. The DD core of the Dolby TrueHD track was only 448 kbps instead of 640 kbps (all other Dolby TrueHD titles that I have have a 640 kbps DD core) and it was a little underwhelming, being the same sound quality as the DD track on DVDs. But when I set up my PS3 to decode the Dolby TrueHD track as a 2 channel LPCM track the soundtrack really excelled. The film originally was mixed in Dolby surround so to use the surround processor on my amp to play the surround sound in mono on my back speakers didn't bother me. The detail in the sound, especially at the end of the film, was so rich. I know this is not a fair assessment of the Dolby TrueHD sound, but Sony should have but a 640 kbps core on the TrueHD track, like with the Spider-man trilogy. I am really looking forward to getting an amp with HDMI input to process the true HD sound from both Dolby TrueHD and uncompressed PCM BDs (and DTS-HD MA when the PS3 can decode it).

5084	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	You've got to have been in a coma for the past 30 years not to have seen this movie. Robert De Niro as Travis Bickle, the "troubled" cab driver is awesome and scary. Jodie Foster (Iris) is alarmingly sexy, Cybill Shepherd (Betsy) is dreamy, and Harvey Keitel (Sport) is the evil pimp. The big shoot-out towards the end of the film is an unforgettable "classic." Tension-building direction from Martin Scorsese. Robert De Niro - The Best.
  So now, I've watched it. And... it was clearly in trouble right off the start. In a story ABOUT how several people died on the mountain, the movie often STOPs to remind us with the narration,  that '5 people will die'. The producers obviously recognized thier inability to recreate the actual drama that happened.  I say, "Don't tell me, SHOW ME". After several scenes I was left wondering if I hadn't read the book if I would really understand what was happening.
I like that HARD TIMES doesn't try to sermonize about the human condition. That sort of message usually goes over better if it's not being beaten into your head. The movie allows you to read between the lines, lets you make connections without them being pounded into you with pretentious exposition. I like that there's a kind of code of honor amongst these shady characters. There's no real animosity among the fighters. It's all business, making money, surviving and moving on. When Speed fails to pay off his debt, he gets a visit from the loan shark's enforcers, who then takes it out on his car. Speed protests feebly, but he's just going thru the motions. He minds, but he doesn't really mind. It's what's expected. Chaney, by virtue of his enigmatic, laconic presence, achieves an almost mythic aura. He's not quite up there with the Man with No Name, but Chaney, a kindred spirit and fellow mysterious loner, can sidle up to a bar next to him and won't be rebuffed.

What is the true nature of the Divine? How does He talk to His servants? How do you know the voice of God is really the voice of God---and not something else, something malignant, the voice of a demon or possibly madness? To his credit, Besson plunges deep into this dilemma, and the opening sequences in which Joan's young visions come heralded by unearthly winds and a vision of a glowering, leering (and ultimately aging, decrepit, and senescent) Christ are unsettling and horrible, suggesting that the source of her zeal may not be divine in nature.

Although very little is revealed in the film about Chaney's past (we know he had experience as a coal miner), it becomes fairly certain that he had a lot of experience with bare knuckle fighting. We know this because he is supremely confident of his skills despite his age. Chaney is not big or ultra-muscular, but he's fearless, calmly self-controlled, doesn't bleed easy and expertly knows how to READ other fighters. Chaney's weakness is that he's a loner and doesn't talk much, hence he NEEDS Speed to do the talkin' for him and set up matches in order to make money from his uncommon skills.

This movie was very moving in a decade that just didn't have many of those. The 70s were confusing times where we had lost faith in the world. When the film begins, we are scared that something isn't right. You get the sense (or at least I did) that we are lost and there is no communication or trust and at the end of the film we learn to see our world and ourselves through innocence and love. It is clearly a fantasy film but unlike Star Wars, which was released the same year, this film is more of a statement. It's a beautiful film about as I say, childhood innocence. I always walk away from this film with hope that maybe we can change and maybe one day, we will learn to fully understand our own self and eventually, our universe.
Filmed in Quarzazate, Morocco, with its exotic ancient structures and landscapes, the cinematography by Rafaele Mertes is wonderful; this is a way above average production for television, and a film about a man who "does nothing against his conscience even on pain of death" is worth watching again and again.

Ebert goes off and gives the movie a bad review. Then he tells us that Jill drove the bike into the church. What a great critic. We know he's good. (Especially sence he obvioulsy wasn't paying attention). He also said that they were in the church fighting a whole bunch of zombies. When he said zombies, he meant those things crawling all over the walls.(obviously he wasn't paying attention). He also say there weren't a lot of those mutant things (lickers) in this one. He said the first Resident Evil had a lot....... Was he watching the movie? The first Resident Evil had one. This one had several(obviously he wasn't paying attention). Then he also said there were many tall mutants walking around(he's means Nemesis). Was he watching the movie? There was only one(obviously he wasn't paying attention). He also claims that the Nemesis was wearing body armor. He wasn't. He was wearing a leather coat. Obviously Ebert never played the game because he didn't know Nemesis could just regenerate after recieving a bullet. No matter where it hit. I think it's time Ebert stopped reviewing. He's just to old. He can't even watch movies anymore.

5531	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	When it comes to horror of any genre, Vampires don't typically sit too high on Sid's priority list. It's not that the thought of a blood craving creature isn't scary but for some reason most of these film portray vampires as being a bit fruity. However there are some exceptions to our opinion with one being the 1985 classic Fright Night. A perfect blend a scares with laughs makes this one perfect for Sid's horror Octoberfest, and even gets the vampires into the mix. This one brings back memories of being very young which always adds a lot in the way of sentimental value.
Graham Chapman is wonderful as King Arthur, despite drinking himself stupid on a daily basis, but this is where he stopped, and tried to take better control of his life. As the others have said, Heaven is now a sillier place; too bad for us, cancer is nothing to trifle with. The thing which is so effective in Chapman's work here, is he plays the role 100% straight, seemingly impervious to the silliness around him. This harkens back to his "General" from the TV show, chiding everyone around him for being "silly." There is a continuity to their entire body of work, and the astute fan always sees it right away. They have certainly created their own universe, one outsiders cannot comprehend, but those in on it, are enjoying it beyond anyone's wildest dreams.

Vincent is an In-Valid with a heart condition that sets his life expectancy to 30 years. He dreams of space exploration so what does he do? Borrows an identity from a talented-but-crippled Valid named Jerome and assumes his DNA from urine samples to heartbeats and even has to scrub off eyelashes and skin. So when a murder happens in Gattaca and Vincent accidentally leaves his own DNA, he has to somehow elude capture before going on a space trip to a distant moon while falling for one of his co-workers Irene.

8045	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	I *nearly* hated this film. I am a former film student, current film lover, reader, researcher, and all-around film nerd. But I just did not connect one iota with this dismal movie. I love BRAZIL and TWELVE MONKEYS, and enjoy much of Terry Gilliam's other work. But what in the heck IS this? There is 'good wierd' (BRAZIL) and then '[bad] wierd' of which this film is one example.  The story seems tied together in only the loosest meaning of the word. The relationships and coincidences just had me saying "COME ON!". The film seems rambling and disjointed-maddeningly so. I also found the murder scene to be horribly jarring and unecessarily grotesque. Yeah, that's my idea of a good time...
Graham Chapman is still alive to me.
The performances of Ben Kingsley  (Potiphar) and Martin Landau (Jacob) are superb, and Paul Mercurio  (Joseph), despite his necessary youth and therefore less experience, does a  good job,  although his "body language" often outdoes his spoken  one.
If you want to know what my biggest problem with this movie; it's the ending. Everything about my writing skills says it was a beautiful ending, but emotionally, I have this feeling deep inside my heart that I wish I could find out what happens to everyone.
I also love the Barbra Streisand "Love Theme..." (written just for this movie) which was played at the beginning & end of the film- it sounds a great deal like her well-received & well-done album put out two years later, "Guilty". It adds to this little-known gem nicely. A recommended view if you don't mind some nudity & violence.
 Aside from the great opening, the hole mishmash shows no insight into Joan of Arc.  After the fascinating opening--the ball is dropped and that is the director and lead actor's fault.  Lead a nation in battle? This woman can't lead a movie.

Instead of plowing its profits and R&D budget into detergents and oven cleaners, the nasty Umbrella Corporation has built itself a big bad virological bug. But as go the best laid plans of mice and men, the Big Bad Bug gets out into the uber-secret underground laboratory/think-tank/weapons factory that is the Hive, and the Hive's super-genius super-computer called the Red Queen gets all twitchy, snuffing all hands on board---with extreme prejudice.

Personally, Milla is a bit too "stereotype super model" for my taste, but she's made some great movies, few things scare me more than Romero-stlye zombies, and  the Resident Evil games are the shiznight! Especially part 2, with the delectable Claire Redfield! Anywho, Resident Evil (the movie) is a sort of prequel to the video games, so don't worry if you're unfamiliar with them. The plot goes something like this: The Umbrella Corporation is the most powerful commercial entity in the world, producing a variety of cosmetic and other type products, but making their real money off illegal scientific research and development. Their most horrific new discovery is the T-virus, a chemical agent capable of causing monstrous mutations and even bringing the dead back to life! As if that didn't make it a scary enough place to work, their main center of operations is a huge, underground research facility called "The Hive," located deep below the surface of Raccoon City. The only entrance to the facility is through the walls of a huge mansion on the outskirts of the city. The mansion is guarded by two security agents working for the company and under the guise of a newlywed couple. Everything is very well controlled and planned out, until the day the T-Virus is set loose!
The reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because in the begininng I found the plot a little hard to follow. As movie went on I stared to understand it more.

I won't go too much into the storyline. Others have done a better job at that. I will say this, however. If you like Airwolf and Blue Thunder I recommend this DVD highly.

So I was disappointed to hear the writer and professor talking that way in the features. They didn't seem to "get" the powerful potential of their own work.  Or at least it eluded them when they spoke, or perhaps it eluded them after the success of the film or the book and their claim of ownership to something permanent.  Instead they should seek to open up a discussion to viewers about how the film could communicate it's potential meaning more effectively to more people.
No explanation needed.  This is, without a doubt, one of the funniest movies ever made.  It's completely mindless and stupid, and that's why you should love it too.

  What makes Travis' journey into madness even more compelling is the portrayl of the character by Robert De Niro. As the film progresses, De Niro's fractured performance is so real, you almost feel he really is Travis Bickle, even now some 25 years since the film's release. De Niro's best scenes are when he is trying to interact with 'normal' people, like his cab driver friends, or his confrontations with Tom (Albert Brooks) - a co-worker of Betsy. The way De Niro is one step removed from these and all the other characters in the movie is a feat he has not matched since. The script by Paul Schrader is also superb. The film shifts from centering on Travis' insecurity, to his misguidance and eventually to his role as a psychotic vigilante. The dialogue is superb and each character is shaped perfectly. The film also makes use of its many smaller, but no less important roles, such as Sport the Pimp (Harvey Keitel), Wizard the cabbie (Peter Boyle), Tom and Iris (Jodie Foster). All of these characters display an on screen presence that is rarely matched by other supporting cast members.

Stunningly directed and acted, this picture is every bit as disturbing now as when released. Brilliant, but not for the faint of heart.
The basic plot deals with a an elite group of characters trained for combat who are sealed underground in a complex known as the "Hive."  A deadly neurotoxin is purposely filtered through air vents and kills all who it comes into contact with.  Supposedly.  Soon you discover than while the toxin kills unmercifully, it also reanimates the corpses of its victims!  Think Frankenstein en masse set loose in a labrinyth.

5172	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	In 1976, Martin Scorsese directed "Taxi Driver", starring Robert DeNiro. Calling this a "conservative" movie is a stretch, but it is a prescient look at New York attitudes that preceded the age of Giuliani. Paul Schrader wrote it. His story is a hoot in and of itself. He and his brother were raised in a strict Calvinist Pennsylvania family, emphasizing the strictest tenets of Scripture and absolutism. The Calvinists are big on pre-ordained destiny. Released from this environment, he came to Hollywood and tried everything. Naturally, he was a mess; a drug addict, an alcoholic and a heterosexual so confused he tried homosexuality just...to try it. Given the assignment to write a screenplay, he was holed up in a downtown L.A. hotel for weeks, then months. He had little social contact except occasional taxi rides to restaurants in and around L.A.'s skid row. He began to see the world from inside the taxi, and came up with a character and a plot revolving around the concept.

(2000's WHAT LIES BENEATH probably made money, but few credit Ford's presence in that thriller for its success; possibly it was a hit due to the well-tuned script and the expert direction by Robert Zemeckis. In any case Michelle Pfeiffer--another star of the 1990s whose career has gone sadly awry--deserves half the credit as well.)  Otherwise it's like a list of one disaster after another.  K-19 THE WIDOWMAKER?  Dead in the water.  HOLLYWOOD HOMICIDE?  Not a bad show but the public stayed away in droves.  RANDOM HEARTS?  When you look up "catastrophe" in the dictionary you get a still from this movie.  SIX DAYS SEVEN NIGHTS?  Awful.  WATER TO WINE (2004)?  Even his fans don't know what it is!  I'm not sure FIREWALL will break the curse either, it sounds like a re-tread of an earlier Ford flop called FRANTIC.

6128	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Yes, everyone is entitled an opinion. This is a story or Billy Hayes who got caught trying to smuggle hash out of Turkey. Yes, he got caught and yes, he was punished. Should the punishment fit the crime? I don't think  that the punishment fit the crime.  I don't think that this movie was  bashing any country in general. It let us know that one country's  definition of crime and punishment may differ from another.  Rent or buy  this movie---watch it a couple of times---did the punishment fit the crime?  He was initially sentenced to 5 years-his case was then reviewed 3 years  later and he was sentenced to 20 years. Isn't this punishment in itself?  The fact that they could "play with his sentence" and punish him  for the same crime more than once.  I think that Billy paid his dues by  just knowing this fact.  This move defines the meaning of MERCY.
6518	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	RESIDENT EVIL: APOCALYPSE begins almost immediately where RESIDENT EVIL ended. The movie gives us a few details surrounding the incidents from the first movie:  Umbrella people opening the Hive which unleashes the zombies infected with the T-virus, Umbrella rounding up their top scientists to evacuate from Raccoon City, what exactly happened to Alice and Matt Addison after they escaped the Hive, etc. Then the fun really begins. The movie jumps around quite a bit as it follows several different characters in several different places scattered throughout the city who don't start meeting up with each other until about half-way through the movie. Jill Valentine and Carlos Olivera (heroes from the Resident Evil video games) have major roles in the film, teaming up with Alice and a few other stragglers as they attempt to escape the city before Umbrella nukes the place to kill off the T-virus before it spreads any further.
The DVD sort of helps you understand each episode and the odd aspects of British law if you listen to the authors set up segments that come before each program starts.  Rumpole is in a class by himself, for this is light comedy, drama, legal theme show and commentary all in one.  I would suggest that you buy the Rumpole play on a seperate DVD that inspired the Rumpole series.  Also another must BUY is the following book: Rumpole and the Penge Bungalow Murders.  This was indeed Horace Rumpoles first finist hour when he proved his client not guilty of capital murder of two war heros one his own dad.  Rumpole was but a junior white wig barrister with hardly a year of real life law experience under his belt at the time.  It was during these heady times that he fell into the loving embrace of his soon to be good lady wife Hilda.  Rumpole did hardly realized he had fell into Hilda's web but Hild a strong willed woman who once saw what she wanted she was not stopped.  Hilda felt she could make something of her Rumpole and she did.  Rumpole never became a QC or a circut (circus judge) but he stood for the best in law that all should be represented in court by an aggressive barrister who believed in their clients innocence.  Rumpole a self described old Baliey hack was a soldier in the army of good that gives to all acused a fair chance before the law.
In conclusion, Air Force One will definitely please most fans of far-fetched action packed high explosive films while simultaneously satisfying the technical crowd who thoroughly enjoy seeing their films being treated in a careful and respectful manner.

No faults can be said of this fine cast. Samantha Morton is superb and believable as Jane. Gemma Jones (Last Tango in Halifax) plays Mrs Fairfax here, and has been a favorite of ours since she starred in `The Duchess of Duke Street.'
  Funny and certinaly bizzare that I haven't seen a good film with this theme in a long, long while, unless we consider braindead disasters like "Independence day" contenders.
It appears that many people prefer the recent TV version of "Annie" with Alicia Morton because the plot is faithful to the Broadway musical version. That may be true, but in my opinion that remake did not stand the slightest chance against the acting of this 80's version. Albert Finney and Aileen Quinn work beautifully alongside one another, with Finney giving a perfect portrayal of a workaholic man who is constantly seeking to push Annie away but eventually recognizes that she is the daughter he always needed. Ann Reinking (Grace Farrell) plays the nurturing motherly role to a "T," and of course, the classic and hysterical Carol Burnett helps Miss Hannigan steal every single scene she is in. The orphans are all well cast, each with their own distinct personalities and all notably expressive in front of the camera. (They really did get lucky with the kids in this movie; all of them were very genuine and a talented group of little actresses). A beautiful story indeed, brought to life impeccably on screen and a pure joy to watch. It's one of those movies that truly does just make you smile, and the approach these actors took with their roles is the main reason for that.

But despite the controversy (which Oliver Stone and even the real Billy Hayes have regretted the film's depiction of the Turks), the film was well-known for its powerful performances and its powerful storyline.

Certainly this is not some cheesy modern remake that tries to be hip and cool; instead it modernizes the tale in a way that is very "Dickenseque."

Dolly Parton is her usual big hair, big smile, big **** self as the lead hairdresser.

Token black girl living was only a treat for virgin white girl because no one else really cared about her character.

The second part of the film (once Alice appears) is slightly better than the completely useless first 40 minutes, but the operative word here is "slightly". There is a couple of good action scenes, but they are few and short.

That said, despite some fine moments, the show begins to look tired in this season. Right away, the Hartleys move -- but only to an apartment on a different floor! So nothing really is changed except the decor and some of the off-screen layout. Howard is still THERE all the time, which becomes more and more ridiculous (even the new title sequence seems to poke fun at this) and I swear he  was made dumber and dumber as the series went on, resulting by season six  in a Howard Borden man-child personna  who is no longer a believable adult character (this man is a navigator for an airline?!?).  The plotlines and stories seem a bit shop-worn and many episodes near the end of the run  just trail off without any big topper or clear resolution.  Finally, and most unforgivable, Bob seems to be literally phoning in his appearances to the point of hardly even showing up in many episodes. Was it a sarcastic message to viewers,  how often the token Bob Newhart scene in a host of episodes is him on the phone in an airport or hotel, checking in with Emily?  Three minutes of Bob doesn't even allow for a decent "Hi, Bob" drinking game!
Bottom line the movie version of "Girl" is a mess-which can be guessed without even viewing. Made-for-cable movies back in 1998 were generally lousy and not the mix of quality that they are in 2005.

To say that the acting in this movie was good would be a slight over-statement, and the dialogue is not what one would call stellar.  I would not be so certain about the accuracy of the movie either--few movies are.

As I stated earlier, "Resident Evil:  Apocalypse" is simply a better film than its predeccesor, in terms of acting, storytelling, pacing, and action.  To be fair, "Resident Evil" is merely the opening chapter to this much bigger story that is told in "Resident Evil:  Apocalypse", and in truth, neither of the two films hold up on their own.  Director Alexander Witt brings his valuable experience as a much respected 2nd Unit Director from his previous film experiences, "Gladiator" and "The Bourne Identity" to name a couple, giving the material a more mature, polished appearance that the original film lacked.  The special effects, including the practical and make-up effects, are all improved in "Resident Evil:  Apocalypse".  A very good decision was made in having the Nemesis monster not be just another CGI character, but be a physical man in a suit, it is with the Nemesis character that the make-up and practical effects team really shined.  The acting and storytelling were much improved from the original film, and the addition of Jill Valentine and Carlos Olivera from the video games was an especially nice touch.

On one hand, CE3K is based upon just enough facts and evidence (with credibility) about the UFO/ET phenomenom (continuing to present day) to effectively suspend disbelief in the audience, but is filled with amazing and eye candy CGI special effects to realize that vision of those crazies who have been contacted.  And those who have yet not.  Except for the original Apocalypse Now (not the crappy and detracting "redux"), this is almost a "perfect film" in every way.  Especially for "Hollyweird."

This is one you will find yourself regularly popping in the player for a revisit of the haunting music, great acting, and scary as hell zombies and other creatures. This is by far one of my favorite horror movies. Well thought out screenplay, excellent directing, and super music score. I give it a high recommendation. I haven't owned a console game since the first Nintendo, but this movie has tempted me to buy a new one even though I prefer the PC versions. By the way I did not care for the last Final Fantasy movie, but I'm sure game console gamers may. This movie although possibly not as appreciated by those with game consoles, will definitely be appreciated by Horror/SciFi movie fans. I recommend the sequel as well. Although not quite as scary, still quite good in the action department.

8127	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I saw a special on PBS about the making of this movie.  The story focused on the choreography mostly.

The story is admirably supported by the gorgeous Ms Jovovich, complete in knee-length boots and a strappy red dress, who literally kicks ass. She is ably assisted by a SWAT team which includes Colin Salmon, and Michelle Rodriguez adds a little more killer-chick eye-candy to the ensemble. Eric Mabius and James Purefoy also tag along, but the film is really all about Mila and the zombies and that is, perhaps, where the film suffers a little. This central theme is diluted by all the trappings of the computer game that the director felt he had to squeeze in: the all-powerful Umbrella Corporation, the computer system gone bad, the theft of the zombie virus and some nonsense about genetically engineered creatures ("Lickers" I think? and in the second film the Nemesis creature) on the loose. I suppose that some viewers may also fret that there is a bit too much of the leading lady and not enough zombie peril, but I have always been of the opinion that you can't ever see too much of Mila Jovovich (and you can parse that statement however you like).

The newer, more modern, series is also good, but sadly it was not renewed so it really does not have an ending, happy or otherwise. I was really looking forward to see how England survived WWII. Perhaps they will rethink the decision to cancel it and bring it back. These, like then, are hard times we live in, and it always helps to see a good drama to make you feel better.
9438	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This movie probably is the funniest movie ever made.  I'm completely serious.  No movie is quoted nearly as often -- for crying out loud, it came out 25 years ago and people still recognize lines from it.  You will start laughing in the first minute or two, and will not stop laughing, or even slow down, for the entire duration of the film.  I have often wondered how these Monty Python guys ever came up with so much random hilariousness.
Overall, Fright Night is one of the best films that the 1980's had to offer and also, one of the best horror films ever made. If you are a fan of horror, comedy or both, this movie is for you and if you saw this movie back in the day and enjoyed it then, get the DVD so you can rediscover it and enjoy it once again. No fan of horror, comedy or both should be without this classic film of the 1980's, which helped define what the 1980's were all about. This is must have for anyone who loves films of the 1980's and lovers of horror films, lovers of comedy films or both.

Though no characters from the game appear the characters in this film are very strong and so are the actors who play them. The licker in this film is so intense looking, just like in the game. Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez are great as the two female leads. My favorite scene is the dog scene. From the director of Event Horizon, Mortal Kombat, and Alien vs. Predator. Highly Recommended.

As much as I really wanted to dislike I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, I, unfortunately, couldn't. This film has very bad reviews and didn't do excellently at the box office, but it isn't, surprisingly, as bad as it is supposed to be. It's not the teen-kill movie for everyone, but it held my interest, and is a pretty solid modern horror movie.
The Spice Girls themselves are sporting enough to put themselves through any sort of gag. They always kid themselves and each other and preach "Gil Powah," while Posh herself already shows her interest in clothes. And of course they sing their greatest hits, which aren't too bad, though the lyrics being subtitled means you could risk having those syrupy-sweet songs being stuck in your head for some time.

Directed by Tom Holland, "Fright Night" offers loads of humor, horror and suspense yet many of todays younger audience will probably find this movie dated. After all, it has none of todays technical wizardry that is CGI. It appears every Fantasy, Science-Fiction and Horror film of today is saturated with it. I personally do not mind CGI if it is well done and in a fantasy element but so far, every attempt to create decent fright effects in horror films have failed miserably and I strongly feel that CGI is aiding in the death of the horror genre. I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to revisit these films. The special effects are brilliant and there is nothing more effective than seeing 3 dimensional beings in terrific vampire make-up. Apparently Chris Sarandon spent several hours in the make-up chair (gotta love those elongated fingers) and I am sure Amanda Bearse and Stephen Geoffreys, the other 2 vampires, did too but the end result was probably worth it as "Fright Night" is one of the most enjoyable vampire films Hollywood has given us in the last few decades. Just like Joe Dante's classic "The Howling" and John Landis' epic "An American Werewolf in London" which still reign supreme as far as werewolf movies are concerned, the same can be said for this gem.
I don't want to ruin the movie for those of you who haven't seen it. But there is a nice 60s charm; there is the right amount of action; the right amount of story; and a nice amount of internal trouble where we should feel safe; and the comedy is well balanced too. And the final showdown between John Steed and Sean Connery is very well done. Also worth mentioning is that John Steed and Mrs Peel work together well without stomping over each other.
6822	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Resident Evil is a scary, exciting, and fun horror/action film. Fans of the game will appreciate the suspense, and detail that Paul Anderson put into the movie. Starring the amazing Milla Jovovich, the tough Michelle Rodriguez, and the future `nemesis' Eric Mabius, Resident Evil's cast performs very well. Even though the plot is based on a video game, it is still solid, and believable. Another selling point is all the bonus features that the DVD has. With movie comments by Anderson, Jovovich, and Rodriguez, several featurettes, and a Slipknot music video, the DVD provides hours of entertainment, and behind the scenes insight. I look forward to the sequel, Resident Evil: Nemesis, which comes out next year. If you are a fan of the games, or you just want a fun, and action-packed DVD, then Resident Evil is for you.

 I'm glad Roddy McDowall agreed to do this film and the sequel. This film is made with class, style and great well-made special effects. Great soundtrack too. On the DVD, I am sorry to say there is no audio commentary, no special features or bonuses, no cast reunion. You do get the choice of Widescreen or Full Screen on either side of the disc. I recommend Full-Screen. The beginning of the film will be in Widescreen because of the titles and credits but will become Full-Screen, if you chose the Full-Screen side.

The other scene also involves Parry and Lydia, who are this time joined by Jack (Jeff Bridges) and Anne (Mercedes Ruehl).  After scheming to get Lydia to come to dinner with them, Jack and Anne sit back to watch Parry try and woo her.  His does so in the most childlike and endearing way: by imitating her clumsiness, her awkwardness, and her shyness.  It's a mostly wordless scene, punctuated by the sight of dropped dumplings, Parry's stirring rendition of "Lydia the Tattooed Lady", and Jack and Anne themselves getting caught up in the romance.

If the characters in 'Bottle Rocket' were children, the whole thing would seem a lark.  A young man, Anthony, is released from a mental hospital, where he was rocovering from 'exhaustion'; he is met by his high-wired friend Dignan, who bombards him with blueprints for the next 50 years of their lives.  They plan a heist on a book store, bringing in a rich friend, car-owning Bob, frequent victim of his beefy older brother's bullying.  This is intended to impress the Kafkaesque figure of Mr. Henry, a landscape-gardener-...-ganglord.  They cross states 'on the lam' for a while, where Anthony falls in love with Inez, a cleaner from Paraguay with little English.  Bob, his brother arrested for drug-dealing, goes back with the car.  Frustrated by failed love and broken dreams, Anthony and Dignan have a fight, Anthony returning home to relative normality.  Then Dignan turns up in a yellow boiler-suit, with the big plan that's going to turn their lives...

Special features are a let down I'm sorry to say.  There really isn't any.  You get two trailers, which are not in HD.  And you get an isolated music score by Brad Fiedel which is AWESOME.  Fright Night has my all time favorite synth score, with Carpenter's Escape From New York right under it.  The package comes with a four page booklet with an essay going into depth of the merrits of the film in horror history.  The essay is penned by Julie Kirgo and she does a really good job of praising this film.  She hits the nail on the head regarding how much is really going on tin the subtext of this film beyond the in jokes, fun characters, gore, and frights.  The only problem is that she spends a decent amount of time talking about the gay undertones of the film.  This I don't understand.  I don't think there are any.  In retrospect you can place them there, but I don't see them there naturally.  I don't think Jerry's relationship with his live in carpenter Billy is homoerotic AT ALL.  Sorry.  Billy is Jerry's version of Refield.  That's it.  She also goes into the gay undertones involving the character of Evil Ed.  Again, I just don't think it's there.  I think he's an outcast due to his quirks and personality and nerdiness.  Jerry offers him power, not sex.  Now the actor who played Evil Ed went on to do gay porn and that's common knowledge to most horror fans at this point, but that has NOTHING to do with the film at hand.  I think some people like to place it there in retrospect due to the actor's career decisions.  Whatever.
What a way to show the events that led up to the best RPG game series that Capcom has ever created.  Alice is a kick-butt heroine and if they were to keep creating Resident Evil movies, I would want her to come back and play Jill Valentine (for all those who know Resident Evil 1 and Nemesis)
 I'm not even gonna start with praising the movie. I wouldn't be writing this review if I didn't consider this one of the funniest films ever made. Fact of the matter is if you haven't heard of Monty Python (You poor idiot) this is the best film to start you off with. The humor is manic, intelligent, and incredibly unorthodox. Never in your life will you ever encounter anyone or anything else with this brand of humor. This is what you get when you combine five british comedic geniuses and one american animator with some whacked out visions. You get this comedy masterpiece. Also fact of the matter when it comes to a comedy of this caliber, accept no less than the best when DVD's are involved. This DVD has everything even little Lego figures singing and dancing.

"The Fisher King", like no other film in Gilliam's catalog, hits me on an emotional level.  It is a visceral experience, unlike anything else I've seen from this offbeat director.

3718	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Home video is quite a temptation for directors. It allows them to go back play with, alter, tamper and second guess themselves. We get three versions via seamless branching on Blu-ray on one disc with a disc of extras and the films presented with extras over three discs on DVD allowing us to see Spielberg's thoughts on "CE3K" over three different decades. The latest 30th Anniversary edition allows writer/director Steven Spielberg to fix flaws in "CE3K" that have bothered him for years about the film. The original theatrical version editing he felt was rushed and unfinished while the "Special Edition" deleted some key scenes and added a completely unnecessary trip inside the Mothership (something he later regretted). --he's edited it again (it's 2 minutes longer with some scenes lengthened and others shortened plus the trip inside the Mothership has been left to the audience's imagination). The "Director's Cut" works better than both versions; Spielberg has licked some of the pacing issues that dogged the original film and he has eliminated the gaudy trip inside the ship. For those fans who HAD to see the inside of the ship we still get that edition of the film which is a good thing--this is the most comprehensive version of "CE3K" released. This is the definitive version(s)of the film.

British gold is the high bidder, Joan will go to Rouen for trial as a heretic. The Bishop asks her to answer questions. Will Joan see her visions again? Did she see what she wanted to see? Joan is questioned at her trial. Her answers are popular with the people. Can they convict her? What is she had been sent by God? Joan never killed anyone, she said. As expected, she is found guilty of heresy and other sins. The College of Paris agreed with the judgment. [Corporate flunkies?] Will she recant her beliefs? She uses an "X" as an signature.

The action is great and  the comedy is just right for an Arnold flick, although there's a bigger  focus on it than most of his other action flicks.  Not only that, but, to  go with the cheesy one-liners is a stereotypical, nearly one dimensional  villain.  This is not a negative...it fits right in with the feel of the  movie.

Jack is a former radio shock-jock, whose off-handed remark drove a listener to spray a yuppie restaurant with bullets.

He's slimy and selfish when on top of the world.  Dirty, dreary, and dead inside when stuck in the gutter (a side curiosity: I count eight times Bridges has played a character named Jack, and that doesn't even include the surname of his character in the "Last Picture Show" movies).

For those Amazon friends that know me, I am a motorcycle enthusiast.  I love and have a passion for all motorcycles from dirt, speed and street.  I currently have a custom Harley (I had the photo of it on my profile, but had to remove it).  I do ride it on the dangerous streets in the city where I live.  If you never rode, as the driver, you cannot appreciate the feeling---being on the back is not the same.  Motorcycle riding has given me plenty of confidence, and it has taught me to be a better driver in a car or a boat.  When I have a bad day or week (which is currently happening), I hop on the bike and it's amazing---your problems disappear (for the moment).  I was taught to ride by a guy I was supposed to marry who was a motorcross racer, but it didn't work out.  I was a young stupid kid then and if I continued that way I would have surely been a statistic.  My husband, Darrell, suggested I learn the right way all over again.  I enrolled in a course.  I had the most incredible teacher who did not make fun of me or get angry during class and was very patient.  I am 5'3" and weigh about 100 pounds---pretty small to hold up a Harley.  He saw I was determined and cheered me on. Long after, when I had my accident he went over with me on how it happened, never ridiculing, but still teaching.  I wouldn't have been hurt had I had on my proper riding gear.  This one person, my teacher, Daniel David Jorasz was killed on his bike this past week, riding the right way.  A b@#ch lost control of her car trying to avoid a ladder, spun her car around on the freeway and hit Dan ("Double D") head on, he was killed instantly.  Proper riding attire didn't matter, though.  Please, if you drive a car avoid driving with a cell phone attached to your ear or under the influence or any other distractions, you never know what could happen and you could kill an innocent person. Also, respect and look out for motorcycles they share the road too...

So there's not much of a point in commenting on the classic scenes that will keep you in stitches, from the opening credits (beware the moose!) to the final encounter at the Castle of Aaaaaarrrrrrrrrgh.

494	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This film is a recounting of the Genesis tale of Joseph.  Joseph is the most loved son of his father, and has a gift for prophecy.  His older brothers hate him because of it and sell him into slavery.  Joseph winds up in Egypt where he eventually becomes the second most powerful man in the kingdom after the Pharoah.  During a famine, Joseph's brothers come to Egypt begging for grain, not knowing that the man who will decide their fate is their brother (whom they believe to be dead).  This is one of a series of made for TV movies about important figures in the Old Testament.  I've previously reviewed several other stories in this series, but this is the best of a strong series in my view.  The acting is top notch, and I found the final confrontation between Joseph and his brothers to be particularly moving and well done.  Like many of the films in this series, it is a story about faith and perserverance.  The writer and producer did a particularly good job of fleshing out the story of Joseph from Genesis without adding lots of non-Biblical threads.  One thing that I like about this movie (and about the series as a whole) is that they are not overdone.  These aren't special effects-laden films with casts of thousands, but rely on writing and good acting to convey the tale.  The sets and the costumes are realistic and give the film a Biblical feel without being ostentatious.  The bottom line is that this is, in my opinion, the way that the Bible should be brought to film.
Overall, Taxi Driver was a shockingly, scary movie about loneliness in a big city filled with crimes and other unpleasantness. After watching the film once, I couldn't get it out of my mind. At one point I sympathized with De Niro's character, then by the end, I was shocked at what he did.

To the critics harping on sexually explicit, blah blah, gimme a break. There were no sexually explicit scenes in the film. Everything was very "PG-13" if not lower. If you call that sexually explicit then you should be censoring Songs of Solomon in the Bible which gives some steamy accounts from Solomon to his "lover," or better yet, you should censor Jesus Christs crucifixion, which was very R-rated (being beaten, flogged, and nailed to a cross seems R-rated to me). Christianity focuses on the heart before appearances so lets all appreciate this great adaptation of Joseph's life. Great film!

7933	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Ive been finding myself reflecting on Robin Williams since the news of his tragic suicide broke a few days ago.  Its always moments like this when you start to appreciate what is lost, and when you seriously examine Williamss work, its instantly apparent what tremendous talent the man had.  As an improvisational comic, Williams was without equal.  The man was lighting fast, and could instantaneously invent comedic routines far superior to the ones other established comics refined and revised for years.  I imagine Williamss mind started to run hot as he hit the full stride of his stream-of-consciousness mania; his words came out so loud and fast that it got almost to the point of being intimidating.  However, no matter how crazy his commentary became it was always clear that there was a sincere humanitarian at the controls  and he never descended into insulting individuals or generalized groups.  Williams found enough absurdity in the human condition, and though that does seem like an eternal wellspring of inspiration, its surprising how many comedians have to cheat to get attention.

It's a really fun movie.  Sawa does a great performance fighting his hand, there are times when he has some long bits of dialogue while he's looking at the camera or another character and fighting his hand at the same time, that you try just doing the hand part yourself while watching and your arm and wrist becomes quite sore after a while, so it's actually quite impressive what he achieves. Seth Green and Elden Henson as slacker zombies also are brilliant. Jack Noseworthy also brilliantly plays one of those 30 year olds who still trying to score with high school chicks, hanging around bowling alleys and fast food outlets in his oversized wheeled Ford .  He has a line to one, "still in high school, yeah I left a few years ago myself" which is hilarious when he doesn't seem to realise they know exactly how old he is.  But it's the canine actor who steals the show early on.  His mouth is shaped to just look like he's giving a what the? expression well when his stoned master is doing weird stuff.  When he's not moving getting pushed on the tiles in front of the scared slacker teen, with his head moving around saying I don't want to be doing this, as he is being used as a shield if there's an intruder is also extremely well done on the dog's part.  The actor's probably not with us anymore nearly twenty years into the future, but I'd love to know what other movies he appeared in to check them out.  The only actors (and it's probably more so the script than them) were the two cops, who didn't seem realistic at all.

That company unleashed a deadly virus and the team has a minimal three hours before it threatens to spread. Resident Evil manages to keep the audience entertained by killer zombies, flesh looking dogs, and a laser room (just to name a few). The acting is decent and the movie has a few good scares. This is one of the best horror movies I have seen in quite some time. I encourage you to go see it.

*The French attack.... verbally. ("Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!")

Jeff Daniels is excellent as Washington pulling his dispirited troops together for a decisive action.  Washington was taking a great risk, maybe the biggest of his career; by making a winter attack.  Armies of this time, rarely, if ever, fought in the winter and Washington was going against convention by doing so.  He was also conducting an amphibious operation which is one of the hardest operations to perform in warfare.  Here the cooperation of others was critical.  If the men under Colonel John Glover were unable/unwilling to give their all, Washington might just as well have stayed in camp.  No boats, no action fairly well sums it up.  Washington's troops could have muddled through and affected a crossing, but the element of surprise, I am sure would have been lost and no surprise meant a harder and more doubtful battle.  Glover is the true unsung hero of the battle and it is good to see him recognized as such.

And sure enough, something comes along that is as good and many times better. The human condition is so varied and multi-faceted that one may never exhaust all the permutations of artistic expression that can be shown. For example, when the TV science fiction hit "Star Trek" came out I thought it was so fantastic. But when "ST The Next Generation" came along, I had serious doubts that it could match the original. Then, as I marveled at the story lines and the extra dimension of character interactions, I felt that TNG is better and can't be topped. With each iteration something new was introduced that explored the vastness of human interaction and inter-species interactions. Etc., Etc.

For BOTTLE ROCKET defies any attempt at classification, any assault on its originality and creativity by placing it neatly in a box. It is neither a comedy nor a drama; not a love story nor a crime flick. It blends all of these genres--along with a pinch of classic Americana--into a very unique, delightful movie. Yet it is also a deliciously messy enigma: a loosely strung-together melange of brillance and childishness, high and pop art, profundity and absurdity. By the film's conclusion, I knew I had seen something special, a truly inspired and deeply personal work.

I suppose the best thing about this type of Christmas classic is that when people my age view it they can escape back to their innocent youth for a short while. Even though I now own the vhs of SCICTT and soon will purchase the DVD I make myself and my kids wait until Christmas season to watch it. It's not quite the same as when I was a kid but anticipation still increases the viewing pleasure once we do watch it.
Still, credit where credit is due. At the very least, Gattaca did have some interesting ideas and a well-realized vision of the future that felt very plausible and saved the film from being absolutely awful. After a great opening though, it devolved into a flat thriller which ultimately nose-dived at the finale, squandering the potential it had to be a great, thought-provoking sci-fi film.

I never even heard of Jill Valentine until I played "Marvel Vs Capcom 2" for my SEGA Dreamcast. But my older brother, the "Resident Evil" savant, has been filling me in on the games storyline since we first heard about Constantin Films making this into a movie.
This is typical 80's action flick that came out the same time as "Top Gun", they were about 6 months apart. It is a decent way to waste a lazy weekend afternoon when there is nothing else on TV or for a road trip. Although it can get to be a bit hollywood patrotic at times, it is still good fun to watch. Listening to all the good music too during the flying scenes are good as well.
With all that said, I can't help but think Michelle Pfieffer's character was slightly and oddly out of whack when she first reacted to her young son getting kidnapped in a crowded area.  Her immediate reaction was confusion and only a slight bit of worry.  Considering how many people were around, and given the fact her son was only 4 years old, it's hard to believe she wouldn't freak out more.  As harsh as this might sound, I'm almost glad she eventually responded with a nervous breakdown when the reality set in that her son is actually missing.  This scene saves the whole segment.

4006	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	(spoilers)  For a movie with a schlock quotient this high (Julia Roberts teaching step daughter to be cool, Susan Sarandon dancing wildly to Marvin Gaye in pajamas with her two children), this movie nonetheless achieves a breathtaking and memorable level of honesty, in a few, very few, but amazingly poignant scenes.  To wit -- the scene where Ed Harris brings the dying Susan Sarandon a christmas tree, long after they have separated.  The scene which Julia Roberts confronts Susan Sarandon with some evidence of her duplicity and challenges her to obtain the truth:  "Are you dying/" and Susan Sarandon  looks her straight in the eye and says "Not today."  Those two words have become a kind of personal mantra for my husband and me, and in my estimation, this mere chickflick has approached the epitome of unsentimental veracity, for a few moments only, but what moments! --These few scenes rescue the movie from the heap of  terminal illness schlock.  I almost hate to admit it, but based on these few scenes alone this movie ranks with my top ten all time . . . . (and I admit I am a sucker for nearly anything with Ed Harris in it.)

Of course, the story is unrealistic, a bit on the crazy side, but worth the watch if you miss the old-time romantic comedies that we rarely see nowadays.  Interesting to read Roger Ebert's take on the movie alluding to that fact back in 1994 that it was reminiscent of romantic comedies with Doris Day.  "I suppose Doris Day is out of fashion, and so are movies like Only You, but just because something is not done anymore doesn't mean it's not worth doing."

Another thing I should point out is that "The Passion" is NOT child friendly. "Jesus of Nazareth" is in the middle. It's certainly nowhere near the brutality of "The Passion." But 6 1/2 hours may be too much to show some children. One great thing about this film with Brian Deacon is that it is really child friendly. The lessons are there and drawn accurately from "Luke." And the suffering of Good Friday is there, but not overdone  as in "The Passion."

The film is derived from a popular video game franchise, which would explain why the plot feels jumbled, or why its characters feel flaccid and empty. It begins with an introduction that is aggravating in its choice of leaving too much in the dark to be explained later in a less-than-admirable manner. The world is dominated by major corporations, many of which deal in such things as genetic and viral testing and experimentation. In a series of chain reactions, an underground laboratory known as the Hive is contaminated by a viral strand, after which its computer, referred to as the Red Queen, begins the containment process, locking its hundreds of employees within the complex, and extinguishing them.
"Never, Never Say Die" - A man is accidentally run down by a car and killed... but then he "escapes" off the exam table when the doc isn't watching! Steed and Mrs. Peel really get suspicious when he is killed a second time, by the same means, and later shows up causing a LOT of trouble. This macho guy also seems much affected by radio waves which leads The Avengers to discover that the man is an android and that more such android "doubles" of important people are infesting the local community. The bonus of this episode is that it stars the great Christopher Lee!

The film highlights two dance pieces, "Aureole" and "Piazzolla Caldera," and even though they aren't seen in their entirety, there is no diminishment in their strength and beauty.  Mr. Diamond, who has also directed episodes of PBS's "Great Performances," was adept at interspersing the contrasting performance film (color) with studio footage (black and white) so that the two meshed perfectly.  The editing during the dance numbers was the best I've ever seen, incorporating both the more typical audience vantage point with the more dramatic on-stage perspective from amongst the dancers.  The proximity and the viewing angles were stunning; a wonderful surprise.  There's also a fair amount of footage from the Paul Taylor Dance Archives, showing a younger Mr. Taylor and company performing signature works.

6529	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Based on a computer game, Resident Evil actually looks like a computer game:  the characters run around in a maze-like environment, shooting zombies and mutants while a standard video game soundtrack hums in the background.  There isn't much of a plot, just enough to establish why the zombies are there.  Admittedly, with two characters with amnesia and a possible traitor in the group, there is room for a plot twist, but any revelations are mere diversions from the killings.

Scorcese's confounding lack of character development, a gratuitous and underdeveloped plot, grimy violence, and lurid musical score contribute to a sludgy mess that gained accolades over the years primarily due to its cutting edge approach to the subject matter.

"Idle Hands" is perfectly adorable on all counts and entertains scandalously: don't be alarmed by the 90210-ish packaging or the blurbs that make this thing out to be an innocent romantic comedy.
This movie, no matter how many times you see it, holds you spellbound.  Everyone was brilliant in this.  Speilberg's directing, Dreyfuss's acting (his performance in Jaws was damn good, but nothing compared to this), Terri Garr's acting, John Williams' musical score (somebody give him a lifetime achievement award, or better yet, three), and Paul Schrader-that's right, Paul Schrader's-brilliant screenplay.  Yep, the man who brought you such masterpieces as Taxi Driver as wrote this.  Speilberg rewrote it so much, though (probably because it was too dark, as Schrader's work tends to be), and Schrader said he didn't want anything to do with the new script.  Regardless of who wrote it, it's perfect and entertaining as all hell.

It doesn't matter what state you live in or what kind of band, groupies always remain the same.  Its this feeling that is so wonderfully captured.  Its a coming of age story for teenage girls.

Vincent locates Jerome Morrow (Jude Law), a former Olympic athlete now living in isolation, and confined to a wheelchair after an accident caused by his own drunkenness.  Morrow has a stellar DNA profile that puts him in the 99th percentile of the population. His bitterness over his lost glory and hopeless future persuade him to "lend" his DNA profile to Vincent.  This transfer requires Vincent, among other things, to have his legs lengthened in painful operations so that he is as tall as Morrow, and to change his appearance in other ways in order to resemble Morrow's photo ID and genetic description as far as possible.  Vincent has to have dental work done, has microscopically fine fingerprint covers made, scrubs off as much of his own body hair and skin cells as possible each day, and carries Jerome's urine around with him, as company employees have to submit to a urine test every day, designed to detect just this kind of deception.  Vincent even puts a few of Jerome's hairs on the comb he keeps in his desk drawer, in case of a routine check.
The movie involves the government searching for UFO evidence and the everyday people who see the UFO's who didn't go seeking them. While the government searches merely on scientific facts to make contact, the "everyman" characters develop an artistic talent either through art or music to lead them to contact. Those two sides finally clash before both making contact and realizing how they came together and how they were all "invited" to make contact.

But hey, that was the 60s, so maybe I was just reacting to the times.
None of the movies Andrew Niccol has made since "Gattaca" have even come close to this level of skill -- the movie is a slow, elegant winding of murder mystery and philosophical sci-fi. The plot quietly grows in tension as Vincent's life becomes more tangled up in lies and suspicion, with quietly powerful dialogue laced with dry humor ("I guess we can rule out suicide," comments a cop as they bag a bloodied keyboard).

Each story is great in itself. They blend the courtroom drama and eclectic court characters with Horace Rumpole's investigative techniques even as he attempts to defend those who sometimes are the guilty, or at least appear so. He fights for the little guys, and his wife, Hilda (known to Rumpole as She Who Must Be Obeyed) keeps him cornered on the home front. You will get hooked on this lovable barrister (courtroom defender) who to the criminally retched is a sort of Robin Hood of The Bailey (criminal court). It takes a bit of time to understand the difference of legal terms, like barrister and solicitor, but you'll get it.

"The Hidden Tiger" - A butler is ripped to shreds in an English manor house. Nearby is an agricultural research station which falls under the suspicion of Steed and Mrs. Peel.

819	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Ok, so I never saw "Shakespeare in Love".  After watching this 10 minute Star Wars/Shakespeare spoof, I'm not sure I want to.  I'm sure it's a fine movie, but what "George Lucas in Love" accomplished in only 10 minutes surely can't be improved over the course of a 2-hour movie (perhaps I'm also still bitter that it beat "Saving Private Ryan" for best picture of 1998.. grrrrr).  That little rant aside, Star Wars is probably the most frequently spoofed movie or cultural phenomenon of all time (with Star Trek running a close second).  This current incarnation takes its inspiration from "Shakespeare in Love" and finds a college-age George Lucas struggling to find his inspiration to write an 'agricultural space opera' for his final project.  As he walks across campus to meet with his advisor, you see many quirky schoolmates who seem to have inspired different characters and plots in Star Wars, from Han Solo to Jabba the Hutt.  Even his advisor engages in the backward speak that defines Yoda.  George finds his inspiration in the form of an attractive co-ed who's hairstyle seems vaguely familiar.  There is even a little twist that romance that I dare not mention.  This is a hilarious send up of two very successful movies and definitely worth the 9 minutes you will spend watching it.

 These days I still get a child-like thrill whenever I watch "Close Encounters." The opening two thirds of the film are no longer ponderous, but identifiable. The awkward situations of a struggling middle-class family are realistically portrayed. Paul Schrader, noted screenplay author of "Taxi Driver," wrote the original draft to this film. One suspects the obsessions and frustrations of Richard Dreyfuss' character came from his tortured pen.
Perhaps Scorsese's most poignant film, The Taxi Driver offers a bleak, but somehow refreshing, alternative to the concept of "taking it lying down." Here, in his vision, there is another solution, and one in which while many of us fantasize about, almost all of us refuse to make a reality.
As for the format, I viewed this on the Amazon FireStick with a Prime Subscription. I was happy with the aspect ration through the FireStick as this movie was shown in it's original widescreen presentation. No pan and scan or chopped edges. I've not been able to find the film on DVD with the original aspect ration in tact. This is a musical with lots of color and dancing and elaborate sets. It should never be viewed in a pan and scan format. But the aspect ration is true on the FireStick, FireTV, and online.

Only the cast of Monty Python could have pulled this film off, with each actor playing many different characters...all hilarious! The genius in the actors' lines themselves are truly to be admired. The comedic style of talking in circles is one technique that most comedies do not try to do, simply because they can't compete with the genius of this film, which uses it flawlessly. Those that do try usually fall flat on their faces. Two particularly excellent examples of this can be seen in the beginning scene, in which the characters discuss the origins of coconuts.....and the other when Lancelot breaks into the swamp castle to save the "damsel in distress." This is merely one technique that the cast has perfected to conjure up laughs consistently throughout the entire film. The only way that I can imagine that someone might not like this film is if they simply do not enjoy it's type of humor. Too bad for them.

Like Arthur Conan-Doyle, John Mortimer is less interested in the crime itself than what is going on /around/ the crime. However much fun it is to see Rumpole untangle the evidence and expose the true criminal, Mortimer is much more interested in the legal profession and the people who inhabit it -- most of whom lack Rumpole's integrity, and seem to be in it simply because of the status it brings. "Rumpole of the Bailey" is a comedy of manners about the law.

Fortunately, the script for "Star Wars" is all about him, he only needs to open his eyes and see it.

Remind the watcher of biblical appearances by god.  The intense desire on the part of the characters to go to the source of these events, also points to biblical situations.  The special effects are dazzling in my opinion, although I don't believe these events could have been kept secret for very long, in view of the number of people involved in them.  The lighter scenes are quite humorous, especially the mash potatoes.  This film in my opinion, was designed to make the viewer feel closer to his creator, and to dispell the idea that we are totally alone in the universe.  A very good film, well worth purchasing.  JRV

3951	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Steven Spielberg uses the concept of urban paranoia to dismantle it, to expose it and to denounce it. The intervention of extraterrestrials in our society starts a real panic among many people, and at the same type mesmerizes some who are invited in a way for the grand coming that is announced by this open show of power and benevolence. Then the film analyzes the reaction of authorities. Military authorities are obsessed by limiting the contact of these ETs with the population, hence they evacuate the area where the meeting is supposed to take place, they establish a whole fear and even fright process to convince the population that they must go away or stay away,and they constantly think of danger, instead of thinking of potential opening. On the other side the scientists, strangely dominated by a Frenchman, are jumping on the occasion to open their minds, to seize the day, the night and the new vistas that open up to them.

6038	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	Stone won't make himself vulnerable to anyone or the facts, whether that means eliminating all JFK conspiracy theories other than his own or simplifying a story and people as he has done here in Midnight Express. Stone borrowed Billy Hayes' real story of being held in a Turkish prison for several years after being caught smuggling hashish, and hijacked it to devastating effect. [I focus on screenwriter Stone instead of director Parker because the substance of Hayes' original book was altered by Stone and Parker just created Stone's skewed vision]. Stone was successful in destroying the Turkish justice image in the minds of generations of Americans. Ask most any American [now thirty years after Stone made his movie] to picture a Turkish(or Islamic) prison or court room or justice system, and the one portrayed in Midnight Express is the one that is ingrained. Coincidence or not, it should be noted that this humiliating portrayal of Islamic justice came at a time of increased Hollywood output of negative Islamic images and favorable Israeli ones(the unprecedented and universally viewed miniseries Masada). To this day, Islam's portrayal in movies is considered horrendous by those who study it(Shaheen's 'Reel Bad Arabs').

Despite an often dark plot, THE FISHER KING is ultimately a story of hope, redemption and second chances. I so love this movie. It's one of my favorites.

The plot and characters aren't particularly complex, but they're vividly drawn, from Coburn's ability to seize financial disaster from the jaws of triumph when his passion for losing his winnings on the crap tables and borrowing from one loan shark to pay another to Strother Martin's eloquent `cut man' who patches up fighters in return for enough money to indulge his drug habit ("This month's financial condition has prevented certain journeys of the imagination"), while Bronson, as ever, says the most without words as the kind of man who never puts down any roots and never looks past the next bend in the road. There's a rich cast of familiar 70s faces among the supporting cast - Robert Tessier, Bruce Glover, Frank McRae, Felice Orlandi - and an elegant turn from Michael McGuire as Coburn's upmarket rival, almost literally a big fish in a little pond who isn't best pleased that he no longer has the best streetfighter in New Orleans. The plotting, like Hill's visual framing, is straightforward but eloquently economical with no sense of padding or waste, so perfectly crafted that you're never left feeling that you haven't got more than your money's worth.

So what's the humor like? If you've seen a single episode of the Flying Circus (and if you haven't, you need to get off your computer and go see Dead Parrot, Self Defense against Fruit, Ministry of Silly Walks and about a dozen others RIGHT NOW), you should know what to expect. There's a healthy dose of the absurd, and I live for the absurd. Cows, wooden badgers, and "Holy Handgrenades" are thrown about. It's also extremely irreverent - check out the God scene (my personal favorite - "of COURSE it's a good idea!"), King Arthur's discussions with communist peasants, the French, the infamous Black Knight, and the final scene, which is an excellent combination of anticlimactic and hilarious. It's also somewhat morbid (i.e. "I'm not quite dead!"), and there are a few sex jokes, but far from being the cheap, tacky ones Will Ferrel specializes in, they're gut-busters. For example, the Sir Galahad ("the chaste!") scene is a highlight, or at least would be a highlight if everything in this movie wasn't a highlight. And the low-budget-ness adds to the laughs, of course. There's a bit of cheesy fake blood that looks like red food coloring, and I find that really funny.

6769	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	Lame, shallow and dumb, are just a very few words I will mention to describe this movie.  This movie's is basically a bunch of speical effects strung together by a shallow story line that really does not end with any real resolution other than to look out for part 2.
This is the first movie since "Field of Dreams" that has the intimacy and subtlety to pull it off and make the viewer really FEEL the story. Hawke is outstanding as the principle character, a genetically imperfect man trying to overcome the limits placed on him in a futuristic caste society. Jude Law is equally amazing as the man who sacrifices everythig for the chance to feel alive again and ultimately help Hawke reach his dream. The landscapes and sets are all excellently matched to the spartan, utilitarian, and genetically "clean" future world we are swept to. It is quite simply masterful on all levels.

I have to question the casting of Jeff Daniels as Washington.

6808	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Sinatra is amazing in this movie about a nightclub singer and the ladies in his life. All the songs are first-rate and Sinatra's performances of  "Lady Is A Tramp" and "I Didn't Know What Time It Was"  are classic. The plot is entertaining, and though admittedly tamer than the  story originally was, still has enough of a hint of naughtiness to stay  true to the swing of things. Hayworth gives a kick butt performance and  steals the show as the glamourous rich widow who helps Joey finance his  dreams. Novak is beautiful and does good, but what woman can compete with a  co-star like Ms. Hayowrth!  But the best thing about Pal Joey is that it's  Sinatra bring Sinatra and that's why I fell in love with this movie.
After the ways in which the "wicked English" were rather mistreated in both Brave Heart and the Patriot (Mel Gibson in both cases, I'm afraid), some reviewers have been wondering whether, yet again, the English were being somewhat portrayed and caricatured as "the baddies", and were somewhat annoyed at it. In particular, some may have wondered whether depicting the English as insulting Joan and treating her as if she was a witch while also behaving as what could be seens as a cowardly manner, was not tainted with some unpleasant undertones of rench nationalism. This is, of course, a film done by a French Director, something than could fuel such a suspicion until one remembers how superstitious people were in the 15th century and on both sides (and how superstitious most of them were well before and well after). A young and (supposedly) inexperienced maiden leading to war seasoned warriors was simply unheard of at the time. That she was successful and brought victory a couple of times at Orlans, where the six months old English siege was finally broken, and went on to win a convincing victory at Patay and to escort the Dauphin to be crowne in Reims with her army, could only be a tremendous boost to the flaging morale of the French, who were clearly losing the war before her arrival, and, on the contrary, make the English wonder if the she was not Heavenly inspired, since all her enterprises seemed to be successful.

All the emphasis is placed on the story, a very good story I might add,  rather than dazzling special effects and inner ear damaging surround sound. Hollywood should take some lessons from this film and give the public more fare that uplifts and inspires rather than the apocalyptic doom and gloom they keep pushing on us. I try to rent movies on blu ray before I buy them to see if they are worth the additional cost, which is what I did here.

Great idea for a film, no?  Sadly, I found the execution lacking and the film had trouble keeping my attention once the premise was established.  Shots of Vincent gazing longingly at the sky as rockets take off for outer space while he mops the floor are almost humorous to a cynical bastard like myself who gets his jollies blowing spitballs at such storytelling practices.  The backstory where Vincent's younger brother (a Valid; the parents didn't want to make the same mistake twice) lords his superiority over him and then loses in a swimming contest is reiterated over the course of the film again and again in such a manner that I felt that the filmmaker was treating me like an idiot.  Yeah!  I get it!  We don't like the super-people so we revel in the guy who is just like us winning.  No need to show us four more times!  I about turned the film off when his ability to outdistance his physically more able sibling is explained by Vincent by saying he never saved anything for the swim back.  But his brother never made it to the swim out so what was he saving exactly?  So all that does is give the people a line that makes no sense to cheer about.  "Yeah, you fascist jerk!  He didn't save anything for the swim back except that he not only had enough to swim back, but he carried your sorry behind with him so obviously he did save something...  more then you in fact since you were the one drowning. Wait, what'd he say again?"  Things like that eat at the inside of my brain and make me angry that the writers and director can't even think through their own story for our benefit.

When it came time to produce the movie some years later, changes were understandably made to John O'Hara's original stories (first published in the New Yorker), especially once it became a vehicle for Frank Sinatra. Joey was now an aspiring singer instead of a hoofer, and while Sidney's film retains enough of its source material's feel so that Joey isn't exactly a kind soul to the opposite sex, it's been softened to a degree where its protagonist is more of a rascal than an unabashed jerk.

I agree with him, or at least that is how I have always viewed the film. The subjects of drugs, using and selling, dressing for "hippie' success, the hard road of rural communal living (or urban communal living, for that matter), and trying to cope with the "squares" and "rednecks" were all in a day's work back in the days for those of us committed to "seeking a newer world.".

This is the 'Master of Puppets' (Metallica' best, and most powerful, album) for DeNiro.  The power of his performance here is beyond description.  How he got from 'Taxi Driver' to where he is today would make for another 'dark journey' movie...  By the way, for those reviewers who don't understand why he doesn't go to jail at the end, think about the kind of people he killed-the kind the police would just as soon kill themselves if they could get away with it.  He was doing the police a favor, in a weird sort of way.  Plus this is inner city NYC-nobody cares about these types of people anyway in 'this part of town'-you're on your own.  The making Travis out to be a hero was on purpose-to show how society has a twisted sense of rewarding the 'wrong people'-GET IT???  As for the color of the blood at the end, you should have watched the 'making of' part of the DVD-They talk about how the negatives for the original had deteriorated so much that they were not able to be saved.  If you just plain didn't like it, well, you can see you're in the minority.  Even if it's too violent for you, I don't see how you could ignore DeNiro's performance-it's why acting was invented, or Scorsese's (and crew) amazingly thick vibe that so perfectly complements DeNiro's tour de force performance.

The colors of the picture of BD releases is what I really am impressed with and this movie shines.
"Gattaca" is a masterpiece of science fiction -- a richly nuanced, beautifully understated work that reminds you that, no matter where we come from, we can all reach for the stars.


The movie in a nutshell involves two hippies, Wyatt (Peter Fonda) also known as "Captain America" and Billy (Dennis Hopper), who score a huge cocaine deal in Mexico and unload it on a rich guy (Phil Spector) in California.  The two then decide to travel by motorcycle to the Mardi Gras in New Orleans to have a great time.  This sets up the rest of the film for many offbeat and bizarre encounters on this free-spirited road trip.
I know that some people are disappointed in the complete set, but think about the seasons that FOX provided of this great series.
I don't want to say too much about the plot because it so much fun to watch it unfold. The story holds up great over the decades. It has lots of intentional humor and some little funny things like the license plate on the car changing when it gets to a new state...

But the hard-edged director Billy Wilder was said to be Cohn's first directorial choice; they say studio mogul and director went to lunch to discuss it - and at the end of lunch, Wilder was not only not given the job, but was given the bill.  Gene Kelly and Rita Hayworth had impressed Cohn by their work together in the 1944 hit,"Covergirl," and the studio chief promised them another picture together, expected to be "Pal Joey."  But those 15 years went by, and Kelly was under contract to MGM.  So Cohn thought of Jack Lemmon.  Cohn initially thought of Marlene Dietrich for the Simpson role, characterized as an older woman, but Dietrich wouldn't take it.  However, she suggested Frank Sinatra for the title role, Joey Evans.  Meanwhile, Rita Hayworth, who was Columbia's reigning sex symbol at the time, and had expected to play Linda English, the ing&eacute;nue, aged rapidly, unfortunately.  She was just 39 at filming, actually three years younger than Sinatra, but had to take the Vera Simpson, older woman part. The younger woman's part was given to Kim Novak, the studio's rising sex symbol.  Barbara Nichols played Gladys Bump, chorus girl comic relief.
Some have criticized the movie as having two minds.  The stuff at the office is fun, raucous, aggressive, and often very funny.  The Basner family saga is often very painful.  I actually found the clash of these two stories more or less realistic.  Many young professionals experience a much different life at work than at home and that leads to a lot of stress, broken marriages, and lots of counseling hours.

Billy got searched at the Istanbul Airport, and the Turkish police arrested Billy.  In return for cooperation the police offered leniency, which Billy accepted.  Unfortunately, Billy tried to escape while cooperating with local authorities.  Billy now has to face the wrath of the Turkish justice system, which mainly wants to make an example out of foreigners, especially Americans used to getting away with Billy's behavior back in the States.
Yet it is still the silliness that draws people to the Monty Python franchise, and there is plenty of that in the Holy Gail. In addition to the French dude that uttered the title phrase, some of my personal favorite parts are, the Black Knight who wouldn't die, the Holy Hand Grenade and the Knights Who Say Ni. And as part of the English Lit class, we learned the "Ni" was actually a curse word back in olden times, so for me that added to the humor of the scene.
According to various historical sources, there was not one Arthur but hundreds...perhaps thousands in 6th century England.

BEHIND THE SCENES:Rankin/Bass studios was the most prolific creators of holiday specials we have ever known. After the huge success of their 1964 stop motion musical Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, they created no less than 14 more Christmas specials, from a total of 35 specials of which many covered other holidays. In 1970 audiences were eager to see what the clever studio would come up with next, their last picture had been Frosty the Snowman the year before in traditional cel animation. As much as viewers enjoyed Frosty, they really liked the stop motion "Animagic" that was the specialty of the studio. The only TV specials they made this process so far were Rudolph, and The Little Drummer Boy. The new show aired on ABC on December 14, 1970 and it was in Animagic! It was a one hour special, and it received huge ratings. It still airs every year.

Sinatra is great here.  He carries the film on his shoulders and delivers a fine performance.  Rita Hayworth and Kim Novak give him a run for his money though, especially Hayworth who ravishes in her last screen performance.  She is intoxicating and sensual and possesses a true sense of power.  Novak comes off a tad stiff in some scenes, especially the early ones, but as the film progresses she gets more comfortable in her performance and truly delivers.  Her take on `My Funny Valentine' is remarkable and possibly the best moment in the film.  The form a cohesive threesome and create some serious charm.  Novak is also a solidified knockout in the film and is, as she puts it, "stacked".


Good stuff. Now, Sony/Columbia Tri-Star... get this awful pan & scan version off the market and give us the nice release Europe and Australia have!

In this movie, Hanks plays David Basner, a hotshot adman in Chicago, with comical co-workers and upper-middle-aged parents that are breaking up. While he tries romancing the daughter of a major client, (Sela Ward, hubba-hubba!) he also has to deal with his poor father (Jackie Gleason) losing his wife of 40 years and his job, all within the same month! The "tough love" tenderness Basner uses with his dad is offset by the kid gloves he uses with his mother, played by Eva Marie Saint. There are some ingenious comic scenes in this film, such as the ad company presentation to the Texan airline owner client, father of the Sela Ward character, (the woman with the guitar voicing the old lady on the plane is priceless,) and some other ad proposals are done well too. However, it is the later scenes with Max, his father, that will probably get to you the most. This was Jackie Gleason's last movie, and it is LIGHT YEARS better than most of the stuff he starred in late in his career, specifically the "Smokey & The Bandit" movies and "The Sting II". Hanks would go on to make "Joe Versus The Volcano", which was really Meg Ryan's movie more than his, his last broad comedy, and then made "A League of Their Own", which changed his career as well as saved it. There was no looking back after "Philadelphia", which was actually his first totally dramatic role.

3290	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This movie stars Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Shirley MacLaine, Julia Roberts, Daryl Hannah, Olympia Dukakis, Tom Skerritt, and Dylan McDermott. An all star cast. Yes the movie mirrors 1983's TERMS OF ENDEARMENT quite a bit, but this movie works with the star studded cast who all turn in worthy performances of Oscar's. It's such a special movie about love and friendship between these women, and the ties that bind them together. Roberts' character suffers from diabetes and has a child against her doctors orders. Her character needs a kidney transplant and her on screen mom played by Sally Field, gives her kidney. However the kidney is rejected and ultimately Roberts' character dies. Truly tugs at the heartstrings and Field gives a demanding performance with her outburst at the end after the funeral. Parton, Hannah, MacLaine and Dukakis turn in comical performances that make you smile and warms your heart. Overall truly a beautiful movie that I do consider a classic.

 Plus this movie  seems very rushed you can never get a good foot hold of the story Especially during Janes childhood. I do also miss the Gypsy scene that is omitted in many of these movies and was expertly done in the Dalton /Clarke mini series, which brought some brief light heartednes to an otherwise very dark story.
As it turns out, Jack is the one who needs saving.
Taxi Driver is without a doubt one of the best films I have ever seen. The reason the story is so great, is because it involves a taxi driver whose only human contact is the fares that he takes, which forces him to concentrate on the worst that society has to offer. This is what makes Travis feel like he is the only solution to society's problems. The film slowly takes you through each step of Travis's decent into madness. Travis Brickle is Robert De Niro's best performance in my opinion. DeNiro's ability to slowly break down the character is amazing, and watching De Niro transform himself into a crazy vigilante will give you the creeps. This includes the classic scene with De Niro standing in front of the mirror saying "You talkin to me?!!". Jodi Foster, Harvey Kietel, Peter Boyle, and the rest of the cast were all great in their roles as well.

 His daywatcher/human servant (Billy Cole) is creepy in a way and his cup holds its own volume of twisted charm. Amanda Bearse (pre-Married with Children) shows up as Amy and does a surprisingly good job as a cute, bubbly, and interesting side-character. Charlie (William Ragsdale), the main character, does the role well and his friend Evil Ed (Stephen Geoffreys) plays the part to a tee but his character is a little annoying. Another great charm is the cowardly vampire hunter Peter (Roddy McDowall) -- he brings plenty of humor when he walks in. A recently fired, non-believer he has to be convinced but when he sees it's real his knees begin to shake and his pants become a little wet but this just makes it all the more comical.

Resident Evil is about a team od paramiltary commandos must battle flesh-eating undead, killer dogs, and a supercomputers deadly defenses before an unleashed virus cunsumes humanity. I think this movie is a good adaptation of the video game series. It has action, violence, language, brief nudity, and some blood. I heard a rumor that the director had to cut some scenes from the movie becuase they contained so mmuch gore, that the movie would have gotten a NC-17 rating. I had also heard that there was going to be a directors cut, but I bought the movie the 2nd day it came out and i did hear of any directors cut. Maybe it will come out in the future.

3169	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Revolutionary in its time but appearing somewhat dated now, "Easy Rider" was the ultimate road trip: two bikers on a cross-country ride from the west coast to Mardi Gras in New Orleans after scoring big in a drug deal.  Produced and directed by, and starring Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda, and almost stolen by a then-unknown named Jack Nicholson playing a hippie lawyer, "Easy Rider" follows its two heroes across some of the most stunning scenery in the Southwest as they head towards Louisiana in search of "freedom", whatever that means.  "Easy Rider" not only brings us two (or three, counting Nicholson) of society's dropouts, we also meet a community of hippies, some narrow-minded small-town lawmen, and some rednecks in Louisiana who seem to have a more-than-passing relationship to Neanderthals.  We wonder if the film's perhaps unwitting message is that the search for meaningless "freedom" results in meaningless and wanton death and destruction.  More than any film of its time, "Easy Rider" caught the mood of the late 1960s in America and the fear of the "establishment" for society's rebels.  It may be of its own time, but its timeless rejection of mindless conformity echoes down to us.
As for the acting, the downfall of so many movies, it's simply outstanding. You really do feel as if you're watching an elite squad of jaded specialists. It's somewhat like Starship Troopers, in a different setting. I really felt convinced of the performances. When they're hurt, they act hurt. When they're scared, they're scared. There's very little room for uncertainty here. If they actors aren't upset about being injured, or scared of the death that surrounds them, then it's quite hard for the audience to be concerned either.

 Jack Nicholson has a small part in the film and the small amount of screen time he has in "Easy Rider" shows audiences the kind of actor who would become.

Still a great movie with a fascinating concept, excellent action, lots of humor and, not that anybody noticed, GOOD ACTING!
The film has some sad and serious moments -- after all, these are characters who are really going NOWHERE in a very boring suburban landscape -- but with Dignan around it never stays down for long. There are plenty of chuckles and some real moments of howling laughter, especially during the climatic 'take down' (and I'm really using that term pretty loosely). Another Wes Anderson favorite actor, Kumar Pallana, who appeared as Pagoda in "The Royal Tenenbaums," is on-hand to add comedy as a safe-cracker (and again, I'm really using that term loosely).
The ending of "Hell in the Pacific" is a story in and of itself.  There are two versions.  One, demanded by US audiences, is a "happy ending", although ambiguously so.

Because of the wonderful nature of DVDs, both endings are included, and you can choose the fate you want for the two characters.

It's just an hour and forty-five minutes of nothing. Is pointing out that New York has alot of bad areas and bad people suppose to be some kind of stroke of genius? And so what if a New York Cab Driver starts to slowly lose his mind.
6399	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	i didn't have high expectations to be crushed simply because this isn't that kind of franchise.this isn't like the disaster AvsP is.nothing is.but this is a typical big budget action/horror movie.i don't beleive in leaving my brain,the most important part of most movie goers,at the door,but i didn't have to.i kinda got the gist from part one and this continues from that well.if i were a rabid R/E fan then maybe i would be more thrilled with this.video games turned into movies doesnt really get my undying attention.something about it seems for lack of a better word,''fake''.i liked it enough where as i wasn't bored.i took whatever i saw for granted,i didn't get a headache if everything didn't make sense.so on those terms,its not a bad movie,coming from a person not a R/E fan to begin with.
Until recently, I had only seen bits and pieces of Spielberg's 1977 UFO classic. I never had the time or inclination to sit down and watch the whole movie. That is, until my current boyfriend (a true Spielberg aficionado) purchased the Collector's Edition DVD. We sat down in my living room and watched it.
Carl Weathers (Apollo Creed of Rocky fame) does a brief cameo in the 1977 version as an Army seargant who interrogates suspicious-looking Roy, who looks like a potential looter, during the evacuation sequence, when the bird salesman is doing a great scare job in the background.  This bit, quirky but not really necessary, is happily removed from the latter two versions, and instead the scene hangs on the bird salesman saying "Even my dog has a gas mask!  And any of you folks are worth more than a dog!"  Funny.
Also, I think the film's battle scenes were well done. The costume and prop work was nice too. The Hundred Years war saw the dawn of some amazing advancements in armor, battle tactics, and weaponry, and The Messenger did a good job in demonstrating that. Many other films from this era show only a handful of men-at-arms, with the remainder of the armies being lightly armored infantry. Finally a film had a majority of it's fighting men in full armor, the way they actually were during the closing years of the Hundred Years War.
As for audio, "ROXANNE" is presented in Dolby TrueHD 5.1 (English, French and Portuguese) and a Spanish 5.1 Dolby Digital track.  The film is dialogue heavy and thus a lot of the film is front channel-based and there are no use for special effects or rear channels for this film, so expect to see mostly your front and center channels being utilized.  Audio is clear and well-understood and the scenes that showcase classical music was delightful to hear as well.

Dignan is very much a child trapped in the body of a control freak/army commander type guy. He throws tantrums but at the same time has the urge to be in control of every situation at all times. Anthony and Bob, unfortunately for Dignan, have a much different attitude towards their heists, theirs being more laid back and only semi-committed. Wes even shows us this through the characters haircuts. Dignan has a short hair cut and is even at one point mistaken as being in the army because of it. Anthony and Bob both have long hair that further shows their more laid back attitude. While Dignan plans out their heists to the last detail, Anthony is usually drawing while Bob is wrapped up in his brother.

To complete the sea of troubles, David is in the middle of trying to land a huge airline deal for his firm that would likely make him a partner and has also developed a mutual attachment with Cheryl Ann Wayne (played by the amazing Sela Ward) who is important on the airline account for multiple reasons.  Plus, there is the old friend who really needs to be more, Donna Martin, played wonderfully by Bess Armstrong.
The soundtrack was  HOT too! They included many of the bands that were part of punk's eclectic  mix, including Roxy Music (mother of pearl at that!), all the way through  the Dead Kennedy's.  The only reason I did not give it a 5 was that the  punk scene was portrayed as much more violent than the one I experienced.  Then again, I was in San Francisco at an earlier time - perhaps SLC punks  were more into thrashing.

The combined efforts of those mentioned earlier make this film work on all levels. Scorsese, a native of New York City, brings forth images of a location he knows well, the streets and neighborhoods he walked when he was young. Its gritty, dirty and down to earth, no picture postcard land of hope. Schraders script builds on the location. The film could not have taken place in Boise. It allows us a glimpse at what lives in the darkened alleyways, the hopeless masses that find themselves working at the lowest of possible jobs just to survive where the law of the jungle rules.

General Washington received intelligence that a regiment of German Hessian mercenaries had made winter-quarters in Trenton, New Jersey. The troops from Hess were considered amongst the very best of professional soldiers in Europe. They had already inflicted severe defeats upon the Revolutionaries earlier that year. It was a long shot, with what limited resources he had under his command, ...but Washington realized that he just might have a chance at a much-needed victory, ...if all went as planned. Surely he did not expect his operation to result in one of the most one-sided victories in military history!

There are four characters here in a great deal of pain, each trying in their own way to deal with it -- with varying degrees of succcess.  The way in which their paths cross, and merge, in this story, and the impact they have on each other's lives, makes for one of the most moving tales of love/pain/healing that has ever been brought to the screen.  Gilliam's own unique vision guides it along nicely -- you can see his most obvious touch in the visions experience by Williams of the Red Knight, one of the most frightening apparitions you'll ever run across.

Jeff Bridges really shines and shows us  that he is a really good character actor, Robin Williams delivers his best  performance and adds comic relief to a depressing subject matter. Mercedes  Ruehl is a joy to watch and elevates every scene she's in, Amanda Plummer  is also good. Terry Gilliam's stamp is evident and his surreal touches make  it unique, interesting and fascinating. Also with some very funny moments.  Superb screenplay and surreal art direction. Very well acted and directed.  From a scale of 1-10 I give this movie an 8!
I give this movie five stars because it is very funny and smart.  It is an example of a type of humor that is hard to come by these days.  However, I would hesitate to give this movie to anyone younger than 18 or so; I know that when I watched this movie for the first time when I was 15 I did not have the spiritual maturity to discriminate between the quality parody and the few incidents of inappropriate tastelessness.

This should've been the war movie to end all war movies, because it just lays the whole absurdity out in such a hilarious laboratory test of extremes, no one who sees it ever forgets its almost "Naked and the Dead" type absurdist, thoroughly anti-war point of view, which is effective ONLY BECAUSE it makes the existence of evil an undeniable fact that needs to be checked and transcended by humans ALL THE TIME.

I have only limited experience playing the original video game.  I never got very far into it, mainly because I wasn't very adept in the gameplay department and didn't spend the time necessary to significantly improve my minimal skills.  All I remember is exploring the house and trying to kill the occasional zombie that popped up along the way as the music did the principal work of creating a spooky atmosphere.  The movie is much more intense than that - and far more suspenseful.  It's not like some clumsy scientist just happened to drop a beaker, thereby exposing the deadly T-virus all of his geeky colleagues.  On the contrary, this story generates a whole host of questions in the first few moments, questions such as who released the virus and why, but also why is the room housing such a deadly virus tied in to the ventilation system of the whole complex to begin with?  (I can't say I got an answer to that last one.)  I actually had to go back and watch the exposure moment a second time because I thought I had missed something the first time.
His hand begins to make him do further things that he would not normally do upon his own freewill, such as confront the girl next door that he's been crushing on for quite some time.  As it turns out, Molly (Jessica Alba) has always had the same feelings for Anton, but he had never approached her to find out.  After his hand makes him approach Molly, the two of them actually realize how they have truly felt all this time.  This turns out to be the only positive thing that his hand has brought him, but after several other hi-jinks and misfortunes, Anton decides to cut off his own hand, reminiscent of Evil Dead.  Further antics begin to occur, as Mick and Pnub return to life and assist Anton in saving Molly from the demonic hand.  With the assistance of a demon hunter, the group spends the remainder of the film battling the demonic hand in a series of laugh inducing scenes.

It's difficult for me to recommend this movie.  For hard-core sci fi or Spielberg fans, you should see it once for yourself because it is one of the milestones in the genre.  Anyone else can safely skip it since there are far more entertaining films for you to choose from.

Scorsese, DeNiro, Keitel, and Foster completely deserve the praise they received.  They portray losers in the drama of a massive, then-deteriorating city, in which a man is going insane.  He pulls Keitel and Foster into his web of horror and alienation with the surety of a pendulum, to the unspeakable violence of the climax.  It is painful to watch:  a horrible story about horrible people to whom horrible things will happen.  Then there is the commentary on the media:  Travis becomes a hero by his action, though it is clear the pendulum continues to swing.

Sean Connery is pretty much wasted in the title role. He's blustery and over the top, but it's mostly a great sound and fury signifying nothing. Connery's not nearly as wasted as Ralph Finnes (excellent in Strange Days). Uma Thurman shows that she can't hold a candle to Diana Rigg. She ends up in the leather catsuit but doesn't have much to do once she's in it.

Downstairs we are privy to the lives of the servants in the Bellamy household. First and foremost is the devout, inflexible and regimental head butler, Angus Hudson, the staff overlord. Then there is the curmudgeonly but good-hearted cook, Mrs. Bridges. Other memorable characters include the efficient but sheltered head house/parlour maid, Rose Buck; the religious but simple footman, Alfred; his successor, the good-natured Edward, who has an eye for the female staff; the not-overly-bright scullery maid, Emily, and her successor and intellectual equal, Ruby; and Lady Margery's prim and snobbish lady's maid, Miss Roberts.  Of course, one simply cannot forget the sassy, vivacious new under house/parlour maid, Sarah (Pauline Collins), who is a real dreamer and schemer and who, like a bad penny, turns up on the Bellamys' doorstep periodically during the first two series, or the new capable-but-just-as-conniving chauffeur, Thomas (Collins' real-life husband, John Alderton), who is nobody's fool!

Since the story of the film is largely pointless, and little else really holds attention spans, it is easy to pick out inaccuracies and bits of concepts that don't quite add up. For starters, the girls drive around in the Spice Bus, a blue and red monstrosity that has an impossibly large interior. So impossibly large in fact, that it doesn't even pretend to make sense. Workout equipment, couches, beds and all sorts of other furniture are scattered throughout the inside of the bus, in shots that are clearly not capable of being inside the bus. And yet the filmmakers go so far as to show the flashing lights of other vehicles zipping by the bus windows, even though the realism has long since been abandoned.

1524	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	This "Film" version of the classic story by Charlotte Bronte is grossly overacted by Ciaran Hinds. Personally, I found him to be too harsh and cruel, barely even nice. However, Samantha Morton balanced it out quite well as the title character, though. I also didn't like the omission of the middle scenes with Mrs. Reed, which I feel are very important to the story. I prefer Timothy Dalton (4 years before he embodied the role of James Bond in "The Living Daylights") as Rochester. He was very well suited to the part; I read somewhere that he considers his role as Edward Rochester his personal favourite. Gemma Jones ("Sense & Sensibility") was great as Mrs. Fairfax. If you're looking for a faithful version of "Jane Eyre," I highly recommend the 1983 BBC miniseries starring Timothy Dalton, the 1944 version starring Orson Welles or the 1996 version starring William Hurt. This film version is Not Rated.

A Christmas Carol is a yearly read for me (at least once) and the Patrick Stewart version, being well-casted and closest to the book text, is also a yearly event, for me.  I also like the George C. Scott version, however, with reservations as other reviews mentioned - the annoying changes on some of the key points of the story.  That is to give you an idea where I am coming from with this version.  The title describes what you're getting - the Christmas Carol story with an American flavor.  Henry Winkler is excellent and, considering the time in which this was made, the production value is fairly good!!  Dorian Harewood is my favorite of the three "ghosts" who visit him and (SPOILER ALERT) I like the twist of having the visiting ghosts be the same people he was mistreating.  Depression-era America doesn't have nearly the "romantic" quality that Victorian England does, but it works well with the story.  Overall, a worthy addition to your collection of Christmas Carol movies.  Also, kudos to Image entertainment for re-releasing this at a reasonable price and getting rid of the dreaded snap-case.

The film makers need to focus more intentionally on the Viewer's Experience:  In the commentary they miss the point and the potential of the movie.  (This is often the case with these commentaries.)  They seem to polish their egos a little too much rather than keep the focus on the viewer's experience.  The viewer is not just a viewer, a camera technique, an angle.  The viewer is experiencing something that is leading to growth or insight or release, or the film or art has failed.

An absolute travesty in every sense. To think of the millions of lives you could save with the money that was wasted on this garbage.

Unfortunately most people now, don't have the time, or the attention span to sit through a movie more than once, but I can honestly say that it's one of my favorites. When I first saw it, I was still in my teens and it stuck with me. I have a copy on video and now a copy on dvd. A lot of people won't understand or get the biblical references and inferences, but my advice would be to just sit back and watch. It is creepy, surreal, and, ultimately, a movie of sacrifice that leaves you wondering what you would do. Demi Moore was really beautiful as Abby.

But even as a single older woman with just a cat I found this movie a delight to watch.  Mandy Patnik is the perfect villain for Elmo and it is obvious that he is having a great time with his role.  The movie also had enough of the old elements (Big Bird, Grover, Bert and Erine, etc.) for adults to travel down memory lane as well as the new characters of the current generation.  The songs were like Disney songs a hit for any age to enjoy.  The movie also like any great family movie blends fun children cuteness with jokes for the adults.  So whatever you age take indulge your inner child with this fun movie.  This is one movie I am keeping on my list.  Elmo's Christmas was also just as good as this movie.

Why did they? I have no idea. The ending just baffled me...*spoiler* why did he walk onto the spaceship? HUH? Maybe I was just having a bad day, but it really made no sense to me.

But don't get me wrong.  The whole movie isn't sweetness and light.  There are actually some terribly horrific scenes, most of them psychological in nature.

I consider this to be the best adaptation of a game to a movie ever.  I always hope that another game will make the jump to screen effectively, but this is the only one that I feel has met that mark.  Still it is a game to movie, so is not for everyone.
The movie finishes up by bringing it all home, with a powerful message that loving is better than hating, that there is so much hate, sometimes you have to stop being selfish, and you have to take a while and learn to love one another.

There's also pics of various promotional posters, bills, and the like. Then there's the two theatrical trailers that are, sadly, pretty much the same... 'cept different.

By this point, I have to come to terms with the fact that I am actually an Owen Wilson fan; I can't help it - the man's just extremely funny.

And so many look back at the time with the lens of the internet and Wikipedia misguiding their view. You must understand that if punk (a very small and unpopular music genre) came to your town it was through import. Either a friend from a big city brought it or some lone independent record store carried it along with a few odd albums from the 70's, like Zappa, that you'd never heard or cared about. And that was all you got. You couldn't hyperlink from Johnny Rotten to Anarchy and try to figure out what that rally meant. You just saw pictures of the Sex Pistols pissing everyone off and thought, 'yeah, that sounds about right'. Punk was your shield. You may not have understood all it's underlying philosophy (like there's actually one they can all agree to) but you understood the reaction, and that was enough.

Daryl Hannah -- sweet, gorgeous, tall, talented, unemployed? That's a shame. Her performance in this movie is the best of any of hers that I've seen. A few years later she had a cameo in "Crimes and Misdemeanors" -- a truly great movie -- in which, alas, she had to play a stereotypical dumb blonde actress.
The only problem I have with this movie is the miscasting of Michael Crawford as Woody Wilkins, the cartoonist who helps out a friend of his at the CIA office in Paris. Englishman Crawford puts on the most exaggerated American accent imagineable, although admittedly he has the brilliant comedic timing necessary to pull off this role.

3252	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I remember that when "Steel Magnolias" first came out it was highly acclaimed and Academy Award talk was heard everywhere, but I never saw the movie. Thus it was that my wife and I were browsing the low price DVD rack and happened to stumble upon it. Always enjoying a good late-night movie, we picked it up and watched it last night. It was excellent.
I saw this movie awhile back so I'm a rusty review. Pardon me if I miss a few fine points but I can't watch it again. It's just too painful. When I saw it I saw my teenage life in a movie and wanted to just run out of the room. I didn't grow up in SLC but I did get transplanted from a large city into a small Midwest town with a fringe 'punk' scene during the second or third wave of punk. This movie is such a freaking history lesson because it describes a time when there was no Hot Topic (i.e. Punk was subculture and had no real money cashing in on it) and punk was a mostly unwanted subculture. If you looked like these kids during this time period you WERE the enemy, no matter how true your Anarchist morals might be. Just listening to the Dead Kennedy's in public was an act of Communism. See how I didn't say 'act of terrorism' there? Middle East terrorism was a thing of the late 70's so the hatred was against Communism. If you were anti-Reagan and said something as simple as 'what's so bad about collective farming?' in the mid 80's you were likely to evoke some hostility.

Now the more difficult question about  how close this movie portrays Joan of Arc. I think the important question  is not how realistic the story is, but rather how true it is. First of all  reality as a person lives it is not reality as realistic movies show it to  be. This movie is full of strange surrealistic events seen through Joan's  eyes and a long and wonderful section at the end visualizes Joan's  thinking: her debating with her own conscience. If you want to understand  or communicate your vision about a person, particularly a person as unique  as Joan of Arc, you cannot stick to historical testimony alone. Certainly,  the director Luc Besson took huge liberties with this movie, showing Joan  from the inside, but I think they were well taken. Having Joan act out of a  revenge motive and casting doubt on the divine origin of her  "voices" may disturb a conservative religious mindset, but is  refreshing and believable at least to me. I want to think that Joan herself  would recognize herself better in this movie than in other supposedly more  historically exacting pictures. Should we ever meet her in the afterlife,  in which she undoubtedly believed in, it will be interesting to know how  she herself will judge all the stories told about her.

The minor  cleverness of AFO stems from director Wolfgang Peterson's ability to set an  unbelievable situation squarely in the realm of the possible, kind of.  Sometimes it works, but the apple pie propaganda gets pretty gooey,  especially toward the end.  A Presidential sounding horn section plays in  the background every time Marshall kicks a vodka-drinking scuzball in the  groin, and the brow-beating of the first family becomes a melodramatic  hoot.

Like many of it's predecessors, in the late 90s and early  80s, we have close-ups of the actors who are suddenly surprised by their  friends from behind while being suspicious that someone is at that moment  watching them. While this happens a burst of very, very loud music tries to  enhance the "effect" of the "scare". The other clich it doesn't bother to  not use is the one where we think that "The killer" is watching them from a  closet or something and then we realize it's just cat or banging window in  the wind. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN (during a moment of false security) THE  KILLER APPEARS OUT OF NOWHERE. Puh-lease. Give us a little credit.

BONUS: Booklet Essay: Part of the fancy packaging is a 32-page booklet with many glossy photos, storyboard sketches, and an in-depth essay by director Alan Parker about his experiences making the film.

The film follows the lives of six women for about a four year period. We don't really see as many layers as the film makers would like us to believe, it is essentially a bunch of hens flapping their wings and doing "girl things". This isn't necessarily a bad thing, because these girls are captivating and they can act even if a lot of this seems a bit stagey! There are also several powerful scenes in this film.
The sci-fi angle worked better for me (and I don't really like sci-fi).  I found the security devices and the assorted set pieces to be very intimidating and frightening.  I definitely was feeling the suspense.
2161	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	A very exciting movie. I always love it when the good guys win. It is somewhat realistic in that the bad guys win on a few levels, but in the end - it's the good guys.

The movie is packed full of well-known actresses and actors (Sally Field, Julia Roberts, Shirley McClaine, Daryl Hannah, Dolly Parton, Skerrit, Olympia Dukakis, and more) who are magnificent.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this special, and I'm not quite sure why.  Maybe my low expectations were why this one surprised me so much.  I actually got quite caught up in the story even though I had most of it figured out early.  The characters were so great, too, from Kris to his adopted family and his love interest Jessica (Robie Lester) on the good side to the villain you love to hate, Burgermeister Meisterburger.
It's a sad fact that the video game is more compelling, more fun and a helluva lot bloodier than its cinematic offshoot.
This was one of Brad Pitt's earlier films, and boy does he just sparkle in this or what?
We switch to Alice (Milla Jovovich), who awakens in an empty mansion after passing out in the shower. Her collapse has has given her amnesia, a condition that becomes ever more frightening when a team of nameless Special Ops soldiers (see: fodder) employed by Umbrella storms the mansion. Turns out that the mansion serves as a secret entrance to The Hive, and the team has been sent to infiltrate The Hive and investigate its lockdown. The team directs Alice down into the bowels of the facility to assist with the task. Why they can't determine the nature of the lockdown from the outside is beyond me, since that would be a much more logical thing to do. And why can't they just trust the security system they created and leave The Hive locked down, rather than endangering the lives of an entire Special Ops team and potentially the lives of everyone on the outside by reopening the Hive? But as you're going to find out while watching the Resident Evil films, logic does not exist in this dojo.

5120	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This movie just rocks...from the opening sequence, you get a hint of the genius working here.  Owen Wilson, in my opinion, is one of the brightest comics out there right now.  The movie is basically this:  that there are two friends, Anthony and Dignan.  Dignan's major goal is to start a "crew," to live the life of a crime boss.  So they go out on a mission, robbing a store, and it's hilarious to see them working together, bumbling, their dumb ideas, etc.  Then, after the robbery, they go on the lamb, which ain't no trip to Cleveland.  The movie slows down here, but what do you expect?  This movie was created from a short film, done so independently.  And the ending, with James Caan, is priceless.  The DVD does not have a lot of extra features, just the menus, etc.  Hopefully they will re-release this film with more features, since this was released before The Matrix came out on DVD and special features became a staple.  But the movie is still worth the purchase.
The movie really suggests that by training our mind and body (and using some help from our friends) we can achieve our dreams, regardless of the unfavorable conditions that we were born with.

It was particularly poignant for me because the tragedy involves a character with an unusual name which also happens to be the same name as a very close relative of mine.  I don't want to give too much away and spoil it for new viewers, but the story is heartrending and it brings out all the best (and the worst) in the characters.  I highly recommend this film, but it's not for the soft-hearted or those who are unwilling to cry and let themselves be vulnerable to the circumstances of the story line.  Directed by Herbert Ross, it's a masterpiece of human emotion and conflict.

A great movie to see at least once, since there are so many other movies, TV shows, and novels that reference scenes in this and expect watchers to be familiar with what is going on. It's also a powerful glimpse into time, to see the forces that were at work in the US in the late 60s.

8914	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	A true comedic masterpiece. I first saw the movie when I was 8 and laughed just a bit. Now that I'm 24 I can really appreciate all of the humor involved from the politics to the sheer absurd shenanigans that happen. The movie itself is what you'd expect from a bluray remaster. Looks good, sounds good and plays with no problems.

7028	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	Ok, where do I start? The plot was dumb, the soundtrack was horrible, the acting was ridiculous, the zombies were even more ridiculous, there were splatter scenes thrown here and there to try to spice up the whole thing, and, finally, the spirit of the movie was sick. Could things get any worse than this?
Quite disturbing is the fact that there exist terminologies that bring about new discussion concerning this movie as well as the vision of a progressing, futuristic society. Among these are paradigm shifts, infrastructures and zones of proximity, each of which can be looked upon from so many different angles.

"Taxi Driver" is more than just a great movie, it's frighteningly real and incredibly powerful.

Damon Bradley.  Remember that name.  The entire movie is about the elusive Damon Bradley, and a woman named Faith.  You see, when Faith was a child, she played a game of Ouija Board (I think they're still around today).  Remember those things?  Did you ever play?  Did the spirit ever move and spell out a name for you?  Well, when a little girl asks who she is destined to marry and the board answers, this is serious stuff!  Then to have it confirmed by a fortune teller a few years later, it's got to be your destiny.  Right?


I really like how this movie is made.  It's not so much about the aliens as it is about the people, namely Roy, who they touch somehow.  How these people become obsessed with UFOs or whatever.  As for the UFOs themselves, Speilberg teases us with small sighting near the beginning of the film, a tense scene at the house of the little boy, and some finds of missing planes and ships.  Other than those few scenes, it's more about the characters and you don't really see much about the aliens until the big pay off scene at the end.  And as for that scene, it's worth the buildup.  Even 20 some odd years after the movie came out, with the advancement of special effects and everyting, the climax still manages to be awe inspiring.


In the movie world Danny quickly learns that the laws of physics and simple logic don't apply (how often has THAT proven to be true?). He's partnered with Slater, a renegade L.A. cop and the absolute zenith of action hero stereotypes, to find who killed his favorite second-cousin Frank (BIG MISTAKE!). Danny and Slater smash their way into a hokey, James Bond-ish plot, though it's not long before suave English henchman Mr. Benedict discovers Danny's secret and plans to escape to the real world. Danny and Slater follow, but Slater's movie-world abilities are rendered useless in reality. Doubt begins seep in for the first time as he ends up questioning his powers as a good cop.
This  version of the story of the famous warrior saint (or was she just crazy?)  is definitely the most colourful one ever made. Milla Jovovich generally  does a good job playing the part of Joan. Sometimes she's absolutely  brilliant, but other times the performance is not that convincing. I take  it that this is because of her having to work with Besson right after their  divorce. But speculations aside, the movie still turned out pretty great.  Generally the acting is quite superb, and the visuals are gorgeous,  something which has become a trademark of Besson. But like other  postmodernistic directors, he seems to focus more on the packaging than the  content. The script never really goes in-depth with the internal struggle  of Joan of Arc, and might be more suited for a regular action movie.

Sewa does a Great job Carrying the film, He can jump from Slapstick to Serious in a Second, he gives his Hand a Character of his own, and he has Definite Leading man Potential. Alba is the most Talented Screen Goddess to emerge since Salma Heyek in "Desperado", plus (like Salma) she is Funny, Smart and Believable.

4311	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Here we are, closing in on 20 years after this movie's release and people STILL don't understand: this isn't an action movie, it's an action movie parody-basically one long in-joke. I saw this in a theater back in 1993 and loved it, because it wasn't meant to be taken seriously; it's Arnie lampooning himself (I'm Arnold Braunschweiger!) during his comedy movie era with other jokes tossed in. It doesn't always work, but it's great fun and this blu-ray was a long overdue re-release, even if it is bare-bones.
Other features include a very funny animated LEGO short, sing-alongs, and my personal favorite: The subtitles and audio tracks. There is a special section of the film you can watch dubbed in Japanese then re-translated into English for subtitles. There are subtitles from Henry IV Pt II for people who don't enjoy the film. There is a shouting track for the hearing impaired. Then, there are commentary tracks where you can hear some Pythons passive-aggressively "discussing" differences during the filming. A great film, a great DVD.

9292	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	For anyone not convinced there's a fine line between comedic genius and outright insanity, I recommend MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL.  The Python troupe takes the legend of King Arthur and mutates it into a hilarious kaleidescope of off-the-deep-end slapstick and parody.  Some of the humor is just plain silly (Black Knight:  "Come on and fight, you coward!"  Arthur:  "But I've just cut your leg off!"  Black Knight (pauses):  "It's only a flesh wound."), and we know it's silly, yet the viewer is still laughing uncontrollably.  Python can pull off looney tunes comedy like Olivier reciting Shakespeare; it's the reason the group enjoyed phenomenal success in the Seventies.
I watched this movie with horror and then, finally, resignation, as Dr. Fuentes travels in the mountains and makes startling discoveries.  I made a few startling discoveries myself -- the abject poverty of the people, the disregard for human life, the acceptance by the people of this as a way of life.  He finds that the people have no food.  He finds that both the army and the guerillas are equally brutal.  The movie takes us all on a journey with Dr. Fuentes.  Along the way we meet a homeless child, a priest who lives with his own private demons, and a deserter from the army with a history of participating in the carnage.  The movie goes deeper and deeper into the despair and devastation.

Essentially a ripoff of The Beatles "A Hard Days Night", the Spice Girls are unfortunately not nearly as famous and their music not nearly as universally recognized.

6360	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	From my experience, all sci-fi films need one very important ingredient... and this is ATMOSPHERE. Its the foundation block for all great movies in this genre. From classics like Star Wars to new favourites like The Matrix. They tell not just a story, but also of a world different to the one we reside in. That is the heart of a great sci-fi. Without it, characters, plot, nor action can develop. This is where Resident Evil Apocalypse falls apart. From the beginning we are rushed into an established storyline. It begins with a few words from the narrator, explaining the damage already done... and instantly we are expected to follow the paper-thin characters on their journey to righteousness. Its difficult to really care, when we are given little time to absorb the horror of a city under fire. Scenes flip from one character to another, each with a separate agenda. Everything is robotic, human interaction and emotion is minimal and the impact of armageddon is ignored. Its derivative, ironcially much like a computer game, you get bitten... its game over.

"Gattaca" is a story about flawed people who have great spirits, yet "Gattaca" itself is as unflawed as any science fiction film ever made.  Every scene cleverly pushes the story along and twists many different ideas and possibilities together like a perfect length of rope.
3214	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	This is a true classic.  The movie starts so slowly that I was afraid I was going to drop off to sleep.

This is a brave and innovative film.  Marvin and Mifune are the only two actors, and everything was filmed on location.  There are no mourning wives waiting for a hopeful return, no platoon of buddies still out looking, no volleyball sidekick.  We aren't even entirely sure how they both arrived there.  None of Mifune's lines are subtitled, so the frustration of communication is powerful, both for the viewer and for Marvin's character.  However, for such a sparse movie, director John Boorman is innovative in his use of location and props to suggestive a broader world.

And the only spiritual or philosophical objection to steam engines is not that men pay for them or work at them or make them very ugly or even that men are killed by them, but merely that men do not play at them[...]The evil is that the childish poetry of clockwork does not remain[...]The wrong is not that engines are too much admired, but that they are not admired enough[...]The sin is not that engines are mechanical, but that men are mechanical." -G.

Some say that this is a 60s ode to the glory of drugs. I don't see that. If anything, it seems to show that their path of freedom didn't lead to joy. One of the characters sighs, near the end, that "we blew it." He praised the farmer who had a wife, a family, and a quiet homestead where he was able to live off the grid. That is praised as being of value. The commune is poked at for being unrealistic - they plant seed into dry sand. The LSD trip, far from being shown as fun and color-filled, is shown as scary and dangerous.

2132	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This action thriller is most certainly above average.  I do admit having Harrison Ford play the U.S. President is an odd casting choice...it leaves no doubt that he's gonna be right in the middle of that action, kicking butts and taking no prisoners...unfortunately, there's little surprise in that area as well.  Gary Oldman was a complete surprise as the leader of the terrorists hijacking Air Force One.  Oldman was wonderfully menacing throughout, showing us he was capable of anything, no matter how cold-blooded.  While I question the premise of someone actually managing to hijack Air Force One, I still very much like this film and watch it over and over again.  I did find it amusing that President Bill Clinton actually commented on the escape pod in the film.  Enjoy.

Travis is a New York City taxi driver, an ex-marine, who is struggling with insomnia and just wants to get through the day. He takes on driving a taxi in the worst areas of town. He has people throwing bottles at him, being sexual in his back seats, and his view on humanity gets fairly worn down. The movie is chock-full of hard street language. He throws around slurs about African-Americans and women, and he clearly has some negative opinions about both. He first stalks a blonde, and when she gets upset that he takes her to a triple-X movie he's baffled and then hostile. He then focuses on a young hooker.

I have now seen Bottle Rocket three times (in the past like 2 months) and on the third viewing, I decided to take some notes. What resulted was a 13-page in depth analysis of the themes and threads pumping through the heart of the film. My favorite aspect of Bottle Rocket is the character development. The character, Dignan, I believe is the most completely realized character of any of Wes' films and possibly the most tragic. Loneliness is the most prominent theme in the film, Dignan being the vehicle for the theme. Through my intense note taking, I was able to find some things that some people may not have picked up on.

Owen's brother Luke Wilson, who had so far appeared in every Wes Anderson film, plays Anthony Adams, who gets out of a voluntary mental hospital after recuperating from a breakdown. His friend Dignan (Owen Wilson) has big plans for both of them -- a life of easy and enjoyable crime! Dignan doesn't have any good ideas, but tries to make up for it with endless enthusiasm and an outrageously optimistic view of life. Unfortunately, when things inevitably don't go well for him and his friends start criticizing him, he can fall into pretty bitter depressions. Owen Wilson has the character nailed down, and Dignan sets the tone for most of Wilson's other characters: the enthusiastic but misguided nut. Dignan gets his friend Bob (Robert Musgrave) in on his plan to pull a 'job' (and all of Dignan's 'jobs' are minor-league suburban affairs) that will attract the attention of the local crime boss/landscaper, Mr. Henry (James Caan in a brief but darned funny performance). Dignan get obsessed with his planning and attempts at damage control, while Anthony and Bob are more busy with the really important things in their lives: Anthony falls for a housekeeper at a motel (Lumi Cavazos, from "Like Water for Chocolate"), and Bob tries to deal with his bully of a brother, Future Man (Andrew Wilson -- yep, another Wilson).

Woody's talent sprang from him fully formed. His basic gift is in full evidence in this early picture. It is debatable that he has improved with age, although it is worth noting that his exposure, like Harold Pinter's, to elegant, bourgeois life permanently altered the objects of his comic study. Mia Farrow introduced him to the good life, to aristocratic penthouse life, and there was no turning back. Still, his genius can be seen in his ability to adjust and move on. Later Woody is every bit as good as his early work, but not necessarily better, unless you happen to like posh talk and that very special boredom of the urban bourgeoisie. This early picture, though lacking in elegant settings and posh-talk, is vintage; here we having that wonderful skewering of pieties that one remembers from the Marx Brothers. Woody is wonderful at exposing pretensions, great and small. Here he plays a small-time hoodlum, a kind of Sylvester Stallone, played as a clumsy oaf, a loser, and nebbishy klutz, with eyes for the gals. Groucho, where are you? The film is a work of genius. It is a jewel.

 Along with unusual dreams and freaky flashes, beautiful music and story emotion on all levels, the Seventh Sign is a classic religious film often overlooked.
Bottle Rocket is cleverly written by Wes Anderson and Owen  Wilson, and even more ingeniously ad-libbed by Owen Wilson and his brother  Luke.  Family chemistry can be a great thing, and in Bottle Rocket, it's  spectacular.  If Owen Wilson one of the best comic performances of the  '90s, it's partially due to the fact that Luke Wilson gives a wonderful  straight-man performance.  The dialogue is hilarious and quotable, the  secondary characters are entertaining, the story is unpredictable, and it's  a treat to see the Wilson Brothers together on screen.

The movie is constructed episodically. One scene takes place at a roadside cafe where the trio is denied service. Another depicts a bad LSD trip in a cemetery, and yet another has the three guys smoking pot around a campfire and revealing more of their backgrounds. Though Wyatt and Billy are drug dealers hoping to live a life unanswerable to the establishment, they are portrayed as attractive characters bucking the system and  for a time  getting away with it.
This film does not give much attention to Isabelle Romee or Jacques d'Arc (Joan's parents).  If you want to see extensive footage on that you must watch the 1999 TV miniseries Joan of Arc.  Powers Boothe plays a very DARK (d'Arc) Jacques d'Arc - a d'Arc Vader sort of role.  But be sure to get that in DVD and not VHS because the VHS leaves out extremely important scenes such as Jacques d'Arc (Joan's dark father) attempting to snuff out the life of the newborn baby Joan.  You also would miss on VHS the ending scene where Jean d'Metz takes Joan's banner back to Doe-Ray-Me after her death - where you see her parents reaction to the news.
Even if you've never played the video game, didn't like the first "Resident Evil" movie or don't care for a lot of high tech military action in a horror film, I'd still highly recommend you take the time to watch this one.

Besides, if internationally acclaimed Milla Jovovich agreed to add it to her rsum of, among others, "the Fifth Element", "the Messenger: the Story of Jean of Arc" and "the Million Dollar Hotel", it has to be good!

Director Jeremiah Chechik (BENNY AND JOON) has created a modern day fairy tale out of the old series while retaining the droll humor and the surreal touches (the brightly colored teddy bears are a good example). Much of the look of the film resembles the illustrations of modern day children's books especially THE POLAR EXPRESS. My only real complaint with the film is Eddie Izzard's use of the f-word. It is totally out of character with the rest of the film and was added solely to get a PG-13 rating. I was hoping the DVD would include the missing footage cut from the film before its release but no cigar. Sources close to the film say that it would clarify a number of points including the two Mrs Peels. Perhaps we will see it in a future reissue. So for the meantime put away your preconceived baggage and try and take the film on its own terms and you may be pleasantly surprised as I was. After all seeing is believing. Tea anyone?
6757	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Not being an owner of a game console such as a Playstation and the like, I have never spent much time actually playing any of the Resident Evil series. I tried to play them on my PC, but it always seemed like my top of the line PC was being dumbed down by playing console games on it, like it was getting a headache trying to think on the same level as a console. That said, I have however seen the games played by many of friends and know the Resident Evil stories, read some of the comics and a couple of the novels. I know and like the characters and all of the playable ones like Claire Redfield or Jill Valentine. Both have one quality, among others, that Mila Jovovich lacks in abundance- her character Alice is not very likeable. In fact, she isn't much of anything, she isn't even that attractive.

5812	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Resident Evil: Apocalypse manages to be a better action movie than the original.  The movie picks up a few weeks after the end of the first. The action sequences dominate this movie.  'Project' Alice (Milla Jovovich) really breaks out in this sequel.  She awakens stronger by virtue of being injected with the T-virus in the Racoon City Research Center.  We see her being monitored before being released by the conniving Major Cain.  Outside, Project Alice  is confronted with a ravaged Racoon City (seen at the edn of the first movie) and takes up arms.  Alice is now is full at war mode against the zombies and eventually Major Cain and The Umbrella Corporation.  Along the way, she uncovers more lies and betrayal as she wages a war against the evil conglomerate.  There is a side story about the renegade police officer, Jill Valentine and the attempts to rescue Angie Ashford (who has good health thanks to the T-virus injected into her bu her crippled father, Dr. Ashford.  This film provides more background on Alice and the Umbrella Corporation.  There are some good supporting characters in L.J., Carlos, Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory) & little Alice Ashford (Sophie Vavasseur) (AKA as the voice of the 'Red Queen' (The Umbrella Corporation's supercomputer).  The villains are Major Tom Cain played by Thomas Kretschmann and Dr. Isaacs played with gusto by Iain Glen. The anti-hero, Dr. Ashford (the designer of the 'Red Queen') is played well by Jared Harris. All these characters help the story line and provide more background into the movie.  The battle between Project Alice and Nemesis (an acquaintance of Alice's) is very good. The twist ending is good and tells you there is more afoot.  I enjoyed this action movie with zombies thrown in for good measure. PS, the zombie dobermans are back for another bite.  Overall, this is a very good action/science fiction film with some scary moments.
Evenso, from a historical perspective, "Lost Color Archives" does deserve high praise as a solid explanation of the war as a whole.  Because it is told largely from the eye witness point of view, the viewer has a sense of the impending conflict, then the endurance through the war, and finally, the exhausted conclusion.  Emphasis is placed on the fact that the war was over, but that much of the world had been destroyed and that the effects and rememberance of the war would linger on.

Mercedes Ruehl plays Lydia,Jack's live-in girlfriend. Williams' character lost his wife to an explosion that occurred in a bar/restaurant they were at one night. Memorable scenes include Williams' character stripping in the dark in the middle of Central Park then dancing naked. Jack said when he witnessed this,"I should be surprised. I'm not surprised. I'm out of my f---ing mind!". That particular scene was actually X-rated. That scene was either deleted from the over-the-air/basic TV version or the barely visible sexual organ was blurred.

I enjoyed RESIDENT EVIL: APOCALYPSE.  I've never played the video games, but I was surprised by the way the first film was done and I was excited to see this sequel.  In many ways, RE:A is a better film than RE.  My biggest complaint with the movie is that it sets up a third film which makes the movie ten minutes longer than it could have been. But then again, I'm excited to see the third installment and see how everything will come together in the end.


This film has just enough plot to keep us interested but not enough to whet our appetite. For instance, what were the Hispanic men trying to accomplish when they waylaid councilwoman McNeely in Brentwood? How were the police notified so quickly? The cruisers arrived almost immediately after the assault began! I've called the police myself in nice neighborhoods and it took 10 minutes for the bastards to arrive. These cops were on the scene like they'd been teleported there. What were the criminals trying to do? They clearly were not hit men and they were not attempting to rape her as was reported in the film. And had they been hit men they would have slain her immediately and not roughed her up to the point where she screamed for help and drew attention to herself and the ongoing crime. Hit men would have used a sound suppressed pistol to kill her and yet that's not what was done. These guys did nothing but get themselves killed for no reason (They Accomplished Nothing). The film offers vague allusions as to some secret cadre of government officials wanting to start riots  so as to have Blue Thunder's capabilities demonstrated. Unfortunately this is not explored too much in the film. Despite this I enjoyed the film and was surprised by a plot element that was revealed at the end of the film during one of Frank Murphy's flashbacks while engaged in aerial combat.

This film was loosely based on King Arthur and the Holy Grail. I am also sure this film was loosely based on a script. Though the plot is chaotic and the cast few, the movie is funny and witty.

however the plot is not particularly interesting. As so many people get slaughtered during the first 20 minutes, we the
Resident Evil: Apocalypse has all of those things, but none of the spunk.  Where the first movie had a relentless ambiance of terror, Apocalypse is a juiced up action horror without much horror.
In closing, few dissagree that the Holy Grail is, if not The Holy Grail of comedy, certainly one of the great comedic films. However, it would be interesting for some wily editor to splice together footage to create Monty Python and the Holy Grail-Epic.

Despite the fact that this is the first film that these two worked on together, "Bottle Rocket" is every bit as good as the more recognized and well known follow-ups.  This film marks the introduction of a very unique and original brand of humor, a type of humor that can possibly be mistaken for drama if the viewer isn't paying close enough attention.  This is not in your face comedy, but rather a subtle, quirky sense of humor delivered in a deadpan style that in its own way is extremely rewarding and enjoyable.
It is well done and filled with excitement. I know you will like it as I did.


This movie, however, is NOT for everyone.  ESPECIALLY OVERANALYZERS!!  You need to watch the movie for what it is.....a silly comedy.  There is no need to analyze why there's coconuts and no horses or why a woman is getting weighed.  If you want something to ananlyze watch a documentary or a serious movie and go to a coffee shop afterwards to swap notes.  Don't do it while watching the movie and definitely DON'T WATCH THIS ONE!
Knights that go "Nee"?  Wow, that's clever.  I'm sure the creators of this movie were in a meeting thinking real hard about this one when the boss's son comes up with this cockbarf.  Let's have a scene where this group of idiotic knights scream "NEE" loudly and obnoxiously until the viewers brains are completely destroyed. This kind of humor is humor that you'll find in after-school TGIF sitcoms like Full House.  Who is going to laugh at garbage like this? I sure as hell won't which is promptly why I threw a boulder at my television and punched some guy sitting next to me.  I'd rather be shot in the face with projectile diarrhea then watch any parts of this movie again.  As you can see I've bashed this movie pretty good and although it is well deserved, I think it's pretty safe to say I'll be hit with a lot of non-helpful votes.  Good day to you all.

I envy those who have never experienced this movie.  I've seen it (in all its forms) more than any other film (save perhaps Apocalypse Now in its two forms), and there are parts I still MUST watch, whenever it appears on the tube.  It is a movie of mystery and frustration, of identification with the characters and that sense of wonder of exploring the unknown, and while Spielberg's "ET" might've been a compelling exploration of that quest to understand the wonderous unknown, this movie is even more compelling.  And appeals not to the child, but to the child within all of us, so called "adults."

Most of the numbers are very well done, except perhaps for the bizarre "I Think I'm Going To Like It Here" sequence.  Sorry, I just don't believe for a minute all those servants cavorting snd dancing with the sheer joy of serving Oliver Warbucks.  It's a spectacle without any foothold in reality.  What are we supposed to think about the plutocratic rich?  My sympathies are with the bearded anarchist who throws the bomb over the balustrade, the assassination attempt thwarted by that darn Sandy.  The whole moral of the story is, as Ann Reinking suggests to Albert Finney, that his priorities aren't correct.  "Why do you love only money and power and capitalism?  They'll never love you back."  The truth is, they do love back.  The movie could have shown that capitalism is, not too put too fine a point on it, evil; in fact, viewed at in one way, ANNIE is a spectacular, near Brechtian demonstration of the evil of money.

Spielberg re-released it with additional footage in 1980, then altered it again for the film's 1997 re-release on VHS with the extra footage dropped and some scenes never released put back in. Additional material aside, does the film itself deserve a place in the collection of all-time great Science Fiction? The answer is a resounding yes, as the film conveys a sense of excitement, wonder and obsession. Differing from other nihhlistic sci fi films (The Alien movies), Close Encounters is a story of a Roy (Richard Dreyfuss), who, after having an encounter with a U.F.O, starts to become fixated with images and sounds that draw him to the film's conclusion. Roy is the everyman in this movie, and the film centres on a reocurring Spielbergian theme of extraordinary events happening to ordinary people.

This is something every action game provides in one form or another: Sufficiently independent humanoid enemies that are nevertheless so unquestionably evil (Nazis, Imperial Stormtroopers, alien invaders, demons, zombies) that you can blast away at them without reservation.
This film doesn't seek to give the audience a determined opinion of Joan. We don't know whether she is crazy or not. The way she acted makes us doubt if the voices she claimed to have heard were actually God's. The truth is that she "brought back the fire in the French army"  to quote Yolande of Aragon, and she crowned the dauphin as Charles the VII. Her downfall was dramatic and touching, but she remains a big inspiration for everyone in the world who wants to change things for the good. France won the 100 years war and joan was declared a saint.
Starting in 1965, with Rigg, the filmscore was notably updated and played more prominently throughout the story, enhancing the action and suspense. Also, the action itself was boosted. There was never a dull moment with Steed and Mrs. Peel. And these episodes were all FUN -- one embraced a sense that Macnee and Rigg were having a great time in making these films. Now that I've seen episodes from "The Avengers'" earlier years, ('63 and '64), I can see that they dragged quite a bit during that earlier era and were much more soap opera-ish. The fun continued throughout the final year, 1968, even though Linda Thorson was simply never quite as dynamic or as sexy as Diana Rigg. The '68 filmscore and title scenes at the beginning and the conclusion of each episode were spiffed up a bit too.

6754	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	First of all, I don't remember much of what I learned about Joan of Arc in school. And after seeing this movie I don't feel like I know that much more. Actually some bells are ringing in the back of my head, indicating  that some of the elements aren't historically correct. Well, so some  liberties have been taken in the storytelling, but I was still entertained,  and that is usually the point in seeing a movie by Luc Besson.
Milla Jovovich of course looks fine (though kinda grungy) and is a surprisingly good actress.  Although how many people are going to admit that when it's in the context of a movie based on a video game?  She's already shown what she could do in the fifth Element so it really shouldn't come as a surprise but she's definitely proven here that she's more than just a pretty face.

The songs are excellent, from the familiar "Santa Claus is Coming To Town" to the lovely "My World Is Beginning Today" sung by Jessica, the future Mrs. Santa. (For some strange reason, this delightful song is often cut when this production is shown on TV, luckily it is included in the tape.)

I kept searching for some greater idea or POINT (!) to tie everything together and I didn't find it. Granted, I only saw the film once, but if it is so bad that I have no desire to ever see it again-even for the sake of figuring it out, then a one star rating is more than appropriate. Sorry folks, this ain't what it's cracked up to be. I don't mind being depressed by a film if there is some point to it all, but here...

The only major setback is in relation to Jeff Daniels who is not that great in his role; Kelsey Grammer was a much better Washington in Benedict Arnold: A Question of Honor.


The picture is really superb as the blues and the yellows in this film are lovely to look at. Something I never understood on dvd was how poorly both colour tones tend to look on dvd or cable.

Critics have discussed the meaning of the film ever since it came out. Suffice it to say Scorsese's goal was to combine gritty naturalism with a genuine compassion for his characters. If God may have abandoned these lost souls, Scorsese and Schrader have not--at least not completely.

As most ex-wives will do, Jackie is condescending of Isabel, looking down on her as a self-centered woman who cares more for her work and personal life than for the children under her care. They have many sparring sessions and heated arguments, but it's clear that they cannot argue forever, and as the children begin to warm to Isabel, so does the friendship between Jackie and Isabel begin to form. Soon, they are helping each other through tough times, trading tips on caring for the children, but still maintaining that small spark of conflict which will surface time and again as Jackie realizes her children are no longer solely under her influence.

The script is delicious, the chemistry drips over the edge of the mind into a pool of absolute surging tension and visually, The Avengers is very compelling. You will love the fencing scenes, intelligent script, British humor and tongue in cheek capers.
I purchased the DVD back in 2006, when Sony had updated and remastered it in High Def... It doesn't look half bad on my Blu Ray, and it's sold, here, on Amazon, for like $10.00..NEW. Yes, I know, it only has the Original Theatrical Trailer, and it's "JUST" in Dolby surround sound (for you perfectionists).. BUT I don't care, 'cause I'm not paying $350+ for ANY movie. Especially one still readily available on DVD.. (Twilight Ltd Edition"numbered" Blu Ray). I pitty da fool who buys it for that price. Ha!

Fright Night turned out to be just as good as it was nearly 24 years ago, just naturally a little less scary. It's a classic for a reason. It's even one of those feel good older horror films that could become an annual watch around the Halloween season simply for the memories it brings back. We even may hand out an woody award to the squeaky voiced Evil Ed for Hey Baby of the year. All around it was just right for what we'd hoped for in the vampire department. It certainly was enjoyed now as it was many years ago and comes with strong recommendation from the old boy Sid.
The film begins as Anthony, played by Luke Wilson, is checking himself out of a club-med style mental institution where he has spent time for exhaustion--though this despite the fact that he has never actually worked a day in his life. He has, however, to leave the institution through a window so that his best friend Dignan, played by real-life brother Owen Wilson, may think that he has helped him to escape--though this despite the fact that Dignan hasn't actually done anything more than signal his presence with a mirror and wave to the psychiatrist whom he has mistaken for a complicitous janitor. On the bus-ride back home, Dignan shows Anthony his spiral notebook in which he has outlined their life course for the next 75 years. And they are, it seems, already behind schedule. So, to get underway and to provide themselves with a capital base, they plot the robbery of a bookstore. They also enlist the aid of another friend, Bob, played by Robert Musgrave, who will drive the car. The robbery is a success of sorts though their disguises are no disguises and their progress is impeded by the absence of bags that will hold something bigger than a paperback. Dignan is ecstatic over their success and in a fit of good fellowship proposes that Bob be given the "Spirit Award" for his part in the crime. They then go on the lam for a while, hiding out in a large motel on an otherwise uninhabited stretch of Texas highway. There, Anthony spies and falls in love with a member of the motel housekeeping staff, Inez, played by Lumi Cavazos. There are a variety of complications that then conspire to divide the crew, after which Anthony and Bob undertake a series of non-criminal activities such as a paper route and coaching a pee-wee soccer team, and Dignan returns to his old job at the Lawn Wranglers, which serves as a front for the larcenous activities of Mr. Henry, played by James Cahn. Anthony and Dignan eventually reconnect and, for the purposes of bolstering Dignan's self-image, Anthony joins Dignan in one last large-scale heist, meant to impress Mr. Henry. The film ends with that heist and the capture of one of its perpetrators in an act of humanity.

5494	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This is a limited edition blu ray which I bought a copy this week of 12/20/11.  I got mine thankfully because the sellers on here are charging alot more than I paid for it.  35.00 is what they paid for it , as did I. , and they are jacking up the price on you. sadly this only had 3,000 copies made for some dumb reason. I think that eventually this will come out in a regular edition and I will see it five years from now for ten dollars. But maybe not. SO I had no choice; as I loved this version of the movie ever since I saw it at the theater in 1985. the picture looks alot better on this blu ray for sure.  go online to search for a copy if you want one , maybe there is a copy left at 34.00 including shipping. That's what I paid. And perhaps if you wait ,years from now or sooner this will be released again. maybe. it's a bad idea to do limited edition things in my opinion. when I ordered this there was less than five hundred left. so maybe by the time anyone reads this , the only hope you will have of owning this edition is buying a one of this gouging sellers blu rays.  Anyways, this is a classic movie of a nerd who wins the girl by fighting the vampire and his kin. It's alot better than the new version and it has the late great roddy mcdowell in it as the vampire hunter. It's a salute to hammer horror films and more in this modern horror classic. The picture quality is outstanding. afte buying many blu rays with faded pictures or worse this one was completely RESTORED. Unlike lets say 'clash of the titans' from the same decade, this is just a sweet job of blu ray work.
This movie is a visually interesting, unique, and much under-rated and under appreciated show. It won awards for art direction and other stylistic touches, including the Oscar.

I didn't have fond memories of this film, but I surprisingly found myself liking it quite a bit on my second viewing. By switching the locations to the Bahamas it completely changes the dynamics even though theres a slicker-killer like the first movie. Suspense slowly builds as the cast is whittled down and the storm rages. It suddenly becomes clear that they're stuck on this vacant resort with a mad killer! Although the filmmakers couldve taken more advantage of the resort location they did a good enough job. Bottom line: This is a worthy sequel with its own appeal.

What is the film about? King Arthur (Graham Chapman) is seeking knights to join him in the court of Camelot, and after some run-ins with the French, eventually gathers together Sir Bedevere (Terry Jones), Sir Lancelot (John Cleese), Sir Galahad the Chaste (Michael Palin) and Sir Robin the Not So Brave (Eric Idle). After not returning to Camelot for reasons well detailed in the film, the knights are confronted by God who gives them an awesome task - to find the Holy Grail. Now the fun really begins! They have to confront the dangers of The White Rabbit and The Bridge Of Death in order to seek what they hope to find. Many months pass before the possibility of success finally arrives. But then again, perhaps not. In case you are wondering, Terry Gilliam plays the part of Patsy - Arthur's "horse" - but like everyone else also plays a bunch of other parts, so typically Monty Python. Not so typically Monty Python is the fact that apart from Dennis's mother, all female parts are actually played by females!
One disappointing aspect of the film was that, at times, it was too obvious and blatant. It's almost as if the director decided that people were "too lazy" to understand certain parts, so they just thought they'd have a character "fill in" exactly what happened  rather than trying to let you decide on your own or show the scene the way it was intended. One example of this is the conflicts between Pip and Orlick.

All the significant special features from the DVD versions have been ported over and there is plenty of exclusive content for fans. There is over 7.5 hours of total bonus content plus 4 audio commentaries (Twelve Chairs has only a trailer). You also get an exclusive 120-page book in this release.

Where we last left Alice, she and the other survivor of the movie, Matt Addison (Eric Mabius), were captured by the evil Umbrella Corporation for experimentation.  When she awoke, nobody was left alive in the hospital (shades of 28 Days Later).  So Alice does what she always does in an uncertain situation...she grabs a shotgun.
8057	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This movie is pure magic!!  It is the ultimate in "Jungian" adventure and "Hero" searching ala Joseph Campbell.  Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges bring these compelling characters to life...and beyond.  Any student of psychology should perform a Jungian review on this movie.  Joseph Campbell's "Hero With a Thousand Faces" also describes these characters with unparralled accuracy and definition.  Not even "Star Wars" (the original Episode IV) can compare with the intricate psychological spectacular that is "The Fisher King."  Oh, did I mention that I loved this movie???

Special effects are laughable throughout with some particularly hilarious matte and model work during the film's climax involving a hot air balloon traveling at about 5 miles an hour and some awful CGI tornadoes tearing up an equally bad replica of London. The final battle between Ralph and Sean is also very reminiscent of Highlander 2 for some reason (in terms of how bad it is choreographed and edited).

Umbrella wants to know what happened in the Hive so they open it's huge doors, bad idea. The "zombies"(they're not called that in the films) attack the scientists and start to overrun the city. The city people then go to the city's only exit, but someone contracts the virus and turns into one of them.

The result is that both the guy and Jillette's partner wind up very dead, while a stunning blonde in on the setup disappears. He heads south to settle the score and soon finds himself being hunted, with the girl in tow and the local police anything but happy. Gere and Kim Basinger go very well together, and the chemistry between them adds to the movie's realism. "No Mercy" in my view  is one of the better thrillers of the eighties. The action sequences, especially the final shootout in the burning flophouse, are effective enough to satisfy action movie junkies, but there is more to the movie than that. It is well acted, well photographed and well written, in all a superior sort of thriller.

Later choice moments in the season include "Magic Casements", where Lady Marjorie has a brief and tender affair with a young army captain; "The Path of Duty" features the rebellious Elizabeth running away from home on the eve of her society debut; "Why is Her Door Locked?" recounts the unhappy, emotionally-disturbed Mrs Bridges (Angela Baddeley) kidnapping a small child.

6777	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Was she a prophet? Was she a nut? Perhaps she was a sly and highly intelligent manipulator. Maybe she was a feminist in an age of male domination who decided to use God as a ladder to French Royalty. All  interesting possiblities. All completely ignored by this film. I doubt that  even Luc Besson could explain what he thought of Joan of Arc and he doesn't  even try to here. Depite battle sequences that are almost on par with those  of Braveheart, a terrifc cast giving superb performances, and stunning  visuals the film falls completely flat . I would've prefered it if the film  had nothing good in it. It would have been easier to dismiss, but the  presence of such great elements makes the whole that much more of a  disappointment. Milla Jovovich gives her all in the lead role, Malkcovich  is as usual terrific as the sly back stabbing king, Faye Dunaway wreaks of  menace despite being underused. Then we come to Dustin Hoffman as The  Conscience, who I think is Besson's attempt at redeaming himself. After  roaming through the first half of the film, giving us battle sequence after  another, dream sequence after another, all which look magnifecent, but by  the third time you see them you start wondering if he is going anywhere  with this, he doesn't. The Conscience is his feeble attempt at  understanding Joan, but it comes too late, and by then we are not so much  interested in understanding her, as much as we are hoping that the film  would end. By the time the film is over you'll be thinking to yourself,  what a waste of lots of great elements in this completely pointless mess.  Note: The film was released outside America under the title Joan of Arc,  which despite being used before, is a much better title then The Messenger:  The Story Of Joan of Arc which sound more like a TV move then a cinamatic  release.

Bickle is a great character, for me anyway, because he's just a first-rate, if highly exaggerated and malformed, representation of the conflicts that breed in many people, particularly young men, I think. (Myself included.)  Bickle is a pure embodiment of idealism/romanticism curdling into bitter cynicism; the former, however, never totally dies and serves as fuel for the latter.  Travis acutely feels the sort of hopelessness that comes with this perspective; there's nothing Bickle can do, nothing logical, anyway, that will make any difference in the depraved world,  so he mindlessly loathes the darkness and clings to the few remaining misplaced threads of idealism (Placed in the two women he obsesses over, neither of whom much resembles what he imagines them to be) a coping method which inexorably leads to his final explosion.  As far as personal reflections go I, and almost all of us who can feel for Travis, aren't 1/1000 as messed up and nutty as he is, but the reflection is still there and that makes him really hit home.

The movie has a lot of action and even though this is a zombie movie, it's bascically an action/espionage movie with a bunch of zombies running around instead of a simple horror movie. The licker from the first movie has a brief appearance (with some kin), as well as a couple of mutated dogs, and a creature called Nemesis.  The film isn't as gory as the first movie, though there is a lot of violence.  There are also a few unnecessary swears and a shot of a nude Alice in a laboratory.

Resident Evil the first film was essentially a prequel to the first Resident Evil game which took place in the Spencer mansion. The movie was written to provide a prologue to the game even though there's Resident Evil Zero but oh well.

1998	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Great product!

My take:  the two scenes that don't feature Travis only happen in his head.  The first is the scene in the campaign office where Albert Brooks acts out the actions of someone disfigured in the same manner as one of Travis' later victims.  (Travis spends much of his date with Betsy talking about how "silly" this guy is, whom he's never met or heard.)  The second scene is between Iris and Sport dancing in their apartment.  When he turns on a record the music we here is Travis's theme - the sax melody that competes with the jarring street theme in the film's earlier scenes.  (Also, everything that happens after the shoot-out is either a fantasy or Travis's coma dream.)
Davis performance is exceptional, yet did not give him the career you'd expect.  An excellent actor, who died at the age of 41.

Even if you know next to nothing about the religious stuff explained here, this shouldn't present a problem in understanding what's going on.  Demi playing lead role in a movie like this is just amazing to me!
  This was a truly outstanding film both because of the actors themselves, but also because it brought the audience so close to the heart of the film.

Although this sequel clearly had a much bigger budget than the original film, director Alexander Witt has kept it credible and didn't use digital technology to bombard your senses and keep your mind of the lack of a decent storyline. Rather than making you feel like you're watching a computer- made movie where nothing seems real, the special effects help create a desolate and panicky atmosphere with credible characters who struggle to survive in a city that's infested with their undead compatriots, partially decayed K-9s and other creepy lifeforms. The scene where one survivor has to go up against a class of elementary school zombies is just terrifying.

Still with bullets and blood on his mind, Bickle goes to the Lower East Side and instead blasts Harvey Keitel, the pimp of underage hooker Jody Foster  as well as a brothel goon and a reputed Mafioso client. Taking bullets himself in the exchange, Bickel survives and is accepted briefly as a hero by a public who surely does not understand the depth of Bickles insanity or the fact he had attempted earlier to  assasinate a politico.

After a rather grisly scene, they shut down the Hive's computer, but that unlocks all the doors and the undead escape. In the research facility, they're developing a biological weapon known as the T-Virus which reanimates dead blood cells but brings them to it's most simplest want: to eat, and they have a taste for blood and flesh, oddly. So they have to make it out of the Hive before they're trapped.

The sets and costumes fit comfortably with the time setting, as does the language and mannerisms. The picture is clear and clean, not distorted by fading colors or other problems. While it was made for TV, I did not find the breaks to be annoyingly obvious as with some. The DVD includes extras, including an interesting account of the movie being made, as well as interviews. One part shows how stunt men made the battle scenes appear real- something younger viewers might enjoy.

The big-name actors (we ADORE Mandy Patinkin!) the cultural humor that goes over the heads of the little children...this just never gets old. Elmo in Grouchland and Follow That Bird are the two Sesame Street films that will simply live forever.

The image quality is spectacular on Blu-ray and looks terrific on DVD as well. I have to give Spielberg credit; unlike, say, George Lucas, Spielberg presents his original vision with as much respect and care as he does his later revisions. You can pick and choose which version appeals to you--I liked the original version a lot in 1977, disliked the 1980 "Special Edition" and loved the "Director's Cut" of the film. What was subtle in the first version was blunt in the second and has been returned to subtle in the third version with better pacing and cuts that work better with the flow of the film. Fans of the film will love having all 3 versions so they can pick and choose which version they like.

Either way, let's pray this won't stink.  And let's pray it makes more money than E.T. when it comes out that same week.

2767	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Easy Rider is a movie that captured the counterculture atmosphere of the 1960s. Produced during the decline of the studio system, Easy Rider, directed by Dennis Hopper, was made on a small budget and is today regarded as a cinematic milestone, ushering in the New Hollywood movement.
Beautifully crafted, well-written, and expertly acted, Fright Night delivers the goods on so many levels.  The scares work, the humor works, and the expertly done special effects hold their own against any other film of the period.  Chris Sarandon is perfect as vampire Jerry Dandridge.  His outward demeanor exudes a cool, sexy charm, while beneath burns the vicious, tortured monster who will stop at nothing to get what he wants (in this case, Charlie's girlfriend Amy), and ensure his own survival.  Roddy McDowall gives a brilliantly hammy performance as Peter Vincent, the "great vampire killer" from his long-since passed days in low budget horror movies.  I simply cannot imagine any other two actors playing those roles (I have yet to see the 2011 remake).  I suppose any two good young actors of the day could have played Charlie and Amy, but William Ragsdale and Amanda Bearse made those roles their own.  And Stephen Geoffreys delivers a wonderfully likable comic portrayal of Charlie's friend, "Evil" Ed.

Its one of the best teen films I've seen in a while.  I also thought Dominique Swain is someone to definitely watch out for.  She's a great actress who put a lot of heart into this role.  Her groupie character is very realistic and believable.
7942	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I studied the Fisher King legend many years ago and was much moved by the simple and beautiful story of ignorance, loss, suffering and spiritual redemption. Since then I have seen this movie at least 20 times and I love it more every time. Richard Gravenese's surprising and delightful modern adaptation is brilliantly illuminated by Terry Gilliam's elegant direction and delivers inspired performances by a seasoned and well-selected cast. Mercedes Ruhl won the Oscar but both Robin and Jeff deserved one as well. (Watch for Tom Waits in a GREAT cameo in the stunning scene at Grand Central Station). CAUTION: this film contains some violent images which may be disturbing to some.
Christopher Hodson, who directed 14 episodes, described U/D as "the sort of series that doesn't come along more than once in a lifetime."  Few would disagree.
  What you will see are the trials, the laughter, the heartache, and love that both; the servants below and the Lords above go through in their journey  through life together. When the series ends you come to an understanding that these people all of them shared a life, with all of its ups, and downs, that they loved and relied on one another, just like a family does.

They include the gratitude and respect of Iris's parents, and the return of Betsy, who he now gets the better of by rejecting her instead of the other way around.  I didn't see it that way as I watched the film, but I see it that way now.  Those are exactly the scenes Travis would imagine.  That is exactly the kind of hero he would like to be.  Respectable, desired, and the savior of a young girl who will now go back to school and be good.  It's hard to tell which he would get more satisfaction from - being invited to dinner by Iris's parents or being adored by Betsy.  I think he'd pick Iris's parents.  This makes him a true hero, a clean hero.

Many episodes are connected to such real events as the death of Edward VII, World War I, the Silvertown munitions factory explosion, the 1926 General Strike, and the Stock Market Crash.  The producers gave great attention to verisimilitude -for example, consulting with Buckingham Palace staff regarding protocol for hosting the king's visit to 165 Eaton Place.

 Resident Evil is a prequel to the games. It all starts off by showing us the Hive, an ubersecret testing facility that is underneath the fictional town of Raccoon City. When a virus is purposely released into the atmosphere of the facility, the security system takes over and locks the place up, locking up and murdering all of the facility's workers. Above ground in a mansion, Alice (Mila Jovovich) wakes up with a case of amnesia, and is soon bombarded by a team of "commandos" that go into the underground facility to figure out what happened. After this, chaos ensues and zombies are hoarded.
Andrew Niccol's script and direction is absolutely brilliant and should be leave the viewer believing he's made one of the finest sci-films of all time. It is truly a classic.
From the joy of their childhood, to the tragedy of their lives is stunning. This is a movie that brings me to tears every time I see it.
As much as I love Downton Abbey, I felt that this season of Upstairs, Downstairs credibly explored all the complexities of WW I - focusing more on the personal lives of the occupants of 165 Eaton Place and how the war affects them all in terms of relationships, duties, and sacrifices. This is one of the best British period dramas I've ever watched, and that's saying a lot given the vast number of BBC period dramas I've amassed over the years. I plan to get the 40th Anniversary DVD of all five seasons of this show to add to my collection. Upstairs Downstairs is truly a timeless classic



Uma Thurman is given essentially nothing to do. At the outset, she is a relatively intriguing character - possibly another invalid posing as a valid - and there seems to be promise of future development where we learn more about her. Instead, her character ultimately amounts to a love interest for Hawke so that we can have a melodramatic scene towards the finale backed by a sappy string arrangement. Her character goes nowhere and ends up being completely flat.

This is not a movie I'd ever want to watch again under any circumstance.
Not helping at all was how dated the musical segments were.  This special was released in 1970, and it shows.  I got a definite flower power vibe off the animation during the songs.  There were a couple of other times I felt a bit of that crept into the story.  You might also describe it as psychedelic.  My roommate found this aspect even more annoying than I did; I was mostly able to ignore it and get lost in the story again when it was over.
 What makes Holy Grail so deliriously funny is the absolute anarchy of it all, the wide range of jokes, running and self contained. It has off the wall moments of nonsense that surely must have been dreamt up by the clinically insane. The Knights who say "Ni", the killer rabbit, the bridge of death, none have lost their power to split the sides of the viewer. Best are John Cleese's Black Knight and Michael Palin's repressed peasant: "Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being repressed!"
The biggest problem is black level,as darker scenes often look muddy and a bit grainy. Putting both widescreen and fullscreen transfers on the same side of the disc has also resulted in higher instances of digital artifacting than normal.

Just look at Dennis Hopper. Typical from the generation and he is just a burn out. Listen to the commentary on the additional making of feature. They talk about him ranting and raving about the government and how they knew what they were doing when making the movie. He sounds like a raving idiot.

2171	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I saw this film for the first time in theaters with my aunt and a friend, at the time, bad move!(long story) I'm much more analytical now with movies, most of the time. Harrison Ford does a very good president who has a no-nonsense approach to terrorism, led by a cold and merciless terrorist Gary Oldman. The plot is fairly easy to follow, and composer Jerry Goldsmith, who I'd swear Saw composer Charlie Clouser took some tips from) once again has an excellent musical score. Even though I do enjoy this film, I do have a couple issues with it: first, I know Gary Oldman is the primary villian in this film, and the script makes him very easy to hate, more with actions and facial expressions. However, he isn't the only character I couldn't stand, Dean Stockwell as the Defense Secretary, how pathetic, in this case. Aside from Harrison Ford, Glenn Close, the wife played by Wendy Crewson from Good Son and daughter, some characters don't last long enough to even care about. And in movies like this, you have to know the villian has back-up, unfortunately, that cliche has gotten very old for me, along with the "kill the witness formula". All that aside, this also set the stage for two other similiar movies recently released in theaters, both that I watched and overall liked-Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down) This film however, seemed like a blueprint for those films, even though, obviously, the new ones, seemed a lot more intense. In those films, however, at least with White House Down, the media was as bad as the terrorists! When it comes to news reporters and tabloid reporters, whatever celebrities want to dish out at them, including violence, dare I say it? Bravo! Esp. when they are so relentless and don't care who they hurt to get their story, remember Princess Dianna? Don't even get me started!

1680	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I have been enjoying this series very much.  The video quality of these shows on DVD is pretty good.  I was concerned about that after reading a review here but those concerns proved to be unfounded.
I especially liked when Charlie, the typically sex-starved teenager, gets curious and discovers his neighbor, Jerry Dandridge's secret.  It's really funny when he tries to convince the policeman of a murder.  Even Amy thought he was cracked.
I think the best reason to see the film is the performance delivered by Jackie Gleason.  It is a tour de force of how to provide humanity to such an unsympathetic character.  There is much subtlety and skill in his portrayal of Max Basner and it is very memorable.

3824	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Which isn't a good thing. If you've seen any recent horror flicks within the past 10 years(Taking Lives, Wrong Turn, I Still Know What you Did Last Summer, Scream), then you know it's filled with the dummest imaginable good guys, cheesy plot and almost un-killable bad guys. And scenes that are supposed to thrill you and you just wonder when this is going to end. I almost fell asleep in a few of those movies, that's how lame, tiring and boring they are. Fortunately, for this film, it has Jessica Alba and Seth Green, who are two fantastic actors/actresses and are always delightful to see. Seth Green is hilarious as the main characters buddy, and Jessica Alba is more then sexy. However, the movie is beyond cheesy(like a hand jumping out a microwave through the window, smashing the glass in the mean time and landing in the bush, but it can't escape the microwave. Or, when the lady(played by Vivica A. Fox(Kill Bill)) is hit by a car, which is backing up, and then is sent 50 feet. Uh huh, that's realistic. Ends sarcasm.) Then there is tones of un-necessary gore and silly scenes like the guy losing his head. And how exactly did his buddies get back? They don't explain anything and assume everything is magical. It delivers the comedy pretty well, thanks to Seth Green for that, but is just too silly, far too cheesy and extremely lame(a hand that is possessed? Please, give me a break.)

This one-disc Collector's Edition is also a real treat for fans as it has been restored very, very well for an excellent picture and sound quality.

It's sometimes hard to remember that Robert DeNiro was once a serious actor and not a semi-comedian who has sunk to the level of self-parody. However, watching "Taxi Driver" makes you realize how DeNiro gained his reputation in the first place. It is DeNiro's performance that makes "Taxi Driver" and without it, this film would have been long forgotten. That's not to say that the script, directing and other acting aren't also great. It's just that, the focus of this film is on one man's descent into madness and obsession, and without a convincing actor in the lead role, this film would not have worked. The intensity of DeNiro's performance translates well into Binkle's own intensity in his crusade.
This is definitely one of Woody's early funny ones!

It is a gut wrenching story of survival in the worst of conditions pulled off beautifully. The acting is great, the mood is set just right, and it had me glued from start to finish. NOW with all that being said just watch it and ignore the "based on a true story" part. I did alittle research after seeing the flick and it kinda ruined my movie experience. Let's just say Hollywood took alot of liberty with the book but probably made a better movie for it. Highly recommended. A

6194	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Though Barbra Streisand kind of gets in the way of her own movie, The Prince of Tides does have some expertly compelling sequences, most chillingly the flashbacks that seriously do justice to Pat Conroy's epic  novel.  Dealing most significantly with the inner child, and the  revelations that can free us, the book and the film successfully engage you  with a rich sense of time and place.  The characters who populate the film  sometimes seem from two different worlds, but I think that is part of the  point.  Kate Nelligan and Jason Gould will surprise you with unusually good  performances, and of course, Nick Nolte does some of his best acting ever  in this film -- the role suits him; even its grander touches seem so - so -  Tom.  The score, by James Newton Howard, swirls symphonically around the  action of this movie, and is achingly beautiful.
I watched this movie when it came out back in 1997. All opinions are my own.


There are also a variety of cultures shown here, which is equally interesting. Yes, we get the hippie commune of "city-folk" men and women trying their best to live off the dry, dusty land. We see small-town deep south, where the teen girls are intrigued by the strangers and the men-folk are threatened. There are the prostitutes of New Orleans, the quiet farmer and his family, and more. Everyone has their own view on life and what it means to live.
5443	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Wow! I can't recall the last time I saw so many heated reviews.
This DVD includes audio commentary by Matthew Lillard, Michael Goorgian, and writer/director James Meredino. The commentary is really funny. What I noticed in it was the fact that they mentioned they took out some scenes, so where are all the deleted scenes? This DVD also includes the trailer for this film, and the movie "go". It also shows art stills from the original comic book. There's not a behind the scenes look, but I guess it's still cool. There is a lot of flash backs in this film, which when Stevo goes back into talking to the person you go, "woo I forgot he was talking to that guy". It is fantastic to see those effects. If you listen to punk music, or is interested in the punk philosophy, you need to watch this slightly twisted film.

6129	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	OK, if you can sympathize with an idiot who would strap several kilos of hash to his body to smuggle them from a country where penalties for such crimes are often met with DEATH, then you can go with this slick,  atmospheric and incredibly violent movie.  Admittedly, it gets under your  skin, and Brad Davis was mightily effective in the role of Billy Hayes, and  John Hurt embodies creepily the stoned out prison mate Billy befriends  during his harrowing odyssey.  But this movie, directed with typical  stylish flair by visual master Alan Parker, never places the blame squarely  on Billy's shoulders, poor dumb guy.  And while his torturous stay in the  Turkish prisons practically smells, it is so dense and well-captured, it  did nothing for the image of Turkey, the country -- it is uncompromising  and brutally vicious in its depiction of virtually every Turkish location,  character and idea, for that matter.  If Turkey was such a pit of despair,  why did Billy decide to buy his hash there?  This movie revolves around a  character who is unrepentant and foolish, and while no one should have to  endure such human indignation, it is hard to escape that simple fact.  Parker's movie, taken on its own terms, has an almost poetic quality at  times, though Billy's dismissal of the Swede's advances actually made me  laugh out loud, and, by the way, was consummated in the book.  With so much  depravity at every turn, and hellish imprisonment your destiny, why  wouldn't Billy seek another human, even if he happens to be a man?

only part of that individual. The level of detail and nuance in the acting here
Somewhere during its development, 'Last Action Hero' started off as a [supposedly] clever idea, even metaphysical, high-concept pitch. The story works as a sort of reverse spin on Woody Allen's 'The Purple Rose of Cairo.' Life in the big city slums of New York hasn't been easy for young Danny Madigan [Austin O'Brien]. In between home invasions and muggings, the boy's only form of entertainment is to watch films at the run-down old theatre where he's befriended the doddering projectionist Nick [Robert Prosky] who owns his personal Cinema. Like most 12 year-olds, he has an enthusiasm for films but hasn't yet developed taste in them. His favourites are the mindless shoot-'em-ups starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, yes, the actor name-checks himself, as loose cannon cop Jack Slater. After one particularly bad day, his projectionist friend offers Danny Madigan a special advance screening of 'Jack Slater IV', all by himself at midnight. The boy jumps at the chance. When he arrives, he's also given a magic ticket said to be passed down from Harry Houdini. Danny Madigan is in hog heaven as he settles down to watch Jack Slater take revenge on the Mafioso, who killed his second-cousin.

The only things I wish were covered in the film was the real escape by Hayes and how he was helped by Greece and sent back to the U.S. The Greeks could very easily have sent Hayes back across the border to Turkey but in recognition of the cruel beating and rape that awaited him back in Turkey, the Greeks did the right thing and sent him home. Also, what happened to his friend "Max", we are never told.

5696	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Loved it !!!  The action was great
A River Runs Through it is a work of great beauty and true poetry.  It is a film that I believe is destined to become a significant part of our national heritage, and in the long run I also believe that it is the most significant work for which Robert Redford will be remembered (not to take anything away from his other excellent work.)  During his time here on earth, it would appear that he has been fortunate enough to attain something resembling wisdom, and all of it is communicated in the exquisitely simple, yet divinely inspired, way in which this film gives us these characters and this story.
Some footnotes, Oliver Stone wrote this film and is notorious for exagerating the truth in his works (i.e, Platoon, JFK, Salvador).  He recieved an Oscar for his screenplay adaptation of Hayes' book.  This movie was filmed in Malta, not Turkey as some uninformed writers have posted for this film.  People should do their homework before posting a review.
In conclusion, this is quite simply an outstanding dramatic series. I would, in fact, go so far as to say that it is required viewing for anyone who enjoys first-rate period drama. But its appeal is broad enough to be enjoyed by anyone who enjoys compelling, captivating, and often thought-provoking drama; and if you enjoy a dramatic series with lots of "goings on," scandal, and so forth, you'll enjoy it all the more! It's a large set, but it's well worth taking a chance on.  I simply cannot imagine anyone not enjoying it.  Those who've enjoyed Upstairs Downstairs will surely want to check out The Duchess of Duke Street (both of which were produced by John Hawkesworth).

An important, landmark film. And probably one of my all time 5  favorites. Great DVD to boot. Be sure you pick up the Special Edition,  though.
Daddy Warbucks is a tireless enemy to crime in all its forms & devotes his life to bringing justice to criminals who escape legal punishment. That is what Punjab & The Asp are for, they are efficient assassins who step in when "Daddy" needs them. Annie isn't a cute singing moppet, she is a pint-sized adventuress who endures true hardship & tragedy and often joins in Warbucks' fight against crime. Punjab is not a sideshow conjurer, Gray's world is filled with *real* magic, miracles, and supernatural occurrences. The drunken carpet-baggers in this movie would be no challenge at all to the real Annie or Warbucks, and if they crossed a certain line, the real Daddy Warbucks would send the Asp along in the night to make sure they would never hurt children again.
The DVD set is spectacular, with a host of the kinds of features DVD lovers crave. I had previously owned the movie on VHS, but the DVD has a vastly clearer print with more vivid colors.
Special mention must go to the point where the modern historian comments on the action, then gets summarily hacked down by a passing knight. The only problem with this scene is that it sets in motion a sort of plotline which results in the rather sudden and (to me) disappointing ending, which was funny, but I would have rather liked to see the main Quest plot carried to its conclusion.

8022	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I've always loved this movie and finally got it on DVD.  There's maybe not a complex plot, however it's full of quirky characters that are somehow likable. Robin Williams is fabulous as a former college professor and Jeff Bridges as a former Shock-Jock who have crossed paths.  There is of course a dark undertone to keep one interested.
The movie shows off what it does best, and that is the walking dead. And the utterly creepy thing about the undead in this movie, is that they're not creatures from another dimension, but former humans all killed for a senseless purpose, their bodies reanimated for one purpose: Feeding on the living inhabitants (however, how they tell living from dead apart continues to be a mystery to me). This increases the creepy factor just a little bit more than usual. The acting (Spanning from minor to major, and undead) is amazing, never wooden or unrealistic for a moment.
7243	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Annie is a great story and the film is up to the task. Performances are superb and the music is wonderful. I loved the stage musical but I loved the ending in the movie version even better. My granddaughter age 6 also really enjoyed it.
Perhaps it even takes the multiple re-cuts. This film made a big impact on me when I first saw the original version; watching the re-cuts and analyzing why it had such an impact for me did go hand in hand. It is very interesting to now see side-by-side the three different versions of this film which Spielberg came out with reworking it over the years; I'm happy to have the three provided together in this anniversary DVD. The line from the film which I made into the title of this review--spoken by one of Neary's sons--was actually not in the original cut. But it summarizes the original just as well as it does the other two versions (the "special edition" and the subsequent, "director's cut"), nonetheless. Spielberg followed his gut in this film, but he didn't check his brain at the door. Both have served him well. I see the original edition as the definitive one, and the two re-cuts as commentary and footnotes. Spielberg has referred to the director's cut as penultimate. I do not exclude the possibility of a new, ultimate version. Spielberg says that the original version suffered by being rushed due to studio pressures, and that the special edition was compromised by studio politics which required a "peek inside the mothership." The director's cut, it seems to me (and others), was compromised by being made-for-tv.  The original or theatrical version won an Oscar for cinematography.  The second two editions do provide insight (and unused footage) into Spielberg's original vision; but I think the original cut still remains the best overall version to date.

5537	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	When I've read and have heard all these positive reviews for this gigantic turkey I just can't believe my eyes or ears! I mean has anybody even read any of the comic books?! Well I have and FYI they were a lot more clever than this trash. I just don't see that this movie took any cues from the comic nor is it even as well written!! The cheesey attempts at humor were completely embarrassing as jokes/humor(if You call it that) felt like it was written by a 12 year old!! The comics that I read for Fright Night didn't meddle in worthless jokes and in general made them poignant. It wasn't just about dumb laughs for no real reason such as this turd of a movie possessed. I found William Ragsdale's performance as Charlie Brewster to be dorky! And needless to say he was alot better on Herman's Head. Chris Sarandon was not only very inconsistant in his laughable performance as vampire Jerry Dandridge but he was neither funny nor clever! To say nothing of that scene where one moment he's telling Charlie Brewster that he would give him a chance to forget all about him and what he knows then the next he's strangling him while trying to push him out the window. My gosh are they sure this is a comedy? 'Cause that was a crude moment. Anyway I liked Chris alot better in Child's Play a few years later. Amanda Bearse in a Pre-Married With Children role as Charlie's love interest was a forgivable enough performance despite her not giving it her all! Whoever that really annoying dork was that played Ed/Evil Ed he was just too unbearable and not very funny. The only thing he did that would even remotely pass as funny was his poor attempt to try and fly out a window appearing to fall. I'm sorry but there just isn't any excusing this bucket of vomit at all! Needless to say Roddy McDowell should just stick with Planet of the Apes! He just tried too hard in his half-a**ed performance as Peter Vincent. Anyhoo if you want to see a real vampire comedy I recommend you try Vampire in Brooklyn,Once Bitten, or even My Best Friend's a Vampire and stay away from this eye cancer on celluloid all together!

If you are a fan of the videogames, or have at least played them once or twice, you'd know that the whole idea behind this game (and the endless copycats) is to scare you.  You play it locked up in your room in the dead of night and find yourself transported to a place that shocks you.  Every noise makes your heart jump.  That is the exact feeling I wanted from this movie.  `Resident Evil' is not an action/adventure type game.  It is a dark and slowly paced horror game.  That is what this movie needed to be.  It needed to layer on the fear and tension, not the action.  Sure, it's cool to see Milla Jovovich kick some serious zombie butt, but I'd rather have seen her hyperventilate in a dark room while she listened to the corpses dragging their broken limbs across the hall on the other side of the door.

Director Wolfgang Petersen deserves most of the credit for making this film work as well as it does. There are plenty of thrilling action sequences, especially the one that closes out the movie. Harrison Ford is a bit stiff as the President at the beginning of the film, but loosens up and does fine once he gets into action hero mode. Gary Oldman is wonderfully creepy as the main terrorist. Glenn Close and Dean Stockwell do fine as the Vice President and Defense Secretary. William H. Macy is, as always, perfect in a supporting role. Wendy Crewson is also good as the First Lady.

A+!  The English audio is presented in DTS MA 5.1, (not Dolby Digital 5.1), and again, it has never sounded better.  From start to finish, the sound is full and rich, with good use of all channels. Even my subwoofer got a workout, with the bottom-end of the musical numbers shaking the room. Rumor has it that some 70mm theatrical presentations had "directional dialogue" (where the voices follow the actors across the front speakers), but that is not the case here (it is always from the center channel, as is now common).

Laura Mars is a photographer with a unique style, as her work often features attractive models in provocatively violent or edgy situations.  Unfortunately, someone has been murdering people, and then arranging the dead body or bodies, to resemble photos published in her book, The Eyes of Laura Mars.  Police Lt. John Neville (Jones) is already working the case, when people who are connected to Mars begin to turn up dead, killed by being stabbed in the eye.  In a strange psychic twist, Mars is apparently able to see the murders through the killer's eyes.

5096	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Possibly Wes Anderson's funniest movie.  Its characters were flimsy fluts trying to become big time with a lack of direction and mental capacity.  They made me laugh and laugh again.  They just weren't clued in to the same channel that everyone else was watching.  And there lies the brilliants behind Anderson's movies.  He takes a character and gives him a gung-ho attitude about wierd and trivial things-and everyone else takes these characters seriously.  It is unique.  The colors of this movie shine, the jokes punctuate and the acting was off the wall.  I recommened this movie to anyone who is searching for a new type of humor developed from some very funny men.

With brief appearances by Elton John, Bob Hoskins and other well-known Brits, a wholeheartedly unexciting speedboat adventure, and countless attempts at failed humor, Spice World is still unable to create entertainment that reaches beyond diehard fans of the all-girl group.

When the group revives an unconscious sick kid by suggesting that Ginger Spice take her top off, it's apparent that their true talents are not in the music.

A heads up of what to watch for in this movie: its well-structured plot, which, despite its melodramatic subject matter, weaves a fine web of love, hate, revelation, and the courage to overcome hardships. The romance that eventually takes flight between Tom and Lowenstein is run-of-the-mill, from their shared family discord to their realization that it cannot last forever. Even still, these aspects are given some vitality: Tom agrees to help her son become a football player, and later antagonizes her haughty celebrity husband at a dinner party in one of the film's most memorable scenes. The bittersweet ending has been done countless times before, but it's helped by the fact that we have come to like the characters and can appreciate, if not comprehend, their situation.

7114	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	INTO THIN AIR, based on Jon Krakauer's best seller, is not an easy film to watch.  The brutal reality of such an endeavor is brought home in the hopelessness and grief that the crew endures and in the lost lives of five of its members.  I for one cannot understand anyone's reason for going on such a frightening expedition; some of the climbers weren't even experienced enough to climb ladders, let alone this monstrous peak.  Although the script doesn't flesh out the characters enough for us to truly empathize with their emotions, there is enough real drama in some of the characters to inspire such empathy.  Rob (played quite well by Nat Parker) is an interesting character and his final scene with his pregnant wife, is heartbreaking, and acted remarkably well.  Christopher McDonald doesn't bring enough real life to his Krakauer performance, hence we lose a lot of impact in his emotional narrative.
For those of you who have apparently been losing sleep over these, and other questions raised by the movie, I offer a response. (And I'm really hoping the guy who was confused about the swallows carrying the coconuts was just kidding.)

Leo McKern, a well-known British character actor perhaps most famous internationally for 'A Man for All Seasons' and 'Shoes of the Fisherman', found this great role late in life, and became the quintessential image for Rumpole.  He performed the role through all the episodes (presented in the UK originally starting in 1978, and continuing with a few gaps through 1992, and presented in the USA via the PBS Mystery series approximately the same time), joined by two different actresses portraying Hilda Rumpole (Peggy Thorpe-Bates and Marion Mathie), affectionately referred to as 'She Who Must Be Obeyed'.  Rumpole's mannerisms and penchant for the less genteel things in life are done by McKern in a perfect contrast to the others in Chambers, be they Guthrie Featherstone (played by Peter Bowles as an upper-middle, Conservative-Labour MP QC) or 'Soapy Sam' Ballard (Peter Blythe), Claude Erskine-Brown (Julian Curry) or Phyllida Erskine-Brown ne Trant (Patricia Hodge).
The movie has deep, deep layers of religious themes too. Natural births are called "God-childs" and are looked down upon. One scene that struck a chord with me is the one where Jerome slaps Vincent in the face with Gattaca's perversion of unconditional grace: "Don't you get it! When they see you, they don't see you anymore, they see me." Another profoundly religious parallel is seen in Jerome's parting gift. Here is a playboy at heart, who learns self sacrifice. He gives Vincent "two-lifetimes" worth of blood and flesh, that he (and in a sense they both together) might ascend into the heavens. As a Christian, this variation, this strange communion of souls, struck a chord with me. As Jerome put it; "I lent you my body. You lent me your dreams."

What a horrible memory that is!  I am a 33-year-old male, and in my entire life I have never wanted to leave the movie-house as badly as I wanted to while watching this pile of rubbish.  I have never walked out on any movie, much to my dismay.  I should have left during this one.  In fact, I remember at least 4 people leaving the theater, never to return.  One scene, in particular, haunts me to this very day.  There is a complex conspiracy afoot, and the villains all meet one last time before the crime will unfold.  They decide to wear disguises to conceal their identities.  They are all dressed in giant, multi-colored Teddy Bear costumes!!!  What?  Yes, you read it correctly.  It is so incredibly stupid that I have a hard time retelling it without my lower intestine reaching up and strangling my brain.

7687	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	The Fisher King is another great symbolic film directed by Terry Gilliam, the other I love being The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, which shares some elements with The Fisher King. "The Fisher King" is a reference to an Arthurian story, which has numerous versions. Essentially, the king is a seeker of truth or enlightenment (the Holy Grail stands for that) who has a wound that will not heal- until he does this and that. The same sort of healing trajectory is found in transformational/alchemical "fairy tales". Using my Jungian symbolic perspective, the character Parry is an inner figure of Jack's, some aspect of his psyche who was traumatized once, likely in childhood. The Red Knight is the pain, the suffering, the anger, and the fear that was born of the trauma.

Blackman and Rigg were two very positive role models in a time when most women were victims, wives or secretaries on telly at the time.

Milla Jovovich is a pretty face who has mostly been in forgettable, silly comedies and the Resident Evil franchise which might as well be considered a silly comedy for all its worth. Here, she has two modes of acting, a strange amphetamine delivery of her lines as if she couldn't spit them out fast enough, or a snarled scream as if acting was merely being the loudest person on the set. It is not a nuanced performance. For the entirety of the film she seems completely out of place.

I mean c'mon; where's the S.T.A.R.S. team? Where's the spooky libraries and bloodthirsty crows? I certainly don't recall any computerized defense system in the video game mansion. It was simple; savage dobermans, cannibalistic zombies, and numerous random monsters created by the T-virus. The game was thrilling, it had a style unlike any other console thriller ever created. It gave people goosebumps, it made you afraid to walk down dark hallways after you played it, and for the more timid, yet determined gamers, it made you do things such as sleep with some sort of weapon next to you, and the lights turned on. But this movie, every single shred of it was horrifying - horrifyingly stupid, that is. If the rating system could go any lower, I'd rate this movie about a negative 3 stars. I'm ashamed I actually bought a ticket to go see it, may the lord forgive me for being such an imbecile.
This series is the anthesis of US television today. There is no homogenious, mind-numbing script or acting that often frequents US television. You can not sit back with half your attention and expect to enjoy - at that level it will only confuse and frustrate. It takes your full attention as John Mortimer sneaks in short phrases and/or concepts that open up to incredible ideas and concepts. And all takes place in the 1970s - so the UK was suffering from similar cultural pains as the US - who would have guessed, except historians!

Cinematography is first class with some great scenes and angles provided by Michael Chapman, wonderful soundtrack and a genuinely meaningful storyline. De Niro provides narration in parts and this hints at the theme which Scorsese would later develop into his trade mark (narration and freeze frames) But here we have a fresh and eager crew and cast delivering up a powerful cinematic punch. The ending is quite violent, in the extra features the documentary (which is well worth a watch on it's own) explains this had to be toned down (colour and saturation wise - blood) to make the R rating, once you see the scene you'll understand why back in this time period the gore was deemed unacceptable. Don't dismiss Taxi Driver as a gore fest pure violence film, there is a serious moral side to the production and it successfully manages to convey a gloomy atmosphere and looks into the mind of a genuinely good man, who is mostly alone and struggling with life.

The music and photography are excellent, and if you have the technology to watch the DVD in Dolby 5.1 Surround, you'll love the sound work.

After they have sex in a horse stall in a dirty barn after a concert, Andrea's voice over tells us she "feels like a princess." This film has got a great handle on the neediness of young girls and how much value they put on a guy's opinion. It explores how a girl can easily let a guy overshadow her, and how she puts him on a pedestal whether he deserves to be there or not. Like it or not, girls act like this. The film is honest and raw in its portrayal.

The film centers around a delinquent kid named Danny who skips school constantly so he can watch movies (namely Jack Slater Films) in a rundown theater run by a kindly old man. The old timer offers to show Danny an advance screening of the latest Jack Slater film provided he attends school. And he does so after being mugged in his own home and having day dreams of Arnold (who also plays himself along with Jack Slater) starring in a much more action oriented version of the film adaptation of Hamlet during class. When Danny arrives at the cineplex, he's given a magical ticket by the old man who says that it was given to him by Harry Houdini. Later on, while Danny is enjoying the movie, the ticket sparkles and he's instantly thrust into the celluloid world of Jack Slater who's hot on the case of Tony Vivaldi.

Poor Dignan, despite all of his big plans and enthusiasm, is really just a loser going nowhere, while Anthony basically just wants the world to slow down to his low-key pace and to be reunited with Inez.  The whole film thrives on a fairly intellectual brand of comedy - no toilet humor, outrageous pratfalls, or low-brow, course jokes to generate cheap laughs.  Sure, the movie is sort of stupid, but the comedy certainly isn't.  Basically, you either get Bottle Rocket or you don't.  That's probably one of the reasons that the film has never managed to generate a giant blip on the radar screens of movie viewers - and that's too bad because Bottle Rocket really is a funny little oddball of a film.

When a historical drama is able to make you feel transported back through time, it has succeeded.

9296	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	The whacky bunch behind Monty Python's Flying Circus got together in 1974 and crafted one of the most absurdly hilarious films ever made with Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  Python vets Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin weave together a series of skits involving King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table's search of the Holy Grail; and on the way they encounter an invulnerable Black Knight ("I'll bite your legs off!"), a killer white rabbit, three headed knights who say "Ni!", and a castle full of swooning, virginal seductive maidens.  Whether you are a fan of the series or not, you will find this film one of the funniest movies you'll ever see, and it is an essential comedy to anyone and everyone.  The DVD features are more than worth noting as well; the double disc DVD features a laugh out loud commentary by Gilliam and Jones along with Cleese, Idle, and Palin, three karaoke-esque sing alongs, Gilliam's original artwork, fantasticly designed interactive menus based on Gilliam's art, and tons more.  If you own this on video or own the older edition DVD, then you should immediately pick this Special Edition up right away.

Come on people this movie was supposed to be silly, I'm not sure if the T.V. show was or not (but it was anyway).  Don't get me wrong I loved the show just a well and at times better than  this movie. I did think the "Mother"/"Father" stuff  went a bit far, even that wasn't that bad.

1574	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	I've read the book (10 times) and seen all the movie versions.  The "Jane" in this video was unbelievably haughty and unattractive.  How in the world did Rochester ever fall in love with her?  When they kiss in the movie there is the "chemistry" (mentioned in other reviews), but lust isn't what the book is all about.  All my favorite passages were cut out or adulterated beyond recognition.  This would be a terrific disappointment to any one who really loves the book.
Monty Python is an acquired taste, and this is their best film to help in the acquisition. Holy Grail is a highlight of a youngster's coming of age, providing a host of quotes and situations that are referenced forever after: the buxom maiden whom the duke tells his effete son to marry because she has "vast [slight pause] tracts of land"; the French knights somehow ensconced in a castle in England, who tell Arthur they don't want to join the quest for the Holy Grail because they "already have one"; the knight who suffers a "flesh wound" as his limbs are lopped off one by one; and the blessing of the Holy Hand Grenade for use against the killer bunny.

With clockwork precision, the first episode introduces us to the aristocratic Bellamy family who live upstairs at 165 Eaton Place, and their staff of devoted servants working downstairs.  We see how the house functions, in particular the duties of the servants through the course of the day -- and we are introduced to one of the richest casts of characters this side of Dickens.

There is an excellent "the making of" documentary. De Niro, Scorsese, Foster, Brooks, Boyle, Sheperd, Keitel, and even the screenwriter add their anecdotes. Find out exactly where they found the weird street drummer guy who's seen performing during Betsy and Travis' big date. Other tales are told with regard to the making of the film.
What prompted this review are comments made by viewers below. One who falsely claims this film to be meaningless and another who goes on about T.S. Eliot's Wasteland and how there's no "wisdom or morality" to be found here. Whatever. The search for the Holy Grail was a mythic quest to find the chalice that Christ used to figuratively share his blood, love, or life force with his disciples during the Last Supper. This film is a wonderful metaphor for the Blood of Christ which signifies to me, redemption through the sacrifice of love. The screenwriter, Richard LaGravenese, does this brilliantly through the symbolism of the Grail. Halfway through the film Parry, who's completely nude, and Jack are lying in Central Park looking up at the stars in the night sky. Parry tells Jack a story, or Zen parable, about a depressed King who is redeemed by the act of a Fool. The Fool doesn't see a king, but only a lonely and troubled man. The King tells the Fool he is thirsty. The Fool offers the King a chalice of cool water that makes the King whole again through his simple act of kindness. At the end, Jack must perform a similar act of kindness and sacrifice to make Parry whole again. THIS IS A BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN MODERN FABLE ABOUT SACRIFICE AND REDEMPTION OF TWO SOULS THROUGH AN UNCONDITIONAL ACT OF LOVE, as it may destroy the beginning of Jack's radio and TV comeback and a return to his old prosperous life.

Ultimately, Travis seems to come out intact: calmer, seemingly sane, but one is left to wonder if he'll kill again someday.

Oh and what's up with that scene where the parents were fighting and the oldest boy walks up to his baby sisters crib and smuggles her mouth?  I THINK the reason is because he wanted her to cry so their parents would stop fighting and quickly run to the bedroom, but the boy could have found a better way of ending that argument than putting his sisters health in danger.  I guess it can be chalked up to "Kids will be kids" and do silly irrational things.
 Audio Commentary #2: Visual Effects Commentary.
Unlike the director of the "Dawn of the Dead" remake, Witt and producer/ script writer Paul W.S. Anderson have opted not to follow in the footsteps of the fast- moving "28 Days Later" zombies, but has clearly been inspired not only by George Romero's view of walking corpses, but also by his opinion of our western society. The real evil in this movie is not the zombies or even the killer mutant Nemesis (who looks and sounds like he has just stepped out of the original game and into this movie), but a Big Brother- style multinational that puts itself above the law and has no respect whatsoever for morale, decency or anything human.

I enjoy Brittish drama and humor so this was a good way for me to catch up on an old classic.  I think they have done a great job of capturing the essence of the time in the early 1900's and have given it a lot of heart.
The only saving grace of the movie is Milla Jovovich hiking up the kick... factor with her resilient mantle. Otherwise the movie is a sputtering mess - and it's a shame when horror-chiller George A Romero of the famed Living Dead trilogy inspired this movie. Resident Evil is butchered unscrupulously into a gore flick which is shockingly horrible instead of terrifying.

When the actors in this film are more robotic than the characters in the game then you know something has gone seriously wrong... and it has. Nobody in the cast is mildly recognizable except for Milla Jovovich, and they shouldn't be either, because they all suck real bad. The camera work is some of the worse seen in a long time. Why? Because it attracts attention itself almost all of time. Bad cinematography. For 35mm it looks like it was shot on video. The lighting is pretty good whenever it turns on or off but when it is static it is just useless. The editing is extremely bad at times and cuts fail to match. From an atheistic standpoint its all terrible production values for a Hollywood budget. The CGI also happens to be extremely, EXTREMELY, dodgy most of the times.

Now granted this movie is a rip off of many different and better sci-fi and horror films from Alien to the countless zombie films that have been made.  But what it lacks in originality, it makes up in style.  The action and violence is pretty stylized and it was fun to pick up some RE connections.  You're not looking at an Oscar-winning movie of course, nor is it as good as some of the zombie movies out there (28 Days Later, both versions of Dawn of the Dead, etc) but for what it is, it is very well done.
I have no idea which version I have seen, could they not just release the extended version once and for all? That is the only stupid thing about this movie, or perhaps its' makers that is.
I was blown away, to say the least.  I loved how Paul Anderson didn't use a whole lot CGI, and how he gave a fairly thorough explanation of what made the zombies, well, zombies.  Not many other zombie movies give explanations.  Just take the Romero flicks as an example.  But altogether, this isn't exactly a zombie-fest.  It balances the horror with wit, like the video game did before it.  It also transfers a lot of the video game into the movie, such as the mansion, certain names(Nemesis), a few tricky angles, and creatures(the dogs and Lickers).  This altogether makes a pretty darn cool movie.  I also really enjoyed how he brought the zombies to the screen.  He gave them poor skin, and made them barely decomposed.  I prefer that over entirely decomposed bodies.  It scares the viewer a bit more, because we can still see the human side of the zombie poking through.  The best zombies on-screen to date.  Not a great film by any means, but definitely one of the coolest movies I've ever seen.  Not to mention the first time I saw it, I jumped a good 5 times.  Upon second viewing, I still jumped twice.

In the facility, known as The Hive, the team is trying to shut down an AI computer that killed everyone in the facility.  Aside from the killer AI, there are plenty of zombies and even a monster.  The team must defeat these and get out before the facility becomes completely sealed.

Personally I thought she deserved the Oscar for this, as she holds our attention most rivetingly for three hours, but that's art for you.

8413	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Having seen the original Broadway stage production with Andrea MacArdle back in 1978,this movie version directed by John Huston is a MAJOR disappointment. The movie version should have been a wonderful expansion of  the stage original, but this was not to be. Bordering on disaster, the  movie ANNIE has little to recommend it. A former review posted here by  Carolyn says it all. The movie replaced great songs from the stage  original(NYC,etc) with horrible new ones (DUMB DOG, WE GOT ANNIE, LETS GO  TO THE MOVIES,etc). There is nothing in this film that evokes the 1930s  Great Depression era the movie takes place in (where is the HOOVERVILLE  sequence). The movie in loaded with errors in regard to time and place. For  example, if Warbucks' 5th Ave Mansion is as expansive as shown in the  movie, it would have to located in Central Park; the movie Annie attends is  CAMILLE which never played at Radio City Music Hall and premiered in 1937  (not 1933 when the movie takes place, in fact RC Music Hall opened in late  1932); in the stage version the chracters attend a performance at the ROXY  Theatre which is as it should be; the New York in the movie ANNIE is a  mixture of unconvincing Hollywood sets and poor location shots which have a  1970s look and feel(why so many modern buildings in the background). Annie  as performed by Aileen Quinn is a pint size Ethel Merman who looks strong  enough to take on an army, she exhibits little heart and comes across as a  phony. Most of the other cast members are wasted or under perform thier  roles. Which brings me to the awful finale as presented in the move; the  stage version ends at Christmas while the movie becomes a summer circus;  Miss Hannigan is carried off to jail in the original while in the movie she  is seen drunkinly riding a circus elephant. What were producer Ray Stark  and John Huston trying to do? It baffles me to this day. Watch the ABC  Disney version of ANNIE it is not as good as the stage original but much  better than this awful movie version.

6906	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	"Pal Joey," (1957), a dramatic musical romance, is a product of Harry Cohn's Columbia Studio, a fact easily gleaned by a quick glance at the movie itself; while it's in Technicolor, the colors themselves are not nearly so saturated as is the signature palette of rival Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios.  The movie, as was common at the time, was based upon the 1940 Broadway hit of the same name that made a star of Gene Kelly.  That play was based upon a series of fictional letters from "Your Pal Joey," written by noted American writer John O'Hara, and published in "The New Yorker."  O'Hara wrote the play's book; Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart provided the all-grown up music; George Abbott produced and directed.  The still knocking them dead Elaine Stritch created that nifty song "Zip," on Broadway, where it was given to "The Reporter," rather than the Vera Simpson character.

Here's the scoop. In the near future people are conceived artificially to eliminate as many genetic deficiencies as possible. Ethan Hawke was conceived naturally and has, among other things, a bad heart. He makes a deal with a genetically near perfect person (Jude Law) who has lost the use of his legs. Said deal allows Hawke to manipulate the system and be the first in line for a trip to Titan. But there was a murder in the office and the investigation might expose him for who he really is.

But anyway, onto the movie itself. It's damn hilarious! I don't know how so many people didn't think it was funny! I think it's amusing now, and it's been 6 years since it came out in the theatres. The storyline is a bit thin, I have to admit, but the jokes are funny, not cheesy. I especially like the bit where Geri and Mel B are playing chess and Mel B doesn't understand the rules and Geri says she's gonna slap her. Also another funny bit is the part where Victoria says she doesn't know what to wear, and Mel C muses over whether Victoria should wear the "little Gucci dress, the little Gucci dress OR the little Gucci dress" as Mel C says. Then Emma chimes in "I think you should wear the little Gucci dress!". I like the part near the end where the two movie directors are telling the story to Clifford and everything is happening to the girls.
Alice's stunts are the coolest ever--- from the graveyard battle, the 100-Foot dash down City Hall (which Milla did the last of the stunt herself) to her battle with Nemesis, the action for this character is undeniably the best ever and better than her exploits in the first movie. Jill Valentine, however, manages to hold a special place in my heart and basically gets to do some pretty awesome things herself (Fighting the undead to some wicked handgun fights) but her range is basically limited since the movie is focused on Alice. The comic Relief provided by Mike Epps' character "L.J. ," is actually pretty funny and does not kill the atmosphere of horror/action in the movie.

MY GRADE: C-
The film is basically a warm, upbeat  character study of a group of women friends, played out in a beautiful  Louisiana bayou town. The story begins with Roberts' wedding, then carries  on through the ups and downs of the friends' lives. The male characters in  the story are barely seen, and occasionally come across as insensitive  (Roberts' husband), or buffoons (Hannah's boyfriend), yet one of the joys  of this movie is that you come to love the women so much, you don't mind  the men's shortcomings, and start liking them, too!

It is a good story especially if you are a romantic. However I was not so keen on the ending. It seemed like there should have been something more. Something more dramatic. Also at some points in the movie things got a little slow and it took patience to get past the scenes. I did think Charlotte Rampling was a perfect Miss Havisham and Justine Waddell was perfect as Estella. Ioan Gruffudd also expressed his emotions very well in each scene without being overly dramatic. This film portrays jealousy and love very well. It is a classic after all.

Another year has passed, and Julie is still traumatized after the events of the first film. She constantly has nightmares about Ben Willis. Her new best friend, Carla tries to get her to be more outgoing. One day, Carla wins a trip to the Bahamas, and takes Julie, her boyfriend, Tyrell, and new guy, Will. Ray tries to come but he's hospitalized after a run-in with the Fisherman. Once they get to the island, they realize it's an off season and storms the whole time. Soon enough, Ben Willis shows up to stalk Julie and her friends and kills anyone who gets in his way. Ray is on a mission to make it to the Bahamas and stop Willis once and for all. I thought this was a great continuation and a nice conclusion, but it was ruined when I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer was made.

I knew someone like every single character in the movie during my 'punk' phase, and while I didn't become a lawyer I did look back on it all as an absurd but necessary coming of age transition set to a very angry soundtrack (my personal soundtrack had Husker Du's 'Zen Arcade', Black Flags 'Who's Got the 10 1/2' and DK's 'Fresh Fruit' playing most of the time). Again, ALL of this was too insane to live one time around and watch a second time around.

But here's the thing: the product description is not quite right. While this DVD is fullscreen, it's not the 1.85:1 that's it is said to be.

The British class system in all its "glory" is illustrated as the series rolls on. And how it starts to unravel a bit as time moves forward. I guess as an American, it is hard to believe how those lower on the food chain put up with this system, but I guess we had something similar at the time here, but maybe less rigid.

366	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	One of my favorite movies. They did an excellent job of staying true to the story. As you watch this movie you are reminded of the faith AND patience of Joseph. If anyone in history had a reason to throw his hands up and declare that God had forgotten him it was Joseph, yet he remained faithful. The full story is told, even the account of Judah and Tamar which ended up in the birth of the root of the kingly line of Israel. Virtually everything was portrayed and accurately so. To me, the main point they really nailed was how Joseph woke up one day, still a prisoner, and by sunset he was the second most powerful man on the face of the Earth. This led to another fantastic lesson, Joseph all of a sudden had all the power anyone could want and while today we see people desire power so they can lord it over those beneath them and settle old scores, Joseph instead showed compassion. He could have easily destroyed his brothers or a least made them suffer as he had suffered but instead he displayed true character.... a lesson many in positions of power today could learn from. The story of Joseph is one of the most remarkable in Biblical history and rightly so.

Second, why are they giving Alice more and more powers? How are we supposed to relate to her? Part of the appeal of zombie films - or most films in general - is that you can relate to the characters. You can mentally put yourself in their position, and you worry about their well-being. But what happens when the character you're supposed to relate to becomes so powerful they can do somersaults, know tons of martial arts out of the blue, and can kill people with telepathy? Alice becomes so powerful and superhuman, you never fear she won't survive. It's called the Superman Syndrome - a character becomes so powerful, that you don't care what happens to them because you already know.

What is so useful about this movie is that it is dubbed very precisely in so many languages.  This particular DVD features the spoken languages of English, Arabic, French, Japanese, Korean, Portugese, Mandarin (Chinese), and Spanish.  The subtitles are done in English, Spanish, French, Portugese, and Arabic.  If you look at the wonderful behind-the-scenes documentary of how the movie was dubbed, you'll see that they selected trained experts to read the text in the native language and they timed it to the milli-second to make it precisely right.  So, when Jesus speaks, it looks and sounds as if He is speaking the native language.

My expectations for this set are high since the show deserves the best DVD release possible. Fox released the first four seasons in 2005 and 2006, only to leave fans hanging for 8 years for the last two seasons. Luckily, Shout Factory took the opportunity to release the Bob Newhart Show the way it should have been from the beginning - as a complete series set.

3689	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Close Encounters is one of those Spielberg movies where you can really feel the magic. It isn't a downer, and it isn't the kind of movie that makes you think about the world's problems. Even the US government seems to have the best intentions when it comes to the aliens. The whole movie wears a little smirk on it's face.  Masterfully done, Encounters has some simple but effective visual effects and a emotional and powerful soundtrack. The casting is good considering it was early in the careers of several of the people involved. Richard Dreyfuss plays his character perfectly. Roy Neary is a regular joe that suddenly is confronted with some life changing events that he can't understand. The messages that he is getting in his head confuse him all the more and Dreyfuss does a perfect job of illustrating that.  The supporting cast turns in good performances as well and really give the impression that you are watching a documentary rather than a work of fiction. The best parts of the movie in my opinion is when they are showing you clips from around the world of different UFO encounters and the research team finding evidence of an alien presence. When they're in the Mongolian desert and they find the freighter Cotopoxi. The same ship that was lost for real in the Bermuda Triangle. It still gives me chills. They slowly pan across and you see a huge ship sitting in the middle of the sand. Oooooh man, great shot.  Bottom Line: This is another one of Spielberg's classics. You must get it on DVD for the multitude of extras that are on the 2 disc set. If you haven't seen it yet and you like either UFO's and/or Spielberg, you won't be disappointed.

But there was an entire musical number cut from the TV presentation. Perhaps you remember when Jessica (the sexy puppet, who eventually becomes Mrs. Claus) has to free Kris Kringle from jail. And in doing this, she is struck with intense liberation and sexual feelings for him, that cause her to let her hair down out of it's bun for the first time ever (she was kind of a stuck up school teacher at the beggining, remember?) and dance around and sing in this psychedelic flower garden-fantasy sequence.

Watching Nemesis was just sad. Why is he after S.T.A.R.S members? In the video game it was because they were out to expose Umbrella's dirty secret. In the movie its...."because they're the best." stupid stupid...
The story of Joan of Arc (or Jeanne d'Arc as they call her in France) is well known just about everywhere. Joan is a poor peasant living in a small village in France during the Hundred Years War with England. She begins seeing heavenly visions that tell her she is God's messenger to rid her country of the bloody English. Somehow she convinces Charles, the Dauphin with visions of being king, to give her an army to storm Orleans. Using unconventional methods she leads her army to victory. The Dauphin is crowned king and mostly forgets about Joan. She leads an unsuccessful siege on Paris is given over to the English, tried and burned at the stake, several hundred years later she is sainted by the Catholic church. The Messenger covers most of this relatively faithfully, and beautifully.
In fact I barely played Resident Evil so my memory was foggy, but friends confirmed that as the little I remembered led me to suspect this movie stayed really true to the game. One criticism I have heard is that it lacks the story that the first had, to which I reply hey it's a video game adaptation movie not Shakespeare. In other words this movie delivered exactly what I expected and much more, the fact that it was filmed obviously in Toronto, where I grew up was just that much more of a bonus.

This overwraught sobfest features  Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts as mom and stepmom respectively, working  together to build a stable environment for the kids under trying  circumstances (illness, kids' hostility towards Julia, Julia's busy career,  a dad/husband who raises his voice, but can't lift a finger).  While the  premise is admirable, the result is lots of overacting and overreacting  from the usually watchable Sarandon and Roberts.

UFO cliches die a happy death in this film.  The aliens are neither aggressive, nor are they provoked into being aggressive.  In fact, they are perfectly benevolent, if not partially enigmatic.  Spielberg wanted to show a range of diversity amongst the aliens that would be parallel to humans, so you have short, stubby aliens, lanky, stick-figure aliens, and also more humanoid aliens that are expressive.  Nowhere are there crop-circles, there are no long exegeses on their superior technology, no ray guns, no tractor beams or teleportations.  Meeting the aliens is actually a highly organic experience; achieved with colors, musical themes, and staring one another face-to-face.

549	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This is absolutely one of the very best movies ever made about the life of Christ.  Since it is almost word for word from the Bible, except for a few conversational interactions, such as greetings, etc., you can be sure it is true to God's word.  One thing I love about it is that it shows Him as a strong man (He WAS a carpenter, after all.) rather than a milk toast as He is usually depicted.  The only thing I did not like was that since they wanted to stay true to the book of John, they didn't put a crown of thorns on his head, because although Matthew, Mark, and Luke all do describe the crown, John does not.  Yet, you can't fault their resolve to be absolutely true to that account.  If you saw Mel Gibson's The Passion of Christ movie, and felt the crucifiction scenes were a little too much for younger children, then this is the best choice out of all other movies made.

After a better final boss battle than part 1 offered, there is a still a lot to be desired in the fighting photography and choreography.  Even when featuring a hand-to-hand combat action finale, this sequel is clearly more about big explosions and blatant exposition than the quality of anything between. But again, its fun.  And Im grateful that the final boss wasn't another miscarriage of bad CGI.

9232	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Terry Jones, the co-director of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", once said that comedy is defined as two disparate forces coming together and colliding.  That definition may not fit into all varieties of comedy, but for the Monty Python crew and especially this movie it does.  Almost all the scenes in this movie are true masterpieces of this definition of comedy,  whether it is a medieval serf spouting off neo-Marxist thought, or the ancient enchanter named "Tim".  This film also contains the greatest `deus ex machina' ending in the history of cinema with police interrupting Arthur's last glorious charge.  On a personal note, the first time I saw this movie at about the age of 15 on PBS, I did not know what to think.  When the film ended with the camera being confiscated by the authorities, I said to my father: "What happened?"  My Dad responded "I guess they ran out of film...you know PBS."  So, for those of you who have not seen the movie, try to savor your reaction the first time you see a cow flying over a castle wall, or the attack on Castle Aaaaaaargh.  The DVD special features are well worth it too, with an insightful director's commentary and a trip with Jones and Palin touring the sites where the movie was filmed.

I've also heard some dissapointment reguarding the color quality of this release. I'm glad it was left untouched. I feel it adds to the atmosphere of the seedy, gritty, raw streets of seventies New York City. It makes the hairs on my neck stand up. The slow dance into the final meltdown is taped on what looks like greasy film, sickening like Travis' enviorment. The final grisely scene where the camera floats over the hallway littered with guns and bodies, blood and dirt in every corner is tinged with this reddish-pinkish hugh, which (not sure if this was intended) gives the illusion that even the air is soaked in blood. I feel this is completey suiting.
The movie opens in slam-bang style with an elite American commando team parachuting into Kazakhstan at night. Using the latest hi-tech gear, they kill the palace guards and abduct an adversarial Russian leader, General Radek (Jurgen Prochnow of "Das Boot"), who is promptly incarcerated in a Soviet hoosegow. Three weeks later in Moscow, President Marshall stipulates that the U.S. refuses to negotiate with terrorists. Meanwhile, a ruthless ultra-nationalist Radek zealot, Ivan Korshunov (Gary Oldman of "True Romance"), succeeds in smuggling his bogus TV news crew aboard the most secure plane in the world. A disgruntled Secret Service agent, Gibbs (Xander Berkeley of "L.A. Takedown"), as we later learn, helped these guys obtain their security clearance. Once the plane is airborne, Korshunov and his men commandeer it, kill the pilots, and watch helplessly s the president ejects in his escape pod. (Does anybody remember "Escape from New York?") Ivan contacts the Vice President (Glenn Close) and vows to kill a hostage every half-hour until Radek walks away from prison. According to Defense Secretary Walter Dean (Dean Stockwell), Radek's release would bring down the pro-American regime in the Kremlin and bring back the Cold War, so the Russians are reluctant to set him free unless President Marshall makes the request personally for Radek's release.
Released in the Bicentennial year, after Vietnam, Watergate, and attention-getting attempts on President Ford's life, Taxi Driver's intense portrait of a man and a society unhinged spoke resonantly to the mid-'70s audience -- too resonantly in the case of attempted Reagan assassin and Foster fan John W. Hinckley. Taxi Driver went on to win the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, but it lost the Best Picture Oscar to the more comforting Rocky. Anchored by De Niro's disturbing embodiment of "God's lonely man," Taxi Driver remains a striking milestone of both Scorsese's career and 1970s Hollywood.
948	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I have been searching for this movie on dvd for over 10 yrs , as a lota people have. And finally I found this version , which was until recently , very rare and hard to come by. This is a pretty good quality late 1999 - 2001 dvd. Yes , I know what the title says , but that's not entirely correct. This tranfer is not super great , but it is good. Honestly , It still can be very Dusky and even a little old world blurry at times with the pops and grain clearly visible. There is no behind the scenes footage at all simply a Laser-disc like menu and the movie. Don't let that statemnet fool you , this definitly is a quality transfer for the times and not a laserdisc bootleg by any stretch. But Hopefully one day This movie will get the remastered High-def treatment it so desperatly deserves. But for old school fans like myself right now , it's just a treat to have this on dvd disc to enjoy the fun , and I think you will too.
Ultimately, by film's end, we learn that all the fears of the characters have been unfounded, a delusion on their part. All consternation and trouble, which are usually required for a story to be compelling, were human-created and not of alien origin. The encounters were designed out of benevolence, not hostility. Only one character, that of Barry's mother, realizes her error and changes from one who is at first fearful to someone who is willing to embrace wonder.

First the sound quality was not transferred over very well. I found myself having to crank the volume up in many parts of each story just to barely hear what was being said.

Let's face it, this movie was not done with the hopes of winning any awards, it was done at the perfect time when the Spice Girls were at the peek of their fame.  While it won't be on AFI's top 100 films list, it will definitely be on the list of pop-culture because like the movie the Spice Girls are part of pop-culture history.

 In the late 1990's both Oliver Stone and Billy Hayes stated they were sorry for the film's depiction of Turkish people, as not a single Turk was dramaitized as compassionate. The film has gone on to be hated by the people of Turkey for it's narrow-minded view on a foreign country and its people. Nevertheless, "Midnight Express" is an excellent film, one you will watch time and time again for its graphic depiction of prison life and the attempts of those who are imprisoned in trying to survive. "Midnight Express" is prison slang for inmates who want to attempt escaping, thus that is where the title is derived from.

PACKAGING: The set comes in a standard height box with 3 Amaray-style cases that holds 6 discs apiece. Gone are the two-sided Fox discs with cheesy cartoon-themed menus. Here, discs for Seasons 1 and 2 are in one case, seasons 3 and 4 in a second case and seasons 5 and 6 are in the third case. These are NOT stacked on a spindle and thus are easily accessible. The disc faces feature nice 1970s-inspired artwork across all discs with color variations for each case. The fourth (bonus disc) case is a standard height but slim. The menus for each disc are based on the look of Bob's office door. Everything is classy and everything matches.
Complexity and integrity are what make a movie worth watching, and "The Deep End of the Ocean" has all of this and more. The fact that the plot is basically two parts should not be a deference from the film; believe me, the story rolls right along. Dynamic performances and highly likeable characters also add to the film's appeal. What more can you ask for?
Because Andrea is so into Todd, she doesn't realize that when Cybil sings a love song she's singing it about Andrea. Cybil is in love with Andrea but this fact is slowly revealed through the film and oblivious Andrea has to be hit in the head with a brick to even notice. Even her other friend's  (Selma Blair, painfully anorexic looking and well cast) bulimia is pushed aside for the great Todd Sparrow.

The other aspect, the mood, is not delivered the same way...it's more like a futuristic atmosphere, with a certain lack of terror, a very "Blockbuster" atmosphere, with nothing really eerie.

Ciaran Hinds definitely brings out the edgier, tempermental side, which like it or not, is the way Mr. Rochester is described in the book. I like that portrayal, but I also appreciate the more restrained rendition done by Michael Fassbender, as do I enjoy the cocky, domineering traits brought out by Timothy Dalton. They are all good, folks. No need to feel disloyal for liking more than one. However, stay away from the William Hurt version. He did not even come close to filling Mr. Rochesters shoes.

The sheer off-the-wallness is what sells this movie, and Monty Python was in rare form. Graham Chapman's primary role is King Arthur, who seems to be the most competant of the bunch but is still pretty goofy. John Cleese of "Fish" and "Fawlty Towers" fame stars as Sir Lancelot/Tim the Wizard/The Rude Frenchman, and is amazing in each role. Eric Idle plays lily-livered Sir Robin/Roger the Shrubber (don't ask)/Brother Maynard. Terry Gilliam is lower-key as Sir Gawain/Patsy; Terry Jones is also pretty low key as Sir Bedivere/Prince Herbert. Michael Palin has a hilarious series of roles including the King os Swamp Castle/Sir Galahad/Leader of the Knights Who Say Ni.
But for every decade, I can identify one theatrical release that hit me like a freight train, and which in my mind has become a cinematic monument. In the 1960s, it was BONNIE & CLYDE.

These female characters are strong Southern women who navigate the trials of their lives well. It's rare for a movie to have so many female characters that are not steriotypes or bad role models for girls. I would definitely watch this movie again.
The central character throughout the movie is Julia Roberts.  We discover early in the movie that she suffers from diabetes, and the effects are often severe.  The tension between Julia and Sally Field as Julia's symptoms and problems increase, and the tension with the rest of the women in the movie, increases during the movie, awaiting release.  The movie alternates between laughter and pain until near the ending that has its sad moments, but ends relatively happily as the true lesson of the movie is finally revealed.

Admittedly, the Egyptian portion of the special is a bit odd; they continually make reference to the "demon" (played by actor James Mason) that arrives at stroke of midnight to pose the riddle's question to the Egyptian boy, as well as Osiris (the god of the underworld) who poses the final challenge to the boy's ascension. I thought this segment was great, but I never thought I would hear the word "demon" uttered by Big Bird - Maybe they should start having him call Elmo a "little red demon!" (Just Kidding).

The film begins in 1776 and ends with the conclusion of the surprise attack on Trenton.  This is one chapter of history we feel intimately acquainted with now.  Although it doesn't seem to have enjoyed a great budget and although it has just a hint of an educational taste to it, the Crossing seems far more historically relevant than films like Patriot or Pacino's Revolution.  Daniels displays incredible posture especially while riding a horse and as a passenger in a boat through all hours of the night and thus quietly impresses upon us the dignity of America's first and fearless leader.

The formulaic plot satisfies for the most part and makes sense in that action movie sort of way.  Nothing is too over-the-top, equaling harmless fun for all.  Clearly no one is taking themselves too seriously, and director Benny Chan was smart in throwing in a healthy dose of humor.  The end result is a slick, satisfying 1 1/2 hour reality break.

3644	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This film, perhaps Spielberg's best among his more entertaining fair, is essentially about the war between wonder and fear. As human beings, we have an innate sensibility of fearing the unknown as a defense mechanism to combat those things which could be hostile and threaten our existence, be they at the individual level or at the societal level. History is filled with examples, usually of a tragic nature, in which human beings perpetrate against each other the worst kinds of inhumanity in the name of fear, be it religious, economic, or political. In large conflicts, human beings on each side rationalize that their adversaries are heinous monsters intentionally engaging in wrong-doing as an act of evil. Both sides, in other words, believe they are on the side "right" and vilify the other. In this circumstance, all behavior is dictated by fear rather than wonder.

Personally I was trying to find some of those classic comedy routines I remember from when I was a kid, like Ernie calling to the fish (Here fishy fishy fishy). But I'm giving it four stars since I'm sure the material on here is perfectly good, even if I'm not personally interested.
It has flaws, but a lot of them are due to the filmmaker not wanting to offer us easy answers.
There are also some cute little songs in here, like "Mothers and Children," sung by Olivia, "Don't eat the Pictures," done by Cookie Monster and the Girls, and "You'll get Home Soon," by Big Bird and Sahou.

 Jill Valentine, and Nemesis, and a couple others FINALLY appear in an RE movie. That's where the good news ends, however, as the film once again forces this useless Alice character into a spotlight that belonged to Jill, Chris, Leon, and Claire. The movie forces itself into the already complex plot of RE Nemesis (PS1, GCN, DC, PC). Sadly it negates the fantastic frantic storyline of the source material and instead focuses on two moody women who would never get dates in real life because their attitudes make them completely unattractive. Jill and Alice were both written as though they were the same character, and both were played out like they would get into a serious cat fight at the drop of a hat. I didn't buy that Jill would rescue Alice at the end because I never got the impression that they were getting along. But its hard to get along with yourself, really... these two were identical in attitude, tone (which was just awful) and even their posture! Not only that, but Jill in the movie was NOT the Jill from the game. They may have put her in the same costume, gave her the same name, but the way Jill came across in the movie is completely different from her superior video game counter part.

While it is a serious, well-filmed story on General Washington's most challenging times during the war, with plenty of drama built into it, it is very much a factual masterpiece, more than adequately supported at the conclusion by a summary of the lives of the individuals who were most prominently featured in the story.  The film carefully built up enduring the dire situation at Valley Forge into culminating with Washington's famed "Crossing of the Delaware," no mean logistics feat at the time, and the surprise taking of the British forces at Trenton

Milla Jovovich's take on Joan is an intriguing blend of shy farm girl, zealot, religious fanatic, saint, and tormented soul.  There is some interesting casting here: Dustin Hoffmann is appropriately eerie as God/Satan/Joan's conscience/Joan's subconscious; John Malkovich, although perhaps a bit too old (the Dauphin/King was only about 9 years older than Joan), is effectively petulant and ethics-free.  Faye Dunaway looks absolutely horrid, thanks in part to the bizarre attire and hair style of the time, and in part to really, really bad plastic surgery.  A large supporting cast demonstrates the extremes that Joan provoked: loyalty, hatred, fear, and adulation.

Boy, could the two of them do it all in the movies. Bridges plays an obnoxious radio tv talk guy who makes a life altering mistake on his show. Robin Williams plays Parry, the homeless man who in the circle of life is caught in the rays of what radiates out from that mistake. They will create something positive out of this but it is coming out of the darkest of the dark to do so. Either Williams or Bridges should have won the Oscar for this, perhaps both, but they did not. It did show the movie going world though that Bridges had been consistently underestimated up to that point and he began getting parts instead worthy of his talent. The female roles were fully realized by Mercedes Ruehl and Amanda Plummer and they are beacons for coming home and out of the darkness and into the light. One of my favorite movies with favorite performance from all four actors.

The reason I mention Grace is because that little 8(?) year old is the grownup in this film. Dignan even feels threatened by her (I won't give away his defensive retorts). I'm sure this is a major theme in Wes Anderson's films. He is fascinated by adults who haven't grown up (Bill Murray in Rushmore), and kids that are wise beyond their years (Grace, Jason Schwartzman's character and his little friend).
Perhaps the greatest nod to this film is that there would be no THE X FILES without this film having been made.  CLOSE ENCOUNTERS paved the way found countless variations on the theme of extraterrestrial contact.  In fact, Spielberg himself had initially dubbed E.T. THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL as the unofficial sequel to CLOSE ENCOUNTERS, but he changed his mind last minute as the two films really have very little linkage.

All of this works well enough as a mere sci-fi thriller but writer/director Andrew Niccol, who also wrote The Truman Show, is after far bigger fish.  What he gives us here is a timely and thought-provoking argument against the idea that genetics is destiny.  Just as he showed Truman's seemingly perfect world to be anti-human, he shows here that the utopian quest for physical "perfection", because it can not account for the human soul, must result in a dystopic nightmare.  A few of the really fine touches here are the set designs which are cold and sterile; the general absence of women, who will be selected out in a world where fathers can always choose to have sons; Vincent's birth scene, when his own father, realizing him to be an "unsatisfactory" heir, decides not to name the boy for himself; and what is, I think, the best scene in the film, when the genetically perfect Jerome reveals that he envies Vincent's natural birthright, the unengineered will that drives him.

Hit the audience while it's still fresh in their minds and the adrenalin is still pumping. Never listen to the critics unless everyone is agreeing its bad is my motto.
The quality of video and sound was better than I had anticipated considering how long ago it was made.
Overall, if you collecting DVDs of your favorite films, I'd recommend this one.
Thanks
This move had major talent for a cast of characters. Milla Jovovich's character Alice before "Apocalypse" is more relatable and much more likable, in the first movie than she was in the sequel which helped me understand her rigid and less feminine personality in the second movie. Broadway talens Martin Crewes, and James Purefoy (Spencer Parks) play out their small roles to the extent of their obvious screen talent, but Crewes' character (Chad Kaplan) turns out to be the more likable out of the two through out the movie. Colin Salmon (famous for his role in the 3 of the 1997-1999-2002 Jame Bond movies) plays the leading commando 'One' with his usual leader demeanor and atmopshere used in the James Bond films but with an American accent and more lines. Eric Mabius, famous for playing in 'odd-ball roles' in the usual "R" rated movies, turns out to be more believable as an actor in this movie than he has in previous roles. He plays out his character the cop with charm and actual humanity.

In the middle of all this, Jerome (Vincent) is nearly found out several times during a police investigation of a murder that occurs at Gattaca.  Will he be found out?

I am definitely not particularly keen on the "chick flick" film genre but I could not help but fall in love with "Steel Magnolias" and its characters. The dynamic chemistry between Olympia Dukakis and Shirley MacLaine's characters were perfect. I couldn't imagine any other actor in their places. Those two seasoned actresses were made for those roles. I loved the banter between them. As cranky as Shirley MacLaine's character was, deep down inside she really wasn't as mean as one might think. Towards the end of the movie the viewer gets to see a glimpse of the real Ms. Weezer. Sally Field was simply amazing in this film. My heart broke into two when Sally finally couldn't contain her grief anymore. I loved Dolly Parton in this film just as much as I enjoyed Julia Roberts and Daryl Hannah. I really thought this was one of Julia's better films along with Daryl Hannah's too. I can always watch "Steel Magnolias" and still get choked up when Sally Field picks up her grandson at his aunt's house as well as the burial scene. "Steel Magnolias" ranks highly as one of my all time favorite movies.

Steve Martin not only stars but also wrote the intelligent and witty screenplay.  This is a compelling story and a really fine film.  Even though I own my own DVD, whenever I come across "Roxanne" on one of the movie channels, I just can't stop watching it.  Steve Martin as C. D. Bales (Cyrano de Bergerac -- get it?) is in top form here -- perceptive and poignant, yet wry throughout.  Just two of the many highlights for me include the "20 Something Betters" scene and the quick bit where he buys a newspaper out of a street box, glances at the front page, and in horror pulls out another coin and puts the paper back in the box!  If you like romance but want to skip the "sappy" aspects, and if you like comedy but want it delivered with intelligence, you'll love this film.

6519	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	I've never claimed to be an expert on movie-making. Having said that, I think it's fair to say that a movie sequel should have at least *something* that distinguishes it from the first one. Something that spices up the overall story and yet maintains a continuity. Well, you won't see that with "Resident Evil: Apocalypse." Alexander Witt sat in the director's chair for this one, but he may as well change his name to Paul Anderson, because this movie is basically a recycled, watered-down pointless sequel to the first one. Witt brings absolutely nothing new to the table. This might as well just be an hour and a half long prologue to "Resident Evil." Judged on its own merits, this one sinks faster than a ball of lead thrown in a river.
Like its main characters, the movie seems to have no direction at first, but ends up being more than just your typical slice-of-life flick. There is meat to these bones, and it's quite fine. Recommended for more than just the novelty of seeing Matthew Lillard actually act, for once. ***

6480	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I have been reading these reviews(mostly the 1 star reviews) and the thing i have noticed most is that people have this movie confused with a Zombie flick. It is not a "Zombie" movie and was not meant to compete with such films as "Night of the Living Dead", "Dawn", "Dead Alive", etc, etc. It is a movie based on a video game that happened to have some of the enemies be zombies(just one of the many enemies in the game). I would have guessed that people would have been mad that Tyrant wasn't in the first film or that the "Hunter" has yet to be introduced.

Performances, action scenes, special effects and music (Jerry Goldsmith) are all top-notch, as well as some great patriotic stuff from Harrison. The only thing I don't like is some scenes are predictable and jingoism takes over sometimes. Regardless, it's great fun, and an equally great DVD. Cool stuff.
When it comes to bringing these video games to the big screen you need to ask yourself, What makes the actuall game itself such a success? If you take Silent Hill for instance. Probably one of the few video game adaptations that was an actuall success. They have really taken the Silent Hill video game features into perspective and shown us how this is actually done. It actually felt like Silent Hill. But in this case, it looks like the Resident Evil video games where just thrown aside. There is absolutely nothing meaningful from the video games that was put into this film and absolutely nothing atmospheric about it that even makes it feel like Resident Evil environment. And the atmospheric soundtrack from the video games have been replaced by Heavy Metal music. It felt like an absolute joke. It seems that they didn't even take the Resident Evil video games into consideration and without it, this film lost all its perspectives and has no meaning for the Resident Evil title. This is just a pointless action sci-fi. Film makers really need to take these video game adaptions more seriously. This is an insult to the Resident Evil video game series.
You will be MAJORLY disappointed!
One thing that I'd like to add to the other reviews is audio. I have the Panasonic DMP-BD30K bitstreaming the audio to a Denon AVR-3808ci receiver. The audio is fantastic. There's one scene when Roy is in the utility truck stopped at the train tracks checking his map. When the UFO shines the light on the truck and everything starts shaking, it felt the the UFO was over my house. I can't remember a movie that's ever worked the subwoofer so long or hard before.

Or the fight with the Knight. His arm is lobbed off but he says "It's just a flesh wound!"
Part of the fun for me was that I DIDN'T know about the video game.  Why? I didn't know what was going on.  The beginning of the film was very confusing as I didn't understand what was happening or why it was happening.  Fortunately, the screenwriters did a very good job of having a few of the characters actually explain the subject to me - and it was done well - as a few of the other characters were designed to be as confused as I was.

Milla looks even better in this movie than the first and her new co-star, Jill, is as hot as they come. The action between the two main females and Nemesis was definitely fun to watch.
As a child Joan is portrayed as a obsessive compulsive loner who goes to confession two or three times a day. A child who hears voices and sees dark, disturbing visions of war, bloodshed and savages beasts feeding on human carnage. No cute, chubby angels or beautiful Madonna's for this kid. A child so obsessed with being with Christ, she sneaks into the church santuary at night, fills the holy chalice with wine and drinks it down reciting, "I want to be at one with you NOW!" Seeing that fragile little girl standing before the altar with her face and blouse covered with red wine is not only unnerving but vampiric in effect.
Some charmingly dated scenes only add to the warm innocence of this show: like when Jessica realizes "her own town has turned against her" and begins singing of her love for and desire to be with Kris Kringle....transcending into a cornucopia of hippy-trippy flowers, swirls and polka-dots and finally catching a glimpse of her paper cutout reflection in the water fountain in the center of town.

The ending leaves many questions to ponder: What prompts Chaney to change his mind and try to save Speed by taking on an expert fighter from Chicago? Didn't Speed dig his own pit? Chaney himself angrily told Speed that he didn't owe him anything. Perhaps, as Chaney laid on his bed under the ceiling fan in his dump of an apartment, he realized that maybe he DID owe Speed for granting him the opportunity to utilize his talents and make money. In other words, without Speed he wouldn't have had his success. Perhaps he decided he wanted to make even MORE money in one final fight before leaving New Orleans. Possibly, it dawned on him that, although Speed is certainly to blame for his own problems, Chaney realized that he had fallen into his OWN-dug pits in the past and needed someone to help him get out. Or maybe he realized that, in all the world, he had less friends than can be counted on three fingers and felt it was his duty to help Speed (and Poe) out.
DeNiro made a name for himself with his performance here. Its not just the words that Bickle speaks, most of which are in his narration of events. Its not the way that he looks at the world or watches what is going on around him. Its not the odd way of thinking in a nave way that makes him who he is. It is the combination of all of these things and more that make him shine in this role.

I had to do some research in order to write this review because otherwise my review would have been too vague and probably inaccurate if I hadn't (not that it's anything to write home about either- admittedly my mind shuts down when religion becomes the subject because that opens the door to an overwhelming amount of information).  It's about the character of Jurgen Prochnow portraying Jesus.  He comes back to Earth.  At first it seems his mission is to cause Demi's character harm and in particular harm the baby inside Demi's belly which is why Demi constantly visits the hospital for checkups and worries something might happen to either her or her baby.  Complications arise frequently- some of them real others in Demi's mind.

John Malkovich is at his purring, brooding best as the Dauphin; Faye Dunaway brings history to life as the devious Yolande D'Aragon; Tcheky Karyo provides the heavy weapons support and uniformly stolid jawline as the phlegmatic, doubting, faithful Dunois; Vincent Cassel seems to be having the time of his life as the laughing Gilles de Rais; and Dustin Hoffman has a shadowy, skulking, gloriously contemporary little part in tempting, tormenting, and confusing Joan.

This is a profound film.  It sounds a too seldom heard cautionary note about the limitations of science, even as it celebrates the limitless human spirit.  At one point the Director says : "No one exceeds their potential. If they do it just means we didn't judge it accurately in the first place."  This notion, that human potential is a physical quality, to be quantified, measured and judged, is the all too likely and frighteningly imminent horror that resides at the core of this vile future world.  Mr. Niccol is a polemicist of a very rare sort, for he manages to entertain even as he delivers his jeremiads.  That's quite a feat.  It makes him one of the most exciting and visionary talents to come along in Hollywood in some time.
Julia Roberts is great in the role of the younger, sexy girlfriend, and Susan Sarandon (like always) is wonderful in her role as the jealous mother.

So in addition to seeing one of the funniest movies ever made, you can be entertained for hours with the extras, and the extras are terrific: subtitles in English, French or Spanish; audio track choices -- English (the original mono or a brand new full stereo version), French, a directors' (Gilliam and Jones) track or a commentary track with Cleese, Idle and Palin; a copy of the script overlaid on the film; a painstaking, hilarious Henry the IV-ish subtitle for those who don't like the film; a hard-of-hearing feature; killer rabbit easter eggs; animated menus using Gilliam's original animation; karaoke renditions of 'Knights of the Round Table', 'Sir Robin' and the 'Monks Chant'; a delightful 45 minute visit to the locations with Jones and Palin; an educational film about the 'other' uses of coconuts; Japanese versions of the French Castle and Knights Who Say Ni scenes, including references to the 'holy sake cup'; a 1974 BBC Film Night visit to a location site during filming; photos of tickets, press releases, reviews, posters, production stills and original artwork; trailers; cast credits (Palin played over a dozen parts!) with pictures of each character; a Lego knights version of the Camelot scene; pictures of sketches that were never used (a killer snail?!); a web link.
Actually, what's probably most memorable about the picture as a whole is how maddeningly inconsistent it is in terms of pacing and excitement. For every scene that's fun to watch, there's another that's just plot-stopping, whether it's watching the survivors move from one bland-looking corridor to another, or Milla Jovovich jump-kicking zombie dogs in slow motion, or a computer program tiresomely going over the very simple zombie rules.
Is Travis the hero, the antihero or the villain of this flick?  It really doesn't matter. Travis is a man compelled, his hand forced by the rot, corruption and indifferent hatred bred on the city streets.  The cesspool of crime is its logical consequence, just as much as is Travis, the loner turned lone gunman.  It is fitting that in his "training" scenes he is wearing cowboy boots, for he has a score to settle.  Not so much with Sport (played with abrasive wit by Harvey Keitel) and the pimps, johns and druggies that people this new urban frontier of lawlessness.  No, they are merely the tangible targets of his psychotic hate; The vengeance Travis metes out with his .44 Magnum is against a world that sees him as a virtual invisible man. Just as society turned their backs on the Vietnam vet, so does the woman of his dreams, Betsy (Shepherd).  Initially, Travis sees her as the last glimmer of hope for the redemption of a society gone to ruin.  But, when she rebuffs and deserts him over the clumsy social faux-pas of taking her to a porno movie on a first date, society loses all meaning to him, and he exacts his vengeance on society in order to transcend her rejection of him.  You can tell his fate is sealed when he sees his life "pointed in one direction....there never has been any choice for me."

By informal count, Upstairs Downstairs was nominated for 17 Emmys and received 7, most significantly, 4 successive awards for outstanding dramatic series.  It was nominated for 9 BAFTA awards and received 2; and was nominated for 4 Golden Globe Awards and received 1.  It also received a Peabody Award, a Royal Television Society Award; and its theme song won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Theme From a Radio or Television Production.  The program could have continued beyond five years, but the actors, writers, and directors chose to end it.  Cyril Bennett, who had been reluctant to air the program in the first place, pleaded vociferously, but ineffectively, with John Hawkesworth that the program should be  extended  for another ten years.  Thus, there have been no further episodes of this outstanding drama.
The movie actually takes place one month prior to the Playstation Game Resident Evil and ends at some point within Resident Evil 2 and 3.  How?  I will explain later in the review.  The only think I disliked about the movie was the mansion set used in the movie itself.  It looked nothing like the Mansion used in PSOne Resident Evil.  The interior of the mansion followed the style of PSOne Resident Evil, but many hardcore gamers will immediately point out that the Mansion is completely different on the outside.  Every thing else follows close the game format and can possibly be tied into the game.

But does Monty Python & the Holy Grail live up to this reputation?  The influence and popularity of Monty Python is indisputable, but that does not mean that this comedy troupe has found favour from all quarters. Certainly they display the potential to come up with some extraordinarily creative and original humor, appreciated especially by those who find the surreal and absurd in any way funny.  But it is regrettable that the humor of their television shows often descends into the risque and irreverent.  Monty Python and the Holy Grail is no different in that it contains both the usual brand of Python humor, as well as a significant amount of irreverence and sexual innuendo. Some parts are funny, in fact tremendously so, for who can ever forget the defeat of the killer rabbit with Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, the three-headed Knights that say "Ni--!", the Bridge of Death with its absurd riddles, and the closing scenes where our heroic knights are conquer the grail, only to be arrested by British policemen.  But the clever humor doesn't excuse the large amounts of blasphemous material, which frequently is used as a source of humor in connection with the religious aspects of the grail. Monty Python took their irreverence even a step further in a subsequent film, Life of Brian, which is a parody of the Biblical Messiah Jesus Christ. But it's not just unholy religious humor that's problematic here - discerning viewers should realize that "the Holy Grail" also contains some risque sexual innuendo in the usual Monty Python style.  And these moral concerns aside, there are cases in "the Holy Grail" where the surreal attempts at humor just aren't funny, but stupid.

As for the audio, I have one word and that is "magnificent".
"R.E - Apocalypse" picks up from the ending of "R.E." Basically, we find that Raccoon City is under siege by a terrible plague that brings the dead to life (surprise!). We are soon introduced to some new characters, one being Jill Valentine (played by Sienna Guillory). Now when I saw Jill for the first time she looked exactly like the Jill from the games - except here she has black rather than brown hair! It's a minor thing of course, but obviously sufficient attention wasn't given to the appearance of characters. Anyway, Jill's ruthless and good with a gun, and that's all that matters. Later on we also meet Carlos Olivera (played by Oded Fehr. Carlos was from the third Resident Evil Game). He's a leader and a great fighter, but this Carlos is much older than the Carlos from the game. Nemesis is pretty well done but his face just looks slightly different from what I remember. And the Nemesis in the movie has some pretty massive guns, which is true to the games as far as I'm concerned. Anyway, all the human characters trapped in the city must escape Raccoon City before dawn or they'll all be turned into Nuclear Pulp. The storyline is similar to the games but it's not particularly original. Overall characters get 7/10 and the storyline gets 6/10.
What else... oh yes, the lack of chemistry between Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke beggars belief (Thurman looks continually as if the very sight of Hawke gives her the screaming heebie jeebies), and the thriller/whodunnit piece does not import a sense of drama into the proceedings. And boy does the film need it.

In closing, the film is not a waste of time. Go see it, it is quite good. You have to take it for what it's worth. Mindless fun in the vain of flicks like "The Fast and the Furious." My brother left the theater and admitted he wanted to hate the flick so bad. But he couldn't.

Oddly enough, the latter was made by the director of this film also, Paul Anderson. I actually found myself willingly watching Mortal Kombat rather than it being on superstation and nothing else on. His 2nd adaptation is slightly better but still fun.

Two fascinating, very effective and related themes of the film are seeing the world as new, as if for the first time, and persevering aspirations to be faithful to truth amid being called into question by more conventional points of reference. Neary is led at points even to question his sanity himself; the audience is given enough reasons to question his sanity too (or at least fear for his losing it), though are also provided with enough clues to leave open a positive final verdict.  On the one hand, for example, Roy is not concerned merely with UFO sight-seeing (even with his family)--he speaks in a number of places where he sees an importance to what he saw and the sharing of it with authorities--; on the other hand, when team of Lacombe (an international professional UFO investigator) first learns of the coordinates of the mountain where the aliens are planning a major visit, they wind up needlessly trashing some furniture (an expensive globe belonging to the county supervisor)--in other words, just what bad decisions will normal people make under extraordinary circumstances? The scenes where Neary inadvertently acts crazy in front of the neighbors--to gather material for building a large scale model mountain in his living room--were taken out from the special edition and restored in the director's cut; perhaps Spielberg worried the scenes put too much of the blame for the marriage breakup on Neary (and no, it's not like Neary has no flaws).  In the special edition, in fact, Ronnie leaves the house before we see anything of the large scale mountain; we only see Neary carrying a garden hose and his youngest son protesting being taken by his mom into the car saying that 'dad needs some more help'--with the car then proceeding to nearly run Neary over--; the version underscores: Ronnie deserted Neary.  (Though a relevant line of Ronnie's is only found in the original version, where she flatly states, 'I am not getting a job,' just minutes after getting the news Roy lost his job with the power company, a fact for which she was partly to blame as she was careless and nonchalant in passing on some urgent phones messages, including from the governor.)  Neary first noticed the real mountain on TV (after building--and regretting having made--the large scale model), in a news story covering a concocted "nerve gas" scare, which he saw just seconds after his wife abruptly hung up him (amid a sincere effort on his part to reconcile).  Alot to take in, a bit of a roller coaster, even for the audience.  Was Neary alone to blame for his marital problems, or did the failure to communicate (with Ronnie early on even literally plugging her ears), give him too much for him to deal with at once?  Roy was actually fired in the wake of his having been sent (also underscored only in the original version) to investigate the cause of a power failure--which he found--it was UFOs.  Did Neary, nevertheless, then abandon his kids and fail to provide for them, or did he, at least from the point of his wife hanging up on him, only pursue the best--or even the only way--to make good, provide a fuller appreciation of what is real, even secure visitation rights (against accusations of insanity)?  (It is sometimes said that good stories don't tell us what to think, rather, they simply give us things to think about.)  In any event, what Neary sacrifices to build the models, unexpectedly losing his family in the process, becomes very meaningful when he draws on this experience to climb the real thing--expressly going against a government cover-up story which evacuated the area to keep lay spectators away. Very intense scene, like a double jeopardy--and he is still not sure what he is going to find (nor is the audience). Beautifully shot. The last half hour of the film deserves its reputation, but the rest of the film is far from filler; it does, however, set the stage.  I do think the mountain-climbing scene is helped by showing the prior havoc involved in building the large scale model mountain; I think Spielberg was right to restore it to the director's cut.  Neary's recklessness in building the mountain was over the top, but his enthusiasm seemed to stem from being convinced that he was finally going to be able to share what he experienced with his family, though he was tragically mistaken.

William Ragsdale plays Charley Brewster, a typical horror-loving kid who just so happens to find out that his new neighbor is a vampire - naturally, no one believes him, including his friend Evil Ed (Stephen Geoffreys in a truly annoying performance) and his girlfriend Amy (Amanda Bearse, who went on to play Marcie on Married With Children).  For some reason, Charley decides to be open about his suspicions, thus letting the vampire know that he knows his little secret - not a smart move, as Charley soon learns courtesy of a little visit from the new guy in town.  This vampire, I must say, looks nothing like your typical Count Dracula; he actually looks like a reject from Dance Fever, making it a little hard for me to take him seriously (although the threat of "Deney Terrio" busting out some disco moves in the film's one night club scene certainly had me feeling uneasy).  In desperation, Charley goes to the only man he thinks can help him - Peter Vincent, Vampire Killer (Roddy McDowall).  Vincent killed many a vampire - in the movies - and he is now the local host of Fright Night, a late-night horror show.  As you might expect, Vincent doesn't really believe in vampires and, once he sees that Charley is telling him the truth, he isn't too anxious to fight them, either.  McDowall is really great in this movie; he is the lynchpin upon which most of the movie's success depends.

One of the two major thoughts that came from this movie for me is how we as a society are not really that far from the practice of eugenetics.  Eugenetics is the practice of genetically altering the gene pool, DNA of a species.  While this film shows that practice in the form of shifting out unwanted traits; i.e. obesity, and other harmful physical conditions, one thing that could not be genetically altered was the spirit or soul of the individual.  Each person is an individual which thinks differently and uniquely from any one else.  The possibilities are endless, especially since this technology is already in use for cancer treatments.  But reality also shows that not everything shows up in the genes of individuals.

5517	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	If I could best describe this movie to anyone who hasn't seen it yet, "SLC Punk," is just plain stupid. This was one of the highly anticipated films that was released at "The Sundance Film Festival" in Park City, UT, a couple years back. Alas, there's virtually no plot, and no good dialouge. The incessant use of the "F-word" in SLC Punk - gets really old after a while - it made me want to cringe! Why couldn't the director of the movie go by the adage that "less is more." There's a lot of meaningless subtext, and a bunch of cavorting teenagers, who like to "go-against-the-grain." It authentically portrays the SLC Punk scene: you know, the spiked hair, mohawks, plenty of black leather and body piercings. It's about a bunch of young aspiring punk-rockers (anarchists/mallrats) - who at times - border on suicidal tendencies; where there's lots of drug-use; and the main characters making total jackasses out of themselves. Being from the SLC area, I was expecting a scintillating perfomance from these guys. (I wish they could've behaved themselves, in a dignified manner.) IT WAS FILMED IN UTAH, OF ALL PLACES! I THOUGHT IT WAS SO AWESOME! I saw some familiar scenes in SLC Punk: the [Mormon] Temple, the University of Utah Campus, and West High School. SLC Punk, wasn't what I was expected. I was so stoked about this movie from the beginning - and then all of a sudden - my excitment died down. I love punk music, through and through. It's just that, this movie came up way short. I didn't, however, get to see SLC Punk at the film festival, which is why I picked it up at the video store. This movie was so disappointing. There's not a whole lot I can say about SLC Punk, other than I think it's a complete waste of time and money. This movie is rated [R] for: Profanity, Vulgarity, Drug Use, Teen Partying, and Violence. All things condsidered, I wouldn't recommend seeing it.

1940	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This movie now seems dated, it is now 18 years old. The first 747 was used as "Air Force One" in 1990. When this movie came out "Air Force One" had been a 747 for only 7 years. Now it has been 25 years since "Air Force One" has been a 747.  In 2023 the new Aircraft that will serve as Air Force One will be a 747-8.  When the last 747 was delivered it was based on a 747-200 at the time it was delivered the 747-400 was being delivered. The 747-8 has the same type rating as the 747-400 they both have no flight engineer. The new Aircraft being used for Air Force One may be modified to have a flight engineers position, because it will undoubtedly have many more systems than a regular 747-8.  It will essentially have a type rating unto itself and its twin(s).  That is, no 747-8 rated pilot would be qualified to fly Air Force One.  Piloting Air Force One is a prestigious job, although it is boring. There are Air Force pilots that don't want the job. Many former Air Force pilots won't work for the Air Lines for the same reason.  It's like being a Formula One Car driver and then getting a job driving a Trailways Bus.

As in most movies, the requisite girl (played here  by Jessica Alba) has nothing better to do but to be a sexual object, and be  in danger. She is apparently a "songwriter/musician" but that's  just thrown in there for the hell of it and has no purpose whatsoever. In  fact, none of the female characters here are at all developed. The  "evil-fighter" just randomly appears. The other girl has no point  but to die. The movie is mindlessly gory.
I liked this film. It's one of the very few successful deep sci-fi films ever, and it's more impressive to me because they did it with no budget and without distracting toys. This film is an adult thought-experiment, making a statement about a number of related issues regarding genetics, social engineering and the nature of the self.

Overall, I am very impressed and recommend this to anyone, especially at this price (I paid quite a bit more than the current price and still feel I got a good value).

6773	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	While the length of this movie may frighten some people from endurng it, one must consider the epic Braveheart's lengthy time, and how it still remains one of the best movies to date. The Messenger: The Story of Joan of  Arc, is a brilliant example of such a film, combining stunning visuals and  a talented cast to bring the epic story of the infamous story of the Maid  of Loraine to life. Milla Jovovich plays Joan, and the cast choice was  impeccable. Her ability to change moods from exhilarated to infuriated, and  from strong to terrified, truly make the performance believable. Her  visions of the saints and heavenly beings are absolutely gorgeous and  totally mesmerizing, cutting from shot to shot of different things  surrounding her as she experiences them. Battle scenes are filmed from both  sides' viewpoints, and the beauty of it is that 99.9% of all things  contained are believable. I'm not that big a fan of the score, though (to  anyone in my english or yearbook classes, I bet you're surprised to hear  thast one, huh?), and I think that it will have to grow on me before I buy  the album.

Oldman stronger, and more restrained, than he sometimes is--and with an accent to boot.  Shocking number of dead bodies, however, too much carnage to give the deaths any dramatic (or human) sting.
Harrison Ford has one of the most commanding presences of any Hollywood actor, and Air Force One is almost entirely his show. Yeah, James Marshall may be too damn perfect for a politician, but this is a red-blooded action flick, and I want a hero that I can unabashedly cheer for from beginning to end, and Marshall is just that kind of guy. Gary Oldman's the villian, and in true Oldman style, you can expect lots of hollering in a somewhat unintelligible accent (which honestly doesn't sound particularly Russian, as it's meant to).

But to make a feature length film based on source material taken from a video game?  Seems poor prospect (who remembers 1993's Super Mario Bros?  Or how about 1994's Street Fighter?  Man, those were some awful times), but then again I come from a time when video games were pretty simplistic, and had little or no story.  Nowadays, the technology has allowed for extremely well developed storylines within games, and the likelihood of seeing the transition from game consoles to the big screen becoming more and more common.  I mean, look at it like this, if a game sold how many million copies, you pretty much already have a large fan base more than eager to watch a film based on said game.

Well, if you deviate from the storyline, or screw up various elements or characters, you may end up with a fairly rabid pack of angry fans looking for blood...Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004), sequel to 2002's Resident Evil film, was written by Paul W.S.

My one criticism, though, having now seen it through the eyes of an adult, is that it is unnecessarily long. Some of the songs I loved as a child, are now annoying. I think cutting one or two of them would have brought the run time down to just under two hours, and that would have made it more watchable. I would suggest that the song between Mr Warbucks and Miss Hannigan was not really needed. I would have handled that scene with dialogue only, in the same way the Grace Farrell/Hannigan scene was done. Otherwise, I still think this is a good movie, and I should note that it was my childhood introduction to the amazing Tim Curry.

5. The movie, I felt, did not efficiently utilize and implicate his role as a taxi driver. Why do I feel this way? Because whatever he did and whatever he felt and whatever he knew, could have been done, felt, or known even without being a Taxi Driver. Let's go deeper. He drives around and notices all this crap in the street which makes him dislike the city more and wants to do something about it. You don't need to be in a taxi to feel this way or find out about this. A better way to implicate his role as a taxi driver to further help the plot of the story would be him spying on bad guys or getting important information as a taxi driver, using his taxi driving identity to somehow sneak into certain places and acting as a spy, etc.
There are two commentary tracks, with 4 of the actors on one and the 2 directors on the other. I know that the one with the 2 directors is taken from the Criterion Laserdisc, which is neither good not bad. The scene selection is okay, and the extra 24 seconds are unnecessary. Disc two has sing alongs, documentaries of the Holy Grail locations today, "How to use your Coconuts" (which is hilarious), "MPHG in Japanese" (which is okay), "A load of rubbish" (which is bad), "On location with the Pythons" (An 18-minute documentary made in 1974 by BBC), Terry Gilliam's original sketches, and a bunch of other stuff. Despite the subtitles and rabbits, what a deal! Thank you for taking the time to read my review and feel free to leave helpful/not helpful feedback.

The story tracks a tiny band of survivors as they try to stay alive long enough to escape the city limits. It helps that this group is made up primarily of highly skilled operatives from the S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics And Rescue Service) unit and also from an Umbrella strike force. It also helps that the scientist who invented the T-virus is willing to guide them to safety, provided they rescue his young child. The odds for survival increase dramatically with the arrival of Alice, former head of security for an underground Umbrella complex. But it's a slightly different Alice than from what we remember in the first movie. She's been experimented on by the Umbrella think tank and she now demonstrates super powers. Another survivor from the first movie figures in APOCALYPSE, except that he'd been tweaked and probed and genetically engineered into becoming the terrifying Nemesis program. And no surprise that even with a city apocalypse going down, there are still fiendish Umbrella asshats bent on pursuing their messed-up experiments - such as pitting the Nemesis Program and Alice against each other, in a backstreet brawl, just to see who'd come out on top.
4467	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	This sequel, I Still Know What I Did Last Summer, is a stinker. Not that it doesn't have it's brainless appeal. It does. What makes the first film look like a classic, is that this film doesn't have the fun, cool set-up of the original. It had a creepy feel. This one just falls into typical Friday The 13th type 80's slasher feel in the second half. Not that that's bad. It can be fun. Just don't expect anything from it. Jennifer Love Hewitt is okay in this, but the appeal she had in the first isn't quite here in this one. She seems to be there just to have really hot shots of her body which, um, well, okay, that wasn't a bad thing. Brandy, on the other hand, was wasted. Why was she in this?. Why did she agree to do this?. Freddie Prinze Jr. was another one who was wasted. He got second billing but his part is much smaller than any of the other co-stars. What happened?. The fishermen killer himself was creepy in the first one. Not here. His creepiness was ruined because you see way too much of him in this film. That always hurts a film and character. The ending had another "shock" like the original. Nothing shocking about it. It was expected. You could tell. Let's hope Kevin Williamson comes back to give the third outing more of a hook. Pardon the pun.

Thinking back on that movie, the only spying he really did was probably with the presidential candidate that coincidentally got into his cab and talking to him, but even that I felt was useless. And this scene alone confuses the plot, not help clarifies anything. He knows nothing of the guy, how can he be a supporter?

Jodie Foster plays the part of a pre-teen hooker with excellence.  Her character is sad and provides the only outlet of caring for De Niro.

As Apocalypse begins, key players from the Umbrella Corp. are no longer a mystery behind their environmental suits as the T-virus spreads. The zombies are out on the loose, eating and infecting people as they go. The Umbrella Corp. enforces a quarantine lockdown when lovely (Sienna Guillory) Jill Valentine arrives. What was lacking from the sequel was the length of time Jill spent at the police station in light of that same scene from RE2 confronting the zombies and trying to figure out where they came from. Less suspense, gore, and blood didn't prevail after the sequel's predessor. But more zombies and more action earned my approval.

Nemesis was well made which is another huge step about this movie. This RE movie seemed more darker and alot less cheesy looking then Extinction, Afterlife & Retribution. I have to admit I really enjoyed the first RE movie, but this outshines the first and obviously outshines the other 3. I recommened buying this movie.

GRADE : A
2982	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Don't watch it for the cinematography or the special effects. Don't watch it for the acting, music or costumes.  Just watch it. It was never meant to be a blockbuster, just a low buck art film. It is not a shining example of any of the casts best work, but it has a deep message and is a window to the era.  I suppose if we were living in that era it's avant-garde message would have stuck us and we would have cheered the performance.  Today, not having lived in that era, and spoiled by modern techno-cinema, I missed a lot, but I did see many comparisons and points that were trying to be exposed.  Compare them to today.  I dare you.  After you watch it then run the commentary or the special features and see if your observations were correct.
Anyway, I think Ralph Fiennes does an exceptional job in the role of John Steed in that he combines the darker parts of who Steed was when the show started with Ian Hendry, with the charm, wit and sophistication on display during the Diana Rigg era.

I enjoyed the movie but the problem with this movie is I have a hard time remembering it.  It was pretty forgettable because the storyline was pretty thin.  The actors gave pretty good performances.  If you haven't seen the movie, I would rent it first and then buy it because it is violent and thin storylined.  This is not for children.  All in all this was a good movie but if you are a Resident Evil fan you may not like this.

But I digress. If you're looking for a not-half-bad action/comedy flick that possesses plenty of super-hokey megacheese moments, and will leave you both entertained and mortified that you were entertained by it, 'Last Action Hero' just might be the movie you've been looking for!

I just wonder if here Dickens does not reach Zola's pessimism who considered that anyone born in a criminal circle could only be that and drag everyone around him down into that criminal circle. No salvation for those who are badly born. The belief in an elected people turned into a savage and wild social Darwinism: some have been elected to be crushed and powdered by life as slowly as possible for them to regret ever being born but absolutely unable to shorten the ordeal.

This is the definition of a missed opportunity.

  One such invalid driven by his passionate dream of outer-space travel, finds a way to beat the system, by using blood and hair samples of a former valid who's incapacitated by partial paralysis. He assumes his new ID with full co-operation by the former invalid, and both these peoples' lives become an excruciating every day routine of trying to keep beating the control-checks and achieving each their own goals. Things turn even edgier when a murder investigation inside the base for space-travel points worrying leads towards the (...) and the police are hot on his trail. From then on it becomes a race of time. If he makes it he's safe for good, safe in the confines of the surreal distance that will separate him and the earth as his destination is Titan, a planet several years of distance away.

"Resident Evil-Apocalypse" continues on the path of the popular video game genre. This film is the second in the series of Resident Evils. The always-curious Umbrella Corporation must open the Hive! Of course this leads to unleashing the T-virus again. Raccoon City is built above the Hive, so the virus spreads faster than oil in water. The Umbrella Corporation cannot stop the virus so the decision is made to quarantine the city and nuke it. But what a better situation to try out their new prototype fighting machine Nemesis.

I remember looking up at the screen (people watched movies in theaters back then) and seeing steam come up from the street and this big yellow taxi driving accompanied by a burst of saxophone, and I was mesmerized. Every performance is perfect. De Niro was destined to be a star, but this is the movie that made him a star. The writing is so quotable ("You lookin' at me? Ain't nobody else here.") that I still quote it. I love what the movie says about cities and the alienating impact they have on people, but I love the way the movie looks as much as I love the acting, the writing, and the message.

Umbrella's interest in the city is varied.  Can the city be reclaimed?  Can the virus be contained?  But it also provides a chance for proper field testing of other projects, particularly Project Nemesis.  Through all of this we follow a handful of survivors as they try to stay alive long enough to find a way out of the city.  In the background a third party is pulling stings for his own benefit to locate his daughter who was left behind in the city.
  I would definately recommend that anyone see this movie, especially if you need a good cry or if you are a parent going through a divorce and/or remarriage.  It may encourage people to be a little nicer to each other and see what a difference it may make to the children who too often get stuck in the middle.
The extras were basically the same as on my old LD Sony release with a great in-depth documentary on the making of the movie, the special edition (released in 1980) and director's cut. It also included a new 2007 interview with Spielberg reflecting on the movie after 30 years (the documentary was made in 1997, 20 years after the original release). In the case there was a booklet with some text on the making of the film with lots of pictures and a fold out with the film poster on one side and on the other side there is a outline of the differences of the three versions of the film with three timelines (one for each version) and notes pointing to various points with comments. What I really miss is a commentary track with Spielberg on each of the versions. I don't think that there is a single movie of his that has a commentary track on either BD or DVD. It would be perfect with a commentary track.
5194	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Director Martin Scorcese and Robert De Niro (as Travis Bickle) collaborated on a film unlike almost any other I have seen. What to say about it? Bickle is a delusional and dysfunctional (probably deranged) taxi driver in Manhattan who is strongly attracted to Betsy (Cybill Shepherd), a beautiful young woman centrally involved in the political campaign of Senator Charles Palantine (Leonard Harris); Bickle also attempts to befriend Iris (Jodie Foster), a runaway teenage prostitute. He proclaims "I'm God's lonely man!" In some respects resembling the psychotic character Archer Maggott played by Telly Savalas in The Dirty Dozen, Bickle also sees himself as God's avenging angel whose mission in life is to eliminate all of the evil which he perceives in his world. After recently seeing this film again, I asked myself the same question I did in 1976: How many Travis Bickles are out there? All of the performances are outstanding. Working carefully with Paul Schrader's screenplay on which he presumably collaborated, Scorcese portrays a sordid, potentially violent underworld which is most dangerous after all the "good people" are comfortably settled and secure in their homes. Laurent Bouzereau's 70-minute "making of" feature provided with the Collector's Edition is highly informative, as are the mini-biographies of Scorcese, De Niro, Keitel, Foster, and Shepherd.
As much an homage as it is a parody, Lucas in Love succeeds where so many others fail.  A review of the three other shorts on the DVD - "Evil Hill" (Dr. Evil meets Notting Hill), Film Club (Fight Club in a film school), and Swing Blade (Sling Blade mixed with Swingers) easily demonstrates how this type of experiment can fall flat on its face, turning into a gigglefest by filmmakers and audiences with the kinds of noses that stick up in the air.  Thankfully, Lucas in Love is never reduced to this insipid level of "didja get it?  didja?  aren't we CLEVER!!!) that the other films on the DVD do (and, unfortunately, so many other short films available on the Internet).

This film, though, is the best filmed biblical interpretation of the life of Joseph.  It is truly astounding with a stellar cast!

9319	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	As you may already know, this DVD was released with a serious defect back in November of 2001. Subtitles would pop up randomly whether you had them turned on or not. After numerous complaints, Columbia Tri-Star Home Entertainment fixed the problem and sent out the corrected discs. Unfortunately, they did NOT recall the bad shipment (just like Anchor Bay with Heathers), and there is nothing on the box to indicate which version is which. Ah, but there is a way to distinguish the two. The initial shipment had a sticker, in the lower left-hand corner, advertising "VIP MOVIE POINTS - Buy and Bid!" The newer, corrected version, does NOT have this sticker. Hope that helps everyone out. As far as the first Swedish subtitle being omitted, it was like that on the theatrical re-release, too. So who knows? Now, as far as the DVD goes...wow. This is a Monty Python fan's dream come true. Oh sure, the transfer is far from perfect, and the 5.1 sound wouldn't impress your grandmother. It is still leaps and bounds ahead of the VHS (ugh!) release, and the extra features are too numerous to mention here. (I believe they are listed at the top of this page.) Really, the only drawbacks are the missing subtitle at the beginning and the fact that there are two versions out there; one defective, the other not. But at least now you know how to distinguish them. Just another helpful tip from your uncle Jason.

The story unfolds when Travis picks up an underage prostitute called "Iris" (Jodie Foster) trying to escape from her pimp boss "Sport" (Harvey Keitel), who drags her out of the cab. Travis is concerned by this and arranges to meet with Iris via the prostitution circle but instead of hiring Iris to have sex he tell her he wants to help her get out of prostitution. The later parts of the film revolve mostly around Travis and his new found mission to free Iris from her pimp and let her start a new life. But there are some very memorable moments along the way , the quick action sleeve gun design and mirror scenes, the Mohawk hair cut among many others. Also look out for a small scene where the director is paying Travis to sit in his cab and watch his wife cheating.
Australian actor/dancer Paul Mercurio ("Strictly Ballroom") is good in the lead, and others in the cast include Leslie Ann Warren as Potiphar's lying wife, the always beautiful Dominique Sanda as Leah, and some fine character actors playing Joseph's brothers, notably Michael Attwell (Judah), and Vincenzo Nicoli (Simeon).

Iris is a very cleaned up version of a teenage whore.  She is unrealistically cleaned up.  She is palatable for the movie audience but she is unrealistic, as she herself knows, as her mother knew when she saw the script.  Likewise, her pimp is not the original pimp written in the script.  Her pimp is a white man, and not really unlikeable.  He never hits her, he gives her a lot of affection, he holds her head tenderly and whispers to her sweetly, he has a sense of humor.  The original pimp in the script was black, and pimps are known for brutality.  This is almost a Disney pimp, if we can imagine such a thing.

Don't expect stupid puns, toilet humor and bad sex jokes. "Bottle Rocket" shares the dry, funny, erratic humor of Anderson's later movies. Not to mention a thousand funny little lines ("Bob stole his car!"). Anderson and Wilson avoid being self-consciously cool, in favor of being earnestly quirky. No banter, just wit.

The performances are interesting, if not altogether successful. A young, thin Randy Quaid is a little over the top, but Paul Smith (later to play Bluto in Robert Altman's Popeye film) is a terrifying presence, and John Hurt turns in a quiet, skilful performance (he nabbed a deserved Supporting Actor nomination). Brad Davis' performance mostly works and he does the turn from in-too-deep bonehead to a slobbering mess, believably and done very smoothly. His only real fumble comes in the scene where he finds out about the change in his sentence and loses his cool; Brad Davis, at least in this film, is better in reactive mode, and he can't quite land this scene where he blusters and yells and must command the screen. But for the most part, he is a fine anchor for this graphic, vivid, forceful film.

5156	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Taxi Driver is an intense portrayal of a man slowly being driven mad by his isolation and loneliness.  Although Travis Bickle (Robert DeNiro) lives in NY, the largest city in the world, his inability to construct and maintain relationships with other people has led to insomnia and progressively towards violent insanity.  He seems to have only one friend, the Wizard (Peter Boyle), a fellow taxi driver with whom he maintains an awkwardly trusting relationship, but even that contact with another person is largely superficial and deeply flawed.  On his downward spiral, he meets Betsy (Cybill Shepard), a woman whose company gives him hope to become "like other people".  Ultimately, though, his warped personality drives her away and sends him deeper into his own personal hell.


Perhaps then that is where the film fails (in a small way): it's trying too hard to satisfy two different audiences, the gamers and the Romero fans, but ends up being a compromise and maybe (just maybe) the people who will get the most out of the film are those (like me) who fall into neither category.

Instead he still wants to just kill her for being one of the people that threw him off a dock after hitting him with a car. You would think this guy would've just got a life by now.

"Roxanne" actually tells the story of the French Renaissance-hero Cyrano De Bergerac, but brilliantly turned into a modern romantic comedy. Steve Martin stars as C.D. Bales, the head of a small village fire department. He has quite a big handicap, or should I say: nosicap? His nose is bigger than most men's... uhm, finger. But don't feel sorry for C.D.! In the first five minutes you learn that he is charming, witty, that he can take good care of himself and that he is by no means a victim of circumstances. However, C.D. is not always sure of himself. Especially when he meets beautiful Roxanne, played by Daryl Hannah. What will win Roxanne's heart: Good looks (which C.D. isn't really blessed with) or sweet and sensual poetry?

His preferred (more accurate and better) title was "The Streetfighter," as it was/is known in Europe. Hill went on to do more popular films like "The Warriors" (1979) and "The Long Riders" (1980). The reason I was interested in checking out "Hard Times" is because it had garnered a bit of a cult reputation over the years (although not as cult-ish as "The Warriors").
6695	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	To begin with, lets get one thing straight, video games do not make great movies. Like books, video games are a different sort of medium and when turned into movies are usually nothing more than cool bad movies. With that said, I was really surprised by RESIDENT EVIL.  I had never played the video game, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The movie uses film techniques and cliches borrowed from a host of other films, e.g. THE MATRIX, ALIENS, and NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD just to name a few. Yet, the movie sucked me in. I was enthralled by it. I got caught up in the action and the story and kept wanting it to go on.

1482	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Who can forget Ciran Hinds as Edward Rochester?! Love this adaption of Charlotte Bronte's novel! The supporting cast is splendid as well!
1565	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	I must fervently disagree with the many positive reviews shown here, for 2 major reasons.  First, the writers took great 'liberties' with the novel that detract, rather than enhance, the characters.  The best two examples involve the main characters of Mr. Rochester and Jane.  In the book, Rochester is a brooding, singular figure who is very much a victim of the cruel plotting and vices of others.  But in this film version, he is cruel and vindictive in and of himself.  Vengeful, plotting, and profane, you have little reason to see why Jane would ever attach herself to such a worthless creature.  Jane of course does fall in love with him, but because he is so repugnant, the viewer can hardly see any reason why.  Thus, Jane is herself reduced greatly from a woman who loves unconditionally - -as was shown in the book- -to a strange, misguided young woman racked with a codependent psyche.  The second area in which this version is inferior to the book, and the other far superior film versions (particularly the William Hurt version) is its brevity.  It is only 90 minutes long.  It leaves out so many of the small aspects that would normally give vitality and life to the characters.  Being that it is such a poor version, this is not necessarily all that bad, but willing to give the film chance after chance to redeem itself, it falls terribly short on nearly every measure.
8818	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	This is a cute film featuring your favorite Sesame Street characters. Mandy Patinkin is great and he pulls off some great expressions as the "villain" of the movie.

3872	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	This is one of those movies, at least to me, that even though it is simple and often times crude I just don't get tired of it. It really isn't a horror film but then it's not a comedy either as most of the humor, weed jokes aside, revolve around bad horror puns. The plot revolves around Anton, a completely worthless character, who basically does nothing but watch television and smoke weed all day. His friends are almost as bad but seem slightly more motivated than our dear friend Anton. Unknowingly to Ant, his hand has become possessed by evil since it has been idle, hence the title. He has already killed a boat load of people, including his own parents, before the discovery is made that his hand is evil. Present at the time of this discovery are his two friends who are quickly killed and then later buried only to rise up from the ground as Anton's undead friends. Oh, did I mention that the beautiful but slightly disturbed Molly (Jessica Alba) lives by Ant. Well she does and Ant, aside from the fact he is a total waste of space, actually hooks up with her, even with his evil hand. So Ant continues to kill and eventually lops of his hand with a butcher knife, only then to release the limb upon the world without the restrictions of a body. So he and his friends go in search of the hand, as the evil slayer (Vivica A. Fox) is also in search of it as she has been the entire movie in small little fragments of screen time. Everyone (Ant, 2 undead friends, Molly, demon slayer etc.) arrives at a school dance where Ant, after nearly being killed by the evil slayer, learns that he made a mistake in cutting off his hand as now it can more easily fulfill its purpose, which involves killing Molly at midnight. And no suprises here...it ends as you would expect it to end. Idle Hands compares miserably to the brilliant hand possession work done by Bruce Campbell in Evil Dead 2 but that has nothing to do with anything. It has ample amounts of gore, actors that make the script enjoyable (esp. the undead friends), and is something that you'll like if you enjoy horror and have that "off" sense of humor.
Adding to the wonderful story, Spielberg has at his disposal terrific special effects and a wonderful John Williams score.  Who will ever forget the final incredible half hour when the UFOs dance overhead bathing us with beautiful colours and light while communicating with us via music.

Regardless, the movie is wonderful and the experience of enjoying it has been improved by having it issued on Blu Ray.
When I started to watch, I noticed how it was similar in concept to Gotcha! (1985), with an American civilian mixed up in international intrigue.

5209	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Director Martin Scorsese (hot off of his critical breakthrough Mean Streets) directed this film that was destined to become an all time landmark in American cinema, and announced to the world the acting genius of Robert De Niro.  De Niro plays psychotic cabbie Travis Bickle; an ex-Marine who takes a job driving a taxi because he can't sleep.  He is driven to be a vigilante by seeing the ceaspool the city has become, while trying to protect a young prostitute (Jodie Foster) from her pimp (Harvey Keitel).  Screenwriter Paul Schrader wrote the character of Travis Bickle so vividly, and De Niro perfectly captures the essence of this psychotic man living in a world decaying around him.  Peter Boyle, Cybil Sheppard, and Albert Brooks also star, and look for Scorsese in a small role as a man following his cheating wife (the exchange between him and De Niro has quite a lasting effect).  DVD extras include some interviews and trailers, but I would have loved to hear a commentary from Scorsese and/or De Niro.  All in all, Taxi Driver may not be for everyone, but those who have never gotten the chance to see this should consider seeing it.  The final ten minutes are some of the most gripping and chilling scenes in all of American cinema.
Anyone else encounter this problem? Feedback on this issue will be greatly appreciated from fellow CE3K enthusiasts.

The acting is good, as well as the excitement. I really cant believe Anderson didn't just read the novel, because it went by the game so well, and was made up as a story. But if he did do it that way, the film wouldve had to at least be 3 hrs. long, but it wouldve been worth it. The actors were perfect though if they still had the same characters: Milla Jovovich couldve played jill. Michelle Rodriegiez couldve played Rebecca Chambers. Eric Mabius(guy who played in the great independent film black circle boys and the crow:salvation) couldve played chris redfield, and they couldve just found other people to play Barry and Wesker.

4807	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I'm old enough to remember when Taxi Driver came out - but I never watched it. I don't know why. I finally decided it was time - it has been such an iconic movie - and I never quite know what the references to the movie are about. It was surprisingly still relevant. I was also expecting to be disappointed by the cinemagraphics and it was perfect - and by that I mean - I wasn't distracted by cheesy props or obvious old technology. For as raw and simple as this movie is - it is not simple at all. Robert De Niro - looks so achingly young and plays the "hero" - a burned out vet driving a taxi. I couldn't understand why he royally screwed up his date with the woman of his dreams - but it helped to make it clear just how screwed up in the head his character was. Jodi Foster was heartbreakingly young and I kept thinking about my daughters or myself at that age - and how horrible it was that she was so street savvy and so young. But both of their performances were just stellar - absolutely sucked you in and made you believe in them. If I had watched this then - the message may not have been as clear to me - as it is now. One take away for me - is that this is not such an unlikely scenario for our psychologically wounded vets. We have so many out there - at this point in time - "they" are saying the average number of veteran suicide a day is 22. 22!!! Watching De Niro's performance was like looking inside the head of one these soldiers - you got that he just didn't care about anything any longer - and it was obvious that no one cared about him. I am a veteran myself - and have some of my own fears. I am completely against wars - because they are nothing more than a racket - making money money for civilians and killing young idealistic people - all for the sake of power. This movie solidified those thoughts for me. Overall I enjoyed it - but it was definitely dark and dreary and should only be watched when your own internal system is well enough to handle this kind of misery.
This isn't a movie for the kids because it rightly deserves its R-rating.  Towards the end, there's a good deal of brutal violence and even before that, there's a good deal of salty language (some of it is strongly sexual) and when Travis goes to the porn theaters in two scenes, there's footage of the erotic movies he's watching (one of them being the Swedish sexual film, Language of Love).  Not to spoil any parts of the film containing the brutal violence, there's one scene where a man gets his hand blown off with a .44 magnum, and it's not pretty.
 The major strength of this film lies in Christopher Sarandon's bi-sexual portrayal of Jerry. This man is a wet dream come true and makes every shot pure gold. He has the personality of old-world vampire charm and it's really a shame I haven't seen him in more horror (although he's been in plenty). Every time he's on the set my eyes remain glued to the screen and my glands start salivating. Maybe I should stop now while I'm ahead...

I was disappointed with the quality of the dvd as well. There is a highly noticable "shimmering" in the interogation scene between Dreyfess and the government agents. Also, the night sky scenes looked uneven with streaks of gray overlapping the blacks. Many scenes were "soft" and uneven. The bonus disc, however, is very nice and contains great interviews and a documentary about the making of the film.
This BD of "EASY RIDER" trumps any other version on home video before it. The image quality is beautiful and the sound is excellent for this film. This is a very impressive BD and I know that if your considering on purchasing, you will not be disappointed with it. Comes in the book-style case with essays and photos.
The filming, acting, and score is  superb.  My complaint is similar to others: it wasn't long enough.  I also  feel like the script could have used a little more polish.  However, this  short film is a fun and diverting fantasy, adding another dimension of  folklore to the layered theories surrounding the STAR WARS series and its  much-revered creator.


5262	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Taxi Driver is one of those rare mainstream horror movies, dark and sinister, ominous and threatening.  The mind of Travis Bickle is fierce and frightening, the loneliness omniprescent.  The performances are amazing in  this film, Robert DeNiro, looking very young, is incredible.  Cybil Shepard  is an odd fixture, and her role is never adequately explained.  Some may  find that annoying, but it adds a bit of thought from the viewer, which  really makes the movie interesting.  The special edition is wonderful, the  hour long documentary is inciteful and well worth having.  A real keeper,  and one that can be watched many many times, each time the viewer brings  something new.  It is incredibly violent <take a look at the stills in  the documentary of the tracking scene with the intense color> and  slightly explotative (which is understandable before Mean Streets, Scorsese  did Boxcar Bertha for Coreman) but like Silence of the Lambs, the  explotation aspect is one in keeping with the tone and feel of the movie.

8385	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	"Annie" is the original movie based on the highly successful Broadway musical, based on the highly popular comic strip character - little orphan Annie.

The naysayers were partly right; this was the first sign of Arnold faltering, though it would take another five years before he really started to lose his lustre; and it wasn't his best film by a long shot, though it certainly looks pretty good now in comparison with some of his later, even more expensive and less successful outings like END OF DAYS.  Basically the idea here is that we start off watching "Jack Slater III", an Arnold Schwarzenegger cop film in a sort of alternate reality that's pretty close to ours, and then our eventual sidekick character, an adolescent kid named Danny (Austin O'Brien) is revealed as watching the flick in a crumbling and decrepit old NYC movie palace.  The early scenes here are very evocative - Danny is watching the film alone, friends with the old projectionist Nick (Robert Prosky), and his mother (Mercedes Ruehl) worries about him skipping school and only being interested in movies and hanging out with the weird old guy.

Those who have played the video game series (I've only played a demo of the second game) will find lots of little homages within the film, at least according to the trivia section of IMDB; so will fans of George Romero films (both Dawn and Day of the Dead are well-represented with visual cues and the like; Romero was originally slated to direct this film) and Alice in Wonderland (Alice is fighting a computer called The Red Queen... In fact, some folks will have enough fun with the movie playing spot-the-reference that they won't really have to have much else for the film to be worth the admission price. For the rest of us, there's more than enough action (almost nonstop after the team has been in the Hive for about ten minutes), decent acting from a cadre of rising B-list actors (along with Jovovich, we have Michelle Rodriguez, Eric Mabius, James Purefoy, and a number of easily-recognizable others), more jump-out-of-your-seat moments than in any so-called horror film from the last decade, and, well, zombies. How bad can a film be if it's got zombies?... Add in a Marilyn Manson-scored soundtrack, shake, chill, and serve.

9837	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Once again after experimenting with the Blu Ray transfer I am really happy with the excellent quality. I am checking films which I own on dvd previously where the picture quality has somewhat downgraded over the years.
 "Brave New World", "1984", and "We" had one thing in common--a powerful ending. I was pleased to see that Gattaca continued this tradition--in fact, it was the ending that prompted me to give this movie 5 stars--prior to it, I was thinking either 4 or 4 and a half.

The action sequences were tiring at most.  Too flashy and perfect.  It also seems that characters don't have to have knowlegde of where characters are to find them.  For example, Jill and company are fighting off a group of lickers in the church when Alice comes riding through the cathedral on a motorcyle.  She's completely in gear and ready to go, doesn't sustain any wounds from the glass, manages to flip off the bike and kill all the lickers.  But she somehow knew Jill and company were there.  How?  Forget how cool her entrance was!  And then she manages to KNOW them all?

8347	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Having been lucky enough to see the original on Broadway I was looking forward to the transition to the silver screen.  Unfortunately most of the magic of the musical was left in New York and never made it to Hollywood.  The songs are, of course, very good, though they did drop one of my favorites, "NYC", from the score and added the, in my opinion, inferior "Let's Go To The Movies".  Aileen Quinn does a very credible job in the title role.  Albert Finney, as Daddy Warbucks, and Carol Burnett, as  Miss Hannigan, also do a good job.  Ann Reinking, as Daddy Warbucks' secretary, proves to be one of the best dancers around.  Many of the things that are done in the movie, such as the rescue of Annie on the railroad bridge, could not have done on the stage.  For all its shortcomings, "Annie" is still well worth the watch.

Henry Winkler does a great job of recreating the Scrooge character, and the supporting cast are no less admirable.  This is an annual "must watch" story for me.

5155	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I love this movie for many of the same reasons that other reviews here have listed...Dignan, the asburdity of his plans, how human and real everyone acts, etc. But another wonderful quality is the beautiful romance  between Anthony (Luke Wilson) and Inez (Lumi Cavazos). It's a sweet, and  again, REAL portrayal of a breathless yet awkward affair between an Anglo  suburban guy who can't speak Spanish and a Paraguayan motel cleaner who  can't really speak English. Still, they both have in common a feeling of  drift and aimlessness (why else would Anthony allow Dignan to involve him  in Dignan's ridiculous schmes?)that allows them to form a wordless bond.  This is the kind of character portrayal at which the Wilson-Anderson films  excel. I must say, though, that I prefer "Bottle Rocket" over  "Rushmore". Maybe it's just sentimental because I saw  "Bottle Rocket" first--they're both wonderful films.

6461	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	This film is a complete misrepresentation of the book "Prince of Tides." After reaching  of the film I couldn't stomach it any longer, I turned it off. The Prince of Tides is NOT just about the love story between Tom and Susan, it is also about growing up in the South and living amongst a dysfunctional family of abuse and social problems. There was absolutely nothing about Luke in the movie. Which by the way is the REAL Prince of Tides. Tom Wingo (Nolte) is NOT the Prince of Tides as stated in the movie. In fact the poem written by Savannah titled "Prince of Tides" was already written by the time Tom shows up in NY. I hate when Hollywood tries to change the stories they make movies on, such as the newest film, "Count of Monte Cristo", another total misrepresentation of the original story.

In a simultaneously poignant and revealing scene, when the aliens come to visit the little boy's house one night, his mother shuts all the doors. Then suddenly, Barry opens one of the doors revealing a splendor of light and magic spilling from beyond. Jillian runs to the door and quickly closes it. She will not forsake her child's safety for Barry's wonder and curiosity. Over and over, Barry displays a kind of innocent curiosity for the encounter while his mother can only react in fear.

7656	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Great Broadway musical with tons of choreography, however the plot is very predictable and did not explore the depths of many actor's characters.







The story is believable, the characters are all of us in a way, the special effects are spectacular, the wonder of it all is evident in almost every frame, the music is second to none, and this was, and remains Steven Spielberg's finest achievement.

Look for the thousands of little details and funny bits. It's a pure feel-good-movie if you ever saw one. Every cast member has his or her big moment and everyone is just simply brilliant. In my opinion "Roxanne" is one of the most perfect romantic comedies ever and one of Martins best performances. I don't know if Steve Martin feels that way. I think he should - he'd have every right to be very proud of this little gem!

The special was created using stop motion animation called "Animagic," in which all the characters are made out of wood and plastic and animated via stop-motion photography. The special was originally telecast December 14, 1970 by ABC and continues to air every year on sibling channel ABC Family, though both channels have at times edited the special to make room for commercials (ABC has cut two key songs, as well as two other songs in half; ABC Family has cut several scenes that might be traumatizing to younger viewers, like Kris climbing, and leaping to escape to prevent children from doing dangerous stunts, Winter Warlock knowing Kris will return, & telling him he'll never escape including the scene where the Burgermeister Meisterburger character torches the seized toys in front of the children of Sombertown).

What could be any more "biker" than that?  As they wander with little direction they come across and leave, without recognizing it, the one thing they are searching for.  Near the end of the film one braggs about reaching the American dream while the other finally realizes they were fools and missed their dreams.  The film ends with audience pathos at the sadness of two high ideal losers who could have had it all.  Perhaps this is a commentary on the counter culture of the period.  We had high ideals and recognized the failures of the previous generation, but had trouble pulling it all together ourselves.

 The series dealt with the rich and the poor and as any lover of soap opera knows when you pit these two types of people together fireworks will ignite. Indeed a soap, "Upstairs, Downstairs" dealt with the rich Bellamy family living in the high class Belgravia neighborhood in London. Their lives were intertwined by their servants who lived "downstairs" and who wanted to attain the richness and social standing of their employers. World War 1 was the backdrop for the serial which only added extra drama to the show.

- To be expected, the mystery build-up in the first hour is better than the last half hour, which is action-filled. Why? Mindless action with numerous quick edits somehow always becomes boring. Wouldn't it be great if a sci-fi-horror film like this ended in a truly unconventional blow-your-mind way (like the original "Planet of the Apes")? But the final sequence makes up for it, sort of.

3848	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Steven Spielberg's second smash hit, Close Encounters of the Third Kind is an effective, optimistic, and visually appealing film.  In the light of current special effects, it's showing its age, but the story still retains wonder and interest.  Richard Dreyfuss is very effective as the man who sights a group of U.F.O.'s and then becomes obsessed with them.  Others that have made sightings share the obsession, including a woman whose child is abducted by the aliens.  A seed is implanted in their minds that draws them to Wyoming.  Their stories are intercut with the story of two scientists (played by Truffault and Baliban) who are investigating the strange re-appearance of ships and planes that have been missing for years, and which turn up in strange locales.  They, too, receive a message (along the more conventional method of radio contact) to head to Wyoming.

6610	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Over-acting, silly dialog,  and drawn-out camera tricks to convey Joan's "visions"  make this a tedious and boring adaptation of an otherwise interesting historical tale.

The fact that any company this late in the home entertainment game would release a 2.35:1 film in a lousy 1:33 ratio is not only insulting and reckless, it shows incompetent individuals are making key decisions at the studios and they deserve to lose money.. This is yet another DVD from Sony which is worthless, and anyone who cares about movies and this film should avoid this version..... Oh, and I finally found an original '97 DVD release of LAH when released in both P&S & Widescreen on the same disc.. Got it for another $1, & yup, after all of these years, it still sucks... even for just $1.
 Iain Glen (from Game of Thrones) has a supporting role.  Mike Epps also appears.  Watch for Kevin McKidd (Rome) in a small role as a cowardly victim.  This great cast would cause directors of lessor Zombie flick to have loud, envious stomach rumbles.
Personally, I was never much into UFOs, a fact which never detracted from my enjoyment of the movie in the least.  The film did spark my interest enough to actually read (Prof. J. Allen) Hynek's book (i.e., by a prominent, long time astrophysicist, at Northwestern University); yet my conclusion, precisely from reading it, was that there is nothing to it.  What I have read since (notably, regarding the 'anthropic principle' in cosmology, as discussed for example in a book coauthored by astronomer John Barrow and physicist Frank Tipler), has led me to the conclusion that the scientific consensus regarding intelligent life elsewhere (even insofar as it takes into account the Drake equation, just not all the principles invoked by Star Trek), is that, in point of fact, the odds are astronomically against it. The intuitive argument that the universe is so big that it must, rather, be likely, evidently doesn't hold up, as when taking into account the age and size of the universe and the complexity of DNA, the numbers just don't crunch that way.  Then again, by the same token, the odds of us being here would also be astronomically against it, so I won't belabor the point; in any event, here we are.
The film runs 100 minutes and was shot at El Tecuan Marina Resort, Costa Careyes, Jalisco, Mexico (standing in for the Bahamas), and USC, Los Angeles, California.
2.$80 is a great price for the series if you don't already own the individual seasons, but where is this market? Most fans who are inclined to by DVD'S of the series at all, have already bought one or more seasons. Individuals who are not familiar with the show and would like to "try it out", may buy one or two seasons to see if they like it. I doubt they would spring for the entire series.

Travis was the most sane in a way.  He was seeing how bad things really were and was not in denial.  The other taxi drivers and other characters had defense mechanisms of one kind or another.

2424	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	No Mercy is one of those films that is not really that bad, but it leaves you wondering how did they get big stars to do it.  In the film Richard Gere plays a tough New York cop with a drinking habit, an ex-wife, and a bad rep.  So what happens to him?  Well his good natured partner (you know the one with the with the wife and kids and a good reputation a.k.a has everything to lose) gets murdered when Gere takes a tip from a local hood that a hit is about to go down.  So the film turns into the rouge cop on the revenge trail story.  This will bring him to New Oreans(that whole "fish-out-of-water" thing), and to Kim Basinger.  Along the way Gere will encounter lots of bad guys, bullets, cops who don't like him, swamps, crawfish, and cajons(sp?) all to a hip 80's soundtrack.
I couldn't be shocked by WWII material anymore, but I was wrong. It's always been the cost of the war in human lives that I find so unforgettable. To me, the study on Gypsy children by the Nazi working on her doctorate was madness incarnate. I know you have to fight sometimes, but overall this war was insanity in action started by insane men. Who was it who asked, "Was there ever a good war or a bad peace"? I might add, "Was there ever a sane war or an insane peace"?

"Making Taxi Driver" is the excellent 70 minute retrospective documentary that was included on the previous edition. It takes a fascinating, in-depth look at how the film came together with most of the major cast and crew members returning, including De Niro, Harvey Keitel, Jodie Foster, Cybill Shepherd and Albert Brooks. This is excellent doc. with loads of information.
After watching this film, I doubt you'll be able to understand why it didn't take every award that Hollywood doles out.

So, is it possible to top one of the funniest movies ever made? Yes, if the original team does the DVD, which happily has happened here. The whole Python crew has teamed, in one form or another, to bring you the same manic joy that inspired their infamous 1975 movie. Among the gems that kept me laughing are: the "Knights of the Round Table" musical number, reenacted by Lego figures; three "sing-along" features to accompany the "Knights" and other musical numbers of the movie; some highlights of the movie, shown in Japanese (with English subtitles); and the fact that the DVD of the movie actually begins with a different, sub-standard British comedy before the "projectionist" decides to "change reels."

However, I found the bonus material here (or lack thereof) very disappointing. Now, since I've only see this movie before on VHS, I don't know what was included on the original DVD release (if anything), but I was hoping for a little more in this version of the movie aside from just gorgeous sound and impeccable visuals. Instead, Last Action Hero on Blu-ray features Movie IQ, which allows for semi-annoying (if you haven't seen the movie a few times before) pop-ups that give interesting information about the film, and Blu Live, which seems to be a common feature among all Blu-ray movies meant to direct viewers to Sony's online store. There's no deleted scenes or outtakes (my personal favorite extras) or even interviews with cast and/or crew. While I understand that since this an older movie and keeping up with extra features was very different then, you would think that they could have come up with something.

The documentaries aren't done in the style you might expect, but instead feature things like cast members walking about meadows, pointing, and reminiscing about "that happened there" and "Graham couldn't remember this here" and such. Very enlightening, but a tad long. For a better Python doc, check out "Life of Python" on DVD.
The climax of the film involves a light show that lasts about twenty minutes as various alien ships dart around, hover, and finally land.  They then play a rousing tune for a few minutes to communicate even though they give the earthmen no way whatsoever to put the notes into any meaning or context.  It felt like an endless nightmare watching this scene drag on and on before it was finally over.  I'm fine with a peaceful encounter but this could have been done in one fourth the time with absolutely nothing lost.

The year is 1420.  The English and the French are vying for control over France, with the French being at their lowest point yet; the heir apparent (the Dauphin) is bankrupt, the French are divided and some factions support the English side, militarily they are on the defensive and are losing, while Paris, Orleans, Reims and other cities of importance are in the hands of the English.  It is at this critical moment of desperation and vulnerability that Joan of Arc appears to rally the French behind her banner and the "Word of God," in an effort to send the English "back to their island."

6350	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I read a review when this movie was released. It claimed that the direction was schizophrenic. Well I decided to see the film and prove that critic wrong. He was right. It was in so, so many ways a great film. The flashback of the rapes handled deftly. It could have been perfection, though...with a little editing. The movie poster needed to be edited. We had "A Star is Born". It made money but wasn't very good. This movie is not a love story. The "love story" was a contrived by-product of a harrowing psychological tragedy. What we get is Barbra in Daddy's arms again. Enough already. After crossing what are questionable ethical boundaries and having sex with Mr. Wingo, there is this cheesy romp to the cabin in the woods to somehow legitimize this "relationship". Edit: Barbra and Nick f**k like animals in the doorway. Cut: to Barbra crossing the street knowing he'll return to his wife. No romp in the woods! The movie would stay hard and dead serious. Also, the pan away in the last frames. "Lowenstein, Lowenstein" Bullcrap, Bullcrap  How many Fanny Brice, Yentyl, Daisy Gamble, Dolly (I think) pan aways have we seen. It lost it's appeal. And she's only there by proxy, "Lowenstein" Those are the two major reasons I can see that the Academy snubbed her. It was definitely a time when harder movies were in vogue. She got in her own way even when she attempted to get out of her way. It could have been a great film that wasn't a Streisand star turn. She has star turned enough. Barbra's part could have been smaller and much more effective. She might have come across as a temptress, a slut, desperate, but she would have won an Oscar and made a truly Great film for its time.
The cast all complement each other and this is one of those movies that girls should really watch together to bond. Guys will think its ok since it does have some funny parts. Overall, this is a chick flick but its a very good chick flick.

Last Action Hero is hard to describe. It's funny, it's witty, with lots of those one-liners that Arnold became so popular with, and I loved the way he constantly poked fun at his fictional character as well as his "real" self. Some of my favorite dialogue in the movie is when the kid is trying to convince "character Arnold (aka: Jack Slater)" that he's actually just a character in a movie. The kid starts asking about phone numbers and how can they possibly all start with 555- in a city with several million phone numbers, when Jack Slater exasperatedly says, "That's why we have Area Codes..." Priceless. The movie is full of fun stuff like that, and I highly recommend this movie to anyone who is even remotely a Schwarzenegger fan, or who just like campy, yet intelligent, movies. The parody within a parody, and movie within a movie actually worked well in this one.

My second main objection was how Ciaran Hinds was directed to play Rochester. I blame the director because I've seen Hinds in many movies and know the range of emotion he can display. In this version he was essentially one-note: he shouts all the time. The ONLY time he softens is in the bedroom with Jane after the fire. That one scene showed me what could have been, and only sharpened my disappointment with the rest. What a sad waste of what could have been a marvelous production.

No blemishes and certain outdoor scenes look absolutely fantastic and for a film 40-years-old, I have to say that it looks better than many films that I have seen released back in the 1980's and 90's.  Grain is kept and for the most part, detail of the chopper's, Billy's clothing, Wyatt's sunglasses, you see that detail. There were some scenes, such as the visit to the commune where picture quality seems a little aged compared to the rest of the film but for the most part, this is the best looking version of "Easy Rider" to date.

Watching this film again, in pristine DVD clarity, reminded me of just how little talent and creativity remains in Hollywood these days. As awesome as the effects in "Close Encounters" were (and still are), they never overpower the human element.

How refreshing to look back and see a film from a simpler, more idealistic time when ideas and original concepts still exited!

My point is that they can't match up to the Pythons' thought patterns. They made comedy by touching nerves - sensitive areas that you find appalling at first, then somehow, you find them funny.

I think one complaint that I have with the film is that it doesn't FEEL Resident Evil. Instead of quiet atmospheric rooms with dim lighting and ambient music, you get full-blown lighting and loud music, courtesy of Marilyn Manson.

Here you get decapitations, cut in half and in one scene, guy falling in chunks after meeting a laser grid. Kudos on the ending though, which ends on a nice downnote and sets things up for the sequel.

Folks pulled up in cars, attached speakers to their windows, and watched movies on a large wall set in an enormous field. In my day, the drive in had two uses. One: it was a place where you took a girl on a date because you were too young  to have your own apartment and not worldly enough to get a hotel room. When used like this, you and your date simply steamed up the windows in your old man's car, and it didn't matter what the movie was. The other purpose of the drive in was to go with a gang of your friends (with one usually stuffed in the trunk to save the price of one ticket) bringing in as much beer and wine-cooler as you could stuff under the seats. Resident Evil would have made a perfect drive-in movie, and frankly, I loved it.

For example, in a lot of contemporary big-budget films, plot, script, and character all serve to support the special effects.  Oftentimes everything seems to be serving the lead actor.  In adult films, everything serves the orgasm.  Generally there is one thing that is the point of the film, and everything else exists as placeholders.  I think for Bottle Rocket, the master is character, and the plot really serves to motivate character development.  For whatever reason, and for whatever its worth, this seems like a much more valid point than, say, explosions or Kevin Costner's classic good looks.

Although the couch potatoes often think so, the movie ending hostility and brutality wasn't all that contrived, and I can vividly recall being bodily run out of a much needed gas-stop in rural Mississippi back then, just for the crime of showing up on a bike wearing leather (it was November...) -- and even today, not every motel looks kindly on bikes unless they're of the Tupperware barge variety.  Never mind that Easy Rider starts with a drug buy, we were pretty naive back then, the general peaceful wandering of the two says as much about the era, and those of us who were too wiped out to truly remember the 60's, as, say, Star Trek says about the social issues we attempted to wrestle with...

She can look really sweet, but also tomboyish.  She can look threatening, like all the times she raises her fists.  The girl in the Disney "Annie" looks too sweet.

3727	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Close Encounters is thirty years old and can be considered a classic among cinema fanatics.  The movie was released when special effects were in their infancy.  Movies like Star Wars had just come out and the idea of bringing UFO's to life was becoming possible.  Now thirty years later movies like this seem very simple.  Although the story never grows old and now in hi-def it is well worth another look.
Foreign jail flicks all tend toward the Kafka-esque.  From the first day of his incarceration, Billy attempts to learn the codes and signals that will enable his survival in this proverbial hell on earth.  In an early scene, he is corralled into some kind of mug shot which actually turns out to be a kind of grotesque group shot with his captors.  They're laughing and fooling around at first, and Billy almost instinctively joins in, until one of the guards slaps the silly grin off his face.  Billy has yet to learn the code at that point.  As the perp, he's not allowed to share in the hilarity of the moment.

Luc Besson, often original - regardless of whether tou likeor not what he does (and a lot of people tend to not like it - seems to have gone for some mix of the two.
It still holds up.

Basically, this movie jabs the Arthurian legend, heroic knight movies and movies in general in the eye with a sharp herring (sorry, reference to the film there). Bits where references are made to the film's construction are made are among the funniest moments, e.g.: "'It's the old man from scene 24!'" and 'Fortunately, at that moment the animator suffered a fatal heart attack.' Unlike the other Python film I've seen, The Meaning Of Life, pretty much every single sketch is howlingly funny.

Even though I know exactly what's going to happen (who am I fooling?

In this case you can credit Sally Fields, Daryl Hannah (who does a sort of dorky blonde Jesus freak), and Olympia Dukakis grabbing the gear-shift on everyone's emotion by using Shirley MacLaine's grumpy Ouiser  character.

4181	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	Michelle Pfeiffer fails to convince me of her grief at losing her son to a kidnapper. She seems guilty about losing sight of him momentarily and for letting him get lost. Her guilt overtakes everything, and she is not a very devoted mother to her other two children. You can see that they are suffering from her neglect and total self-absorption. I felt that the movie was supposed to have been very compelling on an emotional, almost primal, level, but it was not compelling at all. I imagine that the book did a better job of conveying the terror of losing your child and realizing that your child may be gone forever. The people in the film all seemed to be too obsessed with themselves. Naturally this kind of tragedy will cause introspection and times of real doubt and soul searching, but I did not get the sense that the people here had any level of depth or sincerity.

I read a while back that the original rough-cut of the movie that was test-screened with disasterous results was a little under 2 1/2 hours. Warner Bros. then demanded that the filmmakers cut the film down considerably, which they grudgingly obliged. The producers stated that the revised cut they turned in came in at 101 minutes with credits and they were actually happy with that cut. But Warner Bros. then proceeded to cut an additional 12 minutes from the film and the result was 89 minutes of terrible action scenes and no plot and logic. Do I think that the original cut would be better? It might certainly make considerably more sense, but the movie would still be awful due to some huge problems.

American Individualism, in 1969, was a classic thread running throughout American history, as was communalism. What was spectacular not only about Easy Rider but the sixties overall was the sense of blending of these two major threads in American history. The tension between Billy the Kid and the Hippie commune can be viewed, among other things, as the cinematic representation of the struggle for true Individualism in the Anglo American psyche. There is no ready resolution to this dichotomous past.
If you're an "Easter-egg hunter" (quite literally in this instance), look for the playwright, Robert Harling himself, playing the part of  the minister at the Easter festivities (both at the beginning and end of the film), the "Ouiser never did a religious thing in her life," joke in the church, and at the funeral. I won't go into too much detail with spoilers.

Rochester was always referred to being dark, mysterious with black hair and eyes--hard to get past that part, but he is a sexy man.

The price has dropped on this set dramatically even from when I wrote my original review.  It is still one of my go-to discs to demo my blu-ray, so people can see what the format can do for a film that is 33 years old!  I cannot wait to see "Jaws" and "A.I." added to the repertoire.  Close Enounters is not just a movie, but an experience.  It reminded us to look at the stars with awe and wonder and dream of the possibilities.  The story is expertly crafted and still relevant and relatable.  The fact this transfer is so spectacular makes it a new experience with all the awe and childlike wonder flooding back to me.  A must own for fans of the film and fans of blu-ray.

"Russell Harty Plus" Interview with Angela Baddeley (9:40)
I've noticed a number of studios framing out distribution to other distributors who jack up the prices and only print a limited number of copies. It's a shame the majority of fans can't enjoy them.
...but lets forget about them and talk about Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  There are simply not enough adjatives to adaquately describe this film.  It is thinking humor, it is slapstick humor, it is political humor, it is irrevant humor, it parodies Arthurian Legends (with a jab at ancient greece as well) documentaries, spectacles, and itself all in one package.
Aspect Ratio: 2.40:1
"Monty Python and the Holy Grail" is a tongue-in-cheek look at the lore surrounding the Arthurian Legend and his quest for the Holy Grail.  The film pulls no punches, taking jabs at everything from the political strife between the French and the British, the Catholic Church, the Inquisition, the British Aristocracy and just about every legend and myth surrounding King Arthur and the Knights of the Roundtable.
The final mano-a-mano battle royal at then end is  pretty forgettable.
Although I usually don't like films that feature a narration, this one is an exception.  Robert Redford (who has no other role in the film) does a fine job narrating the film from the standpoint of Norman Mclain, one of the two brothers.
My favorite scene in the movie has to be when De Niro is talking to the secret service man.  It's so funny and yet so chilling at the same time.  And, of course, who can forget watching De Niro talking to himself in the mirror.  "You talkin' to ME?"

Then a semi-side plot to whole movie is the conflict between Alice and Nemesis (a huge T-virus mutant).  The Umbrella Corporation wants to see the two battle it out and test each other.  Allright so the two have a couple semi-random encounters which were actually kinda cool, but then we get towards the end of the movie and their "battle" has yet to resolve itself.  So we can't have that.  Rather than have to two stumble across/find each other in some random cool location and end it, an Umbrella Corporation scientist forces the two to literally fight now.  "You and you step forward and end this."  I thought for a second I'd stumbled into a "Mortal Kombat" movie, I expected at anytime to hear the deep gravely voice utter the word FIGHT.  Needless to say the scene was lame.  Once again however ultimately forgivable due to artistic license.
Milla Jovovich looks as tough as Xena: Princess Warrior with guns a blazing on a Harley. As for director Paul Anderson, he was supposed to direct this sequel but, fell back on his word and chose to do "Aliens v.s Predator."
The acting doesn't really help the matter.
But for me the best thing about this film is Robert Redford (you won't hear me say that too often) and his deft hand at relaying, with tender restraint, the beauty of this budding `sibling' relationship.  You can feel the love and respect just flow from Redford's every pore as he delicately settles into telling this beautiful story.  The camera finds the right nooks to explore and the right scenes to embellish.  The film glows with subtle yet substantial depth, and a lot of that falls on the shoulders of the man who helmed it.

 Stephen Geoffreys adds his own style to this film and plays an important part as well. He plays "Evil".

The downstairs staff is directed by the butler, Hudson (Gordon Jackson), who relies on discipline to preserve traditional standards, and discretion to prevent scandal, but can be sympathetic when the occasion warrants.  Mrs. Bridges (Angela Baddeley), the cook, overcomes kitchen crises and follows household gossip.  Rose (Jean Marsh), the head house parlor maid, later ladies maid, is devoted to the family, but occasionally expresses dissatisfaction with her "place" in the system.  Under house parlor maid Sarah (Pauline Collins) makes up in imagination what she lacks in education; anxious to escape domestic service, she becomes a chorus girl.

The film was shot in Chicago and Louisiana (and some parts in NC).
The first half of the movie was good, but for some reason they decided to turn it into some watered-down, cheesy, leave-the-audience-feeling-secure kind of movie during the last half. Another reviewer mentioned the movie 2001 and compared it to Close Encounters, all I have to say is that they're completely different from each other- one has a philosophical message and one doesn't. Basically this movie is for those who wanna lie to themselves and say that there's nothing to worry about. 2001 is definitely the movie to see if your interested in aliens- im not saying it's real (who knows though?), but its sure more engaging than Close Encounters.
In 1982, Hollywood put its rather dull and child-like stamp on "Annie." Not only does this Annie- Aileen Quinn have a horrible voice, but is also cutesy and phony.

As Miss Hanigan, Carol Burnett get the drinking part right, but that's about all she does through the whole movie.

9249	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	"Monty Python and the Holy Grail" is a landmark of screen comedy.  It is easy to equate this brilliant Medieval tomfoolery with something that preceded it but this film is a true original.  The film is an intricately plotted series of comic setpieces that mocks the Arthurian legend with equal amounts of silliness and informed intelligence.  Thirty years on this film has lost none of it's comic luster.  I have numerous favorite moments but that would ruin it for the uninitiated.  I was fortunate to have seen this film when I was a teenager theatrically back in the day when the Pythons brand of madness was just breaking on these shores.

This Movie plays like it's Dawn of the Dead meets Aliens, which surprisingly works well but It's does have Some Weakness and also has some unintentional laughs coming from the Dialogue. Anderson brings a stylish Edge to the Film and Even when the Zombies are Scary. Jovovich looks good in this Flick, also Michelle Rodriguez and Eric Mabius gives Good Performances.

Nicholson tends to steal the scenes he is in, and gives a particularly wonderful piece about what freedom is, and why people are so afraid of it.  He sort of represented to me one who has been fed many misconceptions about the individuals and movement Wyatt and Billy represent, but once in their company, finds that much of what he has been told may not be true.  A sort of individual caught between the generations.

Every one of these ladies reach absolute perfection in their perspective roles. I would get a box of tissues because this film is a real tearjerker, Julia Roberts captivates your heart as Shelby, a young wife with diabetes who wants to have a child. Her mother is afraid that her fragile body won't be able to take such a huge responsilbilty. If you want a great Southern Belle film then Steel Magnolias is the one to watch. I HIGHLY recommend it!

Upstairs Downstairs is the story of the Bellamy family of 165 Eaton Place, London from about 1903 to 1930.  The Bellamys are an aristocratic family with a houseful of servants.  The interplay of story line and personality between Upstairs (the Bellamys and their friends and relatives) and Downstairs (the assorted servants) was beautifully done.  Some of the episodes tended to be a bit too soap operaish, but at its best the series was utterly spellbinding and memorable.

6824	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I love horror movies, but I'll have to admit, coming into this one I was not expecting a great movie.  I mean, come on, what video game turned movie ever is.  From the previews, it look as if there were barely any zombies and most of the monsters were the zombie dogs, a computerized girl, or Nemesis.  After viewing the trailer, I was dissapointed b/c, quite frankly, the zombies are the scariest part.  I am glad to say that I was pleasantly suprised.  The movie was great, the acting was wonderful, and there were more zombies than I could shake an machine gun at.  I went with my wife to see this and I swear, she spent most of the movie with her head buried in my arm, and she doesnt scare easily.  The only downside to the movie was that the beginning was a bit confusing, but it all makes since as time goes on.  If you like to be scared and on the edge of your seat, this movie is for you.  But don't go into it comparing it to the video game, because as you have probably already read, its not like the game.  Just forget the game even exist and view this title as just an A+, action packed horror movie.  No, RE fans, its not like the game......its better!

Apocalypse picks up right where the first one left off.  Racoon City is being sealed off as the virus can't be contained.  Alice and a handful of others must find a high ranking scientist's daughter who didn't make it out of the city.  The ending leaves you wanting more as well.
496	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	This was one of the best movie from a Old Testament Biblical story.  The only problem with this is the nude scene when "Joseph" was nude in the water.  I think  this could have been left out and the story would had been perfect.
4110	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	This movie is not credible on a psychological level. Sam/Ben was too well-adjusted, too articulate, and too mature for his age. Any kid in real life would not be expected to abruptly pack his bag and leave his home behind. He would not have been able to psychologically heal--never mind forgive--his older brother. It would have taken years of therapy for the family to come together as a family. Basically, this is an escapist, feel-good movie with competent enough acting.

The video is worse then the dvd.


9118	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Plenty of memorable fun moments in this Monty Python classic.  I shared it with my 13 year old and I don't have any reservations about a teen or late preteen watching this movie.  A mildly suggestive scene in the castle that houses only women is tame by 2013 standards.  Some violence with blood that is absurd enough to be comedic and acceptable to most 12 to 16 year olds.  This is a delightfully stupid movie and it helps if someone in the room has seen Monty Python before so that you can help explain to newcomers the disjointed, time warping, Python style of story telling.  The "monster" in the cave scene is a classic that was just as funny now as it was decades ago.  If possible watch "And Now for Something Completely Different" by Monty Python first and then watch this second.
Sony did a 1080p transfer(1.66:1 original aspect ratio) of this movie that looks amazing! There's lots of strong detail in faces, clothes, as well as surroundings like buildings, grass, trees. Flesh and earth tones look very natural. Blacks are deep. Strong color is not going to jump out at you, but that's just the nature of the film as the outdoor setting of much of the movie's grass, dirt, and rocks(browns, blacks, grays & greens) never contained strong color elements. But what color there is (like in the tabards,coat of arms, shields) looks very good indeed. Is the movie without soft shots or grain? No, but they've brought out a whole lot of nicely rendered detail that makes the movie a joy to watch. Until now, I feel like I've only seen this movie through a fog. Well, the fog has finally lifted and everything looks sooo fresh.

1525	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I LOVE this series and absolutely hated to see it end.  Disc 4 of my set had some annoying background buzzing noise for several minutes of a couple of episodes, but the rest were fine.  A few blurry spots, every one in a while, but I can live with that.  The stories are well worth it.  I will admit it's hard to see some of the main characters leave---like colorful, sassy Sarah; or the elegant Marjorie.  I also missed Elizabeth, but the writers started playing with her character and she lost some of her charm.  I highly recommend this series for anybody who loves to snoop into the lives of the elite while enjoying the far more entertaining personalities of the common folk.

4076	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I always have and always will consider this a very meaningful and worthwhile movie. Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon were outstanding choices for the lead roles because they truly knew how to fit the types of characters they were playing. Susan Sarandon is Jackie Harrison, a highly devoted mother who is an outstanding example of a woman who loves and places her children above herself. Her ex-husband Luke (Ed Harris) finds a new love, Isabel (Julia Roberts). The whole situation is difficult for Jackie and both of her young children, especially her 12-year-old daughter Anna, who resents Isabel. When Susan is diagnosed with fatal cancer, it becomes absolutely necessary for the two kids to learn to accept Isabel. Many, many hardships and challenges rise between Susan and Isabel before they are finally able to put aside their differences, become friends, and figure out how to handle the future of their family--a future that they can no longer deny. I especially liked this movie because it deals with such serious and complex issues that many of us can at least appreciate if we have not experienced it ourselves. You really feel the tone of the issue through Anna, Susan's oldest child. She is such a horrible brat, you want to kick her, but then you soften when you realize that she is just scared and upset because she loves both of her parents, and it is hard for her to get through all of the changes. Any of us can understand or even relate to that. Although I enjoyed most aspects of this movie, I really loved the way Susan taught her children not to be afraid of her death, especially her very young son. There's no greater way to show your love for your child than by putting on a brave face during the scariest moment of your life in order to spare them the fear that you feel yourself. It truly is touching the way Susan loves her kids so selflessly in this movie. It's very deep, very moving, and worth the money to buy. I hope this review was helpful.
  Dreyfuss,(a man on a mission), has had a close encounter, is out to find out where and why. Believe me, if this was you, you would have sleepless nights. Dialogue is good, FX, is incredible for 1977, and the soundtrack is FANTASTIC. Spielberg's 3rd feature film is a breakthrough, and one mans drive and vision of his childhood dreams. Spielberg is the man, and he was only 28 then, War of the Worlds basically relies on CGI effects, still fun, but this is the best(friendly) alien encounter film ever. Hope that didn't spoil anything. Entertaining, hands down, or up, if your reaching for the dark skys.

Rent it if you want a good laugh, and if you want to watch a decent zombie flick try the new Dawn of the Dead.

The movie was very suspenseful right from the get go. Giorgio Moroder's musical score,while such synthesizer work seems so outdated by today's standards now,adds to the intensity;eerie electronic effects,etc. Who can forget the famous Chase theme. The late Brad Davis was perfectly cast. You see his fine acting in the film as he transforms from a wide-eyed and naive, yet intelligent(or not so) American in a foreign land into a  violent, maniacal,and broken down prisoner who reaches subhuman level.  In fact, it's astonishing how another actor 20 some years later strongly resembles him in almost every way;Brad Pitt. Minus the fact one had black hair, the other is blonde. It would be incredible to see Midnight Express re-made with Pitt in the lead role...Randy Quaid was also memorable as the hyper and tempestuous cell mate planning the first escape. John Hurt's character serves as the voice of reason which is a contracdiction since he's mostly stoned throughout the film and in the same prison for his own crime. The cinematography is foreign (pun intended), gritty, grimy and has plenty of shady/sleazy characters from the consolate(actor Bo Hopkins),lawyers, and court system to the other inmates. The prison warden is nothing more than probably a criminal himself and fits every bit the stereotypical prison villain one can expect in a film who abuses his authority and relishes releasing his own personal brand of hell upon the inmates...The ending of the film is something else. Just as I felt the nervous intensity from the beginning, I felt it in my gut at the end !

There are many other Blu-ray versions, there is a German Blu-ray version, I believe there is also a Blu-ray Australian version none of which were playable on American Blu-ray players.

783	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This annual movie on PBS is a favorite of mine, and now my daughters have taken a shine to it as well. Arthur and some of his friends are struggling to meet the cultural ideal of a "perfect Christmas." In the process, they learn that the best holidays are personal, and meaningful precisely because of those heartfelt aspects that cannot be purchased in a store or gleaned from advertisements. This is also the rare holiday movie that acknowledges those people who may not celebrate Christmas. It's a heartwarming experience for any viewer, and makes this father's eyes misty every year.
 The spring of 1978 for me was the season of "Star Wars" and "Close Encounters." It was my first year of junior high school. My friends and I would debate if "Star Wars" or "Close Encounters" was the better film. Many said "Star Wars." But for me, the film in history was "Close Encounters."

Director Cannon - who made a spectacular feature debut with the underrated British crime thriller THE YOUNG AMERICANS (1993) before crashing to an abrupt halt with the poorly-scripted JUDGE DREDD (1995) - begins to turn the screws very early in the film, adding a slightly unpleasant streak of cruelty to some of the murder scenes, and John Frizzell's shrieking music score sets the nerves jangling throughout. Some of the climactic revelations stretch credibility to the limit, but the film employs an eccentric, comic-strip logic which works on its own terms, and subsequent viewing reveals a multitude of clues surrounding certain characters and incidents which are cleverly designed to elude first-time audiences. So, if it's a genuine nerve-shredder you're after, this great big lunk of a movie is just the ticket.

Now I got that out of the way, Resident Evil is a pretty good zombie movie, successfully adapted from the game by Paul W.S. Anderson. This film is everything House of the Dead wanted to be but couldn't. The zombies move at a decent pace as does the movie and there are plenty of "BOO!" moments, but nothing too scary. Gorehounds will be happy and Zombaholics will have fun playing guess the reference, such as the elevator scene which recalls the original Dawn of the Dead. The acting is good as far as zombie movies go and the cinematography is great. A must have for any zombie fan.

What exactly is the movie about? Well, this is the retelling of the story of King Arthur, his uniting with the Knights of the Round Table at Camelot, and of course, the search for the Holy Grail--all told in a British humor fashion. Pointless, you may say, but still funny as hell nonetheless. And what a funny crew of Knights of Camelot, too; we have: Arthur, King of the Britons, Sir Bedevere the Wise (I think), Sir Lancelot the Brave, Sir Gallahad the Pure, and Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir-Lancelot. When a new strategy was planned along the way though, the Knights split up and went seperate ways to find the Grail, and that's when the comedy ensues. You'll see Sir Robin meet a giant three-headed knight whose three heads bicker at each other; Sir Gallahad run into a castle filled with sex-driven maidens; Sir Lancelot try to rescue a princess locked in a castle only to find out it's really a wussy prince trying to escape from being forced by his father to marry someone in favor of the bride's landscape; and King Arthur and Sir Bedevere meet the Knights who say "Ni!" that order the two to find a shrubbery with their necks at stake. In addition you'll find the entire crew meet up a castle full of disrespectful French and a certain rabbit...
The movie's  camp factor helps in boosting the film's appeal with teenagers and  pop-culture fans, and although the acting is not that great, the film gives  us many hilarious scenarios including a Mission Impossible-based fantasy  called "Spice Force 5," and an enjoyable photo shoot where the  girls imitate major pop icons of the past and themselves.

Sally Field plays M'Lynn Eatenton, whose daughter Shelby (Julia Roberts) is getting married as the movie opens. Their friend and hairdresser Truvy Jones is played by Dolly Parton.

Ouiser has the best line in the film: "I'm not crazy, I've just been in a very bad mood for forty years."

Spielberg does his sci-fi epic the same way with this excellent release of the 1977 UFO Classic, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. When it was first released on video back in the early 80's it was the Special Edition version which was released to theaters in 1980 with new end footage with the interiors of the Mother Ship as well as other scenes edited out entirely and replaced with other scenes or alternate versions of other scenes. In fact, the only way to ever see the original was when it aired on TV as a movie and even then the two versions were combined to fill a 3 hour time slot. In the 1990's Laserdisc owners were the first to be able to own the original version thanks to Criterion Collection laserdiscs, except that the end credits were from the 1980 version. Then in 2001, the Collector's edition came out and it was more of a marriage of the two versions as it still eliminated key scenes from the original version, yet restored the original

Anderson's filmmaking style, so effervescent in his next two films ("Rushmore", "The Royal Tenenbaums"), still shines through here, although it is hampered by two things.  First, he has a stingier budget to work with (at one point we see inmates wearing jumpsuits emblazoned with the words "WASCO STATE PENITENTIARY"; the same suit, if seen in "Tenenbaums" would be professionally made and ornate, while here it appears to be a painter's overalls written on with magic marker).  Second, whereas "Rushmore" and "Tenenbaums" were basically confined to one setting (a prep school and a Manhattan townhouse respectively), "Bottle Rocket" is a road movie.  Anderson can't plan elaborate tableaus, filled with precious details, when the location may change from scene to scene.  These aren't harsh criticisms, mind you.  But I did feel like Anderson wasn't able to fully play to his strengths here, as he got a chance to later.

The real murderer of the director is revealed and there's not much surprise in the actual culprit - but the story wraps up the "murder mystery" subplot so quickly that questions are left unanswered like: we're told that the murderer has had non-violent tendencies genetically engineered out of him, yet he beats another man to death.

Dreyfuss, ... is brilliant in this film, with his gradual obsessions and transfixion creating a fascinating film, which has become an undisputed classic. The oft-imitated famous five note tune composed by the maestro John Williams is only one of the memorable moments of the film, including Roy's obsession with the image that haunts him, the chase up Devil's Tower and the re-appearance of all the people abducted by the aliens. Carlo Rambaldi's excellent alien creations surpass most CGI attempts at realism. As far as the various versions of the film go, the definitive one is this DVD, with the extended ending omitted, leaving the film more complete, regardless of the shortened running time. A true classic that will be remebered as one of the greatest Sci Fi films in film history.
With nothing to fill his days with, ex-Vietnam vet Bickle accepts an overnight cabbie job that guarantees him very long hours. Unlike his fellow drivers, Travis is willing to take fares to the most dangerous areas of NYC. His brief friendship with an attractive gal ends badly and her rebuff sends him into a downward spiral of isolation and obsessive dreams of revenge against the decadent city he chooses to wander through. These sociopathic impulses play out in a most dramatic and explosive fashion.

Much as part 1 ended with the initiation of its sequels premise, so does part 2 leave the doors wide open for part 3: Initiate the Alice Program.  Id say keep going if you liked either of the first two.  Theres nothing particularly thoughtful to be found here, yet still a lot of effort was evident behind making this fun and exciting.

5091	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	1976 was a funny electoral year. One year after the full defeat in Vietnam and the evacuation of Saigon on the run. Two years after the resignation of Nixon, to avoid an impeachment that would have led to the very first conviction of the President. 1976 was the year when all had to changed, and nothing really changed because the establishment just looked for a way to save face and restore the everyday standard imperialistic power, and of course that will fail with Jimmy Carter, but Scorsese could not know it though everyone knew that success would be a miracle. What's more, success in that line was doomed in the long run. It was not yet possible to know what was going to happen in China, but we could know it was going to change, even if it was quite clear that the Soviet Union was not going to change at all, even if we could not know the industrialized feudal soviet system was going to fall down the chute, was going to be flushed down the drain. That was what Scorsese meant with his crossroads but he did not know how many roads there were in that crossroads nor where they led nor of course which one to take. But one thing was sure in those days: the US were going to take a road that did not lead to any confrontation with their real historical mission which is to create democracy through freedom in a system that had to improve itself all the time because it knew perfection did not exist in this world, be it only because perfection is divine and cannot be found in a non-divine world, in a human world, what's more in a human sinner's world. It was sure the US were not going to face their historical fate and their inner problems and their inner challenges like for example the racial problem, like for example the education of their young, like for example the control of violence, like for example a health care system that was more than necessary. The film is a vague echo of that particular challenge with the allusion to the welfare system, because that was where the US stood at the time: helping the poor. But Warhol had already exposed that problematic solution by showing in his films how vain, hypocritical and corrupted the welfare system was in the US, and that could not be an objective for the US, an objective they could put in their constitution in the form of a new amendment, the only way to really improve the system is by making it constitutional since then to repeal such an amendment is particularly difficult. But the film has aged tremendously since today the US have reached the end of that road, the bad road they chose in 1976. They are deep in the mud of a new war (the Buddhist have a nice saying about elephant getting caught in mud) that has been rejected by the world from the very start, they are confronted to the emerging of a world power they will have to share responsibilities with sooner or later so let it be now, the famous BRIC, Brazil, Russia, India and China, and that has to be done straight away since that BRIC is already the first economic power in the world and will be the first political power in the world within a few years. What's more the US is deeply agitated by the necessity to finally come to terms with the racial divide and the racial problem, by the obligation to provide all Americans with a full health care system, by the duty to provide every American with the possibility to educate themselves even if the government has to cut the military budget to do that. The good old three objectives of equality, good health and education in a system that would recapture freedom and democracy, both having been impaired and limited in the process of the US negating history in order to impose their own self centered epiphanic power. But what does Scorsese envisioned beyond 1976? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. The system was defeated in a way. That's why the film has aged since the US and Americans finally have the chance today to be able to choose the road that would lead to their finally getting to political adult age.
For high flying escapist entertainment they don't come much more downright enjoyable than this.

Centered in or around New Orleans in the depression era, the film is about  men who earn their living as bare-fisted street fighters, and one of the  best is an unknown fighter played by Charles Bronson.  James Colburn is  great as his sleezy manager in trouble with the mob.  This is a highly  entertaining movie with some good performances (even Bronson's) along with  a realistic view of the era.  Between 1 and 10, "Hard Times" gets a  well-deserved 8.

5040	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	'Taxi Driver' is a dark film looking at one mans alienation from society and life around him. It looks at how he gradually descends into his own form of madness and you really get a sense for how he feels through De Niros chilling portrayal. The lack of sleep and night shifts Travis (the main protagonist) works only serve to isolate him further from reality and life. When he meets a young political campaigner and a prostitute, both of these relationships spur him into dark action against the scum of new york. I have to say the direction and acting was excellent, you really get a feel for the malevolence Travis feels around him and his sense of disjointed exhaustion. The soundtrack is very dated now and the same jazzy refrain used throughout the film started to get on my nerves. It is a good film and definitely one to watch, but I have to say I was expecting so much more after all the hype on these pages and from things i've heard before that I was left a touch disappointed. The ending is powerful and then kind of fizzles out afterwards, you'll know what I mean when you watch it. Overall a good film and worth a viewing.
"Stay Tuned" - Investigating Steed's amnesia (a returning theme from previous years), Steed and Tara uncover a plot to kill their boss, "Mother".
Easily the most hilarious and original comedy ever made, Monty Python and the Holy Grail claims it's undisputed throne through insanely ridiculous situations and characters that will very likely never be duplicated. Pure comedic genius that doesn't go stale with age or decades of competition having been released. Simply seeing the way comedy films are made today, this film will very likely have a long reign before anything can even hold a candle to it. An absolute belly-laugh fest that never lets up.
Does not follow the sequence of events in the games, i.e., The Train from RE2 is in this one. Too many scenes in which the director tries to scare you. With a hand here and a zombie there. The film is good enough without those things, it feels strained, like he's trying to make it up to the fans for the fact that Romero was thrown off the project. It's like he was trying to prove he can make a scary flick.
Word play:  Jerome = Genome?  Eugene = Eugenics?  Curious.

Two scenes in particular illustrate the human beauty that this film is so adept at conveying.  The first involves Parry (Robin Williams) and his daily routine: watching and following Lydia (Amanda Plummer), his from-afar crush, on her morning commute to work.  Camped out in Grand Central Station, all we see are the throngs of people crowding and pushing their way to their trains.  But when Parry sees Lydia, all that stops.  Or rather, it changes.  The music starts, tasteful glowing light emanates from the ceiling, and all the commuters take partners for a waltz.  It's a ridiculously sublime moment, beautiful in all ways.  It goes on until Parry suddenly loses Lydia in the crowd, and the dancing abruptly stops.
The biggest problem with this film is that there is virtually no scenario, just a succession of shootouts and running. There is hardly any dialogs which would merit to be remembered, the sense of humour seems to have been completely eaten by zombies, most of decisions taken by people (both villains and good guys) doesn't make the slightest sense and let's not even talk about character development...

I like it over the "The Life of Brian" which I had to watch two or three times to get all the jokes. I think the reason is I used to read tales of King Arthur as a child but didn't know much about the bible or Jesus. As for the technical specs of the DVD I would give a three only because of the picture quality and sound isn't so good and has no special features which is common with DVD's now.

5123	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I watched this film again recently and find it remarkable it has held up as well as it has. It seems as though it could have been made last year, so timeless is this film. Robert DeNiro is simply perfect as Travis Bickle and I certainly enjoy the terrific performances by Shepherd, Foster, Keitel, et al. This is my favorite Scorcese film and his work here shows why he has earned his reputation as one of the medium's elite filmmakers, while Paul Schrader's script leaves an indelible mark. I think the film, however, would not be the complete masterpiece it is without Bernard Herrmann's music. The man behind the music of "Citizen Kane" and so many Hitchcock films, including "Psycho," delivers yet another unforgettable musical score that marries so perfectly with its film. The resulting combination of all these facets is a work that really strikes a chord with me. Yes, it is violent and some of it could be seen as shocking or disturbing; yet, for those who identify with its portrayals of alienation and morality, and who find its style engaging, this film represents a pinnacle in cinema. The collector's edition DVD has some documentary material and the transfer is very good. There are also some extraordinarily unusual subtitles choices.

If there was any negative of the film, it's that the real story of Billy Hayes and his life in prison has been changed for the film adaption.

The only redeeming qualities "Resident Evil-Apocalypse" has going for it are CGI effects and stunts.  Nonexistent plot, lousy dialogue (lots of cursing), women running around half or completely naked (while all the men are fully clothed).  Even the zombies were far better done in the recent remake of "Dawn of the Dead".  Milla Jovovich has yet to make an impression on me in any film she has been in.
What is going thru this person's mind? These characters are all fully developed

This movie is way to fake. I couldn't enjoy it because it would never happen. I enjoy action dramas and this is one of the worst ones I've ever seen. If they had decided to make this more a drama and not so much action I might have been able to go along with it. The cast is awesome for the movie and a drama could have worked. The cast and talents are wasted. Why this made so much money I don't know. I guess people are stupid enough to follow the story. Don't waste your time or money on this one.
The inner tension in the airport is perfectly made , the fear , the insane atmosphere in the turkish jails , the language obstacle , the hopeless , the dramatic sense when the Turkish Court gives the veredict in the middle of a bitter political conflict are a true landmark in its style.

I will not give away any details or spoil this flick for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.  Fright Night is really a fun movie and yes it does have some creepy and scary parts to it.  I will also add that the movie has some pretty good special effects, they really aren't that cheesy.  This movie was also made in 1985, which is the zenith of the 1980s, however this movie really doesn't seem dated.  As a matter of fact, it is quite possible this movie is as relative today as it was back in 1985.  The one part of the movie that could be abased for having a 1980s flare is the night club scene.  There is the peachy music, "colorful" outfits and the hair sprayed hair.  Then again, 1980s fashion is somewhat neo in these contemporary times, so it might not seem so dastardly.  Ultimately, this movie isn't overshadowed by the fact that it was made in the 1980s.

While "taxi Driver" is not a movie I'd care to see again anytime soon please don't misconstrue that to mean I didn't think it is not worth seeing, because everyone should see it.  Out of context "Taxi Driver" is hard to sort out and feels more like camp or a send up of the whole 1970s genre of gratuitously violent films.  "Taxi Driver" is far deeper than that as Scorsese forces us to move beyond our Manichean obsessions over the concepts of good and evil.

It was a project very close and personal to him and after the box office success of Jaws (1975), he was able to receive respect and creative freedom in Hollywood and was finally able to make his dream film as his follow up. Released in Novemeber of 1977, Close Encounters may be one of the best examples of Spielberg's great storytelling abilities ans sensibilities. I find this to be one of the most hopeful films I have ever seen.

The visuals are a big step up from the earlier SD edition & the new DTS soundtrack is so sharp & clear that when good ol' Charlie takes out his 1st opponent with a single punch, the bone-cracking SNAP of the punch (accidentally) made my poor cat shoot up off the couch, the poor thing nearly clinging to the ceiling.  Definitely worth trading up for if you own the earlier edition.
Right from the first opening scene with the city smoke and taxi moving through it, the close up eye shots of De Niro then the rain beating down on the taxi's windscreen with the street lights out of focus...topped off I might add with the magnificent Bernard Herrmann soundtrack, it's probably one of the most memorable and perfectly executed openings ever on any motion picture. Of course a sizzling opening does not a good film make, but it does set the "mood" for what is a highly unusual and very graphic film.

"Escape Through Time" is by far the better piece, with Steed and Mrs. Peel trying to find out why several of England's most notorious criminals are being found dead of wounds inflicted by archaic weapons.  Seems someone is selling them the perfect escape  -  an escape into the past.  True time travel?  Or an elaborate get-rich-quick scam?

He was a great man/comedian and I loved watching him.  I felt the film dwelled too much on Tom Hank's character playing around, etc. and I just wanted to see more of Gleason I guess.  Good film though and the ending is heartening.
Were any of you aware that George Romero (like I have to say it...but the creator of Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead) wrote a screen play for the first Resident Evil. I've read it and it rocked, it had characters from the game in it and everything, but noooooOooOo. They had to go Hollywood and use the script that someone puked on and called it a movie. I'm just tired of seeing this crap made when there is a true horror genius out there that no one wants to hear from.

This is FAR FAR from a blu ray. I still own the DVD release and will continue to do so. There is absolutely NO difference between the blu ray and the Columbia DVD both in video and audio. I mean NONE. In fact, the blu ray is darker in tone then is the DVD. The darker tone does not account for a richer deeper picture, it is just dark. The DVD has a much brighter picture and the color at times appears sharper.

The stand-out episode here is 'Honey For The Prince', which is imaginative, funny, and extremely  eccentric (a cricket match breaks out during one scene). There is also the  infamous 'Touch of Brimstone' -- notable for its bawdy content and Diana  Rigg's 'Queen of Sin' costume. Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg's chemistry as  a team was never stronger than in the episodes on this disc (and you get a  bonus seventh episode with this set, instead of the standard six).

9811	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	I gave this 2 stars because I think Dominique Swan is right on - she was the most wonderful Lolita ever - and because as a gal who loves her rock n' rollers I thought this was going to be the greatest movie ever.  But, it failed to impress.  I was the Dominique Swan character, running after my favorite rock band because I was hopelessly in love with the lead singer and would stop at nothing for him.  I've had those nights standing out in the rain or arriving at a show that's canceled because I loved that band so much.  And my determination paid off!  *Patting myself on the back*
This is a superb action movie involving hoods, gangsters and a pretty good depiction of what life was like in Louisiana and New Orleans in the height of "The Great Depression" era of our history. It shows the depravity of how far men would go to make enough money just to eat. Men willing to fight just so their families can eat. Cheney (Bronson) comes into town on a box car and will eventually leave on one, but the script only lets on the only thing about him is he is willing to fight dangerous men to make some money, he likes down and out women (Jill Ireland), and cats. He meets  Spencer "Speed" Weed (James Coburn) -- an addicted gambler who manages Chaney and facilitates Chaney's quick pocket of money by fighting bare knuckle dangerous men.
A very intelligent, funny film.  It is not a slapstick comedy, so don't rent it if you are expecting "Tommy Boy" or "Happy Gilmore". If you like quirky comedies, comedies that make you think, in the vein of "Waiting for Guffman", "Drop Dead Gorgeous", "A Mighty Wind" or "Rushmore", then this is a perfect fit for you; buy it.  If you want a 3 Stooges type comedy, you can look elsewhere; this one is more low key.

Anyway, Bob is the ultimate straight-man.  He's not over the top,  phoney, or selling out his character for a laugh.  His comedy centers on his reaction to others (quirky people & situations) around him.  This show can come across slow, when compared to the hyper shows of today, where everything has to be sexual comedy on the cutting edge and inappropriate for family.  Bob is a class act and never stoops to those tactics.  That's exactly WHY I like it.  Breath of fresh air.

In an OBVIOUSLY pre-9-11 movie, Russian extremists kidnap the US president's plane, Airforce One, and all aboard, and use people as pawns for their political purposes (instead of, say, using the plane to bring down buildings in NY or DC). But they don't reckon on one thing: the Prez is an ex-military special forces guy, and determined to take the terrorists out to the last man. But time is not on his side, and his family and staff are in danger. And there is a traitor among them.

For those of you who have never seen the movie it involves several characters.  A group of scientists are researching strange discoveries that are taking place like a fleet of WWII planes that went missing thirty years prior.  The discoveries are just the beginning as UFO's begin to make appearances all over the world.  Richard Dreyfuss is one of the people who witnesses the UFO activity and from that point his life is changed.  Trying to discover what the meaning of this is.  Of course in the meantime his family and work life are completely disrupted.  Although this is just the beginning of this mysterious journey.
Somehow, I can't help but think, that those viewers who raved  about this movie spend their vacation in the Grand Canyon searching for  conclusive proof that the coyote is still chasing after the Roadrunner.
I say, chuck out those sets (seasons 1-4), and buy this COMPLETE SERIES box set. It's easily worth the price, and the image quality is so much sharper.
  Set in modern day (1976) New York, the story centres around Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro), a 26 year-old ex Vietnam veteran. He is shy, dispossesed and utterly alone. He frequents porn theatres, yet is repulsed by the 'filth' he sees on the streets. Unable to sleep at night, Travis becomes a taxi driver, working long shifts with little or no sleep. Through his nightly experiences as a cab driver, Travis becomes even more bitter and confused. Bernard Herrmann's impecible theme aurates Travis' battle between what he thinks he should stand against and what actually arouses him. In fact, the theme music is perhaps the second most important character in the film, acting as a metaphor for the daily downward spiral of Travis' mental state. In his solitude Travis lets the drudgery and depressive nature of his job burrow inside his mind. He falls for an angelic WASP named Betsy (Cybill Shepherd) and even manages to take her out on a date. But his complete lack of nuance for the real world ends up with any chance of a burgeoning romance left in tatters.
Now of course the actors play it cool, going through the clichd motions, and getting picked off one by one. Milla Jovovich, soon to be seen in A Perfect Getaway, is sort of bland is this movie (although she gets into the grove of her role in Apocalypse and Extinction, giving excellent performances), and doesn't really do much. (Well, aside from doing the Matrix on some wickedly awesome zombie dogs.) Michelle Rodriguez on the other hand seems to always have a dirty look on her face; when she's not shooting zombies, she's busy pouting. All the other actors that had potential die to early in the movie...

9423	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This is my first DVD review. It's about a really funny movie that(supposedly)took place in England 932 A.D. As King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table go on a quest from God to find the holy grail. On the way the run into a Black Knight, taunting Frenchmen, a killer rabbit, a three-headed knight, a castle of lonely women, the Black Beast of Arrgghh, a Bridge of Death and the infamous Knights who say "Ni!"
While there are elements of fantasy and Arthurian legend woven into this story, there is also a theme of Christianity. Originally Jack is driven by a need to regain the former glory of his life when he was a successful talkback radio host. He wants that life back and believes that by helping Parry, he will overcome his guilt, and thus be able to resume his former life. Jack feels a false resolution in his life when he regains his former life. However, ultimately, when Jack agrees to undertake the quest for the Holy Grail, only then do his motives become self-less. He helps Parry because he wants to, not because he needs to drive away his own guilt - this is very much part of the Christian Doctrine.
I have viewed the 2-Disc collector's edition which apparently is a combination of the Director's Cut and the original theatrical version. For a first timer to the film, it made no difference to me. However, as fans of the film have stated, the tampering by Spielberg for this special edition was not appreciated.  He re-edited the original version removing scenes that perhaps gave it its popularity (eg. Dreyfuss entering the mothership).  Spielberg has said he will never re-instate these scenes. Doesn't it annoy you when a Director refuses to let people see a film the way they originally remember?  It's almost a kick in the teeth for helping him make his millions.  Oh well, at least he had the decency to allow the original 'untouched' version of E.T. to be included on the 2002 digitally enhanced version DVD.

If you do decide to purchase this movie, I also highly recommend that you keep your remote control in your hand or very close by.

Thus this film is about the ordinary everyman who dreams of attaining heights of accomplishment but must compete with the best of the best. Add to this drama a love interest played by Uma Thurman, and a murder mystery with an inquisitive detective, played by Alan Arkin. However it is the relationship between Vincent and Jerome Morrow, played by Jude Law, that offers some of the most subtle commentary in the film. Morrow , despite perfection, is an alcoholic who has been crippled in an accident, and now is willing to provide the biomarkers needed for Vincent to engage in the daily activities of the elected super-humans.

6600	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Terrible movie, full of anachronisms; particularly in the dialogue.  While the sets were OK, the writing and acting was just plain bad.

WARE, United Kingdom
I saw this film in the College Town Cinema of Glassboro in 1975 and after thirty nine years, I can safely say that it is indeed a cult classic. It will bust your guts as it is a dynamite of unheard of humour. This group is made up of geniuses. Right from its opening collage of titles in various languages to the arrest of the entire Dark Ages crew by current day bobbies has made this unique in its expression of biting humour. This production comes down hard on English dynasties and reverence of both Protestant and Catholic rituals. The pythons have really put their fangs through the legends of King Arthur with their one-liners and slapstick. The Knights of the Round Table go out in pursuit of the Holy Grail on foot and you will fall off your seat when you hear the sounds of the horses' hooves with lackeys making sound with coconut shells like clippety clop. The plague ridden communities with phrases like `bring out your dead' is extremely hilarious with healthy citizens also being thrown on to the pile of dead bodies. Taunts like `I will fart in your general direction' and `I will wave my private parts at your aunties' are simply mind-blowing additions. The cinematic style is surreal while being outrageously stunning its visuals. The members of the Monty Python Group have to be lauded and acknowledged and they are - John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Graham Chapman and Terry Jones. Jack Trombey has written the fantastic and epic music to this zany masterpiece.
Gen-X Cops is different.  Police Academy this is not.  You get three talented young no-named actors who really kick ass in this film.  Notably Nicholas Tse who plays the character of Jack.  In the featurette included in the DVD, Jackie Chan even gives respect to the man because he also does his own stunts.  There is one scene where he comes out of a swimming pool with gasoline on top of the pool on fire and he emerges out of the pool.  These are just a few scenes that you see Nicholas Tse do.  Pretty boy?  This guy is not afraid to take on risks and this person is definitely a rising star to keep your eye on.
Of course, there are a few extra Monty Pythonisms thrown in, such as amazing Killer Rabbits, Tim the Enchanter (who is Merlinesque, anyway) snubbing Frenchmen and a ridiculous witch burning, but everything is directed to the intelligent viewer who can watch it all and laugh out loud while still respecting the legends and stories the Pythons are making delicious fun of.

The score is a death dirge while De Niro drives the filthy 1970's streets of New York in his cab.  He has to wipe the back seat after each night's fares. The final Agamemnon scene with the pimps is unbelievably realistic, yet, when it is over, the audience is both repelled and elated.  One of the most interesting shots of mayhem I have ever seen.  I think its better than the end of The Wild Bunch.  I think today it is still the most gripping action scenes and set shots.

The writers covered all the major bases on this one. It's a movie I can just sit down, relax and watch over and over again. And really, it's the perfect capper to the whole 80's generation of quality, fun action movies. It's a tribute sealed with a kiss and a hell of a good time. Highly recommend it to those who enjoy 80's movies, those who enjoy well-done parodies, and those who just like to have fun and enjoy the little kid inside themselves.

Harrison Ford plays the U.S. President with fearlessness and cunning. He also demonstrates superb hand-to-hand fighting skills plus superior technical expertise with a gun. He becomes the hero who manages to elude the terrorists when he remains one level below, as they overtake the pilot and copilot. He creates diversions and thwarts their various plans, all the while evading detection. Initially, they are unaware whom they are fighting. Once Ivan Korshunov, the leader, realizes it is the President of the United States who nearly single-handedly prevents them from achieving their goals, the terrorist becomes more vicious. He threatens the wife of the President at gun point and turns on the loudspeaker so the President can listen as she voices her fears. This enrages the President who takes even more serious measures to save their lives: he dumps fuel to force them to stop. The fighting scenes are unparalleled yet eventually Harrison Ford is captured. The capture of the President forces the United States to negotiate with the terrorists, despite their policy against doing so. The terrorists want the release of General Alexander Radek, the former ruler of Kazakhstan ...

They don't really get it because it was too full of the symbols of the time in which the film was shot. It is obviously not a piece of timeless art intended for future generations. It was for that time and it accomplished its goal, which was to wake up a new generation to the possibilities of life. Choices. the music was current and dynamic and added to the power. Unless you are old enough, or have submerged yourself in the period, I would not expect you to enjoy it.

This is Gilliam's second quest-for-the-Holy-Grail picture.  Although off-centre at times, this might be his most cohesive movie, utilizing a fairly standard three-act structure to go along with it's quest theme.  Don't worry, Gilliam fans, the director's trademark esoteric visuals survive intact.  Manhattan is captured as a gorgeous, but dangerously labyrinthine, wonderland.  The screenplay, by Richard LaGravenese, throws in literary and historical allusions, weaving themes and motifs effortlessly throughout.  It saddens me that, except for the marvelous "The Ref", LaGravenese has wasted the considerable talent he shows here, turning out schlock after schlock during the years following this, his initial triumph.

The story evolves around the aristocractic Bellamy family "Upstairs" at 165 Eaton Place, London, and their servants "Downstairs," but it is not a soap opera. It is as genuine, real and honest as any period production, or for that matter, any production, that I have ever seen.
If you have not seen this film, YOU MUST.  It's a comedy gem and a classic.  Look past the hype, the conventions, etc. and enjoy the film.  It's still a 5-star classic that shouldn't be ignored.  Nooooow!  GO!
6691	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	"The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc" is nothing more than a by-the-numbers film created with liberal use of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Directing the Medeival Epic." I have been vastly entertained by director Luc Besson's work in the past, but this film is a plodding, gore-drenched nod toward Mel Gibson's vastly superior "Braveheart." "The Messenger" completely lacks all of the finer emotions that make an epic story compelling, despite the true nature of the people and some of the events. "The Messenger" also revels in its violence and grit, rather than trying to create something realistic (and more convincing). Milla Jovovich turns in an annoying performance as the shrieking saint, who does not inspire her troops so much as berate them in her holier-than-thou manner. The film's topics are interesting (was Joan really a saint who could speak to God, or was she just insane and driven by rage?), but the execution is poor. On top of this, the scripting and dialogue is just plain bad. If you want an epic, I suggest looking elsewhere. Maybe somebody out there will make a better picture about this fascinating historic figure.

9440	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	The best Monty Python movie out there, this isn't just a great parody of  the Arthur's Holy Grail odyssey, but it's also a rapid fire of killerjokes.  I don't honestly think there is a minute you don't find yourself laughing  with this. Now, even though someone writes as funny script than this, he  will still have a very difficult time making it as funny as this, because  the Monty Python gang members were arguably the six funniest lads in  England that time (probably in the whole world, because the Yankees were  laughing at turkies like "Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo" oh  mother!!!). especially Eric Idle and John Cleese give a breathtakingly  funny performances. So, whatever anyone says, this is still the best movie  about the theme. Gosh, why do everyone keep laughing at 70's? (It's the  clothes, moron!)

Before attempting to play along, you should already know all the major scale modes and the melodic minor scale.  Your alternate picking should already be very controlled/synchronized and you should be experienced with string skipping.  It also contains some extreme finger stretches/intervals that a lot of people might never be able to do (a shorter scale neck or extraordinary long fingers will come in handy here).
What's more, Scorsese's triumph is getting the viewer to actually identify and sympathise with Travis, with his sense of isolation from society, with his obsession over Cybill Shepherd, his taking the young prositute, Iris (played with uncanny spunk by a young Jodie Foster) under his wing, and his unflagging mania for vengeance against "the scum, the dogs, the filth."  As he pads anonymously up and down Broadway, as he drives his taxi on rainswept streets in the wee hours of the morning, and as he sits alone in his apartment, pouring peach brandy over his Wheaties, we the viewers are along on his lonely ride and journey into fear.

Zombie purists were concerned when original director, and zombie Grand-Master, George Romero turned the reins over to Paul Anderson, who had a choppy directorial resume: he had previously helmed the lackluster "Soldier" and the grisly if silly space-opera gruefest "Event Horizon". They need not have fretted; from the opening credits to the apocalytpic coda, Anderson proves a master stylist, working with cinematographer Dave Johnson (who worked with Anderson on "Alien versus Predator") to deliver ample zombie-chewing fun with a tight editing technique that serves up the carnage with a mix of brutality and flair.
Another thing that makes this film good for children is that most of the footage is taken from the simply (but also beautifully) written "Good News Bible."

Easy Rider represents the feeling of its time about counterculture and the anti-establishment movement. It also reflects the emotions and spirit of its time.

At centerstage is Milla Jovovich. This woman was never a great actress. In fact, I knew her more through her musical work (check out her solo album from 1994 "The Divine Comedy") than her movie roles. But despite her current success with the Resident Evil series, its obvious that Milla gave this film her all - lending her role with such an aura of vulnerability and authenticity that she virtually becomes Jean through the course of the film.

This movie breaks the mold of survival horror movies. The usual formula places a group of characters together and kills them off one at a time over the course of the movie. In Resident Evil: Apocalypse, the story progression is much more open ended. We follow the stories of several different groups of characters in different parts of a city sealed off from the outside world to contain the outbreak of a virus. While many characters do die, in this case, it is happpening to unique groups of people all making their own way to survive in a city over-run by zombies. Their storylines eventually converge of course, but the storyboarding developed to bring about this connection is stellar. As icing on the cake, all of these characters feel excellently cast and developed.

It's a great concept: young Austin O'Brien (as Danny Madigan) steps into a movie and then he and other fictional characters cross back into the real world. That L.A. police station on the other side of the screen is great. We also get a holographic glimpse here of Arnold's Terminator foe in cop drag, and Danny DeVito provides the voice of 'Whiskers,' a cartoon cat detective. Also here, Austin/Danny I.D.s a confused F. Murray Abraham as Mozart's killer (remember&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/AMADEUS/dp/B00006DEFA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">AMADEUS</a>?).
The soundtrack is beautiful; the instrumentals totally capture the heart and soul of the characters, and a bit of the south as well.
Ethan Hawke, Jude Law and Uma Thurman gave everything they could in this movie and the result is impressive. Four other actors seconded them impressively well: Gore Vidal (yes, the writer Gore Vidal, in one of his very unfrequent appearances on the silver screen), Ernest Borgnine, one of the few survivors of Golden Age of Hollywood who is still standing, Loren Dean (an actor who for the moment didn't really make a great career, which I find a pity after watching this movie) and finally Alan Arkin, who long time ago played Yossarian in "Catch 22" and who returns here (I am CERTAIN it was made on purpose) as a REALLY smart and tenacious cop.

 While filming Christmas scenes in 100 degree weather in the summer of 1988, Dolly was sitting on the sidelines quietly waiting for her call from the director. Totally made up in heavy sweater and a wig, Dolly was approached by Julia Roberts who, with the exception of Dolly, was complaining about the heat. She said to Dolly, "how can you just sit there and not complain about the heat?", to which Dolly stated, "when I was a little girl I wanted to be two things, rich and famous, and now that I'm both of those things I'm not gonna complain". Julia was speechless! Another good quote from Dolly too was when the director, Herbert Ross, told her she couldn't act. Dolly exclaimed, "Shoot I know I can't act. You didn't hire me so I could act. You hired me because I'm a personality. I'm Dolly Parton. So if your any kind of director you'll make it look like I'm acting!".

The special effects were really good for this movie. The licker and the dogs were really impressive. The action is also very entertaining. When the action is happening, I find myself not being able to turn away, it is very fast paced. I also really enjoyed the scene when the security lasers were slicing up the team. The Red Queen was an interesing villain as well, maybe even more so than the licker. Overall, this movie is way worth seeing and having if you are a fan or even if you aren't a fan of the games.

There is a thread of wry humor running throughout the series.  I suspect the deep love and affection between man and wife has never been more realistically portrayed on TV in my opinion than when Rumpole's relationship with She Who Must Be Obeyed, Hilda Rumpole steps in scene.  I lovef that Hilda was not a gushing fool or empty headed.  Hilda was a strong often severe woman who dearly loved and supported her husband Horrace Rumpole but was clever enough to never let him take her love for granted.  Hilda was one smart sista who could have been a great barister in her own right but she opted to be the power behind a great man and that she was and more.
There is only one actress in Hollywood who can make Julia Roberts look like she can act, and that is the detestable Susan Sarandon. While Sarandon has been nausea-inducing in a number of roles, this one goes above and beyond the call of duty. Sarandon's character, Jackie Harrison, is the ex-wife of hapless Luke (Ed Harris, showing once and for all that no matter how good an actor you are, if the script makes you look like an idiot, you will look like an idiot). She can't stand Luke's new girlfriend, Isabel (Roberts), and for that matter can't seem to stand much of anyone, including her own kids. Jackie is as loathsome a creature as the average viewer, and most non-average viewers, will ever want to meet. Were she male, she'd be on the Lifetime Movie network in a wifebeater T-shirt, throwing beer cans at the football game and smacking the kids around, and everyone would hate her. But she's female, and she's in a Chris Columbus movie, and so we're supposed to sympathize. (Oh, and to make sure we do, not far into the film she's diagnosed with cancer. Because that's an excuse to be [a jerk].)

It seems every actor in it became either a major film or tv star in the years after it was made 25 years ago. Robert DeNiro is at his finest as Travis Bickel, a New York taxi driver, who slips further and further into a breakdown state. He can't sleep so drives his cab all night long. He runs into an amazing cast of characters on the city's streets including Jodie Foster, a teenage prostitute who has Harvey Keitel as her pimp; Cybill Shepard as the idealized woman he wants to court (his idea of a date is taking her to a porno movie!); Albert Brooks as a political worker; Peter Boyle as a fellow cabbie; director Martin Scorsese in a cameo role as an obsessed husband watching his wife carry on an affair from the back of Travis's cab.  The soundtrack I've had for years too as it is the most gorgeous saxophone accompaniment.  Perhaps the most perfect aspect that struck me this time though was the writing.  Paul Schaefer's screenplay was dead on.  He grabbed ahold of Travis Bickel's paranoid, alienated world and delivered it dead-on to us.

I saw this movie back in June of 1982.  It was made to be viewed in a theater.  On a TV screen, it tends to look a bit overcrowded.  I can't recall ever seeing a more active musical with literally a cast of thousands.  And with the startling use of depth of field, you have way too much to look at in some of the more expansive sequences.  The two stars (Finney & Quinn) are practically lost in the opulent circus/party scene with all the lights, a b-zillion people, a fountain, acrobats, fireworks, and an elephant!  There is such a thing as too much.  As for the music, a lot of my favorite songs were cut and replaced by lesser efforts.  I've always thought the casting of Carol Burnett as Miss Hannigan was a bit strange.  Albert Finney (Warbucks) was loud, Ann Reinking (Grace Farrell) perfect, Edward Herrmann dead on as Franklin D. Roosevelt.  And then there's the redoubtable Geoffrey Holder as Punjab, also perfect.  The biggest surprise for me was finding out that Shawnee Smith (The Blob, Becker, and Saw) was one of the orphans!  As musicals go, this one is a sentimental favorite.  Supposedly, there is a remake in the works.
But, imo, and inventive reinterpretation/update of the classic tale.
The acting is excellent.  The three younger principals-William Ragsdale as Charley, Amanda Bearse as Amy, and Stephen Geoffreys as Evil Ed-all deliver their roles with an honesty few young actors can achieve, and they are therefore quite convincing as teenagers facing a horrific situation.  But it is Chris Sarandon and Roddy McDowall that truly carry the film.  As the vampire neighbor Jerry Dandrige, Sarandon is at times flippant and at other times downright terrifying.  He knows just when to play it straight and when to be a ham, and he never misses a beat.  And veteran thespian Roddy McDowall is perfectly cast as ersatz vampire hunter Peter Vincent.  He handles his character's shift from Shakespearean bravado to whimpering cowardice (and back!) so deftly that his performance is nothing less than a sheer joy to watch.

It has been so meticulously remastered that it looks like it came out last year.  It was like seeing it for the first time, every detail from the knick-knacks in the Neary home to the detailing on the alien craft are rendered beautifully.  Each film has 2 lossless sound options, which is almost unheard of.  A DTS-HD MA and a Dolby True HD 5.1.  I prefer the DTS, but both are very powerful.  Not only does it feature house-rattling bass, but ambient and directional effects are exhilarating.  Dialogue reproduction is crisp and spot on.  Simply put, it will never look or sound this good again.  It was restored from the original source.  This was the first of Spielberg's oeuvre to be released and the follow-up have not been disappointing.  "Minority Report" is a revelation, "War of the Worlds" and Saving Private Ryan" ...all of these are demo-worthy, reference grade transfers.

Without exaggeration, I seriously cannot recommend this DVD any higher. It's not humanly possible. Whether you're a devoted, lifelong Python fan or merely someone with a passing interest in comedy in general, this is a worthwhile purchase. You won't find a better transfer of the film in your life, the list of features is almost overwhelming, the original team is represented nearly in full, through dual commentary tracks and several featurettes, and it's very affordable at the same time. Go out and buy this now, before you forget.

From "MASH" to "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," "Network," "Nashville," "Days of Heaven" and especially "Taxi Driver," the 1976 Martin Scorsese-directed grungy, street-level study of alienation.  Robert De Niro, memorable as the young Don Corleone in the second "Godfather" movie, brings us into the closing decades of the 20th century as Travis Bickle, the obscure and troubled cabbie.  This remains one of his signature portrayals.

Dandridge, upon meeting Amy, sees her unearthly resemblance to a woman he once loved.  He is immediately infatuated with the young girl.
I must warn anyone who wants to watch this movie the it contains more bad language that any I have ever seen (like Pulp Fiction, Scarface, or even South Park) but the profanity only hightens the dread at times. It also looks at life in a very dark way. This is not a happy movie by any means and Oldman has produced a real masterpiece. This has great acting and real good timing between the actors. This is quite simply one of the best movies I have ever seen.
Admittedly, the movie jumps in unexpectedly directions. It is easy to lose interest during some of the middle musical sequences. However, there are so many interesting and comic sequences that the entire movie will paint a long term smile on your face each time you see it. I have seen it at least seven times and each time I knew new things.


In addition to the three editions of the movies, there is also a new "30 Years" documentary looking back over time at how CE has been a favorite movie that has stood the test of time. Also, the making-of documentary that was on the original Director's Edition that came out a few years ago has been split across the three DVDs. Also included is the 1977 making of documentary which was also on the previously released Director's Cut DVD.

Even though in my opinion this is the funniest movie ever made, I didn't give it 5 stars because as with most movies, it is not perfect. It falters in the last half hour and the ending leaves something to be desired. If you already know Python and don't like them, this movie won't change your mind. If you don't know them, this is the perfect place to start and if you're already a fan you didn't need to read this review because you've already seen the movie a hundred times.

The soundtrack and hairstyles in this movie will take you deep into the 1980s! This is a combat motion picture that is palatable to a wider audience as it doesn't contain excessive violence.
Blu-ray Video Quality - This 40th Anniversary Blu-Ray release of `Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town' features a full 1080p High Definition presentation utilising the 1.33:1 [4:3] Standard Aspect Ratio in which it was originally broadcast. The video presentation looks pretty outstanding for a TV special especially for its age and all of the colours and detail look spot on, easily the best this classic family TV special event has ever been presented. Fans of this TV special should be thrilled with this high definition video presentation and the newcomers to it couldn't possibly find a better way to experience it for the first time. Because it was original made for North America Television, you can see where the adverts were inserted, because you see it fade out, with such a Classic Christmas Special transferred to the Blu-ray format, you think they could of made and effort to edit it in a much more professional way and got hold of the original master tape? I suspect when people viewed this on the DVD format, you would not see the black strings holding up the puppets. But now seeing it in the video resolution of 1080p, you can see very clearly the black string, still after a while you forget seeing this anomaly.

And the extras are outstanding -- down to the nostalgic documentary with Terry Jones and Michael Palin as they retrace their steps to the Scottish locations where they made film history 30 years ago.

Steven Spielberg's film has defied dating.  Although the time and place are the same, the messages are universal and do not grow less with age.  And Richard Dreyfuss as Roy Neary, American Everyman, hasn't been better before or since, in my opinion.  Plus, the film boasts the legendary Francois Truffaut.  The special effects, amazing for the day, continue to jawdrop.

This film presents a more human approach to her story, and whether it is historically truthful is beside the point.  After all, this is a Hollywood film, not a documentary.  And as a Hollywood film, it works very well for me.  The look of the movie is stunning, and that alone should make it worth, at the very least, a one-time rental.

As the final credits rolled, I found myself asking one thing many times: what in the world was (fill in the actor, director, etc.) thinking? Besson, who gave us such amusing and occasionally brilliant fare as Leon and Nikita, went way off the deep end. Milla Jovovich, who worked so well with Besson in The Fifth Element, delivers every line as if she's being forced to overact. John Malkovich is about as French as a quesadilla. Etc.

The series explores the lives of the upper-class Bellamy's (upstairs) and their servants (downstairs), and some of the themes covered during the show is the difference between the upper and lower classes, societal changes, the suffragette movement, marital strife, relationship problems, and the plight of the poor, among others.

Look at the people who strive for perfection in our world today.  Don't they seem a little strange and different from so called normal human behavior? We have those in our society now who try to get certain DNA donors with high potentials of being a superior human child in their families.

Soon, the bodies - killed in a very inhuman way - start to pile up and the history begins to replay itself.
Roy Neery is a blue-collar family man who, while on the job, has a strange encounter with a craft with bright lights in the sky. The experience ends up changing him and pretty soon he becomes obsessed with it and one particular image which causes much trouble with his wife and kids. Elsewhere, a frenchman named Mr. Lacombe and his interpreter Laughlin are finding strange things around the world such as planes and ships in the desert and a curious 5 note melody. All of this ends up tying together in the end as everyone discovers something life changing.

2012	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I had this in VHS, so I wanted it on DVD.
Plenty of gamers complained that the first film strayed too far from the video game, and here's APOCALYPSE attempting to atone. Consequently, game characters Jill Valentine (Guillory), Carlos Olivera (Fehr), and Nicholai Ginovaef are introduced, and the hulking Nemesis program is the featured Big Bad. The character of Alice was, of course, originally invented for the film franchise. The lickers are back, as are the gore hounds. Plenty for our good guys to shoot to bits. And, as ever, no dearth of the shambling undead, including a pack of flesh-eating school children.
Aside from that, the plot, the setting, the special effects, and the battles are all very good!  The film does a GREAT job of establishing a cliffhanger for a sequel, which I would definitely line up to watch!

There is a short nudity scene as well as a fantastic shot of Jessica Alba's butt in nothing but panties (according to the commentary she didn't want her butt to be in the shot). There are a few embarrassingly lame scenes that should have hit the cutting room floor. "Go go buffalo" was one of the dumbest but even with a few boners the movie is still a good waste of time. Definitely a good addition to your collection.
Nope, it's not Citizen Kane, but then sometimes that's a good thing. It was directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, who always brings a certain integrity to all his work, and at the least this is a carefully crafted movie.

This film is perhaps one of the best independent films I have ever seen.  Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson (who co-wrote with Owen W. and directed the film) paired on several films of less-than-popular stature.  All of them are quirky at worst and extremely entertaining at best.  As a note, I would recommend all of them as spectacular, with slight hesitation on "The Royal Tannenbaums".

BEHIND THE SCENES:Rankin/Bass studios was the most prolific creators of holiday specials we have ever known. After the huge success of their 1964 stop motion musical Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, they created no less than 14 more Christmas specials, from a total of 35 specials of which many covered other holidays. In 1970 audiences were eager to see what the clever studio would come up with next, their last picture had been Frosty the Snowman the year before in traditional cel animation. As much as viewers enjoyed Frosty, they really liked the stop motion "Animagic" that was the specialty of the studio. The only TV specials they made this process so far were Rudolph, and The Little Drummer Boy. The new show aired on ABC on December 14, 1970 and it was in Animagic! It was a one hour special, and it recieved huge ratings. It still airs every year.
6744	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	I bought this in the vague hope of stumbling on one more underpublicized and underappreciated (in the US) French masterpiece such as Claude Berri's  Queen Margot.  Not quite!  There are certainly aspects of brilliance here  both in the cinematography and Mila Jovovich's performance, but there is a  tremendous amount of anarchy and occasional apparent aimlessness in the  plot.  Of course the Joan of Arc story is well known, but many times, the  director seemed to let things ramble on without good tie ins.  It's a long  film, but that shouldn't be a vice.  Here it is, because long portions  could be cut without harming the overall effect.  Better yet, the themes  could have been better established and linked and the character development  focused better.  Apart from the title character, everyone else was pretty  much constructed of cardboard.

I remember enjoying my reaction to this as an undergraduate, the way that it kind of freaked me out, which is a substitute for experience in the young.  This time around, while I recognize its significance, fine acting, and relentless realism, I half wondered why I was putting myself through it.

If you want to see great versions. I  highly rate the 1944 movie with Orson Wells though it is another abreviatd version, that movie truly captured the spirit and feel. It is moody dark and mysterious. Another is the fantastic Timothy Dalton version which is most accurate to the book of all the movies taking actual lines right from the  Brontes story.  Dalton's and Clarkes acting is simply superbly sublime!

What we get in this portrayal of Joan of Arc is some pretty visuals and a find performance from Dustin Hoffman. Try renting one of Luc Besson's earlier films and pick up anything from Hoffman's hey day in the 70's, they will be worth your dollar and your time far more than anything thing to be found here.

8870	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Hard Times is a great movie that for whatever reason has never got as much attention as other Charles Bronson and James Coburn movies.  The movie tells the story of a strong, silent street figther, Chaney, who travels to New Orleans in 1933 during the midst of the Great Depression to make some money doing what he does best, "knocking people down."  Chaney teams up with boxing promoter and street hustler Speed Weed.  Immediately, Chaney destroys anyone he goes up against.  As Chaney's reputation continues to rise, Speed has money problems that begin to cause more problems than Chaney ever anticipated.  The street fights in this movie are brutal, vicious, knock down fights that are beautiful and horrifying at the same time.  Unlike many action movies, Hard Times does not rely solely on the action.  There is a well-told story with characters that we come to care and learn a lot about by the end of the movie. Just a great movie overall.

The killer bunny, the virgins, the weird prince who wants to sing, the lack of horses for the knights, the Knights who once said Ni.  The movie is full of extras and so is are the DVDs.  Legos, sing-alongs, on-screen screenplay, commentaries full of back-stabbing, complaints and whining by the crew of Month Python.  Looking for a message?  Well, there may be a few, but mostly it was meant to be funny, the kind of funny that burns into your brain and slowly burns its way out, till you laugh aloud on the bus, or at the wedding, or when they are trying to pull a tooth.  The kind of funny that hits you right when you're trying to chew that very hard piece of beef that you think MAY be bone, but you don't wish to spit it out, because that would be bad manners.

There is a parade in the next town. Do they have a permit? They meet a local character in the jail. Will he go to the Mardi Gras? Is there another society that is highly evolved? Is this just pretentious babbling to pad out the movie? They stop at a small town. People make comments, and they leave. Will somebody come after them? They arrive at that house of blue light. Then they go to the Mardi Gras to see even stranger sights. We see a New Orleans cemetery (people are buried in vaults). The picture drags on as they pass around a bottle. The scenes suggest intoxication. They leave the next morning. "We blew it." Then there is an end to their journey due to an accidental meeting with a pick-up truck.

In the near future Eugenics is now a scientific fact and only perfected humans are born and elevated to an elite status while natural born humans are treated like second rate citizens. A less than perfect born man (Hawke) cons his way into the upper elite by using a crippled elitist' (Law) identity. Although his mind is up to the challenge, his body continually falls short.

457	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	As most movies, this story takes a little liberty with Bible history; the way the story is laid out, it brings reality to the likely interaction between Joseph, his family and those he met in Egypt.  A warning to parents - the DVD has scenes you may not have seen in the tv version (a couple of them gratuitous-a scene showing nudity in the pool of his wife and children and the hanging of the baker); the scene with Joseph and Potiphar's wife does a great job of showing just how difficult it must have been for Joseph to stand firm in his principles (would be a little mature for young audiences).
Some of the subject matter in this film makes it unsuitable for young members of the family.  (...)  However, I think this excellent film should be suitable for older children and all other family members.
First and foremost was the daunting burden of having to listen to that droning music for two hours. I don't care if the point was to task us with the mind set of Bickle or not that was just atrocious! It was the musical equivalent to having a pebble stuck in your shoe as you walk: it's there nagging you about how crappy it is and you can't get rid of it and it does nothing other than be crappy and annoying. Completely ruined the movie for me. Now according to the composer it was a reflection of the main character's thoughts and mind set. Well there is an evolution of thought so why did the music remain static? I don't care about the great movies Herrmann had done before,  he did an awful job. It lacked creativity to me. I know the guy is in a cab all night long,  alone, night after night, so what? Is that worthy of any music that would reflect it? How about music that hints at the tedium without being tedious? I understand that Scorsese could have perhaps chosen other songs, I don't really care, just a mess in my opinion.
Speed is impressed.  With Chaney, his luck has changed for the better.  As brilliantly portrayed by James Coburn, Speed can be a pain in the behind.  He's loud, he can be irritatingly smooth.  He the kind of guy driving an expensive car, wearing a Rolex, diamonds and a silk suit with a smile that shows everyone of his 88 teeth.

All great episodes of the series at it's peak.

Perry it would have been amazing but they decided to go original. its still a great movie but i just wish it was based on the novelization done for the first game! the thing i was very happy with was the ending. its not sad but its not good. its got the perfecvt lead off to a sequel. i only hope its based off of either resident evil 2 or resident evil 3: nemesis. if so, its gonna rock!
Running Time: 121 minutes


Music plays a big part in the movie and helps to establish the 60s feel. Be ready for Hendrix, Steppenwolf, The Byrds, The Band, Roger McGuinn, and many other performers from the era. The other star is the American scenery. The mountain locations are particularly spectacular.

Leonard Maltin said it, "not  boring, just stupid."  No kidding.  The DVD would make a good  frisbee...
The casting is amazing all around.  Harvey Keitel is right in his element, with a terrific performance as Sport, aka "the pimp".  Peter Boyle is great as the so-called "Wizard", Albert Brooks adds some lighthearted humor to the proceedings where appropriate, and the wonderful Cybill Shepherd is as mesmerizing as ever.  Even Martin Scorsese is absolutely brilliant filling in a bit part as a homicidal passenger in Travis' cab.
Chaney is just trying to "fill in the in-betweens," as he cryptically puts it.  As with so many others, he's looking for a way to get by until the world offers some sort of purpose, something better than hungry hopelessness.  Something better than wage labor shucking oysters for too little to live on, surrounded by the sort of stench that hits you hard the first time you walk into an old oyster bar, only worse.  The sort of foulness that gets into your clothes, your hair, your skin, so deep you eventually stop trying to wash it away.

I am proud to say that I have inspired hundreds of people to watch this movie, and they have done the same. I know of groups that have "Grail Quests" every year, because of this Classic. If you haven't seen it yet, you are missing the boat....but, you can find it if you purchase "Erik The Viking!" (another humorous Python escapade, with religio-philosophical overtones). All Monty Python is Fabulous!!! John Cleese should be Prime Minister, or....King ! Imagine The Royal Court! I'd love to see live coverage of all his meetings with other World Leaders.
5541	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Released in '85 `Fright Night' is a wonderfully campy, contemporary vampire tale that was one of the first films to bring the vampire mythos into contemporary times, preceding the classic `The Lost Boys' by two years. `Fright Night' is a bit uneven in the beginning but during the last thirty minutes or so the storyline really comes together and make it all worthwhile. Chris Sarandon makes a great vampire as is Roddy McDowall as Peter Vincent, late night host of Fright Night, a weekly television show where he masquerades as a fearless vampire hunter.
4616	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Most have never even heard of this movie, which is a true shame, for The Seventh Sign is a nice little look at what will happen, or might happen, when the seven signs of the apocalypse come to pass. Demi Moore plays Abby  Quinn, a woman in the last month of her pregnancy who meets a man intent on  renting the apartment above the Quinn's garage. This man is seen earlier in  the film walking among different places, cracking seals that unleash ruin  on the lands and seas. Abby, after much deliberation, begins to discover  that her tenant is not what she originally saw him to be, and suspects that  he may want to bring harm to her unborn child. She dreams of a man being  struck, and a soldier yelling, "Will you die for him?" This movie  definitely has a factor of suspense which is evident throughout most of the  picture, and the conveyance of each of the seven signs is very haunting and  original. Acting is an added plus, especially in the most tense of  situations. Do not be mistaken by its low-key status; The Seventh Sign will  have you on the edge of your seat, hungry for answers.
6780	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	Never have I been so disappointed by a movie. Joan of Arc - France's patron saint - a real-life person, portrayed like a super hero.  It might have worked better if they'd added the cartoon 'Sock' , 'Bam', and 'Pow'  during fight scenes.  All I can tell you is AFTER seeing this, I happened  to catch "The Passion of Joan of Arc" on Turner Classic Movies,  and thought it was a contemporary film.  I was shocked to learn the film  was done in 1928!  So my advice is to leave this 'glam trash Fishtar'  version on the shelf, and buy the REAL DEAL instead -  "The Passion of  Joan of Arc" (1928). .

The UFO experts themselves in the movie didn't know what to expect to happen at the site any more than did Neary.  Perhaps they knew less; the movie depicts some commercial airline pilots as seeing what Neary and Jillian saw early on, but the pilots decided not to report it (perhaps so as to not risk being labeled nuts and losing their jobs).  The cover up, fittingly, is not presented as invented for the sake of permanently deceiving the world--or involving the UN, the Man from UNCLE, or even the entire US government--and it was not Lacombe's idea at all.  An American UFO expert, who also comments near the end that 'Einstein was right' (a colleague jokingly responding that 'Einstein was probably one of them,' i.e., among those who took a ride on the mothership, thus having had personal experience confirming his prediction of time dilation), was the top official at the press conference, where he told spectators along with Neary, 'I don't know what you saw.'  He obviously knew more than other officials present at the conference yet there is also no reason to believe he was not sincere in his comments.  He was presented simply as discrete, diplomatic, scientifically skeptical; not as conspiratorial.  Perhaps this *could* date the film if: (1) it cannot be fully appreciated if enjoyed as science fiction and/or (2) it's narrative tacitly relies upon audiences, if only by drawing upon Orwell, to imagine many extra layers of 'cover up' and/or (3) historians of science have determined that the direct experimental confirmation of time dilation for space travel had come way before GPS.  No way did the mothership pass unnoticed; Major Walsh simply did *not* evacuate a big enough area.
6648	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I found this movie EXCELLENT!  I cannot comment on the historical religious facts - however, I was moved by Joan of Arc's passion to pursue her vision(s) from God to reclaim the Kings crown to France (From England).
2834	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	chick flick that I almost walked away from, but I'm glad I didn't.  Turned out to be a really funny movie and very moving at times.  Shirley McLaine was a hoot!
9390	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Wow this must be the funniest movie ever! Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a story of a quest yes a quest I say to find the grail with many many adventures along the way. The knights of the round table are sent by god to find this holy grail. They face the black knights, the knights who say NEE, rude frenchmen, Bill, an evil bunny, a monster, police, an old man, girls of peril, the three headed knight, townspeople, harsh weather conditions, a girl I mean man in need of help, wedding guests. The Monty Python team is back to its old tricks for some great acting in a movie that will be talked about for years to come. This is a must buy for anyone who has a DVD player.

5457	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Charley Brewster has a problem... It seems his neighbor may be a vampire, so he has enlisted the help of his friends and local celebrity Peter Vincent to oust the fanged fiend from the neighborhood, but his toothy adversary won't be going without a fight. "Welcome to Fright Night!" Tom Holland brings us his own hilarious homage to the traditions of Gothic Horror in the 1985 classic. The clever plays on genre conventions are pleasing to any Horror fan, as Holland exploits the vampire mythos for maximum effect. Cloves of garlic, crosses, holy water... All of the standard rules still apply, but it is how Holland uses them that casts such a sharp reflection on the Universal and Hammer films. FRIGHT NIGHT is filled with wonderful performances from the entire cast, beginning with William Ragsdale in a coy lead as the paranoid Charley Brewster. Roddy McDowall's campy portrait of Peter Vincent, vampire hunter, is a wonderful caricature of the characters played by both Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. The homage to DRACULA in which McDowall discovers that Jerry is truly a vampire is a shining moment in the film. Stephen Geoffreys is just as amusing as Charley's eccentric friend, "Evil" Ed Thompson, whose shrill, nasally voice and wicked sense of humor have made him a fan favorite for years. And then, of course, there is Chris Sarandon as the vampire Jerry Dandridge. Sarandon brings all of the same suave sophistication and courtly manner as his Gothic counterparts, yet he never feels out of place amidst the modern setting. The film's wit is only matched by its incredible special effects, which give a horrifying new look to its vampire hosts. With the help of NEAR DARK and THE LOST BOYS, FRIGHT NIGHT helped to reinvigorate the vampire film in the 1980's, and it has since endured to reach a cult status in Horror.
Historically accurate, full of British sentiment, and down-right weird. Avoid this film today, folks!
On Disc One, there are two commentaries included.  One is by the co-directors, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam.  The other is by the other 3 (surviving) Python members, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, and John Cleese.  Also on Disc One are some oddities such as subtitles from "Henry IV, Part II."

7342	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	One of my favorite all time movies!  Brings out every family related emotion experienced by most.
Spielberg's film was obviously a radical shift from most previous Hollywood depictions about outer space visitations to Earth.  He evokes the famous line "Watch The Skies" from Howard Hawks' 1951 classic THE THING, but does so without the paranoia and hysteria of the space invasion films of the 1950s.  There are no lasers or bug-eyed monsters.

Well you get the idea.
9125	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	What can I say about this movie that hasn't been said.  It's got to be one of the funniest of all time.  I love most British/English comedy, and this is near the tops.
The story is very simple, a ordinary family man sees a UFO and is planted a message. He then tries to put the pieces together and find what the message means. His wife and kids feel that he is losing his mind as he tries to figure out what his purpose is and why he was chosen. He senses that there is a location that is very important although he doesn't know why, he just knows that it means something. His family eventually leaves him and he is left to find the answer himself. He later discovers that a women he met earlier in the film received the same message and together they try to find the location and discover its purpose. It doesn't come easily though, it's a magical journey that ends with people learning to communicate and return to their inner child. You have to watch the film to understand what I mean.

4158	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I remember when I was a kid and this came out the same summer as Jurassiac Park which was a massive box office hit while this was considered a flop at the time. It's really to bad because it captures the action crazed movies of the eighties and early nineties so well. Some great moments and set pieces and I am huge Schwarzenegger fan so in my books he can do no wrong. The only one issue is the main character of the kid can get pretty annoying at times. That being said this is a forgotten action masterpiece.
Briefly - "Taxi Driver" is the story of Travis Bickle, an ex-Marine turned NYC cab driver; a young man who "means well" but is a macho character with s*** for brains (kind of like the creators of this movie, I'm sorry to say). Anyone who hasn't sense enough not to take a woman to a smutty movie loses my interest and sympathy pretty quickly. Bickle is his own worst enemy; he doesn't have the patience or wherewithal to apply himself to get educated, etc. to make life better for himself and others. He just wants life to improve, NOW! OK, sure. So he instigates some bloodshed and death, and somehow sometime winds up a sort-of hero. HUH?
1523	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	I found this interpretation of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre good. One need only view various interpretations, such as the 1944 Orson Welles film, starring both himself and Joan Fontaine, to appreciate this 1997 version. Twentieth Century Fox's wartime genre encapsulates the studio art department with very poorly executed visuals in the 1944 film. One knows without doubt that this was made in Hollywood.

To enjoy the movie (any movie like that) you have to focus on other elements that make a movie, which mainly would be the "how is the story told", and I think the way this story is told is worth 2 stars. Esp. since the movie is not trying to be funny or too entertaining (which I really hate about horror movies).

BBC Film Night, Monty Python and the Holy Grail Location Report, 17:10. Alternate shots of the knights approaching castles on horseback, Terry Gilliam young and jubilant. John Cleese commenting on the directing. The jokes tend to be secondary to whether it looks good. Smoke in all shots, arty visual effects. How many laughs are there in the smoke? Flying cow. Eric Idle with fuzzy hair. A grail is a bird like a dodo with a very large beak, the grail is never found, its anticlimactic from the start Reading dialogue backwards Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Island, Chrysalis, Charisma, and Michael White the theater producer backed the film. The French taunters stand-in with non-French accents for the sake of filming (reading from script). Interviewer asks Graham Chapman how many poofters are there in it? Only one that Ive detected, but were not made for each other. Had trouble keeping track of who plays what, and whos left over. Scene of stage hands behind the fake castle wall throwing animals.

This movie is really a parody of two things.  First, it is a parody of the Middle Ages in England.  Second, it is a parody of our modern presuppositions of that time.  It is because the door of parody swings both ways in this film that it is able to be so incredibly funny.  Parody is funny because there is an element of truth involved.  Here, there are two truths, thus the film is twice as funny: there is the truth concerning the Middle Ages, and there's the truth concerning our impressions of the Middle Ages.  By cracking fun at both of these sources of truth, the Monty Python comedy group was able to produce solid parody that is smart, witty, and and in some ways convicting.  Overall, the film is very enjoyable and fun to watch and re-watch.

The sets are very good, creating a futuristic sense but not too futuristic as to alienate viewers.  As well, the background music adds to each scene.



There is also a "Sing Along Blu-ray Exclusive", which I didn't look at, and a trailer for "Arthur Saves Christmas".
One of the worst and unexcused errors is when Washington asks after the battle: "how many killed?" "None" (correct). "How many wounded?"  "none". Incorrect. There were four wounded one of whom, the most seriously wounded was a young lieutenant in the 3rd Virginia named James Monroe. Fifth president of the United States. Worth mentioning I would think.
That is unfortunate because viewers probably lose interest.  Please stay with it; it gets so

and its very chilling

1058	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	For a 1968 Hollywood-bankrolled war movie, HELL IN THE PACIFIC was almost right up there with the best of "foreign" films of the Sixties. Featuring only two characters throughout---a Japanese officer and an American officer marooned together on a otherwise unpopulated Pacific island in 1944---the film puts us immediately into the difficulties facing the two men, who are enemies by their circumstances and literally cannot understand each other. The story of how they deal with their plight unfolds in ways that make perfect sense, and both Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifune as the two exiles give performances that are both believable and affecting. In fact, the only thing that keeps this from being a five-star movie for me is the very end, which, as I suspected, was grafted on at the behest of the studio heads [cf, director John Boorman's autobiography, ADVENTURES OF A SUBURBAN BOY]. The original ending, included on this DVD release as a special feature, makes much more sense and would have been better. But up until then you're watching one of the best war movies ever made.
Even if you have the dvd, this is worth the cost of getting another in blu ray.

9347	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	One of the most underrated films, in my opinion. I love  everything about it, especially the musical score.

6491	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I don't know where to begin with this movie.  First off, it was a movie based on one of my top favorite video game series of all time.  Second, it is the sequel to my second favorite movie of 2002.  Next up, it takes the story from Resident Evil 3 Nemesis, but improves upon it with better elements, action, music, and characters than the game version ever did.  RE3 was always average, good, but nothing spectacular, but this was such a better take on the story.  You have Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory), the girl from the games, Carlos Olivera (Oded Fehr), who is also from the third game, and Alice (Milla Jovovich), who was the star of the first movie.  All three of these characters were so much cooler than I ever imagined they would be, especially Jill.  This is probably one of the few movies where the co-star gets to do just as much as the main star to the movie, and I liked that.  I also found Carlos an improvement over the pompous playboy with the "sexy accent" that was in RE3.  The story was awesome, the music rocked, and most of all, it had many different elements from the game.
8033	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	This is a very good DVD with a story that remains fresh. The story is built on the armature of the ancient story of the Fisher King.  The Fisher King is played here by Robin Williams, a former college professor at Hunter College, who's wife is murdered. From this point on he is mentally wounded and appears to much of the world as a homeless mentally ill man.

I've read the script (which is available online) and I'm still wondering just what in the world happened to this film.
  Ethan Hawke plays the system-beater according to the cue of the story, always below the surface, and always with a "looking-behind-the-shoulder" aura. But the show is actually stolen by Jude Law, his Identity Giver and an ex-wonder "gene holder", who has to daily swallow his bitterness while trying to make what he thinks as best out of the situation. Uma Thurman is rather confined to the backround in the story, making Gattaca primarily a two-actor film. But this never undermines the force of this movie, instead it helps emphasize the story even more.

It contains 68 episodes on 20 DVDs, plus one DVD with quite a few bonus features The first season comprises 13 episodes and the first episodes seem spare, especially in the dialog--more like stage plays than video dramas of today's miniseries.  Later episodes lose that stagey-ness and become very involved dramas. Since the original series broadcast in the US did not include the black-and-white episodes,  I was not familiar with the development of the series and how it grew from a rather simple initial season to rather involved arcs. For that ALONE, I'd recommend this set of DVD's because seeing them all in series is fascinating. And I saw entirely new episodes (for me) as I'd missed a lot of the first seasons, being off at college and without a television for some years.

To top it off, you have storyboard to film comparisons (preceded with an introduction from Martin Scorsese), Animated Photo Galleries, and the original screenplay!

It is a splatter of unnecessary gore with decapitated corpses and mindless violence that desensitized rather than offer true scares. The phalanx of cannibals and vampire-like troops eating people alive and animatronic creatures like Licker, Zombie Dogs doesn't exactly fascinate either.

Much of the movie is full of the gorgeous scenery of the United States. Having driven many of these roads myself, I found myself remembering those trips fondly while watching the movie, and wishing I could go back and take those trips again. The beauty of Monument Valley and other locations is brought vividly to life. In many ways it's a celebration of the wild range of landscapes.


Mr. Gibson's "The Passion" (2004) was interesting if you want to see just to what extent Jesus suffered.

 There are plenty of other examples that use similar fantastic premises to tell their own stories. For example, there is a Twilight Zone episode in which a Western actor manages to get caught inside an alternate reality that somehow emerges from his experiences filming movies and ends up in the real West (not a particularly good episode, I'll admit.) TZ also brings us parallel worlds in which mannequins or dolls have their own reality, parallel, but independent of normal, human reality, and which sometimes intrude upon one another.

The 1991 movie is helped immeasurably by a galvanizing performance from Nick Nolte, who captures all the layers of pride, regret, anger, sadness and humiliation in his character. He propels the storyline with the unbridled passion of an actor sinking his teeth into a juicy part as only a female director could define it. In fact, Streisand steps back to play the subordinate role of Dr. Susan Lowenstein, the pricey New York psychiatrist treating Tom's sister, Savannah. Granted, she does make herself rather beatific even in her high skirts and flimsy blouses, but such expectations come with Streisand as she basically plays Tom's savior. At the same time, it is probably her most subtle work onscreen even with the touches of excess that often detract from her performances. She also hands out plum parts to both the wonderful Kate Nelligan, who gets to age convincingly as Tom's upwardly driven mother with a dark secret, and Blythe Danner, dependably effective as Tom's conflicted wife. Both especially excel in their revelatory conversations with Tom, the dialogue insightful without delving too much into psychobabble. Credit should be given to Conroy and Betsy Johnston, who wrote the superb screenplay. Melinda Dillon has little to do as Savannah except look traumatized, which she does well. And in a not too subtle display of nepotism, Streisand's son, Jason Gould, sullenly plays the doctor's son, a musician-in-training who is coached on the finer points of football by Tom.
mILA ROCKS IN THIS ROLE!
This is a warm, wonderful film full of laughs and great character bits.  I heartily recommend it to all who want a break from today's gross-out comedies.

Are there many extras on this DVD?  At first, I quickly glanced at the menu before the movie and I said to myself...probably not.  I was wrong!  After enjoying the movie so much, I then checked out the extras included on the DVD.  Bare in mind it was 10:30 p.m. when I finished the movie.  It was cool to see the trailers but then I watched the deleted scenes and oh my!  It's about 40 minutes long?  Well, ok...it's mixed with parts of the film, so I guesstimate that it was 30 or so minutes of extra footage. Most movies with deleted scenes are about 5-10 minutes long or even shorter.  It was a pleasure to see the extra scenes.  Some I felt would have been nice for the movie but I wish there was a director's commentary to explain why he took it out...but what the heck, they jammed some scenes into this deleted scenes segment already.

This film is simply beautiful. I don't want to spoil anything for you so I will be pretty basic. The film focuses around Jeff Bridges character who had recently ruined his career and in a fit of depression tries to take his own life but is instead saved by a homeless man played by Robin Williams. From this point on Bridges character is having a battle with his inner demons and his rough personality and it all ends up becoming a quest for the grail and to do what is right. The movie is a dark comedy so there are a lot of sad parts. This movie isn't for kids and if you are looking for a feel good comedy this is not the movie for you. The movie is well acted and enjoyable over all.
I happened to love everything about "Resident Evil."  I was a little worried at first, because we all know track records of movies based on video games.  They're not that good.  So, I was going into this movie with some kind of hope, but I was worried.  Well, I ended up enjoying EVERY MINUTE of the movie.  It was so good and so scary.  It was dark, twisted, and sinister.

Theres a nice mix of characters, even if none of them ever develop into anything (except for more zombies, of course).  As Rain, Michelle Rodriguez (Furious 7, Machete Kills) continues her cute tough girl flavor that began with Girlfight (2000) and has persisted 17 years later (Fast & Furious 8).  In that vein, she has sort of a Hicks and Vasquez (Aliens) relationship with a colleague, both part of a larger team infiltrating the Hive and taking Alice along for the ride.  We also find Spence (James Purefoy; The Following, Rome, High-Rise) who, along with Alice, works for the Umbrella Corporation protecting the Hives entrance but now neither of them remember that.

Now, Oscar hardly gets things right in my book, and this year was not an exception (Foster for Best Actress?  Palance for Supporting Actor?) but one thing that they got SO right was Mercedes Ruehl for Supporting Actress.  Her performance here is simply stunning.  She has so much attitude and charisma, but it isn't just a showy gimmick with her.  She has embodied Anne with so much heart and soul and emotional complexity.  Her breakdown towards the films end is the single greatest scene of the entire year.
Instead, try the Timothy Dalton version which is excellent though now a little low-budget looking,  or the 2007 even sexier and faster-paced version with Toby Stevens and Ruth Wilson, which is outstanding and the best yet. It moves right along, and yet it keeps all the story essentials.

I have never been a fan of Nick Nolte, but his sensitive performance in this movie is beyond incredible. Another reviewer stated that he lit up the screen, and he did...  He IS the Tom Wingo in Pat Conroy's novel. Together, Nolte and Streisand are perfection... and this is one of my top favorite movies of all time....

The show has a couple musical numbers in it which is not a normal feature of the kid's series. They're cute and provide a nice touch. The usual cast of characters are there and we learn a little more about each of them and what they do during their own Holiday celebrations. Every Holiday is covered which has become the norm for many Christmas shows; making sure no one feels left out. As such, you'll learn a little bit about each of those Holidays throughout the vignette of the storyline. Sadly, they keep Christmas focused on the commercial end of it and do not touch upon the sacred core about Christ's birth. But, that isn't distracting or forced, it just is. Arthur's dad does insert a nod to Biblical times when he decides to ditch the usual turkey and taters for first century foods. Neither are the other Holiday celebrations forced into the storyline. They flow naturally and overall the whole show highlights themes such sacrifice, friendship, love, togetherness, etc.
6088	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Now we get to the second movie in the Resident Evil movie franchise.  While I would think that doing a second movie would be a little difficult to do knowing that there was 2 stories that occurred in the Mountain City of Raccoon.  There was Leon & Claire that had to survive through the city let alone, Jill Valentine had to go through the city herself.  Although the 3 had their own battles that they had to deal with and knowing how to deal with what would be put in from those games I think had to be a difficult decision.  Though we get some of the characters that we got to know from the games like Jill Valentine, along with a couple of the S.T.A.R.S. Mercenaries, though one of them was written differently for the game.  Not only that we get, my personal favorite baddie, Nemesis put in the movie, and he's just about just like his video game counterpart in Resident Evil 3.  Although the movie does pick up where the first movie left off, yet the Umbrella Corporation tries what they can to contain the virus but can containing it be more than they bargained for?

This brings up the problems with the story. Since Alice wasn't in any of the games and this film is supposed to be about the third Resident Evil game, this puts the film in the "it's kind like but kinda not like the game" category, so you don't even know where it exists in the canon of the games' storyline. Second, some of the plot points are incredibly stupid from the start. After all, why would a corporation design a research facility with a special security system designed to seal the place off should something disasterous happen and then try to reopen the facility not once but TWICE once something so bad happens that the place needs to be sealed off? Couldn't they take the hint the first time they reopened the place and lost an entire Special Ops team inside? And wasn't the guy that escaped that was infected with their T-Virus enough of a hint that there had been a T-Virus outbreak? The logic that sets this film in motion is so annoyingly flawed. You'd think a major coporation like Umbrella was smarter than this. They could have at least tried to explain it off that the Hive was reopened with the purpose of letting the T-Virus escape to see how effective their bio-weapon was in a major city? That's one of the explanations they give in the game, but they don't even do that in the film.
The meaning of the conclusion is open to debate, but if you take it purely at face value, it's quite uplifting.
The fights are just a metaphor.  Just like the men in the fights, if all you had were only two hands and some guts would you triumph?  What rules would you play by? What kind of character would you show in victory?  What kind of character would you show in defeat?

Compare this movie to say something like Mel Gibson's PATRIOT and you have the difference between quality and trash!  The movie conveys the feeling and desperation of Washy's army on its last legs before striking back at Trenton.  Jeff Daniels does a spirted but probably false impression of Washy.  In reality the man was much more stiff and proper than is shown here.  Washy would never use such language in front of the common soldiers!  He rarely lost his temper as well, otherwise the famous tongue lashing of Charles Lee at Monmouth two years later would never have created such a sensation as it did.  Daniels makes Washy much more likeable to the modern audience, but is an flawed portrayal.

It received two Oscar nominations: Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (Jack Nicholson).  This film has since been held as a history cornerstone, educating viewers the true lifestyles during the 1960's, namely the hippies.  Its camera effects are brilliant, though some were accidental.  Though accidental, the film's impact wouldn't be nearly as intense.  Such effect places it ahead of its time remains influencial to modern-day films.  The plot of two motorbikers on a mission to make a drug deal is brilliant.  The people they meet and the experiences they live add a lot of originality to the film.  The accuracy of the lifestyles prove the writers did their research.  The acting is flawless, namely Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, and Jack Nicholson.  This film is what deservingly placed the then-unknown Nicholson into higher fame territory.  "Easy Rider" is a great movie for those looking for a great classic or a great history refresher.  This is sure to continue pleasing audiences for many more years.  Those looking for more should also buy the "Easy Rider" Sdtk., which contains great psychedelic rock and great "biker-pride" songs.

I found 'Upstairs' to be as entertaining though and have even ordered the latest series which was produced a few years ago.
The plot of this movie is really not that important, and I fear that a too thorough description might be misleading.  Yes - the film revolves around the three friends' attempts at small crimes, but this is not a slap-stick comedy about burglaries gone awry (even though they are entirely inept and even though the burglaries are extraordinarily funny).  Rather, this is a very dry comedy that thrives on dialogue (vs. physical humor).  If you've seen writer/director Wes Anderson's other films (such as `Rushmore' and `The Royal Tenenbaums'), you know what I mean.

What can I say?  You need to see this for yourself, so rush right out and get it.  Might as well pick up a coconut while you're at it -- you'll need that too.

This film is "meh". It isn't great, it isn't good, it isn't god-awful. It's quite derivative of other films it shouldn't be, and it lacks the elements that make the game so great. The acting is...well...there. It's also hard to care about characters who don't even have names. The only reason we know that Milla Jovovich's character is named Alice is because it's in the end credits. Characters are almost never addressed by their names during the film. So you feel almost completely indifferent when half the cast is killed off fairly early in the film. They all feel like nameless, faceless fodder, as bad as any cast of horny teens in any random 80's slasher film.

Review stated by: Grant Elmore , A.K.A.  Simply Overcomplicated Reviews
This special had the best voice casting of any they made, with Mickey Rooney as the older Santa, Paul Frees as Burgermeister, and Keenan Wynn as the Winter Warlock. The Mailmans voice and songs were by the great Fred Astaire, and they recreated him perfectly in a mailman figure. There are 6 wonderful songs including the title song, as well as "One Foot in Front of the Other". The Westminster Childrens Choir performs as well. Music and lyrics were by Maury Laws and Jules Bass. Writing by the great Romeo Muller who worked on so many of their projects. Character design by Paul Coker, and storyboards and continuity by Don Duga as they did on most of the studios specials.
Also, these are the complete episodes...they are NOT the shortened syndicated versions.
A young man runs through reeds into a cemetery. When he returns home his sister scolds him for his absence. A man catches him alone and asks for a file and food. He is an escaped convict! Back at home he is told to be "grateful". Soldiers arrive for the blacksmith, they found the escaped convict and put him in irons. Joe never learned to read. [No schools for common people then.] Pip is cleaned up for a visit. He plays cards with a young girl (pretty and proud). [Does their behavior seem odd?] Pip is questioned about his visit. "Can this be true?" He returns in six days for another visit. He sees strange things in that house. When he returns he is given a large sum of money. Afterwards he gets into a fight. [What a strange household!] Pip dreams of a better life. There is conflict in the shop. Later Pip finds a body! Who did it?

BEHIND THE SCENES:Rankin/Bass studios was the most prolific creators of holiday specials we have ever known. After the huge success of their 1964 stop motion musical Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, they created no less than 14 more Christmas specials, from a total of 35 specials of which many covered other holidays. In 1970 audiences were eager to see what the clever studio would come up with next, their last picture had been Frosty the Snowman the year before in traditional cel animation. As much as viewers enjoyed Frosty, they really liked the stop motion "Animagic" that was the specialty of the studio. The only TV specials they made this process so far were Rudolph, and The Little Drummer Boy. The new show aired on ABC on December 14, 1970 and it was in Animagic! It was a one hour special, and it recieved huge ratings. It still airs every year.

This movie is about heroes, more specifically the President of the United States, played beautifully by Harrison Ford. He is a man of strength, character, and wit, and must save his crew from hijackers. When this movie first came out, the story seemed very disturbing to me: a movie made in the U.S. about hijacking our very own presidential aircraft. What a country we live in!! Gary Oldman does a stellar job as the chief bad guy, while William H. Macy is solid as usual. Is there a movie that he (Macy) is NOT in? All in all, Air Force One is an excellent action movie with one heart-pounding moment after another. It depicts courage, love, and humanity.

It's quite shameless in the way it invents additional verses to the Bible to support its hotchpotch of apocalyptic predictions and throws in elements from everything from The Wandering Jew to Rosemary's Baby, yet it all works surprisingly well, mostly because the cast and director Carl Schultz take it completely seriously, even pulling off a surprisingly touching ending.

8325	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	My strongest recommendation: IGNORE critiques which pan this adorable production. Perhaps because this movie manages to be vastly entertaining without resorting to the talentless substitute for creativity we so often see in movies today, and uses humor, drama, a little pathos, capitalizes on the massively personable talents of its fabulous cast, includes many great musical performances, and finds no need to resort in desperation to filth or disgusting images, and even (woohoo!) respects normal standards of decency (rather than "pushing the limits," as panderers of the vile and disgusting like to call it); perhaps because it is simply wonderful, uplifting, warm, and satisfying entertainment, it doesn't meet the ugliness standards of the more "enlightened."

Despite my tendency to hold on to my opinions past their time, I have changed my mind in a dramatic way. This film  undeniably proves that Streisand is a very talented actress. Nolte on the  other hand has always had great potential, even if it hasn't been realized  in every film he appeared in. No need to worry, in "The Prince of  Tides" he is tremendous.
I gave the movie 4 stars for the great music, acting, gore, scare factor and the unique plot twist. However, it was not better than I Know What You Did Last Summer and the ending was a little confusing, so that's why I didn't give it 5. You've got to see this horror movie, cause it is a one of a kind film.
6703	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	It is definitely a Hollywood version. They have changed a lot the real history of Joan D'Arc. I don't think that Joan of Arc was angry all the time like they present her in the movie. Joan, according to the story heard voices from three saints, St. Catherine, St. Margaret and St. Michael. But in the movie they present three images and they never speak. Is like the same angel or saint in three different ages. The movie has more o less a slow pace and it turns really boring after 3/4 parts of the movie had elapsed. I think the version of Joan of Arc, starred by Lelee Sobieski is more loyal to what really happened than this one. Even the one in black & white with Ingrid Bergman was even better than this one.

Some of the best acting talent ever has gone into the making of this movie, which is heavily called for considering the amount of emotion that needs to be conveyed to the audience. Michelle Pheiffer is Beth Cappadora, and in this role, she is literally required to become her character. She does this with superb talent, playing Beth as an overall emotional person with a strong will hidden beneath her sorrows. Treat Williams makes the perfect supportive husband, as well as a father who just wants things to be like he always imagined for his family. Ben's return has a big effect on him, and when he puts his foot down about what the family does together, the acting is nothing short of amazing. Jackson does a great job in playing the older brother Vincent, as well as the wild-child teenager who gets into a lot of trouble. Whoopi Goldberg seems like a stretch as the detective working the case, but she works the camera as well with her serious demeanor.
The 1981-version has a better first episode; but then drags.

9768	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Set in the not-too-distant future, GATTACA depicts a world in which genetic engineering leads to the production of Nietzschean ubermenschen, or super-people, who are the only ones entitled to go on elite space missions.  Through an accident of birth, Vincent Freeman (Ethan Hawke), finds himself part of an inferior race; but exchanges identity with Jerome Morrow (Jude Law), who has the elite birth but lacks mobility.  Jerome gives Vincent his blood, eyelashes and other aspects of his personality: Vincent plays the part convincingly.  However things start to go wrong when a murder takes place, and Detective Hugo (Alan Arkin) goes in pursuit of the perpetrator.  The film contains plenty of futuristic costumes and settings, but its subject-matter is set firmly in the present, concerning the importance of fulfilling one's dreams, even if it means exchanging aspects of one's identity for another.  Hawke turns in a convincing performance; but the end of the film we admire him for the way in which he triumphs over adversity to achieve his goal.  Gore Vidal turns up in a cameo role as Director Josef, the boss of the elite unit; it seems appropriate that such a unique personality, who spent his life undergoing just the same trials that Vincent does in the film, should be cast in such a role.

When watching this film, I will agree that many, if not most, of the plot is totally predictable.  You might see things coming from early on.  But this doesn't steal from the fact that Julia and Susan are wonderful actresses, with a wealth of facial expressions and sublties that make them all the more captivating to watch.  Ed Harris doesn't do much more than stand around here, unfortunately.  He has one moving scene, where the emotion seems real, but the tears are fake, yet we still root for him as the dad and ex-husband caught in the middle.  You can really see him act in The Truman Show and The Hours, where he steps up to the plate to deliver extraordinary performances.  Then of course, Step Mom was directed by Chris Columbus and when I see his name on a film I know I'm going to enjoy it...Harry Potter, Home Alone, Mrs. Doubtfire, Nine Months, and the list goes on.  I wouldn't choose this 5 tissue film over, let's say, Terms of Endearment, or Beaches, but for me it wins in the category of Real Life Situations played with true talent by well known popular actors.

Note that this movie, as can be deduced from its title, focuses on an encounter of the third kind but encounters of other kinds do occur in this movie.
4606	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	While this film came out a few months before Top Gun, it was a hit when it was showcased. Then, Top Gun quickly eclipsed it. With a great '80s soundtrack, it is time to give this flying movie another pass.

The only real extra on the DVD is the original five-minute trailer, but it's a gem. Filmed on the film's set, with Sinatra introducing us to Joey's vocabulary with the aid of a blackboard and ruler, it's terrific fun and a genuine collector's item! Thankfully that's included on Twilight Time's excellent limited edition Blu-ray release along with a featurette Backstage with Kim Novak, an isolated score track and a booklet, as well as superior picture quality.
6042	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I love this movie; it's a survivor's movie.  The acting is great; I could feel the intensity of the rage and terror.  Be careful, though, if you're disturbed by violence and abuse.
The particular logical incident (or rather, illogical incident) involves the trial of a woman accused of being a witch. Through 'logic' it is demonstrated that she would be a witch if she weighed the same as a duck (which, surprisingly enough, it turns out that she does -- 'It's a fair cop' she concedes as the general rejoicing commences at the prospect of a bonfire). Those who have benefit of the 'Executive Version of the Soundtrack of the Trailer of the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail' are also treated to an exposition of the logical problems which itself concludes that 'sex is better than logic'. And who could argue with that reasoning?
A truly great artist understands that people want to dream, and be lifted into worlds away from those familiar, if only for a little while. Spielberg is a truly great artist. This was his third film.
5634	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	What a great line from a fantastic movie. The awsomething is how they added thehumor and totaly held up the myths about Vampires. The horrible transformationthat Jerry Dandrige takes on is exactly how I always thought  Vampires should look. Not the black cape Bela Lagosi look. And the part were  he crushes the Cross and saysYou got to have faith for this to work on me  Mr Vincent. And digging up the Banister with his fingernail was just  cool. Chris Sarandon is the bestVampire ever. Cool,Class and scary. Check  out his walk when he is in Charliesmothers room. I sware he is gliding.  Just little things like that makes this movieone of the greats. Dont miss it  if you havntalready seen it. Its a keeper..
By the way. The Ashfords in the movie aren't meant to be the Ashfords from the game. Are people so lazy these days that they can't think for two seconds? Angie Ashford-Alexia Ashford. Did you see much resemblence?
I recommend this for any Bible study class.  My church offered this as an adult education opportunity but now I've learned it is considering other uses.  I do believe this has many options for general church education.  Once my class ended, people were left wanting more.  Since there are many more parables to consider, perhaps a volume two will be forthcoming.
While the other movies in the set are all worth watching over and over, I think To Be Or Not To Be was and still is overlooked.  It is a truly great film.

A Fatal Attraction, Dracula, a Lois And Clark villain, a CSI, the mother of The Good Son, Dracula, Indiana Jones and acclaimed director Wolfgang Petersen bring you "Air Force One." You'll really believe that Harrison Ford IS the President Of the United States Of America. Accompanied by a rousing patriotic main theme from Academy Award winning composer Jerry Goldsmith, this movie delivers all the goods: action and suspense. Never a dull moment. All aboard.
This is a great Vampire flick to watch with your Lady/Man, however, it does show a couple of nude breasts in it but in good taste so if you have children it would be your decision as to wheater or not to allow children under 12 watch this movie.

9974	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Granted, Gattaca certainly tries to be all things to all people - it sells itself variously as a Philip K. Dick-esque sci-fi, as a Tense Political Thriller, an Edgy Romance, even as a Rumination on Filial Love and Obligation - but in my book it fails badly on every count. I am clearly in the minority on this, so I had better explain.

5121	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Viewing "Taxi Driver" for the first time recently I'm struck by the feeling that I'm seeing it out of context, and that it suffers by my comparison of it to more recent films rather than films that were its contemporaries.  While "Taxi Driver" is a societal-cultural touchstone I never felt compelled to see it and having seen it now doubt I would rush back to see it again.  That's not to say it's a bad film, but it is difficult viewing.  Director Martin Scorsese certainly captures the nihilism, ambivalence, angst, dislocation, and malaise of the 1970s to a tee.  Having grown up in that era, I remember that all too well, and in that respect "Taxi Driver" is a depressing drive down a memory lane I'd rather avoid.  The characters also lack nuance or much depth: DeNiro's Travis Bickle is a stereotypical "damaged goods" Vietnam veteran (which I found profoundly insulting), Peter Boyle's Wizard is a hard-boiled, heat-packing NYC cabbie, Jodie Foster is an equally stereotyped drugged out/addled prostitute, and Harvey Kietel's pimp/hustler borders on an ugly ethnic stereotype you'd only find in a movie of this vintage.  All border on two-dimensional caricatures and are almost over-the-top.

Watching Spielberg's film Jaws (which I may soon review), the police chief makes it, the college guy makes it, but the working class guy just can't escape the shark. There's a scene, when their ship first sets out on the water, I believe, where you can see a reflection of the American flag showing on the water.
What it's about is a punk guy named Steve-O and his friends that  spend all their time partying, doing drugs, and beating up rednecks, etc.  Eventually Steve-O starts to question the punk values he thinks are  important to him. In the movie, there is a lot of talk about posers, but in  the end Steve is a poser too.
1811	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Jeff Daniels had brought to life previously a great figure in American history by his masterful job as Joshua Chamberlain in 'Gettysburg'. In 'The Crossing' he takes on a even larger icon from the American past and pretty much knocks it out of the park. George Washington has always been one of my favorite historical characters, I think pretty highly of him. I think that he and his men were the glue that held the American Revolution together. Washington could have been a dictator but wasn't. His character and devotion to country are the stuff legends are made of.
To see the beginnings of punk rock, all one has to do is view the extraordinary Sex Pistols' documentary "The Filth and the Fury." The anger and the music eventually spread to America, reaching such humble burgs as, according to this film, Salt Lake City. Fights with rednecks or frats were commonplace, and this is properly detailed. The chaos of concerts in small venues highlighted by thrash dancing and stage diving is expertly portrayed. The all-night parties, where wildly diverse styles including Nerds and Mods mixed with Punks, are recreated to great perfection.
it's a blast. A real stress reliever for me.
5864	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Although it's a bit goofy in places, this is a terrific adaptation of the Cyrano de Bergerac story by Steve Martin.  In Blu-ray, the colors are vivid and the sound track clear and clean.  Overall, Steve Martin has done an excellent parody on the Cyrano story.

The Fisher King turned out to be a pitch perfect project for a guy like Williams.  In it, he plays a regular man who has his life torn apart by tragedy.  The tragedy transforms him from a mild-mannered professor to an indigent who lives in a junkyard, dresses in rags, and claims to hear the voices of fairies.  The characters name is Parry, and he seems to constantly be in the throes of a desperate good mood which his obviously nothing more than a cracked mask intended to cover up his spiritual torment (you can see why Williams would be convincing in a part like this).

When I asked him to name a favorite special (in The Cartoon Music Book) Musical director/composer Maury Laws called this his favorite, because he thought every element was perfect, from the cast to the script to the overall feel. Fred Astaire proved added another dimension to his legendary career as one of the best narrators in any special. Mickey Rooney's bravado was ideal for the young Kris Kringle. Keenan Wynn's Winter Warlock was memorable (especially when he gets the choo-choo). And our beloved Robie Lester (read Mouse Tracks for more about her) was the show-stopper when, as Jessica, she undid the proverbial bun and belted out her solo, a great tune in a score that hasn't a dud in the bunch (though sadly, in today's more creepy times, "Be Prepared to Pay" may seem to take on an odd -- thoroughly unintentional -- connotation).

The instructor is warm and friendly and explains how to get into each pose with percision. I always feel loose and relaxed after doing this workout. This is the tape that made me want to try even more yoga tapes to expand my practice! I recommend it to everyone I know just starting out. The price can't be beat and neither can the style. Although I have aquired more tapes recently, this tape will stay in my yoga practice for a long time to come!

I have a collection that numbers more than 5,000 in my collection going back to the silent film days, and I have served as a film reviewer in several publications, so I feel qualified to offer my insights about this wonderful ensemble film based on the Herbert Ross film production of the Robert Harling play.
Final analysis, enjoyable Holiday fare; fun for the whole family.

But, I still cry every single time I see it and I was so excited when I saw it was out on dvd. i agree that they could have picked someone else to portray "anelle" but everyoe else was wonderful. the acting is superb and the stryline is perfect. I almost wish they could have made a second one but there is no doubt that it could not compete with this one. It is definetley going to go down as one of the great classics and I recommend it to anyone, male or female.

8381	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I love this movie.  This edition has more extras than the other dvd and I'm getting it.  I prefer fullscreen to widescreen-widescreen is distracting to watch- all that black space at the top and bottom of the screen.  Full screen fills up the entire screen and I can get into the movie more.  I know- if it was shot in widescreen- we are missing part of the picture.  I didn't know til I read other reviews that it is so much of the picture- I never saw this movie in widescreen to know the difference.  To satisfy everybody, and watch one when you don't want the distraction of the black bars, and one when you don't want to miss any of the picture, the special edition should have both versions.  Some dvds do have both versions.  Maybe the'll come out with a version with both on it, and all the extras.  Until then, you can buy this for the full screen edition and the extras, as well as the widescreen edition- without the extras.  They should shoot all movies in full screen- that way we'd have no bars and we wouldn't be missing any of the movie- some movies are shot this way.

I mean, what does a swallow have to do the grail? Although, they could have worked on the ending a little bit. No one likes the ending! Each Scene had me on aching.

8926	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Children absorb and learn values and behaviors from many sources as they enter into the larger world.  This delightful adventure teaches Elmo the importance of sharing, community, cooperation, and friendships.  He navigates his way through scary and unfamiliar territory gathering a cohort of new friends who overcome a selfish person.  Because the content might frighten some children, Bert and Ernie occasionally interrupt the action to talk about possible fears.  I began watching this story with my nephew when he was not quite three.  It remained his favorite for several years.  Familiarity with Sesame Street, although not essential, is helpful.

Anyway, Julie calls up long-lost Ray, asking him to go to the Bahamas with her, Carla, and Carla's boyfriend Ty. Ray refuses her, but then decides to surprise her. Of course, on his way to meet Julie at the airport, he is set upon by Ben Willis, and ends up in the hospital, from which he escapes and spends the rest of the movie trying to reach the resort. That resort is Tower Bay, where the group, along with newcomer Will Benson, who has it bad for Julie, finds out that the resort is left entirely to them due to the incoming of heavily inclimate weather. "This is our version of winter," says the hotel clerk. So pretty soon, the rain is falling, and so are the bodies, moreso than the first movie, and much more gratuitously.

The main draw of A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT is the immaculate, pristine scenery of the Montana, the mountains, plains, sky and beautiful rivers. I was glad to find out that the cinematography for this film took home the Oscar because if any film deserves it, this one does! I just wish it had gotten a bit more recognition from the Academy. What Redford has crafted here is extraordinary. As much as the cinematography has been rightly praised, it is the attention to character detail and how it complements the scenery that impresses me the most about this masterwork of cinema. This is really one of those films that demands viewing!

A story of hardship, challenges and a desire to find a family of one's own all set to music. Annie is nothing short of a classic, and this film provides a highly charming Annie whose adventures are fun to follow. Perhaps in part because its musical aspect makes some scenes less heartbreaking. Besides, there is nothing more cute than someone sporting a ginger fro while running away from people who pretend to be her parents, so they can swindle an adoptive father out of some big bucks.

But I digress. Sadly, when it came to this movie's initial distribution on DVD (A.K.A. the UN-special edition), I was caught up in the notion that it would be the only version to be put out on the digital video market. I never anticipated the Pythons throwing out a special-edition pressing, which is eventually what happened as you can plainly see. But, looking back, I really should've seen it coming. After all, 'Life Of Brian', considered the best of the MPFC flicks by most (myself excluded), went the same route- given the Criterion Collection treatment, no less! Trailers, commentary tracks, the works! Great- now I gotta shell out several more bucks to make my Python DVD collection REALLY complete! Fortunately, I managed to sell my old 'MP&HG' platter on eBay for just a little less than what I originally paid for it; that helped things out quite a bit.
Tossing wristwatches away, two bikers hit the road to find America. After a major cocaine sale to an L.A. connection,free-wheeling potheads Billy,played by Hopper; and Wyatt aka Captain America,played by Peter Fonda,head eastward to party at Mardi Gras before going to Florida with the riches concealed in Wyatt's stars-and-stripes gas tank. As they ride through the Southwest, they take a hitchhiker to a struggling hippie commune before they get thrown in a small-town jail for "parading without a permit." Their cell mate,drunken ACLU lawyer George Hanson, does them a favor by getting them out of jail and then decides to join them. Babbling about Venusians, George discovers the joys of smoking grass, but an encounter with Southern rednecks soon proves how right he is about the danger posed by Billy's and Wyatt's unfettered life in a country that has lost its ideals. With the straight world closing in, Wyatt and Billy try to revel in New Orleans with some LSD and hookers but the acid trip is shot through with morbidity. Once they reach Florida, Billy raves about attaining the American dream; Wyatt, however, knows the truth: "We blew it." He knew that their financial success resulted in a spiritual failure.

The only faults are a couple minor quirks in the script-- like you can tell whodunit almost right away.

8067	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This is the one for which Robin Williams should have received an Oscar; for as Parry, the victim of a senseless tragedy, he is nothing short of brilliant in "The Fisher King," directed by Terry Gilliam and co-starring  Jeff Bridges (who also gives an Oscar-worthy performance here).  Gilliam  has created the perfect mood and atmosphere to tell the story of successful  radio talk-show host Jack Lucas (Bridges), and the homeless and mentally  unhinged Parry, whose lives intersect in the wake of an act of  unconscionable violence that leaves them both barely clinging to the memory  of a reality that no longer exists for either of them.  With this movie,  Gilliam has deftly crafted a study of the symbiotic existence of mankind  and the impact of human nature upon the space we all must share in a world  growing smaller day by day.  Through Jack's eyes, Gilliam examines the  nature of cause and effect, and the results thereof, and Jack's story  ultimately becomes Parry's story, and aptly illustrates how the needs of  one become the necessity of another, and what it means to finally be able  to look beyond ourselves and delve beneath those layers of contemporary  frivolity we all manage to build, which in the end are nothing more than  pretentious insulations that keep us from the things in life that really  matter.  Even as Jack's own act of irresponsibility comes back to haunt him  and make him question his own values to the very core of his being, Parry  receives the brunt of it all from the other end of the spectrum, with  consequences even more dire, though for both the result of their shared  circumstance is life-altering.  Williams gives a masterful performance  here that illuminates so well how thin the line between comedy and drama  really is.  He brings the complex, tragic figure of Parry to the screen  flawlessly, with attitude, expression and even body language that is  impeccable, and all without a single false moment to be found anywhere  throughout (by comparison, even as good as he was in "Good Will Hunting,"  for which he received the B.S.A. Oscar, under close scrutiny you'll find a  moment or two there that do not ring true).  This is quite simply the best  work he's ever done, before or since, and he's given the cinematic world an  unforgettable character that will undoubtedly make a lasting impression on  anyone who sees this film.  And, though Williams grabs the lion's share of  the spotlight here, he by no means overshadows Jeff Bridges, who has also  created a memorable character in Jack.  He brings a depth to this role  through which he readily displays the many different levels upon which Jack  works and lives, from the egotistical, self-centered to the compassionate;  it's like watching a struggle for domination going on within him, and  waiting to find out which side will ultimately emerge triumphant.  It's an  exemplary performance, and it's a gross miscarriage of justice that Bridges  didn't at least receive a nomination for Best Actor for this one.  Proving, however, that justice does, at times, get it's due, Mercedes Ruehl  was awarded the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her personable portrayal  of Anne, the fulcrum upon which Jack and Parry dramatically balance their  tender and tentative psyches.  Like Bridges and Williams, she gives a  performance here that is totally credible, and she's a delight to watch.  One of the strengths of this movie, in fact, is the incredible  performances; and it's so gratifying to see such a good story brought to  life and made so real through artistic endeavor.  In a supporting role,  Michael Jeter demands to be singled out for his part as the homeless  Cabaret Singer, and also Amanda Plummer, as the hapless and endearing  Lydia, both of whom are just additional parts of the aggregate that make  this such a great movie.  With "The Fisher King," Gilliam has given us a  wonderfully textured morality tale, both entertaining and engaging and rich  with metaphor and substance that will endure the test of time, because it  is, in the end, a story for the ages.  This is definitely one you do not  want to let pass you by.

As far as flaws go, most of them come in the form of bad casting and unrealistic performances.  The biggest miscast was Barbra's son, Jason Gould, as her son, wannabe football player Bernard.  He comes across far too dorky and does not have the proper body to be completely believable as a football player.  The other major problem is Barbra Streisand's performance as a psychiatrist.  It has to be said that the way she acts is extremely unprofessional behavior for a psychiatrist.  Real psychiatrists don't get confrontational, talk to their patients like they are stupid, yell at their patients, and certainly do not become friends with/date their patients.  But you could argue that that is just something you need to suspend disbelief on.

6424	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	Let me first take a second just to say that i have never written a movie review in the past, but i am a person that when extremely pleased or highly dissatisfied often feels the need to say something, so here it is: This movie is without a doubt one of the most worst action/horror/scifi/whatever the hell peice of crap kinda movie you want to call it. What bothered me most outside of the huge plot holes was that this movie was a horrid rip of of ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK (which i will add was a much better movie by far than this piece of tripe). What the producers of this movie relied on was the fact that the audience they were going after (young males 16-25) probably have never seen or heard of the movie ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK thus wouldnt know that there wasn't one single fresh or original idea in the whole movie. Yes it was nice seeing Alice and Valentie (pretty faces and nice bodies to attract the boys) kick some butt, ill admit, but when you actualy go to the lengths of stealing another persons movie idea you'd think they could at least make the plot work (i.e. to reanimate dead bodies they MUST be infected with the T-Virus, yet when the wayward team are running through a grave yard, corpes come up from the ground. Can someone please tell me how they, 1) got out of ther coffins from 6 feet down, and then tell me how they were infected with the T-virus?)I won't bore you with more details of the dreadfulness of this rip off, my only point was to warn any of you Resident Evil 1 fans that were thinking of picking this up (by the way i did like part one)If you really want to see a better version (AND NOT A RIPPED OF PIECE OF GARBAGE) of what was meant in APOCALYSE, rent or buy ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK with Kurt Russell, i think you will be pleasantly surprised.
Spielberg weaves Neary's everyman-faces-an-extraordinary- situation plot with the official investigations being carried out by the UN-sponsored Lacombe team and a more secretive U.S. government First Contact program.

I'm sure that much has been written on the details of the series already by other reviewers, so I don't think there is much I could add there. So, I'll just say that this is a great series to watch and well worth the time required to watch all the episodes.
5135	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Everyone has commented on the film's plot and characters. What I would like to focus on is the details. The film (unlike the hopeless "Summer of Sam" by Spike Lee) captures in a very visceral and frightening way, the New York City of the 70's. From the opening scene with the lights from the porno theaters reflected off Travis Bickle's face to the end where the same theaters reflect in the mirror shows the oppressive terror that people felt about N.Y.C. and especially Times Square. If you watch it enough times, you'll notice that every scene has imagery that is stating something further. When Travis Bickle goes to meet up with the Jodie Foster character for the first time you hear church bells ringing in the background.  The Belmore cafeteria was a real life hang out for cab drivers and the scenes there are of every day life, hustling for a living. Of course, Robert DeNiro's portrayal of Travis Bickle is over the top but Travis Bickle is a character that, however guiltily people are forced to identify with (such as "Alex" in Clockwork Orange). Also, without bringing up the topic, the idea of the Vietnam vet that has become psychotic and lost his humanity (an interesting, although much lesser film would be Deathdream where a Vietnam vet who returns is literally a murderous zombie)and can only redeem it through "saving" someone else was just beginning to be explored at the time. The views of the checker cabs and the bygone Times Square as a squalid frightening place have been "disappeared".  Bernard Hermann's score of smooth jazz with the elements of rage suddenly boiling over in symphonic flashes is perfect for the movie. Screenwriter Paul Schrader is picturing a form of Dante's Inferno located on earth. Unlike the morally indefensible Deathwish (not to be confused with the above Deathdream), Charles Bronson's vehicle to stardom, Taxi Driver has a humanity in it. Travis Bickle is doomed by his own destruction, the ending showing that he is a ticking time bomb that is just being reset. Martin Scorcese, especially in combination with Robert DeNiro and Harvey Kietel has made many films that will stand the test of time but Taxi Driver is his masterwork.

Roy Scheider is Murphy, a police pilot and shell-shocked Viet Nam vet, is given the task of field-testing the new chopper in hopes of getting it in service for the LA Olympics (this movie is circa 1982).  Never one to go by the book, and with the help of fellow flyer Lymangood (Dan Stern), Murphy takes the super-chopper on an unauthorized jaunt and discovers the dark secret of Blue Thunder's purpose, uncovering proof of a massive conspiracy to turn LA into a police state governed by a fleet of gunships.  When the conspirators - who include a sinister pilot (Malcom McDowell) who was also Murphy's Commander in Vietnam - realize they face exposure, they kill Lyman and set their sites on Murphy.  Driven to desperation, Murphy hijacks the machine, stalling for time until his girlfriend (Candy Clarke) can find the proof that Lyman left behind revealing the truth about Blue Thunder.  The police and the military pull out every stop to bring Murphy down - missiles, fighters and other choppers.  Murphy's solutions are pretty inventive, but you know that these are only previews for the big one - the major dogfight between Scheider and Macdowell over the streets of LA.

The only redeeming quality of this film is Dustin Hoffman.  Other than that, it's a total joke.  Even John Malkovich made me wretch (and I usually love him).

Tara thoroughly describes the exercises and why they help, and she's very easy to understand and listen to. However, it's not just kegels. It's also abdominal, back, and upper leg workouts, which all help more than just kegels alone. However, the workouts take a long time (the shortest one is 8 minutes, and that's AFTER you've mastered the moves first) and I just do not have time to do these with a toddler running around and my busy schedule. If I had plenty of free time or was a stay-at-home-mom, I would do these every day because I know they'd help and it has great reviews. But unfortunately I don't have the time.

Yes, the plot holes were there as far as the script, but at least no one was dumb enough to stand in the path of the vampire screaming. This is what gave the movie strength, despite the troubles with plot.  Peter Vincent did stammer and cower after he visited Charlie's neighbor.  It's amazing how he rebounds though.

Jill Ireland was...well, not at her best, but then she didn't have much of a role.  The tone of the movie is outstanding: it really captures the tough grittiness of the Great Depression era.  I have lost count of the number of times I have watched this movie.

The story is simple enough, and yet manages to become intertwined and entangled within itself throughout the course of the brisk 89 minute run time. King Arthur, best known for his acquisition of the sword in the stone and subsequent leadership of the knights of the round table, is featured here as a blunt, modest man... oblivious to everything going on around him, and painstakingly patient through the most bizarre of circumstances. As the story unfolds, Arthur slowly gathers his knights, briefly visits Camelot and is charged by god to retrieve the infamous Holy Grail. The troupe embarks directly on their quest, without the slightest idea of where they're headed, and eventually runs into dozens of almost unrelated hurdles along the way.
CE3K has not enjoyed a sequel.  That's fine; leaves it to the imagination, a bit like the ending of, 'The Life of Pi.'  After learning what Neary went through, does the future activity of the aliens include arranging a special visit with Neary's kids?  Does Neary reconcile with Ronnie?  Does he marry Jillian? What happens to Major Walsh?  It makes no sense for the mothership simply to take Neary away and never return.

The DVD is quite good in picture and sound quality with the theatrical trailer, this is a must own movie for fans of horror comedies and vampire flicks.
SERIES 4: 1914-18, the Great War is happening, and it touches the Bellamy house stairway ends. Another 2 Emmys won due to struggles with soldiering, war efforts, changes in lifestyle due to war, and love at all times. A fine dramatic, but historical look at WWI, on the London home front.
My current set I recorded off of Nick probably 15 years ago, transferred to MPEG files about 12-13 years ago, cut and edited them with some cheesy video editor from the early 2000's, and got them down to around 750 MB so that each would fit on a CD.  My backups have also clogged up my hard drives over the years.  $79 to get rid of all this headache and have the complete series? Bargain!!!!
Danny Cannon's direction of the movie deserves recognition. The guy makes sure the movie looks great and brings tonnes of atmosphere to the movie. The killing scenes are done to perfection. I was glad he didn't just take the point-and-shoot routine that many horror movies use these days. Cannon put effort into his surroundings. Unfortunately the film editing is pretty atrocious. The characters' mouths move a lot when they're not saying anything, and injuries are cleared up very easily, like in one shot the person is hit hard with something, and then in the next shot they're running like hell and not even a bruise. Think about the editing techniques next time, Dan.

The mission to capture him is a success, but not long after Marshall and his family board Air Force One on a flight back to the U.S., Russian terrorists posing as newsreporters take over the flight, complete with machine guns and heavy weaponry. Their demands: to have Radek released or else a hostage (50 total) will be executed every half-hour.

The film vividly shows the torturing, deep pain of utter loss, as well as our vital need to be loved -- and our need to perform acts of kindness, and to seek forgiveness for the wrongs that we have done.  The love story between Williams and Plummer is one of the sweetest -- and most convincing -- ever in a film.  It's enough to give us hope that, truly, anything is possible.  Jack's road to redemption is a rocky one -- as is his own love story, which is bound up with that of Perry and Lydia.  The lengths to which he ultimately will go in order to help his friend are stunning, inspiring, and, most importantly, believable.

FOR DVD buyers:  The DVD could use a lot more extras on it.  I  hope that Criterion will provide a treatment of this classic as they did  the other amazing Anderson movie, "Rushmore".

Preachers kids who drink, curse, smoke, and gamble.  A father who seems to be a good preacher and almost a tyrant,  A mother who seems wimpiest and crushed.  You think this has some sense of reality to it let me know.  The Hollywood environment will never produce a Shakespeare, Dickens, Solzhenitsyn, Dostoyevsky, or Tolstoy.  Hollywood is to arrogant, egotistical, or vain to be of much value. They usually make movies from books by contemporary authors with a political or social agenda of contemporary times.  Makes you question motivation. You will find movies that were made years earlier at 2 to 3 times the value in price and contextual quality.

 The cinematography was excellent. The road scenes were just gorgeous, and the motorcycle drive through New Mexico was quite impressive. The most chilling scene was the ending with the panning out of the camera that gave a somewhat dark feeling that might depict a scene from war torn Vietnam. Or maybe a false sense of hope of a generation that fought for freedom.

Instead, they created new characters and created a semi-backstory to the events of Resident Evil the video game.  And, also surprisingly, it works pretty well!  What helps is that we have two cool actresses, Michelle Rodriguez and the always enjoyable Milla Jovovich.  But what also worked for this movie is the tension and suspense that built from the very beginning to the exciting climax.

As important as these sequences are, the focus of Spielberg's story is on Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss), an employee of a Midwestern power company whose life on Earth is ordinary, hectic, and somewhat unfulfilling.  Sent out to investigate a section of power lines in rural Indiana (caused, of course, by the UFOs' passage), Neary has a close encounter of the first kind and impulsively goes on a truck-borne pursuit of two small "flying saucers."  This sequence, which ends with a Keystone Kops-like police chase of the same UFOs, triggers an obsession within Neary that neither his wife Ronnie (Teri Garr) nor his children will understand, much less accept.  Neary, along with several hundred other people from different towns and states, will soon be haunted by both a visual image and a simple five-note musical phrase.  The traces of the UFO flights that leave traces behind (sunburn on people who, like Neary, were exposed to bright light at night) are known as close encounters of the second kind.

FINAL WORD: It's hard to put into words why I like this film to the extent of writing a review. It's nothing exceptional, but it somehow 'works' and gets better with repeat viewings. I bought the dvd a year & a half ago and have watched it three times since, which is something I rarely (if ever) do. I think what attracts me is that it's more than just a mindless cop/action flick, although it has the thrills if that's all you're looking for. "No Mercy" has something to say about love, loyalty, courage, justice, freedom and happiness, but it's smart enough to not spell it all out. Hence, not only is the picture enjoyable to watch due to the 'movie  magic' but it can also leave you contemplating.

And although I never thought about this until I heard someone else say it, why would the computer send out all those little lasers and not just the "net laser" if it's job was to kill any and everything? The answer is, so they can include more unecessary action without incorporating it more smoothly and intelligently.

 Richard Dreyfuss plays Roy Neary, working-class father and husband who witnesses what he believes to be a UFO. He finds himself tortured by visions and shapes seemingly stuck in his head, and he becomes obsessed with UFOs. Neary falls apart, losing his job, friends and eventually his family in several harrowing scenes. He befriends Jillian Guiler (Melinda Dillon), a single mother who has witnessed these UFOs and is obsessed with similar visions. Her son is abducted by the aliens in a terrifying scene. They eventually realize these visions are mysteriously pointing them towards Devil's Tower in Wyoming. They frantically travel there even though the U.S. military claims a train wreck has caused deadly gas to cover the countryside. Scientist Claude Lacombe (Francois Truffaut) and his eccentric team have devised a musical language enabling them to communicate with the UFOs. The meeting place is, of course, Devil's Tower in Wyoming. Neary and Guiler fight their way to the mountain, stumbling upon a government-constructed landing strip where Lacombe and his scientists hope to meet the aliens. An enormous mothership appears and humans make contact with aliens for the first time in history.

This is not Spielberg's magnum opus: I believe that is in the future. As a director he is growing and changing and building on all those glorious films he has given to the world, rushing towards a pinnacle that will change film forever. Not all of them worked. This one did. The result is what our parents used to experience in a dark theatre years ago when people's lives changed based on what flickered before them on a silver screen. Magic. And for just shy of three hours, this magic will be yours again, in your homes, with your families, for as long as your VCR or DVD functions.

Sometimes Chaney is too good.  His characterization as a "ringer" by a quickly dispatched opponent's sponsor is used as an excuse not to pay up.  But Chaney proves to be too determined and resourceful to let that happen.

Interestingly, all the award nominations went to the downstairs actors, although it seemed to this reviewer that nearly all the actors put in strong performances.  Two personal favorites are Raymond Huntley's portrayal of the very formal, punctilious, and bespectacled family solicitor, Sir Geoffrey Dillon; and Jenny Tomasin's performance as the uneducated and unrespected scullery maid Ruby.  Tomasin took to heart Jackson's comment that there were no small parts, only small actors, and her rendering of Ruby may become a model for future actresses.  Fortunately, there are occasions on which Ruby knows more than the other servants, and when she shows initiative by leaving 165 Eaton Place to take a factory job, and by soliciting correspondence through a dating service--these events prevent Ruby from becoming a caricature.


Better this way, IMO, since the original leaves the sense of unknown in the viewer.  And the inside of the ship was kind of simplistic anyway - it looks like rock concert lights!

6419	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	People, if you want fleshed out characters and other cinematic niceties, why on earth would you even watch a movie like this?  It's meant to be an adrenaline rush, a cavalcade of fights and wow special effects.  Who cares about Alice's past?  We get enough from the first movie to fill us in.  This movie delivers what you should expect from this kind of moviemaking.  Milla Jovovich kicks butt in this one, which I think overall is better than the original, which seemed to be nothing more than an extended video game.  This time around we get Alice paired up with the likes of Mike Epps, Oded Fehr, Sienna Guillory and others.  Thomas Krestchmann who was so good in THE PIANIST makes an interesting villain.  There's lots of explosive action and twists and turns.  Its dark ending squeals for a third installment.  So relax enjoy this movie's mindlessness and appreciate the craft that was necessary to pull it off so nicely.
6782	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	Yeah this movie is terrible. This film relies completely on those slit second scare tactics. Where it's really quite one second and then there's a loud noise which usually turns out to be nothing. When there is something, such as a zombie, it's not scary. The zombies are very boring. They stumble slowly to their victims. They're so frail you'd think they could just be pushed over. Which is how it is in the 'Resident Evil' video game. Which is why this game never should have been made into a film. I do like the games but the plot just isn't strong enough for the big screen. If they want to make a scary game into a movie they should have chosen 'Silent Hill.' It's not so corny. Not all video game movies are completely stupid. 'Tomb Raider' managed to faithfully bring Lara Croft to the big screen and actually improve her image. Sorry Capcom, 'Street Fighter' failed and so did 'Resident Evil.'

Her character in this movie is not appropriate to show little kids that are very impressionable. There is also a cuss word that really upset me.

To sum it up, Alice starts off as she ended the first movie, alone. She gets geared up and finds out she was tested on, (Which is what created to her new super strength) She meets with Jill and the others, ends up on a mission to save Dr. Ashford's daughter (I did not see any relation to Alexia Ashford from RE Code: veronica, though.), which would lead to their evacuation of the city. They find her, and meet him. He gets shot, Alice fights Nemesis, who remembers her and joins her side (The only thing I did not exactly like...Nemesis was the big bad in RE3. But, due to the new story, I was able to deal with the new idea.) And they all fly off in a helicopter. (Not the Nemesis) The Helicopter crashes, and Alice appears to be burned to death.

9986	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This is sci-fi, but it's sci-fi qua sci-fi European style, with a focus on aesthetics and a sparseness of dialogue--certainly not a "messy American sci-fi action movie."  This enables the viewer to picture and concentrate on the fascinating premise, which is that of a society in the not-so-distant future where your station in life is institutionally determined (and limited by) your genetic code.  Ethan Hawke works hard to defy genetic limitations and societal expectations and to impress Uma Thurman, who in turn doesn't say much but looks very smart and very pretty.

I would like to end this review by saying that I laughed at Nemesis the entire time it was on screen.  For any of you that did not, I question your sanity.

Tons of extra info is included for those who wish to delve into the minutae of the films development and arrival on the screen.  This is one of Spielberg's more intriguing films, yet it leaves me curiously unmoved.  The storyline is good.  The effects are really good.  The script is good.  The locations are fantastic.  The acting is good.  I don't know what it is, but this is a film that I am rarely tempted to watch.  For me, this is a "pull it out once every five years" film.  I find the development of the plot lines to be interesting and one that raises numerous questions.  I just am not terribly interested in the way the director chose to answer those questions.  It doesn't gel for me.  In the end I kind of have a 'so that's it?' feeling.
The soundtrack is every bit as cool. In the theater it sounded incredible, and it certainly doesn't disappoint at home. For all of those out there watching on some crud two speakers system... you'll miss out.

The original game (currently being remade for Nintendo GameCube) had the perfect premise for a scary movie, it had the atmosphere, the monsters, the suprises and everything that kept a person on thier toes, all things which the movie that was made a s a prequel did not have. WHat did this movie have that was good? Michelle Rodrigiez is very good looking... aside from that... There were some great makeup effects, but the one non-zombie monster that appeared was the licker, which looked terribly CGI. Over all the special effects were unimpressive, they held back way to much with the gore, and there was far more eye roller moments than scares. This is what we call a hack fest flick, except there wasn't a lot of hacking... so there wasn't a lot going on here that would make it a good horror flick. The problem with a lot of game based movies is that the movies don't follow the games closely enough, that's why only Mortal Kombat has succedded to be a good movie so far, but Mortal Kombat Annihilation strayed too far from the original plot of MK 2 and failed miserably because of it. The same can be said of all of the other game based movies. Many of them have been moderate successes, but we gamers go to see these hoping for a movie that will be true to the games, not be related by name only. Resident Evil Rebirth for GameCube will be time much better spent than watching this movie. The movie has a lot of guns, and a lot of zombies grabbing at people, and neither are enough to call it a Resident Evil movie.

The  Grouch throws the blanket down the garbage can and Elmo dives in after it,  only to realize that it has been spirited to a place called Grouchland.  What he dosen't know is that Grouchland is being ruled over by a guy named  Huxley who has a problem with sharing things, and he has been stealing from  the townsfolk, always telling them, "If I touch it...it's MINE!"  Elmo has to figure out how to get his blanket back, with the help of many  colorful characters. The whole movie is great for small children. It  teaches them the value of friendship and sharing, which is something they  need to know about at a young age. The movie also allows the children to  participate in certain scenes (ex. singing along, helping Elmo to blow  raspberries, helping Elmo find his way through a dark cave). Overall, this  is a great movie for children, and I really did enjoy it, which is why I  have to recommend it!

Repression makes the activity dangerous, hence all the more attractive because it becomes pure sports. What's more it is a manifesto against the cruelty of the punishment.

This movie stinks. Not because a remake of the sixties TV series was a bad idea because it wasn't. Not because the movie didn't have potential because it did. Not because the series had a cult following and the movie had a ready made audience to tap into. No it stinks because it boasts one of the worst scripts ever, with plot-holes you could drive a car through, poor editing, poor special effects, a really (...) supporting performance from Eddie Izzard and perhaps the worst choreographed and directed action scenes you could ever see. Take a bow Mr Jeremiah Chechick (also director of the fine Benny and Joon and the awful National Lampoons Christmas Vacation). The movie also boasts a fine English accent from Uma Thurman but a truly awful acting display not just from her but an incredibly wooden and uncharismatic performance from Ralph Fiennes.

This changing of one's name seems to be a prerequisite to being a beat, road warrior out on the highway. Not only does Christopher change his name, but in EASY RIDER, the character played by Peter Fonda changes his name from Wyatt to "Captain America," and the character played by Dennis Hopper begins to call himself "Billy the Kid," both taking on the persona of Wild West characters of historical, American lore. In THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES, Ernesto begins to be called "Fuser" and "Che" (the name that stuck with him for the rest of his life!) while his buddy, Alberto, begins to be called "Mial." It's almost as if one has to shed one's former identity as a snake sheds its skin in order to take on one's true identity - and this requires the taking on of a new name, one which reflects one's true identity.

Unfortunately, Abby has some issues, as well as a penchant for having a recurring dream that figures prominently in things to come. As the events unfold in the film, one has to suspend belief, as Abby does things that no one having a high risk pregnancy would do, and the plot spirals into being almost ridiculous at times. Still, notwithstanding its deficiencies, the film manages to entertain the viewer and keep one's interest.

They tried to play on her more feminine side (and with horrid fashions).  Seriously, the clothes designers for Tara needs shooting.  For the most part, they couldn't design more dumpy look clothes.

The cast is terrific with William Ragsdale and Roddy McDowell as our heroes and Chris Sarandon in a fantastic villainous vampire performance. Also Stephen Geoffreys gives a great and really bizarre performance as well. I love 80s horror films and just 80s films in general and Fright Night has some of the best 80s style of any film of the 80s with its lighting, music and cinematography. The infamous and outstanding dance club scene is one of the best and biggest highlights of the film. Fright Night is a lot of fun along with the extremely rare and underrated sequel. Stay far away from the remake though. A must own for horror buffs especially of 80s horror. Other notable fantastic vampire films are the masterpiece Let Me In, From Dusk till Dawn, John Carpenter's Vampires, Tales from the crypts Bordello of blood and the other classic 80s vampire flicks The Lost Boys, Near Dark and the hugely underrated Vamp.

I was a big fan of the first movie, even though the storyline and the characters didn't have anything to do with the game series. The second one not only has all the elements that made the first one so cool, but now it actually takes place in Raccoon City. So, now you get a real perspective of what the game might actually look like in real life. Nemesis is just bad ass, definitely the coolest part of the movie. Milla Jovovich spent some long hours in the gym, because she is seriously toned. Sienna Guillory (Jill) is real nice on the eyes too, with her hourglass figure and tight fitting clothes. There's more Zombie creatures, too. The dogs are back, and while there was one licker in the first one, now there's a bunch of them. There's a lot more zombie people, too. Of course, also there's Nemesis. The action is pretty awesome too. You know how in the trailer they show Alice running down the side of the building? She also manages to kill four or so guards at the bottom without skipping a beat. There's also more humor in the movie. Mike Epps plays the wisecracking token black guy (as much as I hate stereotypes, that really is his character) and manages to pull off the bulk of the comic relief. I was very pleased with this sequel.

Opinion: There are plenty of good things to say about this movie and very little bad things to say about this movie. The action is plentiful and the sets look great. That kid is annoying little wimp though(I must have watched this movie 10 times and still find that kid insufferable). The humor hits(the outlandish stunts, shooting TNT away with bullets, the hackneyed catchphrases, a funeral filled with strapped mob families etc). My biggest gripe with the film is that it has to constantly explain itself through that craven kid. Its obvious that Daniel is the voice of reason in this movie and what an annoying voice that is! Plus he is a major wimp. You mean to tell me that somebody breaks into your house armed with a knife, dares you to stab them in the back with the knife and you do nothing? What a wuss! Besides these flaws, this movie is still underrated gem that is worth picking up. A noteworthy satire on ludicrous action flicks and compared to the rubbish that passes for parody now(Date Movie, Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, Meet The Spartans etc)it holds up well after all these years.

I personally love this film but like I stated earlier, it is definately not for everyone.  The humor is subtle and wry, but it's non-stop throughout the movie - you just need to pay attention!  There are so many classic lines as many of the other reviewers mentioned.  I have shown this movie to many friends of mine, some get it and love it while others look at me as if I'm from another planet.  However, I am a 'strange' dude when it comes to movies.  I usually despise Academy Award winning/nominated films (i.e. Titanic, American Beauty, etc...) or can't figure out why 'American Pie' and 'The Break Up' are considered to be so damn funny.  So then again, what do I know?  I know one thing - this movie is what movies are supposed to be - ENTERTAINING from start to finish.  If I could give it another star I would!

As the doomed but optimistic daughter of  Sally Field and Tom Skerrit, she holds her own in a cast of movie divas,  including Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis, Dolly Parton, and (in her best  film work, as well), Darryl Hannah.
The lead characters couldn't have been cast better, Milla and Sienna's chemistry is evident and meshes very well. The addition of Jill Valentine was a good call and I feel that the franchise will be carried out very well with Jill being the main character.
Reviews on movies like this one are difficult to write because the charm and essence of the film are in its characters and insane skits. Recapping the plot does nothing to convey the essence of the film unless you write it in an irreverent or silly manner. Since I am beyond that type of blasphemous writing, I should either plod on or quit and do my laundry.

2423	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	A film that went unoticed in the 80's is a tight well acted thriller starring the incomparable Richard Gere as tough brash Chicago Cop who's on a revenge misson to the bayous of New Orleans to find his partner's killer and gets involved with a mobster's illerate mistress. Standard Script with a few good action sequences thrown in along with Gere's exceptional talent to hold the viewer's attention throughtout the entire film. Even though the viewer has been through familar territory with this type of script it is still a great movie. Memorable scene was when Gere & Bassinger are treding through the swamps handcuffed together Mouthing off to one another.

I am a big Harrison Ford fan and I watched this film immediately when it came out on theaters.

Also, why does the super smart scientist hero have a serious case of the stupids? Laying low for a few days would have prevented most the the problems in the film. He even has sex at one point! Sex is all about DNA swapping. You don't do it if you're trying to hide your genome. His room mate, frankly, is much smarter. If the hero had been smarter, his room mate wouldn't have had to clean up after him over and over again. The poor guy even killed himself just to tie up lose ends so the hero wouldn't be caught! I felt so bad for him.
4176	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	The Deep End of the Ocean is a weepy drama but thanks to Michelle Pfeiffer's brilliant and realistic performance, I didn't mind it at all. I have never seen Pfeiffer give an average performance and I am including Grease 2, lol. The film is somewhat average but a lot of families deal with a child been abducted so I think a lot of people could relate to this film. Treat Williams and Whoopi Goldberg also star, they are great too in this. I am rating this film rather high because of Pfeiffer, she's one of my favorites!
Ragsdale and love interest Amanda Bearse are saddled with stock juvenile characters, but Sarandon relishes his role as the vampiric predator, toying with Ragsdale as the boy's accusations of supernatural horror are met with incredulity by all around him. However, McDowall steals the movie as a faded horror star whose old-fashioned values have fallen out of favor in an increasingly cynical age, and who finds himself confronted at the end of his career by very real monsters indeed. Though somewhat underwritten, McDowall portrays the man's cowardice, sadness and ultimate redemption with a deftness and clarity that brightens the entire movie.

1586	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I started reading this book last week and decided to rent the movie. They only had this version of Jane Eyre and was hesitant to watch it because I had never heard of the actors before. As the movie started I noticed that  it skipped the beginning of the book (began at the red-room incident)and  spent more time towards Jane Eyre as an adult. When I first saw Ciaran  Hinds (Mr. Rochester) I thought - this man isn't very attractive and he is  really mean!  Jane Eyre will never fall for him! But, Mr. Hinds played the  role wonderfully and even I looked beyond his roughness and fell inlove  with the character!  Samantha Morton played a wonderful Jane Eyre and I  really felt the chemistry between the two throughout the movie.  I think my  favorite scene was when he was waiting for Jane to get back from preparing  for her aunts funeral and was very jealous.  And the ending made me cry!  I  later rented a different version of Jane Eyre with William Hurt in it, and  disliked it very much.  There was no chemistry between the lead actors and  I was glad that I rented this version first!
I don't trust Oliver Stones movies about "real life."  That is a joke.  Real life is more interesting and rich and meaningful than what he "created" -- here at least.


Niro and Scorsese's best. This 2-disc set has good picture
This is not a simple story, and the drama which plays out between Neary and his wife (Teri Garr) is brilliant. Guiler's angst for her missing son is also perfectly portrayed by Dillon, one of the finest character actresses of this era. But the core of "Close Encounters," the moment of truth so to say, is the sequence involving the aliens. There are so many hundreds of ways this scene could have gone wrong. The aliens could have looked fake, but they didn't. The lighting could have been wrong, but it wasn't. The aliens are portrayed as being just as shy as we are - a perfect choice. There's a sense of wonder throughout these extraordinary proceedings. Eventually, one gets the feeling that if we truly meet brothers from another planet, it will happen much as it does in "Close Encounters."
3895	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	I vividly remember seeing "CE3K" as a teenager and I especially remember the ads with the long stretch of highway and the ominous quote "We are not alone!". Seeing the film 25 years later makes me wonder what all the fuss was about. This has to be one of Steven Spielberg's most overated films. It resembles a tv mini-series, long and plodding, and follows a select group of characters and their experiences with UFO sightings and abductions. I'm all for character development but most of these characters get stale really quick and you just want them to get on with it! As with many early Spielberg films, there are lots of noisy, irritating kids and messy houses which are meant to represent suburbia. After a long hour and a half, these people finally make it to Devil's Tower, where the aliens arrive and communicate with humans. This sequence is still dazzling, but basically just amounts to a spectacular light and sound show. And, oh yes, that five note tone gets really irritating by the end of the movie!

While the story has an obvious sci-fi thriller quality to it, one can see that despite being lumped into the genre, it's first a human-drama with many intriguing and challenging questions, which at this day and age seems shockingly relevant. It's a story about the triumph of the human spirit, what its capable of and what it can ultimately achieve.

5632	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	In the middle of a decade swarming with maniacs chopping their way through  victims came this strong modern vampire tale. Teen-ager Charlie has seen a  coffin being carried in next door and young women have been turnign up  dead. When Charlie begins to believe his neighbor is the real thing, he  calls in late night horror host Peter Vincent in the hopes of stopping the  vampire.  The story was well written, some of the old vampire cliches  are there, but not in the same old way like the crucfix tht does not effect  the vampire because Peter Vincent needed to believe for it to work. The  visuals are great, there is gore, but fortunately it is not overdone. Roddy  McDowell was a great choice as the vampire killer. The few scenes of him as  a movie vampire slayer were a hoot. Chris Sarandon is a very suave vampire,  certainly one of the best vampires in a modern setting. This is certainly  one of the strongest horror films of the 1980's.

I'm also not particularly fond of the fact that Jill Valentine takes a back seat so the always attractive Milla Jovovich can shine in the spotlight.  Throughout the film Jill basically sticks behind Milla's character so Milla can take care of all the approaching danger.  Meh, Jill deserves better in my opinion.  Also, it seems strange that Raccoon City is so enormous.  Don't get me wrong, it's a big city in the video game series so this makes total sense, it's just that it's hard to believe (without spoiling the ending in both the movie *and* video game) such a big city would be considered irrelevant when you-know-what happens at the end.  Not a good storyline direction for a movie.

1792	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I've read several histories of Washington and/or the Revolution, including "Washington's Crossing" by David Hackett Fischer - a very good book and surprisingly easy to read - and "1776" by David McCullough, which covers the Battle of Trenton in detail. This film - despite some revisionism - is an excellent portrayal of the crossing and the Battle of Trenton.  Jeff Daniels does a surprisingly good job of characterizing Washington's demeanor, patriotism and dedication to the "Glorious Cause", as most revolutionists of the time called our American Revolution. After all Daniels is not new to portraying historical military figures, having portrayed Joshua Chamberlain in "Gettysburg" and "Gods and Generals". In fact the acting by the entire cast is uniformly good throughout. Despite his dedication and patriotism, Washington had surprisingly little military experience before taking command and had to learn as the revolution evolved. Trenton was his first real battlefield success. Washington came very close to losing his army; and we came very close to losing the Revolution in 1776. It was mostly due to Washington's determination and daring that we were able to continue fighting instead of going down to an inglorious defeat. This movie does a good job of telling that story...it is an excellent film and an excellent history lesson. I think General Washington would have smiled and nodded in agreement after watching this.

It is very good story based on A Christmas Carol set in Depression era.
Is this what is considered good literature today?
The cold-war is over but that hardly means that some don't want to exert their muscle  over the United States. This high-flying adventure is not just another  "airplane got hijacked" type of movie. Rather, it is a special  effects and stunt extravaganza which stretches the last vein of adrenaline  and uses a great line-up of actors to do so. Harrison Ford leads the free  world as well as the 40,000 foot high adventure as President James  Marshall. A group of pro-Soviet patriates, led by who else but the most  convincingly psychotic actor on screen, Gary Oldman , have taken over the  presidential aircraft known as Air Force One in order to grab the Western  world by the  b---s (and they do a thorough job of it) in order to ensure  that their leader, one General Radek, played by Jurgen Prochnow, ( Das  Boot, The Man Inside,  English Patient) is freed in order for him to  attempt to restore his regime and take a shot at the title of the being new  Stalin. The cast also includes Glenn Close as the swift-thinking,  decision-making (or is she?)  vice-president and Wendy Crewson, who has  appeared in such films as The Doctor and To Gillian, On Her 37th Birthday,  as the First Lady. This is not another Executive Decision or another  Turbulence. Instead it is arguably the best action, A-list film of the  year. The special effects enhanced by digital sound are remarkable.

6785	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	First, let me say this with confidence: "Resident Evil" starts with nastiness, and then goes to downright nastiness till the end.  I like Milla Jovovich, so as far as she is on the screen, it's OK.  But the film itself is ... awful.  Not that it fails to entertain us.  It is often scary (some of the kids were jumping in the seat, it's true).  Its production designs are decent.  However, the director Paul W.S. Anderson doens't know one thing: originality.

imperfect people.
I won't go into great detail about the plot (ha-ha-ha!) or the innumerous zany characters other than to say it's absolutely irreverent and mad (something that seems common with the Pythons). Even the ending of the film is intentionally anti-climactic.
i originally fell in love with the Pythons in my youth watching the Holy Grail, but as my comedic tastes matured, i've found the Life of Brian's comedic parallel to the life of Christ to be the superior movie. however, Holy Grail will always have a special place in my heart with its unforgettable comedic moments.
I don't want to dwell on this too much, but CLOSE ENCOUNTERS is a piece of movie history, but sadly, not a living, breathing one.
The dvd is a treasure as well. You get a making of documentary that lasts just over an hour, taking the place of a commentary track (and this is one of the few documentaries that can replace a commentary track). There are storyboards, the screenplay, filmographs, advertising materials, and a photo montage that is narrated and covers trivia that isn't discussed in the documentary. This is a fine edition.

At the time, I have only heard of Milla Jovovich. When I watched it, I was left breathless. Milla delivered an outstanding performance as Joan of Arc as well as all the other actors including Tcheky Karyo as Dunois (of course). This movie is definitely a must-see.

Fright Night is still a fun movie, overall, but it has not dated very well. The music, the look of it, is all very very 80's. The effects are good, but nothing spectacularly better then other films of the time. And none of the actors are putting their best foot forward. Roddy McDowell and another actor share a scene near the end that does manage to capture some real pathos, but other then that it's all too campy, with writing and plot that doesn't support that choice. Camp acting in a dark and serious plot is just not a good mix.
1686	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	As I type this out, PBS' Masterpiece Theater is about to celebrate its 35th birthday making it the longest (if not 1 of the longest) prime time series on their network.  Suffice it to say it is wonderful to see if the best of shows of the series (which we inherited from such British networks as BBC, Granada, etc.) showing up on DVD labels like A&E, Acorn and even their own label.  The one series that a lot of people clamour about is this one: Upstairs Downstairs: The life of the Bellamy family and their servants in a story spanning the early decades of the 20th Century.  When this series first hit DVD, it was released in 5 sets of 4 discs, and then a megaset of all 20, followed by the 4 disc set of its spinoff (not sure it was seen here) Thomas & Sarah (all of which are still available).  Now for the first time all 24 discs comprising both series are in 1 REALLY MEGA set.  I will now finally get to see in its entirety a series that I have heard nothing but rave reviews about, plus its spinoff and can watch em uncut and uninterrupted all I want.  Nice way to start the new year with this set in my home in time for it's 35th anniversary.  Buy THIS set (as opposed to the other 20 disc mega set) and get ready for the most popular series we ever inherited from da British.

Niccol's use of dark and light portrayed sinister happenings, which had to be hid from the authorities.  The hiding in the shadows, added to the drama of the situation where Vincent (Ethan Hawke) was almost caught by his brother, in a nightclub, where by societal standards he was not allowed to be as an invalid.  Vincent found that he was able to achieve his dream, though not without help along the way.  Even though he lived in a closed society, he managed to escape from living the life of the marginalized.
I highly recommend this movie. Great for all ages, a Classic!

BEHIND THE SCENES:Rankin/Bass studios was the most prolific creators of holiday specials we have ever known. After the huge success of their 1964 stop motion musical Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, they created no less than 14 more Christmas specials, from a total of 35 specials of which many covered other holidays. In 1970 audiences were eager to see what the clever studio would come up with next, their last picture had been Frosty the Snowman the year before in traditional cel animation. As much as viewers enjoyed Frosty, they really liked the stop motion "Animagic" that was the specialty of the studio. The only TV specials they made this process so far were Rudolph, and The Little Drummer Boy. The new show aired on ABC on December 14, 1970 and it was in Animagic! It was a one hour special, and it recieved huge ratings. It still airs every year.

As someone completely unfamiliar with the video game on which the film is based, I didn't know what to expect.  In short, Resident Evil is about a group of "security" personnel who work for a huge conglomerate that is doing all sorts of research - some of it suspect.

A story about the Bellamy family and their servants, it goes beyond any kind of play or soap (quite frankly, I think it merged qualities of both quite successfully)--but it draws you INTO the family and you feel like you actually become a PART of the whole thing. Troubles? Sure always troubles with both the wealthy family and troubles with the servants. But even in real life, it always has trouble, doesn't it. Frequently very touching; sometimes even shocking; it's GREAT! I LOVE THESE DVDs! I don't give a flip what other people say about the alleged picture and sound quality "troubles".  I say, honestly, just WHERE are these alleged "toubles"--remember it was made for television; in fact during some of the early season you have some black and white episodes due to some kind of technical crew strike or whatever.

4400	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	The plot of the video is simple.  The muppets decide to surprise Fozzie's mother and spend Christmas at her farm.  The Sesame Street gang show up, and it turns out there is a Fraggle hole in the house to allow the Fraggles to join the fun in the overcrowded farm house.  There are many classic moments in the video, from the meeting of Animal and Cookie Monster to Bert and Ernie making alphabet small talk with Doc, a rocking "Jingle Bell Rock" by the Electric Mayhem, and a tear jerking moment with the Swedish Chef who decides to make a vegetarian dinner (after a duet of sorts with Big Bird).  As has been pointed out in other reviews, there were some edits due to licensing problems that have purists hopping mad.  While a couple of comments are a bit odd given the cuts, the movie still hangs together as great fun.  The final vignette with Jim Henson (appearing as himself) together with Sprocket is enough to choke you up and make you raise your glass to the memory of the great man.
6223	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	After seeing the first Resident Evil movie and liking it, I was expecting a whole lot more from this film, which I had been anticipating as soon as I found out they were going to make a sequel. Unfortunately, RE Apocalypse doesn't have any of the things that made the first one good! Resident Evil was first and foremost a horror movie, with zombies and other creatures and a bit of a sci-fi touch, a lot of story going on and a great addition to the mythos of the game, with a plot that tied in neatly and nicely provided more fictional background for the RE world. The make-up and special effects were top-notch, and all of the actors, including the ones with minor roles, did a fantastic job.


1345	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	I already own seasons 1 thru 4, so I'm very disappointed not to be able to purchase 5 and 6 separately. The price of the complete set is a bit high when I only need two seasons. Not sure what to do, but I'm hoping the price will go down, or they will also release 5 and 6 at a later date.

In a world where, depending on whether you're born normally or with help from science, determines who you can be and what you can do, a man denies the system. Taking the identity of a friend who can nolonger live in the real world, he heads out to fulfill his dream. But when someone commits a murder and it becomes clear to police that someone is there that shouldn't be, it is a race for time, trying to reach his goals and keep himself and those he loves safe.

I have often marvelled at the patience and tenacity of Washington through those 7 long years of war.  This film emphasizes his tenacity and just plain "toughness."  It also gives us a picture of those few common soldiers who stayed with him through bitter defeat and privation while the majority deserted or otherwise disappeared.  These few made the great difference.  And among these few were fewer still the fishermen from Marblehead who saved the Army in New York making possible the escape march to Valley Forge.  This same close-knit group of men made the difference again at The Crossing.  They knew how to handle boats actually making the crossing possible.

6430	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	I can't help but wonder how good this film may have been had it had another director, maybe one more attentive to the nature of the story.  Instead, actress/singer/director Barbara Streisand helms this picture, and she does a lot more damage than good.  Instead of creating a film that is rooted in raw emotion and heartbreaking tragedy she turns this film into a longwinded soap opera with over-the-top acting and `romance novel' style dialog.  In fact, the last quarter of the film is so ridiculous that I seriously wanted to vomit amidst all the saccharine facileness.
Everyone can learn and enjoy something from Rumpole. It is one of the BEST TV series ever made and at 17 for 7 series of 6 episodes its a bargain. I would also highly recommend any student of the Bar, to watch this series as you can learn so much about how the legal process works.

Having said the above, I guarantee that you will root for most of the characters. I love Lady Marjorie the best; captivating Georgina, no-nonsense Hazel, and Virginia as the second Mrs. Bellamy I love second. They are such adorable and charming people. I shall never forget that scene where Lady Marjorie tells Hudson the butler that "the King will be dining with us next week." She was picture-perfect in that one. As for the men, I always admire Mr. Bellamy for his political convictions. Although we don't actually get to see the hearings in the House of Commons, we do get a firsthand look of what goes on behind the life of a parliament member. It is this aspect of the show that gives "Upstairs Downstairs" its political dimension. As for Elizabeth and James, I disliked them most of the time because they are spoiled, but they do have their human moments. Plus, Nicola Pagett and Simon Williams are such good, good actors. These two have some of the best parts in the whole series; Simon Williams, especially, as James, during the War years and after that.

The  story begins with Shelby's (Roberts) wedding day, over the course of which  we are introduced to the other main characters; Shelby's harried mother  M'Lynn (Field), the gossipy yet sensible and straight talking Truvy  (Parton), the grumpy but warm hearted Ouiser (MacLaine), the shy, goofy  Annelle (Hannah), and the dignified, humourous Clairee (Dukakis).  There is  nothing to fault about this film; the 6 leading actresses give wonderful  performances, the scriptwriting is superior, and the scenery is very  appropriate.  The story is funny but not farcical, sad but not maudlin.  All in all, "Steel Magnolias" is a great ensemble movie (and who  cares if the leads are all female when their acting is so superb?) that can  be enjoyed by both sexes.

This marketing strategy is really stupid and is the reason the black market is kicking your Buttocks! 3000 copies and then out of print, it is laughable. How can a business even stay in business only selling 3000 copies? And if a movie is in high demand why wouldn't you keep printing as needed. Stupid!!!

Richard Dreyfuss is perfectly cast as Neary, a regular guy-- he could be your neighbor or the man who comes to install your phone-- and gives a thoroughly convincing, introspective performance while creating a character with whom it is easy to relate and through whom you are able to share this unique adventure.  Garr does a good job, as well, as Ronnie, the wife concerned with her husband's sudden and seemingly bizarre behavior, someone with whom you can certainly sympathize.  Dillon delivers, too, as the single mother who suddenly finds herself caught up in these inexplicable and extraordinary events, and also turning in a memorable performance is the young Cary Guffey, as Barry, Jillian's son, who makes his own connection with the other-worldly visitors.
Leonard Maltin and the other Amazon  reviewers complain about the ending, which comes as an abrupt and  dissatisfying shock, but I think it offers the viewer a choice of  interpretations. It could be taken straight, as the objective fate of our  two heroes, or it could suggest a metaphor for their (and our) inability to  get along together, an image of humanity's potential ultimate fate --  something more in the characters' heads than on the ground....

The storylines of the various "The Avengers" episodes seem absurd to varying degrees as we view them today - but 1968 continued to escalate the absurdity beyond the previous years' entries.

I mention this only to prepare viewers for this actuality.



6805	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Unless you're a gaming freak who's played Resident Evil 24/7 and watched this film expecting every single detail to match up to the game, I find it hard to believe how anyone could not find this film at the very least thoroughly entertaining. The story which is pretty simple goes like this. An underground research facility has been experimenting with DNA and doing dangerous and illegal testing on animals. The facility which is run by a computer shuts down and traps all of the employees inside and a virus breaks loose killing everyone instantly. Flash forward to Alice (played by Milla Jovovich) who wakes up alone in a mansion only to discover she has no clue who she or anyone else is. An army like swat team (including Michelle Rodriguez) breaks into the mansion, informs her that she used to be one of them and forces her and a mysterious man named Matt (played by Eric Mabius) to come along to inspect what's gone on in the lab. Soon they find themselves dying one by one and fighting for survival against zombies, mutant animals and monsters. This is one of those films you have to over look it's premise and watch with an open mind, but in the end what you get is a rewarding kick ...action / horror film with some amazing special effects and some sufficiant scares. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who desires some good thrills and lots of detailed gore. Similar to the video game, this movie is not to be watched alone and is filmed with many of the storylines and scenes taken from this game. I suggest watching this DVD twice. First watch the movie and enjoy it for what it is and then watch it with the hilarious commentary on provided by the film makers, Milla and Michelle who give alot of behind the scenes info about the frame to frame sequences they shot that were taken from the game. Also discussed is their time spent in Germany while making the film, the training that went into the fighting sequences and what to expect from the highly anticipated sequel. ... With a great score by Marilyn Manson this loud, in your face flick is possibly the best movie made from a video game ever. Alot better than Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. For those who didn't like it, give it a second chance and watch it with an open mind.

As is usually the case, the big surprise is noting how good of a comic actor Larry Hagman was on this show, before he made his mark as J.R. Ewing on "Dallas."  Just watch how many times he gets to do an over the top reaction to Jeannie's antics in "Help, Help, a Shark."  Just do not look for Barbara Eden's navel, because although it did get seen a couple of times, these are not those episodes.
This boxed set includes the 1979 spin-off series entitled Thomas and Sarah (thirteen 50-minute episodes), which chronicles the adventures and misadventures of those two memorable miscreants after they leave the Bellamy's employ.  Unlike Upstairs Downstairs, which is fairly high drama infused with a spattering comic relief here and there, Thomas and Sarah is very much a comedy-drama.  With Sarah's penchant for foreign accents and tale-telling and the conniving and entrepreneurial spirit that both characters embody, the stage is set for some thoroughly enjoyable vignettes. Most of the episodes involve the couple trying their hands (and luck) at something new--like running a match-making agency, working in a boys' school, working as magicians, and so on.  For all their efforts, however, they always seem to find themselves skint--and thus the need for another enterprise (and hence another enjoyable episode!).  The only thing less than satisfactory is the "conclusion" of the final episode, which left me wondering whether or not a second series was at least anticipated.  But that's is a minor quibble, for this is a series to be watched for the sheer enjoyment of the journey.

It is actually scary and interesting to see these characters stuck in a situation.  It's the video game live.  And, the movie nods its head to alot of the trinkets in the video game.  Milla Jovovich is very convincing, but Michelle Rodriguse (or whatever) can go somewhere.  The commentary is HYSTERICAL.  Besides the story line, the commentary is the best part of this movie.
Atrocious camera work just adds insult to injury. They did manage one rather nice plot surprise that I didn't see coming. About the only good point in the picture.
It's humorous and exciting throughout the movie. Interestingly, the villain of the film played by Sir Sean Connery resides at BLenheim Palace, a breath-taking private residence owned by His Grace the Duke of Marlborough in Oxon, England, which you get to see the massive and beautiful interior in the film,  too!
The best film Jane Eyre thus far, in my opinion, is the BBC 1973 version with Sorcha Cusack and Michael Jayston, also available through Amazon.com. Read my review on this version. It lacks the sumptiousness of the latter entries but the acting is first rate. This 1973 version has been unanimously hailed as one of the best interpretations of Jane Eyre.



1354	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	First of all I'd like to put this review into perspective, I wanted so much to like this movie. I think Ralph Fiennes is a fine actor and whats more I'm Scottish and as is the custom if you're Scottish, I'm one of Sir Sean Connery's greatest fans. He was the best Bond (although Pierce Brosnan's doing a fine job) and great in movies such as The Hill, The Untouchables (even if the accent was a bit ropey), The Hunt For Red October, The Rock, Outland etc. He is a fine ambassador for his nation and the world's greatest living Scotsman by popular acclaim BUT what were you thinking Sir Sean when you made this pile of poo? Didn't you read the script? Or were you too busy banking the cheque?
1995	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Short on plot; long on violence for its own sake. I was disappointed in the way it ended; never getting Harrison Ford on Terra Firma. The only memorable line, "Get off my plane" didn't warrant a rating higher than two stars, and wasn't enough to make it worth watching a third time (I watched it twice to see if I might have missed further enjoyment, but I didn't). They cast Wendy Crewson; one of Canada's greatest actresses as First Lady, and gave her nothing to do but cower in the corner acting timid. And Glenn Close as Vice President was a commendable choice; if only she hadn't bowed to all the men, even the discussion over the 25th Amendment lacked the anticipation one might expect in the given situation. This film was cast w/ some of the greatest talents; its just too bad they were let down by what I feel was so weak a script.

Now, to what extent is this film historically accurate? Here also, reviewers have tended to go to extremes. In fact, the film is generally more accurate than the average film we are used to watching, whether Troy, Brave Heart, Gladiator, Robin Hood (both the older version with Kevin Costner and the one with Russell Crowe), Kingdom of Heaven. However, everything is definitly NOT historical. The Director has taken a number of liberties, as Directors always tend to do. For instance, the beginning of the film, where the farm of Joan of Arc's parents is attacked and her sister gets into trouble, to put it mildly, is one of these inventions. Is it a howler? Not necessarily, unless who require each and every of your films that take place in Antiquity or during the Middle Ages to be as historical accurate as possible, but in such a case, there are hardly any that you will really like. On the other hand, there are also a lot of cases where Luc Besson has stuck to the historical record as much as possible.
6526	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I just got back from seeing this film and it was way better than I thought it would be. I thought the first Resident Evil was okay, but Apocalypse is an even better action/horror film. This movie really flies by with an action scene occuring about every five minutes or so. This film is not brain candy, but eye candy like this is always a treat to me. The action scenes are well done even though the gore is tamed down a bit (don't worry there is still blood and tons of violence). Milla Jovovich returns and really plays Alice tough, yet sexy at the same time. Who would have thought a skinny model would make a great female action star? Sienna Guillory is even sexier in my opinion as Jill Valentine and I'll look forward to seeing more of her in the third RE film. Oded Fehr is a pretty good actor and will have you rooting for him and Mike Epps steals the show with some funny lines. I'd say almost everybody in the theater I saw it with seemed to say good things about it as they were walking out. I really didn't expect to like it that much, but I truly had a great time. I think it is just as good as the recent remake of Dawn of the Dead and the improved CGI over the crummier effects of the first film is a big plus as well. A must see on the BIG screen for all action fans who want to see two attractive female leads kick butt!

Milla Jovovich does her best acting thus far in this movie, carrying the movie that most action women can't do. She didn't do the 2nd movie justice, and didn't look as good either. But then, the whole 2nd movie was a mess. Bad B movie.

Overall, Resident Evil was an entertaining movie from start to finish as it had a little bit of everything, including a foundation for a sequel (which turned out to be 2004's Resident Evil Apocalypse).  I especially liked the scene transition using a digital schematic of the Umbrella Corporation's research facility known as the "The Hive."
I could never understand why the trucks secretly hauling scientific equipment are disguised as Piggly Wiggly and Baskin Robbins trucks. At that point they were still trying to figure out what cover story to get people out of the area with; maybe they were thinking of scaring them away with high cholesterol foods? I also find it hard to understand why there is a scene showing the volunteer astronauts wearing the special red suits as they go into a chartered bus. When sitting in what looks like a university auditorium, learning the hand signals, they are not wearing the red suits, but are singled out by having "special" seats off to the side. So why do they need the suits going into the bus in order to be visually singled out for the audience? The scene where the team members damage the expensive globe is a bit jolting, and seems a bit silly at first; but I can imagine they were planning to bring it back from the get go not realizing how big it was until they got to the county supervisor's office where it was kept, and so, instead of going back to get the coordinates and paper, they stuck to the original idea of just bringing back the globe for everyone to see, and thus infamously dropped it to the floor and rolled it to their destination.  True enough, when people wing it, stuff happens.

Our protagonist, an "Invalid," must use his human spirit--courage, love, tenacity, cunning--to transcend the strictures the government has imposed on him. More specifically, he wants to live out his dream of space travel, but he has to assume the identity of a "Valid," and the movie goes to great lengths showing us the pains our hero suffers in order to live out his charade. Thus the movie pits human character against blind faith in science in a film that, without ever preaching to us, shows the dangers of dehumanization in a world where technlogogy is supposed to lead us to Paradise.

This 80s horror classic boasts the standard teen tropes when, upon Charleys initial discovery of his blood-drinking neighbor, he starts yelling vampire to everyone (his mother, the police) and, not surprisingly, no one listens to this nonsense.  But thankfully his buddy Ed knows the tricks of the monstrous trade (for some reason; not unlike the Frog Brothers of The Lost Boys).  Also following the standard yet somewhat pleasing tropes of the time, his mother grants invitation to her very single fanged suitor (again, followed suit by The Lost Boys).

Without a word, the poverty, ugliness, and grim desperation of a world turned against its people fills the screen from the very beginning.  Bronson, looking out the open door of a slow-moving freight car, watches as a family, all its members and their meager possessions loaded into an old car, waits at a railroad crossing for the train to pass.  Where are they headed?  It hardly matters.  Despair prevails everywhere.  Where is Bronson's character, known only as Chaney, headed?  Same answer.

Wolfgang Petersen, that is a great name isn't it? He made The Boat, In the Line of Fire and numerous other classics. Well, is Air Force One really as good as his older movies? No, the answer is no.

Few Americans realize how close this nation came to losing its bid for independence from Great Britain.  It was Washington's bold raid on Trenton that resurrected the American cause.  Never before or since has our country been so close to utter defeat and needed a military victory more.  This film offers a detailed and entertaining glimpse at this incredible feat of arms.  Jeff Daniels is excellent in the role as our first Commander-in-Chief.  The production values are good as well.  It's almost like looking back over 200 years at an event as it was happening.  This docudrama is well worth the modest price that Amazon charges!

The climax of the film is one of the most intense in all of film's history, as well as one of the most brilliantly filmed. Taxi Driver is not only an aestetically pleasing movie, but also one of those that will have you pondering about it well afterward.

and ready to save the day. The story is not even cohesive in any manner,
Travis is not primarily seeking companionship or he would act differently.  Human contact is not his primary value. He looks desperately lonely to many viewers no doubt, and we tend to think what happened would not have happened if he were attached somehow to someone -- anyone...not seeing how desperate a belief that is.

One thing that I know is when a film is being directed by Wolfgang Petersen, the viewer is definitely going to be treated with an exceptional, action-packed film and "AIR FORCE ONE" is just that.  Even 12 years later and this film still holds up quite well.  Petersen and everyone involved in this film did a wonderful job and I have to say that this is my favorite Harrison Ford action thriller to come out in the 1990's.

1. 2 Original Trailers
The bulk of the story takes place during prohibition, and there is an element of that, and of the lawlessness it promoted, in the story. But that's not really what it's about. Norman goes east to Dartmouth, and Paul goes to college in Montana, then takes a job at a local newspaper. But those differences are not really what it is about either. There are women in their lives, good luck and bad luck, but it's really not about that, either.
Leo McKern, a well-known British character actor perhaps most famous internationally for 'A Man for All Seasons' and 'Shoes of the Fisherman', found this great role late in life, and became the quintessential image for Rumpole. He performed the role through all the episodes (presented in the UK originally starting in 1978, and continuing with a few gaps through 1992, and presented in the USA via the PBS Mystery series approximately the same time), joined by two different actresses portraying Hilda Rumpole (Peggy Thorpe-Bates and Marion Mathie), affectionately referred to as 'She Who Must Be Obeyed'. Rumpole's mannerisms and penchant for the less genteel things in life are done by McKern in a perfect contrast to the others in Chambers, be they Guthrie Featherstone (played by Peter Bowles as an upper-middle, Conservative-Labour MP QC) or 'Soapy Sam' Ballard (Peter Blythe), Claude Erskine-Brown (Julian Curry) or Phyllida Erskine-Brown ne Trant (Patricia Hodge).

One of the things that really blew me out of the back of the movie theater and my living room was the action direction by Alexander Witt. This guy really knows his stuff. This is his first feature, but he's done a lot of second unit action directing on films such as MISSION IMPOSSIBLE. RESIDENT EVIL APOCALYPSE is 90 minutes of non-stop action. There are some good John Woo moments in this, too. The bullet spray from the Nemesis' mini-gun is exquisite. Watching that concrete splash behind Milla Jovovich is sheer poetry. LOVING IT!!

You have to pay really close attention to understand what is going on - like about the Umbrella Corporation's invested interest in the hive - learn about the red queen (a hologram of an intelligent little girl) and why the T-virus was stolen and then set free in the lab.
The film begins with Umbrella agents in full biohazard gear opening up The Hive, with predictable results (The Hive was a ginormaous, underground research facility that was sealed due to contamination in the first film).  This leads to the T-virus (the contaminate that has the ability to re-animate the dead) to spread into Raccoon City, forcing the Umbrella Corporation, owner of not only The Hive but the city as well, to quarantine the city, sealing many uninfected residents with all kinds of walking dead, many vicious mutations seen in the first film, along with a few new ones.  Alice, joined by a small band of survivors, now trapped inside the city, makes a deal to retrieve the young daughter of a scientist in return for safe passage out of the quarantined area.  Only problem is, besides the legion of hungry undead roaming the streets and hideous, nasty, bitey creatures on the prowl, the Umbrella Corporation has ideas of their own, seeing the situation as a perfect opportunity to test out their latest bio-weapon, Nemesis.  Oh yeah, there's also plans to nuke the city...time is running out (along with their ammunition), for the small group, but they do have an edge, namely, in Alice, as she is more than she appears...

Such is the luck of the draw in Hollywood, as well as elsewhere.  Davis, of course, lived only to age 41 and died as one of the film industry's most notable AIDS casualties.  He did, actually, work steadily until shortly before his death.  But true stardom--assuming he actually sought it--eluded him, despite his talent and appeal.
The DVD for PAL JOEY sadly doesn't have much in the way of bonus materials, just a trailer and some talent profiles for it's main stars and director George Sidney.  Still, for musical fans this is quite the treat.  (Single-sided, single-layer disc).

Plenty of action and a great film for Bronson fans who are looking for something other than cowboys or vigilantes.
5987	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	The first Resident Evil surpassed my expectations and is actually an entertaining little zombie flick that I am proud to have in my zombie movie collection. Apocalypse started out awesome and then completely fell apart like 20 minutes in. This movie is just all over the place. When making a zombie movie, please stick to the zombies. We don't need to see the main character fist fight a cyborg/human/alien that carries a grenade launcher. Just shoot it in the head. The whole plot was just ridiculous. Im not even gonna try to explain it to you. This movie could have been great, they had such good material to work with. I cant believe they let it devolve into this mess.

Martin Scorsese uses many intriguing and unique camera angles and shots to tell this shady story; his direction really is quite good. I particularly like the long, over-head shot he used to conclude a violent scene at the end of the film.

The three attempt to rob local bookstores, stay in cheap motels with the money they don't really take (more like five dollar bills grabbed nervously here and there) and get the crap beaten out of them when they seriously try a successful caper. (The most successful one is when they semi-rob Anthony's mom's house.  His house.)
But I won't. Despite all its flaws, I enjoyed this movie. In terms of gripping action and terror, it delivers. If there's a sequel -- and you KNOW there's gonna be a sequel -- I plan to see it. So shoot me. Because you know I'll come back to get you.
Hats off to the late John Huston for making a film that the whole family really can enjoy.
NB. In fact, the third film was released direct to DVD under the title I'LL ALWAYS KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER (2006).

The only impressive thing about this film is the performance of lead actress Milla Jovovich, who seems to be the only involved in the movie who realizes this is based on a VIDEO GAME, not Shakespeare.  She did a great job considering the quality of the movie.  On the other hand, Michelle Rodriguez gives an eye-rollingly melodramatic performance as the token "tough chick."

Michael Crawford, if you remember him at all, is more famous for stuff like HELLO, DOLLY and for playing the Phantom of the Opera on stage (for which, to give him his just due, he garnered massive props). Crawford is skinny, gangly, boasts a non-heroic voice, and isn't who you first think of when drawing up the prototypical intrepid man of action. But he's good as the comic book creator/nerd with aspirations of derring-do. This is a Disney flick, so, it's certainly wholesome enough and its sensibilities lean toward the youngsters. A  film like this can get away with a character like Woody Wilkins, a "foolish dreamer who draws comic books" who then takes on the identity of one of his creations.
  Perhaps unsurprisingly it was every bit as intimidating, eerie, and tremendously entertaining as it was back then.
6131	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	I think we all agree that this 1987 classic romantic comedy is absolutely wonderful, entertaining, magic, funny and hylarious. The best romantic comedy for some, one of the best comedies of the 80's for others. Great story, incredible performance of steve martin , great production and artistic direction by Fred Schepisi.

966	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Julian Jarrold's adaptation shines not because of its faithfulness to the plot of the novel, but because of its effective use of character and mood. Both Abel Magwitch and Miss Havisham appear as ominous figures, much more so than in any other attempt to put Dickens' classic novel to film. Ioan Gruffuld's Pip, likewise, is more frightened as a child, more vulnerable as an adult, than we have ever seen him before. Estella is crueler and more beautiful. The mood throughout, from Pip's strange encounter in the graveyard, to his peculiar encounter with Orlick, to his final encounter with Estella, is often more grim, never more comic than the Dickens. A cloud seems to hang over everything, even its brightest comic moments, offered up in the movie by Wemmick and Herbert.

Before becoming an Adventist myself about 15 years ago, I had never even heard of Seventh-day Adventists. Even today, many other denominations are still confused about who Adventists are, even though the Kelloggs cereal company was started by Adventists as part of their medical/health evangelism. Don't take others people's word for it, check them out for yourselves, Adventists are in more parts of the world, have more schools, more hospitals, than any other Protestant denomination. Are some of their doctrines unique? Yes, but most assuredly they are Biblical. I personally had read the Bible through many times and wondered where the churches were that preached the Bible as written before I became an Adventist. Adventists are not "New Testament" Christians they are "Bible" Christians. The video does a great job of bringing out the medical-missionary work.

This is a movie that will speak to anybody who's found society to be nearly irredeemable, but is still compelled to seek a connection to the people within it.  Go get yourself "organizized", understand all that is you, and take it to the world at large in the way you see fit.  This character's plan of action is contrary to my very nature and downright psychotic, but as a fictional person in a work of art, his rampage is inspiring in it's purity.  Bickle's missions of choice are very different, but the same in that he seemed to seek to free the two women in his life from the thrall of two very different but in their own way powerful men. Travis may not have accomplished all of his goals in the movie or even consciously known what they were, but in his violent unfocused catharsis he does save the soul of young prostitute even as he abandons his own.  And even doing so in brutal fashion, he at least gains the respect of a woman he loves but will never understand.  Leave it to the media to turn a bloodbath into an act of heroism.

It's a classic and deservedly so, joined in general quality by the uproarious "Life Of Brian"!

4368	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Forget what the critics said.  This movie works beautifully on several different levels.  As an action spoof it is hilarious, with many in-jokes, gags and cameos.  As a fantasy it is ingenious with Austin O'Brien very  appealing as a kid with a "magic ticket" that can transport him  from the real world into the fake world of action films. And it works  splendidly as a send up of Schwarzenegger's movie image giving him a big  chance to do what he does best-poke fun at himself.  It also works as one  of the most original buddy movies ever.  There is a lot going on here and  it will take a few viewings to catch everything but that is what makes a  good movie good.  The action is wall-to-wall, no doubt, like many other  action films, good or bad.  The sequences are very well done but contrived,  just like many of those previously mentioned films. But they are contrived  for a reason-to spoof the genre.  Because a lot of people who originally  saw this didn't get it, it is, in this critic's humble opinion, one of the  most misunderstood films of all time.  That accounted for its bad reviews  and low box office.  But it is my belief that this was largely due to poor  marketing.  When Schwarzenegger (who served as executive producer) would  appear on television to plug it, he made a fatal mistake.  His description  of this as a family movie was wrong.  It is very violent, even though that  too is done for a purpose.  Imagine what a lot of parents thought when they  took their kids to see this and within the first fifteen minutes or so,  several people are killed or injured and there are gunshots and explosions  galore.  It is a mistake that to this day Arnold's career hasn't been able  to completely recover from. Be that as it may, you must see this film for  what it is and enjoy imagination and spoof at its finest.  You will not be  disappointed!

This is a savage, sometimes barbaric film that uncompromisingly exposes spirituality and warfare in a manner that most of us are unwilling to accept.

The plot is relatively simple: the gang are playing Arthur, Lancelot, Gallahad and others in the search for the Holy Grail.  Along the way Arthur has to use the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch to take out a killer rabbit while Gallahad (the Pure) has to be rescued from nymphomaniacs.  As a word of warning if this is your first time watching the film, the ending comes suddenly and you may be confused if there's more; when the music starts, the film is done.
By the time the film comes to its lyrically elegiac end, it has touched your heart and made you think. That is perhaps a good reason in and of itself to watch the movie. Personally, I'd even recommend getting the DVD, it's one you'll watch with kids or people who matter to you.

There's a thread connecting "SLC Punk," "Quadrophenia," "Easy Rider" and "Rebel Without a Cause." The protagonists are cut from the same cloth - different eras, same story. "SLC Punk" has also been compared to other films detailing punk rock, most notably "Suburbia" and "The Decline of Western Civilization." "SLC Punk" comes far closer to the emotional truth of this 1980s American subculture. I related to almost every scene, though found the ending to be melodramatic. Why can't characters evolve due to changes within rather than the tragedies of others?


Take this film for what it's worth, an entertaining adventure.

With that in mind, I was able to see the undertone of this story. First, for parents-as a kid I used to enjoy the annual showing of this feature. Now to the undertone:A baby, Santa Claus (capitalism), is abandoned on the doorstep of elves (industrialists). The elves are unable to get their product, toys, to town. When Santa grows up, he decides that he has to make the trip to town, but first he has to go through the territory of the winter warlock (socialism-regulation). Meanwhile, in town, the Burgermeister-who rules the town with all the zest of a communist dictator, has outlawed toys and set mandatory labor for all the kids in town (how commie of him). When Santa gets to town, he befriends the town schoolteacher (education) and is branded an outlaw for giving out toys (how capitalist of him). A cold war ensues between the burgermeister and santa with santa making an annual raid to pass out toys and foil the burgermeister. The end of this story explains well why communism doesn't work.

The transfers look great on my 51" HDTV, and the sound is fine given the film's age.  Over the years, I have bought a CLV Criterion LD, another version on LD that is a terrible transfer, the standard DVD, and now the Blu-Ray.  I have one complaint.  I don't like any of Spielberg's cuts.  I believe this would be a better movie if EVERY scene was present except the entry into the ship, which is a meaningless light show and which Spielberg was forced to do against his better judgment.  Why not offer a version with all the cuts present and allow the owner to deselect the unwanted ones?  The CAV Criterion LD offered that feature a quarter-century ago but at a $130 premium.  The nature of the cuts is such that the movie should still flow well.  Hence, four stars instead of five.

I thoroughly appreciated John Boorman's obvious commitment to realism on this movie. As the film opens up, it just jumps into the story right away, beginning immediately with the image of Toshiro Mifune sitting alone near the beach and Lee Marvin in the jungle, likely just recently dropped in by parachute. The movie wastes no time with set-up or any explanation as to how they both got there. We don't know and don't need to. The editing is done at a smooth, flowing, non-hurried pace which gives the movie a definite real-time feel to it. The scenery and cinematography of the authentic Palau locations is simply stunning and I'm rather amazed by how good this movie looks for its age. The picture quality and clarity of this film is jaw-dropping for a 40 year-old movie.

4068	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	Predictible, sob-story melodrama with a girlfriend agenda to boot! I'm surprised that Sarandon went anywhere near this, it's such a boring Hollywood take on the mom vs. younger girlfriend scenerio. Should be understood that this screenplay was originally written by real-life stepmom Gigi Levangie. I think Gigi had an agenda to push. For once I'd like to see Hollywood come out with a film that sings the praises of original moms, not younger-model girlfriends, and makes these original moms the attractive, healthy, mentally-sound very cool and sexy women they often are in real life. Let's give them the happy ending--they make the world go round! If you like soap opera drama-rama or you're a younger stepmom/girlfriend who wants justification and wants to demean the original mom/wife (I'm not an original mom or first wife, BTW, just an annoyed viewer), you'll think this is a great film. Otherwise, this is one to skip.

Needless to say, John Malkovich, Vincent Cassel, Dustin Hoffman, and the rest of the cast have truly outdone themselves with their performances, which are outstanding to say the least!  All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (the chemistry is AMAZING)!

The addition of Jill Valentine to the mix was an inspiration.  To tell you the truth, she's hotter than Milla.

4.) Content. The two-disc set is loaded with features. The best of these is the "View From Above" setting, which shows you interactively where scenes differ from the original 1977 version. A text sentence and small image are displayed when something differs, giving a terrific, at-a-glance look at the differences among the three versions of the film. With three versions, it's hard to keep all the changes straight just looking at the included full-color, printed chronology but the on-disc version of this is stellar. Simply the best presentation I've seen.

The story is about two free spirits (Fonda and Hopper) on a motorcycle trip from Los Angeles to New Orleans. Along the way they hook up with a drunk (Jack Nicholson) whose performance provides some of the most memorable scenes in the movie.

It's particularly enjoyable to watch the whole series and see how the characters developed.  Leo McKern griped to people toward the end of his life that the only role he would be remembered for would be Rumpole, but it was his own fault.  When an actor takes a character, makes it his own, and almost becomes it, then he has nobody except himself to blame.

2. As a result of the lack of scenes with Pip and Estella, we hear secondhand that she's unhappy, and we only hear Pip say that he's in love. The editing/screenplay is so choppy that we never hear why or how. I guess we are to assume from 10 minutes of the movie that Pip loves her madly because she is pretty and treats him very cooly.

The movie explores the emotional issues we all face with in life when we don't put our past behind us and when those problems are not dealt with in a professional setting. "The Prince of Tides" is one of the best films I have ever witnessed. Nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, "The Prince of Tides" lost in every category in 1991 as that was the year "The Silence of The Lambs" swept the Oscars. Barbra was also ignored by the Academy for Best Director, an omission I have never forgiven the Oscars for. How could a film win seven Oscar nods and overlook its director? Nevertheless, "The Prince of Tides" is a superb film you will enjoy over and over. The DVD is barebones and doesn't come with any extras.
After the incredible success of Easy RiderThe Wild Angels, starring Peter Fonda, The Glory Stompers, starring Dennis Hopper, and Hell's Angels on Wheels, starring Jack Nicholson, were packaged and re-released on a triple bill. I'm sure all of those movies are available from Amazon as well.
Lead Travis Bickle (Robert DeNiro) is an insomniac Viet Nam veteran who turns to driving a cab at night to make a few extra bucks (he may have a disability check, but that's never clear) and to try to relax his spirit a little. In pre-Guiliani NYC circa 1975, it's not a good move. The city is crawling with hookers, pimps, dope addicts and general filth. As Bickle motors away his evenings, the atmosphere begins to rot his soul and exacberate his mental condition.
 In all of the Rumpole episodes we get the sense of purpose and duty of what Rumpole is trying to do.  He wants no titles or honors.  What is important to him is that justice is indeed served.  He is an educated man who does deserve the qualification such as QC in his title.  In retrospect what Horace really wants is the title of the true defender of the common man.
1401	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	I love the series but already own first 4 seasons and have been waiting YEARS for rest of series.  Now they only offer as full set.  I will not be buying the full set to get only the last two seasons.  I hope no one buys it so that the company gets the message that this is an unfair practice.  Makes me not want to order any more season sets of any show because they release a few to get us hooked then expect us to buy the whole series.  Kind of the same thing with Diagnosis Murder.  I guess it's bad form now to buy individual seasons and better to just wait until series has run it's course and wait for a "whole series" release.  I'm tired of getting burned by buying early seasons only to be duped in the end when the final season are not individually released.  We need to send a message to the people making these DVD sets.

6452	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Streisand's semi-controversial adaptation of THE PRINCE OF TIDES may not have completely satisfied fans of the book, however, the general public fell instantly under the film's hypnotic spell - and turned it into a surprise box office smash! The decision to keep the film's focus in the present rather than the past results in the elimination of most of the novel's lengthy backstory. However, the well-condensed script (written by Conroy himself and Becky Johnson) manages to seamlessly fill in the missing information, and allows all central characters to reach a level of character development that is unusually high for a mainstream Hollywood film. As the film progresses, these characters seem especially real, and they are embodied by an absolutely flawless cast.

6741	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I've been a huge fan of video game-based movies from "Super Mario Bros" to "Mortal Kombat", but I strongly think that "Resident Evil" is one of the best game-based movies out there.  The monster in the film looks like something from "The Relic", but without the eyes, and it's absolutely terrifying.  The mutant dogs were pretty graphic too, but just as cool.  The cast (Milla Jovovich & Michelle Rodriguez) does an excellect job playing members of a commando unit, sent in to investigate a viral outbreak that turned all employees into zombies.  I wonder how the sequel is gonna be like!!!
Spielberg's direction is top-notch and sincere, proving that his previous sucess was not a fluke.  Much like his other alien film, "E.T", "Close Encounters..." provides  a symbolic theme that is far more significant than what the aliens look like or what planet they came from.  With the peformance of Dreyfuss, Spielberg is able to to show that it is okay for all of us to return to the kid we once were, and to explore all of the questions that we all want answers for.  A true spectacle of a film with superb special effects, a wonderful musical score by John Williams, and a child-like charm that is for the whole family.

Although I have read the story of Joseph, this film brings it to life and reinforces my understanding of it. I thoroughly enjoyed the film which was very well done.


Petersen and screenwriter Andrew W. Marlowe never do explain Gibbs' motivations for his subsequent actions (as the director admits in the audio commentary track), but by the time audiences start asking those "real life" questions about plausibility, the sheer adrenaline rush provided by this action-packed film suppresses the "yeah, right" response to its premise.  The Air Force (which willingly participated in the production of this film) says there is no escape pod in Air Force One's list of defensive measures, and viewers know that no sane person, whether terrorist or not, is going to fire automatic weapons inside an airborne plane unless he or she knew the mission was going to fail anyway.

There are several releases on VHS, laser-disc, and DVD. All in all a terrific show, I highly recommend.
When I first watched "Bottle Rocket", I thought it was an excellent (hilarious, surprising, brilliant, inspired) film, but one that obviously lacked the polish needed to propel it to "Rushmore" status. I hate to admit it, because it's so superficial and pedestrian, but it's true. Boy, was I wrong.

Along with wonderful performances, much credit must go to the cinematographer, as the landscapes are beautiful, especially the wide shots of the western scenery.  They are truly breathtaking.  And the music used was exceptionally good, fitting each scene and helping to create the proper mood throughout the film.
But somewhere along the way, this collection of medieval skits became one of the best comedies ever made. You could credit the use of authentic sets and costumes. For some reason, making the movie historically accurate makes it funnier. Or you could credit the way they used their painfully low budget --- like using different sides of a castle to represent multiple castles in the story. If you notice it, you get an extra laugh. Or you could credit the use of two directors, forcing everyone to get it right the first time to avoid two sets of solutions to every problem.
I liked this, but having the one set, and no men, tells us more about the women. Seeing M'Lynn in the hospital with her daughter makes the impact of her telling her story to her friends much less.

Be your own judge there.

This film, along with Star Wars revolutionized not only special effects but blockbusters in general. I've never seen another film that weaves both music and special effects so beautifully.

5041	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I didn't think the music soundtrack has held up as well as the rest of the film. It's Gothic in sound, almost like a B-movie from the 50s. But that's what Scorcese grew up on, so maybe he meant it to be that way. DeNiro is classic here, as is Jodi Foster at age 12. I had forgotten about the Cybil Sheppard side plot. Harvey Keitel is a howl as the coke addict pimp. Nice hair. The film looks great in its current incarnation. It's a piece of art. See it.

8826	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	He don't talk much, doesn't Charles Bronson. Clint Eastwood, by comparison, is considered a chatterbox. First time director Walter Hill puts Bonson's trademark laconism to very good use in HARD TIMES, probably my favorite Charles Bronson picture. HARD TIMES strays from Bronson's shoot-'em-up formulas, although it does have its share of action sequences. But this film is more a gritty period piece and a low-key character study. Its enigmatic central character plays to Bronson's tight-lipped, no-nonsense persona. Some folks don't think Charles Bronson was much of an actor. But his spare performances always led me to believe there were hidden reserves, something of consequence going on, beneath the inscrutable expression and the lack of loquaciousness. To me, this translated a subtle depth to his characters, that merely by Bronson's weathered presence, a back story is intuited.
The extras are fine and they're mostly on the technical side (why wouldn't they be?). Milla Jovovich is absolutely beautiful. Despite the fact that we are dealing here with game characters, I do think that Milla gives a great performance. Furthermore, I do think she is capable of taking higher flights in the future. Aside of that, she is someone the camera trully loves.

6219	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I think that I like this movie more than the original, but the original is still great.

Ethan Hawke takes the leading role as the imperfect man, and he gives the performance of his career. While hes been typecast now in deadbeat-Dad roles, Gattaca reminds audiences how he started his career, as a handsome, likable leading man. His inner conflict is palpable through the screen, and in the many scenes that threaten exposure of his true identity, audiences are nearly tortured with tension.

The inaccuracies in the film are of little consequence since its essence is Washington.  His audacious crossing of the treacherous Delaware on Christmas eve in the depth of night, completely surprising battle-hardened, but hung-over Hessians, helped turned the tide of the war at a time when America's victory teetered on disaster.  Daniels creates a man, not a myth, giving him just the right amount of stiffness and caring for his men, and a determination that would win the very long war.

Despite a predominately youthful cast, this is definitely not the average cookie-cutter teen horror flick.  Writer-Director Tom Holland's boy-who-cried-wolf script is both humorous and scary, and he has ingeniously employed all the typical conventions of the vampire sub-genre in fresh and interesting ways that sidestep the cliche.  This, combined with outstanding special effects and top-notch performances, helps rank FRIGHT NIGHT among the cinematic vampire classics.
Julia & Susan work so well on this film together, that I can't imagine anyone else in their roles. Their love/hate relationship is so good, you actually believe it. The cold stares (something Susan's fabulous at!) make you shiver. And the crying, god, as soon as they start, that's me. Watch out for the conversation about the wedding, if that doesn't get you going nothing will.

Gary Oldman, master of a thousand accents, convincingly plays a ruthlessly brutal Russian Terrorist who wants one of his comrades released from prison. Only the president can call in favors to get this done.
As companions to this series, I would like to recommend the "Berkeley Square" Series and Stephen Poliakoff's "The Lost Prince." Both of these can be had here at Amazon. There is no doubt that "Berkeley Square" had its roots in "Upstairs Downstairs." To see "Berkeley Square" is to extend the enjoyment after viewing "Upstairs Downstairs." But to get a better understanding of the political situation of the time period, I would recommend Stephen Poliakoff's "The Lost Prince." This is considered to be one of Mr. Poliakoff's best works. I guarantee that "Berkeley Square" and "The Lost Prince" will not disappoint. Both are BBC productions.

3116	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	This is one of those movies that is on the AFI's "Top 100 films of all time" list. In my opinion that list is bogus. Only about a quarter of the films on that list deserve to be there. I don't think Easy Rider is anywhere close to one of the top 100 films of all time. Easy Rider seems fairly pointless. Billy(Dennis Hopper) and Wyatt (Peter Fonda) drive around on their choppers, pick up a hippie, and drive around some more. That sums up the first half of the film. Don't get me wrong, it isn't exactly boring, but it isn't exactly a great story either. To be honest this movie doesn't really have a story.
One of his pals, Danny is one of the movie's strangest characters. Danny is literally covered from head-to-toe with tattoos and body-piercing. He defines the term "body art." His whole body is like a big collage explosion.
But the film is very good in it's own right too. Wolfgang Peterson creates a heavy feeling of tension, Ford a likeable hero and Oldman as Korshunov, a rotten villain who was actually quite scary. The film is also very well put together technically. The editing and sound is top-notch, though some of the CGI is way below par for your average blockbuster. The R-rating helps. If this were made today it would be PG-13 garbage, but the blood spatters, swearing and body count make you believe that ANY character could die next.
A lot of the latter part of the film dealt with the romance (and eventual marriage) of Norman and local belle, Jessie, played by Emily Lloyd, whose stand-off-ishness drove Norman crazy before he got his chance at a professors job at the University of Chicago and she agreed to marry the guy. It also dealt with the demise of Paul who seemed to have been stricken with the mark of Cain and was eventually murdered and left to die in some back ally for what could have been any number of reasons from serious gambling indebtedness to drinking to hanging around with Native American women. So maybe in the end the only thing idyllic back then were those beautiful rivers and the joy some took in fly-fishing against the hard realities of human existence. Excellent film though with a good ensemble cast and great cinematography. Robert Redford did good, did very good on this one.
2369	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I love this movie, I'm 23 and was a teen when these girls hit the airwaves, I love them, I love the movie, it's great for teen girls I think (be careful just a little adult humor), buy it!
Plus, it helps that the cutesy elements are kept to a minimum.  There's Melinda Dillon as a single mom whose oh-so-adorable-with-his-big-eyes kid gets kidnapped by the UFOs; the scene is played for scares, rather than laughs and it is genuinely terrifying.  Neary's kids are mostly unpleasant, and gone after the halfway point.  Dreyfuss downplays Neary's potential drippyness and plays up his frustration and rage as circumstances overwhelm him.  And Garr is very believable as Neary's doubtful wife; she keeps the character from becoming a one-note shrew.  You actually sympathize with her as she deals with what she thinks is her husband's selfish midlife crisis.
2442	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	As seeing the title, I expected a really tough action movie but it wasn't.

anarchists like the Marx Brothers.
But, there is always Jack Nicholson.  His performance is one of the best supporting performances of all time.  It is slick with wit, intelligence, bravado and profound sentiment.  He ties together a lot of loose ends about the `meaning' here, without ever feeling out of place or forced.  His charisma is in tact and his humor is just what this film needed.  I won't demean him by using the phrase `comic relief', but I will say that he spices up a film in dire need of some `spice'.
James becomes an officer and sees combat and the horrors of war. James eventually returns to Eaton Place after the war ends, but is unable to cope with his "new" life or reclaim his "old" one, so he ends it by his own hand in the former safety of the family estate.
The film Close Encounters of the Third Kind for the most part takes it's subject literally and doesn't seem to be a metaphor for something else. It's a good film that makes you think about the possibility of extraterrestrial life. There's a great line in the movie where Richard Dreyfuss, while speaking to a government official, tells the official, "You can't fool us, by agreeing with us". Close Encounters shows government officials dealing with the public in a secretive and less than open and upfront way. Shouldn't government just be more open and honest, and about the people? Of the people, and not the elites?
Highly recommended!

Gattaca takes an interesting and almost-plausible science-fiction path and for the most part, pulls it off.  In the "not-too-distant-future" world of Gattaca some "God-children" are still conceived the old-fashioned way, but those who can afford it have technology-enhanced test-tube babies with as many imperfections screened out as their parents can afford.  Eye-glasses and heart disease are not present in the "valid" population.  In Gattaca Ethan Hawke portrays Vincent, who was born the old-fashioned way.  Discrimination is technically illegal in this society, but not enforced, and "In-Valids" like Vincent can only aspire to menial jobs like janitor.  Vincent dreams of flying into space.  In this world Gattaca is a private corporation, and I don't know what else the company does, but one of the things they do is fly into outer space. Vincent begins at Gattaca sweeping the floors, but he has a plan...

Outside our own range of experience, we can only guess at some of the things that are going on. You may be thinking  about getting a divorce, you may be flirting with the idea of a separation,  but until you get in there and do it and live it, you really have no idea  what it's all about. Is it possible that films like "Stepmom" can help us  make wiser decisions? Wouldn't it be nice.

Absolutely awful, this edition manages to restrain the impact of the movie with all the worst features of the fullscreen edition: Extreme close-ups, alternate or moving angles from the same take, chopped off characters from the scenes, people talking to shoulders and corners, people talking from outside the picture, missing scenarios and landscapes, blurry video quality... my god!

 The commandos realize they'll have take down a powerful hologram-based AI known as the Red Queen, because she controls the whole Hive and they suspect she's insane. Entering through a glass corridor we get to watch as most of the team is cut into meat by lasers, including the grid laser seen in the commercial. But they wimp out- we barely see Number 1 cut into giblets Sylvester-running-through-the-chain-link-fence style, and get a semi decent slow motion decapitation. Now, in my mind, after the first laser had passed and killed two of the commandos, the next obvious move would be to roll a couple of grenades down the hallway- made entirely out of glass!! Instead, no, everyone dies, leaving only Alice, three commandos and a ineffectual cop to deal with it all.

4394	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This is probably my favorite Christmas special or close to it. When I saw that it was on dvd I was going to buy it right away, but sadly I found out it's heavily edited and extremely over priced. So I found out the UK region 2 version of the movie was the full complete version for less than 20$. It came in less than 3 weeks and it was coming from the UK going to me here in Ontario Canada, so not bad at all. The only thing is for anyone who knows about dvd's knows that region 2 dvd's will not play in a region 1 dvd player, which is North America. What I did was copy the movie onto my computer, got rid of the region codes and burned it onto a disk and it played perfectly on my dvd player. So if anyone wants a full complete copy of this movie this is your best bet. Oh and I forgot to mention that you can find the dvd on amazon.co.uk in case if anyone didn't know that.

Young people of any generation usually think they know everything anyway, so why bother. But there was a time before the internet and cell phones, and easy rider is a strong youth statement from such a time. The movie making itself might seem dated, but the impulse behind this film is real in a way that 10 Fast and Furious sequels cant match. And this movie will always be a snapshot of rebellion; from the real life pot smoking done on camera throughout the movie, to an acid tripping Peter Fonda hating his mother out loud in the graveyard sequence (his real mother took her own life when he was a boy.) Theres plenty to be critical about in easy rider from a technical standpoint, but as a low budget attempt at capturing a larger cultural mood of rebellion at that moment, it does quite well.

4339	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	You've probably read this film's plot description already, but let me sumerize it briefly just to comment on it: Austin O'Brian is a huge Swartzenagger fan. Arnie's latest films (acording to this film,) are the Jack Slater movies, which (presumably) came out right after Terminator 2. Danny idolizes the character Jack Slater, a fictional L.A. cop, in the same way that so many of us idolized Han Solo. Then one day Danny's personal friend Mick, an elderly theater projectionist, gives him a magic ticket that was given to him by Houdini, just before Danny gets to watch the latest Slater film all by himself, before anyone eles does. (Jack Slater 4). Danny watches as the film introduces the two bad guys, who've kidnapped Slaters cousin Frank. The scene shifts to two nameless cops (who of course are sure-fire dead meat) who come to Frank's house after getting a false call about a drug deal. Slater arrives and wonders why they're here, he goes in and finds Frank tied to a chair, Frank gives Slater one last message before dying, Slater sees a note that turns out to be a count down and gets out just before the house blows up, the two red shirt cops...well, need I even say? A car full of dynomite-weilding bad guys drive up, Slater gets in his car and the chase is on! Then something strange happens. A stick of dynomite comes out of the screen and lands in the theater! It blows up, and Danny finds himself in Slater's car, now a character in the film!

4443	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is a very good sequel to the hit 1997 movie I Know What You Did Last Summer and, in my opinion, is a very under-rated movie. Instead of making this movie almost exactly the same as the origional, as most horror-movie-makers seem to do, this movie has a totally different setting to the first - a holliday resort in the bahamas!
"Midnight Express" explores one man's time in a hellish Turkish prison.  The tension of being caught and then beaten in prison are so well captured that you almost don't want to look.  One scene that comes to mind is when Davis is hung upside down and beaten so bad, you can almost feel it.

For actioneers it's even better.  lottsa fun.  Eat popcorn, press play, enjoy.
The other story that is not being told is the origins and destructive objectives of organizations such as Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).  The founder of Planned Parenthood was interested in eugenics, and specifically in reducing the number of Blacks to survive being born in this country.  Efforts by the ACLU to remove prayer and the Bible from school are shown to be in direct conflict with the statements by the founding fathers about what they considered to be essential for a proper education that would equip the youth of this country for effective citizenship.  The redefinition of marriage to include homosexual relationships is shown to be tearing at the fabric of the traditional family, and of the stability of our society.

If there is one subtle complexity this pleasant evening's entertainment it is gal pal Shelley Duval as the not conventionally beautiful Dixie. Dixie is  was friendly and supportive and beloved by none. Love wins over looks just not always. And just in case you think this movie is about subtle complexities there is just enough physical comedy, slapstick and associated silliness to keep you in cheap laughs. Perhaps Steve Martin insisted on these last few easy giggles just in case there was not enough of his clever writing.

Finally, this movie is worth watching just to see Roddy McDowall's performance.  The entire cast does a great job, but McDowall really stands out as he plays a washed up actor.

McDowall is so expressive and believable that the movie gains a depth that another actor might well have failed to deliver.

As Barbara G. Walker and others have pointed out, the Grail is actually a representation of the Womb of the Great Mother, from which we all came, and to which we shall all return. Like Finnegan and Bloom/Ulysses, The Fisher King's two heroes find salvation in the simplicity of surrender and in the almost Faustian embracing of the Sacred Feminine, as embodied by the two female leads. Carrie Moss's Trinity (The Triple Goddess) also provides this transcendent nurturing to Keanu Reeves's character in The Matrix.
8284	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	When considering my review about this show there are items that would sound less than positive, like my feelings for the pompous Sam Ballard, who acts more like a modern day pharisee than a true Christain or the nagging wives and the womanizing barrister/judge.  And then there is Rumpole himself who drinks too much, eats too much and smokes too much.  When I first began the series I thought Rumpole to be a grumpy old man and I had to laugh the first time I saw John Mortimer with his huge Adam Ant glasses.  But as I watched more I went from laughing at Rumpole and Mr. Mortimer, to laughing with them, to enjoying their company and finally to becoming friends.  The stories are very well written and Leo McKern is a perfect Rumpole of the Bailey.  I may not want to become like Rumpole or encourage my son to use him as a role model, but I would like to have him as my friend.  By the end of the show you have a warm feeling for Rumpole and his creator and you have many fond memories.  At first I questioned the high marks that others were awarding this show but now I echo them.  If I knew Shakespeare better I would give an appropriate quote to summarize this review, but as it is, I will leave that to my friend Rumpole.

Even though I've not changed my opinions about the former films, I thought I'd give LAH one more try.... I was unfortunate enough to find a DVD copy in the horrid & worthless pan & scan format.. albeit, it was only $1... Turned it off after 2 minutes in.. You know, had this been a 1.85:1 film & it was "full Screen", I could have worked with that and adjusted my HDTV to make it 1.85:1, but this is not the case with this film & most of the DVD's that Sony now releases in the 1.33 ratio...
8880	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Tough guy Charles Bronson often copped plenty of criticism over his selection of roles and his alleged one dimensional character range. True, a lot of Charlie's choices were "shoot em 'up" avenger / crime films that ended up on video shelves fairly quickly, but Bronson was a key figure in the 1970's action genre and will be remembered for some stand out "strong, silent type" roles. "Hard Times" is generally regarded as Charles Bronson's best film role and is director Walter Hill's first feature film. Set in the Depression era in and around New Orleans, Bronson portrays the quiet , but toughened drifter Chaney, seeking to make ends meet through the prowess of his fists. After drifting into town aboard a freight train, Bronson hears a commotion emanating from a near by warehouse, Bronson then witnesses a bare knuckle bout and first meets James Coburn as the smooth talking, street wise, but addicted gambler, Speed. Bronson offers his services, to which Coburn replies "You look a little past it...", Charlie proves his worth with a one punch knockout of an opponent and the two partner up and set about winning a few dollars taking on local fighters and hoods. Coburn enlists the services of Strother Martin, who gives another wonderful character performance as the narcotic loving, disgraced medicine man Poe. The chemistry between the three is excellent, and remarkably Bronson's laid back persona is in stark contrast to the highly animated Coburn, but they work together like bread goes with butter !
Fortunately enough, though, the crews in charge of this new DVD didn't stop there. With a full two discs in the set, almost every base is covered... in addition to several spots in between. The discs come fully equipped with two feature-length commentary tracks; one from directors Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones, and another from John Cleese, Eric Idle and Michael Palin. The commentary tracks are both thoroughly interesting, with the directors' chat a little more insightful and the actors' track more disjointed. Jones and Gilliam reveal a lot of obscure facts about the creation of the film that I hadn't realized, such as the involvement of rock bands Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin in the production, and is generally a much better listen than its partner track. It's strange, it almost feels like Cleese, Idle and Palin weren't even in the same room together when they recorded these audio tracks, and that various comments from each were merely spliced together at appropriate points throughout the film.

To say Last Action Hero was rushed is quite an understatement considering John McTiernan did such a marvelous job depicting Bruce Willis and Sean Connery as two badass heroes in two brilliant written stories. If your a Schwarzenegger maniac go ahead and pick it up. But if your looking for that "movie within a movie" premise, skip this and check out Wes Craven's A New Nightmare.

Everyone will appreciate this wonderful story of forgiveness, but those those who are looking for the 'hidden things of Christ' cannot miss the poignant messianic threads which are so skillfully woven through the life of Joseph. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Writer/Director Paul W. S. Anderson really had his work cut out for him when releasing this movie.  With previous video game adaptations failing at the box office, many movie-goers and critics were highly skeptical that any video game franchise could translate well onto the big screen.  Understanding that his biggest asset would be to not assume that everyone knows the source material, i.e. the video game, Anderson crafted a story that stays true to the video games, even feels like it could have come from any of the video game installments, yet also stands on it's own as a separate creation.  The actors are all very talented, and all give solid, realistic performances that serve to raise the movie up from being a simple video game adaptation and/or zombie movie into a truly suspenseful thrill-ride that doesn't require any knowledge of the source material so that all movie audiences can walk right into the theater and be on the same page in terms of what's occuring in the movie.  The special effects work for the most part is very well done, a few scenes are a little weak, but I understand that the studio might not want to risk breaking the bank on a video game franchise that isn't a guaranteed success at the box office.
In its theatrical form, The Avengers was a jumbled, murky and incoherent mess that made hardly any sense no matter how hard you tried to figure out what exactly was going on. My friends and I saw it for free back in 1998 despite the fact that it had not been screened for critics (always a terrible sign) and left the theater with a very bad headache, wondering what in the hell we had just been subjected to. The worst sin that this movie commited was that besides the bizarre teddy-bear costumes (I'll get back to those later on!) this movie isn't even enjoyable on a so-bad-it's-good level.

Jude Law plays the grating, spoiled Jerome, showing again that there's more to a man than the meat he's made from. Ethan Hawke does a good job as Vincent, always a moment from discovery and from being stripped of that world's highest rewards. This isn't an action movie, no guns or chases, but good suspense.

Will Travis rescue Iris from a life of being a woman of the night? Will Travis be able to control his urges to use his guns on real people instead of keeping his outrage in the realm of fantasy?

Malkovich had a peach of a part as the dastardly, conniving Dauphin, but played it amazingly straight, with nary a hint of the cheeky chappie the role was crying out for. What would Alan Rickman have made of it, I wonder. Or even Bruce Willis?

To this day, the image of Fonda and Hopper (neither of whom knew how to ride a motorcycle before making this film) careening helmetless down the open highway to the tune of Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild" defines the American biker motif more clearly than any Hell's Angel could ever hope to."

The scenery alone is enough to send chills down your spine. Add to that the killer soundtrack and Jack Nicholson's star making (and in my opinion, his best) performance and you've got yourself one hell of a film. Easy Rider (Directed by Dennis Hopper) is the story of two hippie bikers who take a trip on their motorcycles down to the Mardi-Gras festival in New Orleans. Along the way they stopped at a hippie commune, end up in a parade, and spend the night in jail before finally making it to Mardi-Gras. Where they proceed to have themselves a good old time ...

The film is a series of isolated "sketches" loosely strung together with animated sequences or simple captions.  As is true for many great comedies, there is no proper ending to this film, dramatically speaking.  The Life of Brian is a step forward for Monty Python in that respect.  But Holy Grail has some of the most ridiculously funny hair-splitting logic serving as "dialogue," and its slightly daft intellectual atmosphere is  unique even among Python's other works.

Ford's presidential protagonist is basically Indiana Jones in a suit and tie. The filmmakers rely on Ford's action hero charisma to compensate for the lack of depth in his inadequately sketched head of state. Shrewdly, they shift gears to the parental side of the chief executive. Ford's best scenes occur before take-off when he asks about his favorite football game. Although Marshall emerges as a cardboard politician, it's his "Die Hard" courage that wreathes him with laurels. Unlike those wimpy Jack Ryan movies "Patriot Games" and "A Clear and Present Danger," Harrison Ford's hero here kills the villains. The bad guys don't slip out of Marshall's clutches and conveniently impale themselves on sharp objects. (Remember the way the "Patriot Games" villain died?) Marshall runs up a body count, kills with a machine gun, snaps necks, and slugs it out with rough and tumble adversaries. Ford is one of the few male box office stars who can shed tears (when Ivan threatens to pull the trigger on his daughter) and not make it look schmaltzy. Ford manages to maintain a stiff upper lip throughout "Air Force One" and his scenes with bad guy Gary Oldman crackle with electricity. Ultimately, however, Ford's performance qualifies as serviceable, nothing truly special like the cop the played in "The Devil's Own" (1997).

That is a rare perspective and the acting ensemble does a masterful job at driving their characters.

This practice of genetic stereotyping has lead to a new kind of crime, one where a person of impeccable genetic make-up but who has found themselves a victim of fate due to a permanent injury or such, can broker their identity to a natural born person,  supplying that person with various blood and urine samples, strands of hair, flakes of skin, allowing that person to pose as a 'valid' individual, and garner a choice position in corporate society.  Jude Law plays Jerome Eugene Morrow, a superior individual who suffered a crippling accident and has now agreed to sell his identity to Vincent Freeman, in exchange for Vincent supporting the lifestyle Jerome was accustom to prior the accident.  This involves a very elaborate daily routine by Vincent, including a complete scrub down of his entire body to remove any 'loose' material that could possibly be found, analyzed, and give him away.  In order for Vincent to pose as Jerome, he must carry on him samples of Jerome's blood, urine, and other identifiers at all times.

Finally, "My Son the Genie" (Episode 74), has Bob Denver visiting the Nelsons as Harold, an apprentice genie who has to spend the day with Jeannie to complete his training.  The problem is that the President of the United States is coming to dinner to congratulate Tony on his latest trip into space and Harold insists on making the dinner.  Wackiness ensues, as you would expect with any sit com on which Bob Denver appears.  For fans of Jeannie this is one of the better tapes available.
Many viewers consider Series 1 (1903-1909) the least successful.  (Most of this series was not aired in the U.S. until many years later.)  It had a lower budget than subsequent series; and, due to a technicians' strike, the first half dozen episodes were filmed in black and white.  Writers, directors, and actors were still trying to set the parameters for the program.  As a result, this series includes several strange stories; and some characters (especially the footman Alfred), lack credibility.  Some performances are too loud, too demonstrative, and poorly choreographed.  Many of the stories in Series 2 (1908 - 1910) provide various perspectives on marriage; others deal with problems created by a superannuated nanny and by Elizabeth's suffrage activities.  King Edward VII is a dinner guest in one episode; and this series ends with his death.  Series 3 (1912 - 1914) witnesses the arrival of Hazel Forrest as Richard Bellamy's secretary, and her marriage to James Bellamy.  Lady Marjorie having died on the Titanic, Hazel assumes the management of the household.  She eventually overcomes downstairs resentment; but her middle-class outlook leads to clashes with Richard and James.  This series ends with the outbreak of World War I.  The war casts a shadow over Series 4 (1914-1918), which many consider the best.  The Bellamys take in a family of Belgian refugees, James Bellamy and footman Edward join the army, other members of the household take on war-related duties; and a local baker, of German descent, becomes a victim of anti-German hysteria.  The war impacts the household in various ways--the staff must dine on ersatz meat and potatoes, James comes home severely wounded, and the house is hit by a bomb.  Series 5 (1919-1930) deals with life in the 1920s.  Richard finds happiness with his new wife Virginia.  But old values are challenged, as the younger generation engage in wild parties and other reckless behavior, aided by such new technologies as autos, airplanes, and motion pictures.  As a result of the stock market crash and the Depression, both upstairs and downstairs residents must leave Eaton Place to start new lives elsewhere.

Boukreev who was Fischer's lead guide, is shown in a fairly unflattering light.  There's of course controversy on this. If you read the survivors accounts, certain of Boukreev's clients said they didn't want to be alone on the mountain with him, because they felt he wasn't responsive to their needs. Of course, Boukreev had a different perception of a guides duties.  But when he was heading down the mountain he blew past clients that could have used his help, and as for his activities during client's acclimatization, Fischer was reported to have bitterly complained to his business manager that Boukreev was not attending to clients. So while the movie over-dramatizes that conflict, there really was some basis for it.  And it also reportedly left Fischer overly stressed and overworked, which perhaps left him underacclimatized and contributed to the edema that killed him.  On the other hand, even if too little too late, after the clients failed to return, Boukreev went out and saved many lives.  Still, I think the script was overly hard on him.
The movie is never boring. Instead, even though it's not a film like Star Wars with ray guns and explosions, it's fast-paced and interesting. It takes its cues from actual UFO sightings and other unexplained mysteries (such as Flight 19, the 5-plane training flight that disappeared off the coast of east Florida in December of 1945) and ends up with a realistic scenario for a "close encounter" between humans and aliens. The acting is excellent, and the young Spielberg got great performances not only from Dreyfuss, but also from Teri Garr (Veronica Neary), Melinda Dillon (Gillian Guiller), Francois Truffaut (Lacombe) and Gary Guffey (Barry). Also adding to the magic was composer John Williams, whose 5-note musical phrase became famous as the proof that music is truly a universal language.

I advised my group of the quirkiness based on other Amazon reviews, but that didn't dampen my group's response to the videos.  Each of us thought they were well done and very infomrative.  We all agreed some were better presented than others, videos number 2 and 6 stand out as being quite exceptional, but overall every one of the segments had merit.
That said, I still think this is an enjoyable film, so long as you enjoy it in its own right and don't compare it to the book.  Both Ciaran Hinds and Samantha Morton commit to their roles with passion.  Like the characters in the novel, neither is conventionally beautiful; they are riveting because of the emotional force they bring to their parts.  At times, Hinds was a little too gruff as Rochester, but it never went over the top; he looked the part of Mr. Rochester and in my opinion acted it incredibly well.  And Samantha Morton is luminous - she may wear plain clothing and sport a ridiculous hair style, but she shines.  I did dislike some of the belabored dialogue the screenwriters introduced though.

4073	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Julia Roberts is becoming the stepmother of two kids who are absolutely partial about it and do not want to give her the smallest space in their life, preferring their own real mother. Divorce is not an easy matter and remarrying is even more difficult for the children. But a stepmom has to learn how to become and be a real mother, has to learn how to capture the children's attention, interest and trust. This is done especially because the real mother has cancer and is going to die. When she realises this she stops fighting and helps the stepmom to be accepted by the kids because she has to give way to her since she is going to go and leave forever. The relation between the two mothers, the real one and the step one, is explored in great details and is very convincing. The kids are also very good and full of feeling and true emotion. The father is mostly on the sideline and certainly not the center of the film, but after all the stepmother is the star, the stepmother who is being born little by little. Emotions and feelings are uppermost in this film that becomes some entertaining and also thought bringing two hours.

After some introductory comments from the mailman, who delivers to the North Pole in a snowcat type vehicle, we see the credits spelled out on mail envelopes, with a stamp representing the actor listed. Inside the envelopes are question from children around the world about Santa. "Where did Santa's suit come from?", and more, so that the show can proceed to show where Santa got his start and why things are the way they are. In a sad vilage named Sombertown, ruthlessly run by the Burgermeister Meisterberger, toys are outlawed. On the other side of the mountain, elves are raising a human orphan boy, learned in the ways of toymaking. But a scary Winter Warlock has prevented them from delivering toys across the mountain. Whenthe boy grows up he is givent he name Kris Kringle, and he determines to deliver the toys. Arriving there he meets Ms. Jessica and falls in love, but Kris is arrested for the toys. After his escape he runs into the Winter Warlock, and must find a way to deal with him if he is going to deliver toys. Without giving any plot away, Kris has to find creative ways to smeak the toys to the children and avoid being captured again by the soldiers. Along the way we see how traditions like hanging stockings, using the chimney, delivering at night, making reindeer fly, and a nice/naughty list got their start.

"Midnight Express" was an instant classic as soon as it was released in 1978.  Little was known about Muslim countries and levels of freedom, if any.  This film showed just the amount of freedom people in a westernized Muslim country received.  Istanbul is both in Europe and Asia, a large, cosmopolitan city, so it's that more of a shock to encounter a prison like the one Billy ended in in this beautiful city.

And I would definitely recommend it for any little girl (6 and above).
Nothing but contrivance for this film as well, bringing us the same, tired situations that its characters dwell in, going over the same old routine until we feel like we've seen every horror movie known to man. Ben Willis was supposedly killed in the ending of the first, and even if he's alive, he missing a hand. Not a problem. Slap a new hook on him in place of the severed hand, one that's permantently attached, so he can kill quicker and easier. Now the characters need to be placed in the most vulnerable of positions at key points in the movie. All taken care of; just send them to a secluded island paradise that is about to experience a major weather crisis. Need a couple of simple characters for extra bloodletting. Hotel management: 'nuff said. Are you seeing a pattern here?

And thereafter Besson unwisely tries to have a bob each way.

However, Mr. Vincent will not be played by and elderly man, so I think that won't be as interesting. Also, this will be in an over-populated place (Los Angeles, I believe) and that is not preferred. In the original, it took place in 'Anytown, USA'. That gave it a better atmosphere, thinking that it could happen in any common neighbourhood much like the one you're probably in. I hear that Chris Sarandon, who played Dandridge in the original, is supposed to have a cameo in the new flick and that would be cool (yet, most assuredly, it will be too small a part). I hope that the FRIGHT NIGHT theme from J. Geils Band plays a lil' bit somewhere, too...perhaps on a radio station in someone's car? Lastly, concerning the remake, I'm hoping that they re-release the original and the sequel with more features. Specifically FN2 as its cost is ridiculous.

In my attempt to fully familiarize myself with this man's work, I dug back a few years to see where it all started.  In 1996 he teamed up with Owen Wilson to flesh out a short film they had released two years prior.  Thus, the careers of both these men were born.  Wilson went on to gigantic fame, thanks to his chemistry with the camera and his knack for playing the lovable loser, but his collaborations with Anderson show a depth to his talent that other directors have yet to tap into.  `Bottle Rocket' is a blast of a film that shows all of Anderson's promise and potential, and while it is certainly rough around the edges and lacks the glossy veneer and visual grandeur that he brought to his later films, the gritty indie quality adds a layer of likability to the film.


If there is a reason to watch this movie,its the sound design,which really shines in DD 5.1 mix included here. I don't know if its because its only audio track and has thus been given more room to breathe or what,but this is one of the liveliest mixes I've head in quite some time. The front soundstage is very wide,with dialogue always coming in clearly from the center and excellent panning and directionality across the mains. The surrounds are active throughout,whether they're carrying echoes of gunfire,the moans and shuffles of zombies,or the annoying numetal soundtrack. Check out the showdown with the lickers in the church early on for a good example of what I'm talking about: As the creatures crawl around on the ceiling,stalking their pray,the mix track their progresses from left surround to right surround and into the front channels. Very Impressive.

2417	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	The Spice Girls have proved all critics wrong and although individually their vocals are thin and lack range and power, they have made some instantly memroable recordings and likewise their solo releases have been fairly good too given to prove that you don't really seem to have to have much singing power these days. This film is little more than extended concert footage with silly and painfully unfunny sequences linked to them. None of the girls could act their way out of a wet paper bag but i'm sure they don't care as they certainly made lots of money from this. Fans will be delighted whilst others will just gauge at how dross like this can be made and earn big money.

6700	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Milla Jovovich is astonishingly good in her performance as Joan of Arc. The supporting cast is excellent as well.  Cinematography, sets, costumes are all perfection. Mystical sequences are suitably bewildering...are they from the mouth of God or madness? The seemingly endless battle scenes, the thick dark brutality of 15th century warfare, the ruthless machinations of power and betrayal are filmed mercilessly to great effect. The blunt, relentless savagery bludgeons us as we are plunged ferociously into the fray, urged on by a frenzied, schrieking berserker with an angel's face. Regardless of whether you prefer to see Joan's story as myth or history or a combination of the two, this film is a powerful depiction of the mayhem and miracles of martyrdom that can occur when an individual's voice of conscience and reason are lost in the blast of an angry god's screams of retribution. Whether manufactured by religion, manipulated by the state, morphed from some secret personal madness, "holy war" has never been the work of the Creative and Loving Spirit that moves the Universe. Suffering and the horrors of war come from people. I didn't see this film when it was in the theatres, but saw it on VHS three years later.  It stikes me that the people behind the 9/11 tragedy, the people who clamored for the death penalty the moment the D.C. snipers were caught, the kamikaze pilots of World War II, and all those down through history who call upon death with a righteous voice have a little of Joan of Arc within them. Who spoke to Joan...the God or the Satan of her religion? Or were the voices from the deep well of her own psyche twisted and turned about by the times in which she lived? Can it be that Bin Laden and Joan of Arc are cut from the same cloth? When will it end? When will it ever end? This movie asks powerful questions that need asking today more than ever.
Character growth, loss, tragedy and triumph are the themes of this season, as the characters are greatly affected by the trials of world war I.  I highly recommend this for fans of this time period, or fans of BBC drama. I particularly liked the character arc involving Edward the footman, and the arc involving Hazel Bellamy. This is truly an excellent series, I am sorry that it was ended after the fifth season.

4364	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	John McTiernan's "Last Action Hero" is always looked at as one of the big flops in modern day cinema.  The truth is the film is a lot better than a lot of people are willing to admit.  In Woody Allen's  "The Purple Rose of Cairo" a desperate women falls in love with a  character in a film she watches who just happens to jump out of the screen.  Well it is basically the same sort of formula only a kid gets in on the  action of the latest Schwarzenegger film, "Jack Slater 4" yet  befriends the character and not the actor who thinks all of it is real and  not a film.  True, it is not as bittersweet as Allen's movie but I don't  find that to be a flaw.  It is a very fun movie and it was very enjoyable  the whole way through.  Arnold Schwarzenegger does a great parody of  himself as Slater who spits out one liners during violent conflicts.  I  even found Austin O' Brien to be a fairly decent child actor in this film  and that is a rare suprise in this sort of a film.  The film is also backed  by a great score of hard rock music from AC/DC, Alice in Chains, Megadeath  and more.  John McTiernan and Arnold Schwarzenegger suffered heavy blows  with this film.  True, it was not either of their best work but I think the  critics were way too cruel.  Its should not be viewed as a failure but as  an enjoyable action adventure that it is.

The highly persistent (if not entirely insane) Dignan, played by Owen Wilson  has got to be one of the most memorable character portrayals in any movie  I've ever seen.  The slow pace of the movie makes everything just right  (you won't be blown away by special effects, unless you consider an  altogether cerebral script pyrotechnic) but you will come away from this  movie with a sense of adventure and a deep desire for one yourself.  The  fact that this movie is practically a remake of an earlier project adds  even more to its appeal.  The caper scenes are hilarious, the dialogue will  make you think as well as laugh, and you will come away from this movie  with a new appreciation for film making in general.  It's not all about  explosions after all.  And you will find yourself scaring the hell out of  your friends when for no reason at all you start screaming "Ka-Caw,  Ka-Caw!".

3466	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	This film is boring. In 1977 these special effects with all the electronics activating themselves and the giant spaceship coming down must of been earth shattering but viewed now it is a slow, disjointed mess. I know the guy playing the Frenchman is a legendary director but having the character be French means nothing, and is especially confusing to follow. Why is a French UFO hunter investigating missing American WWII planes? What?!? It goes on from the as we transition from one drawn out scene to the next. The characters are all flat, Dreyfuss is underwhelming and after his encounter, he has visions which cause his wife and family to split. I never cared about any of the characters, they were one dimensional and stereotypical. It just goes on too long. This is a slow plodding film with no rhyme or reason that just doesn't hold up. Save yourself 2 and 1/2 hours and skip this. After Jaws, Spielberg was the it boy and they gave him carte blanche and he gave them an alien encounter movie. He did much better with E.T. but this one not so much.

But the humor was so tongue-in-cheek so often that it probably didn't bode well with the average action-junkie film fan. "Last Action Hero" made fun of itself as it unfolded, and one would need a certain sense of humor to fully appreciate it on its intended level. I dare say that most folks who went to this film just didn't "get it". Too bad for them.

It is a pity that this DVD contains no documentaries surrounding this Oscar-nominated movie, but the movie itself more than makes up for the absence.  The Prince of Tides is a pure joy to watch, an emotional experience like no other.  For viewers who were raised in a dysfunctional family, the film is particularly meaningful:  it will inspire you to let go of past hurt, learn from it, grow stronger, and set yourself free to love yourself and live a happier life.

Visually it is stunning - a virtuoso work.

One of the most classic lines coming out of this film is De Niro staring in the mirror, gearing up with his guns, snarling, "Are you talking to me?"
Paul is a rebellious, golden-haired youth. His rebellion starts early when he refuses to eat his porridge. He gets into a fight with his older brother Norman, but all is forgiven. The next day, Norman watches his little brother break free of his father's "four count rhythm." He has rebelled into something courageous and original. Though despite its own unique beauty, its gracefulness is different than Norman and his father. It has less control. He calls it "shadow casting" later in life. Like the "shadow casting" Paul's life has less structure than Norman's.

The interview accompanying the movie as a Special Feature is very informative but too long, an hour.  We learn that the teenage prostitute that Iris is based on is really in the movie.  She is the girl who is with Iris.  She looks like a drugged out whore, and that's what she is.  She looks like she has dead shark eyes.  I've seen lots of junkies with those same dead shark eyes.  Iris looks very innocent by comparison.

Although it is known that Washington had a temper, especially in extremis, most of the time Daniels' Washington comes across as merely petulant or even bitchy.

The flick doesn't have much acting in it, just a lot of action and ... whooping. Milla Jovovich is capable as an action heroine. And she is far superior to the acting of Ms. Academy Award Winner Angelina Jolie in last years debacle known as "Tomb Raider." A film I affectionately refer to as "The Complete Piece of Crap I Saw For Free Last Summer And Still Wanted My Money Back." Back to Resident Evil, Michelle Rodriguez expands on her resume of bad ... chicks with this flick, she offers the much needed action hero one liners because Milla spends most of the beginning of the flick regaining her memory. Eric Mabius is cool, and looks to be seeing more of the RE franchise. Did I say Franchise? Yeah guys there will be a sequel, the cool epilogue at the end sets it up and had the audience fired up.

The DVD looks to be a little thin on extras', which is too bad; I'd love to know more about how they staged those fight scenes. A film this old that has not quite made the bargain bins in price, means the demand is still hot.  It usually means it's worth adding to your personal collection for repeat viewings.

The Bob Newhart Show is one of those "must have" comedy classics.  I can't help but laugh at Bob's subtle, uptight, quirky humor, paired with Emily's playful goofiness.  A great tv marriage!

7605	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Only in the seventies could a glossy, overblown film like this be so good.  And it is..in spite of its excesses.  Faye Dunaway, fresh from her Oscar turn in NETWORK, plays Laura Mars, a fashion photographer specializing in grotesque murder images.  She also can "see" the murderer of several of her models while he or she is committing the foul deeds.  Conveniently, the script doesn't address just how Laura got this "psychic ability."  But it doesn't matter as it makes a  compelling device when she joins the murderer via satellite.  Rene Auberjenois chews up the scenery as her manager/agent, whose foppishness and over the top emoting are delightful to watch.  Tommy Lee Jones, in one of his first big-screen features, plays the dashing detective John Neville, who falls in love with Dunaway and tries to believe her psychic witnessing.  Director Irving Kershner keeps the glamour and glitz going with some deft mood swings.  He gets good performances from his whole cast, although at times Faye seems to be auditioning for her later role in "Mommie Dearest," but she pulls back enough to keep her performance interesting.  Jones is smooth, although his youth hinders some major transformations in the film.  And definitely the costume designer had her work cut out for her with all of the fashions Dunaway wears.  But it's the glitzy seventies and the mystery holds your attention, so that Laura Mars emerges as a gripping and entertaining whodunit.  Also, it has the stunning "Prisoner" sung by producer Jon Peters' main squeeze then, Barbra Streisand.

Having never seen the movie, we rented it as soon as we got back home. Everyone had a reason for watching it in two segments--mine was my sense that this was one of the "cutest" movies I'd ever seen, and I'd had quite enough "cute" lately, especially after sitting through Will Smith in "Hitch". The accents and the caricatures of the characters were all so thick that it reminded me of The Beverly Hillbillies, though more embarrassing than funny. One "Hillbillies-like" moment that pretty funny was the few non-female characters' effort to shoot some "crows" out of a tree so that they won't "**** all over the reception". Their creative use of a crossbow is a classic.

Take Romero's excellent movie, "Day of the Dead" (the third and last film in his zombi trilogy), add to it a big budget, plenty of computers and special effects and a couple of female stars, in order to grab the required audience, and you get that kind of predigested movie, that you forget as soon as you see it. The story is practically the same: a handful of characters trapped by a bunch of zombies in a closed, underground place, and who quickly slander each other for survival. "Resident Evil" is unfortunately typical of today's American action cinema: it's empty, noisy and brainless, in one word, standard. More than the story, totally trivial today - the virus theme has been told a hundred times, and in better, especially in "Twelve Monkeys" and in Richard Matheson's founder novel, "I am Legend" -, the biggest default of this film is the total lack of gore scenes, which is paradoxical for a zombie movie and the symptom of a politically correct U.S. cinema. Milla Jovovich is not very comfortable, the music, uselessly hard, is deafening and brings bad headache (but this is the fashion today), the beginning is totally taken from Vincenzo Natali's "Cube" and the ending, from John Carpenter's "In the Mouth of Madness".
Just as good as the orgional, this movie is not one to miss. It is as scary as the orgional and a bit gorier too. This movie also features an appearance from Jack Black and Ray (Freddy Price Jr) is also back.
Sure, there are plenty of action movie cliches, like guns which never require reloading, heroes who are never seriously hurt, and characters who can do amazing physical things. And every bad line you can get into a movie is here. But it works.

For those of us who fell in love with the original novel celebrating the ways in which the fishing proclivities of these two brothers framed the outlines of a wonderful story about coming of age, and the tragedy of personal misdirection, this film adaptation by Robert Redford strikes a responsive chord. As he did in "the Natural' and also in "The Horse Whisperer", Redford uses the staggering beauty of the natural environment to emphasize in boldface the ways in which each of us makes decisions as to how to conduct ourselves in ways that either foster our own development and growth, on the one hand, or to take a more sinister route, on the other.

Air Force One is a great movie.  It is fast paced, full of action and you almost instantly identify with the characters, especially Harrison Ford, as we have seen him play the president so many times that it is instantly believable.  It is true that many of the details of the movie are obviously fantasy, such as the mythical escape pod (that doesn't exist on the real Air Force One), the ease with which the terrorists boarded the plane, and the constant firing of weapons on the plane without ever puncturing anything important, but the director is so talented and the cast so believable that you don't really think of any of this until after the movie is over.

These critics normally aren't gamers or fans of the source material, so how can they be an adequate judge of the tastes of gamers? I'm a huge fan of the Resident Evil game franchise, the very person these critics believe that will enjoy the Resident Evil films. But I DESPISE these movies. And why, do you ask? Because they really aren't much like the games at all. Oh sure, there's a mansion, zombies, zombie dogs, a "Licker" creature, and the malignant Umbrella corporation. But aside from those aesthetical similarities, the film bears little resemblance to the games.

As months pass, the family attempts to cope with the  horrific reality of their situation and the film promises to become an  insightful study of the effects of the loss, fear and guilt that  accompanies the disappearance of a child. But then the film goes agley as  it moves ahead a decade and the child is miraculously discovered living a  mere few blocks away, happily ensconced with a man first thought to be a  kidnapper then revealed as an innocent pawn in an abduction scheme gone  awry. As the child moves in with his "true" parents, the  screenplay settles into a bland T.V. movie formula, in which each character  must act out his or her customary little drama with little heed given to  believability or originality. Instead of exploring the various stages a  family goes through in the wake of a devastating loss, the film cheats us  by coming through with an unconvincingly upbeat resolution. It becomes  quite clear that the filmmakers are far more concerned with jerking out  tears than with providing a truly thoughtprovoking exploration of its  theme. This is a shame because the actors (especially Pfeiffer) handle  their roles admirably. Only Whoopi Goldberg, in a totally thankless role as  a compassionate investigator of missing children, seems hopelessly miscast.  This film might well have been a labor of love for her (and indeed for  everyone involved), but for the audience, it only makes one sigh over how  much better it might have been.
2526	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	One of my all time favorites. I have watched this movies countless times over the years and it never gets old. Each and every time I watch it I get so attached to the characters lives and the bonds that they share. Timeless!!!

Blu-ray Audio Quality  In similar respects, the 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack is decent all around, but not quite exceptional. 'Last Action Hero' had the distinction of being the first movie released theatrically in the SDDS 7.1 audio format, Sony's competition for Dolby Digital and DTS. The latter debuted a week earlier with 'Jurassic Park' and stole most of Sony's thunder. Many of the theatres equipped with SDDS experienced technical problems; for several years, and the format was referred to as a complete failure. In order to show off their 7.1 channels, the film's mixers loaded up the soundtrack with lots of zinging directional and surround activity. Bullets whiz all through the soundstage repeatedly. Even as mixed down to 5.1 channels here, the track is still very aggressive. It also matrixes well into 7.1 configuration with Dolby ProLogic IIx processing. Overall fidelity is pretty good. The rockin' score and songs on the soundtrack are satisfyingly broad across the front channels. Sound effects such as knives are quite sharp and piercing. Gun fire has a nice kick. Dynamic range is a little on the shallow side. The movie has plenty of explosions, but few of them dig particularly deep. In baseball terms, this would be a solid double.

5234	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Taxi Driver is infamous for its violence and its connection with the John Hinkley attempt on Reagan. Its also famous for starring a young Jodie Foster as a prostitute. However, the real driving force in all of this is one man's loneliness and alienation. Travis Bickle is a young frustrated alienated man. At the beginning of the film Travis is lonely, then when he meets Betsy (gorgeous young Cybil Shepherd) he feels that there is hope for him. One memorable quote is: "I believe one should become like other people". He's probably thinking that he can have a significant relationship with Betsy, marriage family perhaps. Unfortunately all that is destroyed when Travis takes Betsy to a porno movie on their first date. Travis is so socially clueless that he has no idea that this is offensive to a girl like Betsy. Afterwards he tries to make up with calls and flowers which are all ignored. That starts Travis' madness. At first his plan is to assasinate the political candidate that Betsy is working for, in an attempt to perhaps get back at Betsy. WIth that plan gone awry Travis turns to saving teen hooker Iris(Foster) from her pimps. A bloody gory battle that is an incredible climax. So potential policitical assasin Travis turns into heroic vigilante who frees teen victim. The movie can easily be interpreted as a violent nonsensical film by people who don't understand what it is to be lonely. But for the millions out there who do understand, Taxi Driver is an incredible unforgettable film.

1346	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	After recently seeing a Bob Newhart performance at the Wilbur Theater in Boston, in which Bob received two separate standing ovations, I decided to finally buy the complete series box set of "The Bob Newhart Show."  Therefore, I have no problems with the earlier releases of the first four seasons of the show.  In addition, although the video quality isn't of high-definition quality, the episodes are eminently watchable.  All problematic issues were soon forgotten after I started watching the show.  Bob Newhart was one of the first successful stand-up comedians to star in a TV sitcom.  That started a trend that continued with Tim Allen, Ray Romano, Jerry Seinfeld, and many others.  In addition, the show was not cancelled by CBS because of poor ratings.  After six successful seasons, Bob decided that is was time to end the series.  The writing on the show perfectly suited Bob's personality and comedic style.  The casting choices were uniformly excellent, especially with Suzanne Pleshette as Bob's wife Emily.  Special mention must be made of Jack Riley as Bob's patient Elliot Carlin, who appeared in 56 of the 142 episodes.  To say that he is an unforgettable character is an understatement.  The box set also includes an informative booklet, which gives a brief synopsis of each episode, along with its original airdate.

I am a huge fan of Bob Fosse, and Ann Reinking is one of his best dancers, however for this film, her taltnents were not shown. She was miscast for the role of Miss Farrel.
This movie is a fast action movie with Harrison Ford as a president who knows how to stand up and fight.  The movie contains several plot twists and good special effects that will hold your interest in the storyline.

1) They didn't go far enough.  The movie has much less gore than you would have thought a movie like this would have.

Jack, realizing that their lives are intertwined by that tragedy, seeks redemption by trying to help Parry resume a normal life. Clearly mentally ill, Parry's battle with his inner demons is seen through his eyes. The viewer is made to feel the heartbreak and pathos of his fears which are brought to life in the fearsome visage of the Red Knight, a figment of Parry's imagination who appears intermittently throughout the film, until it gives way to Parry's fragmented recollection of that fatal night three years ago. Robin Williams portrayal of Parry is one of the most beautifully nuanced performances ever. That he did not win the Best Actor Oscar for which he was nominated was truly a major faux pas on the part of the Academy.

9651	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	We're actually getting there, we just can't sequence the genome and interpret it as fast and as routinely as in the movie. At present, hospitals are already using exome (basically all the DNA sequences that code for proteins and miRNAs) sequencing quite routinely to find the causes of Mendelian diseases, but whole genome sequencing and analysis for common diseases affected by numerous genes are still challenging in the clinical setting mainly because of challenges in data analysis. Also, at present, in reality, predisposition to some diseases that are late onset is not allowed to be tested in children to protect them from being alienated by parents, and patients can choose not to know incidental findings in their genetic testing result in case they can't handle them. Furthermore, insurance discrimination has not occurred. So while the technology is getting there, to the best of my knowledge, the policy is not (while I'm a molecular biology major, I'm really not very literate in policy). Gene determinism is false; there're the epigenome and environment affecting the phenotype, including how likely you will get a disease. Identical twins can get very different when they're old because of that, and for common diseases, genetics is only part of the story. Even for cancer, the epigenome still has a role, like when DNA methylation silences tumor suppressors even when they're not mutated. Don't underestimate the effects of the epigenome and environment, and there's no gene for the human spirit!
The structure of the film is a little disjointed at times and not really condusive to an action film, but it's forgivable as the action scenes more than compensate for this. The explosions are big, the conflict violent and complex, and the drama convincing.  In this respect I'll give "R.E - Apocalypse" 8/10 for action and drama, but 6/10 for the structure. It's just what I felt, so don't take it as an attack on you if you enjoyed the stucture. Conversely one could say that the disjointed structure merely heightens the drama, so perhaps structure deserves 7/10. But it's your choice and opinion that inevitably matters.

The part I saw was near the beginning where Milla mysteriously wakes up in a shower in a mansion.

Y'know Paul, sometimes we WANT endings to our films. We want to be able to have that last sigh of relief when a film ends. We want to feel like something is concluded. We DON'T all want to be left hanging at the end of everyone of your films. Every once and a while is fine, but not EVERY movie. That kind of crap makes me wary of wanting to see the future releases of Driver and Necropolis.

5453	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Sometimes it occurs to me with a jolting shock that I've seen a lot of films in my life. Many of these, like this one, were with my roommate in college, who was a certified movie freak. Although I forgot about it until I recently bought it for myself, one of the movies I liked a lot back circa 1999 was SLC Punk. As it rapidly segues from hilarious to touching, tragic to gross, ultimately SLC Punk shows it has a message beneath its surface noise, and it says a lot as it unfolds. At its center SLC Punk asks the question "is buying-in always selling-out?" To translate that for the uninitiated, that means is following cultural norms always a betrayal of personal identify and youthful dreams? Stevo and his best friend "Heroin" Bob (who ironically never touches drugs and is terrified of needles) are two young men living in uber-right wing Salt Lake City during the mid-Reagan years. They do their best to be hard core punks in a time and place where that pursuit separates them from just about everyone else in their Mormon dominated society. Steveo, though, is more than he seems. Amid his binge drinking, ambushing of local rednecks, and philosophical asides on the healthiness of personal anarchy, Steveo, it turns out, is a brilliant student who has the chance to get into an Ivy League college. His father, a smooth-talking Yuppie jerk, does his best to persuade his son to accept the Harvard education open to him, even as the life Steveo believes in proclaims that path to be the ultimate in "selling out." Along the way between its memorable opening scene and its closing credits viewers of SLC Punk meet a cast of characters that includes a rebel who disguises himself as a conforming prep, a trust-fund Eurotrash psychopath, a hippie Wiccan woman, and, well...one case of skin infection so bizarre it even stumps medical science. SLC Punk is worth seeing, owning, and heck, even spending ten minutes reviewing on Amazon.com. So go get it. Go get it now.

4094	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Stepmom is definitely NOT your usual cliche'd movie about divorce and how it affects the children involved; it's MUCH, MUCH more!  Emotions run high throughout the film and the bitter tension, jealousy, and friction between  the characters is so strong it's almost palpable!  The acting in this movie  is excellent; the dialogue is so believable, that you almost feel like  you're evesdropping on real people's lives!  My opinion?  If you haven't  seen this movie yet - you REALLY, REALLY should!  (Just be sure to have a  box of tissues handy.  You're going to need them)!
The setting is modern, but what makes "Taxi Driver" into an eternal classic is its dark and tragic sense-of-life. Scorsese's movies would never be so darkly hopeless after this one; Even the gruesome "Goodfellas" had a much more lighthearted touch (if you can believe it).  This would also be Bernard Herrmann's last score.  In fact, he died just hours after recording the last bars of the score on a Hollywood sound stage.  It is a fitting swan-song for the movies' greatest composer, and a greater loss for Hollywood than they'll ever realise.

DeNiro is perfect as Travis Bickle, a hyper-alienated borderline sociopath, a psycho who never noticed his descent into madness. He rides around the city all night, and as all his attempts at human connection fail, he obsessively looks for purity in a depraved world, first with a young political aid, later a 12-year old prostitute. The prostitute, Iris, is played with remarkable candour by a young Jodie Foster.
But the subplotting lead me to see this as a silly teen movie.  The lesbian aspect was tripe, but I realize that were I in her (Dominique's) position at her age I wouldn't understand something like that either.  The other characters were shallow, and it wasn't all that swift a story line otherwise.
the story is about a corporation named umbrella doing bio weapons research without the public knowing about it.
And all that before I mention the film itself! What more can I add? You all know how side-splittingly funny are the scenes with the plague village, the French taunter, burn the witch, the oppressed peasant, Sir Galahad's rescue of the prince in the tower, brave Sir Robin, the knights of NI, the killer bunny,  the bridge of doom etc.  I'm undecided whether this or Life of Brian is the funniest movie ever made but whatever, this is a must have purchase and the best value for money DVD in my collection.

What is up with that? Most great directors make one or two horrible movies. This is Marty's absolute worst. Don't waste your time.
6318	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	This movie is more base on the video then the first movie was. I have to say the action is better on the second. The woman name Alice doesn't feel or function like a human. She jumps high dodging the missle shot by the mutanted nemesis.

I watched both of those movies Ian let me borrow over the weekend of April 10, 11, 12, 2009 right on the heels of having watched EASY RIDER just weeks before. The amazing amount of similar themes running through all three of these films is impressive. All three of these movies express a preference for wandering and wonder over worrying and war for the characters involved. Each of them seems to express the plight of characters dealing with their own, personal rejection of the reality of petty worries and war (The Iliad), and choosing, instead, a life of venturing forth into the unknown world of wonder and wandering (The Odyssey). The characters in all three of these movies depict a great love of adventure and a great joy of being out on the open road. Jack Kerouac, author of ON THE ROAD, would have loved all three of these fantastic films, especially INTO THE WILD, as he was a great lover of the books of Jack London. Also, they all have a great, cinematic and panoramic, wide-angle viewpoint of the world. Watching these films gets one out of one's own head and puts one right into the world of the film. The scenery in all three films is stunning and absolutely breathtaking. The viewer is immediately projected "into the wild" world (if you will) of the characters. It's intense! You get taken along for a ride that goes not only far and wide out into the world but, also, deep into the hidden spaces of one's heart and mind. All three of these films will make you think about your own life in particular as well as the greater meaning of life in general. They are deep, psychological films that demand conscious labor of intellectual thought and emotional soul searching on the part of the viewer. You get taken for a ride, but it is definitely NOT "easy!"

... The overall film boasts a loud, aggressive soundtrack replete with heavy bass and ear-splitting treble, becoming aggravating and obnoxious without ever attaining our interest. There are innumerable amounts of quick jolts, in which undead zombies jump onto screen to a beat of the music; the abundance of such tactics quickly grows tiresome and redundant. The antagonists themselves, from the sleep-walking zombies and inside-out Dobermans, to the clich-riddled monster that can change form and attain the strength of its victims, do nothing to raise the fear factor, providing more laughs than scares.

1681	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	One of the very best TV dramas ever made, enjoyment of it is almost totally ruined by appalling picture and sound quality. I have no idea what "digitally remastered" means, if this is the result. It's a disgrace to charge almost $250 for a product this inferior. I actually thought my copy was a bootleg, made by some bloke pointing a digital camera at a TV screen -- it's that awful. There is also a constant "shadow" track on the audio, which sounds as if someone has a radio on in the background. Just disgraceful. Avoid.

This set has excellent behind-the-scenes extras, including the classic 1977 Watch the Skies featurette that was shown in cinemas (finally transferred here in HD!), a complete 1997 retrospective produced by Laurent Bouzereau, and some new interviews with Spielberg, also produced and directed by Bouzerau, that shed new "light" on the whole project.  A must-have for any serious cinephile.
This is one of my favorite dramatic comedy films starring two of my favorite female lead actresses. It makes me laugh and cry every time I see it. This film is so relevant to today's families showing that children and parents don't have to choose sides and that all members can have an enriched involvement if everyone chooses to give a little, accept one another's uniqueness and realize that life is a rocky road no matter who you love. If you haven't seen it yet I highly recommend you do so and if it's been awhile then definitely revisit it.

When he delivers a funny line, he's usually half naked, his eyes are bulging out of his head, and he shouts it at the top of his lungs so that everyone can hear him.  Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with Will Farrell.  I mean, I personally don't find him that funny, but I know a lot of people who do.  I just want to use him as a point of contrast.

I am not a fan of Nick Nolte.  I never have been and never will be.  He has really only delivered a few (countable on one hand) good performances, and this is not one of them.  His over-the-top delivery of Tom's emotions is comical to say the least.  He has one good scene, when he finally breaks down and exposes his past.  It's the only scene where his emotions seem real, and it's the only respectable `scene' in the film (which ends up getting ruined by the overly sentimental `cry in my bosom' closing).  Streisand is better than Nolte, but too clichd.  The only good acting comes from the supporting cast, notably Blythe Danner (who is sorely underused) and Kate Nelligan (who received an Oscar nomination for her performance).  They are not enough to save the film, but they at least prove to add some interest to their scenes.

I like Spielberg's third Director's Cut the best, except that it excludes Roy at the power station in the beginning which was shown in the 1977 original theatrical release version.  This scene was important, to show why Roy chooses not to show up for that job anymore after his initial UFO sighting (the job was thankless and his bosses were real A-holes).

Unfortunately the discerning viewer won't find much of any of those qualities in "Resident Evil: Apocalypse". What they will find is a mildly entertaining spectacle of excess. There is enough tension to keep you watching, but when it finally ends and your mind recovers from its numbness, you will wish that you had not bothered.

I like the concept of the film.  I like that it is mathematics, including music, that creates a universal language..

His days are filled with regularity, and he begins to inspire a hate towards the city, which he regards to be filled with disgusting garbage (He's right for the most part)that needs to be washed away.

But Lillard really gets a chance to shine in SLC Punk, a movie that my teens (neither of them into Punk music) couldn't stop watching...again and again. Lillard is an authentic, uniquely original actor, able to contort his already strange face into a series of even stranger, but oddly watchable, expressions while throwing himself into his role.  Even if you hate Punk music (I'm not a fan of it myself) and find yourself put off by teens who dye their hair red or blue, pierce various parts of their body and act in random and seemingly random ways, give this one a chance. The story of teens who don't fit in and feel out of place and restricted by living in Utah, who yearn for freedom and are searching for their identities and place in the world, is a universal one. My son convinced me to watch this one and I'm glad he did. Now I secretly watch it myself, when my more conventional friends aren't around and I want to remember what it was like being a teen and feeling out of step with the rest of the world.

Blu-ray Video Quality  Pal Joey is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of Twilight Time with a 1080p transfer in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio. As has been mentioned before in other Twilight Time reviews, the niche label is at the mercy of the studios from which they license these titles, and this Columbia Pictures release, while incredibly colourful and vivid looking. There's nothing bad here, certainly nothing to be overly concerned about, but a lot of this film is just slightly gauzy, something increased exponentially in the optical, including (obviously) the credits sequence as well as the big fantasy sequence that caps the film. The pluses far outweigh the negatives here, with some incredibly lushly saturated colour, and excellent fine detail which brings out every nuance in the stunning Jean Louis costumes.

One of Scorsese's biggest strengths needs to be tempered. He is incredibly aware of the camera's effect on the audience. The way we see only DeNiro's torso then the camera springs up suddenly to his head to reveal his Mohawk was jarring and very well done. The violence at the end was incredibly effective, I was jaw dropped. It couldn't save the story for me though and I wondered if this was a crutch for an otherwise bland ending. I do think the theme of hero/villain was movie worthy, that is to say there was a good point to the story but it just wasn't enough for me.

5226	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	When I think of movies, from an artistic standpoint, some of my favorites are "American Beauty," "The Godfather" (Part One and Two), "Saving Private Ryan," and "The Silence of the Lambs."  However, I think that from the same standpoint, my favorite would have to be "Taxi Driver."  This is one my absolute favorite movies.  It is one of those movies that I think has stood the test of time and is still a classic, and always will be a classic.  This is director Martin Scorcese at his best, and may be my favorite De Niro movie (or Godfather II).  "Taxi Driver" is a movie that shows how terrible society really is, and it probes into the mind of a person going crazy.  Robert De Niro does an awesome job as Travis Bickle, a lonely man who can't sleep at nights, thus becoming a cab driver.  He frequently visits porn theaters as well.  Driving around every night in his taxi, he sees that the scum of the earth comes out at night and walks the streets, in the form of criminals, pimps, hookers, etc.  He feels that the streets need to be washed clean of the dirt that contaminates them.  Amidst all the horror of society and the city, he meets a woman named Betsy (Cybill Shepard), and is very much attracted to her.  He attempts to take her on a date, but not knowing much about movies, he takes her to a porn movie, and she rejects him.  After Betsy continually avoids him, Travis gets hurt by this.  Then he comes across a twelve-and-a-half year old prostitute named Iris, who he sees doesn't like what she does and wants to get out of it.  As all of this happens, Travis starts to get sick of the loneliness, and the rejection, and the trash that walks the streets, and he slowly goes crazy.  Then he gets a hold of some guns and a combat knife, and decides to "clean the streets."  The action sequence toward the end of the movie is very realistic and very graphic, and it is possibly the greatest and most intense shoot-out ever filmed.  The film has great directing and acting, and is a magificent movie, though somewhat shocking and disturbing.  If you're looking for a classic, then "Taxi Driver" is not to be missed.

Allen has claimed, contrary to a lot of other artists' statements, that comedy is easy. Allen is so adept in this movie at spinning off high quality jokes at such a rate that he genuinely makes it seem effortless.

That is, you take away no warm feelings for any characters and their situations or any satisfaction that a hero succeeded in a quest or a heavy got their just deserts.

Don't go into this expecting a faithful take of the original "Resident Evil" game; that storyline was tossed out the window, with director Paul Anderson inserting his own cookie-cutter vision (lack of vision?), looking to cash in on the franchise name.
"My Hero" also features a shortened version of the odd couple's romantic meeting on the beach in the opening segment.  A male narrator's voiceover informs the viewers of how the couple met, soon followed by the original romantic 'Jeannie' theme played.  This was the black-and-white episode I saw for the first time in 1981.

From the opening scene in the elevator that was pretty heart stuttering to a confused, upset, and nearly nude Milla in the middle of Racoon City. I was really excited to see the end scene because it has the feel of a sequel and perhaps this movie being sort of a PREQUEL to the game kind of thing, we'll see more of what we wanted to see when we thought this was the first game in the series.

6094	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	This used to be one of my favorite movies but it no longer is. When I was younger I did not bother trying to comprehend the underlying message of this movie, nor any other movie for that matter. The message of this movie is now perfectly clear to me: convicts in Turkish prisons are frequently maltreated and tortured. Turkish prisons are inhumane and the entire justice system is flawed, corrupt and unjust. Moreover, the director of this movie implicitly implies that all Turks are barbarous, intransigent and uncivilized. This is corroborated by the fact that all Turkish characters in this movie are evil and their intentions are always malicious. Also an attempt is made to defame Islam and to show it as a religion which is inhumane, barbaric and merciless. On the other hand, Christians are depicted as humane and infallible. The principal point of this movie is that the Turkish society is flawed and atavistic as its justice system shows no mercy towards drug smugglers, rapists and murderers. Many of these assertions may be true but it would be a gross overgeneralization and oversimplification to claim that all of this is true and that these injustices are unique for Turkey. The director of this movie should have done some research at home before he set out to criticize an entire nation. Consider some of these facts: U.S.A. still has capital punishment; it has been demonstrated in many cases that the application of the death penalty is racially discriminatory (much more blacks are sentenced to death than whites); in many states, minors and mentally retarded are sentenced to death even though this violates the U.S. constitution; the U.S. government incarcarates people without letting them know what they have been charged with and denies them adequate legal representation etc. (Guantanamo Bay in Cuba). If these facts are not indicative of a flawed and unjust justice system, then what is? In my view, it is extremely hypocritical and cynical not to judge our own actions and transgressions by the same standards we apply to others. This is a good movie but it would have been much better had it not been so severely biased and prejudiced.

4590	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Taxi Driver (1976) is a film that often appears on lists of the top 100 films of all time. Perhaps that may be true, but I give pause. I think Taxi Driver is a very good film, but a tad overrated. I was expecting a little more in terms of plot twists and suspense, but it never went there. Still, this is one fine film by acclaimed director Martin Scorsese. I like Scorsese because he doesn't hold back; he doesn't play it safe when trying to tell a story. Some directors keep things light, but Scorsese goes for the gusto, and that triggers the emotional element that's so prevalent in his films. The cast of this film was on top of their game, and even newcomer Jodie Foster is believable in her role as a troubled teen. This blu ray set will keep you entertained for hours, with some nice special features. The picture and sound quality are first-rate for a film that's over 40 years old, so the cleanup job was a successful one.

Endlessly stockpiled with hauntingly hysterical sketches that will probably never leave your mind (no matter how hard you try) including, The Knights Who Say Nei, The Self-Abusing Monks (Eah aay ess eay dom eay nay), The Black Knight, The Trojan Rabbit, the Ever-Appearing Verbally Abusing French (I don't want to talk to you no more!!!), The Enchanter Named Tim, The Killer Bunny, The Bridge of Death (What is the capital of Hysteria?), The Old Woman Named Dennis, and so many countless more great sketches to include here that I'd die trying. Monty and Python and the Holy Grail remains an ever-enriching mirthful cult-classic that just seems to improve with age. Since Columbia has a bountifully hefty new special edition of the Holy Grail out now there should be no excuse, if you've never seen it (I think I'll go for a walk!!), just drop everything your doing (including Bringing Out Your Dead) and go experience this life changing movie today. You won't be disappointed, just tell them the Knight Not Appearing In This Film sent you, and they'll know what to do.

If one watches closely in the scene where they find a match to invalid DNA, they bring up Vincent's picture, which provides them with a pictorial match to the suspect immediately.  Some geneticists have said that such technology like the ones used in Gattaca would be blurring the line between medical and science investigation.
Lee Marvin is an  American pilot washed up on the shore of a small Pacific island in the  waning days of World War II -- only to find the one other inhabitant is a  Japanese officer played by the awesome Toshiro Mifune.  Although they carry  on the larger war between them for a time, they gradually realize the only  way either is going to survive and get off the island is if they work  together. But can they do it?

All in all, this movie was fantastic, and I loved every minute of it.  Let it be known, if you are a die hard fan of the video game, then maybe you should pass on this one.  Because you might be disappointed.  Then again, I read some of the other reviews from people who are fans of the game and enjoyed the movie.  If you are looking for a really good scary zombie movie, instead of these stupid teen-slasher flicks that have been coming out, see "Resident Evil."  If this doesn't sound like anything you'd like, maybe you'd be better off with seeing "Jason X" or the latest "Halloween" movie.  This was an awesome movie that scared the hell out of me.  I loved every second.

Miss Hannigan works the girls from dawn to dusk and locks them in the closet when they misbehave.  Living at the orphanage is pretty bad, but living on the street during the Great Depression is worse.  But Annie doesn't let her circumstances get her down, she knows that she has loving parents out there somewhere and she is determined to find them.  After getting caught escaping again, Miss Hannigan is determined to punish her, but Annie is rescued by Grace Farrell (Ann Reinking), Oliver Warbucks' (Albert Finney) private secretary.  Turns out that Mr. Warbucks hosts an orphan in his home every year and this year Grace decided that he needed to host a girl.  Mr. Warbucks soon finds his home and his life turned upside down by this lovable girl and her sunshiny disposition, but Annie still believes that her parents are out there somewhere and may give up her one chance at happiness to find them...

Word eventually comes to Bob (the driver) that a family member is in trouble and he has to return to town. Since he has the only car, Anthony and (more importantly) Dignan, flip out, telling him he can't leave. But he does and leaves Anthony and Dignan stranded at the hotel (which is fine with the love-struck Anthony). But Dignan wants to get out of there, so he devises a plan to steal a car and return to their lives of thievery. Not wanting to leave without his newfound love interest, Anthony tries to convince Inez to come with them. A misunderstanding ensues and he and Dignan are back on their debauched road. Eventually they take on a robbery at a meat packing plant and it goes horribly. Risking everything, eventually a choice has to be made about who stays behind -- and takes the risk of capture -- and who goes free.

TTMAR is very funny at times but the romance part did nothing for me (the scenes seem reminiscent of other late 60's movies I haven't watched in some time either.

Umbrella Corp isolates the city and ultimately unleashes Alice, who has become a project in and of herself since the last outing.

I'm not sure what they were thinking, but the plot is slow, the british humor is lamer than normal, and what on earth was up with the giant Grateful Dead-esque Teddy Bear costumes??

The bigger problem is that every character is self-centered and stupid. The writer and the director do not understand that, even when a movie is a horror satire, if the audience cannot relate to any character, interest quickly wanes. One morning Anton discovers his parents have been whacked, and, by that night, he's trying to make it with the girl next door. You can laugh at this idiot, but do you really care about him? This is not to say that there are no clever scenes in the movie. It is to say that the audience's involvement remains superficial. It's one of those pictures that leaves no impact and is forgotten by the next day.

This story of how one man manages to confound the destiny arbitrarily laid out for him is well-acted, well-written, and well-produced.  Hawke is excellent as the determined Vincent, and Jude Law gives a fine performance as the embittered Jerome.  The evolving relationship of the two men, as they share one identity, is at least as interesting as Vincent's relationship with Thurman.

Just to hide the fact that the Spice Girls have no acting talent, the rest of the actors have to be completely bonkers. Their agent acts like if Ari Gold popped some speed and drank a pack of red bull, the tabloit guy is pontifically British, and the studio execs are so desperately perverse when they pitch the worst ideas ever in a film, almost like a parallel to this film; the execs even ripped-off an idea from a show pilot in "Pulp Fiction" (Spice Force Five, get it?). Neither of them are funny, they're just pretentious, much like the movie's gags.

A little bit of trivia regarding both Star Wars and CE3K is that at the time of the release, both directors were reportedly in Hawaii, discussing the possibileity that their indiviual movies would flop  Both films were very succesful. And the projct they were discussing at theat time was another great franchise...the beginnings of what became to be Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Here are some samples of the humor.

Anyway this is a spectacular film. The sound track helped support the movie. They did a good job of picking the actors. The characters were believable. Uma did not even have to show her Thurman's. Ethan did a convincing transformation and Jude was good enough that you almost thought the film was about him. The scenes were breath taking.

With its antecedents in literature like Dostoevsky's "Notes from Undergound" and Sartre's "Nausea" and Camus' "Stranger" and French art films likes "Pickpocket" and "Diary of a Country Priest," as well as the real-life would-be assassin Arthur Bremer (who shot George Wallace in 1972), TAXI DRIVER takes a new direction by linking its protagonist's psychological wounds with sex and Viet Nam. Bickle's experiences in the war are subtly implied here, and all the more artful and true for that. Travis has been trained as a warrior and then thrown into the urban jungle. Obsessed and horrified by sex and women--what a perfectly American trait--his fantasies soon meld into an orgy of violence and perverted heroism. Ain't that America? A critic once said Travis Bickle was the offspring of John Wayne and Norman Bates. Perfect: misplaced psychosis is interpreted as heroism.

And Jeff Bridges does some of his finest work backed up nicely by Mercedes Ruehl who brings comic relief and sweet sensitivity to her portrayal of a woman who loves Jeff Bridges character far more than he loves her.
Apart from its Nationalistic stance, the dialogue of the film borders on the ludicrous to outright childlike. The only bite that is heard in this film is from the actual enemy (portrayed by Gary Oldman) when questioning the President's (Harrison Ford) moral constitute when dealing with his Oldman's homeland. The points raised were the only plausible or believeable lines in this movie, but it all too quickly falls into the 'remake Rambo' style of filmmaking too many times. This is just entertainment for the masses, and does not ask any questions of moral fortitude or revenge, or anything actually relevant to anything in any real world situation. Should I take this movie just as it is, entertainment, or for what it represents, 'Horse Blinker' propaganda aimed at the public.

I'd read that the director was relatively new, having directed only a couple of small, independent films.  Was he overwhelmed by the massive production or did the studio take it away from him to cut it to pieces?  What makes me wonder if it was the former is that Sean Connery's first scenes have him talking with weird, exaggerated tics and such--and then they're gone.  Connery just walks through the rest of the film.  I've always heard that Connery did not suffer fools on a movie set: did he turn on his young director?

1335	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	I got caught up in the nostalgia and hype when this movie was first released. I'm one of the few people who actually saw it in the theaters. The line that best describes this movie came from another reviewer (can't remember who):
As a Christian, however, I have a couple of minor reservations about watching this film.  First, though by no means comparable to much of the filth that comes out of Hollywood these days, this movies has a fair share of foul language.  Some of the worst incidents of foul language are likely to go unnoticed because of the accent/language barrier and the manner of production.  For example, at one point the film cuts quickly to a character from a previous scene who says that at least his scene didn't involve a litany of a certain category of sex jokes.  Here, this character uses a less than appropriate word which is not even appropriate for me to repeat.  However, it goes by so fast that I didn't even notice it until the third or fourth time I watched the movie.
It's a huge ripoff and there's no excuse for amazon to be selling this version. I am very disappointed. If this is what they're selling, they should lower the price and INFORM the customer that it's not actually the "movie" version.
All of the actors are superbly cast -- and each of them throws themselves completely into their assigned roles, to the point of BECOMING their character, which, unless I miss my guess, is what acting is about.  Robin Williams couldn't be more perfect as Perry, the heartsick man with a shattered heart, who has lost his beloved wife in an act of senseless violence.  Jeff Bridges, as the radio 'shock-jock' whose flippant comment to a disturbed listener triggered the shooting, is utterly convincing as the guilt-ridden Jack, locked into a downward spiral, despite the love and care vested on him by his girlfriend (Mercedes Reuhl).  Then there's Amanda Plummer, portraying the hapless, mousy Lydia -- with whom, as soon as he sees her, Williams falls head over heels in love.
Fright Night has a great atmosphere and is really a throwback to old classic Universal and hammer films which relied on great suspense and atmosphere over blood and gore.  The scenes as Charley and Vincent stalk the vampire in the house are truly scary as is Charley's final battle with Dandridge.  William Ragsdale and Chris Sarandon are fantastic in their roles.  While Ragsdale was actually in his early 20's at the time, his young appearance made him believable as a teen.  Bearse was even older at 26, but still pulled off her teen character.  Chris Sarandon exuded sexuality as the vampire Gary Dandrige but was equally menacing as well.
In the world of Resident Evil, the world's largest corporation is secretly conducting genetic experiments and developing biological weapons. A problem develops when one of these biological weapons, called the T-virus, is released in one of the company's underground labs. The lab, called The Hive, is controlled by a super computer called The Red Queen. She kills all the employees in one manner or another in order to contain the virus. A team of paramilitary soldiers is sent in to shut her down, not knowing that they will release zombies who have a taste for living flesh. Milla Javovich plays a soldier who guards the entrance to The Hive, and due to her proximity to the lab, was knocked out by nerve gas, and has lost her memory.

I enjoyed it both as a historical war film complete with sieges and brutal battles and as a character study of St. Joan.  I'm no expert and can't really speak to the historical accuracy of the film but I do want to praise Milla Jovovich's acting.  She conveys a woman who is simultaneously driven and committed, with no uncertainty or doubt but who is also completely out of her depth.  She's no superhero, she makes mistakes and disregards reality too much, she almost defies reality by strength of will, but can't quite.  One great scene opens with a close up on Joan gasping, it pans back to show her holding her banner, standing defiantly before an enemy castle.  It's only after a minute that someone comes by to point out she has an arrow in her leg.  Joan seems to notice if for the first time...

8824	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I won't get into the plot here. I would rather speak of the movie as a whole. Charles Bronson gives what might be the best performance of his career. In the movie he doesn't speak all that much. He does his talking with his fists, body language and facial expressions. The storyline, the settings, the dialog and the acting are all terrific. "Hard Times" has the same feel and aura that makes "Chinatown" (Jack Nicholson) such a great movie. Even if you are not a Charles Bronson fan, watch this movie for all it's other attributes. This might be one of the most under-rated movies I have ever seen. It's well worth watching.

What most people remember from "Taxi Driver" is the legendary bit where DeNiro stands in front of a mirror and practices taunting an imaginary foe with the iconic line and mannerism that will never die, "You talkin' to me?".  Influences of the film that I didn't mention in the video include numerous other musical references and homages in film and television.  In an episode of the second season of the cult television series&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Code-Monkeys/dp/B0019BI11O/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Code Monkeys</a>&nbsp;(only first season on DVD so far) there was an episode called "My Pal Jodie" which mocked the controversy surrounding violent video game slike&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Grand-Theft-Auto/dp/B000FRU1UM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Grand Theft Auto</a>&nbsp;by featuring a video game where you play as a man trying to kill a world leader known as "Ray-Gun" to win Jodie Foster's love.  So 35 years later, "Taxi Driver" continues to inspire commentary on current events.  If that is not a deep work of art, nothing is.
Kids, the target audience, won't notice how dated this is.  In fact, they'll find the 50 minutes over all too quickly.  Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town, and he's doing it with plenty of charm to entertain for years to come.

5278	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	BOTTOM LINE: One of the THE BEST horror movies pretty much EVER, actually. It has a timeless quality, despite the obvious hairstyle & clothing selections which squarely pegs it as an 80's flick. Top-shelf acting across the board, with the wonderful Roddy McDowell being a stand-out. (IMHO, he deserved an Oscar for his terrific turn as hollow, egotistical B-movie has-been, Peter Vincent.) Excellent practical & optical effects still provide the jolts needed to keep you jumping throughout. Sensuous, slick synth soundtrack by Brad (Terminator, T2) Fidel. This Blu-ray plays flawlessly on all machines and the picture is worlds above the previous DVD editions. The extras alone rate 5 STARS, but with the superb hi-def transfer as well, this would be a 10 STAR release, if such a thing were allowed. :-)

Rip Torn was originally cast for the part subsequently played by Jack Nicholson. However, Dennis Hopper got into a huge argument with Rip Torn, and pulled a knife on him (most likely a Buck Folding Hunter). Torn, having been an MP in the Army, quickly "subdued" Hopper, and left the production. Opening the door for Jack Nicholson, who Peter Fonda had worked with when acting in some Roger Corman films (such as The Trip, which I'm sure is available from Amazon). And the rest, as they say, for Jack Nicholson's career, is history.

The film comes alive when George, played by Jack Nicholsen as an ACLU lawyer. What a handsome dude, a purveyor of many roles to come. I remembered wondering about his character and thinking his Southern accent was too much and his football helmet silly. Now I understand about the football helmet and George's speech about how America used to be "a helluva good country". That night around the campfire, he samples grass for the first time, "Lord have mercy, is that what that is?" But best of all, is Peter Fonda and the quiet, intelligent, Captain America/Wyatt. He moves through the movie with, as my best friend would say, a noblesse oblige, a retired drug pusher who casts away his past and his allegiance to time with his wristwatch. Captain America and Billy find the whorehouse George directed them to and drop acid in the cemetery with two hookers, Karen Black in a great role. It is a long acid trip that sets the standard for hallucination portrayals for years to come. It's a bad trip, but maybe they chose the wrong place with the wrong people. And all is not well in the land of the free. A brief run-in with a few local yokels leads to their undoing. I'd thought Easy Rider would seem dated. Turns out it's timeless.
The cast was superb -- Julia Roberts and Susan  Sarandon gave great performances, and the kids (not sure of their names)  were both adorable and the biggest brats you've ever seen -- a great  combination.  Ed Harris was curiously absent from the film, showing up in  less than half the scenes.

Usually sequels fail after the first, or if they succeed, it's only by a small margin. Well, Resident Evil: Apocalypse is even better than its predecessor and brings another haul of thrills and chills along with it. In this one the post-apocalyptic feel hangs thick on the air. Raccoon City is in ruins. Cars are overturned and on fire. Bodies and blood litter the streets. Guns are going off in the distance.

The film begins with Billy Hayes strapping packets of heroin to his body, prior to his leaving the country of Turkey.  Tsk, tsk Billy...possession is one thing, but smuggling?  So very naughty...anyway, due to increased terrorist attacks, all passengers traveling by airplane are searched thoroughly, and Billy gets caught.  No big surprise there...if he hadn't, this would have been a pretty short film.  Imagine getting arrested in a foreign country, one where you don't speak the language.  Pretty scary, I would think.  Anyway, things actually don't appear that bad for Billy, but we know different.  Eventually Billy receives 4 years on a possession charge (the prosecutor was looking for a smuggling charge, which carries a life sentence in Turkey).  Conditions are poor, to say the least, in the prison, as Billy suffers many of the things you'd expect one to suffer being in prison.  Attempts by his family, his lawyer, and American government officials are for naught as Billy serves his time.  Shortly before his time in prison is up, Billy learns that a higher court has ruled that the possession charge he was originally convicted on has been reviewed by a higher court, and they have now decided to charge him with smuggling, increasing his term to 30 years, or, basically a life sentence, given the quality of life in the prison.  At this point Billy explodes in the court as the ruling is handed down, and he reacts badly, understandably so, calling the court and its' members a `bunch of pigs' (probably not the words I would have used, as they certainly won't endear you to your captors, but whatever).  Now a matter of life or death in Billy's mind, he decides he has no choice but to escape.  And try he does...eventually he does, returns home, and decides to write a book about his experience, one that becomes a movie one day, adapted for the screen by Oliver Stone...isn't this where we began?
Charley finally goes to horror movie host/actor Peter Vincent, "Vampire Killer," in desperation of someone to believe him, & is met with the same skepticism as all the others. Peter Vincent, played by Roddy McDowall, is the complete opposite of Chris Sarandon's, Jerry Dandrige. Bumbling, inept, cowardice, played with all the conviction of non-conviction this fine actor can muster! Peter Vincent is a major ingredient to why this film works so well, as he is finally bribed by Charley's girlfriend to help prove that Charley is wrong about Jerry Dandrige being a Vampire, in another tense scene.
2333	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This Movie is the best movie I've ever seen. First of all, I find it very cool cause of all the advanced technology involved. Then there is all the action that doesn't give you a moments rest, with up's and down's that make your stomach turn with each new scene, and leaves you with the thought of "what's gona happen next" or "how will he get out of this"? And the actors, ah, there out of this world. Harrison Ford (the President) I don't have to tell you is good, he's my favorite actor. Gary Oldman (head highjacker) is so intense, so real, he has his own unique dry sense of humor that spices it all up. What makes this movie so entertaining, and thrilling, is the fact that you can't take your eyes off till the end, trust me.
The packaging is nice, although I found it very difficult to remove the DVDs without fearing I might snap them because the locking mechanism seems to not want to let go of the DVDs no matter how hard I press down on them. I suppose I could look at it in that I shouldn't fear them coming off during shipping and getting scratched up.
In short, The Crossing is a movie definitely worth watching, and one to seriously consider adding to your movie collection.
The music, cinematography, and  acting are all very good, indeed.  Anyone who didn't enjoy this at least a  little really needs to get a sense of humor.  Of course, it's a bit cheesy,  but it's meant to be that way.  It's presented in the slightly corny,  overblown way that 'Hardware Wars' or the 'Naked Gun' films were. The same  people who didn't understand those films probably won't understand 'George  Lucas In Love'.  It's not a 'great' film, but who cares?  It's a fun little  short by a guy who really loves 'Star Wars'.  Some have condemned the  filmmakers doing this just for the money. I seriously doubt that Mr.  Nussbaum will make a huge fortune from this film and if he does, big deal.  Nothing wrong with making money from doing what you love or making money at  all. Surely, none of the people who reviewed this film would go and work at  their jobs for free and live in a cardboard box under a bridge somewhere!  Anyway, GLIL is great fun and a great to watch before your next screening  of 'Phantom Menace' or the original trilogy.

The Monty Python troupe, led by the creative talents of Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones, incorporated John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle and Graham Chapman as King Arthur, the dominant role in the film. No animals were harmed in the filming, not even an African Swallow, non-migratory as they are. A few coconuts bit the dust, however, as did more than a few comic images. Logic bits the dust, too, on more than one occasion. I did a paper once for symbolic logic which I was told ten years later was still being passed about because I had dared to use something so unconventional as this Monty Python movie in the references (I couldn't see why that wouldn't be much more common, and indeed, hope it is today--I use 'Life of Brian' in homilies, so why not this film in logic?).

The basic story is that a young boy is given a magic ticket, the ticket allows the boy to enter the latest film of his favorite action star Jack Slater. While helping Jack thwart crime in LA, he's also trying to convince Slater that they are both in a movie by pointing out things like one cop being an animated cat, or guns that never run out of bullets. Slater doesn't buy it, but when an evil henchman steals the ticket to come into the real world, it's up to Slater to stop him and get the ticket back.
If you like to see movies about Richard Dreyfus playing with carbs, then you'll love Close Encounters.  And special effects?  I don't know why they're considered so revolutionary because they're not half as good as anything I saw in ID4 (that's what I call Independence Day) or MIB II (Men in Black II) or iRobot or even Wild Wild West.  Apparently in Steven Spielberg's mind all space aliens are going to terrorize our planet after they arrive in a big Simon (complete with flashing colored lights and the annoying four musical notes)
DeNiro plays Travis Bickle, a slightly unhinged Vietnam War vet dealing with bouts of insomnia. To make money while dealing with this he takes on the job of a night time taxi driver in New York. Rather than the up and coming Wall Street crowds this lends itself to his dealing with customers of an unsavory nature. Pimps and hustlers, prostitutes and riders with no issue having sex in the back seat while he drives. Its a slimy world that we view through his eyes.
 Also, if you had seen only this movie with Sean Connery, you would wonder just why he was an actor. The bear suit was not his finest hour...although pretty funny.

And if you're all grown up now, chances are that you'll abhor this DVD release as much as I do.  The people who released this DVD apparently didn't realize that since it came out in 1982, it would have a large audience of people who fell in love with it then, but have grown up to be discerning movie buyers now.  And grown-ups need things with their DVD packages, especially if those packages claim to be "Special Anniversary Editions".  They need things like commentary.  Sure, John Huston is long dead, but what about the living?  Why not round up Carol Burnett, Albert Finney, Aileen Quinn and some of the girls for a real commentary track?  Grown-ups need in-depth making-of featurette documentaries, not sappy retrospectives narrated by Aileen Quinn as if she were talking to a bunch of grade-schoolers.  And grown-ups emphatically do NOT need cheesy sing-along and act-along with Annie features, or insipid trivia that any 8th-grade graduate could do.

A definate must see for anyone who like Steve's movies. This has some really funny poetry in it, and best of all, a guy with an exceptionally large nose, but it doesn't distract you. You see Martin's character more as a human being rather than a specticle to laugh at and stare at the large snoze he has. If you are thinking about buying this, then by all means do so! THIS MOVIE WILL NOT DISSAPPOINT YOU, UNLESS YOU'RE A NAZI!

The pace of the movie was too fast and it was not easy to catch on to what we are supposed to be seeing. Not only that, but every five seconds it seemd like there is a fight scene that has no purpose what-so-ever as opposed to the balanced feel of it's predecessor.

The genius of the Pythons simply cannot be overstated.  Holy Grail was made on a shoestring budget, yet the lads managed to wring the maximum amount of laughs and silliness out of the Arthurian legends to great effect on that budget.  From the use of coconuts to imitate the sound of hoofbeats, to the burning of a witch because she's made of wood and floats on water like a duck ("Cor, she turned me into a newt!" "A newt?!" "(Long pause)...I got better..."), to Castle Anthrax and lots of good spankings, to the Bridge of Death ("WHAT...is your favourite COLOUR?!" "Blue!" "Very well, then, off you go."), there's nary a wrong step here.  The bonus materials are a bit of fun, too; I must add that the subtitles make the lines easier to understand as well.  They make it much easier for you and your friends to spend countless hours quoting the film back and forth at each other...and the lines are VERY quotable.
Like many movies made of real events, it takes some real liberties with the truth, and to make it a better "story", consolidates and leaves out people and stories.  Given events where so many people died, though, misrepresenting events to make a better story is well, disrespectful. In addition, Krakauer is made more central to the action -- the Sherpa leaders are shown appealing to him on various things, and he's mentioned as being involved in the rescues, when in fact, Krakauer was only a client, not involved in decision making, Sherpa leading, or rescuing. (A really embarrassing scene is when a Sherpa begs Krakauer to stop so they can rest).  Not that Krakauer didn't perform well on the mountain, being one of the first to summit, but no way would he have a Sherpa begging him to stop so they could rest.
There is a History lesson in this tale that dates back pre-WWII to present day. The cinematograph of film is awe-inspiring. The story is classical. This movie is a must see

Here's my reasoning behind supporting this DVD;
The first disc contains the newest Director's Cut of the movie, which includes the "Mongolian ship" scene -and- Neary's "breakdown in the shower" scene.  Both of these add a dimension of reality to both the final discovery and Neary's mental state.
CHARACTERS
Other than that if you did not see the original or the third version that is shown periodically on TV you would like this movie and it is worth the purchase price.

The film tells the a story about Vincent Freeman (Ethan Hawke), a man born naturally, a 'God-child', one who didn't benefit from advanced technology during his development within the womb, and subsequently has various conditions many are familiar with like poor eyesight, heart problems, etc.  Vincent has his sights set on the stars, wanting to travel to distant planets, visit far away places (I mean really far away) but due to advanced science, he has no chance as people can now determine the status of your health, your future health, by any number of ways, a strand of hair, a bit of spittle on a cup, a flake of skin, and while biases due to genetic profiling are illegal, the practice is common and widespread, resulting in Vincent relegated to working in less than desirable jobs like cleaning offices.
as a rental, when it comes up on Prime again,
This movie will be watched and continued to be watched by fans for years to come, no matter those silly persons who write nonsense blubber about whether or not they received anything spiritual from it or not.

9444	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This has to be the funniest movie ever made.  At some points you are completely lost as to the reason of a scene, but still find it strangely funny.  The movie follows the adventures of King Arthur and some of his  knights on their seperate journeys to find the Holy Grail.. Each encounter  dangerous adversaries(?), such as beautiful 18 year old "nuns",  and a rather foppish boy who needs rescuing from a unwanted marriage.  There is really no describing it, other than absolutely hilarious.  I  recommend it for anyone seeking unending laughs.  Even the beginning  credits make you cry with laughter.  A must have.
4086	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Way, way, way too overemotional and contrived. Ed Harris wants to marry his girlfriend, Julia Roberts. But his kids from his previous marriage to Susan Sarandon don't like her, and Susan Sarandon hates her. So naturally she has to win them all over... and of course tragedy has to happen, so Susan is stricken with cancer and will be out of the picture soon enough. Yes, there are some winning moments here. It would be difficult to have a film with all these well known and often brilliant actors without having some really great moments.

In adapting Pat Conroy's bestselling 1986 novel for the screen, Streisand has shifted the emphasis from the toxic Wingo family to the brief love affair between Tom and Dr. Lowenstein. Nonetheless, the film does convey the ways in which we are deeply shaped and influenced by our families. Best of all, The Prince of Tides proclaims the value of coming to terms with past pain as a way to reclaim our lives."Human pain does not let go of its grip at any one point in time," Robert Veninga writes in Gift of Hope: How We Survive Our Tragedies. "Rather it works its way out of our consciousness over time." The grip of pain and the liberation that comes when it is released is the theme of The Prince of Tides, directed and produced by and starring Barbra Streisand.
Thus, the genes are not manipulated, but only the best combination of a couples genes would be preserved. In this film a love child must compete all his life with his younger brother, selected by the parents for his genetic strengths of beauty, strength, and intelligence. Ethan Hawke plays Vincent Freeman, a man who was conceived the old fashioned way in the back seat of a car, who has to stay constantly on his toes to compete with his younger brother, played by Loren Dean. However Vincent has decided he wishes to be an astronaut in a society where only the strongest, brightest, bravest are allowed achieving that vocational dream,

  When Jim Henson died, Brian took over, and the Creature Factory  was born. Muppets in Space proved that the son had capably stepped into the  shoes of the father. And now... we get this sickly, stupid, ungainly,  ludicrous mess that can only be called a film because somewhere someone is  burning miles of celluloid with these images on it. At least, I fervently  hope so. Even the kids in the audience (all four of them) were relatively  bored with this pathetic attempt at making a kid-friendly version of The  Rocky Horror Picture Show (with audience participation and all). We're long  past the point where we feel we need to overly simplify moral lessons for  kids, aren't we?

To those who might be of that opinion, I cannot recommend watching Nil By Mouth highly enough.  It is a work of astonishing intensity and visceral power.  It is quite unlike any British film that I've ever seen and so real and true is its portrayal of London working class life that it felt more like a '70s Pacino/De Niro movie like "Raging Bull" or "Panic In Needle Park" than what we have to come to expect from the British Film industry.

Most of the cast ranges from non-descript to just plain awful. Easily the worst of the bunch is Michelle Rodriguez, whose only distinct trait is a perpetual frown; she's given a lot of macho dialogue, but Jenette Goldstein she is not. Surprisingly, it's Jovovich who stands out as the film's kickass heorine. Sure, she's not much of an actress, but she's got the physical stuff down pat, for the most part. And she's cute enough that I don't mind seeing her in a slinky red dress, as well as a couple of scenes that briefly reveal some of her naughty bits.

This film is all about Travis Bickle, so much so that he's never off screen for more than a minute or two at a time, and not often at that.  Travis isn't from New York City, and isn't a part of it, though he still, somehow, seems to belong.  Bickle  is a lot of things, but his main trait is obvious from the get-go:  He is alone, alienated.  He hates the city;  he prays for the rain to come wash the filth from the streets, but he's drawn to those streets at the same time.  Travis, unable to sleep at night, decides to become a taxi driver even though he loathes and fears his clientele.  His reasons for taking the job, though unstated, are apparent:  Better to face the depravity of the streets than live alone with the uncertainty and emptiness within himself day in and day out.  When not working Travis sits alone in his dingy apartment, staring at the television with indifference, pours his anger into his diary and haunts seedy downtown porno theaters.  He feels a need to find something more, something outside of himself, but he doesn't know what it could be.  Before too long he finds a cause, a reason to exist, in the form of the beautiful campaign worker Betsy (Cybill Shepherd) and, later, the plight of teen-runaway Iris (Jodie Foster).  He wants to be with them, to protect them, but do they want that?  Do they need that?

The bad acting was the only trouble with this film, the horrible script allowed the Hollywood character and plot clichs to pour in like the flood gates had been opened.  The wise cracking character that always has something to say and obscure pop culture references that try to gain a couple laughs from the audience was present.  The no-nonsense female cop that has a strange past, but finds out that she has the heart of gold.  The corporation boss that is willing to kill everyone for the sake of science and proves that he has no heart what so ever.  Finally, there is the large overbearing monster that was nothing more than table scraps of every other Hollywood big budget horror movie, which discovers the true meaning of Christmas.  YUK.  Could director Alexander Witt either not do his homework or just try for once to build upon the original instead of slicing and dicing.  Not just the characters were clich, but also the story.  Lines were replaced with explosions and CGI.  Gore replaced the sci-fi element and 1984 Big Brother moments were just the mother load.  Seriously, I would love to know what happened.

3033	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	The American Film Institute rated this movie #88 of the 100 best movies of all time.  While I tend to agree with the institute on their picks, I believe the Institute was likely stoned when they rated this film.  I understand the concept of the film: disillusioned anti-establishment pothead youths dropping out to find true freedom and true expression, but the filmatic means used to reach this end go absolutely nowhere.  The director, Dennis Hopper, (also a costar in this monument to the sixties), loads at least a third of the film with mostly meaningless, boring footage of the two cyclists touring through the American west using drug-culture inspired music from the 60's as the soundtrack. Honestly, I could have filmed better footage through my childhood super-8 camera. And with perhaps the exception of one or two songs (Born to Be Wild), the music is dreadfully dated, the lyrics incomprehensible, and incredibly boring.
This is one of those frightening on-screen performances in recent memory. Ray Winstone deserves high praise and immortalization for his acting here in the role of Ray. He seems to be one of those unsavory, brutal characters in movies that stay with us.

3847	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Remember all those really campy films from the 1950s such as The Crawling Hand?  Idle Hands is basically the same type of movie, only much sillier, much campier, and in some respects embarrassingly bad.  The filmmakers really don't even bother to explain the whole silly concept; a corporeal, murderous hand on the rampage normally doesn't need a lot of background info, but in this case Anton (Devon Sawa) simply has his own hand somehow possessed without the rogue hand causing all the mischief even finding him.  Only after Anton cuts his hand off, do we return to the more traditional animated, murderous hand on the rampage theme, and that works much better than Anton's constant battle to control what his right hand is doing as long as it is attached to his arm.  As far as the rest of the explanation goes, we have a Druidic priestess (Vivica A. Fox) trying to find and destroy the hand before midnight Druid time, at which time the hand will take a soul into the netherworlds.  In my opinion, this story doesn't even begin to work.

9647	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	The moral of the film is that we should not strive for genetic improvement, because this would create jealousy, sadness, resentment, discrimination, etc for those were not as genetically gifted. This premise ignores the fact that drastic inequality already occurs in natural evolution, and has always been an element of all life. This film plays into currently popular egalitarian ideologies that try to ignore, eliminate, or camouflage this process, in a quest for a utopia where everyone can believe that they are more or less 'equal' to everyone else and there is nothing to offend anyone's fragile ego. But of course, this is the antithesis of evolution. So, in short, the premise, conception, and perspective of the movie are lame. I only made it through the first 30 minutes or so, and it was uninteresting and predictable. The main character's parents express some sort of Christian/naturalist faith in natural childbirth (playing to popular attitudes today), as if rolling the dice with your child's genetics is morally superior to using science to reduce their suffering throughout life from genetic defects, or allowing them to enjoy superior traits (who wouldn't want straight teeth? perfect eyesight? healthy bones? a strong immune system? a quick mind? excellent memory? a non-violent temperament? etc. ). The kid goes on whining about his older brother having all this good stuff while he has to wear glasses, etc. Though, again, you don't need eugenics for this dynamic to happen. Check out "The Talented Mr. Ripley". I suppose one could say that Gattaca is a science fiction film for whiners. I would recommend going to read some Nietzsche instead. We all succeed through the advancement of even a few, especially if this advance is passed down genetically to future generations. Whiners/egalitarians would refuse this advancement to all future generations, so that they don't have to feel inferior and no one is offended. And the final message of the original - more or less, "where would you be if only the genetically perfect were born?" - this is a specious argument, since there are countless billions of potential people who have not been born throughout human history. Who is crying over these billions of unborn babies? (hmmm... many people against eugenics today might also support abortion. Go figure. Maybe the writers of the script were pro-life Christians?) Anyway, you, me, none of us would be here if more genetically advanced humans were being selected, but then again, those who would be here would live happier and healthier lives. And that is what evolution is all about.
While visiting family in Miami one of my cousins went to see the movie. When he got home he was telling me how much the movie stunk. As he was talking it became obvious to me that he had taken the movie seriously. So I yelled at him "It's a parody!! He's making fun of action movies in general and himself in particular!!" I could see the lightbulb go on over his head and he went right out and saw it again.

It is the strange and quirky (there's that word again) that drives this film. Owen Wilson's character (Dignan) is obviously an extreme case of an excessive-compulsive.

Piers Cuthbertson-Smyth (Alan Cumming) is a documentarian desperately trying to obtain footage for his latest project, a look at the popular five-girl singing group The Spice Girls: Ginger (Geri Halliwell), Baby (Emma Bunton), Posh (Victoria Beckham), Sporty (Melanie Chisholm) and Scary (Melanie Brown). While he struggles to sneak into parties and onto sets where they practice, the girls themselves prepare for a big stage show in England. Meanwhile, their eccentric manager is in cahoots with Chief (Roger Moore) the man who feels he is responsible for their success and can take it away with a snap of his fingers, or a caress of his squealing bovine. And if that isn't enough, a mysterious paparazzi spy gets carried away snapping pictures of the fivesome and pasting it all over the headlines.

Bronson arrives in New Orleans with a few coins in his pocket and no prospects.  Fortunately for him (and unfortunately for his opponents) he comes across a betting fighting match hosted by two local sharpies.  Bronson studies the situation with cold calculating eyes and realizes that he could earn some much needed food money with a few bouts of his own.  Introducing himself to one of the local sharpies, (James Coburn, who is superb in his role of a quick talking con-man in constant trouble with the local mob), Bronson and Coburn set out to win a small fortune on the match-making skills of Coburn and the hard punishing fists of Bronson.

One thing that's amazing is that Bronson was 53 freakin' years-old when the film was made, yet physically looks better than most guys half that age. Bronson's beautiful wife, Jill Ireland, plays his love interest (as usual) and was 39 years old at the time.

All I can tell you is that Arnold Schwarzeneger had to have a lot of balls to be in a movie like this. Especially when he was still a relative new comer to the acting profession and to America. But hey, it's just an action movie, and it's got a good plot.  Still, there seems to be no end to the contempt that film makers and critics have for Arnold. That isn't what pisses me off the most, though. What pisses me off the most is that the movie-going public could be so gullible and stupid as to accept whatever Hollywood tells them about a certain flick. Not critics, mind you. Nobody pays attention to critics anymore. Especially the stupid rich ones with their big thick books and their big thick mustaches. No, I'm talking about the entertainment industry, at large. Usually if every actor, every director, every producer, and every talk show personality gangs up on a certain individual, or a certain film and shouts at the top of their collective lungs "THIS PERSON'S WORK IS TERRIBLE. DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE," everyone believes them. What these people should be yelling is "WE ARE FEARFUL. WE ARE JELOUS. WE WANT TO SEE THIS PERSON FAIL"  That's all entertainment is about. It's about one artist stabbing another in the back. It's not about teamwork anymore. Usually if enough people in the profession denounce a certain person's work, the rest of the world will think "Well, gee! Everybody in Hollywood thinks this movie sucks. It must be true. Well, I'm not going to waste my money"
The film is full of action and fighting.  There is less suspense than in the first and most of the monsters and hazards are straight from the first movie.  But it is the characters and what has been done to them, and how they handle it, that provides the real story in this film.  Needless to say there is another cliffhanger/opening at the end to pave the way for a third movie.  Most of the action happens at night so the sets are dark.  The action is fast and between the lighting and the speed, the fight scenes are often uncomprehendable.
ADDED 5/27:  Got the set in today, worth the money.  I haven't compared the quality to the 4 Season set from Fox, but I did compare a couple of episodes to my mpeg versions I recorded 15 or so years ago.  The episodes are un-cut, which is great, but one other thing I noticed right off the bat is the episodes are the correct speed.  Syndication cuts episodes, but they also tend to speed them up to get more of the episode into the allotted 30 minute air time.  I was really surprised how much quicker the pace was on the old recordings, with all of the actor's voices a little higher as a result.  The new set is much more naturally-paced, more relaxed.  The video of the new set is not perfect, but it is very, very good.  I give it about 8.5 on a 1-10 scale.  It doesn't have that super clean, prisitine look of a big name series that has been fully restored from top-notch source elements.  But it is certainly cleaner than any Newhart episodes I have seen before, including the Fox videos.  The video is excellent for the most part and is consistent from episode to episode.  The audio is great, much cleaner than my recorded set which had a lot of hissing.  It is perfect for a 70's sitcom, I give the audio a 9.5 out of 10.

All in all, perhaps what is the main issue is determining just what human potential is and who the experts of this advancement are supposed to be. Added to this are concerns about the future and whether our leaders who will, by then, espouse bringing forth progress will by and large be compassionate philanthropists at best or sociopathic, cultic leaders at worst.
couple of slow sections around the love story. But these are very small
However, my favourite scene would have to be the liturgical procession and reading of instructions for the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, with the leader's instruction 'skip a bit, brother' -- an instruction which I've searched in vain in the liturgical handbooks, but would vastly improve many readings on some mornings in church. This is a perfect parody of the sonorous but deadening readings that seem to drag on interminably.

Milla Jovovich is the female lead and she manages to carry the film well.  I'm really not that informed on her background, but I will say that while she probably doesn't have a great depth of talent at her disposal, she is a capable actress and I liked her in her role.  To say that she was believable would be impossible, as I don't know that such a person could exist (how many zombie fighters do you know?).

If you choose to purchase, buy the collector's edition DVD (the one with the B&W half- face portrait of De Niro), which has plenty of extras that the original DVD lacks. It has a wealth of information on the movie's production, including how some of the players researched their characters. There are also interviews of the different actors, including De Niro, Foster, Peter Boyle and more. The disc also has production stills and commentary by the DVD's producer.
And I'm certain that the only reason they made it possible to kill the zombies by snapping their necks was to tone down the gore and get it past the MPAA with an R rating, not to mention that video games still have the "just kid's stuff" reputation, and thus movies based on video games suffer a similar stigma so they have to be toned down for "the kids." But this is supposed to be a ZOMBIE FILM, it's supposed to be gory! The games, which are supposedly "just kid's stuff," actually have MORE gore than the movies made about them. So as far as zombie films go, the Resident Evil films are pretty tame. Hell, they could have gone with more gore, taken it out so the film could get an R, then put it back in for an Unrated Version on DVD. That would have been more acceptable than these zombie film abominations.

Beautiful screenplay, stellar acting, gorgeous cinematography. Just simply one of the best.
I will say that some of this movie is far from appropriate for children, especially when Tim Curry and Bernadette Peters (I love her here too) are on the screen (they tend to get rather risqu) and there is some language that I didn't remember but all in all it is something that your children will love (my daughter, too young to really pay attention, was captivated by the singing).
This movie will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the finest science-fiction films ever created. In my opinion, it is one of the few truly perfect films ever crafted. Any serious fan of science-fiction will probably want to own this one.

The film, as you may well know, is a spoof of documentaries called a "mockumentary." The film purports to show the life and times of a petty criminal named Virgil Starkwell (Woody Allen).

1885	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Loved it!

After a while, every cabbie develops a callus: every passenger becomes a blur. Robert De Niro's character, Travis Bickle, sees society as converging dots flowing together like the scum on his windshield. Prostitutes, pimps, addicts, and winos gum the sidewalks. Urine stings every breath. Neon melts over his cab. This is the world that Travis lives in, and he hates it more and more everyday.
The cinematography is very good. Lszl Kovcs does good work and he captures the scenery very well. God knows there is plenty of time for that during the course of the movie. There is a little incongruity towards the end when they try to match 16mm footage with the rest of the 35mm film, but other than that the picture is good. There are some weird things done with the editing that I didn't really understand or care for. There is a reoccuring theme of stuttering images before cutting to a new scene. It kind of seems like a film student experiment that was left in the film accidently.

It had great acting, and a classic theme, but I did not understand some of the devices, such as the trip to the porno movie and the Mohawk haircut / bizarre behavior incident.

Robert De Niro plays taxi driver Travis Bickle, a down on his luck Vietnam vet who takes a job as a taxi driver to make ends meet.  What makes this movie amazing is how true to life it is.  All that Travis Bickle wants to do is be somebody.  He wants to be known for something.  The bad thing is he is willing to do anything to get his recognition.  Many people have connected with this movie because Travis Bickle's life seems to mirror theirs.  No one takes him seriously and nobody seems to care about him.  He is just another face in the crowd.  Many people have felt like him, maybe not to the point of murder, but they have related to him.  Scorsese directs this film like no other and De Niro plays Bickle brilliantly.  This movie has impressive camera work and one of the best shootouts ever.  Watch it!

Charles Dance does a great one-eyed villain (with a different glass eye for every occasion) and Tom Noonan plays the other villain, something of a slasher-movie type monster called "Ripper".  Anthony Quinn is around as a bit as Dance's employer who stupidly keeps making idiomatic malapropisms in the manner of Biff in Back to the Future; we know his minutes are numbered from the get-go.  Art Carney has a nice little cameo as Slater's "favorite second cousin" and Bridgette Wilson is there to lend some serious hotness.  There are some nice little specific movie references - Olivier's Hamlet transformed into Jack Slater's ("to be, or not to be...not to be" as he blows up the castle behind him) and Ian McKellen doing Bergman's death - but overall the satire is outweighed by action setpieces, and the film has a rather slapped-together feel to it, unsure as to what to do other than lumber towards a big splashy finish.

3916	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	This version is basically the 1980 "Special Edition" without the ridiculous "inside the Mother Ship" sequence at the end. All of the other scenes added for the special edition (The ship in the desert and the additional scenes of Roy Neary's breakdown) are here. The main scene cut from the original version, which shows Roy Neary at work at the power station is still missing, but it is present as one of 11 deleted scenes on the second disk of this set. Most of these scenes were justifiably cut from the film, adding nothing to the story. Most interesting is an alternate meeting between Bob Balaban and Francios Truffaut in a limousine at an airport. Similar dialog but different. This scene was clearly meant to follow the air traffic control scene that is still in the movie. Also includes the obligatory "Making of Documentary, clearly shot at the same time as "Saving Private Ryan" as Spielberg is filmed in front of a debris strewn European street. This is a first class DVD presentation. I just wish that they could have done what they did with "The Abyss" and include BOTH versions of the film.

 If Walt Disney had decided to make a film for adults, it would have looked something like "Close Encounters." Maybe Spielberg is the Walt Disney of the "Easy Rider" generation. And perhaps that is what "Close Encounters" eventually represents - a Baby Boomers' "Peter Pan."

As a film how does it work? Pretty well but there's minor nitpicks. While the existential aspect of the film delivers, as a "thriller" it's not as harrowing and exciting, the love story is not as developed as it should be and its recurring idea of a swimming race seems kinda odd but it's different so in a way it works but still, a character's life rests in his swimming abilities? Um ok. Acting-wise however it's great, sets and cinematography are lush and attractive and the music's really compelling.
A story as profound as Krakauer's and a mountain as big as Everest just shouldn't be forced onto the small screen.  The movie suffers greatly from the very things that mountainclimbers cannot do -- rush.  The movie pushes along at a relentless pace using fade to white as a time compression device.  The movie never takes its time until its way too late.  We can't decompress that fast!

Another difference that may matter to you: the new set does not include subtitles, whereas the old discs have both English and Spanish subtitles. It seems Shout! Factory left them out as part of their misguided effort to cram as many episodes on each disc as possible. I'm no fan of the double-sided disc format Fox used for the season releases, and it's a pain to switch the discs more often with fewer episodes per disc, but I'll take them over the new set any day.
It's a great flick about politics, "punks", society, love, and life.  I really like the characters, the way the film shows the growth of all the characters, and I feel the side bar things, such as narratives and explanations of scenes (the fight scene with the rednecks being what I'm referring to) are great for showing a point, moving the plot and also justifying some scenes to punch up the movie a bit.

-Another unique thing is once Slade has seen the light and transformed into a better man, he is still a bit of a grump. As if the transformation isn't instantaneous and is still a work in progress.

One might ask what would have happened to all of these characters if they had changed their minds along the way of their respective, individual quests and decided, instead, to stay with companions they had met along the way, or turn back and go back home? I remember when I first saw EASY RIDER as a kid, when it first came out in 1969. We all went to the movie theater as a group and all watched it together, getting a kick out of hippies smoking real pot, live and on camera. Some of us thought they should have stayed in the hippie commune. If they had lived, would they have stayed together? Would "Captain America" have gone back to be with those people? The same goes for INTO THE WILD. What would have happened if Christopher had stayed longer with his hippie friends in the trailer park? What would have happened if he left Alaska before the ice melted and went back to be with the girl he sang with who was a musician and who clearly cared for him? In THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES, what would have happened if Ernesto changed his mind and went back to be with his girlfriend? Would there have ever been a Cuban revolution? It's interesting that the characters in EASY RIDER had the goal of reaching a whorehouse, and the character in THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES - "Che Guevara" - was instrumental in ridding CUBA of all of its underworld-controlled and corrupt, exploitative whorehouses and gambling casinos! Who woulda thunk that - coming from this bookish, sensitive doctor!
(Note:  If you're wondering why they didn't load this DVD with extras, it's probably because of all the negative feedback this movie got and how little it made in the box office.  So don't complain about it and accept it.  How in the world do you expect them to put a lot of money on the DVD when it did so poorly at the theatres?)
As the film nears its conclusion, the viewer tries to guess just what is going to happen and how it will be resolved, but the surprises keep coming until the final scene.

Then, it turns out, she joins a security team to find out exactly what happened underneath RACCOON CITY. Seems the "Umbrella Corporation" has been dealing with some kind of virus outbreak and they want it contained. Now, why at the end of the movie, would you want to reopen the closed doors of the "hive" to find out exactly what went on down there? lol Answer: to let out all the fools that got turned into zombies so they could infect the others above ground for Episode 2: "Apocalypse".

I've never laughed so hard at an adaption which is supposed to be a tragic but uplifting love story.  Oh, let me count the ways....  First, the Jane Eyre character, played by Samantha Morton.  I thought she appeared to be a bit of a vindictive, spiteful, co-dependent girl.  She is a "Heather" in Victorian dress.  However, I think she was the perfect for this version of Mr. Rochester.  Oh boy.....
This film is so incredibly intricate and well thought out that I'm astounded every time I watch it.  It is also a technical achievement, for everything from the sets to the costumes to that wonderful score are all especially impressive; and then you have Jude Law's heartbreaking performance that is so sincere and commanding and unforgettable.  I wish that more movies were made with this intense interest in storytelling, in crafting something profound and unique and beautifully grounded.

This is the world according to Travis. A world that Travis will pack some heat with. Travis will have his revenge on them all. Travis will show them who is who and what is what.

People gasped out loud at DeNiro's graphic and casual reference to what went on in the backseat of his New York taxi. People were also extremely shocked by Jodie Foster playing a hardened twelve year-old prostitute. There is a gory bloodbath at the end. By today's standards, Taxi Driver is not very shocking; there is so much sex, gore, violence, and shooting in movies today that people are used to it. Nevertheless, Taxi Driver was a groundbreaking film.  Many movies after it have used its themes and style.
I found the ending symbolic of a Western in "Hell" showdown.

Charles Dickens's book "Oliver Twist" is wordy, long, and daunting, unless you are a strong and imaginative reader. The "Oliver Twist" DVD is great for the rest of us, because the story has been so polished and streamlined by so many people. Before TV and movies; before radio, every town had a theatre that performed plays. Every town in England and America performed the play "Oliver Twist"; for 90-years, until sound movies. For 90-years; these towns kept polishing the story and improving upon each other. Today; on DVD, the polished story skips along without a bump. The story "Great Expectations" did not get this polishing in the theatre and has a few bumps. Yet, even with the bumps; the 1947-version is a good story.


1682	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I now see why many people adore "Upstairs Downstairs," and also why it has its place among classic television. The whole show is actually a time capsule during the time of pre-WWI UK and after (up to the US stock market crash in 1929.) It is very interesting to note the various stages of changes that were happening during that time. It's like a history lesson but with more fun in it (apologies to my History teacher.) In this, the makers of this wonderful miniseries did not fail in their mission to make things as authentic as possible. Personally, I cannot boast about knowing much about English soceity during the Edwardian era, for my knowledge of it actually comes from period movies and television programs that I had seen before. But when I said "authentic," what I meant was that we can see and feel the labour of love that was put into every detail to make the show feel at home in its period setting.

7608	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	This was the movie that made me want to move to New York (hey, I was in grade school at the time).  Perfectly capturing the look of glam '70's in a way that other, more famous 70's movies didn't, this thriller delivers some real scares.  Faye Dunaway is actually pretty good as the beleagured Laura Mars.  She overacts in a few scenes, but for the most part isn't bad at all. Tommy Lee Jones is great as the detective that falls for her, and the supporting cast, while a little cardboard, aren't too bad (except for the dead model's boyfriend at the funeral- while the cops wrestle him to the ground, he practically yodels his line "you're gonnnnaaa paaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy!" while Faye dives into the limo to avoid the paparazzi), and the look of the movie; the clothes, the sets, all have a dark, glossy richness that remind us that "Saturday Night Fever" was not the way everybody dressed back then.  The quality of the DVD is not great, and there is no stereo, but it's a well-priced disc, and a pretty fun movie.  I wish they'd re-relase the soundtrack to it.

Then there's Elmo.  Up until now, I only knew Elmo from all the commercials for Elmo-related products, so it was good to finally see just what all the fuss has been about.  He's a cool little monster, and it's easy to see how he has become so popular with the youngsters; I especially love the way he always refers to himself in the third person.  I also was gratified to find out just what lies inside and beneath Oscar's garbage can after all these years.  Throw in some music and dancing as well as a couple of notable guest appearances, and you've got yourself a movie I really enjoyed.

So why is this something you'd want to see again.  Actually, it's the fighting.  Rarely has anyone filmed a movie with more innovative fist fighting styles.  I'm guessing that a lot of the actual punches thrown, would not be practical in any real fight, still they look great on film. Each of the main fights has its own array of tactics that make in interesting.  The best of which, is the second before last fight, which boasts some interesting, overhead camera work.
The sub-plot of the movie revolves around Beth, played by Bonnie Hunt.  I love Bonnie Hunt!  I always have, and she is so endearing in this film.  She goes with Faith to Italy in her search for Damon, thinking all along she's a bit crazy.  Her one liners are good chuckles, and they are all delivered with Bonnie's talent for snark.  However, her character is dealing with her own heartache and suspicion that her husband, Larry, is having an affair.  Along the way, she meets the very dreamy and handsome Joaquim de Almeida, who shows an interest in the beautiful blonde American.
Indeed, this film features some of the finest performances I had ever witnessed. Everyone does a spectacular job, but there are some standouts. Ethan Hawke gives the finest performance I ahve ever seen out of him. Ditto for Uma Thurman, who gives a perfect icy performance as Irene. And Jude Law... plays a perfect person in a way that had me crying foul when he wasn't nominated for best supporting actor.

  Skip the remake, stick with the original. It makes more sense. It has more accessible characters.  Peter Vincent actually has depth rather than the show pretense of depth with the added backstory given in the remake.  Charlie is a lot nicer and a lot more sympathetic in the  original. And this one had memorable and catchy songs on the soundtrack. The vampires are more frightening while at the same time more charming and strangely sympathetic while also terrifying and deadly.  The humor isn't forced and there's no obnoxious product placement.  The remake...  has none of these qualities.  This is by far the superior film.  Skip the remake, kids.  Stick with the original!

Another problem:  the geniuses behind this film were obviously trying to clinch the attention of the males in the theatre by having Jennifer Love Hewitt run around in white t-shirts drenched with rain.  As a heterosexual female, I got tired of seeing Ms. Hewitt bounce around and felt this move was cheap on behalf of the filmmakers.  Well, with a sub-par plot and mediocre acting, I guess they felt the need to do something.

The leader of the terrorist highjackers is Ivan Korshunov (Gary Oldman) who is clearly insane, and has no qualms about killing in cold blood. Back in the White House Situation Room sits Vice-President Kathryn Bennett (Glenn Close) trying to cope with it all. Her advisers can't agree, the military folks present various pretty drastic alternatives, and the highjackers have said they will execute one hostage every half hour until their General is released from prison and they have confirmation of the fact.
Roy Neary's going into the ship in the '80 version was a studio decision that Spielberg was dead-set against, but his clout in Hollywood wasn't as strong back then. The studio executives thought it's what the audience wanted. His "Director's Cut" is the REAL Spielberg version. I must agree; the extra effects in the '80 version diminished the awe of Neary's adventure, a sort of anti-climax.

They fight and quarrel for a good first half of the movie, but ------ realizing that they are both going to have to rely on the other to get out of their situation or to even survive ------ they gradually form an uneasy alliance.

But without Hollywood a person would not get the deep down war camera views. I totally loved it, and it  basically pretty fair on the true story of Joan of Arc.
It really is a shame though that, after a great setup, the story the film actually delivers is that of a by-the-numbers, mediocre sci-fi thriller. A good hour or so of the film's hour and 45 minutes is spent on a string of close-calls where our protagonist - an "invalid" posing as a "valid" in hopes of fulfilling his dream of space travel - evades authorities who are on his trail. That's pretty much it. There is barely any character development that occurs during this section of the film (or even after for that matter) and the juiciness of the world and its moral implications is neglected in favor of underwhelming "thrills" as Ethan Hawke thinks on his feet to evade being discovered.

1913	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	good action and suspense
5122	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I waited a long time to see this movie. I only knew that it was the film that John Hinckley watched before he tried to murder Ronald Reagan to impress Jodie Foster. Hinckley pretty much tries to do a De Niro in real life, but it's here that De Niro really makes a name for himself. After a few years of low budget films, and slowly working up the chain with "Bang The Drum Slowly", and "The Godfather 2" He tackles the character of Travis Bickle with reckless abandon. Bickle is a Veitnam vet who after serving over there is lost in America, and he drifts into a taxi-cab company one day to drive a cab. This is 70's America put on film masterfully by Scorsese as I like the clouds of smoke coming from the cab which reminds me of dream sequence. The dream is dead as no one wants to be the hero anymore. Veitnam has hardened America's hearts and minds. However, the same people that "Turned On, Tuned In, and Dropped Out" are still doing it in the 70's, but this time they do it from behind a desk as they are now no longer dirty hippies, but clean-cut businessmen, and women. They have now taken the stance that it just doesn't matter anymore. I see this as Bickle sees the drek that NYC has become, and how people just don't want to deal with you, or know your pain unless you do something for them, and this is evident when Bickle sees Betsy played by Cybill Shepphard. Betsy is a campaign manager for the canadate for the President of the United States, and Bickle wants to volunteer, but to get close to Betsy. Well anyway it's 1976, and Veitnam has been over for a year, and the Christian revival that went down in Dallas in 1972 has waned out, and this is what we're left with as Bickle has 1,001 nightmares in the backseat of his cab, but the one that touches him the most is a 12 year old prostitute played by Foster who had only done Disney movies before this. Bickle decides to help her out, and gives her money, and then does the next big thing which is to kill her pimp which gives him 15 minutes of fame, and he is labelled as a hero for doing this. I feel that this is what was going on in Hinckley's mind when he went to D.C. to murder Reagan as Reagan in his first months as President would make alot of changes that are still rippling through America today, and some aren't for the better. I guess this is why "Rocky" beat out "Taxi Driver" for best picture of 1976 because with "Rocky" it's about a person who came out of nowhere, and took on the champ in the boxing ring. This is what America had come up with to heal the wounds that Veitnam left on her as with "Rocky" it gave America something to cheer about again where "Taxi Driver" was about an Anti-Hero that killed bad to bring about good?, or did it? I mean it was bad enough that the main character served in Vietnam, but to make him a hero because he killed a pimp to save a 12 year old prostitute was not America's cup of tea back then. I don't know if it had anything to do with the fact that it showed the negatives, or what, but those who did go to Vietnam they deserve the honor and respect that all our servicemen deserve. Perhaps the final scene is rather memorable as Bickle picks up Betsy in his cab, and drives her home as she's going that way, and all of a sudden because he killed the pimp she's looking at him in a different light now as someone she may want to date. However, Bickle isn't buying it now as yes he made a mistake by taking her to porno movie, but after he tries to apologize to her, and make things right it takes him killing a pimp to get her to think differently about him well that's too much. This is a movie not for the kids definitely, and probably not for some adults either. It's a taste of how Americans, and humans in general have been pretty much isolating themselves from each other for one reason, or another, and it's a sad thing to see happen, and over 30 years later it's still happening, and in some ways it's worse today than it was in 1976.

More appropriately one may ask how they look. They look good, very good. If you relish a series like "The Avengers" or "Twilight Zone" you no doubt know about the content of what you are getting. You are more likely concerned about the quality of what you are getting. Like John might say to Emma, "You scratch my back I'll scratch your back." Thank Mother.

7607	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I have a tremendous soft-spot for this movie.  Sadly, I am old enough to have seen it in the theater, but I own the DVD and have watched it too many times to admit.  I loved this era: NYC was at it chicest,, sexiest, grimiest best.  The sets/locations alone make this worth watching.  Laura's pier studio, c'mon, awesome.  The clothes were so fabulous for the era, the music... Lets All Chant, man!.  Faye Dunaway, Tommy Lee Jones, Brad Dourif, Raul Julia - c'mon!  How awesome can you get.  This is a masterpiece of imperfection and pure fabulousness!  I LOVE this movie. And I am not ashamed to say that it's one of my all time favorites.
He surely did. I really miss Michael Jeter.
I agree fully with the reviewer G. Black, in that Tom Keogh's editorial review of "Annie" is totally off-the-mark and ridiculous.  There is no way that this presentation of Annie is "charmless and dull," I have seen this movie countless times, the first time being when I was about five years old.  I recently purchased the DVD version, and continue to love it just as I always have.  I love the musical performances by the girls in the orphanage, they are so talented!  Oliver Warbuck's character is portrayed wonderfully by Albert Finney, and Carol Burnett steals the show as the wicked and drunk Miss Hannigan.  I give this release five stars, but would like to see Annie released in widescreen format, as a few other reviewers have expressed.  All-in-all, this is a wonderful production of Annie.  Enjoy it!
Oh yeah, also while at the end of the first film, we see a guy ripped away to be used for some experiment and we the audience actually are upset; but, in the second film the tenderness for this man-turned-mutant is never developed enough for us to care, and I mean at all.

Samantha Morton brings Jane's underlying strength of character to life and Ciaran Hinds, as Mr. Rochester, does very well with a character that can easily be overplayed to the point of silliness.  They are supported by a strong cast, including Gemma Jones as Mrs. Fairfax.  The overall production value is as high as the caliber of the acting.

I wouldn't own this one but it's worth a watch on one of the premium movie channels if you're bored. I'm only hoping that another sequel isn't made, this was enough of a waste of money and film.

6085	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I've always had a certain fondness for this movie and yet I've only just watched it beginning to end for the first time. Perhaps it is because this movie is comfort food for the eye. This is a pleasant pleasing romantic comedy. This is also something of a watershed moment for leading star and cowriter Steve Martin. For me Roxanne has always represented the cinematic moment when Steve Martin stopped being the over-the-top "wild and crazy guy of SNL, and  The Jerk" and admitted that not only was he intelligent but that he could respect his audience.
The cast is really good even though the boy seems a little annoying at first. By the end of the movie you will probably think Jack Slater to be really awesome. Anyways, I enjoyed it. There was humor, some one-liners, but the movie was extremely well done and extremely entertaining. 5 stars.

Andrew W. Marlowe's melodramatic screenplay shows more agility than innovation. While his characters emerge as largely one-dimensional stick figures, the dimensions of their predicaments assume nothing less than cataclysmic proportions. Marlowe's script keeps Harrison Ford leaping through enough flaming hoops to fill three movies. Like several other summer blockbusters, Marlowe's script does not know when to throw in the towel. Just about everything that can happen aboard "Air Force One" occurs. Presumably, with the recent spate of skyjacking movies, it was only a matter of time before Hollywood appropriated both Air Force One and the President as the pulp of their fictional escapade.

Jerry Goldsmith's score is excellent, giving the film an additional intensity, and even revving up excitement during the quieter moments. The main theme is a bit overly patriotic, but undeniably rousing.  Hard to say, but this is probably the famed composer's best score since Rudy.

I adore Ciaran Hinds as Mr. Rochester, and although Samantha Morton captured the fairy quality of Jane Eyre, I never felt she represented the fire she had inside, and there is little chemistry between the two actors onscreen.

8834	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Great film about personal honor and the warrior spirit -- in a world where no one else exhibits any. The fighter does what he has to do, what he can do -- as well as he can, as long as he can, willing to sacrifice what he must to succeed. This is warrior spirit and personal honor, which can also be seen in "The thirteenth Warrior," another much misunderstood film. Now that hard times are upon us, more of us should be watching movies like this for inspiration!
  Truvy's newly hired assistant, Annelle Dupuy(an initially and uncharacteristically mousy-looking Daryl Hannah) arrives amid a personal crisis. Shelby generously invites her to the wedding, but in a bit of forshadowing,suffers an attack of hypoglycemia in the salon chair due to the stress and excitement of her big day. Family friend Clariee Belcher (Olympia Dukakis)lends a hand during the attack. After the episode passes, the wedding day is beautiful,and we are even treated to dancing with a little regional flair, and the view of the armadillo-shaped groom's cake made by the groom's aunt Fern (Ann Wedgeworth), although M'Lynn expresses concern about the diabetic Shelby's desire to have a child, and the concerned expression on her face is highly visible as the couple leave for their honeymoon.
8815	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Walter Hill's debut feature film as director is the perfect action movie that just oozes character developement from the primary actors to the secondary, peripheral ones, and is filled with quotable dialog and terrific bare-knuckle action set-pieces. Bronson is perfect as the mysterious drifter who lets his fists do his talking, Coburn as the fast-talking wheeler-dealer whose out-of-control gambling sets in motion the climactic brawl, but it is the stoned Strother Martin who steals the movie as Poe, the medic and descendant of Edgar Allen Poe (..."hear the tinkle of the bells...").

Excellent story line and excellent acting. I know you will be glued to the TV to watch each episode.

Even if one treats it as a ride in an amusement park, the movie fails to really deliver. The zombie attacks are clichd, and you could feel that even the cast sometimes shows in the movie their own lack of interests. Humor, in any form, is also conspicuously missing in the movie. Overall, no matter what you are looking for, I would not recommend this movie.

After the first 5 minutes it was all downhill from there. There is nothing exceptional about this movie. I've seen much better biker movies or better movies of any genre you want to classify this as. The direction is poor. There is a reason nobody would give Dennis Hopper a job for a long time after this. His next movie was a bomb and I think Hollywood realized he just go lucky with the reviews. The editing is poor also. There are several inconsisticies. The acting is well below average also. Not to mention the 'locals' they used didn't help matters. While I was watching it I said to myself "I'll bet they just used local people, these people can't act" and sure enough I learned that's exactly what they did. It ends terribly and I learned nothing other than the hippie movement was a waste of time. There is nothing in this movie that stands the test of time. It appears to be a movie about a bunch of losers who did nothing with their lives. I don't want to make this sound like a political discussion but what good is all this 'freedom' they talk about so for you if you do nothing with it other than to live like an animal. Then again I don't spend my life smoking weed either so I guess I'll never understand.
Also included are subtitles "for people who don't like the film". There's also an extra 24 seconds added in the film...

7005	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	This movie is based on a video game that I have never played, so I can't comment on how the movie's plot follows the game.  When the movie starts, there is a really cool aspect to it.  A naked woman has just regained consciousness in her shower and can't remember anything.  The next few minutes are packed with action, and a team of military personnel take them to the Hive (an underground research lab).  Slowly each of them get filled in on the details of the mission.  What that mission is, you'll have to watch the movie (or e-mail me) for.
Highly entertaining as always, far out, sometimes provoking, and certainly politically incorrect. But that's exactly what makes 'The Holy Grail' a very funny, respectless film!

This is a sample of a new Paradigm which when fully explored, accepted, and implemented in our private and daily lives and policies, will protect us from falling prey to the miseries of apartheid, "Jim Crow Society", The Caste System, racist attitudes so clearly and chillingly portrayed in America, and elsewhere, and in our tendencies towards being religiously fanatical in our interpretations and applications of Religious principles.

Jeff Daniels does a solid job as Washington, but I was surprised at the crassness of language the screen writers added. I am not saying that Washington never spoke in such a manner, but in all the books that I have read, I have never come across a time that Washington spoke in such a manner. Still, the story is incredible... and true.

Several reviewers have complained about the scene with Joseph and Potipher's wife, a femme fatale portrayed with unabashed glee by Leslie Ann Warren.  This scene is sexually charged, but I believe it is accurate with Scripture.  The Bible doesn't sugarcoat things, nor should we think the Bible hereos were not susceptible to temptation.  Although God never reveals if Potipher's wife was a temptation to Joseph, I logically don't see how she could not have ben.  He was, after all, seventeen when the attempted seduction took place.  Wouldn't any of us struggle in this area at this age? Besides, seeing Joseph struggle makes the viewer empathize with his predicament.  Anyway, I say this only to encourage you not to let this one scene put you off.  Please give this wonderful film a chance.  Happy viewing, and God bless you.
The only things Chaney has going for him are his fists.  Yes, I agree:  it makes no sense that a guy living a hand-to-mouth existence riding the rails should be "tough as a nickel steak" (James Coburn's words) and strong as a well-nourished plow horse.  But it makes no sense that a guy who was fifty-four when the movie was made should have a perfect physique.  Not the bulk of a power-lifter or the almost effeminate definition of a broadly smiling, artfully posing, bare-footed body builder, but the sleek, perfectly proportioned, thick-muscled leanness of a natural, somebody who doesn't have to work at it.
The bad reputation is unjustified. The financial loss was a mistake entirely on Sony's part and their lack of foresight into the 1993 summer season. Last Action Hero and Jurassic Park went head-to-head with their advertising but the dinosaur movie's marketing campaign was just too groundbreaking. They also competed with each other on a technical level. JP was the first film to feature DTS sound, while Last Action Hero was the first to feature SDDS (Sony Dynamic Digital Sound), an eight-channel system that delivers every decibel of Slater's big gun and the multiple explosions of his daily life.
5164	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	Scorsese grew up amidst violence and bloodshed.  That he is able to reproduce murder and mayhem so realistically is an achievement that deserves one star.  The rest of the film, with its hookers, pimps, and contrived direction is really not worth mentioning.  A perfect example of intense violence mistaken for great artistic expression.  "Taxi Driver" is, quite simply, not nearly as good as "enlightened" cinephiles make it out to be.

In one of the most famous scenes ever, Travis says: "You talkin' to me? Well, I'm the only one here." And that was too true. He really was alone.

So here I'm going to concentrate my review on the Columbia Tristar super-hyped "Superbit" series and I can sum up my evaluation in three little words - DON'T BE FOOLED!  While it's true that packing on excessive extra features and a feature film onto one side of a DVD "can" result in a loss of digital quality in the transfer, this is not really an issue when the movie itself runs just under the two hour mark and the extra features amount to a fifteen minute "making of" featurette and some theatrical trailers.
Interestingly, the idea of genetics is woven into the movie in very many ways, some subtle, some explicit. The very title, Gattaca, consists of the strands of bases that comprise the double helix of DNA G (guanine), A (adenine), C (cytosine), and T (thymine) -- the sequence of these bases constitutes genetic information, much as the arrangement of the 26 letters of this alphabet constitutes information.
A decent set overall. Not all of the films are keepers for me, but "Young Frankenstein" makes up for a lot.

Although the plot is kinda lame, this movie boasts state of the art (in 1983) aerial combat action sequences over Los Angeles (L.A. natives will recognize the Piper Tech building, where air support is headqurtered, the downtown cityscape, the L.A. river), and a cool chase scene through the LA River, which like the rest of L.A., is concrete and steel.  Roy Scheider (Murphy), Daniel Stern(Lymangood), and Warren Oates (in his last picture), give great performances, however, Malcom MacDowell's character, a sinister Army Lt. Colonel, is a bit hard to believe.  The real star of the show here is Blue Thunder, a modified 1972 French Gazelle, outfitted with listening devices, video and infrared cams, and an M61 20mm vulcan cannon fitted to the nose. Blue Thunder is able to see through walls, peek down dresses at 1000 feet, and destroy a city block at the touch of a button. Some will notice the similarities to the Apache AH-64, and the cockpit windows are faceted, much like the then-classified stealth fighter.

I must say that this is a very "Hollywood" movie.  No great character development, no scenes of dramatic dialogue exposition, and no worries about recycling a few Woo cliches.  But it works!  It works perfectly!  Honestly, there is not a bad actor present in this film.  Despite the relative lack of depth in individual characters because of the multitudes of them, it really doesn't hinder the movie.  Remember that the 3 main leads are all relative newcomers to the acting world, so their performances are all the more impressive.
4922	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	If you can relate to this character you will love this film, if you can't this may be the worst film ever. I think people who watch and relate to the character will be very frustrated, and hurt on a very cathartic level. There is so much depth put Into each shot of the film, I've must have seen the film 20 times and still find new things in it. DeNiro put so much heart and soul into his method acting you will feel so many emotions coming from his character. Watching all the extras and listening to the commentaries adds a new dimension to everything about the film. There's so many layers and aspects to the film it's hard to even know where to begin. The bluray looks amazing.
Street location footage and the hiding in the swamps of Louisiana footage help NO MERCY remain a credible viewing entertainment.  Some of the hard-boiled dialogue by the police Captain (George Dzundza, for example -- who is good otherwise) is too easy to laugh at:  "I don't like you I don't wanna' swap spit ...(really?  It comes from out of no where too..) but, basically it's "go get'tum tiger".  Legalities have become an afterthought.
Never mind, just sit back, enjoy the wonderful colors of the sets and outfits, and get ready to have fun.

Gere's still relatively young here (36). I realize many hate him, but I'm a fan of quite a few of his pictures, e.g. "The Mothman Prophecies", "King David" and "An Officer and a Gentleman". Kim Basinger doesn't do much for me personally, although she's certainly pretty and her acting is effective here. I know it's a matter of taste but "No Mercy" provides zero 'babe appeal' for me.

I abandoned Blu-ray after I found it to be too restrictive of a format. Hardcore DRM that requires firmware updates via Sony servers and limited access to view your disks anywhere you want.

Most of all, I think people long for a president who's more like James Marshall here, than the one we had in 1997 or the one we have now.

It's a movie that is filmed well, cast well, has a enjoyable soundtrack relative to the 80's and never takes itself to seriously as a horror genre film.

8424	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Elmo in grouch land is a great stepping stone from Sesame Street. The kids loved watching and had fun after the 2nd and 3rd time watching singing along to all the fun songs. Elmo is always so cute and this gives kids more than the 15 mins from Elmo time on Sesame Street.
In print, the premise sounds painfully unfunny... almost a joke unto itself. And, perhaps if they'd stuck to their guns about the whole "knights in shining armor" thing, that early judgment may have been partially right. But a great deal of what makes this so fun to watch is the way the characters interact with one another, address their environments and simply carry themselves. The Knights of the Round Table chat amongst each other in a very modern, almost twentieth century style. Formalities are few and far between, and supporting characters whose entire role in any other period piece would have been limited to "Yes, sire, I'll retrieve my master this very moment" are here given the chance to argue the finer points of foreign birds and migratory patterns. Unimportant lackeys dive into in-depth dissertations at the drop of a hat, spiraling off into a tangent with little or no provocation. Literally hundreds of medieval cliches are addressed and promptly disposed of throughout the course of the film, while simple, obvious visual puns are thrown out like darts at every moment. It's a film that anyone can enjoy, regardless of intelligence, age or demeanor. There's literally something for everyone.

6438	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	Resident Evil: Apocalypse is a gargantuan bomb of a movie and why do you ask is beacause it is just plain horrible. Bad writing, acting and the action set pieces are mind numbingly crappy and non exciting. This sequel takes place right after the original in the desolate town of Racoon City where the virus has spread even more and the inhabitants become zombies. Just like the first one this suffers but the first one was a notch better in my mind. Starring Mill Jovovich (Resident Evil, The Fifth Element), Oded Fehr (The Mummy and The Mummy Returns), Mike Epps (Next Friday, Friday After Next), Jared Harris (I Shot Andy Warhol, Igby Goes Down) and Alan Tudyk (28 Days, Tv's Firefly). I hated everything about this movie and the Nemesis creature was laugh out loud funny. This bored the hell out of me. I gotta say this goes down the line for being so retarded like Van Helsing was. The chick who played Jill Valentine and the others sprouted some awful dialouge. "im good but not that good" please. For die hard fans of Resident Evil but beware, these people don't know how to make a good movie if it bit them in the ass. I don't really care what other's say..hey, at least I got some taste. This movie is for no-brainers.



I know fans won't be happy because it changes certain things from the game. Such as, The Biohazard Counter Measure Force. In the movie, they were there for a completely different reason than the game, and I don't think they were mercanaries.

Despite one or two slow periods in the film, this is definitely a comedy you need to have a pulse to get.  The DVD specal edition has it's own little moments of humor as well.  Not only do you have commentaries from the members of Monty Python (above ground, anyway), but even subtitles in Shakespearean form (for the more high-brow types).  The second disc is where you'll find a shrubbery full of features, including sing-alongs and my prsonal favorite in this set, part of the film done with Legos (you know, the blocks you put together to make stuff that you may have played with during your kiddie years)!

1322	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	Let's face it...this movie is terrible, whether or not you compare it to the brilliant sixties series.  I went in with an open mind, knowing that Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg will always be John Steed and Emma Peel.  I thought the addition of Sean Connery as the villain would be a delight.  WRONG.  The tv shows' wonderful theme by Laurie Johnson is used quietly in a couple of scenes, but the main theme is another one of those preprogrammed pieces of musical nothingness.  Uma Thurman acted like she was on Prozac and Ralph Fiennes looked like he was a little boy playing like he was John Steed. And Sean, what a lousy performance..you know you could have done better.  I did like the mechanical bees sequence; the only true original touch in the movie.  The teddy bears was preposterous and almost worked, but since the whole movie was such a drag, I'm not sure anything could save it.  Macnee was smart in his invisible cameo role.  Too bad Uma didn't back out and get replaced by a more lively Mrs. Peel.

But still, this is a very engrossing film that, love it or hate it, will stick with you.  Not destined to be a classic, but good nonetheless.

Leslie-Anne Warren is  the lustful wife of Potiphar, who unsuccessfully tries to seduce Joseph,  and lands him in the Pharoah's prison.  This film offers a very credible  depiction of life in the ancient Near East, from the desert tents of the  Hebrews, to the claustrophobic walled towns like Sichem, to the lushness of  civilized Egypt and the Pharoah's court. The film is faithful to the  Biblical account, and succeeds in making it come alive on the screen.  A  well-acted, well-scripted, and entertaining film.  END

Watching the film, it's hard to believe that Bronson was 54 years old when he commenced filming...Bronson's younger years saw his physique shown off in several movies, and he was still in good enough condition to still get his shirt off and flex his muscles for "Hard Times". I recollect reading two interesting descriptions about Bronson...one said "he looks like a Clark Cable that has been left out in the sun too long", and the other likened him to a bonsai tree "gnarled, twisted and rooted to the one spot" !!
Don't get me wrong: I've enjoyed "Pumping Iron", "Conan the Barbarian", etc., but this has so much.  He's the hero, the anti-hero, the poker of ironical fun in action movie conventions, and he has a great supporting cast.  Charles Dance, in particular, just shines.  He's the perfect foil.

I laughed and laughed and laughed, and then the opening credits ended and the film began.
Realistically, noone expects this movie to win any oscars. However, it is a little bit funner than most of Paul W.S. Anderson's other masterpieces. The thing is, you will be laughing at the action rather than be exhilarated by it. My favorite part in the movie is when they take a shortcut through a cemetary. It's priceless.

Directed by Robert Redford, I'd say that A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT is his best accomplishment as a film director. Redford also narrates it from the point of view of the main character Norman MacLean (played with sublime confidence by Craig Sheffer). Redford's narration is perhaps the best narration that I've heard in any film...EVER! His narrative is a huge reason why this film works; it is perfectly timed, placed, and spaced, almost like another character in the film. It is ironic that Redford narrates from the POV of Sheffer's character Norman, when it is Brad Pitt, the actor that plays Norman's younger brother Paul, that was considered to be the second coming of Redford. Pitt, who is invigorating and engrossing performance as Paul, gives perhaps the most unpretentious performance of his career. While Norman is our guide and observer, Paul is the film's center, the conduit between the clean-cut, pristine world of the MacLean family (the typical American ideal) and the local brothels, bars, and gambling joints (the seedy underbelly of society).

His broken personality and his troubled mind slowly will be building a revenge agent of some causes that still may be preserved from that awful world .
But even the rabbit scene hooks back into the medieval theme, as it links to an exploration of a cave with literary texts that conclude because "....arrgh...." Well, indeed, many medieval texts remain unfinished, perhaps because the authors died, more likely due to the vagaries of preservation. So Monty Python has something to say not only about history and literature but about literary history; in its very aesthetic form, this film reminds us that the standard linear narrative is not the only way of organizing a story. Many medieval stories are likewise structured either allegorically or with significant disruptions, such as this film has, that reveal that a story is something that is constructed and has its gaps and interventions.

Richard Dreyfuss is at his usual terrific best in the role of Ron Neary, another of Spielberg's "Everyman" characters.  He is an Indiana power lineman who is called out on a night where the entire city of Muncie goes dark.  Then, at a railroad crossing, he is suddenly shocked by the appearance of a UFO, flooding him with brilliant white light.  This encounter soon turns both him and his life upside down; his wife (Teri Garr) and kids can't understand his obsession with turning the shape of mashed potatoes or mounds of dirt from his backyard into a mysterious mountain he's been seeing in his mind.  Meanwhile, a lonely mother (Melinda Dillon) has her own close encounters with the UFOs, resulting in the still-unseen aliens abducting her son (Cary Guffey).  She too has visions of a mysterious mountain, visions which find their way into paintings and colorings.

Let's just say this is a theatre piece, and dramatic elements have to be employed to add to the plot or sequence of events. That this, and so many movies of its kind employ the use of Russians as the enemy (usually using a British actor to supply the villainy) perpetuates stereotypes and misinformation that has existed since the Cold War's birth. I loved the fact that America was seen as a bastion of technology, with blinking lights and computer screens, and intercoms, technology at the helm, while Russia and its leader had a little red phone and a bear on his table. Fantastic. It automatically sets up a perception that Russia is weaker on all fronts, and the victor will always be America, so the whole premise of the film being America in danger is compromised by its visualisation of its power as compared to Eastern Europe. It throws the whole plot out the window by default.

THE PROBLEM, The problem with Resident Evil Apocalypse is that the camera views are awful. When you watch a fight seen you want to see the fight at a good angle and on many different angles. The views were so bad it's almost hard to describe them  but think about seeing a fight seen and the whole time the camera's focused on the person's chest the entire fight there's kicking and punching but you can't see much of the kicking or punching.

The terrorists, led by Ivan Korshunov (Oldman), are seeking the immediate release of General Alexander Radek (Jurgen Prochnow), who was snatched from his palace in Kazakhstan by a joint team of Russian and American Special Forces.  Radek and his followers believe in the restoration of the old Soviet Union, and until both Russia and the U.S. intervened, had ruled Kazakhstan with as much regard for human life as the Taliban exhibited when they ruled Afghanistan.  After a ceremony hosted by the grateful Russian President in which Marshall warns rogue nations and terrorists that "we will no longer be afraid. It's your turn to be afraid," the American delegation heads to one of Moscow's main airports to board the Presidential plane.
The same happens in this movie. Ethan Hawke is born a degenerate, someone born only through his parents without any interference. His brother however was 'crafted'. He has a heart condition which should have killed him but he is still alive. His dream is to get into space and he therefore takes on the identity of someone who is capable of going into space but is crippled. Through DNA tricks he tries to but gets involved in a murder scandal.

6609	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	This version of Joan of Arc was a complete and utter disgrace. The apparent point of this movie is to depict Joan as completely insane and no real saint.  So insane, in fact, that this character of Joan was completely unable to have a normal conversation with anyone.  None of the other characters in the film have even a smidgen of respect for her.  The closest thing to respect would be amusement to the fruits of insanity to have one's way.  One goes away with the feeling that not a single worthwhile human value was in place.  A story of a traumatized and visibly very insane woman inducted by the elite of the time as a useful fool and then completely discarded in her time of need after literally saving France and restoring the crown.  To add insult to injury, Jesus was depicted as demonic and hideous with bulging eyes, looking like he was in drag, covered in blood, and frightful. A brutal murder-rape was "added" to the story to make it known that Joan was not speaking to saints or doing God's work but a severely traumatized, very immediately visibly mentally ill person who ultimately chose her own death to appease her delusions.
The means of escape is through a helicopter.  That's it.  That's the big plan.  Hijack a helicopter.  But of course, it's all a trap, and ultimately Alice and Nemesis must duke it out...for some reason.  Something about the perfect weapon, yadda yadda.
The actor who plays Jesus is wonderfully believeable. He manages to portray Jesus as a real individual, a combination  of divine love and purpose but filled with joy and sorrow and compassion. I highly recommend this account of Jesus' time on earth.

6989	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Resident evil is a movie that will be liked by several different audiences.  There are aspects that will be liked and disliked by horror movie fans, as well as fans of the game.  For a movie based on a video game, it was very well done.  For the most part the story stayed true to the video game's plot.  Some of the characters from the game were missing which I'm sure will upset more than a few.  But all in all, the feel of the video game runs true.  There was a scene where Milla Jovovich wakes up in the shower with a temporary case of amnesia.  She starts looking through the drawers in the room and you can almost picture "There is nothing of interest here" printed across the bottom of the screen.  For the horror fans in general there are some nice shock tactics used at times and the creatures are really well done.  It's very worth seeing.
The two-disc collector's edition includes the movie in wide screen format, with a second disc that contains a making-of documentary, eleven deleted scenes, plus theatrical trailers. Both picture and sound are excellent and considering it's a two-DVD set, the price is affordable. I give this movie a strong endorsement.
So in closing, if you're looking for a good terrorist thriller in this post-9/11 world, look no further than Air Force One on Superbit.
3210	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	A somewhat interesting movie due to the time period this movie was filmed. Basically, this movie was nothing special and pretty much like a million other movies out there.
The production is fantastic, as is the photography and script adaptation.  I have only two beefs with this production--first, the actress playing Adele was too old and rather irritating.  Second, I absolutely hate the singing voice they dubbed in for Edward/Ciaran--that high, operatic tenor just didn't seem like it could come out of his throat.  If they could have fixed those two things, this would have been the perfect version.

3841	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I really liked the way this movie used mystery and linked it with good feelings. Spielberg and others who worked on this film, used their imaginations to create positive symbols for the unknown. Roy who was played by Richard Dreyfuss, was child like in his excitement and drive to discover and learn more about his encounter. His child like desire seems to touch the viewer and get them caught up in the movie, feeling his fascination. He kept saying, "I know this is important"! The film has awesome special effects and for that time period was really spectacular. It is definately a classic, at least for me. The only sad part was that Roy's family left him. They seemed like a happy, busy, bustling family before Roy's encounter. Instead of supporting him, they turned away with fear and distance. I felt that was dissappointing. Although, I liked watching him build the mud mountain in his living room, if I was his wife, I may have drawn the line of support there. I also liked Teri Garr's performance. I think she is a good and funny actor. Wouldn't it be eerie to experience an encounter? It kinda makes you wonder if anything is being covered up out there, stuff they don't want you to know about???
"Easy Rider is the late 1960s "road film" tale of a search for freedom (or the illusion of freedom) in a conformist and corrupt America, in the midst of paranoia, bigotry and violence. Released in the year of the Woodstock concert, and made in a year of two tragic assassinations (Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King), the Vietnam War buildup and Nixon's election, the tone of this 'alternative' film is remarkably downbeat and bleak, reflecting the collapse of the idealistic 60s. Easy Rider, one of the first films of its kind, was a ritualistic experience and viewed (often repeatedly) by youthful audiences in the late 1960s as a reflection of their hopes of liberation and fears of the Establishment."

So, if you're a fan of the game or horror/thriller movies, see this as soon as you can. I'm definitely gonna see it again. I can't wait till they release it on DVD!

Ouiser Boudreaux, a bitter, ill tempered and outspoken lady, played deserving of an award by Shirley MacLaine joins the women and she puts Annelle through a rather fun and entertainment interview.
And it's beautifully filmed. Everything is full of clean lines and cold light, with the occasional moment of symbolism -- note that the apartment that Eugene and Vincent share is centered around a giant DNA-style spiral staircase.
Michelle  Pfeiffer portrays a young photographer, living an idyllic life in Madison,  Wisconsin with a loving and devoted husband (Treat Williams) and three  adorable young children. While in Chicago for a class reunion, every  parent's ultimate nightmare becomes a reality: her middle child  unaccountably disappears in the middle of a crowded hotel lobby. These  scenes, in which she undergoes a sense of mounting panic as well as a  crushing sense of guilt and personal self-doubt, are more terrifying than  anything contained in a conventional "horror" film. We cringe too  as the investigators come up against one blank wall after another,  empathizing fully with a mother driven to desperation in the face of the  unspeakable.

- Travis is sitting in his apartment watching American Bandstand on TV. He is angered by the celebration of adolescent sexuality he sees and how "human" and accessible it is portrayed to be. In contrast, Travis is completely unable to conceptualize himself in this rite of passage, due to the self loathing image he has built up in his mind. Travis then sees an empty pair of shoes on the floor amidst the dancing couples, a stark metaphor for his inability to relate to the world he finds himself in.

"The Master Minds" is one of my personal favorites, about a MENSA-esque high-I.Q. club called RANSACK, which utilizes the best minds in Britain  -  without their knowledge  -  to infiltrate and sabotage military bases, and steal state secrets for sale to the highest bidder.  It's quite similar to Ian Fleming's contemporaneous James Bond novel, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"  -  which, amusingly enough, starred Diana Rigg in the film version.  Like "Castle De'ath," Steed and Emma work undercover at the same location, but with a far different result:  Emma becomes brainwashed into RANSACK's nocturnal espionage society, and Steed has to snap her out of it  -  before she kills him.  The concluding fight is terrific, Emma's final punch-line one of the more humorous in the series by means of its unique delivery.

25	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Henry Winkler proves his acting ability in this American version of the Dickens classic. One will actually forget that he was 'The FONZ' and will be amazed at his transformation from nice guy to mean guy back to nice guy. The general feel of this movie, though, is grey. That's the best way to describe it. But then, it was a bleak grey time in American history, with the Great Depression and all. When Dickens originally wrote the book, it was a grey time in England's history as well, so the subdued feeling one gets while watching this 'modern' version fits in well with the spirit of the original story.
For a couple of cycles, "Last Action Hero" was a featured item. The ad included some fine concert footage of AC/DC's "Big Gun." A portion of this track opens the picture's final credit scroll.

All the elements are here: The Red Queen, the AI which controls the movie's environment, is like the "dungeon master." It's a lethal adversary, yet it provides backstory, context, and objectives, i.e. the "mission" of each "level." Its primary goal is the extermination of the human characters, yet it bargains with them and even at times saves them for various purposes, rather like the way the rampant AI Durandal behaves in the famous "Marathon" game series.

After getting help from Louis Gosset Jr. The star steals a pair of F-16's with help from his High School buddies and goes over there to rescue his father after the US government decides to sit on it hands.

Highly recommended!


The special effects  were about the only redeeming quality in the entire movie.  The bubbles  they walked in, those big mechanical bees, and the high-flying act at the  end were all pretty dang cool.  I just wanted more out of the characters.  I wanted more out of the plot.  I wanted more out of Sean Connery's  villain.  I wanted more out of the relationship between Uma and Ralph.  Perhaps I wanted too much, but when coming right down to the nitty gritty,  that's usually what the criteria is for making what most people consider a  "good" movie.

Secondly, this film also marks the maturity of Dominique Swain as an actress. Although Swain was never a child actress in the classic sense of the word, her initial starring role was the remake of the film Lolita. While Lolita was also a mature role, her approach to playing the character was actually somewhat juvenile, as the role demanded in many senses. Here, Swain has shown that she possesses the skills and potential to remain a serious actress for years to come.

Perhaps the scene I like best of all the large-scale battles is where Joan takes an arrow, and we look right into her face as she falls 20-30 feet off a ladder, into the arms of the men below. Maybe it's not great acting, but she definitely placed a lot of trust in her cast mates. A lot of horse riding through battles, sword brandishing, serious medieval battle gore... yep, this is a great film.

I've given alot of analysis, but I don't think I've spoiled anything.  Chesterton echoes Einstein:

The film is excellently scripted and directed by Andrew Niccol, who later penned the script for the acclaimed THE TRUMAN SHOW (1998).  The all-star cast does a fantastic job of acting, too, even those in minor roles (watch for Ernest Borgnine, Gore Vidal, Xander Berkeley, and others).  Slawomir Idziak's cinematography is gorgeous but never overwhelms the story, and the special FX, though minimal, are subtle and quite effective.  GATTACA is a great example of what thoughtful, intelligent SF cinema should be.

When Schwarzenegger and the boy get pulled form the movie into real life, the opposite occurs and Schwarzenegger gets to see the real life is not like the movies.

In one scene all he does is make a semi honk its horn with the usual yanking motion out a car window, but the gleam in his eyes and smile on his face when he says "Did you hear that?" evokes a pure, childlike excitement that lights up the screen. Dignan definitely sees through the eyes of a child-the world is in black and white to him...maybe only one color, actually.

If you are a fan of British comedy or are the kind of person who would find catapulting a wooden rabbit funny, this is your kind of film.  I have yet to run into someone who has seen it who walked away disappointed; I have found far more people who will quote from it at the drop of a hat.

The movie's premise heavily borrows from various sci-fi horror flicks;Dawn of the dead,Return of the living dead,Escape from New York and Blade. but that's not necessarly a bad thing, is it?
The plot and scenery remind me of a well-made computer animation game--today's audience accepts this sort of 'near realism' but I could do without it, I would have enjoyed more thought provoking plot lines.

Rita Hayworth (in what turned out to be the final movie under her Columbia contract) exudes lots of steamy, repressed sensuality with her performance as the widowed society dame taken in by Joey's charms; and in a rare musical role, Kim Novak dazzles.

2093	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Having concluded his talks with the Soviet Russian Premier, the President of the United States (Harrison Ford) and Member's of his Cabinet, board the President's plane - AIR FORCE ONE. What should have been a relaxing trip home, turned out to be a nightmare on a national then global scale. Russian, neo-nationalist terrorists, who wanted their General released from prison, impersonated member's of the media whom they had killed, to be able to board AIR FORCE ONE. These deranged member's of this radical group, relied heavily upon the treachery of one of the U.S. Secret Service Agents who ironically, was assigned to protect the President from just the sort, whom he was now, aiding. And his betrayal to his country, his President and his job assignment was key, to their success. With a hostile take over on the plane and with systematic hostages being executed, what was the U.S. President/The Commander In Chief, going to do? Especially since, the terrorists were demanding that the plane be re-fueled in the air and re-routed, back to Mother Russia. Thinking that the President had evacuated the plane with the emergency escape pod, the psychotic terrorists, called him a "...coward!" Not realizing that he was still aboard and was the only hope for the hostages and flight crew, he was secretly trying to communicate with the White House. By now, the sadistic Russian terrorists knew, that there was a mystery passenger on board who was frustrating and resisting them, successfully. The sociopathic saboteurs were being sabotaged. Meanwhile, the Vice President as played by Academy Award winning Actress Glen Close, is told by the Security Council to write the President off, because he has been missing in action and as of yet, they hadn't heard from him. In this fast paced action drama, you will be at the edge of your seat if not on your feet, with plenty of adrenaline pumping through you, cheering for the President. So, riveting is this film. You are either with the terrorists or with the President. For the Americans or for the Russians. For freedom or for tyranny. There is no middle ground with this movie. And the Secret Service Agent who betrayed the United States, the innocent American hostages, the President, his Secret Service colleagues and his job assignment? Does he ever get his...!! How? Well, you'll just have to watch the movie for yourself and see. It makes for compelling viewing that will make an American Patriot out of you..., if you aren't one already.

The romantic ode to Cyrano de Bergerac is handled well although the poetic lines to Roxanne can be a bit nauseating lol and I love poetry.... but in the end, while I love this movie it is embarrassing to realize that when they find love it's odd to see Hannah with Martin who's old enough to be her father lol.

8372	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I have done reviews for the new "special edition" DVD of "Annie" and also the Disney remake from 1999.  Both of these were only worthy of 1 star but the actual film from 1982 really deserves 5 stars in my opinion.  "Annie" was my favorite movie when I was a kid.  It was always a special treat when my Dad would allow me to stay up late to watch it.  At one point I had actually memorized the entire film line for line.  For a little girl it's a fun movie with great songs.  Now that I am older I can watch the film with new appreciation and really wonder why it didn't get better reviews when it came out.  I may have figured out why that is though.  I believe it had to do with the comparison between the movie and stage musical.  The people who loved the live show seem to be partial to that where as most people who have only seen the movie, like me, think it's great.  I believe the movie stands on it's own when not being compared to anything and had that comparison not been an issue it probably would have received proper reviews.  I understand how people can be partial though.  I definitely am when it comes to this film because it's what I know.  Still, I can't see how certain aspects could go unnoticed.  As I was older I was really able to appreciate Carol Burnett's performance as Miss Hannigan.  I can't imagine anyone making this character come more alive.  She's detestable while being entertaining at the same time.  Disney really missed the mark on this character when they remade to movie.  Another element I can really appreciate as an adult is the relationship between Annie and Daddy Warbucks and how it developed naturally throughout the movie.  He starts out incredibly hard hearted, but through the charm of a dirty, almost homely, little orphan he sees there is more to life than just money and power.  She truly wins him over.  Because of all these things I still love watching this movie through the eyes of my inner child.  It can cause me to get a little misty eyed, but maybe it's because I am a sentimental sap.  There is just so much to enjoy from beginning to end.  I am especially glad I was able to get a copy of this DVD edition before it went out of print because believe me, widescreen is really necessary with this movie.  All my life I only saw it full screen and watching it on this DVD I was able to see all kind of little things I missed.  It's worth trading in the extras for.

Sure, I'd heard many of the classic jokes and lines from it, from the Black Knight's hysterical dismemberment to the Knights Who Say Ni (and demand a shrubbery to boot), but I had never experienced it for myself.  And given that it's one of those movies that people either seem to really love or really hate, I was wary about watching it for myself.

We go into the film not knowing much about Chaney. He exits with us still in the dark about his past. We know that he likes cats, that money motivates him, although he does show kindness towards and even halfway courts a lovely but cynical woman (played by his real wife Jill Ireland). We learn that he does demonstrate a reluctant loyalty towards his manager pal, and that he's not as much of an underdog as initially perceived. At the end of the film we realize just how much of a hard mo-fo he is. In a way, Chaney is a precursor to other cinematic over-the-hill fighters like "Honey" Roy Palmer (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Diggstown/dp/B000035P5A/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Diggstown</a>) and Jerry Ferro (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-Hammer/dp/B00151QYFS/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The Hammer</a>).

Setting of the movie was moved from Chicago to San Francisco, so much more picturesque, and Novak somehow looked so good there.  The movie picked up several great songs from the play: "If They Asked Me, I Could Write a Book," and "Bewitched, Bothered and "Bewildered," the play's biggest hits.  Also, for sure, "My Funny Valentine," and "Zip," a homage to Gypsy Rose Lee. Several of the play's songs were considered still too risqu&eacute;, and were replaced by other works of Rodgers and Hart, "There's a Small Hotel," "I Didn't Know What Time It was," and "The Lady Is a Tramp." Some knowledgeable reviewers complain about the songs missing from the play; but these replacements each became at least as popular as the tunes written for that play.  Musical arrangements were by Sinatra's frequent collaborator, Nelson Riddle.  The part had to be somewhat rewritten for Sinatra, of course, emphasis changed from dancing to singing.  But he sang his own songs; he was at his peak, and the songs, as the part, might really have been tailored to him. Neither Hayworth nor Novak could sing: they were dubbed.

Kino provides some interesting and very good special features. Unfortunately, we don't get a commentary track from Boorman but there is a 30 minute interview with him discussing the film. The commentary by Film Historians Travis Crawford and Bill Ackerman is quite good covering the history of the production and various tidbits. The alternate ending is seamlessly branched so you can choose that ending (which I feel is superior but you may have a different opinion if you saw this when it was originally theatrically released). Art director Anthony Pratt  weighs in the production design for the minimalist film in a 11 minute featurette. Kinko also provides five trailers (but curiously not one for "Hell In the Pacific").

The film was shot on a shoestring budget (funded largely by rock music celebrities) in horrible, wet weather by a small cast and crew, with direction from first time directors Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam. The net result is a quasi-historical, utterly warped film about King Arthur (Graham Chapman) and his knights in their search for the Holy Grail. Many entertaining diversions follow, including encounters with the 'Knights Who Say Ni' (my very favorite part of the entire film), a killer rabbit, plus a visit to the surprisingly appealing Castle Anthrax.
Various reviewers have praised the gritty cinematography, the Oscar-caliber acting, the riveting storyline, the Moroder score, and other aspects of this film. I cannot agree more. To my mind, a masterpiece is born when every element of the filmmaker's art converges perfectly to create a rare cinematic experience. This is the case for MIDNIGHT EXPRESS. When I walked out of the theater on my first viewing, I was shaken to the bone. The impact has since been diluted somewhat due to repeated viewings on VHS and on DVD, but my opinion of the film has not changed one iota. For me, MIDNIGHT EXPRESS is still the number one cinematic masterpiece of the 1970s. This is a very personal appreciation, but I'm sure that any serious film student who is able to objectively analyze the film within the exclusive context of cinematic art would have to conclude that MIDNIGHT EXPRESS is a true masterpiece.
and i say this movie is immature because clearly the people who made this movie and acted in it had no idea of the real emotional effect such a relationship would have on a character such as nick nolte's.

Steed and Emma seem to be culturally lower class people who have come into inheritances which they use to buy expensive clothes.  The actress that plays Emma would be more realistically cast as a prostitute.
Style wise, this is probably Wes Anderson's least "Wes Anderson" film. After Bottle Rocket, he really defined his style and stuck with it for the rest of his career. The cinematography by Robert Yeoman is simply superb and he manages to craft some stunningly beautiful shots. The music by Mark Mothersbaugh is indeed effective while the choice of already recorded music by Anderson is great. I found that "Seven and Seven is" by Love and "2000 Man" by The Rolling Stones define the scenes that they are played in and Anderson continued to burn scenes into our memories through his use of music in the rest of his films.
If you are expecting the original series, you're probably going to be disappointed. But if you are willing to see this in its own light, it's really a nice film. Also a great way to have a 60s night!

6820	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	First of all, let me say that I had a preconceived opinion about this movie before I saw it.  Being a hardcore fan, I thought it would go the way of Super Mario Bros.  Much to my surprise, however, the movie turned out to be less a cold attempt to make quick cash then a proper tribute by real fans, as well as a fun ride.  Milla Jovovich plays Alice, a woman who is suddenly sucked into a mission to infiltrate an underground lab called the Hive, which has mysteriously killed its inhabitants.  Unknown to Alice, Rain (Michelle Rodriguez), and the rest of the crew, everyone down there is now a flesh-craving zombie.  It's not deep entertainment, but it's fun as anything.  Just rating the movie, I'd have to give it five stars, for a movie which gives a fan like me everything he wants (including Milla in minimal garb, but I digress).

For instance, take the famed Black Night scene, where Arthur cuts the black night's arms and legs off. The black night insists that these losses of limbs are "only flesh wounds" and fights on. He's either really brave, or really stupid. Let's not forget Killer Rabit, Tim the Enchanter, the Knights of Nee, and the Bridge of Death. The movie is a real side splitter. I'd recommend it to all.

If you like science fiction, chances are you've already seen this. If you are a fence sitter, wondering if the BD is worth it, the special features alone scream 'yes!' For once, you can't complain about sound or video thanks to all the alternate settings. So you don't have to suffer a bad transfer. Instead you are left following the wonder of normal folk who experience first contact. Watch them question their lives and become infected with the promise of something more than their banal lives. This is a much more cerebral film than most other 'first contacts'. Here, we are promised something different, a learning experience, a chance of friendship.

8030	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This film is Director Terry Gilliam's best for one simple reason: it is his most successful marriage of modern story to mythic content.  Just as the first three Star Wars movies (Episodes IV-VI) succeeded in captivating the hearts and minds of its viewers on a deep, spiritual level amidst the revolutionary special effects, Gilliam has taken a segment of New York city's extremes and has recasted the Holy Grail adventure in modern, well-tailored clothes.  This movie serves as, perhaps, the best motion picture example of the Jungian theory of individuation I have seen.  The main characters map nicely to the ego-shadow-anima trio with Jack (Jeff Bridges) playing an ego maniac who suffers a Icarian fall and is brought to face his shadow, Perry (Robin Williams), who is anything but egotistical and selfish.  Providing both support and unintentionally inhibiting his progress is his anima/mother figure of a girlfriend Anne (Mercedes Ruehl) whom he must grow both toward and away from as any immature young man must do as he learns to see his significant other as not a replacement mother but soulmate.  But Perry and Anne are also not just projections, but characters with their own depth and complexity each developing a relationship with the other in significant, plot building ways.  Moreso than in any of Gilliam's other films is the stories' plot capable of producing a successful vehicle for Gilliam's well-known propensity for complexity that normally tends to muddy the focus of his efforts to the detriment of the film.

He is sentecenced to serve four years in a turkish prison. Billy leaves a worried girlfriend, father, mother, brother, and sister behind. In the prison he meets durgies and a whole new kind of people he never thought would exsist. The guards beat and tourcher not only him but everybody in that prison and other prisons in that part of the world were just the same. In Turkey who don't have the right to free speech like in America so when he went to court he had a hard time trying to defend himself. Billy is then sentenced to 30 years in the prison which I might add does not really qualify as a prison at all in my opinon. Billy and Rand quaid and one other person try to escape for every day for a whole week but then they are caught by a inmatte who gives randy qaid away. Randy is beaten so bad that he is in a hospital for months with a hernia.

Dreyfuss, who also starred in Spielberg's own Jaws (1975), is brilliant in this film, with his gradual obsessions and transfixion creating a fascinating film, which has become an undisputed classic.

They are mortal enemies, but somehow when you are both staring death in the face, it is easier to make common cause against it.  The story of the movie is how they overcome their hatred for each other (in the generic - wartime sense) to find a way to be found, signal for help, or get off the island somehow, someway.  Both actors are superb.
Racoon City is quarantined, trapping all within along with the virus-raging zombies.  Among those trapped is Dr. Ashfords young daughter.  Safely watching from outside the city, Ashford agrees to help Alice and Valentine escape if they can rescue her.  It's all very Escape from New York-ish (1981). Trapped in a city of undesirables, our bad-ass hero is infected with a virus and will find a grim outcome nearing the end of the film unless she can save the daughter of a scientist who waits safely outside the city.

8811	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I won't go into details about the plot of this movie as others here have already done so, but just to add that 'Hard Times' is definitely my favorite Bronson flick as it was my late dad's. Dad must have watched this movie at least 4 or 5 times a year: He was a HUGE Bronson fan. A martial arts magazine once noted that the bare-knuckle fight scenes were the best ever filmed, and I couldn't agree more. Incredibly, Bronson was a remarkably fit 54 when he made this film. This movie proves that you don't have to have a lot of special effects or complicated story lines to make a great film. A classic movie IMHO!

It's a little erratic, but "Bottle Rocket" comes across as fresh, weird, and extremely well-done. Funny, zany and charming crime comedy with a twist of Wes Anderson.
 In this film adaptation of Harling's 1987 play based on the loss of his sister, the main area of the congregations of the principles is the home-based beauty salon run by Truvy Jones(played by the always sunny, lively, and amiable Dolly Parton)in a parish of Natchitoches, Louisiana.
All in all, A River Runs Through It is a well-crafted masterpiece with a lot of hidden meanings.
This review is really intended for the mature movie-goer. I say this because many of the young adults loved this movie and were having a blast.  I only wish I could have seen what they found so interesting. But hey, I gave it a go.  Even though the critics hate this movie(if you want a real laugh, check out Roger Ebert's review),  the trailer was intoxicating.
1541	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	I didn't care for this version at all. I thought there was no chemistry between the two leads, and there should be at least some smoldering of repressed emotions. The story was so abbreviated so as to seem just a conventional, brief story of thwarted love--the character development, especially of Jane, was missing in action. No heartbreak, no horror, no sense of Jane's virtue, tough interior and self-reliance, which helped her overcome so many of life's obstacles. Not even much atmospheric scenery. This Mr. Rochester, played by the usually-excellent Ciaran Hines, is utterly forgettable, weak, and miscast. He doesnt have to be handsome, but he does have to be powerful, passionate, sexy, and seething. After all, he keeps a mad wife locked in the attic and he tries to keep that secret while almost commiting bigamy.
Oh but it get's even better when Jill, her partner, and a reporter are trapped inside a church with two lickers. Alice bursts in on a motorcycle to save the day and the first question I have is, "How did she know they were there?"
Taxi Driver only has one highly-developed character, and that's Travis.  I don't really see this as a problem since like the Michael Caine masterpiece Get Carter (1971), Taxi Driver is really all about Travis.  Travis isn't a really a guy to look up to (he's a sociopath), but at the same time, his darker qualities aren't at all forced.  Probably because of the Vietnam War, Travis is socially-detached from everyone else, and it really shows when he tries to establish a romantic relationship with Betsy.  His relationship ends pretty swiftly when he takes her to a porn theater, thinking that when she said "go to the movies," that she'd want to see those types of films (Travis frequently goes to these theaters, and isn't too familiar with "regular" movies).  Because NYC is infamous for crime (especially during the time it was set and filmed, which was 1976), Travis's disgust with the slimy people walking the streets is totally understandable.  Travis's character is also very creative, because when he plans out his "finest hour" near the end of the movie, you see him take apart the railings from a shelf and lamp, to create a sliding mechanism on his right arm that pops out a gun from under his sleeve.
That he's seen as a hero at the end of the film is a joke, a mistake made by people who think he did what he did to save Iris. Travis wasn't interested, I think, in saving Iris. He was just insane and didn't see Iris as one of the filth of humanity. He saw her as salvageable. He didn't go on the killing spree for her benefit, but her freedom was a lucky byproduct to Travis' madness.

8392	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I don't know why so many people are criticizing this movie, but it proves to be nothing but amazing. The only person who could ever play Annie to perfection would be Aileen Quinn, she was made for the role and the way she performs in this movie just makes Annie come alive. Carol Burnett was so hilarious as the role of Miss Hannigan even my mother agrees that no one else could play the part more beautifully than her. As for Tim Curry as the role of Miss Hannigan's twisted brother Rooster couldn't have done it any better, he really knows how to be an evil character. As for Albert Finney as the role of Oliver Warbucks the selfish millionare well his acting is very believable and he does an amazing job. Finally Ann Reinking as Grace Farell did a beautiful job, her character was so sweet and endearing and just the way she played it was perfect. All in all the songs were just brought to life, the acting was believable, the sets were amazing, the costumes were perfect, this movie has it all.
I won't spoil the story line{u have to see it for your self}billy i order to survive had too dig deep into the pit of human strength to grab every oz of fight it took to survive the hot mess he got into.

Tommy Lee Jones- uni-brow notwithstanding- was however at his utter peak here as a younger actor. I can say without a doubt that I'd be giving this film about two stars were it not for his work here. He managed to balance out the more esoteric elements of the movie with a refreshingly middle-class cop's outlook on things. His sweet sense of charm, earnestness, relaxed & gentle demeanor here was a good foil to the uptight Dunaway, and only he seemed to be able to bring out any real depth in Dunaway's character. The love story within this film is what sticks with me to be quite honest, and I give the appealing Jones the credit for that. He pulled off a performance in the midst of a difficult plot with admirable talent here. He had little time to develop a real bond to Dunaway's remote character in the film, and yet he pulled chemistry out of Dunaway which I don't know that another actor could have, given the ninety-miles-an-hour storyline. His scenes with the other actors of the film are also memorable- Jones' presence is probably what has left such a pleasant feeling in my mind, to be honest. He was endlessly watchable here. Frankly, I didn't have much of an opinion about him as an actor (other than knowing that he was quite talented) before viewing this, and certainly did not see him as a sex symbol. My opinion has now changed!

The fun is just getting started. Cut to former shiny-happy Umbrella Corporation employee Alice (played tastily by actress-model-singer Milla Jovovich) waking up in the shower of a mansion with no memory as to how she got there. Not to worry, as she soon has plenty of company: a crack-squad of commandos sent in to do a by-the-numbers infiltration: get in, shut down the psychotic Red Queen, get out. Simplicity itself, right?
A prescient film, that works to thrill and inspire.
While this movie does have a certain cheesiness factor to it, that's what makes it so appealing.  If you read the pamphlet that comes along with the DVD, it mentions that the director's purpose for this movie was to mix the Boy That Cried Wolf formula with the classic vampire mythology.

This is always great for an evening with a group of  friends with a similar sense of humour.  Great fun.
"Taxi Driver" additionally hints at Scorsese's excellent musical taste by using Jackson Browne's "Late For The Sky" in the soundtrack.  The song's appearance in the film is a little jarring, but quite fitting, and it IS one of the best songs ever written.

It really is a beautiful film, and I especially love the urban fantasy element.  Theres a reason that fantasy remains such a popular genre in the age of cell phones, the internet, and laptop computers.  The image of an armored man riding a horse in defense of good or as an emissary of evil is powerful, and Gilliam manages to explore the impact those images have on our collective psyche.  The visual side of the film is stunning, but The Fisher King achieves its power thanks to Robin Williams through whom the audience perceives terrible torment inflicted upon tremendous humanity  just like in real life.  Go watch The Fisher King or watch it again if youve already seen it.  Its a fitting tribute to a great talent, and it will make you happy...a little sad too...but mostly happy, which is good.

4480	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	When I saw "I know what you did last summer" at the theater I was hooked. When I heard there's gonna be a sequel, I was like "Wow! Can't wait to see it" It was a big dissapointment when I finaly saw  it. First of all it completely destroyed the brilliant ending of the first  part. I think it should have been better connected instead of just being  explained as a nightmare. The character of Julie James is still pretty  interesting but all of the new characters are pale  in comparison. There  are a lot of really gory sequences, which are fun to look at but there  isn't as much suspense as in the first. The producers just thought  "bloodier equals better" I guess but that just isn't the case.  The ending is a ridiculous repetition of the ending of the first one and I  hope this doesn't mean there's going to be another sequel. If you like  seeing Jennifer Love-Hewitt and a lot of blood then this movie isn't too  bad after all but if you're looking for believeable characters and a clever  story line you're gonna be dissapointed.

Similar themed Blade Runner had a pretty crappy DVD release before Warner announced a ginormous edition for 2007. Gattaca is another that should be re-released as this is quite awful for a much-praised film. It's definately a rental but if you're a huge fan and you want to own it now go ahead but when the inevitable "Special Edition" or "Collector's Edition" is released, you'll have an extra so it depends on how often you're going to watch a film and let's face it, with Gattaca, it's not that bad to rewatch it over and over.

It's a lesson we can all take to heart.
This fact aside, "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" is the very best of the wonderful Rankin/Bass specials. The designer for the series of holiday specials, Paul Coker, has done an exceptional job with these delightful wooden and plastic creations.

Ford projects the image of such a strong, honorable, and likeable leader that the audience is immediately rooting for him.

There you go, Steel Magnolias.  This film about six women whose lives are bound together both by kindred spirits, and by the joys and sorrows of their lives, could have ended up sappy and maudlin. Instead, saved by wit, a fine edge of meanness, and a goofy charm, this film really works.  It makes the friendships feel real, the characters seem knowable and familiar.  These aren't perfect women with perfect lives who smile through tragedy.  These are women you know, or would like to know.  There's not a bad performance in the whole film, and the supporting cast is as good as the leads are.  They'll have you weeping helplessly one minute and screaming with laughter the next.
Patrick Macnee shrewdly plays John Steed, England's gentleman undercover agent. Linda Thorson is one of several of a line of Steed's voluptuous sidekicks. In the U.S., most of us didn't even know about Honor Blackman and Macnee's other (earlier) partners until years later when these episodes finally emerged on VHS tape. Diana Rigg can probably claim about 60% of the credit for the vast number of U.S. audience members who were glued to their TVs when "The Avengers" finally hit here. The other 40% (not forgetting Macnee's fine performances) had to do with the presentation of this excellent series.

But instead we are left with a typical action-horror limited by mainstream commercialism and the MPAA. I am just relieved that Resident Evil was treated seriously and has Mila Jovovich playing the main character. Mila Jovovich, who was brilliant in Luc Besson's The Messenger, carries the film from beginning to end without flaws in her performance. Her close-ups are beautiful and with her model features and eyes, she shows us a powerful woman on screen. She is definitely a talent to watch in the future.

Oh, I said that already. Ok, you get it.
Some people might get upset about the use of English.  It's not the best and if you watch a Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Chow Yun Fat American movie, you are either used to it or your a person that moans about the English.  Just sit down and watch the movie without zoning in on the language, let the story and the action be the main thing you are watching this movie for.  I'm sure this movie was expensive to make as well and Gen-X Cops in my opinion has a much more of an interesting storyline.
I have had my eyes on this one for years. In fact so many 70's films exceeded my expectations that I wanted to buy it before I started 1976 to ensure it didn't go under the radar. I'm not disappointed with "Taxi Driver" it is precisely what I expected. I think what happened is over the years no one could give me a good reason to watch it. They just said it was great. All the effusive accolades amounted to vapid emotion to me. I want well thought out reasons why a movie is supposed to be good. I don't care who's in it, who directed it, or likes it, no movie gets a pass. If you aren't good then I'm going to say so and "Taxi Driver" is not good. It's boring and unfocused.

6628	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Having seen the Ingrid Bergman version "Joan of Arc", and now "The Messenger", anyone who is somewhat familiar with that period's personalities would agree that somewhere in-between lies the true Joan.  The Ingrid Bergman version depicts Joan as a much too innocent and pious young woman who could never have led the many thousands into battle.  The Milla Jovovich version is a bit too irreverant but warrior enough to join the bloody gnashing of teeth and breaking of heads as was customary in battle those days.  So...for those too unkind with this film, you must agree that somewhere in between is Joan of Arc and we needed both versions to realistically form a picture of what she was truly like.  Both films were well directed and well acted.

The story line revolves around 3 friends who end up smiling all the way until the end. Anton Tobias finds that his very own parents have been brutally murdered but the only thing he doesn't understand is who did it.  His 2 friends come over and help to get Anton high so that he can calm down and forget his problems and then it hits him.  He was the one who murdered his parents and it was because of his Hand.  It is actually possessed.  Now his friends/ the police/ and anyone that he can get his HAND on will be the next target.  Idle Hands are the Devils Playground so will Anton be able to keep his hands occupied long enough to not hurt anyone else or will there be more bloodshed?  The only way to know is to make the purchase and see for yourself :) But I promise if you do you will not be disappointed.  As I said earlier, This movie will have you laughing the entire way through.  I would classify this movie as a Horror/Comedy but to be honest it is more of a Comedy than it is a Horror Film :) So please pick this one up while it is still available and enjoy :)

What makes "Easy Rider" great is that it's more than just a road adventure with a modern Western garnish (i.e. cowboys on motorized "horses"). The film has depth that separates it from the typical biker flicks of that era. It's really about freedom or the lack thereof. Wyatt and Billy certainly have some grasp of freedom - and they desperately pursue it - but they're ironically so shackled by their OWN carnal desires and growing addictions that the most they attain is a piece of it. Wyatt laments near the end of the film: "We blew it; we really blew it" as he realizes freedom has slipped through their fingers like water. Nicholson's character, George, has more of handle on what's going on, but he obviously has his own issues.
745	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This is one of my favorite holiday shows. I had only seen it before during a PBS telethon, so it was interrupted a lot. The DVD was lovely with no interruptions. The picture quality and audio is great. The story shows the people of Elwood City all celebrating the holidays in different ways, and how all of them are important. For Arthur fans, there's D.W. hi-jinks, funny friend interactions, and cute musical numbers. But I think even people who aren't familiar with the characters would enjoy it. It's for everyone to enjoy, be they aardvark, rabbit, or human.
Disc 2  nice animated menu, but nothing too sophisticated.
Extra stuff aside, does the film itself deserve a place in the collection of all-time great Science Fiction? The answer is a resounding yes, as the film conveys a sense of excitement, wonder and obsession. Different from other nihlistic sci fi films (The Alien movies), Close Encounters is a story of a man (Richard Dreyfuss), who, after having an encounter with a U.F.O, starts to become fixated with images and sounds that draw him to the film's conclusion.

If you can  keep an open mind, and accept Joan as a person of her times. You have a  good chance of liking the movie. The extras on the DVD try to explain why  they did what they did. Remember Joan of Arc's time was called, (The age of  Faith).

5065	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Probably the most grittiest film from the 1970's, "Taxi Driver" stars Robert DeNiro as a New York cab driver who falls for a girl (played by Cybil Shepherd) working as a supporter for a would-be Senator. After she dumps him the taxi driver decides to garner her attention by attempting to shoot the politician in cold blood. The other plot of the movie focuses on the DeNiro character discovering a young prostitute (played by Jodie Foster) and his attempts to get her pimp away from her. The movie is well-known for its use of firearms and the line "You talkin' to me?" The film is violent, especially the last moments of the film, but this kind of motion picture had to be made to show the seediest side of New York City and how people survive in a metropolis. The movie garnered 4 Oscar nods including ones for Best Picture, Best Actor for DeNiro, and Best Supporting Actress for Foster. This set includes a "Making-of Documentary" which is informative and entertaining with interviews with the cast and crew. The American Film Institute listed "Taxi Driver" as "One Of The Best Films Of All Time!".

When this DVD set arrived, I hoped that at least it could recreate the Edwardian world for me, as it did 30+ years ago.  I was wrong.  It is so much better than I remember.  With the perspective and experience of thirty years coloring the viewing, the foibles and triumphs of the two families upstairs and down are so much more compelling now.  With the underlying theme that the house must run smoothly no matter what is going on in the inside or outside world, the dependence of the two families on each other is beautifully portrayed.  The period details, down to the china patterns and the paint colors are exquisite, and the characterizations the actors bring to their parts, made possible by the very fine writing, superb.

In a society that heaps praises and opportunities on the genetically pure, there is a black market where people like Vincent can, for a price, take over the identity of people like Jerome (played by Jude Law), a genetically enhanced man who is now confined to a wheelchair. With his new identity, along with Jerome's blood, skin cells, hair, etc., Vincent is able to pursue his dream of going into outer space. But a murder at the company Vincent works for, in which he accidentally leaves a DNA trace of his real self at the scene, threatens to derail his plans.

 Demi Moore is surprisingly exceptional in the role of a woman who wants a baby more than anything in the wolrd. Michael Beign is her husband, a man attempting to save someone off of death row. We love when either of these are on screen and they both shine. Michael Beign is the gorgeous type of guy already familiar with horror - from The Terminator and Aliens to other sci/fi, disturbing roles. As far as I know this is a first for Moore but she conveys fear well and causes sympathy. What also helps is that her character is actually interesting. We see her side of things and get into her mind a bit, making the movie play out even better.

Being dumped by a woman with whom is incredibly fond of, in addition to  meeting a 13 year old street hooker all further establish as a sort of  morality tale which questions both our society, and the people affected by  it.

In many ways it's almost a kind of Depression-era Midnight Cowboy with bare-knuckle brawling replacing the sex-for-sale, as James Coburn's ducking and diving street fight promoter teams up with Bronson's drifter and sees his chance at the big time. Naturally it doesn't work out that way, but en route to the inevitable fall debuting director Walter Hill draws a vivid portrait of people trying to survive in brutal times any way they can - with added brutal fights.

The real casting coup in "Air Force One" is Glenn Close as Vice President Kathryn Bennett. Close manages to hold her own in a room packed with veteran male character actors like "Quantum Leap's" Dean Stockwell who constantly bullies Close to usurp presidential authority. Although certainly not the most original skyjacking melodrama, "Air Force One" manages to add elements to the formula and boasts enough visceral R-rated violence to keep you distracted throughout its 124-minute running time.

It's probably considered at least a venial sin in America to criticize Columbus, who's bookended his directorial career with two of the biggest blockbusters ever to hit a big screen, Home Alone and the Harry Potter franchise. But let's face it. Home Alone was pure unadulterated emotionally manipulative schlock. The guy's made his mark directing the kinds of teen comedies John Hughes wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole (and Hughes even wrote Home Alone. One wonders why he didn't direct...). With Stepmom, Columbus has all the schlock with none of the cuteness of the child actors. Not that said cuteness ever made his films watchable previously.

Aside from all the obvious DVD advantages, I really enjoyed the extra features on this two-disc DVD. The interviews with Spielberg and others involved in the film are pretty facinating and insightful. Of course it is the film itself that is or isn't worth owning and for the excellent performances and the interesting concepts and questions presented here, this is a film worthy of repeat viewings and a fine addition to any DVD library.
Trivia Note - Originally Mark Hamill wanted to audition for the role of Billy Hayes, but due to Hamill's popularity as Luke Skywalker in The Star Wars Trilogy, Alan Parker felt Hamill was not suited for the role and refused to meet him. Think of what it would have been like for Hamill to have appeared in the film?

Read what others have to say, I agree.  One thing I would like to add is that I particurlaly enjoyed the bonus material on this DVD, the "documentary" where they interviewed the actors, screenwriter, special effects person and the director.  I found it very insightful, and being a New Yorker, appreciated the tibits of trivia as to where and how certain scenes were filmed.
Another instance has already been mentioned on the site and is probably the direct inspiration for the Pythons. Start the Revolution Without Me (1970) also features a narrator getting killed by the events he is attempting to report.


Then there's the casting. Forget the fact that this is basically Mr. Freeze with weather puns instead of ice puns, and it's being said by the great Sean Connery, the real offender of this film is Uma Thurman. Yes, Uma was in Batman & Robin also, so bad picking skills on her part, but my gosh is she miscast. The actress is from Boston, but the character is from England, and speaks in an English accent, and boy does it show. Oh wait, she also gets to fight her clone named "Evil Peel," and gets to say the line, "You just saved me from myself." Yes, that's actual dialogue from this movie. And that's one of the "funnier" lines. As for Ralph Fiennes, I don't believe he's actually in the film. It's actually Joseph in Ralph's face, because that's the quality he puts into this. Granted, his character basically gets to fight with umbrellas, drink tea, and speak in a polite British accent, but my gosh, put a little emotion into it!

9831	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Make no mistake, "Gattaca" is a science fiction film with a vitally important message.  It would have made an outstanding episode of "The Twilight Zone".  But for a two-hour feature film, the story feels so padded that I had great difficulty staying awake through the recycled scenes and massive amounts of Michael Bay-style sap that spent too much time affirming the audience that they are perfect just the way they are.  In spite of it's intellectually sound premise, the film ends up insulting the audience's intelligence with populist tripe when it should have taken on a much darker, grittier tone.  The film has it's (legions of) fans though, so if you have ever questions about whether or not human genetic manipulation is something we should explore, then I'd recommend checking this out.

I had not seen this series when it originally aired thirty years ago and only by accident saw a video of a first season episode.

2023	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I ordered this for my husband because he had watched it previously and enjoyed it.  I asked him how it would rate it and what I indicated is what he decided.
The gratuitous violence is a serious blight on the film; the murder/rape scene was arguably relevant to the plot but still was depicted with more detail and relish than necessary, and the remainder of the film overflows with dogs, wolves and crows gobbling human carrion and more battlefield amputations and decapitations than probability would dictate. I'm sure these earned the film its 18 restriction when, fundamentally, it could have quite easily avoided them.
The Director's Cut seems to be the one to watch since it is Speilberg's idea of the how the movie should look.  Worth noting is the deirector's cut of the movie removes the scene inside the mother ship.  Wich Speilberg admits in the special features was a compromise with the studio to fund a few extra scenes for the Special Edition.  (The "Director's Cut" is a combination and re-cut of the original release and the special edition.)

Inside the envelopes are question from children around the world about Santa. "Where did Santa's suit come from?", and more, so that the show can proceed to show where Santa got his start and why things are the way they are. In a sad vilage named Sombertown, ruthlessly run by the Burgermeister Meisterberger, toys are outlawed. On the other side of the mountain, elves are raising a human orphan boy, learned in the ways of toymaking. But a scary Winter Warlock has prevented them from delivering toys across the mountain. Whenthe boy grows up he is givent he name Kris Kringle, and he determines to deliver the toys. Arriving there he meets Ms. Jessica and falls in love, but Kris is arrested for the toys. After his escape he runs into the Winter Warlock, and must find a way to deal with him if he is going to deliver toys. Without giving any plot away, Kris has to find creative ways to smeak the toys to the children and avoid being captured again by the soldiers. Along the way we see how traditions like hanging stockings, using the chimney, delivering at night, making reindeer fly, and a nice/naughty list got their start.

Woody is initially reluctant, but caves when he learns that the Bear is actually Natalia (who's mistaken Woody for a top agent) and that the CIA has agreed to bring his comic book designs to life.

"AIR FORCE ONE" features a pretty solid transfer on Blu-ray.  Video is presented in 1080p High Definition (aspect ration of 2:40:1) and one thing that I will make clear is that while many films featured in the 90's tend to have a DNR, clean, waxy or soft effect in terms of picture quality, the good news is that "AIR FORCE ONE" does not.

4573	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This is perhaps the greatest American film of the past 30 years. TAXI DRIVER explores themes and characters that are archetypically American. If you've ever read about Tim McVeigh or John Hinckley, or ever wondered about the nameless nobody who seems to lurk on your city's streets, you know the Scorsese and De Niro and screenwriter Paul Schrader were there first. This is a brave, moral, explosive and graphic film that has only gained power over the years.
2327	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Okay, so it might be a stretch of the imagination that the presidential jet can sustain hundreds of rounds of machine gun fire. That aside, "Air Force One" poses the (then) unlikely premise of a terrorist group commandeering the First Plane (maybe not so unlikely now) and how Harrison Ford, as a strict anti-terrorist commander-in-chief, has to abort the plot while saving not only himself but the First Family. Ford, one of the acting business' most professional artists, is absolutely believeable as both the most powerful man in the Free World and a family man, often struggling not to let the lines of both intersect. The multi-talented Gary Oldman (Francis Ford Coppola's "Dracula," "The Contender") is in his element as the thoroughly and dastardly evil leader of the terrorist group, and the incomparable Glenn Close is riveting as the loyal Vice President who refuses to grab the reigns of power as long as her president stays alive. But Close's bigger contribution is her unparalled ability to convey her character's sense of subdued panic while maintaining calm as an uncertain nation looks on. Director Wolfgang Petersen ("Das Boot") has come up with a terrific nail-biter despite a couple of stretches of imagination. And, as for Ford's role as president, even Indiana Jones would have his hands full with the guy. Fast-moving with seldom a lapse in the action, this one is well worth the watch.

1079	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This film is treated something like the lost child in the canon of director Woody Allen's career.  As if he would have to apologize for this instead of, say, "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion".  What Allen attempted here in his directorial debut is groundbreaking.  This is the first example I can recall of a director telling his film in mock-documentary style, later employed by Albert Brooks and perfected by Christopher Guest.  Allen proves himself to be not only a great comic visualist but there are great verbal puns here as well.  The conceit of the film is a gas.  We're supposed to believe that Allen's Virgil Starkwell, an inept dweeb of a criminal, if not among the FBI's most wanted does cause Mr. Hoover some sleepless nights.  The gags here are rapidfire but I wouldn't spoil it for those who are uninitiated.  My favorite being,though, is Virgil orchestrating a prison break with a gun he's fashioned out of soap during a rainstorm.  All this failed effort leaves him with is a hand full of soap lather.  Also, noteworthy in the cast is the late Janet Margolin as Virgil's faithful wife.  Margolin basically plays straight woman to Allen but it's a shame this gifted actress who was so good in "David and Lisa" didn't have a more substantial film career.
Jovovich is a stunning piece of eye candy, and I really enjoy watching her breathe, so I was game for this film and its ridiculous sequels.  Still, I wish she were a better actress and I wish she were in better films.
2:30 minutes was added to the scene where the Dauphin chooses who will  be the impostor.  This is a good addition because it introduces the  characters that will be Joan's captains in the following battles.

6774	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I realize that everyone keeps comparing this to Braveheart...why? This is a totally different story. Jovovich did a spectacular job of portraying Joan. She was innocent and pure, yet crazed and wild. It was extremely  refreshing to see a woman warrior for a change and she pulled it off  amazingly. The movie was a bit dry in spots but honestly the ending was  worth the wait. Unlike the opinions of some others...I thought Hoffman was  brilliant...finally a portrayal of god with a touch of darkness. He makes  you fear him to some subtle extent. I was glad to see God shown in a shade  of grey as opposed to the always white and graceful appearance in most  films. I believe that this movie raises alot of questions as to how Joan of  Arc was deemed a Saint, if this enactment is accuate..and who knows...maybe  she wasn't as blessed as believed. I like movies that make you ask  questions and think. This movie did that for me.

The movie, however, is mindful that no one achieves success alone. Why would anyone help someone to misrepresent himself so he can achieve his dreams? Vincent is helped by Jerome (genetically superior being), Irene (his love interest), and a doctor (who tests urine samples). Even Vincent's nemsis (Anton) finally gets out of his way once he understands the power of Vincent's heart and determination. I believe people help Vincent because, in the end, no one really cares what advantages one is born with. We care far more about the human side of individuals. Vincent is someone we all can admire, and his positive qualities can't be bought or predetermined with genetic disposition. When we encounter such individuals, we are sometimes even willing to sacrifice our self-interest for them.

It's one of the movies that gets better every time you watch it, start to understand it more. Highly recommended, one of my all-time favorites, one of the best.

If Walt Disney had decided to make a film for adults, it would have looked something like "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." Maybe Spielberg is the Walt Disney of the "Easy Rider" generation. And perhaps that is what "Close Encounters" eventually represents - a Baby Boomers' "Peter Pan."

Aileen Quinn IS Annie; she becomes the character both inside and out. When you watch her in this movie, it's pretty hard to imagine anyone else who could have done better. She's spunky, sweet, caring, and feisty--that's who Annie is, and that's what Aileen Quinn brought to the character. The singing was outstanding too--this is a great movie for children as well as adults....I've been watching it for as long as I can remember and I still love it. It's a classic! .......it's one of the best "Annie" versions out there, if not the best.

It is also quite a different film - the sets are almost surreal, while showing the plight of homeless people in a stark and  uncompromising light.  But most of all it is a film that will make you  laugh, and make you cry, and I feel you can never want more from  entertainment than that.

A major shortcoming for me was that the zombie action scenes were all pretty weak.  The bites were lame, the horde was uninspired, and outside of a few zombie kills by Milla, I could have done without them entirely.  It felt like stock footage from The Walking Deadyou know, the kills you don't really care about as the characters kill their way from points A to B.  Although I did enjoy our first meetings with zombies as the team was learning what they were (i.e., not alive).
The way the movie ends is stupid too, it basically ENDS where it should've BEGUN, thus resulting to a tiresome sequel that may I say was a total flop!
One of the great things about this movie is that it isn't trying to add some weird twist to the idea of vampire movies.

Period.  That sounds like such a simple idea, yet I've rarely seen any other vampire film actually pull it off like this one.  We meet a small group of fairly interesting people, they're put in danger, and we spend the rest of the film on the edge of our seats hoping they get out alive.

3652	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	This movie is a bit overhyped, I am not going to argue the movie has good acting and special effects,and that perhaps we may not be alone. I really like the scene on the highway near the train tracks and The chase,*SPOILER*but really "Roy" is such a jerk and leaves to join the mothership? I would hope they torture him up there for being such a bad father and husband. probe him good. I also dislike spielberg for commenting "If we can communicate with beings from another planet peacefully then why not The Reds during the Cold War?" something to that effect. Spielberg must be one helluva naive person to state something like that and believe it. I also believe that Aliens wouldn't come here, Humans are too dumb,why bother. And if they did come they would probably destroy us.

This film is about two punkers named "Stevo and heroin Bob (Matthew Lillard and Michael Goorjian) who are college graduates who's dream is to make pure anarchy all over the country. Stevo's dad is a lawyer, who wants Stevo to go to Harvard Stevo has the grades, but he doesn't want to go with the system. After hardcore punk shows, and punch of drugs taken in, the two punks don't know what to do in Salt Lake. Heroin Bob doesn't really do heroin, infact he is scared of needles, that's why they call him that. What really caught my attention in this film is Til Schweiger  and how well he played his character mark. My favorite scene is when Mark explains how his whole family died, I know you will love that scene. Til Schweiger did that part so well it deserved an Oscar.  This film talks about the history of punk, and what a punker thinks.

553	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	The Jesus Film is truly a phenomenon and great tool for reaching many people to understand the Jesus that is described in the Gospel of Luke.  The producers of this movie did painstaking research for many years, and they sought to be accurate in the little details, not only of the clothing and village life, but the ways the people talked and recited the prayers.  The filmmakers sought and succeeded in making a very accurate depiction of the life of Christ as taught in the Holy Bible.
"The Fisher King", billed as a modern Arthurian fable, lives up to that description.  Crass commercial culture, shock radio, homelessness, and even a sly reference to the nascent AIDS epidemic form the backdrop for this remarkable story, which mixes the entire range of human emotions in a very satisfying and entertaining stew.
5057	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Taking a trip into Wes Anderson's head is like going into a parallel universe where most things are the same, but the nature of reality is just slightly warped.

Every problem that a video game movie has ever had is here. A thin plot, bad acting, lazy directing, crappy dialouge, bad effects, I think you get my point. Now, as with most video game movies, the flaws I mentioned about were to be expected and I figured that the movie would at least have some good zombie action. I couldn't have been more wrong! The action in this film is so bag it's almost laughable. Most of the action consist of generic shoot em up scenes and slow motion martial arts type fighting with Milla Jovovich. Thanks to the lazy directing of Paul W.S Anderson, the film is incredibly boring and every scene consist of the same repetitive set up. Characters walk slowly through hallway, predictable zombie jump scare, characters kill zombie, repeat. It grows tiresome fast and I wanted to shut the movie off about halfway through I was so bored. While watching, I was actually shocked by the fact that these movies actually have a pretty big fan-base of people who actually think the story here is good and the characters are interesting. The only positive things I can say about the movie is that it does have a good setup and Mila Jovovich looks hot as hell.
I give it more than 5 stars, as all the fantasy (fantastic) scenes were made without today's help from computers.  Everything they did was done without computers and it still looked real.  As much as I love Harry Potter, and I do,  I doubt it could have been made or even attempted without computers.

Originally released in 1977, Spielberg re-released it with additional footage in 1980, then altered it again for the film's 1997 re-release on VHS with the extra footage dropped and some scenes never released put back in. This DVD is the definitive version of Spielberg's classic, with the extra sections making the film's progress more involving than when it was first released.

I enjoyed seeing more of the story, surrounding the games and I really enjoyed the acting on everyone's parts and I enjoyed the action scenes.

So the "real world" kid falls in with the completely fake Slater, who is of course unaware that he's a movie character.  There are some pretty good jokes early on - Slater's boss, the blustery Lt Dekker (Frank McRae) gets so angry and abusive if his regular berating of Slater that he becomes completely incomprehensible; Slater never runs out of bullets and never hurts himself; there are cameos from several costars of Arnold's from previous films; cartoon characters work as cops; etc.  But the satire on action movie conventions is fitful and often seems to be used just to fill in the blanks between "real" action sequences, and the developing friendship between Danny and Jack, while sweet, just doesn't feel as significant as it should.  Perhaps a Spielberg would have made it too shmaltzy, but here you're left wondering just how Danny really feels about the whole experience once it's over.

Since my mother died from cancer at 45 in November 2000, which was accompanied by kidney failure, the movie took an all too real turn.  I would have ever thought I could relate to this movie in such a real way before.

This is pure action/science fiction/horror with a capital "E" = escapism, excess, evil, and eye-popping.  It is beneath it all an amped-up zombie movie with an evil 'big brother' (The Umbrella Corporation)twist thrown in for good measure.  This film is more horror than the sequels.  This first film in a series sets one up for where this is heading, a futuristic world being manipulated by an evil conglomerate.  The plot is this, someone has released the T-virus in the underground labs of the Umbrella Corporation.  The only none survivors are Alice (Milla Jovovich)and Spence parks (James Purefoy), the 'married' security officers. A special rescue/security team (led by Colin Salmon and Michelle Rodriguez) takes them and a 'police officer'Matt Addison played by Eric Mabius with them into the underground Racoon City complex.  There, they must deal with the super computer, the 'Red Queen; (voiced by Sophie Vavsseur)- the daughter of the computer's inventor and designer, the former complex staff turned zombies by the T-virus , zombie doberman dogs and mutants.  Along the way, they discover betrayal, an eco-advocacy/terrorism plot and corporate greed. In the lead role of Alice, Ms. Jovovich shines as the initially confused and drugged security officer who slowly realizes her role in this tragedy and is able to deal with the evil that exists all around her.  She comes out the hero but is soon at the mercy of the Umbrella Corporation which designates her as ''Project' Alice and the other survivor, Matt Addison as Project 'Nemesis.'
"You're dead!"
This definitely a "must see" film. It is well paced and keeps the audience's attention throughout. The settings and the atmosphere of the dark side of the city are convincing. My only reservation is the ending. I cannot see how Travis' action would have been viewed in the way that the film showed.

For instance, several episodes from the FOX releases clipped the main title from the opening credits. Comparing the same episodes with the Shout! Factory release, the main titles are intact and all of the words are included. There are no episodes with muddled audio, either.

You can spend your hard earned dollars with confidence when you buy this movie and you will want to either loan it to others or buy it for them as a gift. It's too bad that more movies of this quality are made, especially when you consider all the technology that is available.

"My Master the Chili King" (Episode #139) has Arvel (Gabriel Dell), who is Tony's cousin (twice removed) showing up and convincing Jeannie to invest $1,000 in his great recipe for Texas chili.  She buys his story that Tony has agreed to endorse the product and promptly blinks up cans with his picture on them and gets them on the shelves in every grocery store in the area.  The only problem is that NASA does not let its astronauts endorse products.  A solid outing as far as such things go, the episode also has Dick Van Patten as the clerk at the market.
I like a good spoof movie as much as anyone, as long as it is funny like BLAZING SADDLES or THE NAKED GUN movies.  But I think this movie was best described on an episode of THE SIMPSONS.

Police Chief Wiggum walked up the Wolfcastle and said, "Magic ticket, my a**!".  My sentiments exactly.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse is the kind of movie that critics hate, and movie goers love.  It's fast, it's furious, and don't try to make much sense of it (Example: the motorcycle crashing through the church window.  But hey!  It LOOKED great!).  Devil dogs, zombies (very lame ones, who fail the Romero zombie shuffle test), evil corporate scientists, and a band of heros out to save a little girl.  That's all you probably need to know.  This particular chapter of the RE series is probably closer than the original as far as aping the game, with various moments in various rooms where something hideous awaits.  As genre work, this movie is pretty good, with one star missing due to zombies being used as only background noise. Check it out!

6721	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Milla Jovovich as Joan of Arc. No. I don't think so. She tries, she really does. She invests her all into this role, and sometimes she does very well. But does she inspire legions of men to defend her and to defend France? Does she convey the kind of passion and compassion that could inspire so many men to believe in her? I think Jovovich errs too much in that she plays the role a little too far down the "insanity" line. This is a debate for some... was Joan of Arc a holy, saintly woman who really heard voices or was she simply insane? Who will ever know for sure? In this portrayal though Jovovich overacts and instead of conveying the passion of someone for whom her religion is sacred she conveys insanity. The story of Joan of Arc has been done better and more convincingly, and this film, while visually stunning, does not compare to earlier versions. Nice try.

He starts out of money and everything and manages to get a position in a club in San Francisco. He has the opportunity to meet a lady-friend of his, an ex-singer who has become a very rich woman and he plays with the idea of a partnership with her. It will break on the simple fact that he is divided between this rich woman from his past and a new girl. The rich woman is jealous of the other and Joey is taken between the two without knowing how to choose or get out of the rivalry without being hurt. He will in the end make the good choice and move to Sacramento, leaving his past behind and going to new adventures. The film is brilliant, the actors and actresses are very good. It sure is not a deep film, but it is a very touching film where women are shown to be the real masters of the world.

Add to that Jean Marsh as Rose (how could you not love her) The whole cast was incredible - even some members (like Pauline Collins as Sarah) who weren't in all the episodes are unforgettable.

 You'll agree with me I'm sure.
The ending of this story is not really a happy one.  Abel Magwich meets a grisly end, Miss Havisham is burned alive, and the romance between Pip and Estella seems to be in limbo.  One has to be reminded that Charles Dickens wrote the story and did two versions of the ending.  This is the happier of the two.

The uniforms,locations, and camp life were accurate as well as the  filth and harsh existence the Continental Army had to go through.  The  movie did an excellent job of trying to film the famous battle, which  definitely caught the Hessians by suprise.

Screenwriter Oliver Stone and director Alan Parker evoke the era from the outset by throwing in numerous 60s-type references (the frisbee that baffles airport security; the headlines referring to Janis Joplin's death and Nixon's declaration of war on terror).  It's a very canny cinematic set-up: a naive, playful and play-acting young American falls victim to the ultimate grim "Establishment" (a labyrinthine, foreign culture--which is even less inclined to show mercy than the most conservative U.S court would be).


8609	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	A very funny movie.....
As an idea, this movie excels in all aspects. All in all, fascinating camera work and excellent locales. One particular scene will leave you blown away.
This film, along with Star Wars revolutionized not only special effects but blockbusters in general. I've never seen another film that weaves both music and special effects so beautifully.
For the first and only time, Jim Henson brought together the creations from all his various Muppet universes--Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and Fraggle Rock--into one prodution. The results are hilarious and magical.


There is also the brave admission (by G. Washington) that the Continentals lack public support (enlistment being at a minimum, while trying to keep their minutemen from deserting), and the important role that Washington played throughout the Revolution in keeping the Continentals "alive," long enough for the French (1778), Spaniards (1779), and Dutch (1780) to enter the war against Great Britain, and win the war.

Umbrella tried to cover the accident up with its own special unit and the R.P.D. (Racoon city's police department) were in charge of the murders occuring a few months later outside the mansion. When the R.P.D. lost control the S.T.A.R.S. were called in to investigate which led to the first game. Bravo team had problems when they arrived at the woods outside the mansion in the movie.

  The story begins as the live-in girlfriend, Isabel(Julia Roberts) of Luke (Ed Harris) wakes up late and tries to get the kids ready for school.  Isabel spends a large part of this movie trying to find a way into the two children's lives and to have them accept her as part of theirs.  And of course this is never easy.  The role of Mom(Susan Sarandon) is built as a strong character who has endured her husband leaving her and is trying to raise her kids with shared custody.  She is often characterized as the one who can do no wrong.  The plot thickens as the children and the audience sees Luke wanting to marry Isabel and then their mother falling sick with cancer.


Travis has 2 choices, Kill the Presidential Candidate or Save the Girl. His first choice is to Kill the Candidate... That says a lot about Travis.  For as much as we cheer when he blows them away, for Travis this was his 2nd choice.



BOTTLE ROCKET is also a beatiful picture. The photograhpy is excellent--stylish in an understated way--and this adds an element of class to an already quality piece. Almost every shot would make an excellent photograph, full of rich and subtle detail, and interesting interplay of colors, textures, and distances. BOTTLE ROCKET does not have lavish sets, nor does it take place in exotic locales. Anderson instead transforms what would otherwise be lacklustre settings like rural Texas and a cheap motel into places of almost otherworldly beauty. The lighting has a lot to do with this effect, giving the movie a very clean, bright feel--think of a J.Crew ad, only set in the rural Midwest instead of a Cape Cod beach house. The movie gives the warm, uplifting feeling of a young, free, and beautiful America, a feeling one gets at certain times reading Kerouac. The music is superb to boot, as in all Anderson's flicks, and greatly enhances the visual experience.

Eventually, the Red Queen was obviously going to say "Off with their heads!"
The supporting cast includes Francois Truffaut (Lacombe), Bob Balaban (Laughlin) and Lance Henriksen (Robert).  An uplifting, positive motion picture, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" is thoroughly entertaining, as well as thought provoking.  Spielberg draws you in as few filmmakers can, with a great story and with characters who are readily accessible and with whom it is easy to identify-- all of which adds up to an absorbing, memorable and enjoyable experience, and a perfect example of the real magic of the movies.

Richard Dreyfuss gives a hell of a performance in this.  He's an ordinary guy whose life gets turned around by these phenominal events, which are the sighting of UFOs.  Other ordinary people are effected as well.  This is the power of the film.  The heroes aren't these Indiana Jones or super experts who know "everything" about aliens.  They are people, like you and I, who have a drastic change of viewpoint.

While admittedly *today* in real life there would be intense security to prevent this from happening, it seems a highly plausible plot for a film, especially in 1997 when it was made. The world sat in disbelief when it was announced at a TV  press conference that Kazakhstan terrorists hold the U.S. President James Marshall, delegates, and various family members as hostages up on Air Force One not long after boarding the plane in Russsia. Communications between Glenn Close, the U.S. Vice President, a prisoner on Air Force One and the U.S. Press Secretary in Washington confirmed their status ...
8956	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	My twenty-four month old son was familiar with Elmo from "Elmo's World," the fifteen minute segments that air during "Sesame Street." When we originally played this for him around eighteen months, he wouldn't watch it. It must have been too realistic for him, with Elmo's character being fleshed out a little more than on his show segments. There is also a plot with this, whereas the show simply introduces various simple concepts. Now he will sit and watch the entire movie, which runs barely more than an hour. His favorite part (who knows why) is Big Bird getting stuck in the trash can. This has little or nothing to do with the plot, though it serves to illustrate how well the folks at Sesame Street understand the mind of a child. I really have no qualms about letting my children watch Sesame Street because I know they are in very capable hands. There are learning lessons throughout, presented with the usual Sesame Street flair. The movie is also fairly entertaining for adults, with some decent songs. There seems to be less humor with this one than with other Sesame Street and Elmo productions, but that can be overlooked.

8331	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	Were all (actual) widescreen prints destroyed or something? I'm not a big fan of this movie, in fact I much prefer the 1999 version that actually adapts the musical. But when I saw this for the first time it was in Pan and Scan and yet during A Hard Knock Life you could see the kids knocking themselves out clearly. Here they zoomed in on the picture so that they knock themselves out offscreen. And this has the worst pan and scan job ever too- half the time we only see the characters' noses.

I do like this movie very much. I like the look, the story, the acting and much else about it. I think it's very clever with the right amount of tension meted out in good measure.. The big head-scratcher for me though is the basis of the story. The society has the "genetic code" thing down so tight it can predict a person's life expectancy to a tight time line. Why then, in Hawke's case, can't they fix his heart? Or any other person's malady for that matter. The gaping flaw being exposed though didn't lessen my enjoyment of it. All the primary actors do a stand-up job. Uma Thurman looks delicious. Even Ernest Borgnine does a decent job in his decidedly small role.
And even as these events are transpiring, one evening in Muncie, Indiana, the city is suddenly blacked out by an inexplicable power outage.  Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) is at home when it hits, and he is called in by the power company for which he works, then sent out in the darkness to an unfamiliar location.  Lost, he sits in his pick-up truck at a railroad crossing, studying a map, when all at once he notices a "disturbance" around him.  Mailboxes along the side of the road are clanging open and shut by themselves; then things inside his truck begin to move, subtly at first, then erupting and flying about as if caught up in a tornado--and then just as suddenly his truck is engulfed in a blinding light.  He leans out the window for a look, but it's too bright and he has to pull back.  Then just as abruptly, it all stops-- the disturbance, the light-- everything.  And he looks out the window again; but this time he sees something.  And though he doesn't realize it at the time, at that moment, his life changed forever.

7017	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Well, here it is another video game movie destined to follow in the path of Tomb Raider, Mortal Kombat, and other laughable adaptations of video games.  But wait, Resident Evil is good, very good.  I was expecting a hackneyed story with horrible dialogue and characters.  But instead I got a movie that brings back wonderful memories of the first game and the huge mansion and baddies.  It was all very nostalgic.  This movie is made for fans of the game pure and simple, anyone else isn't going to get it, there are lots of references to certain game elements.  Many characters from the game make an appearence, the zombies, the "licker", and even the ravens make a brief appearence.  There is even a slight reference to the nemesis program.  I read many reviews that tore into this movie for being implausible and ridiculous.  But these reviewers failed to take into account one thing.  Anyone going to a Resident Evil movie who knows the game is going to realize that B-movie schlock is part of the fun of RE.  The horribly stilted dialogue in the first game was unforgettably bad.  Not to say that the movie has anything that bad, the acting is actually rather good, especially Milla who really impressed me.  The best thing I have to say though, is that there is enough of the plot of the game to bring back pleasant memories of the game, but not too much so that it looks like I'm just watching the game in movie form.  That was a tightrope to walk, and I think it was pulled off admirably.  The direction was rock solid, there were far too many "boo" moments at the beginning, but thankfully that quickly faded.  There seems to be ample room for a sequel so I hope this movie does good business so I can see another one, because I'll be first in line.

While looking for movies to watch i came across this movie and was immediately attracted to it. I have to say that there were some scenes that at times seemed too "ridiculous" in a sense that It was hard to believe. Spoiler alert!  like when the guy walked around without anyone noticing it was him they were looking for even though his picture was everywhere). It was also hard to believe that in those days with such technology Cops were not able to locate the guy on the wheelchair  you would think that in the future police will be able to track anyone anywhere.)It was also crazy the lack of technology. Having said this, I have to confess that I have realized that those things are not relevant in the purpose of the movie . I mean sure they could have done better things but let us not forget this movie came out in 1999  i believe). So it's understandable that "technology " was not shown on a higher level. At the same time those things I just explained, Do not interfere with the great message of this gem. I really love this movie , I love the fact that the main character is someone with a lot of disadvantages in his life yet he manages to become even better than those who had it easier. It's a inspiring movie because it teaches us that " where there is a will there is a way". In my life it inspires me to not give up on my dreams and to fight for what I believe to be true.

Now, part of the artifice in the film is that men are little more than accessories to the lives of our starring six women.  The script, by Robert Harling from his script, gives us only a spattering of men who are all a good bit dumber, less caring, less compassionate and more boring than the women.  Tom Skerrit, Sam Shepard and Dylan McDermot play the husbands of Field, Parton and Roberts respectively, but the screenplay makes them all disposable.

  The plot is engrossing and well-developed; the transition from video game to movie was very well made, compared to most.  The dual-"enemy" of the A.I. supercomputer "Red Queen" and the zombies add two layers of horror to the film.  And of course, I have to agree with a previous reviewer that indeed, Milla Jovovich is HOT.  There's no getting around that.  She goes through the entire movie wearing a ridiculously [pretty] red dress which she didn't need to be wearing, but you don't hear me complaining.  Milla can look beautiful and kick zombie-[back side] at the same time.  The fact that the gorgeous Ms. Jovovich plays the main character certainly doesn't hurt the movie's enjoyablity for the male audience.
The only saving grace, if you can call it that, LAH has is Arnold Schwarzeneggar's performance.  His (non)acting is just as good in this movie as it is in THE TERMINATOR or TRUE LIES.  If the only good thing about your movie is Schwarzeneggar's acting, then your movie is in serious trouble.
The kind of film that people seem to have forgotten how to make these days, it's definitely more than the sum of its parts, and Twilight Time's Blu-ray release offers an outstandingly good and detailed transfer that really compliments Philip Lathrop's excellent Scope cinematography.

This is truly a great introduction to the films of Steven Spielberg.  Not to be missed........
Should you watch/get this movie? Depends. Can you accept that Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman, as Steed and Peel, are not McNee and Riggs, and are not trying to imitate the TV actors? That, as with King Lear, different actors can bring different qualities, different interpretations, to a role? If you can, yes, get this movie. Fiennes is diffident, where McNee was suave. Thurman is titillating, where Rigg was provocative. Some of the movie is silly; so was some of the TV show. (And remember, The Avengers was picked up by US TV not because it was good, but because it was the 60s, it had spies - and it was cheaper than making a show in the States.)
The writing is really key here.  Without the surprising character development, this would have been an average film at best, but there is so much between the lines here, in the things that are not said, and the comedic development is even richer than expected.  It's easy to see why Owen is the Wilson with the career, for Luke is rather lackluster but then again, his character is the least interesting.  He's even upstaged by his love interest, and she barely speaks a word of English.

Gave  them away and thanks so much to Shout Factory I'm enjoying this complete collection of THE BOB NEWHART SHOW. Plus comes with bonus features. No disappointment here.
Plus, Dreyfuss just suddenly given the nod to travel with them, even though he's wanted by the government?  I mean come on, not real.
NOTE: If you have the original DVD of Santa Claus is Comin' to Town, you may want to hang onto to it, though, because the Blu-ray contains no extras.
I know a review should give some hint as to what the plot is all about, so I will tell you this: The plot borrows a little from the ancient story of King Arthur. Arthur and his men are given instructions by God to find the Holy Grail. They must overcome many harrowing experiences to achieve this goal. For instance, they have to appease the dreaded "Knights Who Say Nee!" (Hint: Just don't use the word, "it" in front of them!) Arthur is forced to fight the Black Knight - this scene is very bloody -- not for children. Then, there is the bridge of death. "He who wishes to pass this bridge must answer me these questions three," says the bridge-keeper, a very scary individual, indeed.

We never really learn any of the vital statistics of Chaney (portrayed by Charles Bronson).  Like a lot of able- bodied men at this time, he is a drifter out of work.  We don't know where he is from or where he going.  His profession, relatives and family are a mystery.  He says little and only what he means to say.
3945	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Don't get confused with what seems to be a small amount of extras on this two disc DVD set.  The visual and audio for the film were pretty good (especially considering how many different times this movie's been re-edited, re-shot, etc.).  The documentary (over an hour and a half long) seems to squash any necessity for an audio commentary.  Seeing how a lot of these physical effects were done reminded me how far film effects have gone over the years and shows how the little experiments can pay off big.  Included are some deleted scenes (almost all I believe come from the previous versions of the film) and some trailers.  However, the main reason for this purchase for me is the film itself.  Though Steven Spielberg admits that out of all his films that "it's the one that dates him as a person now", it's one of those films that still has resonance with the little kid in me.  It's a truly great film, and one of my personal favorites.

Special Feature: The Finished Film [24:00] More stories about Brad Davis's eccentricity, the decision to avoid subtitling the foreign dialogue, the photography, the score, and the movie's controversial reception at Cannes.

Parental Advisory: The movie is rated PG-13 for brief violence, some language and some sexuality.

A character commits suicide (mostly off camera).

They kept some elements from the games, and that's a good thing. The city is still "Raccoon City", the train really is identical to the one in the game of "Resident Evil 2", (Spoilers) the city in the end really seems to be an image taken from the game, it's the Umbrella Corporation, etc. But, talking about that ending, which is actually pretty good, I would have seen the whole movie setting in the Raccoon City streets, like we do in the beginning of "Resident Evil 2" (the game).
The production and mastering of the Acorn set is so-so at best, both as to image and sound quality and the interface.

Early on, the story draws the divisions between those characters driven by fear as opposed to those who are willing to throw off fear in favor of wonder. Claude Lacombe (Francois Truffaut) and David Laughlin (Bob Balaban) are the two investigators who are led around the world by the series of inter-connected coincidences which lead them to believe something extra-terrestrial is going on. They are in the wonder department. And so is Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss), a mid-west suburbanite who has an amazing "encounter", as well as a little boy, Barry, in the same geographical region who is enthralled with the coming of the aliens.

6709	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Besson's "Joan Of Arc" is just short of a masterpiece! Many dismiss it as just show but Besson knew better and flanked his vision is powerful images of war, horror and outstanding acting! Jovovich deserved an Oscar Nomination for this film but due to the films minor flaws such as its often missed directed musical score and bad casting of John Malkovich, voters went cold. The story takes liberties here and ther but a deeper story is there taht no film has ever touched and to really grab the genrebending myths behind the real Joan of Arc who was really called "Joan The Virgin" makes this film even more compelling. Facts like the French may have been embrassed by a poor woman leading them to victory and that Joan was very afraid of being burned at the stake and jumped from the 70 foot high tower which was her prison without a scratch on her when she landed! obviously she was recaptured and burned but while at the stake the crowd began to change their views and demanded for her release. It took the executioner 5 trys to burn her at the stake due to the fire kept burning out! Joan was not on trial for crimes committed against an English king but for immorally corupt behavior due to her donning mens clothing which magically found its way into her cell! This is what she was killed for being a witch! The english belived it looked bad to give just a mere powerfull, intellignet, brave, self driven-19 yr. old the hand of death but to murder an all powerfull witch her last due was justified! Besson's take on this is brilliant painting Joan as a saint to those who love her and powerfull to those who fear her! The film does not paint her as diluted but as the English would want us to view her! Hoffman is brilliant as the FILMS voice of reason and as a whole the images and sounds take full advantage of the films epic scope! A must by alone to see a distraught Jovovich in a wheat field telling an army of thousands to "Fight Me If You Love Me"! About as close to the true Joan as we might see for a long time...a must own!

We began saying things like, "Look at that one!  That one!"  I believed for a long time afterwards that what I saw that one night were alien ships circling Earth, that we were not alone, and that it wouldn't be long before everyone else knew what I knew.  Of course I was a tremendous fan of Sci-fi films like "Last Starfighter", "Explorers", the "Star Wars" films, TV shows like "Transformers" (later on in life a show called "Space: Above and Beyond" would get cancelled much to my disappointment).  I was the believing nerd; you couldn't convince me aliens weren't real.

Now, let's be clear. This film (and it's stable-mates) have no pretentions to high art. Neither are they really intended to faithfully reproduce the games from which they developed. The RE film series is no more than a bunch of zombie movies and I think we need to hold on to that thought. There will be plenty of shuffling, slack-jawed, dead-eyed ghouls (but that's enough about Amazon reviewers), gallons of gore and, as the protagonists have access to military-grade weaponry, a far-from-modest body-count. The story-line, believability and acting all take second place to the really important stuff - heads coming off and good-looking heroes/heroines and at least we can take comfort that the director and producer understood that perogative.

The film itself remains a raw, audacious classic.  It's like an American Look Back in Anger, full of the bitterness and rage of its time.  The outcast filmmakers seize the medium for expression of the culture's hostility, confusion and prejudice.  It's the classic journey through Hell with an unreliable tour guide: Travis Bickle, the psychotic antithesis of the sensitive 70s male.  He's the Vietnam veteran who wants to be Ethan Edwards rather than Kris Kristoferson.  (He points his gun at the kids dancing to Jackson Browne on Bandstand.)

There are many comments about the Hinda/Morton version not closely following the book, I was more interested in the movie than the book, if I purely wanted the book, I would read that and not watch the movie. I've seen the Hinds/Morton Jane Eyre many times, each time I see more and more pure acting ability from Hinds than any other actor in this role, his facial expressions portray as much as his spoken lines. Hinds in excellent in portraying the gruffness and hard edge of Rochester yet tenderness in his passion and love for Jane--Hinds brings Rochester to life. The last scenes of this movie with Hinds' and Morton's recital of love and devotion for each other are nothing short of astounding.  Hinds' tears were real as he poured out his heart to Jane that he was no longer worthy of her, how could she love him now as a wounded blind man unable to care for her--amazing acting on Hinds' part.  The same was true for Morton as Jane, her tears flowed easily and with such realism as she promised to never leave him again, she had returned to him forever.

My only grievance with this movie was its ending. I will not spoil it, but I will say that I did feel it was inconclusive and didn't provide me with adequate closure for the two characters' ultimate fates. Even the alternate ending still left me feeling a bit unfulfilled but I will leave it up to each individual viewer to decide for themself. The ending just didn't quite work for me and was the only element that prevented me from giving this film the full five stars.

Leo McKern, who plays Rumpole, is one of the best actors I have ever come across. The rest of the cast is also outstanding, many of them playing characters who are unintentionally funny.
Unfortunately, the film grinds down to a deadly pace in the last 1/3 of the film.  It is essentially 40 minutes of a faceless mob (of scientists) and Dreyfuss staring at the sky and watching lights appear and disappear.  Yes, the effects are good, even by today's standards, but it is boring!  Similarly, Teri Garr as the protagonist's wife is nothing but a carricatured harpy, and their breakup is clumsily handled by the immature (at the time) director.  All in all, though, the film holds up well to time and repeated viewings.

All of this is housed in a sturdy cardboard case for both the Blu-ray and DVD. This set is highly recommended on both DVD and Blu-ray since it houses the ultimate edition and allows viewers to pick the version of the film they enjoyed the most.

468	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	A movie never presents a story exactly as you envisioned it, but nevertheless, every movie version you see gives you new insights into the story.  This is a very Biblically accurate version of the Joseph story, not changing the Biblical story but rather developing it.  (For example, in this version, Potiphar believes Joseph is innocent of immorality with his wife, and Joseph tells him about his past as a flashback, not found in the Bible.)  The massacre at Shechem in Genesis 34 is included and shows what rotten people some of Joseph's brothers were.  The actors for the brothers do very well demonstrating individuality but also a group mentality, and they show powerful character change by the end.  It's interesting that the movie shows the brothers have really changed just by showing their eager attitude in blessing the name of God with their father Jacob ("Blessed be His name")!  The actor for Jacob does very well, too.  (The actor for Joseph is fine, too, but the character couldn't have too much personality, because every viewer has a preconceived expectation of what he should be like.)  The movie introduced me to an interesting idea, which is that Jacob may have been involved in preserving genealogies and stories from Abraham.  The Book of Genesis does have a much more continuous account of Jacob's life, whereas stories of Abraham's life are like disconnected snapshots.  So what I got most out of this movie was the interesting idea that the Book of Genesis was recorded before Moses' time.
5792	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I recently watched this film because it came on TV during Halloween. I had seen all the previous Resident Evil movies, and figured I'd continue to watch the rest of the series. I found this to be entertaining in a cheap thrills and one-liners sort of way. Although fun, I am quite stumped by the giant Franken-zombie with a huge meat-tenderizer looking weapon. Really? But I digress. As the heroine, I like that Alice has a "heart of gold" which is emphasized more in the next movie - Resident Evil Retribution.

Very interesting details about filming locations, casting, a deleted scene, and seven new scenes added into the 1980 re-issue called "Special Edition: Close Encounters of the Third Kind".

Over 15 unseen deleted scenes not seen in the original and not the "Special Edition", except for the "Special Edition" ending which is shown.
Jeff Daniels is cast as Washington, and I found myself very critical of his performance.  He seemed aloof and wooden and, even though there was constant danger, he never lost his cool, calm leadership abilities.  I understand, though, that this is exactly the kind of person that George Washington was. If this is true, then he did portray him well.

The actors do there best to work the "family thing" but the scenes are prolonged and drag the story line.  More effective are the ones with Melinda Dillon and the precocious Cary Guffey as a mother and son, respectively, terrorized by nocturnal and unseen visitors.

Andrew's Blu-ray Review: `Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town' was originally a 1970 stop motion television special, made by Rankin-Bass. The film stars actor Fred Astaire as the narrator S.D. Kluger, Mickey Rooney as Kris Kringle/Santa Claus, Keenan Wynn as the Winter Warlock, and Paul Frees in various roles. The film tells the story of how Santa Claus and several Claus-related Christmas traditions came to be. It is based on the hit Christmas song of the same name, which was introduced on radio by Eddie Cantor in 1934, and the story of Saint Nicholas.

Adam Sandler, Eddie Murphy, and all those others - mere cannon fodder to the Pythons! I'm not saying they aren't funny, mind you! I think Eddie Murphy is definitely hilarious!

This tends to somewhat summarize LUc Besson, his style, and this film in particular. It is spectacular all the way, from the battle scenes - as gory and "realistic" as you might expect - to Jeanne's "voices", pictured as if in some kind of fantasy or even a horror film. You like it very much or you dislike it just as intensily, or, you like perhaps some of it - the battle scenes are rather good, although they may perhaps feel a bit "overdone" -(and "over gory" in particlar), but then this is about personal preferences and since none of us were actually there, it's rather difficult to objectively appreciate whether scene A or scene B is "realistic" or not.

My favorite "extra" is the documentary of Terry Jones and Michael Palin, revisiting all the sites where the movie was filmed (just 1 castle for many; an old copper mine; the Castle Aaarrrgg which they never got to enter during the shooting).
What this film looks at is a kinder, gentler time out among the big rocks and the fast running western rivers as seen through the eyes of Norman Maclean, played by Craig Sheffer, looking at his coming of age and growing up adventures along with his wilder younger brother Paul, played by younger wilder Brad Pitt, up against the stern Jehovah out of the wilderness father figure minister father, played by Tom Skerritt who took both his religion and his fly-fishing seriously. The early part of the film aside from serious breathe-taking looks at the Montana wilds involves the usual boys coming of age stuff including defying the cloying family home life  befit a ministers sons. Later after some time away from college in the East Norman came back for a time before setting out for a career as a professor. In Cain and Abel fashion (without the murderous impulse) Paul stayed home, stayed in bedrock Podunk Montana working as a newspaperman after college but more to the point living the high life as a gambler, fist-fighter, heavy drinker and woman chaser, including having a Native American girlfriend (and just to prove that those times were perhaps a little less edenic for Native Americans she faces as much Anglo hostility as blacks faced in the that golden age 1950s).

9929	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	A great sci-fi film that has genetic engineering, class discrimination and an intriguing murder mystery. Ethan Hawke is fantastic as Vincent, a man with a heart defect who has to fool the world in order to be a recruit for space flight. Jude Law's performance as Jerome, the cripple who gives his own identity to Vincent, is one of the best performances of the 90's. Law's best scene is when he has to climb the stairs only using his arms. Amazing!
Milla Jovovich does a great job in the title role.  Yes, she's extremely erratic, but this serves to convey the feeling of overwhelming religiosity and sense of purpose...and, she's of believable age and appearance for Joan.  The entire film has an undercurrent of tension that comes from the weight of the subject matter.  Luc Besson has created a visual masterpiece, sometines looking MTV-ish, but in a manner that makes the period come alive for modern audiences rather than being distracting.
4570	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	I remember seeing this as a kid and thinking wow how scary? and seeing it again thinking the same,but I take issue with(SPOILER,if you Have not seen it,do not read further)The Priest being portrayed in the utmost negative light,GodForbid the Rabbi or some Moslem is portrayed like that in Hollywood. The whole end of the world thing reminds me of the "Left Behind" stuff from Protestant sects and how they take advantage of Revelations,the way God is portrayed as a Vengeful God A-la Old Testament,it seems to be like a typical Protestant taking advantage like they do with Sola Scripture. The movie itself is not bad nor does it seem to be blasphemous(I could be wrong),the acting and Jesus seems very intense,But nobody knows when the End of the world is they say not even the Son.

The movie is awash in bright colors - the opening shots of the child Jean skipping down her childhood hills of Orleans are quite simply, stunning. Equally enthralling are her visions of `Jesus on the throne' as well as the extended sequence ten minutes into the film where Jean is chased by a pack of wolves, culminating in her discovery of the entire village being torched. If there is one downside to the film, it is that it depicts the English as overly boorish and immoral, while the French are noticeably better looking and far more civilized. Whether this is historically accurate or not, I do not know, but the portrayals of these two sects are quite distracting.

It is just so intriguing not only in its central theme but as a very interesting story filled with many fascinating character complexities and interactions.

There is a certain intimacy about this film that I can't seem to describe  but it just captures you.
We're supposed to sympathize with Richard Dreyfuss's character who becomes possessed with a vision imparted within him by super-intelligent, super-sensitive aliens.  But how can anyone sympathize with a man who willingly throws away his wife and children to follow some vague abstract space vision.
This is about King Aurther of Camalot and his knights of the round table serching for the Holy Grail.  What insuses is a 2 hour comedy romp with memorable chearcters, witty and remembrable dialoge, and sene after sene of gut busting humor.
The first hour of the movie offers little in the way of gore and some decent semi-scary vampire make-up, but in the final 30 minutes things get really good.  I mean, its still silly.  But this movie features a looong gory death scene that doubles as a gooey transformation scene (to a werewolf-looking form), a super disgusting melting death, a huge and ugly vampire bat, and the monstrously over-sized vampire mouth that would subsequently be used in the Fright Night (2011) remake and the From Dusk til Dawn (1996) films.

The independent film was also quite volatile behind-the-scenes as Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda who were close friends at the beginning of the film, because of the demands of the film, the two had a falling out.  The film featured a lot of fighting between the crew, there was a lot of drug use with not only the cast but also the crew.  In fact, some of the scenes used on the film, the talent were wasted on marijuana and some have said that it was remarkable how much the actors were able to work while high on drugs.

I believe Travis is watchin Soul Train or something of that sort and there is a slow song playing and everyone is dancing in couples. You then see Travis's face and you can almost see the tears and despair in his face. He sees eveyone on the T.V. with someone, with some form of companionship, whether it be just for TV or real. When they show Travis's face, you can tell he realizes he'll never have that. The lonliness in his face is saddening and I think this one scene really brings home the lonliness and despair Travis feels.

There is a certain weakness to the development of the plot, but the subject matter is going to soon be back in the headlines.



We come to know the couple and their problems, as we witness a doomed love affair by Marjorie with an artist that she forsakes to save her mariage and which underscores the power of duty in English society. Richard learns of the affair but doesn't address it directly with his wife, whom he resolutely adores, but instead stands by her as she grieves for the one true love she has chosen to give up. Marjorie's life is cut short (the actress left the show after two seasons) after a fateful voyage on the Titanic.
Ignore anyone selling this second hand on amazon or anywhere else for over 20 bucks... they are ripping you off hard.

But, as it is with music comparisons, you can't look at Iron Eagle as a Top Gun rip off, it is in my opinion more entertaining and way better in it's own right.

After its initial release, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS enjoyed a second release not much later with CLOSE ENCOUNTERS: THE SPECIAL EDITION, which added footage cut and/or reshot to make the film a bit closer to visionary Steven Spielberg's dream picture.

The only negative is that Scorcese does not have the original negative 35mm film of the last 12 minutes or so which feature (at the time) a very bloody chain of events.

The dialogues are bad and the performance terrible; why make Alice look tough in the film? And the zombies almost doesn't appear. The special effects are bad and Nemesis is just a mass of makeup, not to mention the music.

Now, after having seen "Resident Evil" twice in theaters, I can definitely say my hastiness to prematurely slam it was wrong because, people, this movie flat out rocked!!! Paul Anderson surprised me.
The cinematography shows strong in the pans of the city at all hours as it is seen through Travis's eyes; and the choreography works well in the bloody fighting at the end of the movie, too.
'Gattaca' is a the story of Vincent (Hawke), a young man who was conceived by natural birth, and his determination to fight back in a world where genetic engineering is the norm, where employment solely rests on how you were born. Vincent decides to take the identity of genetically engineered man, Jerome (Law), an athlete who, unknown by the public, suffered an accident that left him paralyzed. Vincent is now Jerome and is working at Gattaca so that he will fulfill his dreams and be launched into space. However, things take an unexpected turn when a man is murdered at Gattaca and the police arrive to investigate. While cleaning up the scene, a single eye lash from Jerome/Vincent is found, and the police now suspect the murder was caused by him, as Vincent is an "in-valid."

I like spectacular, fast paced movies and I am not really a great intellectual - but when a movie is REALLY intelligent and well done, sometimes I like them even better. And "Gattaca" is an exceptionally well thought, well conceived, well directed, well paced, well balanced and VERY well interpreted movie. It is amazing how much you can do with a modest budget if you have a brilliant scenario and a good idea how to use it, when you keep a good control over your movie and when you hire half a dozen of really excellent actors, who clearly enjoy playing much more than "being a star". The director, Andrew Niccol, managed to do all of it very well (oh, why, but why, couldn't he direct the "Terminal" rather than only writing the scenario).
Milla Jovovich is a capable actress, but good acting really doesn't drive this movie.  She's at least believable.  Rodriguez is over the top, but in a good way, as the ever-vigilant militant soldier.  Good action sequences and superb special effects render this movie one to consider.
What....you want a plot? Sorry, there just isn't one. Well, nothing that could be coherently described as a plot, anyway. The target audience of this movie won't realize this, but what we get is a collection of music videos very very loosely tied together around a number of dismal subplots.

For those that don't know the title Gattaca is made up of letters that are all nucleotides , the building blocks of DNA. That is kind of neat. And they never really advertise that. They don't mention that in the movie. You just have to kind of know what. Makes you feel special if you do know it. That's how I know the writer is a highly intelligent person and expect the audience to be intelligent also. They don't dumb it down for us.  I loved it. Five stars. I would give it six if I could.

6923	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	I do not like Sinatra, and as someone once said, Joey is the role he was born to play.  A self-important little heel.  I think he had a very slight singing voice (with orchestral delusions of grandeur, look at the arrangement of his "Softly, As I Leave You") and I think he was a megalomaniac.  Also, before I drop the subject, the tune in this flick that floored all the other reviewers here ("The Lady Is A Tramp") was written for a woman and has many more, and many cleverer choruses, and was written for "Babes in Arms," not "Pal Joey."  Rita Hayworth (whose character, Vera Simpson, was just rich on the stage) plays a former stripper, not a former singer.  And her number, "Zip!" has words in it not even written by Hart!  The plot of the show (par for Hollywood) was bowdlerized, rewritten and destroyed for the flick, and left simplistic and with most of its songs gone.  Good ones too.  I've read O'Hara's libretto and I've heard the score.  The film is a colorful diversion (like the films of Porter's "Can-Can" and Loesser's "Guys and Dolls," both also with Sinatra, both also eviscerated and abridged, though Loesser fared best of the three), it'll kill an hour and a half, Rodgers' tunes are done well (as well as non-singers can do them), O'Hara and Hart are rewritten with only the bare bones left, but in 2003, who really cares anymore.  Rodgers & Hart will be around when this shadow of one of their best shows (almost all their shows were their best shows, they were gems, but this one had a script by John O'Hara, sigh, what a waste) is forgotten.  Watch it, feel good (if you can stand Sinata; Novak and Hayworth are talented and beautiful), and then forget it.

"How To Succeed...At Murder" has her in a bodystocking/leotard, practicing ballet for a good portion of the story.

Of course you have to remember this is a series from the 70's so if you are expecting to be as entertained as one is with downton Abbey then you will be disappointed.

Martin Scorcese's classic Taxi Driver is the quintessential "Through The Looking Glass" examination of how a man becomes an island in a city of millions.  The Classic Anti-Hero, Travis Bickle, (Robert DeNero, "Henry Krinkle") is all too pathetic, all too pitiful in the way that he wrenches from you pure disgust of his persona.  Everyone sometime in life have felt that crushing loneliness he goes through, but few people compound that loneliness in layers as he does.  It seems that his every action feeds his problems until he loses contact with reality, and his fantasies take control to turn him into a killing machine.  Through Travis' eyes and mind we see the worst of society.  Travis seems to incorporate all these defects into his own personality.

I just want to give a nod to the fine supporting performances that help to elevate this film to the status of B-movie classic. Robert Terrier, always the tough guy, fits the role of "the one to beat" to a tee. (Terrier was actually a decorated Korean war vet who was also an accomplished furinture maker.) And while James Coburn does a fine turn as the slick fight promoter, it is Stother Martin who steals the show as Bronson's corner man, Poe. No one could have delivered the line, "In my third year of medical school a dark cloud appeared over campus and I left under it," quite like Martin.

I usually try to be a bit more intelligent, but the first word that comes to mind when I think of this particular version is CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Historically innacurate, spiritually unfaithful, this film stinks.  It is downright heretical, portraying our beloved Jeanne as having made a pact with the devil.  She is shown as a proud, haughty girl at odds with her Church.  What a bunch of bull.  The ONLY two bits of this film I appreciated were the attention given to her ring (given her by her brother), as well as the scene when she brings a child back to life (I am unaware of any other films on her that portray this true story).

Shot on a very low budget (less than $1.5 million)and originally slated for director Brian DePalma (who ended up tackling "Obsession" also from a script by "Taxi Driver" writer Paul Schrader which also featured Bernard Herrmann writing the score), "Taxi Driver" became Scorsese and Schrader's first great film. It's fascinating to watch the script-to-screen comparison which illustrates the artistry of writer, actors and director bring to the project making it quite unique.

A few minutes into the movie, I thought it was a horror movie. Even then I was disappointed because it's not nearly horrifying enough. Then a third of the movie gone by, the plot became more and more ridiculous, and only then did I realize that the filmmakers wanted to make it a black comedy.

Big fans of the game, it's probably a good investment to purchase (though I'm sure everyone that was going to buy it did so a long time ago) . You could do a lot worse (like rent the director's Mortal Kombat, for instance) Bonus/deleted/alternate scenes, and easter eggs (yes, you can stop hunting for them now), are conspicuously absent on the DVD, which leads me to believe the talk about releasing a 2 disc set a few months down the line of an `unrated director's cut'.

While each Spice Girl physically embodies stereotypical fashions, physiques and attitudes, those characteristics don't translate over to their personalities. Either they were all scripted to be ditzy, or they're just naturally that way. Through constant daydream sequences they act out various scenarios, most of which are intended as comedy relief, despite the blatant absence of humor. Similarly, the dance and song segments arise from nonsensical situations, and they're choreographed with little self-respect, and with obnoxious elements such as an Army dance instructor and poor lip-syncing. Alan Cumming plays a character very much like we envision him to be in his everyday life, and Roger Moore embarrassingly plays a villain who strokes various furry animals and speaks in riddles, an obvious farce of his own James Bond evildoers.

Dolly Parton is a natural as gossipy beautician Truvy  Jones, whose marriage is falling apart. Olympia Dukakis brings sarcastic  but lovable Clairee Belcher to life. Her dialogue sparkles: "They were  both high. They'd been smoking everything but their shoes," and  "She's the new mayor's wife. We hate her." Daryl Hannah is  adequete as shy prayer Annelle Dupey Desoto, although she could have been  better.

This show has an amazing cast, not to mention riveting plot lines. As a costume drama, it is pretty enough but due to the age of the show and the budget constraints back then, the production quality is not as great as contemporary period dramas such as seen on hit series Downton Abbey, the remake Upstairs, Downstairs and others.

1091	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Though I usually enjoy Woody Allen's more recent work, I'm one of many filmgoers whose heart still belongs to his earlier, anything-for-a-laugh, anarchistic comedies like Bananans, Sleeper, and this one.  Take the Money And Run was Woody Allen's first real film to direct himself and it remains one of his funniest.  Disguised as a documentary, this 1969 film tells the hilarious story of Virgil Starkweather, the world's most inept (if stupidly optomistic) thief.  Like most of Woody Allen's early films, everything is played almost solely for the laughs it might provide and nearly forty years later, it all holds up very well.  Lots of hilarious stuff in here (at times, this film is the funniest Mel Brooks film that Mel Brooks never made) but my personal favorite bits would have to include: Virgil's parents who disguise their indentities by wearing Groucho Marx glasses but will be familiar to anyone whose seen any of Allen's films, Virgil's attempt to rob a bank is foiled when none of the clerks can read his bad handwriting, another robbery goes wrong when a rival gang decides to rob the same bank at the same time, Virgil's attempt to escape from prison by making a fake gun out of soap is ruined when it starts to rain, the sight of Woody Allen on a southern chain gang (and being punished by being locked in the hole with an insurance salesman), and especially the scene where a man Virgil attempts to mug turns out to be not only a childhood school friend but an undercover cop as well.  Directing with a wild-anything-goes-spirit, Woody Allen gives one of his first (and best) "born loser" performances as Virgil.  Amongst all the madness, the film also presents a bizarrely sweet love story between Virgil and his wife, who is well-played by the lovely (and the sadly no longer with us) Janet Margolin.  Always underappreciated, Margolin was one of those forgotten, at times almost painfully vulnerable actresses that one can't help but fall in love with everytime she appears on screen. Though overshadowed by the later Diane Keaton and Mia Farrow, Janet Margolin was Woody Allen's first unlikely love interest (in both film and briefly real life) and they have a strong chemistry together that adds much heart to a wild film.  Take the Money and Run remains hilarious and will be enjoyed by both fans of Woody Allen and classic film comedy.
In the biography, If This Was Happiness (Sphere Books Limited), writer Barbara Leaming observed that "it was common knowledge that Harry Cohn had anointed Kim Novak to replace Rita Hayworth at Columbia and shortly thereafter, the creation of Kim Novak as Columbia's next 'big star' was widely thought to be Harry Cohn's revenge on Rita Hayworth, so that putting the two actresses together made the press and public expect fireworks. Still, according to George Sidney, on the set 'there was no friction between Rita Hayworth and Kim Novak.' Although Rita Hayworth did lament that she was actually younger than Frank Sinatra, she was really just anxious to fulfil her final obligations to the studio as quickly and as smoothly as possible."

The extras are what make this version so desirable. Included on the two disc set are numerous diversions, including a couple of documentaries (one made in 1974 on location, and one made for this release.) One of the highlights of this package is the documentary "The Quest for the Holy Grail Locations!" in which Terry Jones and Michael Palin take us on visits to the locations where the film was shot. It is a very interesting and entertaining documentary with footage from the movie compared with how the areas look now; of particular interest are the interior views of the castles.
A refreshing, entertaining, and witty horror comedy that makes fun of the vampire genre with some good ideas, gore, self-referential jokes ( Before " Scream"), great special effects by Richard Edlund, wild vampire make-up effects by Steve Johnson and it's just a down and out fun yet original vampire movie with a cult following, it's one of the best from the 80's next to " The Lost Boys".

Other noteworthy performances include those of Kate Nelligan, Blythe Danner and George Carlin.  Oscar-nominated Kate Nelligan brilliantly portrays Lila Wingo Newbury, the high-strung and status-hungry mother of Nolte's character.  Nelligan is stunning as a young mother in the flashback scenes and looks convincingly older in the present setting (kudos, makeup and wardrobe crew).  Blythe Danner was perfect as Tom's frustrated wife Sallie, a character deserving of compassion in her own right.  Comedian George Carlin plays Eddie, the gay and caring neighbor of Tom's suicidal twin sister Savannah.  Carlin is commended for conveying his character's sexuality with a bit more subtlety than flamboyance and for playing his dramatic scenes as wonderfully as his comedic ones.

Harrison Ford's President James Marshall is married to a tenacious, headstrong wife in the Hilary mode, and they have a 12-year old daughter. (So was Bill Pullman's president in "Independence Day.") Unlike Clinton, President Marshall flew helicopter rescue missions in Vietnam and received a Medal of Honor. No, the filmmakers refuse to identify President James Marshall's party affiliation, which make "Air Force One" impartially political, while it trumpets America's anti-terrorist stance.
4999	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Mel Brooks is by far, the greatest entertainer to ever live. There is nothing he can't do or hasn't done. This collection is a nice showcase of some highlights of his career. As many mention there are some movies missing, most notably the producers which as of the date of this review, is not yet available on blu ray. But so what, I'll enjoy my DVD until it does come out. So instead of whining about what isn't there, sit back and thoroughly enjoy what IS included. I don't need to sit here and tell you movie by movie why they are great, you should already know that by now. Buy this, cherish it, watch each film over and over again, and maybe you can remember not to take life so seriously anymore.
All in all, if you have time to kill, and want a simple non absorbing musical, this is your movie.
Ivan Korshunov (Gary Oldman) and a team of Russian bad guys manage to sneak onboard Air Force One and take over the plane.  They believe the Prez took the escape pod and left his staff, wife, and daughter to die.  What they don't know is that Marshall (a Medal of Honor winnter) is still onboard and is working to take back his plane.
Kudos to the cast, which is stellar all around. Nolte shines as Tom, giving a powerful performance full of convincing emotion and forceful dialogue. Streisand's role as Lowenstein is good enough, better than most give her credit for; she gets the job done in front of and behind the camera with serviceable results. Add to this a supporting cast that includes Blythe Danner as Tom's wife, Kate Nelligan as his mother, and Streisand's own son, Jason Gould, as her character's son, and you have a truly becoming cast that adds zest and freshness to the script.
There are good things, though.  Sienna Guillory is a standout as the strong-willed police officer, whose acting is perhaps better than the star Milla Jovovich.  Perhaps her roles was cut short (especially the earlier part) because some of her behaviors in the opening parts look too adrupt.  They should not have done that (if they did, I mean).  And Mike Epps gives us a few moments of genuine laughs, which are always welcome to me.

2213	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	The film is reminiscent of many an airplane, ship, railroad and, probably, even ferry boat, terror-hostage-'noted individual at risk' film; however, making it the President, gives it an extra bit of  pizzazz. Of course, Harrison Ford does his usual professional job, the nasty guys are suitably nasty, the good ones are suitably heroic, and one forgives them their excesses in the name of thriller necessity. Thriller it is, and, a good one. Lovers of the genre, accustomed to forsaking reality for the sake of enjoying a film, will like this one. I liked it. The only thing which marred it for me, occasionally was the lurking thought which would rise to the  surface before I firmly repressed it; what if we really had a President in a crisis who also ignored his oath of office so readily, had no sense of his duty to the country, what if we really had a Vice-President so unwilling to do the hard but necessary things. Never fear, President Harrison Ford will triumph as will V.P. Close. Never fear, the United States does not collapse into anarchy.

So basically, if you watch this the first time, you might really find objectionable that it deviates in some respects from actual occurrences. and draws some characters and events with a too broad and thus somewhat inaccurate brush..  But it actually isn't too bad a movie, when you realize that all movies of true events deviate somewhat from the truth to tell a story. And while this has some deviations from reality that seem excessive at first, actually it really isn't too far off the mark, or too bad a movie.
5029	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	TAXI DRIVER is an iconic film, considered by many to be a masterpiece and the crowning achievement of both Martin Scorsese and Robert DeNiro.  Whatever your opinion this is a powerful film that starts strong and never lets up that has also stood the test of time.  Everything in the movie is done so realistically that the story could still be told today.  Robert  Deniro plays Travis.  We know little about him other than that he is an ex marine and a deep insomniac.  He also sees the world as a dirty place that needs to be cleaned up.  He becomes a taxi driver in the city of New York which takes on a realistic role of its own here.  We see the two sides of everything and the same goes for New York.  Nothing is held back on showing the realistic gritty underside of the city.
It's no secret that Pal Joey was cleaned up considerably for the screen after the Production Code office demanded numerous changes, but it survived the sanitation process and even made off with four Oscar nominations: Best Editing, Best Costume Design, Best Sound, and Best Art Direction. It also marks the end of Rita Hayworth's long relationship with Columbia Pictures.

Then I was a freshman who couldn't help tears. The 'Mission' finished the game...the scene of climbing cliff with his heavy armors, gee- even just reminding of it causes tears again now. What a great actor he is! God father 2, Deer hunter and so on, even though some of his recent stuffs were not great (I didnt' like 'Heat' anyway). Yesterday, I had bought a used video of Taxi driver and today morning, before coming to work, I couldn't help watching about 10 min. Yeah- really it is a great movie and I can know it with only 10 mins' watch. It is a really great thing to live with one great actor or two (Jack, it is you). Ah- check 'Midnight Run'.

THIS version is the widescreen transfer (yellow background) while the more available red and glittery version is not. This was a 2:35 to 1 film, and if you get the other full screen version you are missing half of the performances right off the top. Do yourself a favor and stay away from the more readily available red cover and grab this. Unless you enjoy losing half of your field of vision by "filling" the screen on an old-fashioned 4:3 out of date TV this is the one to buy.

Did not believe Chaney would give all that money to Coburn and Poe at the end. Before the final fight he said he owed Speed nothing. Best things about the film. It's pacing. It seems everyone is acting in slow motion ( which was a great change from todays overly edited films ), except "Speed".

Maybe logic isn't exactly what people are looking for when they watch a "no-brainer", but this film is really too much.

I give this one the full 5 stars as the old time feel with the pretty good script is fun, nostalgic, and meaningful though it may get a tad smug and schmaltzy at times. The acting and directing are in general stellar. Stunning photography finally brought to your screen how it should be. You won't want to ever go back to the blobby mess that is DVD again.

However, George C. Scott did a very good, very restrained Rochester in his later version and this version presents a very good Rochester as well.  Morton as Jane Eyre confirms my earlier opinion from her performance in "Sweet And Low Down" that she is an actress to watch.  As far as faithfulness to the novel, I really don't demand that from films which are a very different creative medium from novels. The basic story has become a timeless classic, often copied but never equaled.  Jane is a poor orphan who becomes a governess for Rochester's ward.  He is a wealthy man with a beautiful estate.  They fall in love but a horrible dilemma from his past comes forth to haunt them both.

The reason I'm addressing this is because some Amazon.com reviewers (including myself) have expressed dismay over buying the wrong edition. Unlike these reviewers, I am not entirely angered by this since I already have the 30th anniversary edition on DVD and that I bought the "Essentials" version just to upgrade to Blu-Ray (it also helped that it was on sale for a meager $7). But I can understand the frustrations looming in the reviews section and I wish Amazon would have notified this and state the differences.
Fonda states this explicitly ("we blew it...") and it's firmly implied in a devastatingly funny caricature of a dead beat hippy commune (as the city dropouts joyously commune with nature, scattering their seed on the barren land of the New Mexico desert, Fonda asks wryly, "do you, ah, get much rain up here?")

7115	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	This is a fair version of the Jon Krakauer book on the Everest disaster of 1996.  The characters of the climbers are much richer in the book than this film.  Of course, that's often true of any film.  However, it's the people who experienced this climb that really make the story vibrate and live.  The film takes about two steps back and puts the mountain and conditions first.
You've already got the basic story line from other folks and apparently this is a 'love it' or 'hate it' type. Maybe if you can see the movie while putting aside the game you'll have a better time. Just sit back and enjoy the story and the action. You'll do just fine.

BEHIND THE SCENES:Rankin/Bass studios was the most prolific creators of holiday specials we have ever known. After the huge success of their 1964 stop motion musical Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, they created no less than 14 more Christmas specials, from a total of 35 specials of which many covered other holidays. In 1970 audiences were eager to see what the clever studio would come up with next, their last picture had been Frosty the Snowman the year before in traditional cel animation. As much as viewers enjoyed Frosty, they really liked the stop motion "Animagic" that was the specialty of the studio. The only TV specials they made this process so far were Rudolph, and The Little Drummer Boy. The new show aired on ABC on December 14, 1970 and it was in Animagic! It was a one hour special, and it recieved huge ratings. It still airs every year.

But at the same time, it makes you have a great time just watching it. It's the guiltiest pleasure ever, just like the songs are. This movie has so many different scenes to it that are great fun watching, and some of them make you laugh out loud. Even if you want to laugh and make fun of it, you should really see it. Overall, it's fun and entertaining, and it's also worth watching.
AFO, like those Clancy-based  political-actioners, is technically pretty snazzy. But it also suffers from  a ham-fisted arrogance.  I mean, who would have thought we'd actually see a  movie where the prez himself becomes the super-dude (Bilbo Clinton would  need to cut down on the cheeseburgers, lose the gray, and run four million  laps around the White House to be up to such a task).
I got this a couple months back and I have been very impressed. For the obsessive (or just curious) there are multiple versions of the movie and you can even select to have an on-screen indication of whether or not each scene you are watching was in other versions or not. I am a bit of a purist and tend to like the theatrical version but there are good and bad things (relatively) to say about each version. In this case, you don't have to compromise...you get them all. They even include a card summarizing the different versions and their differences so you can choose before you hit 'play'.

This DVD is a rare two-for-one: if you've never seen Monty Python before, it's an exellent introduction to what is probably their best-known work.

 People not of the Christian faith may have a little more trouble losing theirselves in the plot but if so I pity them. To me watching a movie effectively comes with the ability to open your mind to the beliefs and settings of the characters, no matter how foreign or alien the situation appears to you. I can watch The Craft or another film based on pagan religion, satanism, and what not - there is no reason an athiest cannot enjoy a film speaking of Christianity in high terms. Just my opinion though. Turned off by a film by the content alone seems sad, like you lack the ability to truly "Just watch a movie". If you don't enjoy religious sub-genres at all then of course avoid. But if you enjoy some give this one a chance.
The cast is wonderful, and this film is inspirational!
Standout scenes include Jean's trial. Milla's gradual transformation of Jean from a passionate female warrior to a helpless peasant girl behind bars is done in spectacular fashion. In real life, Jean was raped repeatedly by her guards and often appeared at her court trials bleeding and totally disoriented due to her abuse. The film isn't quite so graphic in its' exploration, but it does speak of the various issues she faced behind bars. Of equal importance is how France completely sold her out, and how the country she so fondly fought for, couldn't care less about her execution.



Science fiction used to be called "science romantic" for good reason. I've found that all science fiction tends to involve a typical romance of some kind, whether it be a love for the future or a sexual relationship, but mostly it's a love and passion for new ideas that can truly change the world around you. This film does not stray from that. Even if you've seen clips of that one genetic-related scene shown on Charlie Rose 4 times, this film won't disappoint.
favorite part in that whole movie is when they meet the killer bunny.

It would be easy to put Taxi Driver down as a fairly violent drama without much soul, but the reality is Travis despite being a bit of an oddball has a heart beneath it and his one man mission to extract punishment on the "scum" of the streets is a novel twist on the vigilante take. All this wouldn't work were it not for some masterful direction from Martin Scorsese, and some very convincing acting from all the cast members esp De Niro and Foster who both have difficult roles to play.

There's a saying where movies are made for the last 20 minutes, and I would say that is true about this one too. It has a really good ending that I like a lot.

4058	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I just rented this because I was interested in seeing more movies with Julia Roberts, one of my favorite Hollywood actresses.  i think she is beautiful and really gets into her parts.  "Step Mom" is one of her best films.  I'm not really a big Susan Sarandon fan but she was good in this movie.  It revolves around the lives of the step mother conflcting with the mother from the previous marriage.  The kids in this movie help liven up the movie and unfortunately haven't been in any big name future films since.  Jackie ends up getting cancer later in the movie which will bring tears to your eyes in some scenes.  Isabel (Julia Roberts) is pretty much an artsy photographer who is considered "hip" by Jackie, the mother of the children.  They have to put up with Isabel's poor motherhood instincts like accidentally "losing" one of the children in one scene.  Later in the movie you grow to like both mothers.  Even the father Luke gets likeable later in the movie as his character becomes more real.  The cast of the movie is pretty talented.  This is one of the better films Julia Roberts has been in.  While "The Pelican Brief" is my all-time favorite of hers, "Stepmom" is still worth watching even though it's an older movie.  Warning: if you're emotional be sure to bring some tissues with you while watching it.  Definately worth the price.

This is a great film for anyone who has yawned their way through a world history class in high-school or college.  It brings a slanted and hilarious version of history to life in a way that only the men of Monty Python can.

Instead of Paul directing the sequel, the reins are given to Alexander Witt, a long-time second unit director but first time head director. He sometimes has a tendency to have the fast editing syndrome that plagues a director like Michael Bay with fast shots. This makes the fight with Alice and the Nemesis kind of weird too watch cause he's so damn slow yet it's shot like he's going Bruce Lee on her.

De Niro's Bickle is a Vietnam veteran suffering from insomnia. He takes a job as a cab driver to work nights, driving through the most dangerous New York neighborhoods for fares. He becomes infatuated with a beautiful woman (Cybill Shepherd) who works at the campaign office of Palantine. Bickle takes the woman to a porno theater on their first date, and she dumps him immediately. To no one's surprise, Bickle soon begins to stalk her. He purchases a deadly arsenal of hand guns and intensely works out in preparation for his assassination of Palantine (and most likely the woman too). Along the way, Bickle stumbles across a 12-year old prostitute (Foster) whom he befriends. His attempted assassination fails and he walks over to the prostitute's home and kills her pimp (Harvey Keitel), landlord and an unlucky gangster. "Taxi Driver" unbelievably ends with the prostitute having been returned to her parents and Bickle becoming an inner-city folk hero. Shepherd's character tries to make a date with Bickle, but he's now at peace with the inferno around him and drives on disinterested.
Daryl Hannah is good in this one too. Cute little love story.....
"Resident Evil" tells the story of a woman who had been rescued from a virus infested research center. She awakens later on, she has forgotten everything. After that, a military team takes her and brings her back in the research facility, when the effects of the virus are no longer contagious. They find that the release of the deadly virus was a conspiracy. But there are many problems on their way; some almost invincible zombies, a main system (which takes the aspect of a little girl) that wants to kill every intruder, and a security system that turns against them.
481	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	This film is closer to the Biblical text of this account, than any we've yet seen....it's very emotional and very encouraging as well.  Long film, but not too long!  The only real problem (meaning unacceptable) is the bath-tub scene with Joseph.  He's seen from waist up, in a pool relazing/bathing, and in comes his boss's wife who's been after him sexually.  Potiphar's wife seductively rubs up and down his chest, until (WITH MUSIC AND SOUND EFFECTS GOING ALONG WITH THE SEDUCTIVITY) she goes down into the water below his waist and connects with his genitals (yes, for real).  Both Joseph and her are shown to react to the moment ever so...."slightly" and then she leaves him alone until the next time she confronts him.  We had this film for YEARS and thought how awesomely Biblical (compared to any other film) this movie was, but never noticed this part until this year.  Why?  because we had younger children at the time, and so the inferred sexual tension of her rubbing his shoulders over the bath-tub/pool was something we'd simply pass by w/ the fast-fwd button a mere several seconds.  We didn't do that this year, and WHOOOAH!!  We were SHOCKED at what transpired in those few moments.  They don't show below the water, but they PLAY UP the moment big time to let you know what is happening.  For this reason, i say DON'T BUY THE MOVIE unless you can edit it.  If i had this film on VCR, i'd simply tab the "edit" tab on the VCR tape and i'd record a whole minute or two over that one moment (which wouldn't hurt a 3-plus hour long film!).

In adapting Pat Conroy's bestselling 1986 novel for the screen, Streisand has shifted the emphasis from the toxic Wingo family to the brief love affair between Tom and Dr. Lowenstein. Nonetheless, the film does convey the ways in which we are deeply shaped and influenced by our families. Best of all, The Prince of Tides proclaims the value of coming to terms with past pain as a way to reclaim our lives.
The effects are quite good, as are the atmosphere and musical score.  The film's only drawback is that it is sometimes directed with a heavy hand, and spends too much time on the juvenilia of Charlie and his friends  -  though the latter works to good effect, in the sense that it makes them very believable high schoolers, hardly up to facing the menace of an experienced and supernaturally powerful killer.

Just to clear up on this DVD set, it includes the original theatrical version, the ultimate version and the directors cut version.
The movie picks up where the predecessor left off, with a silly dream sequence that seems to belong in a comedy spoof of these films instead of here. Julie apparently has been haunted by these dreams for many months since her last encounter with the killer from the first film, Ben Willis, who fell off the boat in the end of the movie and was never seen again. Until now, but more happens before then. Julie's best friend, Carla, wins a trip to the Bahamas by answering incorrectly to the question requiring the capital of Brazil. Of course, given the mentality of this film, I wouldn't expect too many people to know the right answer, and I guess the filmmakers were counting on that, too.

As well as having an excellent plot that keeps both the mind and eye stimualted, the quality of the acting and special effects used make a major contribution to the film. Any movie which features a household name such as Harrison Ford usually guarantees acting of the highest quality and Air Force One is no exception. Ford maintains his reputation as being a top class yet versatile actor in a career that has seen his roles range from playing an outer space cowboy through to an adventurer in the deepest jungle. Although not in the same league as the Indiana Jones or Starwars trilogy.

The filmmakers cannibalize in typical Hollywood fashion every neat idea from all the other skyjacking thrillers. Generally, "Air Force One" follows the formula of the Kurt Russell hit "Executive Decision." Both movies start with a commando raid and then shift to terrorists hijacking a jetliner before an unconventional hero makes his entry. You can tell that Marlow evidently watch the Wesley Snipes thriller "Passenger 57" for one scene. Another scene features a stunt that appeared in both "Airport 75" and "Cliffhanger." The president here imitates the action heroes from the Bruce Willis "Die Hard" franchise and the Steven Seagal "Under Siege" movies. Finally, the "Air Force One" ending should come as no surprise to any "Star Trek" movie veterans. Anybody who thrives on movies like an insomniac will spot these plot elements. Although "Air Force One" borrows heavily from other epics, the staging of the action and some new scenes in the skyjacking formula boost this opus over the rough spots.

The action and suspense is incredible! There were a few times I actually caught myself holding my breath as they made there way through the hive in the first one. The actors all reallly went full throttle with this one. The dialogue, although a little bland at times, feels really genuine coming from the actors.

Some scenes did remind me of Die Hard, but if you liked Die Hard you will love this movie. My wife was watching the movie with me and kept digging her hand into my arm!

9285	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Of all the films and television programs produced by airborne members of the Flying Circus, I consider this to be their greatest achievement. Co-authored and then co-directed Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones (two rather silly people indeed), this film makes at least some effort to recreate a distant period in history and from a somewhat 20th century perspective. Apparently available funds were limited because Gilliam and Junes could not afford to rent horses and thus were forced to simulate them with body language and coconut half shells. Also, various members of the Ye Olde Merrie Companie were required to play several different roles...on occasion at the same time. For example, Graham Chapman as King Arthur as well as (or as unwell as) the Three-Headed Knight and the Hiccoughing Guard. Eric Idle ia also actively involved as Sir Robin, Maynard, Roger, a Guard, and the Historian Who Isn't A.J.P. Taylor...plus some other stuff my limited space precludes noting. One of Gilliam and Jones's cleverest strategies is to juxtapose 6th century Breton with 20th century England. Actually, not only juxtapose them but to have the former and latter interact without prior warning. Yes, this creates some confusion but the plot lags on fewer occasions and younger persons in the audience will feel more at home.

The film opens with shock jock Jack Lucas verbally attacking a man to the point where he takes a loaded shotgun into a bar, opens fire and then kills himself.  Emotionally devastated by the act, Jack turns into a reclusive shell of a man, resorting to alcohol and basically living off of his girlfriend, Anne.  After a night of drinking, Jack finds himself at the mercy of some thugs who think he is homeless only to have his life saved by a crazy man named Parry who happens to think he is a knight on a mission from God to find the Holy Grail.  Jack soon learns that Parry is the widower of one of the victims in the bar shooting.  Feeling almost obligated to make things right, Jack follows Parry around, looking for ways to help restore his sanity.

It seems my main complaint with the first movie, that it didn't have anything to do with the characters or events or the game, were taken care of in the sequel. Jill Valentie (Sienna Guilloy) makes her big screen debut as she bursts onto the screen as one of the bad-ass gunslinging heroines. She doesn't seem very much like the Jill from the RE games, but she dresses and looks very similar to her. My only question left would be, Where's Chris? Instead of Chris we get Carlos (Oded Fehr) who's an alright character. Doesn't seem to really stand out or be that special though. All the questions from the first movie are also effectively answered in the second. The T-Virus has broken out into Raccoon city, and now it's citizens are in mass paranoia. Umbrella has to contain the incident by isolating the virus or destroying the city. Alice (Milla Jovovich) the heroine from the last movie awakes in the lab where we saw her in the last movie. She then removes the cords from her body and walks out into the street and grabs a shotgun from a crashed police car (much like in the ending of the last movie). Alice ends up coming into contact with Jill and some others during her quest to get out of the city. Eventually the programmer of the T-Virus, Dr. Ashford, calls Alice and Jill and makes a deal with them that if they can get his daughter from the Junior High, he will help them escape. This is where the movie really surprised me, because I guess my brain just didn't make the connection between Ashford and the first movie. I mean he's not even in it. But we all remember the little red girl who was the image of the computer in the first movie? Well guess who doctor Ashford's daughter is? It's quite surprising to see her in real life, but as soon as I heard her talk, my brain mad the connection. So now you have some background knowledge, so that you will catch that. The main villian of the movie is Nemesis. If you've seen the last movie you remember at the end where Matt and Alice are coming out of the mansion and then a group of umbrella workers surround them. They see Matt mutating and then say "Put him in the Nemesis program". Much of the movie has to do with Alice remembering Matt, and now seeing him as Nemesis. You'll quickly learn that Alice and Nemesis have ultimately been programmed to fight eachother, and see who is the greater power. Perhaps the funniest part of the entire movie though is the black pimp guy. Sorry I don't know his name, but you'll know him when you see him. The things he says are just hilarious, and it's no wonder that they keep him around the whole movie, like when a stars officer trys to hand him a gun and opens his jacket to show to custom made golden guns, and he says all his stuff is custom. The movie once again had a very interesting story, and even more action than the first, which will appeal to all of you who liked the fight scenes in the first. The ending though is another cliff-hanger, because it's ending leaves a question that has to be answered.


Now back to the movie--yep, you heard me, it has its flaws. Alice is the head of security at a top-secret base miles underground called "the Hive", a secret, high-tech facility owned and operated by the Umbrella Corporation. The scientists there specialize in bioengineering and viral weaponry; and one morning their T-Virus, a virus which revitalizes dead cells and has it's side effects, is unleashed on the unsuspecting workers there. Now a team of highly elite trained officers must infiltrate the Hive and find out what went on down there. They stumble upon Alice who can't recall who is she and what she is doing there; they bring her along anyway. They open the Hive, and almost immediately stumble upon the dangers in there...Did I mention the "side effects" that may occur are A: death, B: waking up again after dying, due to the virus revitalizing dead cells--there for reviving you, and C: after you wake up, you want to eat something, namely, people. And that means that our people down in the Hive are in serious trouble.
At any rate, this is a movie you should definitely watch if you haven't already, and if you have, watch it again. What a wonderful slice of life, drama and delectable humor!
Even though the aforementioned battles and action scenes are riveting, the best thing about the fim is the cerebral undercurrent.  Does the Dustin Hoffman character represent the Devil, God, something strictly inside Joan's head, or all three?  The interplay between these two is intriguing, as are the trial sequences, which were often lifted from the actual historical texts.

Okay, in this type of film viewers know from the beginning that the good guys are going to win and the bad guys are going to lose, badly, but not before lots of people die. But, while somewhat predictable, and highly implausible, this is still a good thriller, with plenty of edge of your seat chills. There's just enough twist on the action adventure formula to keep the viewer from guessing what will happen next.

5374	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	I am amazed that this film gets so many positive reviews. I love horror films, and I want them to be scary, frightening, etc. I'm not a big fan of the horror comedy genre. There are a few good ones. But, this is not one of them. This is simply a bad comedy, and there are no real jokes here -- just kind of "stupid comedy": the characters constantly simply act stupidly, and that is supposed to be funny. There is nothing clever here. There is no believable character, with the exception of Roddy MacDowell. He is the one saving grace, and his professional acting ability shines way above the rest. He is playing a comically "reluctant" vampire killer, who doesn't really believe in vampires but plays a vampire killer in his films and on TV. Now he has to actually kill a vampire, after he finally comes to believe they are real. Thankfully, Roddy MacDowall is in this film. But the plot, the other actors, the "jokes" are really bad. The special effects are mostly consisting of "melting faces", and were done on the cheap. Good special effects for the time and for a low budget -- but, not very good for scaring the audience. At the time this was made (1985) perhaps it deserved good reviews as a send-up of horror films. But, it really does not stand the test of time, in my opinion.

This is the kind of movie where you get SO envolved in it that when it's over, you're just sitting there thinking 'man, that was just...WOW.' I was so shocked that it was so GOOD. I mean, when alot of people go to see a movie based on a game, they basically think 'you just wait, this is gonna be corny with no real plot.' Well, I THINK NOT! Of course, you know there's gonna be alot of critics out there that are going to terribly underrate RESIDENT EVIL. Take my advice, DO NOT LISTEN TO THEIR [comments]. I am so fed up with critics! What do they know? When YOU see a movie, YOU judge if YOU like it or not. EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT TASTES IN WHAT MOVIES THEY LIKE. Ok, enough said about that.
I do agree with some of the reviewers who claim that even though Mercedes Ruehl won an Oscar for her role as Jack's girlfriend, everyone should have been nominated for a Golden Boy. It also should have won Best Picture. Jeff Bridges is remarkable. Michael Jeter is funny as hell. Amanda Plummer is perfect. And next to AWAKENINGS and THE DEAD POETS SOCIETY, this is truely one of Robin Williams' greatest dramatic roles.
 So finely, this movie does get a star because the location shots are not bad. And you have to enjoy the only opportunity to see a deeply respected actor(Connery), make a fool of himself in a gigiant bear suit. Other than that, if you really must find out how bad this is...rent it!

Dracula is suave and seductive; one could imagine wanting to be bitten by him, and there's a surprisingly erotic scene in a disco of all places. Roddy McDowall plays the part of a late-night television horror film emcee, and he adds a nice touch as he haplessly helps his young friends defeat Dracula with his "vampire kit." This is a good film to sink your teeth into.

It is funny and thoughtful and about life and how we live it to its fullest everyday. DVD features include a really good featurette and not so good commentary by the director Herbert Ross.  He gives a bit of unique information as you are watching the movie, but there are long periods where he doesn't say anything at all.
 Definitely this is a sweet little movie. Recommendable for indie films lovers.

The other great parts of this film are some of the supporting actors. Fisher Stevens is hilarious as Kate's roofer husband who can't believe his wife is in "It-ly" as he pronounces the ever so romantic country. People also neglect mentioning Giovanni (Joaquim De Almeida), the man who tries to woo the married Kate (Bonnie Hudson). He does the perfect foreign playboy role. And, of course, you've got Billy Zane in the cast to mix things up.

You would think that a movie of this caliber, with such a climactic and intense ending, would lose it's power to leave you staring at the screen in awe, but it doesn't.

which was the 4k remaster transfer supervised by Martin scorsese himself

In this story, Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss), an Indiana electric utility company worker and family man, experiences a close encounter of the first kind one night while investigating a power outage. He sees something extraordinary that scares the wits out of him and also leaves him with an encounter of the second kind (a partial sunburn) and disturbs him so severely that it eventually estranges his wife Ronnie (Teri Garr) and his children. But the episode also endears him to Jillian Guiler (Melinda Dillon), a similarly tormented, single mother whose son (played amazingly well by four-year-old Cary Guffey) has been kidnapped, presumably by the aliens. While Neary tries desperately to figure out what is going on, in another part of the country a secret team led by French scientist Claude Lacombe (the great movie director Francois Truffaut) is investigating the recent strange occurrences, and the efforts eventually draw everyone involved to a climactic meeting at a most distinctive geographic landmark. Spielberg orchestrated that climax with so much visceral power that I once saw a fellow moviegoer weeping uncontrollably after the house lights came back up.

The Hive is an underground facility owned by Umbrella Corp., an orginazation that specializes in bio-chemical products.  Little does anyone know, but someone has tried to steal a secret formula that bring on the end of the world as we know it.  In doing so, they have set loose a chemical that keeps the dead alive and truns them in monsters who only crave one thing, human flesh.  Alice and her group must infiltrate the hive, and find the red queen, a computer that controls everything in the hive, and find out what caused her to go crazy and kill everyone.  In doing so, they endanger their own lives because they must let loose all of the flesh eating zombies to get the hard drive that holds the red queen.

I really love this series. It's a real treasure.
The film will probably gain some sort of cult status based purely on Sean Connery's over-the-top yet terrible performance. I thought that his efforts came across as way too forced and I've always wondered if he did this movie just to pay some back-taxes or a sizable poker debt. He's been in some bad movies before, but he's still managed to turn in a solid performance (Medicine Man and Entrapment for instance). But in this movie, he's just awful in every respect.
I will admit that I think the film could've been a little better in parts, I have a feeling that there are many deleted scenes from this film, and this is something that is simply begging for a Director's Cut Special Edition.

From a philosophical perspective, one might argue that though the setting is in the future, the vision of the created society is quite ancient. In this movie only the most powerful leaders making the most influential decisions are the so-called "gifted", which is idealistically a mirror of Plato's Republic. So from a structured standpoint, Gattaca is the culmination of ideas or ideals established from the most highly esteemed of the ancient Greeks; however, it is also blended in with the modern day science of genetic engineering, where a perfect society must be run by perfect people, most of whom are products or byproducts of the scientific wonders of those who have determined what constitutes the attainment of human perfection.

I have a cousin who actually did the same thing once. He was even younger than me when he did it. My cousin, George, actually made it all the way to Alaska, and then Hawaii, and then Europe as well. He went all around the world. When he reached Alaska, he hooked up with some of his old friends from Dunstable, Massachusetts who had also moved up there to make money working on the pipeline and on fishing boats. He found work up there for a while, too, just like some of the characters in these three films. They worked along the way to help to make their journey. George ended up finding his friend, Jim Lavrakas, a famous photographer today for the Anchorage Daily News in Alaska. Ernesto and Alberto worked in a Leper Colony for a while in Peru. Christopher McCandless worked out in the fields cutting grain for a while to help pay his way. I have a good friend named Phil who actually did do what I had once intended on doing myself. He worked his butt off for years, saved a bunch of cash, and bought himself 25 acres of land up in Maine where he lives off the grid out in the woods as an independent, organic farmer and orchard grower. He says he did it to be able to live like a free man out on the land away from all of the social evils and urban ugliness of the city. He also wanted to be free and independent of his family, like Chris in INTO THE WILD. He did it. I guess I was too much of a homebody and a Hobbit to live alone all by myself out in the woods somewhere where no one knew me. It takes courage to live alone like Thoreau out in the wild. You need guts to do this kind of stuff. I know that one reason why I returned back home from my meager attempt at wandering through the woods was that I really missed music. I am a musician. There is no way to jam with other people and enjoy music and dance when you live alone out in the woods. It is impossible. Nevertheless, till this day, the TV series that ran in the early nineties about life up in a small town called Cicely, Alaska - NORTHERN EXPOSURE - is still my all-time, favorite television program. It had colorful characters. I guess some romantic ideas die hard.

The most obvious problem when adapting a novel is that the screenplay can include only a fraction of the material. The more characters included in the adaptation, the more shallow the character development. This is one of "Girl's" most obvious flaws as there is little reason to connect or care about any of the supporting characters, their quirks exist but we receive no background information so we can never understand why. There is Rebecca (Summer Phoenix) - a big-time grunge music fan who rambles on constantly about music trivia and sex. Rebecca gets the movie's best lines. There is Darcy (Selma Blair) - a walking eating disorder who is supposed to be Andrea's best friend although all they choose to showcase is her resentment of Andrea. There is Cybil (Tara Reid) - A nihilist grunge rocker with a bad home life and a lust for Andrea. Despite Tara Reid being shockingly good in this role (by far her best performance ever) the part is so poorly written and false that it should have omitted from the screenplay. There are Kevin (Channon Roe) & Richard (Christopher Masterson) - class geeks who appear in the school cafeteria as part of Cybil's band and seem to have otherwise been omitted from the screenplay. Finally there is Todd (Sean Patrick Flannery) who is Andrea's main love interest and seems embarrassed about even being associated with this movie-he and Swain have no chemistry and seem genuinely uncomfortable together.

During the first season, I was only getting a rare chuckle, if that, out of the episodes, and I was wondering if I had made a mistake in purchasing the complete series.  Fortunately, seasons 2-5 were better, and I was getting chuckles and sometimes laughing out loud at the episodes.  The introduction of the character known as "The Peeper" was, for me, a misstep, because he was too over-the-top silly to be amusing.

Blu-ray Audio Quality  The Pal Joey soundtrack is offered in two mixes, English: 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio and an Isolated Music: 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio Mono. Fidelity here is quite good, but it must also be stated for the record that some of the dubbed singing sounds noticeably boxier than the bulk of the soundtrack and listen especially to the women in the opening "Rainbow" production number for a very good example. The 5.1 mix isn't overly immersive, but the music is opened up rather nicely in this mix, and occasionally some ambient environmental sound effects will dot the surrounds, adding a bit of spaciousness to the proceedings. The music sounds spectacular for the most part, and Sinatra's voice is magnificent, reproduced with its entire slightly aged lustre.

The movie acknowledges that the genes make the man (or woman), but points out that it takes a lot more than just genes. Jerome, one of the genetic elite, is physically and spirtually crippled by accident. His golden genes don't do him a lot of good. Vincent has the flaws we would call "the human condition," unacceptable in his world, but personal drive and determination to overcome almost any obstacle. In an elaborate ruse, Vincent presents Jerome's genetic identity as his qualification to enter the highest echelons of achievement.

Series three covers the period from 1912 to the start of WWI.

9534	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	The first 30 minutes or so of Gattaca are pretty great. We're introduced to a not-so-distant (and relatively plausible) future world where "natural" birth is performed in vitro under the guidance of geneticists who carefully engineer/select the most genetically gifted and healthy zygote. From birth, people are identified and defined entirely by their genetic makeup and the diseases to which they are or are not predisposed. The film does a really great job of exploring the philosophical, moral, and legal implications of such a society, and the resultant discrimination that "invalids" - those who are born in vivo - face both in their health insurance and job prospects. There's also a nice underlying message that is touched upon: often times the best person for a job may not be the absolute smartest or healthiest candidate, but the one who is the most passionate about the work.
The grand finale begins immediately after Neary and Jillian show up.  The first few scout ships, pass right by them, before going to the landing area and then signaling to the other ships.  The film therefore does pose the question whether the final encounter (especially of the third kind) would have taken place at all if none of those 'invited' had actually arrived.  Perhaps the aliens would have suspected something was wrong or that humanity just wasn't ready.

The points where I would focus a little more are two very important elements in the "Resident Evil" video games. Like I said before, originally, these games were moody and gory. Two major deceptions here. The gore...ARGH! I just can't take it, it's made by computer! This is a message to all directors: If you want to put any gore in your films, do it the old fashioned way. Digital blood looks fake, digital monsters look fake...Even with some very cheap gore/creature effects, you can do a better job than the one they did in "Resident Evil"...the same thing is true in Blade...Every single mutilation in "Resident Evil" was made in CGI, and every single one of them really looks bad. (Spoilers) There's a part where more than half a dozen soldiers are cut in pieces by lasers (and it really deceived me to see that three quarters of the human characters die in two minutes...human characters were the only hope of seeing a gore scene in this film, because the zombies in this film have coagulated blood, which is, for sure, realistic and intelligent, but absolutely not satisfying for the gore fans) and some heads are cut off, some bodies are cut in cubes. But every darn death looks so fake! Even in the excellent low-budget Canadian movie "Cube", the effect with the guy that gets sliced into dices is really, really, really, really, a thousand times better than all of "Resident Evil"'s reunited gore moments. I'm sick of CGI gore...and all CGI made movies...this is removing all the human aspects of movies...people are amazed to see things that were made with computers and almost look real...Yeah, they almost look real, but if they were done like before, they would look even more real! Well, what is the point of being impressed with things that could be a lot more simple and look better if they were done like before...It's not because technology exists that films should overuse it...Technology is a tool, and many film makers don't understand it.

Even so, the drama and action are good.
The director(s) commentary (Terrys Jones & Gilliam) is good, but a little too much time is spent on "the history of Monty Python" for my tastes -- I would have liked a little more about the film and a little less about stuff that is available in a couple dozen books and tv interviews.  The other commentary track is also uneven, but with spots of true brilliance.  Imagine three Pythons deciding to pull the MST3K treatment on their own film and you get the idea.  The mini-features on scouting locations, on how to use a cocoanut, the sing-alongs, the Lego-vision (yes, as in Legos, those snap together bricks), and how-to-walk-like-a-monk-hitting-his-head-with-a-board are quite funny.

I was nearly scared away by all the chick-friendly marketing, but I persisted---and happily, I found this little romp in the cemetery to be sick, twisted, and totally freakish. Seth Green (Anton's slacker buddy Mick) gets to spend some up-close-and-personal cranial quality time with a beer bottle (local brew). Buddy Pnub (the hysterical and eminently blase Eldon Henson) loses his head and sees his social life improve---albeit with a little duct tape and a garden trowel. Dexter (lead singer of Offspring, who does a killer cover of the Ramones "I wanna be Sedated") gets scalped by an evil possessed right hand (played, admirably and with great dramatic restraint, by Christopher Hart, who plays hands and nothing else.

3691	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	This is the clearest, sharpest and most colorful transfer to Blu-Ray DVD I have ever watched! This film was made in 1977, prior to the well explored theme of government conspiracies with evil aliens intent on colonizing Earth. Earlier and later sci-fi films (with the exception of E.T.) have generally attributed much less benign motives to space aliens.

Yet Resident Evil has reinvented the zombie genre for a new audience of moviegoers. The purists can say whatever they want to say in retrospect of their zombie films of the 70's. Please remember we are in the year 2004, and today's zombie flicks contain some of our current event themes.

I believe fear rarely serves the human race. Certainly, fear has its place if a rhino is charging at you in the jungle. But if all human behavior is dictated by fear rather than a child-like wonder, we will miss out on some of the best of human experience, which I think may be Spielberg's point. The encounters and the close encounter of the third kind are only possible when human beings tear down the walls, throw down the barriers, and build bridges to the unknown. Certainly the unknown may be filled with snakes. But it could be filled with treasure also. The child risks falling by walking on two legs. Maybe adults should learn to do the same. Are we going to be a species who continually hides under the bed in the face of the unknown, or are we going to be the little boy who opens the door into the world of unknown wonders?

The premise: ex-Soviet dissidents hijack Air Force One in revenge for the President's crackdown on terrorism and terrorist regimes.  Gary Oldman plays an excellent terrorist, and Harrison Ford's President is the kind of hands-on hero that would prompt a repeal of the 22nd Amendment (for those unsavvy of the Constitution, that's the one that limits Presidents to two terms).

As far as accuracy on climbing details, there were some irritations - climbers not wearing goggles at times (when even a few minutes exposure could result in snow blindness) or gloves.  Of course an actor covered in mask and goggles can be hard to discern one from the other.  And don't think you'll see the Himalaya here,  this was filmed in the alps.

It's a shame - because, from here, THE MESSENGER actually could very well have become a movie of remarkable depth, voice and vision.
1295	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	I used to watch the show as teen and would catch it on A&E when it used to come on. Sure it was campy but it was fun to watch. This movie is no such luck. It was doomed from the minute the director screamed action. The whole plot involves some asinine scheme by August De Wynter(played by Sean Connery) to control the world weather. The British secret service assign Emma Peel(Uma Thurman) and John Steed(Ralph Fiennes) to the case. The story also involves plot twist where one of the head of the secret service(affectionately called "Mother") is in cahoots with Sir Wynter. When you're not laughing at the cheesy dialogue, you cracking up at the hackneyed fight scenes and the overacting by Sean Connery, who seems to have more fun chewing up scenery even though he advised people not to watch it. The chemistry between Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman is non-existent. The mechanical bees and the teddy bear costumes...nice. This movie wasn't pre-screened for a reason and Sean Connery did warn people not to see this movie. You can put two and two together and see the outcome. People overact like its going out of style, the humor is on par with those Roger Moore James Bond flicks and the premise is pretty juvenile. If you liked the show you'll hate the movie.
In his most powerful role ever, Harrison Ford is the President of the United States in the must-see blockbuster action thriller of the year......AIR FORCE ONE!

Unless the country's imprisoned dictator is freed, Korshunov will start killing passengers. Now the most protected man in the world must take responsibility for the safety of all on board and the future free world! With high-stakes action and suspense, and featuring Glenn Close as Vice President, AIR FORCE ONE is sky-high thrills at full speed!

His portrayal of the subtle changes his character goes through throughout the movie, from child like enthusiasm, to outright obsession, is spot on.  Francois Truffaut also puts in an outstanding performance.  This is the movie that established Spielberg's kind of "awe/woundrous" style of filmaking.

Three men are sitting in their car outside a bookstore, pre-robbery.  Dignan (Owen) and Anthony (Luke Wilson) put white tape across the bridges of their noses.  Bob (Robert Musgrave), the get-away driver, innocently asks, "Why is there tape on your nose?"  Dignan, with a devilish grin stretching from ear to ear, excitedly replies, "Exactly!"  It's typical for Anderson/Wilson characters to not fully understand the reason for their actions (or if they do, never tell the audience), while knowing that, like sharks, if they stop moving they will die.

Us ladies should always band together in support each other like these ladies did instead of bitching about one another. I still cannot fathom Sally Field with a sourthern accent but she does make her role believable. There is a surprise ending although it is very sad in its own way. Olympia Dukakis is exceptional in that she tries to make others laugh in a sad situation. Either way, the plot indicates that us females can and will support each other in times of every tough crisis possible. The actual author who made the play that this movie is based on also has a sad story in that the play and this movie was based on his sister's illness and ultimate death. He does appear in this movie as the pastor in the beginning of the movie when Shelby is married to Jackson; and again serves as the pastor at the cemetery. If you want to be cheered up and to be shown that life truly continues then this movie will make a whole lot happier. It does for me!  :-)

Not to be missed--in fact, this could even be sold as a stand alone 5 minute video--is the scene where they cross the state line to buy booze. That short scene is worth the entire price of the movie. Don't miss it.

4088	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This five-hanky "women's picture" was unfairly shut out of the Oscar race a few years back.  It features a mostly terrific -- and consciously sentimental -- screenplay that allows its two stars, Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon, to cover new territory as actresses.  The biting, realistic dialog between two strong, competitive women resonates with the ring of truth.  The children in the movie shine throughout, and Ed Harris is, as usual, appealing, masculine, bringing gravity to his role as the man in the middle.  The Christmas settings, the snowfalls, the terminal illness, and the classic song "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" all combine to produce more than a few well-earned tears, none more so than in the final ten minutes. Chris Columbus, the director, allows delicate, and sometimes not so delicate, humor, to ease the real pain of many of these well-wraught scenes.  The Hollywood gloss notwithstanding, this is one of those human, heartfelt explorations into some unchartered territory.  If you love movies you can cry with, you'll love Stepmom.

Sheffer and Pitt don't resemble each other in reality, but they really seem like REAL brothers with a love-hate sibling rivalry that never boils over into anything absurd. The way they play off each other is great. The MacLean family scenes are so inviting and authentic that it's unreal! When watching them, I almost felt discomfort at times that I felt like I was spying on them. I would wager that many parents can relate to this family's situation...The Reverend MacLean worrying about his 2 sons' future and Mrs. MacLean just plain WORRYING! And Norman and Jesse's relationship is sweet and understated. The film also dares to subtly tackle issues such as racism (the Indian girl that Paul brings on a double-date with Norman and Jesse) as well and to realistically show the seamier, seedier side of Paul's life (gambling halls and brothels).
So, yes this is a good movie, but it is meant for teens and men 20-45, not women like this idiot named Claudia Puig.
I can understand how the 1978 film caused a bit of controversy. But, knowing Oliver Stone, he was making a very serious point about how Turkish society can be very brutal and how its government and people can be so inhumane. Granted Stone may have taken a few liberties on Billy Hayes' true story, but he ultimately got the point across about how the Turkish deal with prisoners and how inhumane their laws really are. Obviously, the film cut right to the bone and struck a lot of nerves in the Turkish people. The only reason they were offended and had the film banned was because the truth about Turkey came out into the open, and really hurt them. If they were not so barbaric against foreign prisoners, such secrets would not have been exposed.

It's interesting to see the kids in the video, who are all great performers, by the way... while the clothes are clearly from 1995 (i guessed 1994), the production, song choices and approach are 100% timeless. This video does not show its age. It's that good.

An Italian production by the Paulines, with writer/director Alberto Castellani and cinematographer/director Giancarlo Cappellano, it takes us through the significant sites in the Holy Land, and also blends in exquisite works of art, from masters like Duccio and his contemporaries, and iconic treasures of Greek and Russian origin.

OK, enough of what didn't work. On the plus side, Milla Jovovich has proven herself to be one of the few genuinely talented model-turned-actresses, and gives a great performance. I was kind of disappointed in Michelle Rodriguez's acting, mainly because she was so good in Girlfight, but she was acceptable and at least can really look like a badass. There's quite a few fun--and sick--shots. There were plot twists that I actually didn't see coming--sorry to say, I could see most of the jumps walking up 5th Avenue-- and the plot was a lot more brutal and downbeat than I expected (for a movie based on a video game, and for a modern zombie movie, anyway)--good for them. They did definitely outright steal some ideas from Dawn of the Dead (and, as everybody has already probably pointed out, Cube) but at least had some originality by putting a slightly new twist on them. There was a much higher body count than I thought (not counting all the zombie employees, of course, I mean among the heroes), most of which was pretty b-llsy. Characters did not die in the order I expected them to. Things got pretty cold-blooded (so to speak).

But before we get to the end resolve of the non-essential mystery of the movie and the surprise ending (someone was killed at a space launch site, but who could it have been, and why?) we are treated to a pretty prescient story about how society had modernized after carefully controlling the genetics of children at birth.  Life expectancy is up, productivity is up, currency for the genetically superior population is up, as are other character traits such as intelligence, mental acuity and alacrity, physical conditioning and beauty while certain other non-desirable traits are down or removed such as anti-social personality and hostility, tendency toward violence and uncontrolled emotions, etc.  In short the world of Gattaca is supposedly moving toward a manmade utopian ideal but the lower classes, those persons (usually older) who were borne of natural circumstances with all the variables that come along with the unknown and unpredictability within human nature, are the menial servant class.  Their dreams are restricted; their lives are limited.

What's most disturbing about Travis Bickle  is the way that we almost understand his actions in this film: he's so  lonely and isolated that he's locked away from the rest of the world,  letting his obsessions drive him to the boiling point. Scorsese's film  style is remarkable and utterly hypnotic: there are scenes in this film I  find my self watching over and over again, as the soft voices, silence, and  tension lock my eyes to the screen and put me into a trance. The scene  where Travis puts his weapons together, in particular, is so magnetic that  it simply grabs you and will not let you go.
Every well educated, well informed person in the USA should watch this movie, because it will allow them to visualize all the bad things that drag down all of us.

9864	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Many people spend their lives searching for their place in life, and many movies are made that deal with this theme; examples include "The Majestic", "As Good as it Gets", "Lost in Translation" and "X-Men".  But what about the exact opposite, what about those who know for certain their place in life and are not happy with it?  This is the central underlying theme in this movie.  It is the future, and mankind has progressed to the point where genetic engineering of newborns is a common practice.  Some kids are born naturally without any genetic improvements, and have set limits and expectations for their life.  These are known as "invalids".  Others are born with genetic improvements, and they are born into a different life with different limits and expectations; usually higher.  These are "valids".  This movie is about both individuals, brothers really.  One is a Valid and rises high within the ranks of Gattaca, a futuristic corporation that sends people to space.  The other is an "Invalid, and being unhappy with his fate, uses his wit and the friendship of a thoughtful Valid to rise even higher.  Their fates intertwine at the very end in a triumph of the human spirit over predisposed social constraints.  The movie moves briskly but not too quickly.  The dialogue is quite sharp and natural.  The personal relationships are well-thought out.  And Jude Law is probably in his best role as an actor.  All told, a great movie and worth the time to watch.  Premiering in the mid 1990's, it touches on many of the themes now surfacing in the era of biotech and genetic engineering.

The story digs deep enough into the science to show the biotech driven Big Brother society we could grow into if we are not careful without overloading those who aren't interested in that sort of thing. There is also a good romantic side story involving Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman. The entire cast is excellent with a breakout performance by Jude Law.

Jackie and Luke are divorced, which is emotionally taxing on their two children, Anna and Ben, Anna refusing to accept the fact that her parents are never getting back together again. Ben is too young to understand much of what is going on; he merely aides Anna in making Luke's girlfriend, Isabel, completely miserable. This includes hounding her for unwashed laundry, putting down her lunches, and just about anything they can to make it look like they have been treated with less care than they would under their mother. The movie's setup of these relationships between different characters is well-done, keeping its focus on the children's actions and their feelings on the situations they are put into.

Countered to this inbred "fear" is also the capacity to engage in wonder. Human beings are also infinitely curious, and our curiosity stems from a child-like desire of wanting to know, to understand, and even to touch that which may be different. Fear and wonder are very incompatible bedfellows which reside in each of us. It is a constant challenge for the human race to decide which emotion will have its say in terms of behavior: wonder or fear. Fear is about anger, stereotypes, barriers, burning bridges, and making war. Wonder is about happiness, trust, letting go, being curious, and being vulnerable; it may be ultimately linked to those emotions associated with love. In the brilliant SF film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", Spielberg and co. explore how these two opposing views clash in the midst of our "third" encounter with aliens from outer space.

Slater and Danny must join forces and travel back and stop him at all costs before it'll be the end of Jack Slater.

Equally unsettling is the storming of her elite home, where she, along with Eric Mabius, is taken into an underground cavern through a hidden door in her home, and transported by rail to the Hive.

"Midnight Express" is a Seventies classic--it was nominated for six Academy Awards and won two, and its soundtrack produced a Top 40 hit, Giorgio Moroder's "Chase."  The DVD set for this unforgettable film comes with a booklet that discusses the production of the movie, and the DVD itself contains the original preview of the film.

Luc Besson's movies are always interesting  to watch with beautiful cinematography & French flair. But this latest  offering, despite it still shares those traits, it could become  disillusioned at times.  I couldn't stand Milla Jovovich running around the  set screaming her head off.  If I were one of her soldiers, I wouldn't be  inspired by her at all to fight for France.  Rather, the English looked  more like those civilised type.  With due respect, Milla is not a bad  actress after seeing her in the Fifth Element & her minor role as the  prostitute in You've Got Game with Denzel Washington.  So, the decision for  her to depict Joan as that mad woman is questionable.  The part of her  arguing with her conscience acted by Dustin Hoffman is like watching X  Files, you want to know the truth but the truth you shall not find.  At  times, I just wished that she could be burned & done with so that I  could get on with life.  Well, a completely forgettable film & I  wouldn't dream of watching it one more time, just like putting myself over  a guillotine.  Having said that, Faye Dunaway & John Malkovich were  superb in their amoral roles being calculative, manipulative, conniving to  serve their own interests.

In a way, this film is a group effort, with tremendous performances by Harvey Keitel and Jodie Foster, and a tremendous score by the legendary Bernard Herrmann (CITIZEN KANE, NORTH BY NORTHWEST, PSYCHO).  But the main credit for this film should go jointly to De Niro, Scorsese, and Paul Schrader.  Unbelievably, neither Scorsese nor Schrader even received an Oscar nomination.  This, of course, says a lot more about the inherent conservatism of the Academy than about the job these men did.  In fact, most of the greatest directors to work in American cinema (Hitchcock, Ernst Lubitsch, Howard Hawks, Preston Sturges, Orson Welles, among many others) never won a Best Director Oscar, and neither has Scorsese.  And very few better, more literate scripts have been produced in America.

Steve Martin may think he's being clever, but really he isn't.  I absolutely hated his charcter, who, despite his big nose, was awfully cocky.  Now, I wasn't a huge fan of the real Cyrano de Bergerac, so that MAY be part of the problem.  Nevertheless, the plot made me roll my eyes and every bit of the movie bored me to tears.  Please try to find something that is actually witty and funny, like The Simpsons.  The Simpsons knows how to paraody literature.
Ethan Hawke as Vincent does a sterling job of displaying how the odds are stacked against from his very inception! This is someone whose life is limited before he even tries. However, just as fascinating were the theoretically superior characters; Vincent's girlfriend, brother and his genetic original who suffer from the lie that genetics can perfectly predict a person's life.

The actors add their own powerful psychotic theme to "Taxi Driver".  Robert De Niro plays Travis delightfully.  His every expression is flawless.  Jodie Foster plays Iris beautifully as her character's pain and yearning are expressed to the fullest.  She proves that she was one of the best child actors from the 1970's.  This role is great for audiences to watch to see how she's become the genius actress she is.  All other actors also performed their roles wonderfull, namely Cybill Shephard, Harvey Keitel, and Peter Boyle.

I would like to see a sequel. No doubt about it. It got jolts and scares out of me despite reading the scorn and criticism I'd read before seeing the movie. I mean-- I liked Aliens, I liked The Cube, I like zombies and freaky scenes. The red queen was pretty neat and I thought Milla and Michelle rocked. So if you enjoy just a good scare flick and can leave some of the scorn people are throwing around out of it--you will have a good time.



Taxi Driver has become an American fable, complete with heroes, villains, violence, and compassion.  A solid, complex film that defined urban drama and raised the bar for stark realism in film.  Besides, it inspired a presidential assassination attempt.  Obviously the film speaks to madmen, but it also echoes in the minds of the supposedly sane.

All of us fans hope that some day soon, Steven Spielberg may release the ultimate longest version with the original footage and the "special edition" footage and the additional network television footage all together in the movie itself and release it on DVD.  A full-screen version (standard) would be nice too. (In December 2007, All versions of the film was released in a new ultimate DVD package).
 Now ... why do I like this movie? There are many reasons. For starters, it's got everything a fun teen slasher requires. Lots of big breasts, reasonably good acting, truckloads of gore, unpredictable twists and turns, some big laughs, a scary killer and a brilliant setting. To add to that, the movie never stops with the scares, is never boring and had something that I really appreciated. In some teen slashers (Urban Legends: Final Cut especially) the main characters really don't really seem to care after their friends/people have been killed. In I Still Know What You Did Last Summer; Julie James is a very respectable character. She stills mourns for those she has lost and those she may lose. I was actually shocked with the amount of emotion the movie put on when showing Julie's new life and what she goes through.
5003	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I have purchased and viewed all of Wes Anderson's films in the past month or so and I have got to say that I am thoroughly impressed. Rushmore, probably his most popular and acclaimed film, is an interesting story focusing on one character (very uncharacteristic of Anderson), Max Fischer. The Royal Tenenbaums, in my opinion, is TECHNICALLY his best achievement to date. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and The Darjeeling Limited were both solid entries that I thought were great despite a lack of a certain something (still trying to figure it out). Fantastic Mr. Fox was an extremely well done stop-motion film adapting a story from Roald Dahl. My FAVORITE however is his debut film, Bottle Rocket.
1411	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	i love the avengers...of course i'm talking about the tv show.patrick macnee and diana rigg were always charming and sly,making the plot almost secondary,but always interesting.now on to the movie....mr.fiennes and  ms.thurman are neither charming or sly,and neither they nor the plot is  interesting. even sean connery,the BRILLIANT sean connery,who has given us  such memorable performances in such movies as:the rock,medicine man and,of  course,bond,james bond, this time just gives us a headache. the basic plot  is that sean,playng the villian,sir august dewinter(subtle) wants to  control the weather. the sad thing is even after you watch the movie,you're  not really sure why. there's also an "emma peel" twin on the  loose,and poor patrick macnee as the invisible guest. don't ask me to  explain it,really...it's just so...i can't even say contrived,that would  give the plot too much depth..it's more like a defrosting refridgerator  with the food left in. and is it just a coincedence that uma has been in  the two worst films of all time,("batman & robin" being the  king,and this coming a close second!),or is this a case of the odor in the  elevator every time she's in it. i don't know,but all i do know is,DON'T  WASTE TWO HOURS OF YOUR LIFE ON THIS!!!!not even connery could save this  one.
both commentaries are very informative & worth listening to

Now as for the CGI animation for the Lickers and the schematic of the Hive: Its the best done for this kind of movie. Though at times the Licker does seem out of place in some scenes(he appears to come off the background instead of blending in with it), it otherwise flawlessly blends within the film. The Hive Schematic was usual 3D animation, its never painful to the eyes and it works well with what its got.

-Loved the camera angles.

How many people doesn't still look to the sky for answers of the great unknown that's above us for sure, the universe is there serving us with its' giantness and all that yet undiscovered out there making our imagination go wild -and that's what makes this movie as facinating as it still is today!
3592	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This one comes with a beautiful book full of great pictures and information. I love that the menu lets you choose which version you want to see (original, special, and director's cut). The image quality is great for a movie from the 70s. It is full of extra material, documentaries, photo galleries, and everything you could ask for. Maybe a commentary with director & cast would have made it perfect, but it's ok. I was lucky to purchase this one now, because in a short time it will be impossible to find at this price.

 It's a poignant look into the world of drug smuggling on an individual level no cartels or glamorized drug rings. He was young it was the 70's sad to say "everybody was doing it" here or there. He jus had the foolish guts to do it & it was something he paid for 10 fold.
The story itself is very simple.  Charlie, played by William Ragsdale, notices that his new neighbor's aren't quit as normal as they seem.  He begins to see very mysterious happenings involved with them, and when he reports them, nobody seems to believe him.  Soon, the neighbors know that Charlie knows their secret, and Charlie finds himself running to save his own life as well as a few others.
Many people love to rehash Steel Magnolias for the script, this actress or that actress, but the truth is that Steel Magnolias was one of those films that was just plain spontaneous combustion. It was the right screenplay, with the right director, one of the best ensemble casts ever assembled (that includes Tom Skerritt and Sam Shepard--who's a damned good playwright in his own right in addition to being a world class actor--put he and Dolly Parton together and it's pure magic!) and the enticing cinematography of the beautiful area surrounding the true backdrop of Robert Harling's original story, Natchitoches, Louisiana. About 6 years ago I was driving through the area and stopped to see if Natchitoches was as beautiful as it was in the movie and I can tell you it isn't. It's even more gorgeous than you see in the film! It's warm and caring community of people who were just as changed by Robert Harling's play and screenplay as some of you were! I strongly suggest you drop by, kick your feet up and stay awhile!
GREAT

It might not have been the greatest movie ever made but, thanks to the canny direction and score, "I Know What You Did Last Summer" was a very effective thriller. Shame the same can't be said of this sequel, which crams in every slasher clich known to man with such little awareness of how hackneyed it all is that it actually seems to believe this is scary stuff.  In a fit of apparent desperation, writer Trey Callaway packs Julie (Hewitt), survivor of the first film, off to an island in the Bahamas when she wins a holiday thanks to a radio show calling her number. Joining her is fish-faced Karla (Brandy), her boyfriend Tyrell (Mekhi Pfeiffer, who I seem to remember used to have a promising career) and spare wheel Will (Matthew Settle). Joining them soon after that is the killer fisherman, who engineered the prize (the fact that Julie's number's unlisted doesn't set off any warning bells) and proceeds to slice his way from one end of the movie to the other. There are no boats scheduled for days, the phones don't work, and there's a storm on the way...you get the picture.
First, in terms of story, there's not much going on. A Presbyterian minister (Tom Skerritt), a stern but decent and loving man,  raises his two sons in Missoula, Montana, and bonds with them by teaching them the art of fly-fishing. The older son, Norman, is steady, serious-minded and, especially as played by Craig Sheffer as an older teen and young adult, rather dull. The younger son, Paul, is brilliant at fishing, full of life and wildness, an iconoclast, a gambler in every sense of the word, a bright shooting star destined to crash and burn. Norman plods towards his destiny, including a degree from Dartmouth, an uneventful courtship with a woman named Jessie (Emily Lloyd), and an offer of a teaching post at the University of Chicago while Paul races headlong into his. Because a key theme of the movie is that we so seldom can help the people we most care about (after all, these are Presbyterians, and Presbyterians believe in predestination), there's no dramatic tension. We know Paul's headed for trouble and nobody, least of all Norman, can do a thing about it.
How Jane could have felt anything beyond oppression and disdain is beyond me! Jane's character is even altered; she's borderline bratty, somewhat mouthy, and unreservedly opinionated.

Great blue hair and super soundtrack but...it lacks something... Hmmmm...This movie could be best  described as 50% My Own Private Idaho (only punk and not gay), 30% Fast  Times At Ridgemont High (only post High School and Punk, not new wave) and  20% "lets hook it up with a punk soundtrack and the kids will love  it". I was kinda depressed by this movie. Maybe it hit too close to  home and I felt like I know 10 people who could have easily been Stevo.  There were some scenes in the flick that I really laughed at...The doctor  visit at the start of the film, the convience store incident, Stevos talk  with his mom and dad about law school. But mostly I just didn't believe  Matthew Lillard as a punk. Maybe that's the point. Im not sure. The ending,  I felt, was contrived and just silly. And the fact that the movie seems to  be trying to say that "all punks have to grow up" just makes me  shiver and laugh. This movie is worth a rental but Im not sure about buying  it. hmmm. I wouldn't buy it but I wouldnt laugh at you if you did... I  would suggest maybe checking Greg Araki out before you slap your money down  for this flick.

5032	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Wes Anderson is not for everyone.  Personally, he's my favorite modern-day director and this is my favorite of all of his films.  I fell in love with this movie right from the get-go.  The directing is so unique and the film's score by Mothersbaugh is simply brilliant.  The characters in this film (like the three other Anderson films) are all so likeable no matter how eccentric and dysfunctional they may be.  Everyone in the cast does a fantastic job, but Owen Wilson (Dignan) steals the show.  His performance in this film, in my opinion, is by far the finest work he has done to date.  It's pure comic genius, and one could easily say that this was a role that he was born to play as cliche as that may sound.  I would also have to say the same about his charming brother Luke as well (although he did an excellent job in the Royal Tennebaums too).  James Caan in a small, supporting role is absolutely hilarious on top of just being Jimmy Caan, one of the coolest cats alive!  He gives the film that extra added kick that it needs half way through when he first appears on screen.
7468	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	You know what I like the 1970's stuff in this movie but over all it really kind of stank.  The modeling stuff, Faye Dunaway, 1970's stuff all cool but a bad movie
People band the "timeless masterpiece" title around a bit too much, but this is such a unique film on every level and has earned great respect among fans as a real cult classic. I remember the first time I watched this pondering just how tedious could a film be about a Taxi Driver? Well this is no ordinary cab ride a gritty street/crime drama that leaves a lasting impression on viewers.
PLEASE give this movie an HONEST chance.  Don't  go in expecting to have everything spelled out for you, this is a very sly  comedy.
For the most part the action takes place in the Bellamy's London home. Over five seasons we see little of London except through the windows of the Bellamy's house. The war footage is a notable exception to this statement. Even so, enough is happening under that roof to keep us genuinely interested and engaged.
Giant, poisonous spiders,  killer sharks, 2 arm ferocious hunters, large killer poisonous plants and the over 6ft tall indestructible Tyrants in the game. A waste of a golden opportunity to make a good movie.

4526	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	One of my favorite all-time movies.  It will take some time to get used to the "Jesus" in this movie if you've seen  'Das Boot' the same way that the soundtrack of  'Caligula'  kept me from enjoying "The Hudsucker Proxy" by having flashbacks from the former movie every time Hudsucker's theme played.  Why do film-makers do THAT!?  As for the movie's message, when it comes to Albuquerque:  "DON'T Forgive Them, Lord, They Know EXACTLY What They're Doing!"  lol




In conclusion, this is a rare movie since it's an intelligent combination of science fiction and thriller.  With a great plot, good acting, and great visuals, it is a movie not to be missed!!
The first film spent half its running time zombie-free, as they tried to set up suspense and that's pretty understandable. This time around, there should be zombies galore, right? But the plotting is so damn slow, you almost forget there are zombies in the film! And even when the zombies are on-screen, they use this filming style that looks like choppy stop-motion animation! Who thought this was a good idea in post-production? Whoever has this film editor hired now on ANY film, fire them immediately.

This film is refreshing, optimistic and the perfect counterbalancing vision as opposed to the totally urban paranoid approach of many authors, the latest book on the subject being Steven King's Dreamcatcher. Here we understand we must not be afraid of them or their coming, because, and definitely more than us, they want to know, to exchange, to build together with us rather than destroy and annihilate.
More than that, however, in my book the very best scene of this film has absolutely nothing to do with the Grail or with anything medieval -- and that is the scene of the fierce rabbit. I still cannot watch this film without cracking up (as we moderns say) over the scene in which the "harmless little rabbit" attacks the Arthurian troupe. The hubris that the rabbit scene uncovers is a sadly (but hilariously) universal feature of human nature.
Of course, historical material such as this brought tears of joy to the eyes of both Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones (also their parents). They were inspired by it to bring the story of King Arthur and the Holy Grail to the sometimes silver screen. This they have done. Truly, the Pendragons are the stuff of legend. Predictably, Gilliam and Jones took certain liberties to achieve enhanced dramatic effect, adding some important new information revealed by their own historical research. For example, details about martial arts for quadriplegics, the Sepulcher of the Holy Grenade and its Killer Rabbit, aerodynamics of various species of migrating swallows, and interior decorating (e.g. curtains) in 6th century royal quarters. Exciting new stuff indeed.

Meanwhile, Ted's son Doug (Gedrick) has become a fairly good pilot himself.  He and his friends have their own flying club, and they enjoy flying their Cessnas on the weekends.  Doug has an enemy in school who challenges him to fly "the snake", a dangerous canyon near the air force base.  Doug accepts and, even though someone messed with his plane, Doug still manages to win.  However, his victory is short-lived, for he soon finds out about his father's capture and impending trial.
This is a serious, dramatic film, with humor mixed in.  This is a movie that should make you think and feel, and a must have in any film buffs collection.
* On The Blackfoot River 1080 Loops: Exclusive to the BD. They contain a looped 1080 view, that is selectable by the user between a "Rushing River", "Rocky Mt", "Big Sky Country" and "Forest Bend". All of them have background scores by the film's composer (able to turn that on/off). They all looked and sounded adequate, and the best thing out of them would be the 5.1 mix of water and insect sounds; maybe one of those screen saver moments to have on the display for background and such.
  This kind of sci-fi is based in science too, not in explosions, space car chases, or gritty unshaven (and possibly inebriated) main characters that make wise cracks every 30 seconds. There aren't many technologies in this movie that aren't possible right now either, giving it its not-too-distant future feel. Another aspect I liked was the costume design, and architecture incorporated in this film, which all come from various parts of LA, and Orange County. They gave a very minimalist feel to the movie, which is apparently one of the best and easiest ways to convey a futuristic setting. It's never too much to presume that 40's fashion and art deco might not come back into style either. If the 70's can be considered cool again, I guess anything is possible...

During the five years he spends in the prison,he suffers emotional,physical and mental torment. The prison is run by a brutal guard played by Paul Smith who seems to have a good time beating the prisoners which makes him a symbol of cruelty. Among with Brad Davis' great performance as Billy Hayes is John Hurt and Randy Quaid who both deliver really great performances as well. Brad Davis I think was overlooked by the academy which surprised me because he displayed his character with so much emotion that you had to feel sorry not just for his character but also for him. Midnight Express is the kind of prison film that makes other prison films too hard to compare. The Shawshank Redemption was also a film I enjoyed but wasn't as gut wrenching or emotional as this film. Midnight Express is in my opinion a film that is too horrifying to ignore which means that this film  should not be ignored. It shouldn't be watched for entertainment value. That isn't why this film was made. Midnight Express I highly recommend.

6185	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	"Resident Evil" is a great science fiction/horror hybrid.  The plot, a virus released from a laboratory, is frightening and plausible.  A beautiful cast, led by a multi-talented Milla Jovovich, comprises a group of paramilitary commandoes who find themselves trapped miles beneath the earth's surface in a secret laboratory where illegal genetic experiments are being conducted by the Umbrella Corporation.  It is a "who-will-live-who-will-die" action adventure.  Flesh-eating zombies are not usually my cup of tea but this movie makes them very plausible.  The Red Queen computer is chilling, especially when her voice and hologram are that of a child issuing threats such as "You're All Going to Die Down Here!"  With the advent of avian flu, the movie's T-virus has frightening possibilities.  Thus, the movie remains current and fresh.  It is reminiscent of "The Stand," "Rabid," "The Crazies," and other out-of-control virus movies.  Favorite scene:  When the Red Queen traps four commandoes in a glass corridor and dispatches them with lasers that slice and dice.  A must have for all fans of science fiction/horror.  "Resident Evil" is followed by two strong sequels.

3164	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	"Easy Rider" directed by Dennis Hopper, produced by Peter Fonda and written by Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Terry Southern was a low budget film ($340 grand) that surprisingly became a box office smash. The story is about two hippys (Fonda & Hopper) who buy choppers with cash they've gotten from a drug deal. They ride cross country heading to Louisianna (to Mardi Gras) and on their way meeting different people, visiting a commune of hippys, ending up in jail, going to a brothel, taking acid etc. The ending was disturbing in 1969 and still is, even in these days of non-stop violence in our country. This 35th Anniversary Edition is identical to the regular dvd version of "Easy Rider" with the exact same bonus material "The Making-Of Documentary "Easy Rider: Shaking The Cage" (feat. interviews with Fonda, Hopper, etc.) and an audio commentary by Dennis Hopper plus production notes. The bonuses for this 35th Anniversary Edition are a cd which includes eight songs (do not confuse this cd with the actual "Easy Rider Soundtrack" as it is not). The songs are "Born To Be Wild" - Steppenwolf, "The Weight" - Smith, "Nights In White Satin" - The Moody Blues, "Wasn't Born To Follow" - The Byrds, "San Francisco Nights" - Eric Burden And The Animals, "The Pusher" - Steppenwolf, "It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" - Roger McGuinn and "Get Together" - The Youngbloods. The 80 page book "Easy Rider" by Lee Hill is interesting and includes all you'll ever want to know about the film. The bottom line is, if you already own the regular dvd of "Easy Rider" I'd pass on this 35th Anniversary Edition. Of course, if you don't own this classic film it may be worth the extra cash for the bonus cd and book.

Performances are good, ....although Marvin is perhaps a little too old for the character he's playing. The settings are genuine and their misery well-portrayed as they fight off thirst, starvation and the elements, ...even the sheer boredom.

3078	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Definitely a woman's movie. Sally Fields, Dollie Parton, Shirley MacLaine and Olympia Dukakis are real close friends.  They portray southern woman. The story is their life story,  Julia Roberts plays Sally Fields daughter and Daryl Hannah is a hair dresser.  There is so much to this movie. Funny, sad and a good movie for the girls to bring out the tissues. Great story and great actresses.
1. Her Sister Catherine must of been 'Saint Catherine' in a different war, and it was her training, and that is how she got to hate the English so much.  What child would not be terorized by such an event! Heck I was terrified,  and felt the same feelings. Who wouldn't? Comrade? English didn't say those kinds of terms in the 15th century. It was another time. Call it another dimension. It was told she had special training from St Catherine. I told you its far out there.
I highly recommend this movie.  I don't always recommend classics like this.  I often punch holes in them and rate them 1 or 2 stars.  This is deservedly a classic.

Last Action Hero scores huge points all round. It's technically wonderful, with gorgeous anamorphic Panavision photography full of wide angles and lens flares. The writing is sharp is funny. Arnie is great as an infallible hero in crisis as well as making fun of his screen persona. And the action, both fictional and meta-fictional, is wild, overblown, and exciting. I just love Slater's huge fall from the elevator.

Then in 1980, they came out with the "Special Edition", the version where they show show the inside of the Mother Ship, and I thought, "that was total crap!" Never really looked for the original version, but I remember the S.E. was about the only one out on VHS.
  The series includes rarely shown episodes from the 1st season, as well as the special, Upstairs Downstairs Remembered: The 25th Anniversary Special.  While the special is included with the first series episodes, I would advise waiting until you have viewed the entire series before watching the special, to avoid any plot points being given away.

Devon Sewa stars as Anton Tobias, a High School Slacker who's Hand seems to be Possessed. Along with his Equally Lazy Friends (turned Un-dead Lazy Friends) Mick (Seth Green) and Pnub (Eldon Henson), and his Girlfriend Molly (Jessica Alba), Anton sets out to stop his Evil hand from Killing Everyone he Knows.
 The 1977 version of Close Encounters shows Terri Garr listening to an officer talking about UFO's. The 1980 version of the film shows the bright, colorful inside of the mothership. Cary Guffey is quite good as a three year old who is kidnapped by aliens. Close Encounters came out in 1977; it had to compete with Star Wars. Both films were referenced in Independence Day(1996). Times have changed. Steven Spielberg directed War of the Worlds(2005) and that film showed us some nasty, malevolent aliens from Mars. In the 1970's and the 1980's, Spielberg was willing to show us optimistic tales of encounters with space aliens. Close Encounters is a keeper.
Ignore the claims of racism made by pro-Turkish pundits that this film supposedly displays. This film is NOT racist. If the truth is racist, then let the truth be shown in its' most brutal detail. What we see in the film are real, actual events that happen to both Turks and non-Turks in Turkey, every single day. While it's true that Billy Hayes did not experience every single act of torture in this film, Oliver Stone and Alan Parker simply culled through the records of Amnesty International and gave voice to the countless victims of a brutal regime that has yet to this day to change its' human rights record.

However, some amateur footage of the zombie tragedy ends up in the hands of mainstream news.  Reports of disturbing and shocking footage are aired.  Oh, wait sorry, never mind the whole thing was just a hoax.  All we know is that Racoon City was leveled by a nuclear meltdown.  WHAT?  Are you trying to tell me no one in the outside public knew about this outbreak?  No one noticed the 30 ft wall surrounding a major metropolis?  Newspapers had enough time to release breaking news headlines reading "THE DEAD WALK" and nobody outside heard about it or read these articles?  None of the presumably thousands of earlier escapees told anyone about the tragedy?  None of the remaining people not to mention the reporting local news, government or law enforcement groups made a phone call to the outside world to report what was happening and/or ask for aid and/or say there goodbyes to loved ones, especially in the early hours of the outbreak?  How in the world am I supposed to buy that crap?
Robert DeNiro stars as Travis Bickle, a 26-year-old honorably discharged U.S. Marine. He's depressed and lonely and drives a taxi to make money. He soon becomes infatuated with Betsy, a campaign volunteer for Senator and presidential candidate Charles Palantine. Their relationship is quite awkward. He also becomes interested in helping a teen prostitute named Iris (played by a young Jodie Foster) get out of the hooker life. Travis becomes a vigilante by buying up guns and tries to help clean New York of corruption and overbearing pimps. I will consider buying the 40th Anniversary Blu-Ray of this film. I highly recommend TAXI DRIVER!!!
9866	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I finally saw this film for the first time last night after hearing how wonderful it was time and time again.  I have to say that the reviews for this film are right.  It's very smart and excellently paced, keeping your attention and testing your wits.  Vincent Freeman was born into the world conceived in love.  His parents had opted to have a child naturally rather than have a child according to new procedures.  You see natural selection is the way to go, having your sperm and eggs inspected as to the perfect child, wiping out all disease and medical problems, mood disorders or any chance of early death.  These genetically altered children are considered 'valids'.  Vincent was born an 'in-valid', not expected to live more than 30 years.  Because of this set-back Vincent will never be allowed to realize his dream of space travel for only 'valids' are allowed to enter the training program.  You must be of the utmost physical shape.

the romance he sets up involves the female archtype we see in every woody allen movie. she is young, good looking, bright and, most importantly, not Jewish. his pursuit of the ultimate shiksa will continue in virtually every subsequent film. he gets better at this when he starts using Diane Keaton, followed by Mia Farrow.

These plotlines are developed quietly, unhurriedly and without any sensationalism. No matter how detached the tone of the movie is, you find yourself touched by the characters, who each in their own way are sympathetic, some of them surprisingly so. The acting of the three leads is excellent and thoroughly believable. The wonderful, haunting score by Michael Nyman further hightens the impact of what is ultimately a very moving film, that surely deserves wider fame than it currently enjoys. This and "Contact" are as yet the only two must-see sci-fi movies I've come across.

While you may not glean a wealth of new information or insight into the period, the color films imbue the war with an immediacy you've never experienced before- unless of course, you were there. This alone makes the DVD a worthwhile investment of time and money. Bear in mind this is all bona-fide color footage-nothing has been colorized. The effect is spellbinding, almost miraculous- as when Judy Garland as Dorothy first lands in Oz.

I admit, when I first seen Nemisis I was a bit taken back. I couldn't help but thinking the whole movie had just gone down the toilet with an oversize monster.

There's no crumbling Spencer Mansion. No odd puzzles to solve. No lone zombie wandering a dark hallway. No mouldering tombs to search. No blackened catacombs. No Trevor family. No freak mutations like the massive snake Yawn, Plant 42, Lisa Trevor, the shark Momma Neptune, or the dreaded Tyrant. No moody atmosphere of being stranded in a remote mansion, looking for your missing comrades without a clue as to what happened. No horror of discovering sinister experiments. In fact, there's nothing in this movie that made the game so creepy and effective. It was all there; perfect source material to make a truly frightening film. Sadly, it was all trashed in favor of pretty actors and lame Matrix-like action. In other words, Hollywood took another promising franchise and turned it into the typical garbage that they churn out day after day. On it's own, the film is your average Hollywood action/horror job, indistinguishable from the rest of its ilk. As a RE film, it is a complete bomb & miserable failure.
 Laughlin is baffled by something else, as well.  A Mexican villager, old, sunburned, and seemingly delirious, keeps repeating, "El sol salio anoche y me canto. El sol salio anoche y me canto."

As for the Special Anniversary DVD Edition...it is not anything major, but it does include some good stuff. The popular teen group "Play" sings their own version of "Hard Knock Life" (which, if you know the 4 teens who make up this girl group, it is a perfect song for them), there are some "Sing and Act Along with Annie" sections, and most notably, you get a short featurette with an all-grown-up Aileen Quinn. Long-time fans of this movie will absolutely love to see her come on-screen and talk about her experiences with the film and how the newfound fame impacted her life afterward. (I personally love the flashback video segment where Carol Burnette hugs Aileen and says "Aileen, can I put you in my bag and take you home with me? I can't be mean to this kid!") Judging from this featurette, Quinn seems very personable and easygoing, and there's no doubt that playing Annie must have been a very special memory from her childhood.
Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) is back with a whole new life, new friends, far away from South Port. When her best friend Karla (Brandy) wins a trip to Bahamas, she is ecstatic. Karla brings her new crush along with her and Julie (after Ray rejects) hooks up with her new friend Will Benson.

To convince her to accept this prize, Bridges enlists the help of Jeter, another street person who was once a stock theater actor.
Now that I have seen it many many times and own a copy, I still say that it is one of my favorites and I am not a science fiction fan. However, this is more than science fiction. The author thought of a way to solve many of the mysteries we have experienced in the world and never could explain. And also, inserted a lot of psychology. What is fantasy today could be our future!
But what makes this movie stand out is the terribly violent battle scenes. In an age before gunpowder, the imagination used for weapons was truly astonishing. The 'bowling balls' that were dropped and shot out of the castle was something I had never heard of before. The 'gatling gun' arrow machine was also gruesome. The decapitation device that swung as soldiers reached the casle roof was another example of the horrific violence of being in the military in those days.

film to everyone who enjoys seeing a fine re-enactment of one of the greatest achievements in the Revolutionary War, led by George
I wouldn't touch the scene where the mothership, when seen for the first time, seems to rise over the mountain rather than descend from space; it is a very powerful visual symbolizing being both "on earth and among the stars"--and is just ambiguous enough to allow for the mothership merely "appearing" to rise while in fact traveling horizontally (relative to the ground at the tower)--an appearance perhaps due to the size of the ship and/or the curvature of the earth--it leaves the audience wondering a bit just what is going on--kind of like watching a moonrise. However, on very close scrutiny, it seems there were some minor flaws in the special effects concerning the mothership (perhaps due to a rushed editing job, which Spielberg admits): In certain scenes the mothership does not appear quite as big as other scenes require. Basically, in the shot of the rising/landing mothership, it should appear about 4x or even 8x (at least 2x) as large if it is to be the "city in space" (though even at 1/2 x it would still be too big to escape the notice of Howard K. Smith) which the more close-up shots of the mothership (both outside the ship, as given by all versions, and inside, as given by the special edition) require. (I suspect a similar scene in 'Independence Day' was closer to what Spielberg was technically going for.) Still, the visuals are remarkably effective and quite beautiful, and give a very memorable impression.

 Easy Rider falls roughly inside the lines of the master narrative of the western.

Well excuse us for not having a typical, American sense of humor - a movie doesn't have to have raunchy penis jokes or ridiculous one-liner 'punches' to be humorous! Granted, the movie does exihibit plenty of idiocy in itself, it is a different kind of idiocy. The Pythons' lunatic-like randomisity is what endears the fans.

Critiquing a sacred cow is always dangerous, not least when this films is regarded one of comedy's holy grails.  But those of us who err on the side of conservatism with our moral standards will want to give this film a miss. For a more innocent parody of chivalry which avoids the unholiness and irreverence of this humor, try instead Goldman's The Princess Bride. - GODLY GADFLY

5266	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	"Taxi Driver" is an effective, gritty work that is both a masterpiece and unforgettable. It is, I believe, the first movie that really showed the brilliance of Martin Scorsese and screenwriter Paul  Schrader. This is a dark, disturbing journey into madness, realistically  capturing the mean streets in all their realism. Travis Bickle (Robert  DeNiro), is a deep examination of a man falling deeper and deeper into the  abyss of madness. Driven even deeper by what he sees in the world around  him. Schrader's screenplay at times has the feel of a documentary, as does  Scorsese's adaptation onto film. "Taxi Driver" vibrates with a  realism seen in few movies. Maybe that's why it has stood the test of time  triumphantly. Seeing this movie once is not enough, because you need to see  it more than once to really get what it's saying, to truly understand it.  Scorsese's film is gritty and at times, shocking, but not dumb or bloody  just for entertainment. "Taxi Driver" explores through Bickle,  the nature of crazy people, really getting into the mind of a lonely man  who doesn't know much about the outside world because he seldom goes out to  explore it. The film is always interesting, Scorsese brings it to life  through the settings, camera angles and cinematography. The shoot-out at  the end is one of the most brilliant ever filmed because it seems  realistic, but not over-exagerrated, it's shocking, but we understand it.  "Taxi Driver" opened doors for more filmmakers who wanted to make  movies that didn't hold back, that were realistic in their representation  of the dark corners of society. It stands as a brilliant work which will be  studied and endured for years to come.

There are many times in this film that make references to the games. It was fun watching and saying, "Oh that was on Code Veronica!" for example. The acting was once again really good, but the action and special effects really make this a fun movie to watch. IF you love the first movie, then you should like this one. Especially if you know the series and know the game references that are made.
..its all action & this film definatly dint dissapoint me like matrix 2 & 3. Even tho i liked those movies this one proved to come out with better sequals, i loved the first one despite the flaws in it. But this one really kept me interested & glued to the screen.

First off, the sci-fi premise is flimsy (it's a rap on the genetically programmed to be perfect humans vs. "human" humans debate: where "human" humans have become "invalid" citizens, electronically tagged and shut out mainstream society of perfectly engineered "valid" humans. But, you would think, if there is sufficient technology to eradicate human flaws at conception, then surely someone must clever enough to fix them later in life too, no?).

Lots of the songs are pretty good, and definitely stick in your head.  The great thing(imo) is that Elmo has only a small bit, and this video has firmly lodged Ernie as his absolute favorite Sesame Street Character!!!  He talks about tubby time and bath(not on this DVD though), and has learned some numbers (I think :-)) We have a laugh at Benny every time we watch, which is a few times a week -- would be 24 x 7 if it was my son's choice.

An American Christmas Carol is a superb and original adaption of the Dickens Christmas classic. Henry Wrinkler stars as the Scrooge character, Benedict Slade. He does a great job as a hardnosed old man, and he does look convincing in aged make up. The story takes place in New England America, during the Great Depression.
5512	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Finally a good movie. Hadn't seen one of these in a while. This movie is a perfect representation of punks in the 80s. Todays punks have become smart, and have adopted the individuality belief instead of anarchy. This movie I believe gets it point across. It also is very unique. The scene at the punk show is pretty acurate to todays punk shows, but the punks of today don't party. They fight for a cause. Also this film does a great job at exposing posers, skinheads, mobs, metalheads, punks, and new wavers. SLC Punk starts out entertainingly enough as a sarcastic snapshot of the punk-rock scene in Salt Lake City in 1985 and is complete with mohawks, moshing, and vague avowals of anarchy. But gradually, the wanderings of Stevo and Heroin Bob turn into a multilayered exploration of character and culture shock. Though he spends his days drinking and mocking the values of his parents, Stevo turns just as critical an eye on his own rhetoric and lifestyle, and comes to find that aimless rebellion may be just as hollow as the mindless pursuit of money. No character has the right point of view; there are no easy solutions. SLC Punk sustains its energy through wit, realism, propulsive editing, and excellent performances from Lillard, Goorjian, and the rest of the cast. Did I mention plot. Yes the plot is great. It's emblematic of the movie's sophistication that Stevo's lawyer father is treated satirically without being dismissed; though baffled by his son's form of rebellion, he never loses hope that Stevo will go on to law school and continues to cajole Stevo and argue with him about how the world works. By its end, the constantly shifting perspective of SLC Punk achieves a surprising emotional depth. All in all at the end Stevo becomes anything but a poser. Now that he thinks for himself, and has a purpose for his rebellion, he's become a punk all of us punx would be proud of. Forget the critics, and the poseur anarchist out there. This movie is an accurate portrayal of the 80s punx, and thus you must keep in mind that we've changed. Although there are more poseurs out there than there are real punx. It was true in the 80s and is still true today.

The DVD version of the movie restores the portions of the screen  cut off by the pan-and-scan process.  The Python troupe notoriously used  the big screen to their fullest advantage.  You can now SEE things that  could only be heard in the VHS version.  And hearing gets better too thanks  to Dolby Sound.
Overall, its great to see the film receive a lossless soundtrack and also include the original mono soundtrack as well.  But you are able to hear the screams of the prisoners while being tortured and overall, the pain and anguish from the talents who just are trying to keep sane in the prison.

Even if you've never played the video game, didn't like the first "Resident Evil" movie or don't care for a lot of high tech military action in a horror film, I'd still highly recommend you take the time to watch this one. If you liked both the 1978 version of "Dawn of the Dead" and "Aliens", you're going to love "Resident Evil: Apocalypse". Besides, if internationally acclaimed Milla Jovovich agreed to add it to her rsum of, among others, "the Fifth Element", "the Messenger: the Story of Jean of Arc" and "the Million Dollar Hotel", it has to be good!
And it's too bad, because, when it came out, THE AVENGERS could've out-sluethed both Austin Powers and James Bond.  It could have had the bizarre Avengers flair with the 007 intrigue and thrills.

If you want a serious documentary like one about the Beatles, or the Rolling Stones or the Who, that tries to discuss the more serious influences the Spice Girls have made on our culture, you can fergitabutet, although one of the film's character's is a documentary-maker trying to do just that. Like the Girls themselves, this film is never meant to be taken seriously.  It pokes fun at everything in true British Spike-Mulligan "Monty Python" style. It kids VIP parties, publicity photo sessions, girls being girls, "Charlie's Angels", haunted house themes, army sergeant-majors, news happenings, and the BBC.  There's a newspaper magnate so tired of the group that he's willing to jump on anything that may cause them to disband. There's George Wendt as a Hollywood producer eager to make some sort of film about the Girls and is full of daffy ideas for it. There's Richard Grant as the Girls' hysterical road manager.  There are cameos by Sir Elton John, Sir Elvis Costello ( interesting the amount of knighthoods handed out to major entertainers during the Tony Blair premiership), Stephan Fry, Hugh Laurie, Bob Hoskins, and Jennifer Saunders ("Absolutely Fabulous"), among others.  And there's Sir Roger Moore as the Girl's All-Highest Manager, kidding his own James Bond image. Though I'd agree with other reviewers that the "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" take-off is perhaps a bit much. Is this to show how the appeal of the Spice Girls is truly "universal"  or something?

But I can see that it would bother some people. You should probably rent this first or get it from a library to see if it would bother you.
Four Stars for the Production itself but giving this Two stars because of the DVD quaility.
This genre splitting ultimately undermines the Andrea character who despite Swain's best efforts comes across as a cobbled together mix of inconsistent and conflicting motivations and behaviors-making her impossible to identify with or care about. She is intelligent (headed for an Ivy League school), beautiful, self-assured, adventurous, and has a lot of friends. You have seen this character before in "Say Anything" but in "Girl" she overnight becomes one of the most hated heroines in teen comedy history. Meaning you have sympathy only for her various victims as she virtually rapes a guy to have her first sex, unfeelingly abandons her friends for cooler ones, explores her emerging femininity without regard to the consequences, and generally acts more eight than eighteen. Swain is physically perfect for the "Say Anything" type of heroine but this ultimately works against as her as her transformation into parental nightmare just doesn't ring true.

Rumpole of the Bailey is a treasure - in the US, this would have been groundbreaking in terms of cultural significance / complexity of scripting / quality of cast perfomances / etc. Sadly, US television (not premium networks) frequently fails to ask the audience to reach, think, process, or be challenged. Rumpole does all this and more. Albeit, the every present alcohol consumption gets to be a bit much, but that was/is also British culture - so I got over it.

The big three things that make this movie special are the scenery (photographed to perfection, by Laslo Kovack) the music. Which just plain rocks and Jack Nicholson's performance.

5189	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Scorsese's dark and brutal tale of an isolated outsider who wonders the Big Apple behind the wheel of his taxi cab, a job he takes and works relentless hours to fill his sleepless nights. He observes what he calls "Scum and garbage" polute the streets. Tips from a fellow cabby and an insatible desire to do something big leads to an assasination attempt on a presidential candidate. When that plan flops he turns his sights on saving a young prostitute, played well by a young Jodie Foster. This heroic or psychotic rampage depending how you look at it, (I'm partial to the latter) leads to a bloody climax. Taxi Driver is a brilliant character study and a stunning betrayal of New York City in the 70's. Great direction and an outstanding performance by DeNiro. The film, it's direction and it's star deserve all the awards in the world that it didn't win and will always demand our attention.

In `Gattaca', the world has a pretty terrifying idea of what constitutes humanity and equality.  In this future world (not so distant), genetic manipulation is used heavily to influence the future of our offspring.  Classified as either `Valids' (those who have been genetically manipulated to be superior humans) or `In-Valids' (those born naturally), people are separated out and given certain privileges based on their status.  For Vincent, those privileges are not forthcoming because he was born naturally and thus is deemed inferior.  He has poor eyesight and a few other conditions that genetic manipulation could have eliminated and so his dreams of space travel are nothing more than mere dreams since he is unqualified to actually reach for them.  Vincent sees a way to reach his goals with the help of Jerome, a `Valid' who has suffered an accident and thus is crippled.  Offering his services (in the most complex of ways), Jerome essentially hands over to Vincent his `Valid-ness' and helps Vincent secure a position at Gattaca, a NASA of sorts that will groom Vincent for space travel.

An offbeat, low-budget ROAD MOVIE that has become a cult film by capturing the restless hedonism of the hippie era.  The film's surprise success insipired a wave of youth-culture movies, few of which are now remembered; although the big studios attempted to imitate EASY RIDER'S casual technique and rebellious attitudes, its impact has never been equaled.  The film cost only $375,000 to make and it grossed a whopping TWENTY MILLION at the box-office.
Young Frankenstein,

I own the Blu-Ray of this film. It is a digibook case that comes with one blu-ray disc, and several picture-cards. The picture and sound quality on this disc are superb; definitely a high-quality master similar to the high quality "Blade Runner" and "Psycho" transfers. A must-own blu-ray for fans of this film and film collectors that want the definitive version.
Blu-ray Special Features and Extras: Just like earlier DVD editions of this film, the Blu-ray has no bonus features. Unless you count a bunch of trailers that are not very relevant, which is to my mind, a complete waste of a Blu-ray disc.
Also rising above the mix are the performances by the lead actors, Matthew Lillard as Stevo and Michael Goorjian as Heroin Bob. Lillard transcends his usual one-note snarkiness to create an actual character, and Goorjian makes Heroin Bob (so named because of his fear of needles) one of the most likable - nay, lovable - characters in recent memory.

It was one of the first to really make inroads in the high-power movie system. Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda pretty much made this movie on their own, funded it, and then filmed themselves riding motorcycles across the US.

3) The wide assortment of of medieval weapons used (catapaults, gravity cannon balls, multiple arrow shooters, boiling oil, maces, flails and decapitation devices) were more varied than any other movie. That alone makes this one a classic.
So, Gattaca is both thoughtful and thought-provoking, but I must admit I'd have liked it better if there were less loose ends.  The performances by Hawke and Thurman and Law are all good, as well as Alan Arkin as the most persistent FBI investigator.
3312	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	The female characters in this story would have made Varina Davis the flower of the confederacy,turn in her grave for their unsouthern & unladylike behaviour,especially the character of Ouiser Boudreaux played by  Shirley MacLaine. But they do capture our attention,especially with the  wedding preparations at the start. The six main actors give off wonderful  performances and Julia Roberts is a scene stealer,for which she was  deservedly nominated as best supporting actress. It is undoubtedly a 'chic  flick' but guys will enjoy the humour too. Rent it out this weekend,invite  your friends...and bring lots of tissues.
The rest is action and suspense. Predictable sometimes, but who cares. People who want to be amused by a movie should watch comedy, not horror. People who want movies to make sense should watch the news (even that doesn't always make sense) and not action-horror-suspense movies.
Truly great films transcend the times in which they were made, and Taxi Driver, with its mannered and one dimensional performances, suffers from a lack of emotional credibility.  We never witness Bickle's motivations or demons, instead viewing him as a two dimensional, socially inept caricature who can't handle male-female interaction. Then, almost spontaneously he obsesses on making a violent "big statement".  The dialog and plotting provides little insight into this tormented man's inner voices- Is he suffering PTSD? Is he the product of a terrible home situation? Where do the violent and anti-social tendencies come from? What are Bickle's primary motivations?

3807	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	When this movie hit theaters it happened to coincide with the Columbine high school tragedy back in '99.  Some critics have already pointed this out and blamed the public's poor reaction to this film on the events of April 20th, 1999.  Others disagree, saying the film lacked a target audience ang genuine humor.
6632	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	As a movie, certainly entertaining, but don't look for anything historical here since it must have been a Joan from an alternate universe being depicted.  For example, in this movie Joan has deep angst about her sword she may have found in a field.

6567	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Look, I don't care that this is not historically accurate, most historical fiction is not. What matters here is the acting and the presentation of the plot. Milla is terrific, as is Besson's direction. You love the way this film moves. Not only is it a great action story, but it is appealing in the way Joan slowly gains the recognition, admiration, and finally idolization of her male Knight partners in battle, exhibiting heroism and absolute unrelenting determination. For me, it is set aside from all those other Joan movies exactly because we are kept guessing as to whether Joan is mentally disturbed, entrusted on a path from God, or maybe a little of both. The supporting characters are believable, and the acting is great, especially from the fantastic Malkovich. I give this a big "thumbs up" (missing you Eber).

3243	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This movie is, after all these (20+) years, one of my favorites: a great script, excellent cast (no exceptions), marvelous directing, and shot in the town where the story actually happened, using many of the local folks as extras. I can't believe that I have not praised "Magnolias" here before now. I see that many reviews have covered the territory well, but I feel that not enough has been said about Sally Fields. She has many fine performances to her credit, but her contribution in this film is outstanding, even among those of other cast members.
That is why this film bombed. Not because of its quality or lack thereof, but because of quantity. That is, quantity of people in the business who SAID it wasn't any good. And the so called fans just like the toadying bunch of impressionable troglodytes and knuckle-draggers that they are, fell for it. They stayed away from the film in masses. And what do you think happened? Well, the film flopped of course. It is Arnold Scwarzenegger's most daring attempt at artistic genius and nobody went to see the ****ing thing. Well, let me tell you something. I DID SEE THE FILM, AND I LIKED IT! AND I'M NOT ALONE! But I'm sick of being made to feel like a doofus any time I defend this flick. I am tired of people laughing at me when I tell them that I am an Arnold Schwarzenegger fan, or a Jim Carrey fan, or a Norm Macdonald fan, or a Stephen King fan. I'm sick of it, and I won't stand for it. If anybody here needs to feel ashamed it is YOU POEPLE! I don't care what anybody says. So, you can all kiss my a$$ and go to hell. I love this movie, and I'll KILL ANYBODY WHO TRIES TO CHANGE MY MIND.
It's interesting to note that it has a lot in common with Loaded Weapon, which came out earlier that year. Both are send-ups of the 'L.A. cop movie' genre, both star F. Murray Abraham in supporting roles. Both feature Frank McRae as a screaming Lieutenant. Both have obvious Die Hard references (also directed by the infamous John McTiernan).

Another expedition leader, the late Rob Hall, fares somewhat better, in that he is portrayed as an organized, stand up expedition leader, who puts the welfare of his clients above his own. His much publicized radio farewll to his pregnant wife is included as part of the drama.

A really effective movie that gets you to contemplate your own surroundings.  Nothing is it at rest here and Scorsese and De Niro really bring this character to screen, especially De Niro.  You can't even consider him a "character" after watching De Niro's brilliant performance as Travis Bickle.

2401	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Out of the two airplane films of 1997, Air Force One is arguably superior to Con Air. Air Force One is definitley a great film, and here's why: Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman are terrific in their roles as the President  of the U.S. and a brutal Russian terrorist. but if you want to see slightly  better Harrison Ford, check out his Star Wars films( especially The Empire  Strikes Back). Glenn Close is also very good as the Vice President who  tries to negotiate with the terrorists from Washington. Wolfgang Petersen  does a superb job of directing (Das Boot), (In The Line of Fire). The plot  was believeable, and the plane was much, much larger and better than the  one in Con Air for there was a basement, a large cockpit, and many  different rooms. there are enough hand-to-hand combat fights and gunfights  to fulfill any action fan's requirements. This film is also very stable,  for the plane stays n the air the whole time. Jerry This is definitley an  edge-of-your-seat suspenseful thriller, so buckle your seat belt and enjoy.

On their way home on a Greyhound bus, Dignan lays out their criminal plan for the next 70 years and what they need to do to obtain their goals within this time.  They set out to accomplish these goals with the help of Bob Mapplethorpe (Robert Musgrave) whose car they need, and they equip themselves with guns.  However, as the story unfolds, their dreams and visions are set into action in a most feeble manner, and it seems like their ability to dream is grander than what they can accomplish.  Bottle Rocket is a funny and clever film with a superb script that enhances the cinematic experience that leaves the audience with brilliant dialogues and several notions to reflect on.

The making of is the best by far, and the "Scoring Resident Evil" was extremely interesting, considering the score in the movie was great.  Other than that, the make-up tests, and costume trials weren't spectacular, rather short, but still fun.  The highight on this disc in the Commentary track.  On the track is the director, Paul Anderson, Milla Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez, and the producer(the name escapes my mind right now).  They're all very comfortable with eachother, and crack wise quite often.  They talk about an upcoming sequel, which excites me, but I'm curious as to how they'd bring back Rain(hopefully they will!).  The only thing is that it was recorded before the film was released theatrically, so I wonder if the box office gross will affect the sequel?

I personally love this director's cut.  I must admit my initial viewing ended in disappointment when the final mother ship sequence had been removed.

Garr plays Dreyfuss's wife, who while skeptical, does also try her best to understand him. She goes with him to the press conference. But to her it's as if he claims to have seen the loch ness monster. He's already lost his job over this. How about her kids? How much can she let her husband's "bizarre behavior" affect them? When he flings a heavy plant through a window and at her head, and starts ranting while stealing fencing from his neighbors, many would say she's quite right in taking her kids to safety.
In fact, the film cribs a lot of elements from The Matrix Bargain Bin, such as references to Alice in Wonderland (Alice, the Red Queen, the entrance to The Hive is a mirror), wire-fu, slow-motion bullets, and a lead character who suddenly discovers that they have incredible abilities. The film also seems to "borrow" elements from other genre films like Cube and Day of the Dead, though it's hard to criticize the game for using elements of Romero's zombie films since the games themselves are inspired by them.

3748	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I've owned hundreds of laserdiscs and DVDs over the past few decades and I have to tell you this release is quality form the ground up. Here are a few reasons why I think this is my favorite version of any movie I've purchased.
Imagine going to the doctors office with your spouse, after deciding you want to have a child, and hand-selecting genes from your marital pool. Your husbands blue eyes, your cheekbones, your eyesight, your husbands height, etc. In Gattacas world, thats what parents-to-be can do! I thought that concept was extremely alluring, and when I learned the main plot was about a love childsomeone who was conceived the old-fashioned waywho tries to fit in among a world of perfect beings, including his hand-picked brother, I was sold.
  Gattaca is without a doubt one of the most intelligent films in recent time. Packed with superb ideas about a dystopian future without resorting to pomposity is its utter brilliance, subtle and convincing performances cement the result and the directing is equally great, using color and unidentifiable space to set the atmosphere.

However, this version starring Ciaran Hinds and Samantha Morton is my second favorite for several reasons.  First, the casting was perfect.  Ciaran Hinds does a wonderful job portraying Edward Rochester, a complex, authoritative and tortured man who is hiding a horrible secret.  He is supposed to be almost 20 years older than Jane and not overly handsome--although not as moody and dark as Orson wells, he gives the character more humor and fits the bill admirably.  Samantha Morton is simply fantastic as Jane Eyre.  She is my favorite of all the female leads to date.  She is not as pretty as Joan Fontaine or Mia Wasikowska, but she is attractive enough to be pleasant to watch.  (Jane is supposed to be "plain.")  Her Jane has much more personality compared to other actresses who have played the part.  She gives us a strong, confident Jane while showing us enough warmth to make her sympathetic to the viewer.  She is Jane Eyre in my eyes.  The two leads have one thing that many other versions do not--fantastic chemistry!!!  Together, they sizzle on the screen, which is something you would not expect from these two as a couple.
In a nutshell, it's a weak movie; it lacks that something to make it bearable, let alone put it over the top.  No masterpiece here.
"Resident Evil:  Apocalypse" begins directly where "Resident Evil" left off, starting with a flashback sequence that serves as a refresher course for the audience so that all are on the same page when the action really gets going.  Surviving the zombie attacks in the underground compound of the Umbrella Corporation, Alice (Milla Jovovich) arrives in Raccoon City, located right next to the compound, and discovers that she is too late.  The entire city has apparently been overrun by zombies, with most of the city in ruins, Alice begins searching for any non-infected survivors.  She finds a few companions that are willing to take the fight to the zombies, Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory) and Carlos Olivera (Oded Fehr), well-armed and ready for action these compatriots set out to rid Raccoon City of the evil unleashed by Umbrella Corporation.  However, Umbrella Corp. has a surprise for our heroes, a nasty mutated form of zombie known as Nemesis.  With supplies becoming drastically limited, it appears that time is running out for our heroes, and humanity's days could be numbered.
When it came out in 1978 MIDNIGHT EXPRESS was recent enough history that many members of its target audience could identify with Billy Hayes.  If you look at customer reviews posted in recent years on Amazon and elsewhere, you may find that many fewer people sympathize with the character today.  That says something about our own times too.  Back in the 60s and 70s,  there was a good deal of "that-could-have-been-MY-kid" sentiment.  I don't see that kind of compassion-and that's what it is--as much these days. I kind of miss it.

British actresses Jean Marsh and Eileen Atkins conceived U/D as a comedy focused on the downstairs staff.  But it gradually evolved into a drama about the entire household--both upstairs and downstairs.  London Weekend producer Cyril Bennett did not believe that U/D would be successful.

6458	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	This movie was so bad it made me angry. Angry because it should be scary. But this director doesn't even try for horror. He goes for action and he fails at that too. The problem is, this is a director who simply doesn't know how to make a movie. What's the movie about? I'll tell you. There's this super woman, this group of people, a mad scientist and a monster guy and they all run around shooting stuff. There, you don't need to see it now. My favorite scene is when this super sexed up cop enters a room with a little girl and there are zombies in the room and the girl is scared but the cop says not to worry because the zombies are slow and they can just run right around them. HAHAHAHA! That takes any kind of threat out of zombies right there. End the movie now. But no. It drags on through this plot that makes absolutely no sense. Somebody explain to me what the point is of scientists making two monster people and making them battle each other. There's no suspense in this movie, no drama, horrible acting, so-so special effects and no story what so ever.
One must wonder what kind of corruption is behind this completely soiled and devaluing version of the story of Joan of Arc and this disgraceful depiction of Jesus.

Jack Nicholson has the best lines of the movie when he explains that we love to talk about freedom, but we are scared to death of people who actually live it.  A very important idea considering the war that was going on at the time of this movie.
Then after all the zombies have been released, you see these shambling corpses with bite marks, and half eaten faces. This makes no sense as everyone was killed by Red Queen at the same time. So they all should have become zombies at the same time, which would give them no reason to feed on one another.
I believe this release is in 1:85, whereas the out of print, but still often available used

5258	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	'Taxi Driver' is one of the most passionate films ever made, everyone involved did it with such professionalism and dedication that you can't help but admire it. Scorsese scored big with this one, although this wasn;t  his first masterpiece, 'Mean Streets', another Scorsese triumph was made in  1973. Powerhouse directing by Scorsese, and brilliant screenplay by Paul  Schrader. But the acting is the thing that blows you away. Robert DeNiro  delivers one of the most expertly realized performances of all time, he  'was' Travis Bickle, the ultimate antihero, loneliness and violence have  never mixed so well together. His performance was basically a big  improvisation, the whole 'you talking to me' scene was never staged, that  was pure DeNiro. Travis Bickle is just about the loneliest character in the  history of cinema, and that's what 'Taxi Driver' is all about, basically  loneliness. Also a powerhouse performance by a very young Jodie Foster as a  12 year old prostitute, that's a role that could never be done again, even  now in the 22nd century. Cybill Sheppard and, surprise, Albert Brooks are  also good in support. An unforgettable film that really leaves an impact. A  milestone 70's film. Extras: you can spot Martin Scorsese in the background  in the scene where we first see Cybill Sheppard in her white dress, he also  appears as the psycho whose wife is cheating on him and takes Travis along  for the ride. From a scale of 1-10 I give this film a 10!
"Easy Rider: 40th Anniversary" was hailed by Time Magazine as "one of the ten most important pictures of the decade" and entered the Library of Congress National Registry in 1998 because the film showcases America during that volatile time back in the late 60's.

Annoying ET theme music.

THOUGHTS: I have loved this movie ever since first catching it on cable decades ago. It is one of those movies that you never get tired of, the kind where if you come across it on TV you'll settle in and watch it, no matter how far along into the film it is. Writer/director Tom Holland crafts a full-blooded film that takes many of the time-honored vampire tropes and embraces them, while at the same time adding new wrinkles, all without smudging the trappings we've come to know and love about the genre. Every actor here is putting in A+ work, with only Charlie's mom coming across as over the top/farcical in her performance, (though it's still not too far-out and, thankfully, her needed presence is brief). Chris Sarandon as new pain-in-the-neck neighbor Jerry Dandridge is smooth & suave yet also frighteningly threatening... yet still a little sad. Young William Ragsdale makes for a wholesomely good all-American boy next door as our hero, Charlie Brewster. Amanda Bearse, as Charlie's girlfriend Amy, is both a quirky cutie pie and a smoldering seductress (post neck-bite). Stephen Geoffreys is hilarious and appropriately scatterbrained as Charlie's dorky monster nerd pal, 'Evil' Ed. And rounding out the main cast, is legendary thesp Roddy McDowell, playing an in-joke former sort-of 'star' as Peter Vincent. Vincent is on his last legs; eking out a living milking his tarnished status as a former horror film icon to host a chintzy local late night creature feature TV show (which, much to his bitter disappointment, has just been cancelled). He lives in the rose-colored past, pompously clinging to his former (not so glorious) glory days. The character arc for Peter is wonderful, and lifelong yeoman actor McDowell masterfully exploits his character's hidden strengths and abundant weaknesses to their fullest. His transformation from bitter, self-important fop to fearless slayer of all things evil is a joy to behold. (And his quiet monologue in his apartment when Amy & Ed come to visit him is unexpectedly touching.) Truthfully, the man should've gotten the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance, or at the very least a nomination. He did however win the Saturn Award in that category that year, so his work in FRIGHT NIGHT wasn't completely ignored.
Couldn't be happier.

Essentially, `Bottle Rocket' is about 3 young men.  1.) Anthony (Luke Wilson) - a somewhat caring, laid back and under-motivated dude.  2.)  His pal Dignan (Owen Wilson) - an extremely motivated - albeit misguided  - and overly energetic guy, who is perhaps a little clueless. And 3.) Bob - a guy who always wears Reservoir Dog-esque suits; Bob seems frequently annoyed by Dignan's antics but puts up with him because he is kind of lonely.

Without a male heir, Downton Abbey will go to another branch of the family.  In both programs:  (1) family members die (or appear to die) on the Titanic, (2) the young men are involved in World War I (in each, the principal young male character, after being missing in action, returns home gravely wounded; in each household, one of the domestic servants suffers from shell shock); (3) a young female member of the family becomes a wartime nurse; (4) a young woman dies from influenza; (5) there is a downstairs romance; (6) there is a homosexual footman; (6) a male aristocrat refuses to take responsibility for a child he has fathered by a maid; (7) an adventurous young daughter gets into trouble from her involvement in the suffrage movement; (8) the cook is courted by an unworthy suitor; (9) the question arises as to who will fill in for the ailing butler; (10) the household feels obliged to dismiss an unsatisfactory nanny; and (11) the family suffers from making bad investments.

Moving on, the movie tries to create a 60s feeling, and to a great deal they succeed. We see John Steed gradually walk through a series of 'obstacles' to test his spy abilities. Uma Thurman and John Steed meet, and right away, we see that Uma Thurman does not always play by the established rules. We are lead to believe that Uma Thurman has sabotaged her own project, and of course we know that that is a little too obvious. So, Mrs Peel and John end up working together to find the real problem.

8662	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Annoying!! My daughter loves this movie but I hate it. It drives me nuts. The acting is terrible (even for a kid's show) and it goes on forever. Better lessons on sharing and not being greedy have been taught in less than 20 minutes but this is a full length film. All the crazy stuff going on takes away from the actual message. The songs are horrible. But my daughter loves Elmo, so she loves it. That's really all this movie has going for it.
Ronnie Neary not only can't understand Roy's mood-swing from his encounter, she doesn't want to know anything about it. Something has been planted in Roy's mind, presumably by the aliens during his encounter, and he can't reconcile the image and its meaning. But Ronnie only fears what she doesn't understand. Roy doesn't do himself any favors when he turns his family upside down, but neither does his family attempt to find out what's troubling him. Fear becomes her dominating emotion while Roy is desperate to understand. The US military acts similarly to Ronnie as they want no outside interference in regards to the alien encounters, and continually deny the presence of these encounters.

Now, with that out of the way, it's obvious that Besson took many liberties in his interpretation of the LEGEND of Jean d'Arc.  He never claimed to be portraying the events exactly as they happened.  After all, a good portion of the film takes place in the mind of Jean, and no one--not even historians--know what that was really like.  If you want a history lesson, watch PBS or the History Channel.  If you want a thrilling, disturbing, inspiring, gorgeous, brilliant, and innovative lesson in true Christianity, then watch this movie.  That's what this movie is all about--Christianity.  In a sense it's an anti-Catholicism film; however, it urges a close relationship with God.  It displays the horrors of giving over to one's personal desires and ignoring the message of Jesus Christ.  The film is an indictment of misinterpretation of the Bible and of feelings of superiority over others.  It's not "about" Jean d'Arc!  It just uses her--a well-respected and almost idolized figure--to get across a vital message.  That message is that we mere humans--all of us, including priests, popes, and saints--can not begin to fathom the purpose of existence, that we do not have the wisdom or the right to judge others, and that giving over to our worldly desires will be the end of us.

Then there's that one great thing about having this flick on disc: I no longer have to hang out at the local midnight cult-matinee bijou! Nevermore must I stoically suffer the Python uber-geeks' annoying verbatim reciting of entire scenes from the flick and/or TV eppies, complete with really bad attempts at Cockney brogues and worse comic timing. Please, take a hint and leave British sketch comedy to the professionals, all right? Sheesh- and just when I thought Trekkies trying to imitate the halting speech patterns of Captain Kirk set the benchmark for obnoxious geek fandom! But, at least the Pythonphiles don't throw Spam or voles at the screen, like those black-leather-teddy-&-bustier-clad (and the women are dressed strangely as well!)

The film tells the story of orphan Annie who escapes the clutches of the evil Miss Hannigan when billionaire Oliver Warbucks decides to let an orphan live with him in his mansion for a week; and Annie is that orphan.  After a week of fun and games (and singing and dancing) Oliver decides (with a little prodding from the lovely Grace) to adopt Annie, but there is a problem.  Annie is waiting for her mother and father to come back for her, and so Warbucks decides to help her in every way he can to find her parents.  What Hannigan and her evil brother Rooster have in store for Annie (and Warbucks) is another story all together.
I haven't said all that much about the plot so far, but there isn't really that much to say.  Travis drives the cab, fixates on the two females, muses on and on and eventually loses it at the violent finale.  But man, there are some great individual scenes stuffed in this frame:  Travis picks up a deranged man (played by Scorsese) who gives a chilling monologue about his plans to punish his unfaithful spouse; Travis converses with Wizard (A great turn from Peter Boyle) about life; We see Bickle's bizarre training regimen in his apartment as he prepares for the end; Travis humiliates himself horribly when he tries to go after Betsy. These individually great scenes all come together in climax that is absolutely stunning and brutal.

Almost Every day Rumpole walked over to "Pommeroy's" wine bar on Fleet Street, which is also within walking distance of the Old Bailey. There he could order glasses of his favorite red wine, "Pommeroy's Plonk" or "Chateau Thames Embankment" on the slate. He could also have a chat with other members of chambers: Portia's husband Erskine-Brown or perhaps chamber's clerk, Henry Trench (Jonathan Coy). Henry was efficient, unhappily married, and an amateur dramatics enthusiast, frequently appearing in works by Nol Coward.
It's interesting watching Bickle trying to escape his miserable existence. He figures out how to buy and use weapons and starts working out to strengthen his body. All the while, there's mounting tension, and we sense that Bickle is close to losing touch with reality completely.

The DVD features a "making of featurette," film trailer, and both Widescreen / Full-Screen versions.

Blu-ray Special Features and Extras:

The series ran for five seasons from 1971 to 1975. The primary setting for the show is 165 Eaton Place, a roomy townhouse, and the time frame spans Edwardian England, the First World War up till 1930. The series explores the lives of the upper-class Bellamy's (upstairs) and their servants (downstairs), and some of the themes covered during the show is the difference between the upper and lower classes, societal changes, the suffragette movement, marital strife, relationship problems, and the plight of the poor, among others.

6679	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	This is quite possibly one of the worst films ever conceived.  Not just made, but conceived.  Milla Jovovich can't act her way out of a wet paper bag.  I thought The Fifth Element illustrated that.  The following people wasted their time and talent on this project: Dustin Hoffman, John Malcovich, Tchky Karyo, Faye Dunaway.  The insane in your face cinematography and the disturbing screaming and gestures of Jovovich's are just awful.  Why does Bravo: The Film and Arts Network include this in their 5-Star Cinema series?  It's fertilizer.

Robert Musgrave rounds out the trio and gives a delightfully quirky performance as the awkward one who endures constant abuse from his brother.

This film is solid storytelling.  There is never a dull moment.  BUY the DVD.  Its worth seeing the original unedited version.

6372	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	There was a time, long, long ago when the Silver Screen was reserved for for classics, for art, for the Golden Age of Hollywood. Those days are long gone. But at least movies had that special time. Video Games will never be regarded in this way. No matter how realistic and frightening the Resident Evil games can be the world of gaming will never be able to shed the geeky image of friendless, degenerate nerds playing for 11-hours straight. There's no glamour or admiration to be had here. And with the worlds of movies and video games merging closer and closer together (whether we like it or not) we can only expect a Sonic the Hedgehog live action movie soon (and some studio exec will probably cast Ben Affleck in the title role). I may sound like I'm talking nonsense, but, when you think about it...not really. We've already had a Super Mario Bros. movie and Double Dragon and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation and Alone in the Dark.

Scott/Susannah York version of Jane Eyre, the Toby Stephens/Ruth Wilson version of Jane Eyre and the Ciaran Hinds/Samantha Morton version of Jane Eyre--yes, it's one of my favorite movies. Without a doubt, Ciaran Hinds' portrayal of Rochester is head and shoulders above Timothy Dalton as well as Toby Stephens. I do like Toby Stephens but Ciaran Hinds' facial expressions, his emotional portrayal of Rochester is unparalleled.  Samantha Morton is a wonderful Jane, plain yet with an inner beauty, stoic and strong, unemotional on the surface but in love with Mr. Rochester.  She was the ideal actress for this role. I was very disappointed with the portrayal of Jane in the Timothy Dalton/Zelah Clark version, for one thing Zelah Clark is so short compared to Dalton, I couldn't watch the movie without thinking she looked like a child in height yet older in her face than Dalton--it was very distracting for me.  She also does not have the range of acting and emotion Samantha Morton gives in her performance--Clark is very bland compared to Morton.  As much as I like Timothy Dalton, he isn't Rochester. The George C. Scott/Susannah York version is good, I really liked George C. Scott as Rochester but not as much as Hinds. Susannah York comes closer to Samantha Morton as Jane than any of the other versions but Samantha Morton still excels in this part.

The last third of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS, secretly filmed in an Alabama warehouse, has some of the most spectacular visual effects in movie history and won Vilmos Zsigmond a Cinematography Oscar for his brilliant work, in tandem with at least five other cinematographers all over the world, including Douglas Slocombe in northern India.  (The great Douglas Trumbull gets Visual Effects credit, along with Spielberg.)  Legendary French filmmaker Francois Truffaut has a nice supporting role as a French scientist who initially wants to know what Dreyfuss knows.  But he turns out benign.  This was one of the first mainstream Hollywood movies to treat extra-terrestrials sympathetically.  (Spielberg's E.T. was still five years in the future.)  And it is still one of the best ever, helped immeasurably by John Williams' ethereal score and an innate intelligence toward UFOs.  Young Guffey's final scene is particularly lovely as he waves goodbye to the departing spaceship.

Anybody familiar with German director Wolfgang Petersen will recognize the affinity between "Air Force One" and his earlier classic U-boat thriller "Das Boot"/"The Boat" (1981). The casting of "Das Boot" star Jurgen Prochnow as the heinous General Radek aids in this comparison. Moreover, Petersen sends his highly mobile and energetic cameras plunging about the corridors of "Air Force One" with the same dexterity that they swept through the hull of the sub in "Das Boot." Despite a connect-the-dots plot, Petersen makes every dot a fire storm of intensity. The scene where the President's jet careens wildly across the airfield in Germany and nearly crashes is pretty harrowing.

Oded Fehr does pretty a pretty good job with the limited character Carlos Olivera, he's never too macho and his character is quite likable (much like Nicholai was). Most of all the music is well fitted and plays best on the most important parts of movie overall. Best of all, Resident Evil: Apocalypse deals heavily with the video games in only a way the fanboys of the games would recognize. All in all this movie was up-to-specs and majorly different from the horde of Horror movies concerning the Undead that came out in 2004. There are indeed, plot holes big enough to stick your finger through but this does nothing to diminish the movie's high-rate enjoyment. Purchase this movie if your a fan of Milla Jovovich or the Resident Evil series, but consider this movie with an open mind. This movie contains brief scenes of nudity, mild-swearing, gory scenes, frightening images, and nonstop action violence (Written by Paul Anderson, Directed by Alexander Witt). FYI: The female protagonists, Jill and Alice are not "scantly dressed" they're quite covered with clothing for combat and easy mobility -----[a 5 out of 5]

You may of course feel differently, but the movie as it stands remains largely a psychological study of two men, rather than any war-action piece.
The singing is spotty, the musical numbers are all over the place, the little girl is highly annoying, the film is borderline preposterous and Albert Finney looks bored but we never are (bored that is).  The great thing about `Annie' is that no matter how bad it really is you can't help but like it.

I'd rather not go too much into a plot synopsis. If you have read "Luke," you probably already have an idea of what is to follow. I can however say that the film is done with a beautiful style that has dignity and is not overdone. Brian Deacon (Jesus) doesn't play the role with the same intensity that Robert Powell did in "Jesus of Nazareth." But Deacon gives the role a gentle dignity. He gives a real feeling of beauty to the lessons. And while he doesn't have the same fierceness during Jesus' frustrations as Robert Powell did, we can feel his frustration when he gets annoyed.

In conclusion, if you dare watch this insufferable abomination, you had better have a pair of "frownies" on hand; Rochester's scowl is that infectious!

 I love this movie. It has truly sad moments, and many powerful scenes, this film is a time capsule in the best way possible, given a good state of hippie culture at the tie this film was released, and should be mandatory viewing along with "Woodstock" to give a broad picture of those turbulent times. This was the first movie to EVER to rock(I mean rock, not rock'n roll, which truly are two separate types of music) music in it  as the soundtrack. This is a landmark film, it has major killer tunes from The Byrds, Steppen Wolf, Jimmy Hendrix, and many others.

THE GAME! that's right! so not only is it a great action sequence, but also taking from the game as well for the fans. this is how you make good action movies and people will not relize that this is one. has there been a good action movie lately without a bunch of CG effects in it that makes it look cartoonish? this movie uses alittle, but it mostly stunts, and that is how most of them should be.

9847	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	IIn some dystopian future, date unspecified, our descendants are on the cusp of a brave new world in which designer babies become the norm. Shortly before this technological achievement our hero comes upon the scene with all of the normal faults and frailties that mortal flesh is usually heir to. Having forked out for the specs necessary to redress the faults in his vision his parents decide to spend their cash second time around ensuring his brother has no need of such artificial aids. In due course the younger son surpasses his brother in the usual childhood games and is well on the way to fulfilling all of his parents aspirations and repaying their investment when Vincent, the elder and imperfect son, decides that his home life isn't doing his self esteem any favours and leaves to find his imperfect way in the perfect world bequeathed to his favoured sibling. He obtains a job as a cleaner at Gattaca, an institution whose existence depends upon selecting and training only the most ideal human specimens to continue humanity's quest for the stars. Demonstrating that crime is always a corollary of social injustice the movie has Vincent obviously managing to save enough from his cleaner's wage to take advantage of the black market in false identities and we meet Jude Law, the antithesis of Vincent in many ways: the golden boy made bad. They `swap' identities and Vincent becomes the `perfect' Jerome and begins to take pleasure in all the fruits that perfect specimens, or `valids' enjoy as part of their birthright, including those provided by off-screen wife, Uma Thurman in the person of the perfectly lovely Irene. He gets accepted for flight crew training at Gattaca and loses no opportunity to gaze at the stars his soon to be destination if all goes well!
Fonda and Hopper arrive in New Orleans at the height of Mardi Gras, and cavort around an Orleans cemetary with two hookers (Toni Basil, Karen Black) during an acid trip.  But dismayed by what they've seen, they beat a hasty retreat and continue east.  Fonda realizes the futility of their journey now.  He tells Hopper, "We blew it."  Their journey comes to an end on a Florida highway when Hopper flicks off two rednecks in a truck, who then proceed to blow both him and Fonda off the road.
These two very different brothers are the focus of the story.  They love to fly fish, and enjoy this one sport with their strict but loving father.  Norman comes home from college and sees his brother's life become unraveled by the usual sins of gambling, wild women and drinking.

Certainly one of the less known Anderson films, this one still comes highly recommended, just not as highly as his more recent works.

Although this sequel clearly had a much bigger budget than the original film, director Alexander Witt has kept it credible and didn't use digital technology to bombard your senses and keep your mind of the lack of a decent storyline. Rather than making you feel like you're watching a computer- made movie where nothing seems real, the special effects help create a desolate and panicky atmosphere with credible characters who struggle to survive in a city that's infested with their undead compatriots, partially decayed K-9s and other creepy lifeforms. The scene where one survivor has to go up against a class of elementary school zombies is just terrifying.
-An American Christmas Carol is unique in many ways. Slade doesn't believe he's evil or even a miser; he's just a practical businessman.

The real clincher for me that decided its three star rating was the commentary.  It presents the situation of four (the most I've ever heard) people in a room: Milla, Michelle, producer Jeremy Bolt, and director Paul W.S. Anderson.  Because of this turmoil, the commentary plays like having four people behind you at the theater: three film students, and their ditzy blonde friend, with Milla playing the part of the latter.  I loved her as Leeloo, and I think she's an accomplished and attractive actress, but damn, is she annoying.  The commentary rarely answers any questions that the viewer might have about the film, and when the director or producer is about to, Milla typically interrupts to talk about her topless scene, or something else trivial.

The insight we gain into Travis's character could not have been done any better: we see Travis as the outsider who watches New York City and its people go by as people take rides in his taxi cab.

2597	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	This movie is the best proof that stage comedies do not transfer well to the screen.  The comedy lines that play well on stage sound forced and badly delivered in a movie and it's like they are trying to make the first part of the movie all comedy lines.  The badly done comedy scenes are spaced here and there throughout the movie.  I think it's just badly directed because some of the comedy lines are really funny but they sound so forced and artificial that you just cringe.  The drama scenes are for the most part very well done and well acted.  It's a good story with a lot of very good characters.  I found the forced southern accents badly done.

I was not expecting much from this film, being the only reason I purchased it was to add to my collection of Jessica Alba films, but I was greatly surprised with the results.  The film is a perfect blend of horror related comedy, kind of amongst the lines of other horror-comedy films such as "Shaun of the Dead", "Young Frankenstein", "Evil Dead" and more recently "Zombieland".  Being a blend of these two genres means that one cannot take the film seriously, so do not expect award winning writing or acting, it's meant more as a parody of the horror genre.  As long as you know what to expect from this movie you will gladly enjoy a few good laughs and find yourself indulging in a highly underrated film.

In many ways, Williamss talent didn't exactly mesh with the silver screen, but he had so much obvious ability that you had to find a way to use him or you weren't being true to the concept of art.  In some films he gives tremendous reserved performances such as in Good Will Hunting, but I think that unless directors can utilize the mania, they really aren't taking full advantage of what Williams can do.

As cinema, it's just plain dull; the photography is washed-out (as it was even when the film was new), the zoom lens is overused, and the special effects, minimal as they are, get really cheesy.

One thing we learn immediately about Chaney.  This middle-aged man can obliterate opponents.  He is hard but not sadistic.  He just doesn't believe wasting time or anything else.

While we immediately know he can take care of himself, the only question is will he take care of anyone else?
This is a great cat-and-mouse thriller, that just happens to be about a vampire instead of a mere serial killer.  The script is clever, the performances good.  Chris Sarandon is charming and menacing, in equal measure, as Dandridge.  Roddy McDowall gets to play cowardly hero as the first person Charlie gets to believe him  -  a late-night horror movie host/has-been actor, who sets out to cure Charlie of his "delusion" and instead meets the devil next door.  A pre-Married With Children adorable Amanda Bearse plays Charlie's girlfriend.
Now the bad: The Blu-Ray version doesn't have any extras except for Director's Commentary (which was on the DVD) and "Blu-Ray Live."  A serious disappointment for me!

The criticism for the film's lack of historical accuracy makes me laugh.  Some reviewers fervently deride some of the films events, as if they were witnesses to the historical reality.  These events happened almost 600 years ago.  Much of the "facts" about Joan's life come from testimony twenty years after her death, when her family was trying to reverse the guilty verdict.  Joan was already a legend, and the testimony of her reality was certainly already tinged by her fame.

Chaney idly wanders into an illicit prize fight.  This isn't a boxing arena with its Marquis of Queensbury rules.  This is bare knuckle street fighting where there are no referees and few rules.  Head butts, biting and kicking along with kidney punches are perfectly legal.  Each fighter works with a gambler.  Odds are given and bets are taken.  Then the mayhem begins.
The two children, Sarandon's and Harris' children are played extremely well.  For their ages, they act similar to what would happen.  The younger boy doesn't feel much different except asks 'mommy, if you want me to hate her [meaning Julia Roberts], I will' - typical for a young boy to side with his mother but also not be angry at the other woman in his fathers life only because he doesn't quite understand yet.  The daughter however is like pin point.  She's angry and doesn't seem to give Isabelle [Roberts] a chance.  When Isabelle brings home a puppy to try and win her love, she exclaims she's allergic to dogs but is actually lying.  She doesn't want Isabelle to think she is giving her any part of her.  She "hates" her.  The movie is mainly focused on how Anna hates Isabelle and how they bond.  The unrealistic part is how Roberts character and Sarandon's character coexist towards the end.  I'm not saying it could never happen but it's a little over the top.  In all, this is a good family film, a good movie for people going through that type of situation, I somewhat wished I had seen it before or while I was going through the same thing.

The movie's quite simple: after a very strange encounter with bright flying lights one evening, everyman Roy Neary starts experiencing compulsions and visions related to a particular mountain and a particular strain of music. Apparently people all over the world are also having similar encounters and subsequent visions. The visions draw Roy and his compatriots to a Wyoming mountain, where all signs point to an impending world-shaking encounter with aliens. Meanwhile, the American government is also aware of the impending meeting; its agents are doing everything they can to secure the area. Roy must evade these agents to reach the mountain so he can respond to the celestial invitation he's been given. It's a slow burn of a movie, more about how someone normal responds to an extraordinary situation than about the actual mechanics of aliens and spaceships. It doesn't whizbang with car chases and shootouts, but that's a big part of its charm (when a group of government scientists break into an office in one scene to steal a large globe, I cheer every time that thing thumps into the hallway as they roll it away--it's such a human moment; yes, they don't really need the globe, but it's so exciting to see anyway). And when someone considers the year in which this movie was made, its special effects become all the more impressive. I find these older movies very charming because their special effects had to be made by hand.

In an interview with Film Comment magazine, Spielberg once summed up his abilities by saying, "I sort of know what works." It's true. What's also true is Close Encounters works despite making very little sense - if start asking obvious questions the whole story begins to fall apart. No matter. Spielberg communicates subliminally to moviegoers so effectively that they willingly buy on, whatever the logical shortcomings. Along with the director's considerable skills at cinematic storytelling, the movie boasts dazzling and groundbreaking visual effects by Douglas Trumbull; gorgeous, Oscar-winning cinematography by Vilmos Zsigmond, and possibly the best work that composer John Williams has ever done.

They are, simply, very good zombie movies - lots of campy fun, great action, and even some genuine scares.  They're just fun to watch, and one of the big reasons for that is Milla - who looks great and is just perfect for this role, simultaneously strong and vulnerable.  (An earlier review said these were among her first films - in fact, she has been acting since 1991, when she famously appeared nude at age 14 in "Return to the Blue Lagoon".  She is a veteran actress with nearly 20 films to her credit.)
This movie made me stop and think, in the not to distant future this could happen.

7. The Elevator
And for a bit of trivia:  It was in this episode that Barbara Eden was pregnant.  The extensive veil from her headpiece wrapped about her midsection hid her pregnancy.  Eden's first husband would later play the wicked genie - 'The Blue Djinn' - who imprisoned Jeannie in the first color episode of the series.  These facts are from the book "Dreaming of Jeannie: TV's Primetime in a Bottle", by Steve Cox -- which I own.

9367	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Truth be told, I HATE when people call things "classic" because it's usually a word used to describe many things that don't deserve such a designation.  To call somehting classic, it has to have been absorbed so completely into society that it's essentially common knowledge.  Monty Python and the Holy Grail is such a thing.  If one doubts this, just go up to practically anyone and say "I am Arthur, King of the Britons" and I'll bet you 9 out of 10 will reply in falsetto female voice "I didn't know we had a king!"  Thus is the phenomenon that is Holy Grail.  This special edition delivers a great deal of additional fun as well, including a facinating tour of Holy Grail shooting locations from Michael Palin and Terry Jones, and the entire script can be superimposed as you watch(yeah, like we all don't know the lines already) Bottom line:  GET THIS DVD, and BRING ME SOME SHRUBBERIES!!!!!!

But the war is only a part of the story line, albeit an important one. We come to know the Bellamys and their servants almost as well as our own family. In fact, they seem to become a part of our family, so real are the stories and the performances of the actors. Rarely have actors in a television series ever been able to provide so much depth of characterization. This is due largely to the fine direction and superb dialogue of the scripts for each episode of the series.

Robert DeNiro, already a veteran or soon-to-be-star of many classics of the period, owns Bickles' troubled soul and is thoroughly believable of a failed "hero."

A word should be said about the special features here: while it's a treat to have a ticket to the less ambitious "Resident Evil: Apocalypse", fans of the original will find the six segments on the special effects centerpieces of the film tasty, particularly in the mix between good old-fashioned animatronics and CGI. The alternate ending is amusing for completists, if only to show just how critical a solid editor can be. And without a doubt, the hysterical main commentary track with Anderson, Jovovich, and Rodriguez is worth the price of admission alone. Lucky, lucky Paul Anderson.

The Bizarre Storyline provides Ample Shocks and Sniggers, but it Never really strives for Outright Horror or Comedy, it aims for the Middle ground and it claims it well. Critics have attacked the film for it's Gross out Violence and Dim-witted humour... But isn't that what the Audiences want.
In my opinion, this was an excellent Bridges movie, slightly reminiscent of his Lebowski character.  Also, this was a good, although fairly unheard of, Williams film.  I recommend this movie because it's a good mix of humor and seriousness.  Also the movie is built with a good group of leading actors.  This movie is good for your extensive film collection.

3957	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	First of all let me just say that this movie has the worst anticlimatical ending of all time: there's no verbal or telepathic communications established with the aliens, no sense of what their intentions are, no reason mentioned for why they've abducted people, no reason to explain why Richard Dreyfuss' character is the "chosen one", and worst of all we (the audience) are left to believe that a stupid little hand gesture means that everything is all hunky-dory with the aliens- case closed, everything is all right with the aliens because Steven Spielberg says so. Don't worry about cattle mutilations or any of those other violent abductions you've been hearing about, everything's all fine and dandy.
OTOH, things like the logjam on the Step, the suddenness of the storm, the effects of running out of oxygen on climbers, are done well.  It's only once the storm hits that things go far off accuracy again, with the Krakauer being involved in the rescues and coordination more than he was.

A little bit of comedy is supplied by the always-funny Seth Greene (who plays Mick) and his buddy Pnub (Elden Henson).  These two, along with Anton, are the triumvirate of lazy, pot-smoking teens (just the type of victim said hand likes to prey upon).  Probably the funniest part of the film involves the reappearance of an undead Pnub and Mick (who carries his severed head around with him most of the time); the staircase to heaven, they said, was just too far to walk, so they decided to just stay on earth.  The only bright spot in this film, and the only reason I wanted to see it, is Jessica Alba.  I was somewhat amazed to see some of the facial expressions and attitudes she would later display in her role in the incredibly good TV series Dark Angel.

3822	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	IDLE HANDS is a movie that I remember always being on the USA Network when I was really young, and I remember it was a sick movie. It still is, but now older (but not wiser), I see this movie for how it should be seen: a twisted little gem that turns the Dawson's Creek world inside out. Yes, SCREAM did it too, but for some reason, the way IDLE HANDS shows us a guy that loves the girl next door and has two dumb buddies like every bad teen movie ever makes the fact that the movie is about a stoner that kills his parents and best friends (who come back as freaking zombies) with his possessed right hand (hi, Ash) so much sweeter. Yes, maybe I'm reading too much into it, but this movie really is underrated in my opinion. It has great music (especially The Offspring's version of The Ramones' I WANNA BE SEDATED), a clever script, great performances (especially by Seth Green & Elden Henson as the zombified buddies Mick and Pnub, who didn't walk up the stairway to Heaven because "it was too far"), and sly direction by Rodman Flender, who has done TALES FROM THE CRYPT episodes, which at times this movie shares its tone with. Overall, IDLE HANDS is great for horror fans that like their horror with a wink and a nod, and it even throws in some unnecessary nudity, just like the good ol' days.
Here is an interesting bit of trivia:  The profits from Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" album helped finance this movie.  The members of Pink Floyd were supposedly big fans of the television show.

In this wonderfully realized, highly imaginative film that is extremely well crafted and presented by Spielberg, he takes you along with Roy in the days that follow that strange occurrence in Muncie.  Roy becomes lost in thought, drifting, unable to focus on anything, much to the consternation of his wife, Ronnie (Teri Garr).  But he can't help himself; something-- an image-- has begun to form in his mind.  He has no idea what it is or what it means, but it becomes an obsession, and slowly it begins to take shape:  First in a handful of shaving cream, then in a plate of mashed potatoes, which he piles up and begins to sculpt with his fork, while Ronnie and his kids look on in bewilderment.  But he can see it in his mind, and it's like a mountain-- a mountain shaped like a "tower."  And Roy isn't the only one.  Around the world, others are being drawn to the same image in their minds, and it's a force that compels them, pushing them on to find whatever it is, a power so strong in cannot be denied or refused.  They know only one thing:  Whatever it is, it's important, and they have no choice but to follow where it may lead.  And it becomes a great adventure, one in which they discover what Man has long suspected:  We are not alone.

How the life of a hippie really was. His experiences with drugs and love and rejection from society.
If you want the less sappy explanation -- it's a disillusionment archetype with an archplot structure. A character has certain ideals and those ideals change through his experience. We are carried through the story from his perspective and see why this happened. At the end, we are led to believe he is completely and irreversibly changed.

Above all, though, Resident Evil is not to be dismissed as just another video game adaptation thrown haphazardly together just to make money.  This film has substance, subplots, and surprises to go along with the generally impressive special effects and, for my money, pretty good acting.

The film does feel like a lot of one-shot sketches strung together into a full-length film, however, and at times the humor can wear a little thin.  This is probably best viewed as a party movie, or a piece at a time instead of in a single sitting by oneself.  Though I'm sure it could make for some hilarious drinking games or quote-along experiences.

957	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	For some reason it seems fashionable to criticize this production, mainly because it carries old footage from Masterpiece Theatre, hosted by Russell Baker.  Further, this film was sponsored by Mobil Oil Co. and produced by the BBC.  In addition, some reviewers may see it competing with the classic starring John Mills and Alec Guinness from 1947.  Moreover, since this 1999 film was made, weve had the 2011 production starring Gillian Anderson and other versions, as well.  But viewers who fail to see this 3-hour epic from 1999 are really missing the best rendition of what may be Charles Dickens best novel.  The story is timeless and inspiring; the romance, touching and well-portrayed.  TV simply cant be better than this.
A film nor of sorts, with beautiful scenes of New Orleans and music to frame appropriate scenes.  The movie is a history of how prize fighting started and what it takes to be a man in hard times.

Jeff Daniels gives a wonderful performance as Washington and lifts the movie above the usual mediocrity of most made-for-TV-movies. All too often, actors are cast to play historic characters they just do not fit. In this case, not only does Daniels bear a passable resemblance to Washington, but he conveys the concern, insecurity, impatience, and determination the general admitted to feeling in his letters and correspondence.

Another interesting function  is that you can compare the film with the screenplay simultanously, and  understand how Scorsese preserved the structure of Schrader's script while  filling in more details that makes the characters and the story alive. This  DVD is really worth buying if you like the movie. You can see it  repeatedly, and learn a great deal about how it was made. But I think  Criterion should re-issue their version (with audio commentary by Scorsese  and Schrader) on DVD as well (and also Raging Bull).

6686	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	First off, for all the real Resident Evil fans who love the video game. You will not be disappointed by this movie. The detail gone into the sets like the mansion, the zombie dogs, the sound effects, even the way some of the characters talk is like Resident Evil-the game. The music is innovative, exciting and moves the movie along nicely. Each scene is filled with action and there is not a scene in the movie that is slow or bogs the movie down. Mansons music is great. Milla Jovovich is perfect as the lead kick arse character Alice. Michelle Rodriquez is excellent as the tough as nails Rain. Not one actor is miss casted in this film. I'm so glad director Paul W.S. Anderson did the film right, justice has prevailed. When I first heard that a Resident Evil movie was getting made I instantly thought that some hot new upcoming actors would be cast ie( No this can't happen), but no I was over the moon and over joyed when I found out that Milla Jovovich- one of THE BEST ACTORS around and of her generation,was going to play the lead. I then knew that this film had a chance of being grouse. So if your thinking of buying this film, it is a diffinite must for any fan of the genre. The extras are worth it and the commentary is excellent and very funny.

Rumpole of the Bailey, staring Leo McKern and written by Sir John Mortimer, is a very enjoyable series of shows. You will love watching every one of the 42 episodes. Horace Rumpole is the essence of being "an Old Bailey Hack". He loves being in court exchanging banter with a red judge. It's all seems easy going until you realize that Rumpole is deadly serious and is only happy when he succeeds in getting a "Not Guilty" ruling from the jury of twelve, tried and true members. Horace Rumpole does not agree that being on trial implies guilt; it is the prosecutions job to prove, using factual arguments and evidence, that the accused is guilty beyond all reasonable doubt. He enjoys nothing more than skillful cross examination.  He is a staunch believer in the presumption of innocence and the "Golden Thread of British Justice. Rumpole is very proud of his success as a junior in the Penge Bungalow Murders case where he put on the defense as a white wig, alone and without a leader.

To me, that is what most undermines the film -- I would much rather have seen more time spent on Parton and MacLaine, and even Dukakis, whose lives, in the brief glimpses we are given, seem much more interesting, and whose characters are by far much more alive and vibrant. Their barbs and quips are a compelling reason alone to watch this movie again and again!

He knows they love him yet they are so concerned over their own feelings they display little emotion toward their only son. and never say or show their love for him.
Though I found the personae of both Ms. Shepherd and Ms. Foster somewhat off-putting and incongruous, their respective characters serve the narrative well.  A Betsy who's a little less "ideally beautiful" and an Iris who's a little more mature would have suited the tone of the film much better, in my opinion.  Travis's abject social ineptitude belies his Marine training (A porno flick on a first date?  C'mon!), not to mention the absurdity of Betsy having anything to do with Travis in the first place. (I never knew Kris Kristofferson could so warp a beautiful woman's senses!)  One could point out a myriad of such incongruities in Taxi Driver; but I must admit that the possibility of the film's coda being Travis's dying fever dream never crossed my mind. It would certainly make more sense than a straight literal reading and puts an added interesting spin on it.  Any shortcomings aside, the film's sheer "cinematicism" is truly a wonder and a reason to have it in one's collection.  De Niro's portrayal of "God's lonely man" is one of the most memorable in late twentieth century American filmdom, only to be surpassed by him a few years later in Scorsese's masterpiece Raging Bull.

At the center of the story are Sally Field's M'Lynn, who is mother to Julia Roberts' Shelby, who is marrying Jackson.  Everyone gets their hair done at Truvy's (played by Dolly), but the chief currency at the beauty parlor is gossip, traded with most enthusiasm by widowed Clairee (played by Dukakis) and with most bark and a little bite by Ouiser (Maclaine).  As the film opens Darryl Hannah's Annelle has blown into town not sure if she's married or not (good fodder for the gossipers) and ready to put her fledgeling beauty technician skills to work at Truvy's, just before Shelby's wedding.

This is a classic, and no one can ever take that away.  However, keep in mind that since this is a classic, it does not mean that you will like the movie.  I cannot tell you if you will like it or not, and neither can anybody else.  Just because "Citizen Kane" is a classic didn't change the fact that I didn't like that movie.

So I decided to find this movie again and found it here on Amazon and at the moment the only option available was to buy it and I went ahead and bought it because I wanted to watch it again. And I am glad I did. I am not really a religious person so don't know to much about how closely it follows biblical prophecies but one thing I know is that I can relate the messages in this movie (I know not the same things is occuring but the essense is the same) to what is going on in humanity at this time. We are living in a time of chaos and regardless of what race, color, religion you are the world needs healing. And Demi Moores character Abbi does a great job of bringing healing to the world. Which I think what she does is selfless and what she does (watch the movie to know) is what I think always brings transformation and healing to humanity and this is the most powerful message for me. Thank you.

1. Sinister corporate paranoia - The idea that things could go terribly wrong when the activities of large, greedy corporations are left unchecked is not exactly far-fetched. The creepy goings on at the Umbrella Corp present a currently relevent scenario.
Basic plot is that the Umbrella underground lab known as "The Hive" has had an outbreak of the T-virus, and everyone was killed. Milla Jovovich 's character awakes with no memory of what has happened, and is forced by Umbrella-sent commandos into the Hive to see what went on down there. Chaos ensues.

It is a piece of art, even the title and name of the facility is crafted to reflect the topic of the film, the letters in Gattaca comprise the letters of the proteins in DNA.  The messages in the film are nothing short of tremendous about the human will, turning our weaknesses into strengths, achieving our goals and the darker tendencies of society to categorize and box in our potential.  It is an emotional roller coaster you will never forget.  I can't recommend it highly enough.  If you liked the Shawshank Redemption, I thought this was a far better film.
Everyone knows what happened in the market square when Joan was nineteen on May 30, 1431. Five hundred years later she was canonized as a saint. [This is more than posthumous rehabilitation.] This is a very good story if slow and talky in spots. You can compare it to the earlier version with Ingrid Bergman, if you can find the video. The movie does not go into the political background of France and England. Later in the 15th century the English were involved in the Wars of the Roses.

1540	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This is probably the best film version I've seen of Jane Eyre. One of my friends, who is no fan of the book or the other film versions, commented that she "got" the characters for the first time when she caught a rerun on A&E and I'd have to agree. The essence of Jane and Rochester is all here: Passion. It's restrained in "plain and little" Jane, who inside is all rebelliousness, and smoldering in Rochester, who here is just as gruff and domineering and bad-tempered as he ought to be. Watching this film I can believe that this version of Rochester and Jane are passionately in love with one another. I don't believe that in the other versions I've seen, including the most recent PBS version. Cutting out portions of the book to get at the meat of the story was a wise decision that made for a much better film.

Calling this a "conservative" movie is a stretch, but it is a prescient look at New York attitudes that preceded the age of Giuliani. Paul Schrader wrote it. His story is a hoot in and of itself. He and his brother were raised in a strict Calvinist Pennsylvania family, emphasizing the strictest tenets of Scripture and absolutism. The Calvinists are big on pre-ordained destiny. Released from this environment, he came to Hollywood and tried everything. Naturally, he was a mess; a drug addict, an alcoholic and a heterosexual so confused he tried homosexuality just?to try it. Given the assignment to write a screenplay, he was holed up in a downtown L.A. hotel for weeks, then months. He had little social contact except occasional taxi rides to restaurants in and around L.A.'s skid row. He began to see the world from inside the taxi, and came up with a character and a plot revolving around the concept.

I have done some research in recent monts to find that the new version will be cheese and scan. That is a major turn off when I am buying my DVDs. I will stick to this version, for it is, if not already out of print. Dont get this movie,  this movie it very wide.

I think Paul Mercurio movies in general are great language learning tools.  They are so interesting that I don't mind watching them many times.

The pacing in this film is virtually flawless as the action, horror and comedy are shifted around from one scene to the other and boredom never sets in. The performances are also worth mentioning because the entire cast delivers in spades. Roddy McDowell, who provides his quirky mannerirms and charm, is his usual brilliant self as the doubtful Vampire Killer. Chris Sarandon is effective and charming as the modern day Dracula. A pre-"Married with Children" Amanda Bearse is also note-worthy. She is pretty enough as Charley's girlfriend possessing all the qualities of the girl next door and all the charateristics of a jealous girlfriend. Once infected however, her metamorphoses is stunning and she is almost unrecognizable as a sultry vamp. That is of course before her final transformation and once the fangs come into play, she resembles a Carly Simon-esque freakshow in need of serious dental work. The young lead, William Ragsdale, also turns in a good performance but his foolish character may have some viewers rooting for Mr Vampire. But where will the horror genre be without these nonsensical teenagers?
this will be a classic movie 120 years from now. I'm so watching this one more times then I can count. It truly shocks and rocks both at the same time

American losses were actually 2 dead from the march, and 4 wounded from the fight, including Hamilton and Monroe, the latter a future US President!  I don't know why the movie did not convey this.  The effects of Knox's artillery seems also much exaggerated.  Solid shot and cannister was used, not explosive shells as shown here.  Most films on this period fail to show artillery accurately in that regard.  Still, the acting and mood of the film are right on the mark which makes it easily the best Rev War production out there. Too bad it did not go further to show Washy's next great triumph at Princeton where a small British detachment gave him a much harder run for his money.  Still, what we have here is a nice concise work that comes close to converying the actual history of the event.  This is more than most Hollywood productions do these days.  Let's hope future movie producers draw upon this movie for inspiration rather than the PATRIOT and others like it.
-Very decent cutting. After watching the deleted scenes, I noticed they were enjoyable but would have made the movie feel more campy.

Rounding out the main cast are Tom Skerritt and Brenda Blethyn as Reverend and Mrs. McLean, the parents of Norman and Paul, and Emily Lloyd, as Norman's future wife Jessie. Skerritt and Blethyn are pitch perfect in their roles, each representing the traditional parental stereotypes, the stern father and the worrisome mother. Lloyd is sweet and charming as Jessie and her courtship with Norman is refreshing as it is simply the story of 2 people who found each other at the right time and place that realize they are each other's soulmates. Additionally, there is a diverse cast of scene-stealing supporting characters providing welcome comic relief played by Stephen Shellen (Jessie's brother), Edie McClurg (Jessies' mom), and especially Susan Traylor (as the local wild girl).

This world is fictional, but so are Never-Never Land, Middle Earth and most other worlds we visit in film, so as a native southerner I'm able to reconcile things like accents: Dolly is pretty stuck playing women with an East Tennessee twang, and to be honest I found Julia's accent no better than Olympia's.

Finally, superbly crafted and emotionally involving, Midnight Express often defeats the moral quagmire as presented in the film and the controversial aspects of its script through sheer film making brilliance. Managing to turn a drug-smuggling character into a sympathetic figure due to his disdainful treatment in a hellish foreign prison and taking liberties with a true story for dramatic and artistic. Midnight Express certainly deserves the accolades bestowed upon it at the Academy Awards despite the subject matter and controversial depiction thereof makes it a rather unique film in the annals of cinema. No matter one's take on this representation of Billy Hayes' story, there is no denying the artistic merits Midnight Express brings to the table, its superb technical achievements reason alone to watch. SONY's Blu-ray release of Midnight Express befits the film and there is plenty of bonus materials information with this brilliant beautiful "DigiBook" and that is why it has gone pride of place in my Blu-ray Collection. 30 years after its release, Midnight Express continues to impress. However harrowing and unpleasant, the film delivers a strong sense of dynamic verisimilitude [meaning the appearance of being true or real] and creates a good look at a miserable situation. The Blu-ray offers better than expected picture, acceptable but dated audio, and a few nice extras; the audio commentary proves particularly enjoyable and ever since I viewed this film, it has always burned an amazing image of viewing a great directed film, that deserved all the awards it garnered and on top of all that it also a very character driven film with a stunning script and now it has gone pride of place in my Deluxe Limited Edition DigiBook Blu-ray Collection. Highly Recommended!

1340	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I have seen this movie more than once and I am trying to understand the hostility it has generated. I am old enough to have seen the original TV series the first time around and while I remember it fondly, it was definitely a product of its time. What makes this film so enjoyable for me is that it is not merely trying to copy the old series but to reinvent it. Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman are John Steed and Emma Peel this time around. No they aren't Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg nor should they try to be. They have created their own version of the characters and they work quite well together. Their overwritten dialogue is overplayed with just the proper restraint. Sean Connery as Sir August, the principal villian, seems to be underplaying his role until you notice his eyes. Watch the eyes of all the characters. They are an important motif throughout the movie. Jim Broadbent's liquid eyes as "Mother" are full of knowledge and sympathy while Fiona Shaw's traitorous "Father" is literally blind to everything. Patrick Macnee (the original John Steed) has an important cameo as an invisible man. He holds the key to the mystery but he cannot be seen.

He forms an unsteady relationship with a beautiful woman named Betsy. And meets a teen prostitute (Foster) whom he is intent on rescuing from her controlling pimp (Keitel). Oh and he takes a slight interest in guns somewhere along the way. A brilliant film from a brilliant collaboration.

Overall, you can't fault the film because it's an entertaining romantic comedy that continues to stand the test of time and now it's available on Blu-ray ala High Def.  If you are a Steve Martin fan, "ROXANNE" is a film that deserves to be in your collection.  It's one of his best films (next to my favorite feat. Steve Martin, 1991's `L.A. Story') and definitely a film worth checking out!
Anderson, in the liner notes, is called a "fan" of the RE video game series. Coulda fooled me, since his big-screen adaptation hardly has anything to do with RE. For whatever reason (ego? studio execs with zero inspiration beyond $$$?), Anderson decided to script his own "prequel" to the events of the first RE game. The game was a slow-paced creepfest, all about atmosphere. This film is typical Hollywood tripe, full of kung-fu babes, lame one-liners, wooden acting, obnoxiously-loud industrial metal music, and cheap "things popping out of lockers" scares.

I'm sure everyone is aware of the plot, and that it's them making fun of the medieval times and king Arthur in his search for the Holy Grail.  I got it as a Christmas gift, and it's absolutely perfect!  The thing with this movie, is that it brings all its fans together over a wide age audience.  My uncle is a Monty Python fanatic and it's grown on me even before I knew he was.  The quotes you find yourself saying make it more enjoyable the next time you watch it.  The swallows, the virgins, the wedding, the witch, the 3 headed giant, the knights who say NI!  It's all perfect, it's got this shine to it, that will never disappear.  I've seen this movie so many times and well for me personally; it's never lost its touch.  I've seen the Spamalot play and even bought my own personal pair of coconuts. (*chuckles*)  Anyways, rent this and see for yourself.  You may not get all the jokes at first, or understand it.  As the first time I saw this I was about 8-ish and other then the rabbit scene (which is what I consider to be the best part of the movie) I didn't get it.  But then again, I was eight at the time.  The second Disc with extras is great especially the Lego knights signing Knights of the Round Table.  If you want to see the credits for disc two, highlight the Holy Grail on one of the menus, it's an Easter egg.

3230	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Easy Rider is a legendary movie. This ofcourse is due to its cultural and box office impact rather then the quality of the film itself. Today the film is merely a curio-item, but as a film, it just doesn't work. Witness  for example the ludicrous dialogue, when a farmer invites Fonda and Hopper  to eat with his family, there is a close-up of Fonda's face as he says  "Its great thing for a man to live off the land, you should be  proud." Please, this sounds like a public service commercial for some  farmers union. Hopper as a director has this highly annoying gimmick of  falshing frames of the next scene twice before actually moving onto it, and  he doesn't do it once but throughout the film. Now I'm aware that this  gimmickry might have been revolutionary back in the sixties, but now it  only breaks the flow of a film that is already hard to sit through. The  movie consists of endless shots of Fonda and Hopper on their bike, and not  much else, but it does however recieve a major jolt with Jack Nicholson's  arrival, he briefly awakens this movie out of its slumber. Unfortunatly  he's not on for long, and we're back to Fonda and Hopper on bikes. The  movie then ends in an extended acid trip which despite being completely  pointless is far more entertaining then the rest of this tepid film. Watch  this if you're a serious film buff and want to know what the hoopla is  about, but once you've gotten through it once, I doubt you'll have it in  you to sit through it again.

Well, I don't know... Maybe it would be scarier to watch on a big screen in a darkened theatre, but to me today's horror directors simply got it wrong. You don't make a movie scary by showing lots of blood and organs and people with no eyes or no jaws. A truly scary movie is created by ATMOSPHERE (note Hitchkok and Kubrick). Seeing a guy being sliced into a hundred little pieces isn't scary, it's repulsive. There IS a difference, you know. Two thumbs down.

Finally, the customs and backgrounds are the best yet that I've seen in a film version of the tale.  However, my "four star" rating refers to the "flashback" section of the film.  Yes, why it happens makes sense internally but did they need to spend so much time on it?

Combining influences from Alfred Hitchcock, particularly The Wrong Man (1956), and European cinema as well as being a look at the decaying times. Paul Scraders already challenging script is elevated to an even mysterious grandeur as we follow Travis Bickel (Robert De Niro) and his descent or ascent into a psychological journey with an ending that leaves the audience embracing or questioning his morality and humanity. Beautiful cinematography capturing the grim New York of the 70s and a haunting score from Bernard Hermann, also his final, that is equally as important at exploring the lead characters psyche as the camera work, acting and script.

This series is good enough for a repeat viewing and so I have the deferred pleasure of knowing I will be reintroduced to the Bellamys and all their servants at some later time. However, for the first-time viewer, a real treat is in store for you!

Diana Rigg can probably claim about 60% of the credit for the vast number of U.S. audience members who were glued to their TVs when "The Avengers" finally hit here. The other 40% (not forgetting Macnee's fine performances) had to do with the presentation of the series. Starting in 1965, with Rigg, the filmscore was notably updated and played more prominently throughout the story, enhancing the action and suspense. Also, the action itself was boosted. Never a dull moment with Steed and Mrs. Peel. And these episodes were all FUN -- one embraced a sense that Macnee and Rigg were having a great time in making these films. Now that I've seen episodes from "The Avengers'" earlier years, ('63-'64) I can see that they dragged quite a bit and were much more soap opera-ish.
I am actually one of the few unlucky people to actually see this "film" in the theater. I fell asleep. So just to be fair and to have a complete impression of the film, I rented the DVD. I fell asleep twice more before I saw the entire film. It was so bad it made me wish I had fallen asleep a third time.

Don't think too hard about plot holes and such :-)  Resident Evil is truly frightening, and is one of the few movies that actually made my heart pound in fearful anticipation.  The movie is excellent at creating a kind of clausterphobic panic that really gets to the audience.  And yes, there are more zombies than you can shake a stick at.  And just when you thought there couldn't be any more zombies...
It is a difficult movie to watch but you will see that even though drugs and violence can destroy a family, some families survive.



9898	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	You may not be able to tell a good book by its cover, but it seems to me that much of the time you can tell a good movie by its opening credits. GATTACA begins with extreme closeups of the genetic material falling off of a man while he grooming himself early in the morning, at the main credits appear with the letter of the genetic code standing out from the other letters. A brilliant opening score is paired with this beginning, and it only gets better from there. Like the opening credits, the entire movie is less about flash and more about substance, depth, and (in my opinion) sheer genius.
There is also a very good documentary about the film.  It is a must for Scorsese fans and Taxi buffs.
Anyone who tells you that this movie is boring or that it meanders is horrendously missing the point.  This is an incredibly well-realized movie, masterfully paced, and evocative.  There is some great black humor in "Taxi Driver", but its primary impact is psychological, and in turn, emotional.  The movie tends to be very low-key, but in a continuously arrestingly and usually creepy way.  A ton of the credit for this of course goes to Robert De Niro for his incredible lead performance as the crippingly lonely cabbie Travis Bickle, a man of contrasts who's disturbed to the very core of his being.  Seeing Iris, a 12-year-old prostitute remarkably portrayed by Jodie Foster, ultimately pushes Bickle to the very brink.  The movie's post-shootout finale, which I agree is clearly a fantasy from Bickle's mind, is a hauntingly powerful stroke of genius.

6300	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Beautifully filmed but otherwise, a vanity piece for producer Streisand who loves the camera to love her and blonde love interests--Nolte, Redford, Bridges.  Best Nolte ever looked and good performances from Kate Nelligan and Blythe Daner but otherwise, offputting by profanity and focus on Streisand.
The "romantic" opening slo-mo shot of a yellow cab emerging from a cloud of billowing steam to the progressively rapid beating of a one-handed snare drum sets a dark underlying malevolent tone, and for the most part, that tone is maintained through to the end credits. We meet Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro), a twenty-six year old ex-Marine who suffers acute insomnia and harbors an utter contempt for what he perceives to be the filth of his urban surroundings and all the depravity it engenders. He takes a job as an all-night hack in a bid to quell his anxiety. The tone is interrupted only by Bickle's inept attempts at social intercourse, especially with a beautiful "uptown" campaign worker named Betsy (Cybill Shepherd, whose presence reminds one of no less than Claudia Cardinale's idealized woman in Fellini's 8 1/2). However, the viewer always senses Travis's lingering malevolence just beneath the surface.  A chance meeting with Betsy's candidate gives him a brief but prominent locus for his frustrations, what can't be given by his colleague cabbies (including Wizard, memorably played by Peter Boyle), but it also eventually gives him a locus for a misdirected "sense of purpose". Later, another female/male pairing engages this "purpose" as Travis tries to befriend a pubescent prostitute named Iris (a young Jodie Foster) who works under the "aegis" of a slimy pimp named Sport (Harvey Keitel).  The narrative eventually boils to an explosively violent climax.

Well packaged, the two-disc set has several extras. The main menu on the first disc is funny in itself with an option for the hard of hearing. There are two alternative commentary tracks. The first is newer and features Idle, John Cleese and Michael Palin; the second was recorded much earlier with Gilliam and Jones. Both are informative but only fitfully funny since they defer to the movie. The second disc has "Mindless Sing-Alongs!", where three scenes are taken from the film and subtitled so that once can sing along to the amusing "Knights of the Round Table" (which inspired the Broadway show title, "We dine well here in Camelot, we eat ham and jam and spam a lot."), "Sir Robin" or chant along in "Monk's Chant". There is a hysterical little "educational" short entitled "How to Use Your Coconut" and two scenes dubbed in Japanese. But the highlight is a 45-minute documentary called "The Quest for the Holy Grail Locations," in which Jones and Palin explore the various film locations with humor and a sense of deserved nostalgia. Other features include a mock interview with the cast done during the filming, a Lego version of "The "Knights of the Round Table" song and various sundry features suitable primarily for a Pythonite. For non-Pythonites, the film is still worth a look at a comedy that only looks better with all the witless dreck produced now.

Beyond the visual elements the only saving grace is Dustin Hoffman's performance as the Grand Inquisitor or Conscience. It is a fine performance from a fine actor, but it is a peculiar character. He spends his time questioning Joan's own sanity. Could her visions in fact be some form of psychosis or fantasy? Could crucial moments in her life like finding a sword in a field in fact be simple coincidence? Good questions in the history of the real Joan of Arc, but they seem out of place here. Nowhere in the film are we led to believe Joan is nothing but the real thing. Why bring these questions into play during its climactic ending. The film would have worked much better believing whole heartedly in Joan's purpose and vision. Or questioning her visions from the beginning, a revisioning of the myth could be very interesting. Instead it kicks its legs out from under itself by bringing her into question so late in the film.

9511	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	A classic that seems more relevant now than when I saw it years ago, because it has many parallels to our lives today. This isn't so much sci-fi as it is a psychological study. It asks what does it mean to be human? Is it our flaws that make us who we really are? And what happens in a society where flaws are not tolerated and we discriminate against the less than perfect? (SPOILERS HERE) To me, the most memorable character was Jerome Morrow. Being the embodiment of perfection--why did Jerome not excel to the heights? He had every physical advantage, so why did he win only a silver medal? And why was he so suicidal as the "perfect" man, that he walked in front of a car? It showed that genetic advantages cannot overcome a person's inner angst. And Jude Law's bitter, depressed Jerome Morrow was heartbreaking. The scene where he drags himself up the stairs was excruciating to watch.  Uma Thurman was her usual languid, one-note self.  Ethan Hawke was very good. But it was Law's performance that made this movie for me. This was the same year he made "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and the difference between sallow, broken Jerome Morrow and the bronzed Adonis Dickie Greenleaf shows you just how amazing and versatile an actor he is.

Susan Sarandon, Ed Harris, and Julia Roberts are involved in a triangle as they work to adjust to one couple's divorce and the other's pending nuptials.  The child actors, Jena Malone and Liam Aiken, were also great as the kids not happy with any part of the situations.  These kids were given distinct personalities and each one made the absolute most with what they had...job well done.  Sure, the ending was totally sad and corny all at once, but it worked so well that I won't complain...instead, I'll credit the cast for making it work so well.  A fine film for viewing, though some might recommend a box of tissues.  Enjoy.

It's clear Bickle wishes to be a cowboy hero in "Taxi Driver," as seen by the boots he wears and the guns he straps on like an inner-city John Wayne. His famously improvised "You talkin' to me?" speech is in fact a line of dialog lifted from the classic 1953 western "Shane." And the final showdown has Bickle taking on three men (outnumbered a la Cooper in "High Noon") in a bloody, ferocious battle that to this day is one of the most violent scenes in history. Bickle, adorned in Mohawk and Army jacket, fires at random. The violence is so sloppy one gets the feeling they are viewing an actual crime scene. There is no music, only the jagged noises of constant screaming and guns blasting within closed-in spaces. While we love the balletic violence of the final shootout in "The Wild Bunch," we turn away from the gore in "Taxi Driver." It's as repellant as reality.

8772	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I have had only measured appreciation for Bronson's work, but this film fit him perfectly. The rugged, taciturn persona of Bronson naturally fit this character, a character that would likely have those attributes at the time of the Depression. The supporting cast was well chosen- Strother Martin, for one, of fame for intoning the infamous, "What we have here is failure to communicate" line of Cool Hand Luke. He was a perfect fit for this film as well. I have only one minor problem with the film and that is an historical inaccuracy. In the opening of the film where Chaney is riding a boxcar into New Orleans, the train locomotive is a diesel. Diesel locomotives were not in use in the time of the Depression and did not appear until the 1950's. Then later, at a train station, steam locomotives are used which were, in the 1930's, in common use. Beyond that, Hard Times is a forgotten jewel of a movie, especially for Bronson fans. Well worth the price of admission.

If you want the real Resident Evil expirience, I suggest you play the remake of the first game on Gamecube. If you desire a non-interactive adaptation of the games, read the books. If you must see just how badly Anderson botched up the RE mythology, then by all means see the movies. But be forwarned, they suck. What could have been an excellent horror film adaptation of a classic game turned into a C grade action movie flop.

The ending is very bittersweet. On one hand, Dignan is in jail but on the other, it seems like he is growing up. He makes belt buckles while in prison and tells Anthony and Bob that they could give them to Mr. Henry (who totally used Dignan to get closer to Bob and ultimately robs his house) and Apple Jack (who was caught at the scene but the charges were dropped because of his medical condition). He also jokes to Bob and Anthony about an escape plan which shows that he has accepted his fate. This is truly a coming of age story.

It is absolutely one of the best comedies ever made.  Unfortunately, the original DVD release included no extras.  For people like me who care about such things, this was a major tragedy, especially since the DVD release of Life Of Brian was so good (more extras than you could ever want).  Now, finally Holy Grail is getting the same treatment.  Available as a two disc set, I definitely recommend it.  The extras are just great, plus you get a (very slightly) longer version of the film.  The special edition is the ONLY version of this disc to own.
2325	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	I rewatched this movie just last night (April 13th, 2003), to see what messages it actually uses to play on people's fears and misconceptions about the world around America. At times embarassing, at times eerily in tune with current events, and at all times constantly questioning one's own common sense. Hollywood is always seeking to entertain and distract its audience, but putting such political issues in focus without any thought or plausibility insults those with any mind to question.

Now here's the next kicker that strikes me as a little funny. It's odd that people can't fathom two people can experience the same phenomenon differently or have a different take on it. Being a punk in say NYC 77 would have been much different than being one in 86 insert small Midwest town, '81 Manchester England or '82 Los Angeles. This movie can't capture every 'punk' experience or perspective everyone had and it shouldn't. What it does well is describe the isolation, outcast and sometimes bizarre lifestyle proclaiming yourself a 'punk' might put you into. The scene with the drug dealer where he's shooting the car hoping to sink it in Great Salt Lake wasn't exactly my personal experience but it wasn't too far from the 'anything could happen so watch out' feeling I had when I proclaimed myself a 'punk'.

What amazed me about the film is that it worked as an insightful allegory of the path of the hippy movement - while the hippy movement was in full swing. The film was shot in early 1968 - before the assassinations of MLK and Bobby, the Chicago riots and the election of Richard Nixon had soured the counterculture. So it was wild to see the film suggest the fatuity of the movement, its self-contradictions (back to Nature + smoke/drink/pill-pop your brains out) and its eventual rejection by society at large.

Rather than the fashion clones most movies portray, the punks were all individuals, no two the same. Matthew  Lillard was absolutely brilliant. I agree that he is probably one of the  best and most under-rated actors of his generation.
The introduction video section has Tonya and her single student showing their new babies. It is commendable that they both just gave birth and have made a video. All the proceeds go to "Acres 4 Life" which helps people in Africa learn to farm their land, which is awesome! I really appreciate their efforts and work helping people with their loving kindness, but again, it would be better to be straight forward in their marketing that their efforts have religious undertones. It's not that I don't support them, but they should be clear on the cover of the DVD that the proceeds will be used for religious-based projects.

There was some good acting but the storyline completely distorted the message of Joan of Arc. Instead of the courageous and noble young lady that I believe her to have been ,in this post-modernistic , oversophisticated era of cheap thrills she is portrayed as a pschotic ,ultraneurotic who the movie seems to suggest was motivated by selfish and bloodthirsty reasons which anyone who has studied Joan of Arc would know is not true (Read or see George Bernhard Shaw's Saint Joan which shows more genius in one sentence than this movies wise guy writers and producers could ever write in their collective lifetimes) I am going to see the other Joan of Arc video and hope it is better than this one and reflects the genuine values of freedom and justice which so many older movies (but also quite a few new ones ) more satisfyingly portray

Studio: Columbia Pictures / Twilight Time [Exclusive]
The supporting cast is in top form as well.  Shepard does a great job as Betsy, and despite Travis's eventual disillusionment with her and his conclusion of her being "just like all the others," we can't really look down upon her for leaving him.  Foster did a great job with her role as Iris, as she really wants out of her deplorable life, but is also afraid to leave, and shows this by pretending to like the life she has.  Keitel is excellent as Matt since he's a slimy pimp, but his character doesn't seem forced at all.  While his appearance was small, Peter Boyle was great as "the Wizard," a seasoned cabbie whom the other cabbies Travis hangs around with seek knowledge and interesting stories about the business.
This is an unrealistic action movie (unfortunately it doesn't seem quite as unrealistic anymore). But if you don't mind unrealistic action movies, which I don't, I am sure you will be very entertained by this movie. It's well written, and very thrilling, with good actors, especially Harrison Ford and Glenn Close. I have seen few action thrillers that were more entertaining than this one. It kept me at the edge of my seat for two hours and a couple of minutes. I highly recommend it! This is action at its best!
3 new episodes advance the story to 1936, with a new cast (excepting Marsh) and also now including Atkins as Maud, the same house, same music, same title. After "Upstairs, Downstairs" the pair of actresses combined again in creating "The House of Eliott", another period saga, bloody good Brit drama, an absolute must own "complete collection."
All in all, a bad movie that is aimed at  the teen-age genre with pointless drugs and a bad script.  I do like Seth  Green, however.  He is one of the few redeeming factors (that and the  movie's refusal to take itself seriously) in this B flick.

Monty Python And The Holy Grail is a truly great film and in particular a truly great comedy - to still generate laughs even after repeated viewings.
4850	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	In Martin Scorsese's classic 1970s drama, insomniac ex-Marine Travis Bickle works the nightshift, driving his cab throughout decaying mid- '70s New York City, wishing for a "real rain" to wash the "scum" off the neon-lit streets. Chronically alone, Travis cannot connect with anyone, not even with such other cabbies as blowhard Wizard. He becomes infatuated with vapid blonde presidential campaign worker Betsy, who agrees to a date and then spurns Travis when he cluelessly takes her to a porno movie. After an encounter with a malevolent fare (played by Scorsese), the increasingly paranoid Travis begins to condition (and arm) himself for his imagined destiny, a mission that mutates from assassinating Betsy's candidate, Charles Palatine, to violently "saving" teen hooker Iris from her pimp, Sport. Travis' bloodbath turns him into a media hero; but has it truly calmed his mind? Written by Paul Schrader, Taxi Driver is an homage to and reworking of cinematic influences, a study of individual psychosis, and an acute diagnosis of the latently violent, media-fixated Vietnam era.

Personally, I thought Uma Thurman was a mistake as Mrs. Peel, only because the built-in audience (those familiar with the popular British TV show) would've expected an English girl.

Other reasons to view the film again are the very young and pre- Homer Simpson Dan Castellaneta, the now strange 80's fashions, and the wonderful exchanges between David Basner and the deadpan secretary, and Conrad Janis on trombone with his jazz band (however briefly).

Such is the world that we see in "Gattaca," a scarily plausible sci-fi story that examines the implications of eugenics and genetic enhancement.

4491	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I recently saw this film again after several years and I enjoyed as much as I had done when I first saw it when in was released onto video at the end of the 1980s.  The Seventh Sign was not your run of the mill horror  film.  What it lacked in blood, guts and gore, it made up for other ways.  The acting was excellent; Demi Moore was brilliant as the pregnant young  woman about to give birth to the first soulless child who will herald the  end of the world.  Jurgen Prochnow in turn was superb as God's witness on  earth and even Michael Biehn gave credence to his supporting role as Demi's  disbelieving husband.  Many Jacobs who plays the young Jewish boy Avi also  deserves a mention, all in all the entire cast were brilliant. This is a  much under-rated film as it is intriguing, atmospheric, and well put  together. If you get the chance to rent, buy or borrow this film, then do  so, it is well worth it and you won't be disappointed.

Besson's Jeanne is  a bellowing lunatic and latter day feminist with a wicked right cross.

The English in their turn are mercilessly  pilloried as a race of brutal proto nazis, well...OK. These are just a few  of the film's more besetting problems.

The comparison to "Reservoir Dogs" that appears on the cover is without basis, in my opinion. There is little grit or darkness to Wes's film. There's next-to-nothing in the way of violence or true obscenity (the things that often turn me off to Tarantino's films). It's colorful and bouncy, which is a good way to describe Dignan, the offbeat character played by co-writer Owen Wilson. It's the finest comedy work I've seen from Owen.

As far as using film for a device to explain a complex subject such as genetic tampering, "Gattaca" is a triumph.  But seeing that I already was well aware of the social ramifications of such a practice, I have to judge it based on how the story affected me personally.  It didn't.  The devices were hackneyed, the characters were boring, there was no visual feast to pull it out of the fire.  As nice as it is to think that no matter what, the way we do things is always the best, the fact is that once we open that Pandora's Box, Invalids will be exactly that.  Invalid.

"Taxi Driver" on Blu-ray is HIGHLY recommended.
The trouble with an anti-hero is that we are tempted not to identify with him.  It is too painful.

Writer/director Andrew Nicole (Simone, The Truman Show) has rendered a near perfect film depicting a not so future dystopian world where governments determine its citizen's place in society before they're even born. This is fascism in its purest form. Our protagonist, Vincent, had the misfortune of being born a `love child' conceived in the back seat of his parent's car. He is a `de(gene)rate' whose future has been already determined: a life of slovenly jobs, a marked citizen, known as an `invalid'. One day he realises, after saving his near perfect, genetically engineered brother's life, that he has what it takes to join the ranks of society's elite, and sets a plan in motion to join the Gattaca company. The lengths this boy goes to in order to achieve his goal is nothing less than astounding.

A nice twist (sorry, Oliver!) to a true classic.
What is admirable in this film is that the ETs are shown as absolutely mature and our society, at a scientific level, as being ready to experiment, to take risks, to engulf in an adventure. It is a very positive approach to the problem and this is refreshing. Steven Spielberg manages to literally mesmerize us by organizing a real ballet of light and colors and music as the way these ETs can communicate with us (music and colored lights) and can demonstrate they power as well as their total un-agressiveness (the ballet of lights and beautiful movements  in the sky). He also evades the necessity to show the ETs by blurring their rather childish forms in a nearly blinding light. They are only shadows in this light, and this keeps some kind of mystery in the encounters.
This sequel, much as its predecessor, features the lamest zombie scenesall phoned in and clearly wastes of film and make-up.  However, once Alice fights the Nemesis hulk, things get REALLY entertaining.  Im not a fan of the 30 Crouching Tiger Jedi jumps, the canned fight scenes, or how thousands of bullets perpetually miss Alice despite having no cover and minimal evasive maneuvers.  But the action sequence is really quite entertaining.  I roll my eyes more here than at the original, and part 1 was clearly better written (in my opinion), but this sequel truly succeeds at being more FUN however over-the-top it may be.

The characters are fantastic, the story is fantastic, and it keeps you guessing all the way through.
  I was deeply impressed with this movie when I saw it in the theatre. I was living in L.A. at the time, so maybe that's why it was actually IN theatres. Genetics has been an interest of mine (probably ever since I was a kid watching GI Joe, and Cobra genetically engineered Serpentor), and so when I saw the adverts for this movie I knew I wanted to see it. This was the movie that changed my opinion about Ethan Hawke, who I couldn't stand after seeing that piece of [junk], Reality Bites. He actually convinced me that he was Vincent (and then Jerome). I wouldn't suggest this movie to just anyone however. Here's a litmus test (and if you don't know what that is then you've already failed): If you thought the movie Armageddon was good sci-fi, or for that matter even watchable, it's probably best to stay away from this movie. It's probably way beyond your ability to grasp, what with its subtleties, social commentary, and lack of stunt work, or professional wrestler cameo's. To everyone else with an I.Q. over 100 this movie may appeal to you, and therefore I recommend it.

And now we have it on glorious Blu-Ray with a DTSHD audio track, and a bonus audio track of Brad Fiedel's floral music score. A gift for any fan. The film stock used to shoot the movie probably wasn't the best as the colour scheme's don't quite jump off the screen as I'd hoped, but it's a clean enough transfer in mighty 2.40:1 aspect ratio.
In short, this movie was a complete waste of time and has thoroughly discouraged me from seeing the third one, which is set to be released next year. Somebody would literally have to pay me to see it!

The series covers a time span of nearly 30 years (from early Edwardian England in 1903, through the horrors of the First World War and the Roaring 20s, finally concluding with 1929's stock market crash). The setting is the household of the Bellamy family at 165 Eaton Place, London. Upstairs live Richard Bellamy, MP, and his beautiful, aristocratic wife, Lady Margery. The Bellamys have two adult children, Captain James and Elizabeth, who come and go much like a recurring motif (though recurring nightmare might be more appropriate, for they are the source of much grief (albeit unintended) for their society parents). I don't wish to give the storylines, scandals and surprises away. Suffice it to say that as the series progress, there are lovers, marriages, births and deaths (not to mention the arrival of a beautiful young niece) which impact on the relationships and alter the composition of the group above stairs.
FYI, I should mention that there is still one flaw, which it seems will never be corrected, that the first "Swedish" subtitle is strangely missing, even though all the subsequent "Swedish" subtitles are there.  ...

7659	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	This movie lost a star because, in truth, I found Marisa Tomei's character to be a bit over the top.  She believes in fate, and that a ouji game when she was eleven proffered the name of her future husband.  And so many years later, she ends up all the way in Rome to find the man with this name -- the man of her dreams. (By this time she's engaged, but the guy is schmuck, so it's really not important).
Even today, this movie remains one of the most original, intelligent comedies ever made. The entire conceit of making a comedy about King Arthur and the search for the Holy Grail is a bizarre one, but the Python boys pull it off with style. The skits (for there really is not a plot so much as a general framework for hanging great skits on) are extraordinarily intelligent, unusual, and, best of all, hysterically funny. To this day, except for other Monty Python films, there has been no humor along the lines in this film in either England or the United States, and that's a pity. This isn't easy humor to reproduce. It takes a certain amount education, a certain level of literacy, a certain level of intelligence, and very definitely a level of comic genius. What is brilliant is that the humor can move from highly cerebral political satire (the peasants who refuse to acknowledge Arthur as their king merely because he had been chosen by "a watery tart" who gave him Excalibur) to the delightfully absurd (the syllogisms by which a knight proves that a witch and a duck weigh the same, and then placing a duck on one side of a scale and the witch on the other, incredibly proving that she was indeed a witch) to the out and out farcical (the Black Knight).

Now, one year later, Julie is still haunted by the infamous fisherman... in her dreams and in her thoughts. Although she has friends to comfort her- her roommie and BF, Carla, her boyfriend, Ray, and guy friend Will- she still feels unsecure. But when Carla wins a radio contest for four to go to the Bahamas for the 4th of July weekend, Julie brightens up and asks Ray to come. But Ray resists the invatation, and Julie is crushed. So Carla invites Will to come instead, along with her boy friend, Ty. But when the breif fun turns to confusion as the four winners find that there are limited employees on the island as the result of "storm season", the troubles begin... as well as the deaths...

Michelle's character eventually settles into a "Oh that makes sense- that's how a mother should react to such a traumatic situation" but the father and oldest son were never really given the same kind of believable treatment, which makes me think the writers intended to focus the film around Michell Pfieffer's character and reactions all along.

3307	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	This movie really borders on absurd. The play was simple, heart-felt and centered more on the goings on in the beauty salon. This movie is so overproduced that it diminishes the story and the performances.  Sally  Field gives a credible performance. Shirley McLaine and Olympia Dukakis  play their characters like a cartoon. And Dolly Parton proves she is really  sweet but can't act her way out of a paper bag.  As for Julia  Roberts...well she has screen presence, but she just can't act.

5126	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	One of the most cotroversial movies in cinema history, with an ending that has been analyzed by any and every true film scholar, Martin Scorsese's 1976 classic "Taxi Driver" is a masterpiece in every aspect. The themes of the film (delirium, insanity, isolation) have never been more deeply explored by any other film, the acting (in addition to De Niro's brilliant portrayal of Travis Bickle, everyone other actor involved in the film performs their best efforts, especially the [...] year old at the the time Jodie Foster), and the plot is genuinely disturbing and well developed.

While I might not watch this film again for another year, I am very glad to have the upgrade to Blu Ray as it is heads and tails superior to the Standard Def version I bought a few years ago, plus, you can't beat the inexpensive price.
The story is well done and is in keeping with the scriptures. At first, it can be a bit confusing because it relies on flashbacks that are not always immediately apparent but this is soon gotten over. The result is a good story done well.

There are set pieces about these episodes, but they are far from formulaic.  Unlike some American counterparts with which one might hazard a comparison, Rumpole does not always win the case, although he almost always solves the mystery.  Rarely do cases turn on points of law (indeed, Phyllida Erskine-Brown, the 'Portia' of Chambers once remarked that Rumpole knew nothing of law, but did know how to win over a jury), but the cases usually involve issues of eccentricity, both among those in the legal profession as well as among those who have need of the legal profession.  Most shows involve several subplots, and the line between victory and defeat is often blurry.  However, there will always be an England, at least in certain ways:  As Rumpole said once during a defence, the English nation when it is long gone will be remembered for three things -- the English breakfast, the Oxford Book of English Verse (the Quiller-Couch Edition), and the presumption of innocence - this is Rumpole's mantra, and his statement of faith.

5216	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	You will not be able to determine that Gary Oldman's first film Nil by Mouth is an acted scripted film rather than a documentary.  A great film depicting a working class South London family shot in candid documentary  fashion.  We focus in on off the cuff conversations, a junkie's (Charlie  Creed-Miles) endless search for a fix, a raging alcoholic (Ray Winstone who  also starred in Tim Roth's debut The War Zone), and their 4 generation  family.  As I said I had trouble grasping that the dialogue was actually  scripted it's so naturalistic.  Such a refreshing contrast to the Hollywood  stuff so far removed from naturalistic dialogue it has little to do with  reality.
It's truly a shame that the film makers snuck in a scene of this degree, they simply could have ended with the woman rubbing Joseph's shoulders in flirtation (showing her constant pursuit of him) and played up the moment that way, at that time.  However, they stuck a little leaven in to satisfy Hollywood and to "leaven the whole loaf" with making it clear that she was touching his genitals for a bit and he was helpless to deal with the tempation for a few moments.  This cheap move by the film makers reminds me of the "Sampson" film put out by the Bible Collection film makers....which is TOTALLY TRASHY...taking the sexuality way OVERBOARD for the Sampson screen (don't buy it! My family was apalled!).  Again, i say if you cannot edit the movie, DON'T BUY IT.

Her roommate Karla, played with limited acting skills by singer Brandy, tries to take her mind off things and suggests that Julie dates someone new (Julie and Freddie Prinze Jr.'s character Ray are estranged at the film's start).

However, the "Complete Series" set is the only way to get your hands on the final two seasons, so if you own the older discs, my recommendation would be to make your own set with seasons 1-4 from the season discs and 5-6 from the new set.

As for the end where it states that: "The records show that a total of 16,992 Hessians were brought to America to fight the colonists."  That should be "...to fight the rebel colonists," not forgetting the Loyalists and the Neutrals made up approximately 1/3 each, of the total colonist populace.
Another hilarious technique used in the film is the use of comedy in the background. From people slamming cats against poles for no apparent reason, to people filling up baskets with mud in the fields....all very strange and hilarious at the same time. It's also simply amazing that all of the characters are played by the same group of actors, which shows the great range all of them have. Some are simply unrecognizable from one character to the other and it sometimes takes a good eye to pick them out, which makes it fun.

Alice (Milla Jovovich) wanders the streets of Raccoon City, now under quarantine, blasting the heads off of anything dead that moves. Soon she saves Valentine (Sienna Guillory) and crew and the group is quickly contacted by Dr. Ashford (Jared Harris) whose daughter, Angie (Sophie Vavasseur), is still in the city. Umbrella Corporation scanners show her at the school she attends. The deal: if they save his daughter, he'll guide them out of the city and past the perimeter Umbrella has put up to keep the T-virus in. They have to do this before sunrise otherwise they won't make it out before Umbrella nukes the entire city, erasing any trace that the T-virus existed and reanimated the dead.

What makes this movie work for me is the complexity of the story as well as the characters, and the magnificence in which the two blend together. The first part of the story admittedly is the more believable of the two, diving into the emotions of the family as they must cope with the grief of the missing Ben. Beth's reaction to her son's disappearance is superbly acted out by Michelle Pheiffer, who carries it like she's been through it in reality. The first half of the movie shows her dealing with the pain in the only way she knows how: shutting everyone else out, ignoring the optimism of life that is to be explored. This causes her to become somewhat distanced from her husband, played by Treat Williams, and her oldest son, who feels the great weight of responsibility set in when he must take care of his little sister while his parents argue.

3189	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	An uncomplicated film for complicated times; Easy Rider is the road movie to end all road movies. The plot is simple enough, 2 hippies (Fonda and Hopper) make one big score dealing cocaine, buy 2 fat hogs and saddle up to ride down to Mardi Gras. Well, along the way the boys encounter friends and enemies (mostly the latter) until they end up in jail for parading without a permit! Enter Nicholson...Jack plays a drunk ACLU lawyer named George who comes from a priviledged background. But, he can relate to these longhairs and in fact has more than a little in common with their world view. I don't want to give away any more of the plot as you must watch to be shocked, but let's just say it doesn't end pretty. Peter Fonda's Captain America character is a pure optimist and the embodiment of what America used to be. He is accepting, caring and fiercely original. Fonda turns in a strong understated performance. Hopper's character is more of the stereotypical hippie, complete with paranoid rants and goofy behavior. He's definitely not the straight man here and his performance is too over the top. Nicholson steals the show even for the brief amount of time he's actually in the film...a truly great performance. Easy Rider shares a commonality with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas in fact the two plots are basically interchangable: 2 friends set out in search of America and couldn't find it anywhere. There are a few problem's like the acid trip scene which is ridiculously overdone and the ending which paints an overly pessimistic America to come. But, in the end there's no denying the simple genius here. The landscapes are breathtaking and so is the soundtrack (The Band, Grateful Dead, Hendrix, etc.). This is one trip you must take. Highly Recommended.

Ignorance and fear of the unknown are also regularly parodied.  Scientists, Camelot, Knights, peasants, politicians, judges, and many others get varying levels of treatment; even a duck.  After all, not everyone can be thoroughly lampooned in a movie that is an hour and a half long.
Overall, I guess Lou's performance was fairly good, but everyone else performed at the grade-B level this flick is.  Note especially a very young Shawnee Smith as one of the kid's buds.  Worth seeing for laughs, and as a film version of a kid's pilot fantasy.
No wonder we feel so compelled to imagine a God with a Paradise . . . actually, just a fantacized opportunity to do it all over again (and again, and again, for eternity, until we might hopefully get it right).  But we cannot appreciate what we have when we have it because to do so throughout the time we have the love we seek would rob us of the pleasure of first falling-- i.e., the initial falling in love.  So we soon lose interest in as we abandon what we have, and go off seeking it (what we already have) all over again.  It would seem that to us it is NOT so much the "having" as the "falling" for it that drives us.

The zombies this round are filler in the film. The movie just seems to flash back at them, as if to say "Oh yeah, they're here too". The Licker was even downplayed as a minimal threat to the people who had guns. In the first, it ransacked everything in sight and began evolving and becoming badder. This time, there's like TEN of them. You're thinking, "Holy crap, they're screwed".
As for technical difficulties, I occasionally had problems with the "white rabbit" locking the playback, but that was all. Everything else worked as advertised.

"Nil By Mouth" is the very first film written and directed by the great Gary Oldman, a seasoned veteran actor who has still yet to give a bad performance. Oldman grew up in the poorest ghetto of South London, where this film takes place.
This is a film like those for instance, when it all starts at some point of the characters life and it takes you all the way through their lives until 20 or 30 years later, it is something like The Color Purple, Fried Green Tomatoes, The Green Mile, Driving Miss Daisy and I can keep going on and on . . .

I was glad to see the Bertha portrayal was very close to the book in this one as well as the 83' version.  Unlike, the most recent Masterpiece version that had Bertha looking like she could step out of Thornfield, put on a gown and walk the red carpet.

Instead you get a bunch of incompetent special forces jerks who have no personality and seem to not think of trying a headshot when the people they shoot get back up after emptying entire magazines into them. This movie plays more like a crappy matrix remake with zombies delivering neck-breaking and kung-fu kicks galore instead of horror. Another thing there's no blood when they shoot 'em in the head just a shot of the gun going off and a quick cut to the tiny bullet hole on the forehead of the zombie; no forehead squibbs!

What I loved about this movie though is its realism as to the future of DNA.  While doing research for a paper on forensic science I found that there are laws that investigators in Britain, Japan, and the Netherlands can use DNA technology to determine a person's ethnic mix and that scientists are extremely hopeful that DNA will one day allow them to get a profile of a suspect.

Dave Stotts, the host of Drive Thru History again brings viewers into the world of fascinating history in Volume 1: Egypt to Qumran - Covenants, Kings, and the Promised Land; and in Volume 2: Jericho to Megiddo - Conquest, Canaanites, and the Holy City. Each volume contains three episodes for a total of 85-90 minutes.

The movie starts Federico Luppi as Dr. Humberto Fuentes, a wealthy doctor who is approaching retirement and has never paid close attention to the realities of his country.  His greatest achievement, the "legacy" he is leaving, is his participation in an international health program in which he trained young doctors to work in the poorest of villages.
9 (out of 10). Intangibles. Special effects. Movie pace. Is the movie forgettable, or something you will talk about and remember for weeks? Years?
Unfortunately, there are certain scenes that don't quite ring true to me, in particular those involving the kids and their rock.  The siblings get on way too well, in particular the young son is way too accommodating and nice.  But overall, it is done with sensitivity, funny without being a comedy, and sad without being a melodrama.

Travis's eyes (as is true of us all) see selectively. The film is playing with the idea that humans have limited views and distortions: for example, the angelic American goddess  in the back of the cab, who suddenly is adoring Travis as heroic, is conceivable:  People do follow the interpretation of events they read in newspapers, the interpretations they want to hold.

Although certain liberties were taken with the account as fleshed out in the Bible, these did not impact the overall telling of the story in keeping with what the Bible reveals.  The use of Joseph telling of his early history with his brothers and how he came to be a slave in Egypt was done as a flashback, which actually enhanced the dramatic telling of the story.  Very nicely done and mostly true to the Bible account.

Aside from following people around, Mr. Diamond's camera gets to many places I've never seen before.  I loved the views from the wings in the opening sequence ("Esplanade"), and also during the performance in India when the sound system went dead and the crew was trying not to be frantic during the silence (the dancers continued on without missing a step until the sound was restored!).

3909	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Depending on who you are, you will either enjoy this film or think it is rather stupid and insipid.  I happen to fall into the latter category, and  although I do believe there are good movies aimed at that particular  audience (teens) I don't feel this is it..  The writing is underdeveloped,  with a story that is, although has its moments, seems to be trying to hard  to be humourous while still maintaining its horror element - resulting in a  graphic gore element mixed with botched comedy.  This, like HALF BAKED,  seems to support dope smoking, although the interpretation can be that that  is the reason Anton's two friend's end up dead and he has a possessed hand  because he is lazy and is going no where with his life.  Yet this is  nullified when the kids still smoke it at the end, contributing the end to  `good marijuana'  The main character's name I figured was a nod to Anton  LaVey, who is the founder of the modern day Satanic church.  There is no  explanation given why Anton's two friends come back from the dead, other  than they just didn't want to go `toward the light'.  In a scene  reminiscent of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD they come out of the ground,  providing gross humour.  Like the horror genre it is more of a spoof of  than an actual example, there is nudity (two kids decide to fornicate and  are dressed in KISS costumes).

The movie drags on and on and on long after it should end, such that it feels a lot like you're watching the third film (an inevitability).  By that time I had lost interest.  When the most interesting part of a film is Jill Valentine's miniskirt, it's hard to care about Alice's fate.
They shouldve gone exaclty by the original story. Some fans of the re game say they wouldnt want to see the same thing over again, but that is something that would be great to see. The game Resident evil had a great story, while the movie was though original. If anyone reads the Resident Evil novel, I think they will be very angry when viewing the movie of how it turned out. But I gave it 4 stars for the entertainment, the acting, and the monsters effects. However the story couldve gone by the original and the soundtrack couldve been better. Static X and slipknot do not fit this kind of film, it isn't even real music, if you disagree then learn how to play a guitar properly. Anyway the movie is worth viewing. It was good, but could've been amazing. Hey its a really good movie, and I plan on buying it, but I say this,"Everyone play the first Resident Evil video game from beginning to end, then read the novel. If your not a fan of video games, then just read the book, and to people who don't like to read either, read it anyway, youll love it".
2391	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I know that special effects are supposed to make a story better, but this is one case where they ruin the film to a certain extent. "Air Force One" contains a terrific storyline, along with a great cast of stars.  Harrison Ford plays the President who, along with his family and Cabinet  members, are beginning a return journey from Russia, where they have  kidnapped the self=proclaimed leader of a small country on the brink of  rebellion. Before take-off, a camera crew boards the plane, headed by Gary  Oldman. Soon, the camera crew is revealed as being a group of terrorists  who begin killing at random and hold the remaining survivors hostage in  return for the release of their leader. Ford makes the president a true  hero as he tries to stop the plane and the terrorists, and the story never  stops moving as things unfold. However, the special effects are not  believable in all places, and while the majority of the shots look honestly  true, there is always something to give away the computer wizardry. This  movie is a good movie, and I reccommend watching it on DVD instead of VHS  for better experiencing of this film.

8252	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	The series is very interesting and Rumpole is a character and most enjoyable.  The only problem I had with the set was that it is so very English and hard to understand at times.  Liked it very much.  A great buy for the money.

The story itself is very basic, but very enjoyable. The idea is that a ragamuffin of an orphan is "adopted for a week" by the richest man in America, and they end up becoming the best of friends. It has the air of a fairytale; many elements of the story, like the characters of the Asp and Punjab, are colorful and fantastic indeed. Now, if you'll excuse the fact that Annie's good luck is a little too good (the whole universe seems ready to bend over backwards for her), you'll find her character and story quite enjoyable. Perhaps this is because she's so kind to everyone around her; she never seems to become too saccharine. In any case, when I was a kid, I liked to imagine that I was Annie... street-smart, optimistic, opportunistic, and talented, too.

Wolfgang Petersen is a storyteller, that understands the effective use of action, and he provides an enthusiastic, and informative commentary.  He marvels at the amazing things that were done in the special effects department, which by today's standards, appear quite dated.  Air Force One is an overdramatic, pretentious, but fun fantasy, with a patriotic streak.  It is too bad that today's real problems can't be dealt with so simply.

The result is a hilarious series of  poorly executed robberies, mostly robbing people they know.  The last  robbery is so over planned and yet completely miscalculated it becomes an  absolute mess.  I laughed so hard and for so long at the last robbery I  almost passed out from a lack of oxygen.  This is a fun film with two  endearing lead characters.
Basic plot, OH Geeeze Meathead don't spoil it for the rest of us who might want to see it. Players of the Resident Evil series of video games will recognise many of the scenes and plot elements. I didn't becuase I haven't played the games except maybe the first or second one once or twice (whichever one starts outside the mansion). OK so without giving too much away, a deadly virus breaks out in a super secret experimental laboratory complex that is controled by a supercomputer Named "The Red Queen" that has gone out-of-control so the powers that be send in the marines so to speak (a special forces type paramilitary unit). Meanwhile the main character Alice played by Jovovich has amnesia, a side effect of nerve gas released by the Red Queen, and slowly regains her memory as events unfold. Yes there are intentional parralels to Louis Carols Alice In Wonderland. I enjoyed this movie although you do have to turn off your brain as with most other movies of this genre. An interesting bit of trivia is that Night of the Living Dead (1968) Director George A. Romero, was originally on board to write and direct, but left the project due to creative differences over the script. The sound is typical Sci-fi, Horror, suspense heavy metal type music scored by Marco Beltrami and get this Marilyn Manson. Oddly enough despite that bizarre match up the music works. As for the plot etc... The result is something like Demon Seed meets Night of The Living Dead, meets Lara Croft - Tomb Raider with a little Total Recall and Raiders of The Lost Ark thrown in. I liked one scene which according to Internet Movie Data Base was inspired by and is very similar to a scene in the Canadian movie The Cube. My entertainment dollar was well spent even with the slightly cheesy CGI effects and occasional cheap Zombie makeup mixed with just plain gory Zombie makeup. BTW they don't ever call the undead creatures Zombies, they usually refer to them as the monsters or creatures or things, wouldn't you?

It is unusual for so many famous stars to appear in one film.  Julia Roberts is listed after many of the other names, though today she is one of the most popular and highly paid actors in the world.  Sally Field plays Julia Roberts' fretful mother, always concerned about her daughter, but a balanced concern.  Julia is the marginally rebellious daughter, who thinks her mother fusses too much over her, wanting her mother to let her lead her own life.

9995	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Some people compare this film to Orwell's 1984, but in all honesty, this film is far closer to Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, where an infant's occupation is determined at birth.



Gattaca isn't far-fetched at all.  Who could resist a future where all babies are perfect?  No congenital defects, no weakness, no shortcomings...
"Hard Times" has numerous memorable scenes, lines and characters. I was entertained throughout its 90 minute runtime -- grinning, frequently busting out laughing and even clapping (huh?). Speaking of the runtime, I love it when pictures aren't needlessly overlong.



The beginning is a little confusing, with everything going on at once. But after everything settles down and all is explained, the movie gets much better. The special effects were quite good, and the acting was convincing too, especially Jovovich and Rodriguez.
Fright Night, a 1985 horror film that combined the elements of horror and comedy, is another winner from the 1980's and is one of the best films that the decade had to offer.

Other cult classics have no special effects, but can provide interviews and other info , very useful or appreciated for the fans.

The movie itself is a fascinating hodge-podge of hilarity. You get to see several film genres, including swashbucklers, fantasy, epics and musicals, all get joyfully skewered. One cost-saving move, using coconuts banged together to simulate the sound of horses, since they couldn't actually afford horses, is an inspired notion. Despite that, much of the film shows the time period in a more realistic fashion than most other movies. There's lots of dirt and lots of mud and people know the king is the king because "He hasn't got [...] all over him."

This Movie Rocks! GET IT! Its both scary and cheesy! one of the better 80's horror movies!!!
5597	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	This movie is a lot of fun.  It takes a classic horror theme, vampires, and brings it up to date, atleast when it came out in 1985.  The use of special effects is done really well, in that they compliement the story, and not try to cover up the fact that the story is weak and full of holes, like in other movies.  This movie is about a guy named Charlie who finds out that a vampire has moved in next door to him, and has started killing people.  The more he tries to convince others of this, the crazier he appears to look.  He tries to enlist the help of a local TV personality, the character played by Roddy McDowall, who hosts his own creep show called 'Fright Night', with little intial success.  Eventually some of the other characters see that Charlie is right, and this leads to the climatic finale.  I think Chris Sarandon plays his role as the vampire realy well, not over the top but right on the money.  He's charming, seductive, and alluring, with a sinister side that only Charlie can see until the vampire exposes himself for what he is....Roddy Mcdowell is great also, playing his role as Peter Vincent, a sort of washed up character actor trying to squeeze as much as he can out of his past celebrity.  A fun movie with a lot of charm and appeal.  I am amazed that this movie came out like 18 years ago....seems like only yesterday...where does the time go?

Having watched the film dozens of times with adults--as well as with my middle-schoolers in the classroom, I can say that the greatest of Bible stories is captured in all its power, pathos, and glory. Although creating a few anachronistic vignettes (such as Joseph's 'foreshadowing' Christ's "My God, my God..." speech from the Egyptian prison), the film also captures all of the great ironies of the Joseph story.
And the general quality of the film in the special edition is greatly improved; the prior DVD release had muddy sound and murky images, and while the film was enjoyable nevertheless, you still felt a little cheated--after all, the DVD is supposed to be an improvement over the old VHS.  With the special edition, it is.  Clearer and brighter both in sound and images, Sony Pictures has finally given this classic film a new lease on life.  And the extra 24 seconds of footage are good for a chuckle or two.

C.D. Bales is an educated, romantic and modern swashbuckling man who can street fight and win with style, possess a sharp wit, can swing and climb rooftops with the agility of a cat and write poetry and love letters that will make any woman swoon with delight.

A conscientious comic book artist, Woody Wilkins won't put anything in his comics which his characters couldn't do in real life. As such, the movie opens in Paris with Woody gigged out in full Condorman regalia and leaping off the Eiffel Tower to test his Condorman wings.

This DVD package, (2 DVDs, individually cased and further packaged in an attractive cardboard box, this "Set No. 2" color-coded ORANGE), is the second of FIVE sets for the 1968 episodes. The marketing of "The Avengers" can be quite confusing so I wanted to get that information out up front. This is also the BEST way to buy the DVDs (by the "set" rather than by the "volume") for any season, from 1963 through 1968.
Wolfgang  Petersen, the maker of the terrifically gripping "Das Boat",  directs here and lends the film a terrific sense of claustrophobia. The  cat-and-mouse game Ford plays with the terrorists will leave the audience  on the edge of their seat. Ford is the idealization of what every American  wants his Chief Executive to be- tough, a man of action, resourceful. The  same way Cary Grant and Humphrey Bogart were film icons of the 1940s and  50s, Ford will come to be remembered as one of the great actors of the 80s  and 90s. His casting could not have been better.

The DVD is of good audio and visual quality. Nothing new in the DVD that isn't in the VHS. No special features. Nada. Love the Nawlins location for this film that takes place during the depression.
of humor. tops james bond any day....

Each 52-minute episode is futuristic and on the cutting edge of excellent television productions. I know of no series, "The Original Star Trek Series" excepted, which has remained as timeless as "The Avengers". You'll encounter, in these episodes, every nemesis ranging from an airborne costume party to a man (actually, an androidish double of a man), who cannot be killed by traditional means.
Overall, a highly entertaining DVD that fans of STAR WARS and/or film buffs will enjoy.

1834	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	As with all movies based on historical fact, the yardstick for this movie should be the accuracy presented regarding the battle of Trenton. Based on my somewhat limited reading (Richard Kethchum's "The Winter Soldiers"), this movie delivers reasonably well. More so, the most truly important aspect of history movies, in my opinion, is the context and how well this given period is presented...in essence, how deeply does the viewer feel involved? This is the issue that makes this movie stand out. Watching this, I felt all the emotions that Washington appeared to go through (desperation, frustration, exhileration upon smashing the Hessians at Trenton...) and just  marveled at the "period" depiction. I really felt that this was what it was like in 1776 Pennsylvania and New Jersey (volunteers with no uniforms or warm clothes...some even without shoes in the dead of winter...). Washington's character was well played by Jeff Daniels as he portrayed the important leadership qualities that made him a legend and founding father. Daniels "playing" Washington also managed to come across as somewhat flawed (i.e. "human"...) while giving a semblance of Washington's major desperation. On the negative side, I'm not so sure that Colonel Glover's role was historically accurate, although it was also well acted. In summary, an excellent movie and one that should be viewed by anyone interested in the Revolution. Highest recommendation.

 Superb. There have been very few movies that I can say, hand on heart, that have ever touched a nerve with me, but this is  did. If anyone but Williams and Bridges had played these roles, the film would have dragged on and on. Bridges is excellent as the ex shock jock, trying to make some restitution for the consequences of his 'actions'. Williams should be given some kind of Knighthood - the man is flawless as he tries to claw his way out of his personal madness, his grief and guilt. The support cast are pretty fine, too. Excuisite.
As for the DVD itself, it is presented in letterbox/widescreen.  There are several subtitles that can be utilized, so it is foreign speaking friendly.

I was only ten years old when 'Easy Rider' came out, and without even seeing it, I can recall how popular the movie was.  In fact, it was very common to see a large black & white poster of Peter Fonda on his chrome chopper, with the helmet and gas tank colorized in florescent red, white and blue.  For the counterculture/anti-establishment crowd, it would seem that traveling cross country on a Harley with a stash of money, drugs along with easy sexual encounters was the new American dream.  It wasn't until recently I had the chance to watch this film in its entirety on DVD, and the sense of free-spirited travel across scenic landscapes holds up well and so does a lot of the music, especially songs like "Born to be Wild" and several of the songs by the Byrds.  In addition, the movie has some great moments including just about every scene that features Jack Nicholson.  But sadly, communal living, acid trips, getting high on pot, having unprotected sex with prostitutes and dealing drugs for money just dates this film miserably.  All of this wouldn't be necessarily bad especially if it was a bust-your-gut comedy, but unfortunately the film idealizes this lifestyle and plays too heavy-handed against their stereotypical Southern oppressors - especially in the final scene.  Overall, I did like this movie for the cinemetography, music and nostalgia, but wasn't at all sold on the manipulative and outdated message.  However, it's definitely one of these movies like Woodstock, that brings insight, be it good or bad, into the hippie counter-culter of the late 1960's.

 My excitement for Resident Evil was not failed or a waste of time. Everything this movie gave, I was completely happy with it. First off, with any Resident Evil fan, the first thing you will look for are the zombies and references to the games. The zombies were excellent and I must note that the first zombie to attack was creepy as mess. The references to the games didn't really come until the last 15 minutes of the film, and it made the film 10 times better. Especially the final scene in which I was almost gaping at. The acting wasn't topnotch, but enough feeling was given to make the film. Mila Jovovich stole the show of course. Michelle Rodriguez and Eric Mabius also did noteworthy jobs, but I'm getting a little tired of Rodriquez playing the smart-arse girl even though she does it well.

"Resident Evil", the movie, is a very common piece of entertainment, that, without being bad, simply offers some acceptable entertainment, some mild thrills, and an easy and agreeable night at the theater.

This is also probably my favorite Steve Martin film.  Despite his surreal schnoggin, he manages to inject his character with warmth, character, and lovability.  You like him so much that you find it believable when he and Roxanne end up together at the end.  (Interestingly, both this and the Janeane Garofalo film end happily, unlike the Rostand play.)  The long scene in which a bar patron insults his nose, and he humiliates the man by coming up with 20 better and vastly funnier insults (this "Cyrano" is not merely a highly capable street fighter, but equally adept at verbal sparring) is easily the highpoint of the film.  Even if I have seen the film recently, if in channel flipping I see the movie playing and that it hasn't reached this part of the film, I will wait and watch it.

The first release on DVD still had three scenes missing from the 1977 version that I saw on the theaters.  I did miss seeing the man with his family commenting on how far behind the aliens was in technology when it came to our highway systems.  I also miss Ray wife (Teri Carr) complaining that she was not going to get a job and Ray looking at the pillow and seeing the mountain shape in it.  The third scene was included with the outtakes.

I've never understood the charges of xenophobia leveled at this film.  It's a story told from the point of view of Billy Hayes, a young man sentenced to years in a foreign prison, with no friends or help in the country where his (foolish) actions have trapped him.  OF COURSE he's going to see the people abusing him as horrible monsters - wouldn't you?  And really, the only people I saw that were portrayed as "evil" were the big horrible prison guard played by Paul Smith, the hard-line prosecuting attorney, and the rather oily defense attorney who really does seem to be trying to help.  So there ARE no horrible abusive prison guards in reality?  There ARE no hard-line prosecutors who are more interested in coups than justice?  Defense attorneys are NEVER the least bit sleazy?  Seems to me the only reason these characters are deemed "racist" is that it's apparently a sin to portray anyone outside America as being other than nice - as if there were no ugly, mean, selfish, violent people anywhere else in the world.  Sorry, that's dishonest.  Bad people exist everywhere, and it's purely self-serving to insist that filmmakers must never allow such people into their films, ESPECIALLY when those characters are based on REAL people in the original book!
In fact, there are scenes where the detail comes out quite nicely.  But if there was one thing that the Blu-ray High Definition transfer does happen to bring out is the amount of grain.

How did they let all THAT stay in the final? It was so entirely awkward. Forget that part when you see it as it was a total disaster.  But, I was totally surprised by how great he was in this movie.

Grade: ***** out of *****
The film love story between Wingo and Lowenstein is one of the most memorable of the past decades, yet the picture also encompasses deep social undertones -- suicide, hypocrisy, lack of family understanding. There is a couple of memorable scenes; the most special one comes when Wingo finally lets the demons of the past out -- this is acting at its best on both Nolte's and Streisand's part. Although some other films also attempted something similar (e.g. "Good Will Hunting", with Matt Damon and Robin Williams), it never was so powerful as here. The ending is bittersweet, not typically romantic but ultimately inevitable and logical for the story.
The  film's worst scene involves the girls' encounter with aliens during a  midnight hike in the woods. Personally, this scene seems out-of-place in  such a film. Richard E. Grant is great as the girls' manager, and the  film's subplot of a tabloid thrasher going after the girls makes it much  more fun to watch.
I had a hard time trying to decide as to whether or not this is one of those bad movies that happens to good actors, or if they should be held responsible for getting into it. Hewitt and Prinze, Jr, who reprise the roles of the earlier film, should have known better when they read the script that this material would not be sufficient enough to live up to the standards, however low, set by the first film. Brandy Norwood and Mekhi Phifer are the newcomers in the places of Phillipe and Gellar, and Phifer is the most amusing as the oversexed boyfriend who turns sexual frustration into comedic relief; Brandy is okay on TV, but I think in this case, a bad movie happened to her as an actress.
Overall, a worthwhile addition to the store as the entire product was given a good treatment. Hope you enjoy.

The lifestyles, attitudes and different cliques which spun off from American punk rock have been accurately detailed. Most importantly, the story transcends the era, revealing the frustrations of youthful rebellion and the angst of American suburban living.

6233	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Please read this review before you decide if it's helpful or not. Seriously, I played the games they are fun, I saw the first film, it was pretty good, this one does not have much going for it. If you want a good shoot-em-up Zombie film see the remake of "Dawn of the Dead" or even the great comedy "Shaun of the Dead". Both of those movies will give you so much more than this one. The "Lickers" in the Church is a good scene, and a brief scene with Zombie Hookers is cool, and that is the two stars I give it. Nemesis (The huge monster villian in this movie) looks no better than a Power Rangers creature I kid you not, and the acting is non-existent. If you are the kind of person that will enjoy anything with the "Resident Evil" tag you may like it just fine, but people with a higher-standard on their action/horror films REALLY should look elsewhere..........the Zombie Hookers are cool though.

 With Taxi Driver the climax is the violence, it is the insanity. An insane man saying 'you talking to me' is cool and funny. Travis is the hero, an insane man who murders and tries to assasinate people is looked up to and idolized. Thats a hallmark of Scorcese films and why I don't like a lot of his work. He shows the seductiveness and romanticism of satanic actions and people, but brings too much sympathy to them, too much idolization. Instead of showing the real consequences of these dark impulses, Scorsese seems to be infatuated with them and splashes them pornographically across the screen for his own amusement.
Blu-ray Special Features and Extras:

6653	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I've read many of the reviews here at amazon.com.  I find it interesting how what is considered "a minor film" has brought on so many "Love it"/"Hate it" opinions.  I (a non-gamer) fall in the "Love it" group.  I've read criticisms of the beginning of the film and how it is hard to follow.  It seamed quite apparent (to me) that you were supposed to be confused in the beginning so you could identify with the main character that has lost her memory.  I thought it actually brilliant how things become clearer to the viewer as the effects of the knockout gas wear off of Mila Jovovich's character.  I am also surprised that people can watch a video-game based film and have such high expectations.  I went into this thinking, "I sure hope there's a lot of special effects and good action".  I came out of viewing my rental thinking, "That was so much better than I expected, I must own this!!"  Heck, I thought "Mortal Kombat" was a passable video game adaptation; Full of action, had a story, fair acting.  I'm not sure what people expect when a film like this comes out.

As for the Blu-ray release, for those who want to sing along with the music or learn the lyrics, can easily do so with the exclusive "Sing-Along" feature.  And for those who don't own the previous "Annie" releases, will surely enjoy watching an older Aileen Quinn discussing her experience of working on the film and the various talents at the time.  As for video and audio quality, there is no doubt that this is the best version of "Annie" to date.  While I wish there was more use of the music for the surround channels, it's still crystal clear coming from the center and front channels.  While the picture quality didn't look too aged or feature heavily use of DNR.
Then they all get to battle hand to hand with a bunch of rotting graveyard zombies which is funny because A. How did the T-virus infect the already-dead-6ft-burried corpses? and B. why did they choose THAT moment to unearth themselves?

 Oh boy, Raccoon City has only hours to exist before the cleansing flash of a nuclear weapon, the Zombies run amok and Alice has lives to save in what to my mind is the finest of the very successful Resident Evil films.  Milla Jovovich returns to her role as Alice, the Umbrella corporation security officer who we now know has been experimented upon.  Sienna Guilliory serves in the role of a very attractive cop in a mini skirt.  Oded Fehr plays another policeman, all three of them are survivors of the man made Apocalypse.  Young Sophie Vavasseur plays the young daughter of Dr. Ashford who the survivors must rescue from the soon to be wiped out city.

And would they be hostile or friendly?
I much rather have had a RE type story or one that could have ran parrel much like the first movie. In stead we get whole a scene stolen from RE code veronica and they actually look less stunning. If it wasn't a complete rip off (say if the character was the same) it wouldn't have been so glaringly bad, but when you go to see a movie you go to see "new" thoughts and ideas not just shifted image stolen from video games with different characters doing things that run logically against the game that the images are being stolen from.

Finally John Huston would say that it doesn't hurt to have lovable hero's in your story. Lovable heroines wouldn't hurt either or at least ones that look sexy. Milla Jovovich and Sienna Guillory are attractive women but if they chose their own costumes (?) for this movie they are also airheads.  Like many women they dress in what they think makes them look sexy. The result is a 6th Street hooker look that makes you laugh every time they appear in the frame. Check out Milla's "Zoolander" look if you want to see what could have been; she actually looks sexier wearing old army fatigues in "Dummy" than she does in her "Resident Evil-Apocalypse" outfits.

This series is... Well... British, I guess is the single best descriptive word. If you don't understand "British", McKern, et alii, will show you the meaning, in full, washed out, colour. (sic). This is an amusing, endearing ongoing demonstration of light humor. Follow the day to day trials, troubles and tribulations of a middle-of-the-road white collar worker, his help (sometimes) mate, and colleagues. View the inner workings and decor of middle-class English life as lived by the reslover of the Peng Bungalow murders. Thrill to scenes of the long walk to work. Marvel at the criminal activities of lower-middle-class denizens of the British judicial system, judges and crooks alike. Political intrigue of the lowest noticeable order and dry humour (sic again) as only the Brits can play. Actually amusing, believable, endearing, and well worth owning, this can be an investment that is watched over and over through the years.
A somewhat painful scene (except for the chance it gives us to watch Terry Jones in action as a director) is the BBC documentary made during filming. The interviewer seems more interested in trying to be funny himself than in the Pythons.  But there are several great comic extras, including words to some songs, a coconut skit, two scenes dubbed in Japanese, and best of all, an animated feature of the "Camelot" scene and song done entirely in Lego...must be seen to be believed.
Close Encounters is very slow moving, with the occassional interesting thing occurring, but it is not until the end where something interesting happens.  And even then, I expected more.  I was left thinking "is that it, after all that slow build-up?".  Many scenes during the film are just too stupid for words.

  Charles Bronson gives an excellent performance as Chaney, the strong, silent street fighter trying to make a buck.  Roles like this show Bronson's acting ability and that he wasn't just a tough guy, although he more than holds his own in this movie.  James Coburn is equally as good as Spencer "Speed" Weed, Chaney's promoter who always has trouble holding onto money.  Bronson's real-life wife Jill Ireland plays Lucy, Chaney's girlfriend who is looking for security in her life.  In a smaller role, Strother Martin plays Poe, an opium-addicted medic working with Chaney and Speed.  The movie also stars Michael McGuire as big-time gambler and heavy Chick Gandil, Felice Orlandi, Edward Walsh, Margaret Blye, Bruce Glover, Robert Tessier, and Nick Dimitri.  The DVD offers widescreen and fullscreen presentations, and trailers from Hard Times and The Stone Killer, another Bronson movie.

Hell no, especially since there seems to be a lot missing (judge for yourself by watching the theatrical trailer). But it's so much fun. Let me say right now that I have never seen the old television series, so I went into this movie a novice. And I was entertained. It's campy, over the top and a little silly. But it's okay. As much as I love this film, I hope someday to see the whole uncut Director's version just to fill in the (many) holes. There are far worse movies out there, trust me, and if you just give yourself over to it, you may be pleasantly surprised.

9287	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	I'm not sure what it is that I don't like about this movie. It seems there is something off balance that is apparent from the opening sequence. Obviously all the reveiws for this movie were written by fans. Most people who wouldn't like this movie most likely have not heard of it, or barely remember. It does not leave a lasting impression unless you find it hilarious. Filmed on a shoestring budget and probably in locations within just a few miles of each other, this movie is a journey into the bizarre and dryer then a dessert humor of one of Englands most popular comedy troups. Rest assured, if you like English humor, this movie will most likely leave you rolling on the floor. For some who just can't laugh that hard at it, you may find yourself giving up on it early. There is some tremendously funny writing and some very cerebal wit. For example, the argument about whether a swallow can carry a coconut during it's migration. The taunting of the Frenchman from the top of the castle wall. The dual with the black knight, and the killer bunny. The hightlight being the peasent in the road who King Arthur mistakes for an old woman and gets a tougue lashing for the simple mistake. Even these moments though rely on the bizarre circumstance that these people don't ride horses but pretend to with the sounds they make with two coconuts to show you that there is absolutly nothing to be taken seriously and nothing that shouldn't be considered off the wall. This movie seems funnier when quoteing lines in the company of friends, rather then watching it straight out. My personal tastes do not run to something this unbalanced, but I realize it is adored by many. So to those who enjoy it, knock yourselves out. To those who enjoy more straight foward smart comedy, I would suggest Real Genius.

5254	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	"Notes from the underground"-it's the title of a Dostoyevsky book. Actually it's one of his best. If you've read it you could maybe appreciate more the Scorsese movie.  "God's lonely man"-that's Travis Bickle,the Vietnam veteran who spends his life driving a cab through the seedy streets of New York. He observes without taking any part. He despises the pimps, the prostitutes and the junkies. He welcomes the rain that will sweep the city clean of its filth. He haunts the streets as he begins a mesmerizing descent into his own personal hell. He's drawn to two women in particular: there's Betsey, the unattainable blonde campaign worker for a president wannabe, and there's Iris, a child whore who is in the thrall of a brutal pimp. At a certain point of the movie he sets out to win over these two women and at the same time atone for his own sins in an orgy of violence. His original plan to kill the candidate is foiled by the Secret Service, so he decides to descend into the squalor to redeem himself by rescuing Iris.  Like every kind of underdog Travis takes out his anger on the guy below him rather than the guy above him. He contemplates his arsenal before beginning his rampage. He is wearing faded combat fatigues and has designed a complicated holster contraption that would allow him to draw and fire much faster. He is surveying his handywork in a full-length mirror. "You talking to me" - he says as he spins and draws on a non existent opponent, savouring this moment. It's the picture of a man on the brink of the abyss! A truly wonderful moment of genuine movie magic!  Travis Bickle is a man who is in emotional pain throughout the movie. The pain and torment that Bobby De Niro endures on screen as Travis goes far beyond simply acting. To give that feeling of rejection, the feeling of really being angry, the fear of not being able of making relationships survive, to understand the pain and play it so convincingly he would have had to endure at least some of it. Undisputably one of the best performances in the cinema history!

I won't bother listing all the special features as Amazon details them nicely, but I will say the picture and audio were excellent.

Meanwhile, one element that often goes unmentioned outside of deeper analyses of the film is its musical score, one of Bernard Herrmann's last and very finest. With the veteran composer of Alfred Hitchcock films tabbed for this film, you might have expected dark and disturbing, Psycho-esqe music, befitting Taxi Driver's status as a nightmarish psychological journey. Horrific dirges find their way into the score on occasion, but surprisingly, Herrmann more often used a jazzy, romantic theme to underscore Travis' subconscious rants about the "scum" and "filth" he'd like to wipe out of New York City.

Another theme that runs deeply through all three films is the powerful and destiny changing power of rivers! The awesome power of the natural world, exemplified by a river in all three films, is undeniable. You can't miss it. In the case of INTO THE WILD, it was the raging force of the rolling river rapids that prevented Chris from crossing back in the spring to the other side from which he came. It was too wide, too deep, and with waters gushing too fast to cross. He was forced to go back to the bus where he had been living all winter. It ultimately decided his destiny for him. He almost drowned in it on his attempt to cross it. In the end, it was because of the river which separated him from all that he cared about in his past that sealed his fate. The poison plants he mistakenly ingested while he was starving did not help, either. In the case of EASY RIDER, it was along the river that both characters met their fate, and got blown away by a couple of backwoods rednecks out for a spin in their pickup truck. Maybe it was their bad karma? Still, the injustice of the moment is profound, as one watches Peter Fonda's motorcycle go up in flames while Roger McGuinn of the Byrds sings Bob Dylan's song, "The Ballad of Easy Rider,' as the lyrics "flow, river flow" repeat throughout the song like the flowing river itself. In the case of THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES, it was along the river where Ernesto found himself, in the sense of his true calling, while administering to a sick, leper woman who made him realize that there are other ways to heal people - and prevent them from getting sick in the first place - than by being a physician to individuals. Society itself can be in great need of a social healer. The river separated the sick lepers on one side from the hospital care workers on the other. Ernesto refused to wear the superstitious rubber gloves on his hands from the very first day. One night, on his birthday, he had a spiritual rebirth when he took a rite of passage and dove into the river, swimming all the way across to the other side where all of the sick lepers along the shore encouraged him on. On doing so, he once and for all proved to his friend, Alberto, that he was no wimp but a true man with determination and courage. He showed an inner strength that inspired all of those around him. How they cheered his victory over the river! He would not be stopped by anything. That came later, when he was "Che Guevara" the revolutionary in Bolivia, when the sneaky CIA killed him. His nobility still shines brightly! Like "Alexander Supertramp" in INTO THE WILD and "Captain America" in EASY RIDER, he had a huge heart and a great soul. He truly cared about people.

I guess what I'm getting at is I am damn sick and tired of listening to people rag this movie. I'm so sick of it, in fact, that I will outright lie through my teeth to people who dislike it and tell them that it is my favorite film, even though it really isn't. It isn't my favorite films of Arnold's by a long shot, but I still rank it in the top-ten. It isn't even one tenth as bad as they say it is. There were avid Schwarzenegger fans who actually came to loathe Arnold after he made this movie. Why, I ask? WHY? I DEMAND TO KNOW! Is it the acting? Is it the script? Is it the story and the premise? Special effects, car-chases, what? Okay, the acting is corny. I give you that. The story is far-fetched and the action is over-the-top. I give you that, too. But guess what, you stupid sh*ts? IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY! This film was intended as a social commentary. It is satire. It was intended to make fun of movies by example. It points out the most inherent flaw in all of cinema. Fantasy! That's right! It exposes the film industry for what it is. That is, a circus, a mad house, a rabid dog, a wild beast, a monolithic volcano of glamour, pretense, vanity, and and... AND just... shrill-shrieking-FRAUDS.

That is what makes EASY RIDER so special. The fact that it is the ultimate sixties experience. Also with Jack Nicholson, Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper and a awesome soundtrack with Jimi Hendrix, Steppen Wolf ,The Byrds and The Band how could this movie be bad? In conclusion EASY RIDER is one of the groovy, trippy, American classics that is just down right cool! Highly Recommended!
I also thought the humour was good. Trying to chat up Betsie, chatting to the special security services man, chatting to the pimp. He was so natural. Ive been around a lot myself, and you do get bad ideas in your head, and want to do exactly what Travis did. I suppose thats the point of good acting - making you believe it is real. Given that De Niro was only about 30, he really was amazing. Two thumbs up. The Dear Hunter was also in the same league as this.
Great picture and sound quality and a great comedy makes this an easy recommendation.

6722	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This movie completely and totally blew me away in every sense of both words.  Not much can be known about the true Joan of Arc, but it is known that she supposedly found a sword in a field and used the cause of God to attack the British and try and save her fellow French.  And, just so people know, where do you think the "F" word got its start??  It was back in the middle ages, and thus the evil English like to use it a few times.  But, I'd hardly say its overused.  I counted no more than half a dozen uses of the word, myself, and there is little other swearing in the movie.  Other than that, this movie got 'R' for its very violent and thematically tense content.  This is not a movie for the weak or stomach or heart.  It's take on the reasons for Joan's crusade is displayed perfectly and while this movie doesn't offer any solid view of its own on how her life really happened, it gives us a good idea of what it was like.  All in all, this movie may be better than even Braveheart.  The acting is superb, the music by Eric Serra is outstanding (the song that plays as Joan was getting burned at the stake ALWAYS sends chills up and down my spine).  All in all, if you like medieval movies about famous war figures, don't miss out on The Messenger.  It's a dramatic and very realistic portrayal of one of the key icons of medieval history that deserves more respect and attention than its gotten.

6102	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	The only word I can think of to accurately describe this film. Midnight Express at its' core is an expose not of the Turkish prison system but of the brutality that man is capable of. Based on true events, Midnight Express follows the life of American Billy Hayes, who is caught trying to smuggle a small amount of hashish on to his plane. Needless to say he is caught and sentenced to serve time in a Turkish prison. Billy endures endless torture both physical and mental during his tenure in the prison. There is one particularly beastly guard who looks like James Gandolfini from the Sopranos; anyway this guard loves to whoop up on the prisoners, especially the Americans. The film takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions with plenty of twists and turns. The film score is nothing short of haunting. The use of sound and music in this film add a whole other level of horror to an already hellish situation. Some film buffs might also notice Randy Quaid in one of his earliest film roles as another American imprisoned with Billy. Overall, Midnight Express left me with a sick feeling. It challenges the viewer to endure countless acts of violence and brutality and yet still believe in the strength of the human spirit. A must own for any serious DVD collector. Highly Recommended.

Neary and Barry do have the common failing of not being notably articulate. Neary even once quotes Barry in trying to describe the UFOs as "like an ice-cream cone"--adding only that its flavor was "orange" (and this being an improvement over his first attempt: "there was a red whoosh..."). He does improve considerably in comparing them to the aurora borealis, the northern lights--but only mispronouncing "borealis." Jillian, more sensitive to the interpersonal side of things, does a better job too--and betraying herself a kindred spirit--when she spontaneously calls the visits in the sky "Halloween for grownups." Eventually standing at the end of a line of volunteer astronauts arranged by Lacombe (and the only one not carrying a large duffle-bag), Neary is singled out and playfully caressed by the playmate friends which Barry had already made, solidifying, confirming and celebrating the new family bonds (the most moving moment of the film, with music from Neary's favorite movie, Pinocchio, playing spaced-style ala John Williams). On the whole a remarkable accomplishment, and a Spielberg masterpiece (both written and directed by him). Taking nothing away from "alien contact," it still in its own way trumps it with a "family reunion." This theme was to recur in E.T., but there alien contact becomes tongue-in-cheek and all-too-familiar; one might even say that E.T. is "CE3K for dummies." Barry was no less interesting or precious than any alien; at one scene it is even made obvious that he looks a bit like his alien friends. The deep, personal contact of the kindred souls, even if visceral and inarticulate, is the real "encounter." It was this simultaneous solidifying of earthly and extraterrestrial bonds which was really the most striking thing about the film. After welcoming Neary, and just after "waving" to Lacombe, the alien takes a moment to gaze upon the human crowd with such an expression of wonder and amazement, it is breathtaking; another inspiring, moving and thoughtful scene--as if Spielberg were holding up a mirror to the human race. When Neary was caressed by Barry's playmates, they visibly did so with a sense of awe and amazement, a moment which moved Jillian to tears as she witnessed it herself; in a sense she sees Neary through the aliens' eyes. Yet why shouldn't aliens act that way? Why suppose that these imaginary beings of the story are more jaded than Barry, Jillian or Neary? Neary's virtue might be summarized by the simple fact that (as expressed in his own words, while once commenting on the UFOs), he 'didn't want to see this;' he was just someone open to truth and faithful to whatever he saw. He wanted to see Pinocchio with his kids. Are such attitudes really so unbelievable or trivial, or are they neither?

  Horror movie wise, there isn't that many great moments in the movie. The zombies are mediocre, I'd take Romero or Jackson zombies over these ones any day.  They're just not that frightning and they don't do a whole lot.  The part with the dogs is fairly decent, but the licker at the end of the movie is just plain laughable and crappy. The budget wasn't very big for this movie, but I've seen TV movies with better special effects then this movies licker. Although I must admit, the part where they're trapped in the corridor with lazers that our out of control, is one of those "wow" moments of horror movies.

Not very often does an interesting historical charecter show up in cinema, some actors get immersed in the charecters so well, so fine... you just have to believe that you are taken back right there at that very time. 'The Messenger' is one of those films that carry you all the way with it and take you back to its time, the time where a once little girl who turned out to be a rebellious young woman taking charge of the French army. The lead role is played brilliantly by Mila Jovovich, you simply run out of words when it comes to her performence. The pain, the madness, the temper, the true nature of Joan so beautifuly shown by the young actress. The film as a whole leaves you quite sattisfied, the performence, the acting, the directing, timing and a reasonable score. Look forward to some really good performence. It was good to see Pascal Greggory in a very brief role. A fine piece of cinema indeed.

Well, at the end of my day, I would have to say that it basically comes down to the "inner truths" playing in Billy Hayes' (the MOVIE'S Billy Hayes') own head.  Dramatically, the hatred he develops for Turkey and all things Turkish makes a certain sense.  And his worst utterances are delivered when he is in extremis certainly.  Discerning viewers will realize that it is the character speaking, not necessarily the filmmakers.

This film is based on  her life story and how she became the saviour of her country in the time of  crisis, The film start of when Joan (played by Milla Jovovich) is young and  for the next half and hour, you get to understand how Joan did what she did  later in the film. The middle section of the film involves 2 different  battle scenes, they are good, but not on the same league as Braveheart. The  last section of the film deals with Joan's trial by the English.  This film  is well put together by Luc Besson who also directed the Fifth Element and  Leon, the cinematography is great, the costume and backdrop are faithful to  the 15th century.

I would rate this movie a 4 of 5 stars!!
There are several reasons why I rate Gattaca as one of my all-time favorites. Unlike the Matrix, which seems like its a possibility a few 100-200 years from now, Gattaca is disturbingly around the corner. The movie gives a sneak peak in wonderful manner, of the possibilities of Genetic engineering, and allows the viewer to ponder over some of its more unintended consequences.

Much of the movie involves the consequences of such an action  immediately after the abduction as well as the scars that it leaves even 10  years later.  Vincent, who is not like 17, has become a hardened teen,  partly because of his guilt for letting Ben go and partly because his  mother stopped doing her job as a parent for so many years.  The  wife/husband relationship is also strained but is on the mend as Ben (now  called Sam) comes back into their lives.

This is one movie you might not fully appreciate after the first viewing. Thanks to the brilliant and captivating performance of Jude Law, I watched the film again, then again. After about the fourth viewing, I decided this is a "must own" for my sci fi collection. Although the ending is bittersweet, it does satisfy, leaving a glimmer of hope that the human spirit will triumph.
Finally, with the help of Jerome's "ladder", Vincent is accepted at the aeronautics company, where his superior work comes in for praise ("not one mistake in a million keystrokes").  However, complications ensue: Vincent falls in love with a beautiful colleague (his then-wife Uma Thurman) and is faced with the dilemma of whether to tell her what he really is, especially as she seems to suspect something unusual about him from the beginning - she steals a hair from his office comb (fortunately, Jerome's hair) to have tested at a DNA lab.

3): Commentary by cast & filmmakers
But for all the above, I think the main problem with this film is Luc Besson himself. The early stages are laden with meaningless cliches - wolves streaming through the forest, girl running through meadows - and laboured imagery (crucifix, fire, dripping blood and a combination thereof) which get the film off to a bad start from which it never recovers.


667	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Santa Claus is Comin' to Town came to ABC first in 1970, when Rankin/Bass was firing on all cylinders. The visual difference between this production and that of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is considerable, especially with regard to the immense, detailed sets and more intricate characters, designed by Paul Coker, Jr. Yes, there is the same animation "on two's and three's" as well as a few modest effects, but everything clicks within the brisk 51 minutes, none of which seem padded.

I am almost certain that the majority of these people that write this crap in movies are drunk, horney, 13 year old's. It's sick that these people make tons of money to produce meaningless garbage. I loved the video games and these movies were nothing like it. Nothing.

It seems Peter Fonda's main role is to look cool, and he does this quite well, but he does little else in the entire film. His emotional range does not register on the Richter scale.  Dennis Hopper's character is one-dimensional as well - we know all about him in the first 15 minutes of the film.  Only Jack Nicholson's character lends any acting credence to the film.  Nicholson shines as the lawyer who seeks the freedom to throw off society's restraints, but even Nicholson cannot save this sinking ship.

So-- I'm very glad to have been able to order this finally.  An interesting thing I read-- I had wondered why they did such a sudden set change for the apartments.  I guess they thought the show had been cancelled and they took the set apart already and got rid of it-- then they were called back for one more year-- so they had to slap together a new set!  This is also why Bob isn't always physically present in every episode-- he had booked other gigs when he thought his show had been cancelled-- so they had to make due without him.  Kind of a sad way for what was a really great show to go off-- But there you have it.  (I don't think this is the strongest season of the show, btw, but if you love Bob, you're still going to love it.)

So, in the end, is Resident Evil really the best effort they could have given? The answer is no, but it still has its fun moments. Whether it's seeing the zombie dogs, getting scared by a random loud noise, or seeing elevators kill people in particularly gruesome ways, Resident Evil still packs a (mild) punch.

9850	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I must admit that this movie did not appeal to me when it was first released in theaters.  However, many years ago, I rented it and was captivated by the story.  Since then I've had to make do with the underwhelming DVD edition.  If you are looking for a lot of action, then this movie is probably not for you.  What it does offer is a fantastic story with a cast that gives top notch performances.  If you already own the DVD, and are not sure if this one is worth the upgrade, believe me the Blu-ray edition blows the old DVD out of the water.  The sound and picture are near perfection.  The colors on the DVD version appear washed out compared to the high def color palette.  While this movie won't give your surround system a major workout, it does provide very clear ambient surround effects.  The special features include two new short documentaries on the making of the film.  While these don't compare to some of the extras offered on other titles, they are very informative and a welcome addition to the previous version.  My one fault would be that it would have been great to have at least a good commentary track, or even a picture in picture feature.  But, because I feared that this movie would never get the treatment it so rightly deserves, I would still highly suggest you add this title to your Blu-ray collection.
If you love motorcycles, this one is a must see.

The most dramatic and emotional scene for me was when Mary Magdalene's tears fell on Jesus's feet and she wiped them with her hair. The scourging scene lacked any impact, probably not to horrify the audience. According to evidence from the Holy Shroud of Turin and the witness of several Catholic mystics, His scourging was absolutely heart-rending in its horror. Of course, this being an obvious Protestant production, they gave short shrift to Jesus's mother, Mary! Maybe that is why they chose Luke, instead of using material from Matthew, Mark or John!!! I guess what I am looking for is a good Catholic rendering. Any good Catholic out there have about $100,000,000 (or possibly less), as I am ready to do it right!!!

4478	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Why do some directors and writers of horror movies think it's fair to completely annoy their audiences with these ambiguous endings, so that even though you may have enjoyed the movie, you hate the resolution!  It's such  a cop out.  It's like they're telling you, the third in the series is  coming out.  Unfortunately, this particular series should probably stop.  I  liked the first movie a lot; it was suspenseful, imaginative, and pretty  scary.  The acting was generally better too.  This time around, the acting  and script are pretty irritating.  First of all, anyone who knows their  geography will get a big clue early in the film.  Secondly, Freddie  Prinze's character is such a jerk in the beginning, you can't believe his  sudden transformation.  Third, I figured out the villain very early in the  film, so there was little suspense.  The acting overall is lame; Jennifer  Love Hewitt has decided to join Neve Campbell in the "I'm only doing  this for the money, and I'm really wasting my time in this silly horror  movie."  She does look a lot like Kate Jackson in this one, though.  Freddie Prinze is absolutely awful, completely unconvincing, and a pretty  shoddy hero, to boot.  The guy who plays Titus is an offensive,  stereotypical insult to intelligent viewers, providing none of the comic  relief the director obviously wanted.  Jeffrey Combs, who was so good in  the "Reanimator" movies looks as bored as Miss Hewitt, and does  nothing to pad his resume.  Three actors do manage to rise above their  material:  Jennifer Esposito as Nancy, the barmaid is very good; Brandy is  surprisingly effective as Julie's best friend, although her character does  become annoying and stupid; and Matthew Settle as the good-natured Bill is  very effective.  I still think Gorton's should sue for using their  fisherman image, but it is a horror movie.  That's what so sad.  It could  have been a lot better, but it's too predictable and a little too gory, as  well.  When all is said and done, "Halloween" and "A  Nightmare on Elm Street" (the first in the series) are still the  benchmarks for modern horror movies!

There are certainly flaws, the most glaring having to do with the time period. The opener hails the year: 1929. However, the film does not stick to that year. It includes Franklin D. Roosevelt as a character, and yet he was not elected president until 1932. Furthermore, the New Deal discussed in the film did not come about until 1933. Also, the film everyone goes to see in the theater is Camille from 1936. Even the most avoidable of mistakes occurs. In the beginning of the film, one learns that Annie is ten years old, but later, when reading her birth certificate, one learns that she was born in 1922. However, one with no interest in history could easily ignore these mistakes as they do not detract from the story.

Run Away!
The acting, portrayal of conditions and general lack of support and material for prosecuting a war against Great Britain was well done.

When I saw that I could purchase the entire series for some 40% off, I couldn't pass it up and I'm very glad I didn't.  If you are an anglophile, or even not an anglophile, but are tired of the barrage of mindless mediocrity in entertainment that surrounds us, then treat yourself to hours of truly intelligent, wry, witty and sometimes poignant entertainment.  I think you have to be over 40 to fully appreciate Rumpole.  Also, I was quite satisfied with the remastering.


Some of the initial episodes, sadly, are recorded only in black and white due to a technicians' strike in the early 70's. It doesn't actually detract from the enjoyment, just makes it a bit sad we can't see the sets and costuming as they were filmed. The black & white are sharp and clear, but the color episodes can be somewhat lower in resolution. The colors can be dim as well, but it doesn't detract. The cropping is often odd. This is not a perfect conversion from the television to DVD, but it's adequate and probably a lot has to do with changes in technologies since the 70's and the early days of television-to-DVD remastering.

I think some people thought this was suppose to be based on the first game for Sony Playstation, but it's not.

Actors playing multiple roles, idiots smacking coconut shells together to make horse-sounds, men playing most of the female roles, modern-day police tracking medieval knights, the use of the word "nee" to a huge extent and lots of blood gouting from gory wounds.  For those people, I can only have pity.

The film is truly worthwhile, if only to further instill some patriotism in your kids and remind yourself what our ancestors went through to gain our independence.

This is a nasty, pig-blood ugly little flick: Alan Parker (who also directed the equally moody, sultry, sweaty, stinky, and scary "Angel Heart) reaches deep into your cowardly heart and pulls out the true guts of fear: you're young, you're stupid, you're American, and you've really messed the hell up in a brutal, capricious, totally alien land. You're in *their* System, baby, and that System brooks absolutely no tapdancing bullsh*t artists.
I am so pleased to have this series -- nostalgia and history win with me every time and I have not regretted buying this -- not one bit. I also liked the extras you get with the set, it is nice listening to Jean Davies describe how the idea came about and also listening to writers, producers was, as I found, very interesting. As for the stories themselves -- each episode could stand on its own -- although they do follow. You meet delightful characters and also there is a lot of pathos, I have cried a few times -- and laughed. If you enjoy well written, well acted, stories about Britain's past then buy it.

In the first takeover scene on Air Force One, the bullets go flying literally all around you. The lossless audio is just outstanding.  Too many films skimp on proper audio production but not on this disc.  There is extensive use of all five channels from front to back, side to side and diagnally through the sound stage.

Of course,movies are rarely as good as the original material,be it a game or a book. So I was prepared to hate the movie. I didn't. As an action movie,it's quite good (although the music was loud and annoying).It didn't have much in the way of horror in it; unlike the games,it didn't scare me all that much. So if you keep your expectations low in comparing it to the games,it's an enjoyable enough action flick.

7897	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Another beautiful movie starring Robin Williams. Jeff Bridges plays a popular late night radio DJ/talk show host named Jack. Jeff's performance in this movie is amazing. Robin Williams plays a homeless man named Parry. Something Jack says on-air causes one of his callers to commit a fatal mass shooting in a restaurant. Jack had been on top of the world with stylish clothes, a beautiful apartment, and, obviously, a good job. Once the radio station realizes that Jack's comments instigated the mass murder, he loses his job and goes into a downward spiral. Finally, Jack is ready to jump off a bridge and who stops him from doing this? The homeless man Parry of course. Another twist is that Parry was in the restaurant the night of the shooting and his wife was killed right in front of Parry. Parry does rescue Jack and they strike up a friendship after Jack puts the pieces together that Parry was in the restaurant. Robin's performance is painful to watch because he does such a good job portraying human suffering. Robin could have won an Oscar for his performance. The Fisher King is another movie that will make people cry. Some people, including me, may feel that the movie is too heartwrenching to watch more than once.

3870	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Idle hands is hopefully at the end of a cycle of horror flixs that was started in 1996 by Scream, a satire of the slasher pictures of the 70s. Like all cycles in the movie business, this one has been brought down by the weight of too many cheap and derivative knockoffs When this happens, it finally doesn't matter if a movie in the category is good or not. People don't buy it. Ironically, the next big cycle was kicked off this summer by another, albeit more sophisticated and serious, horror genre - the psychological horror / ghost story [The Blair Witch Project, The Sixth Sense]. Idle Hands is further handicapped by being neither one of the best nor one of the worst of the "scream" cycle.

Because many film buffs have already seen the flick, it's probably better to discuss the bells and whistles contained within the DVD.  I have an old VHS copy that was beginning to lose its luster, so I added the Collector's Edition DVD to my library. Here are my thoughts on the "extras":

One of the funnest thing about this film is how many things go unexplained.  That means a lot of it remains under the surface, where answers are implied but never made explicit.  Why now?  What were the aliens looking for?  Why was Dreyfus "invited"?  (Did they see something in him?  Were they testing similar people?  Why didn't his friend feel ready to go as well?)  If you are so inclined, these questions can ignite your imagination as the best sci-fi can.

When they can't pay up..they lose all of their assets and he even fires his assistant"Thatcher"for trying to get his boss to reopen the failed  mill to create new industry and jobs for the unemployed workers. But "Slade"soon learns the folly of his ways from the ghost of his late partner"Jack Latham"..who tells him that his cruel nature will be the ruin of him and to prevent his soul from being dammed..he must expects the visits of three more ghosts..that night.."Slade"does receive those visitations..and thru the retelling of his past and seeing tragedy of a lonely and sad death..he learns his lesson and although he doesn't became a happier soul like"Scrooge"..He does learn to deal with people in a better way..This film is a wonderful retelling of the Yultide tale and Mr. Winkler gives his best performance ever.

Much better than the original. Still mixes comedy and horror, but the special effects are very good, and the comedy is less obtrusive and more effective.
The acting is nearly flawless. It's an extreme thing to say, but the world in this film feels so entirely genuine and real because of the emotion we see conveyed on screen. The direction and writing is, of course, awesome. Special effects--still impressive, and almost more convincing than the stuff we see today. Beautiful cinematography, and the musical score is cosmic and moving.



Like the game, the complications rearrange the order of priorities and the journey is constantly being redesigned according to the new obstacles found. Like the game, some characters have secret agendas and everything leads to the high-powered action confrontation scene.
I was a bit surprised to learn that not only did John Carpenter co-write the original screen play for this unique movie which deftly mixes the genres of suspense, crime, horror, and romance into a highly intriguing movie that is a sly commentary not only on glamorizing death to sell merchandise; but of those who create the demand for the desensitization of violence and sexuality to increase a product's bottom line; but John Carpenter also came up with the original story as well.

While it isn't overly scary, they do a great job on make-up with the zombies.  The plot is very easy to follow and keeps you on the edge of yours seat the whole time.  There are some great performances by the 2 lead roles, and the movie keeps a mysterious, dark undertone throughout the movie like is felt in the video game.  If you enjoy the video game you are going to love this movie, although it is hardly even loosely based on the video game.  But since this is coming out to video soon, this is a great movie to rent and have fun with.  This movie isn't meant to be overly scary or original, as it does borrow from other zombie movies heavily.  Its meant to be one hell of a fun ride and thats exactly what it is!

The stunts in this movie are great, including a scene with a refueling tanker, and a scene where the president must ride a tether to get out of the plane.

Actually the characters Winkler plays aren't all that different from each other.  Slade felt abandoned and betrayed by those he'd loved, and Fonzie was also abandoned by his parents.  Winkler's parents turned their backs on him when he was a young man because he wanted to be an actor instead of following the family business.  I believe that's why he does rolls like this so well.

There were naturally a couple of scenes that were lame or dumb, such as Alice jumping via motorcycle into the church where the other characters are battling against some Lurkers, not knowing where she was going to land and who she might squish on the other side.  A little bit reckless, but I'll forgive it as a theatrical flair.  And of course if a zombie/undead resurrecting virus gets lose one of the first things you would put on your site seeing list is a stroll through the cemetary, right?  Well our characters did, and of course the buried zombies don't crawl out of their graves until our characters are right dead smack in the middle of the cemetary.  Sigh... well every horror movie has to have the character stupidity moments and maybe the buried zombies didn't have enough willpower to dig themselves out until they started to smell fresh blood standing right on top of them.  All right I'll forgive that stuff.

The clash between the Loyalist American English and the Continental American English is not really shown, just the one between the Continentals and the British along with their Hessen allies/mercenaries, which is nonetheless fascinating and very well presented throughout the film; but then so is the clash within the Continental side (the undermining, the personality clashes-Washington vs Gates and Lee etc, favoritism-the contingency plan in having Sullivan arrest Lee), as well as the problems between Congress and the Army (there are the subtlest of hints for the latter/Ral's sword sent to Congress).

Travis takes her on a date but his lack of social skills soon ruin the date after he takes Betsy to an adult movie playing in a local cinema. These early scenes show a lack of maturity and isolation of Travis who is detached and indifferent to normal behaviour. But deep down Travis has a sense of morality and is often sickened by what he sees on the streets, the crime and prostitution. He starts to tone himself up and vent his frustration into physical training
Even on the VHS tape of this movie, there is an interview following the movie.

Yes, Joan constantly asked for confession.  The concept of confession is very important in the Catholicism and in the path to saint.  Luc Besson couldn't be more accurate in portraying Joan's feverish faith in God:  her confession in the beginning of the movie till the last,  the continuous examination by the Conscience, her absolute confidence in God when she was burned at stake.  That she won battle after battle, that she saved France from the foreigner in the 15th century, that her single-mindedness and devotion to her country are only penalized by her fellow countrymen out of greed, jealousy and power.
1232	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	An awesome action adventure. Creative and involving. Sean Connery delivers a great performance as Sir August DeWynter, an maniacal genius and former British Intelligence agent (?) with an axe to grind with the Royal Empire. He has stolen control of a satellite that allows him to control the weather everywhere on the planet. He is holding the world hostage and has a hefty ransom. So British super agent John Steed (Ralph Fiennes) is called into action to stop him, and he is first advised to bring in Dr. Emma Peel (Uma Thurman), a noble prize winning physicist and the number one suspected ally of DeWynter after video footage of her surfaces implicating her in the murder of a high ranking member of the British business community. After he brings her in to meet Mother and Father, they determine she is innocent. But if so, then who is the woman on the video? They decide to team up to get some answers, and start at the home of Sir August DeWynter, where they quickly discover who their enemy is. But he is ready for their every move, and has them both at his mercy in a hurry. But they also soon discover he has a friend on the inside who gave him vital information to help him steal the weather satellite. A mole in British Intelligence. But who? This a exciting and involving action film that has every bit of the charm and charisma of the popular 60's TV series, and all the gadgets as well. It gets a 90's update, of course, but still keeps true to the show at the same time. Thurman and Fiennes have great onscreen chemistry, and as I mentioned, Connery was awesome. The idea of him being a former British agent was a bit cheesy, but still worked well. Brief nudity and mild language are all parents will have to worry about. There's a ton of action and snappy banter, as well as tea. Their was no sequel, which I felt was unfortunate. It didn't exactly kill at the box office, which might be its only downfall. I found it enjoyable and fun.

Even this very first movie has many of Allen's trademarks. For a relatively low budget movie, the quality of the music is very, very good, with original pieces contributed by the up and coming Marvin Hamlisch. Even though the supporting cast is not filled with a lot of highly recognizable actors, most of the faces such as the chain gang supervisor all seem to have a vaguely familiar look about them. Allen's female lead is Janet Margolin, for whom this is probably the highlight of her career. His `Bananas' costar, Louise Lasser, later of `Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman' appears in a very small role.

The government does send two females in their nearly all-white-male submission to the aliens. And the movie features the two women in the cast showing two different points of view - the one who shies away from the aliens for her kids and the one who goes towards the aliens for her kid. But really, 99% of the movie is about men. The two women never talk to each other and barely see each other as they pass in one scene. Dreyfuss has one woman to take care of his kids, another woman to empathize with his dreams, and it doesn't seem like he gives his family even a passing glance before he hops the next spaceship out of there. He created those three kids - but he was apparently "meant for so much more". They annoy him with their talk of fractions and mini-golf.

I may get some argument on this, but I think "Taxi Driver" might be Martin Scorsese's greatest work. It has everything -- a great plot, incredible acting, and despite it being a harrowing, dark film, it has elements that are eye and ear candy. Especially ear candy: "Taxi Driver" and Brian de Palma's "Obsession" were the last two scores from the great Bernard Hermann, who had written so many incredible pieces for Alfred Hitchcock. Hermann's work on "Taxi Driver" really helps ratchet up the tension, and does so without being especially "edgy" or, worse yet, pretentious. From blaring brass to softer woodwinds to, at times, just a simple percussive beat, the music helps draw you into main character Travis Bickle's lonely, twisted world.

  The first season seems almost experimental--many of the episodes have specific themes, such as those mentioned above.  A couple were unsuccessful and their events are never referred to again (for example, "The Swedish Tiger").  In the remaining seasons, events tend to build over the thirteen episodes, to culminate to some extent in the final episode of the season, which usually deals with a major event in the world (for example the King's death at the end of the second season, the start of the war in the third, the end of the war in the fourth).

Throughout the movie is an undercurrent of dissonance between an anti-oppression philosophy and the characters' aimless,testosterone-fueled adventures. While Stevo and his friends rail against "fascism," they glorify violence and act in ways that perpetuate the "macho" dominant culture. Fights are a way of life, and in one scene, Stevo (who claims earlier that "nobody owns anybody") catches the woman he likes with someone else and proceeds to beat the daylights out of the rival, who he accuses of "invading his territory." A less obvious irony is Stevo's...well...patriotism! He goes to great lengths to extol the superiority of America's punk scene, in one instance harassing a singer from the UK who's been roughed up by Stevo and other patriotic punks.

While I am not thrilled with all the choices the characters make along the way, I do think the movie ends in a good place - though some might find it maudlin.  In my view, the character that comes off best is Charlie Gargas, David's Boss, played by the always effective Hector Elizondo.

6704	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Having been somewhat fascinated by the life of Joan of Arc, and entertained by the French flair of Director Luc Besson's movies, it pains me to say that my disappointment in THE MESSENGER is most profound.  Truly, with such a promising opening scene and more than a couple of excellent actors at its disposal - not to mention a mythical and supernatural aura intertwined with an amazing history - one would expect, even at the very least, a little glimmer of brilliance.

But the BEST feature in this DVD for me is the 1997 "Making Of" documentary filmed with Steven Spielberg on the set of "Saving Private Ryan".  Interviews with cast, and crew reliving the making of CE3K make this a must-see!
For the film's key element, the producers researched the real AF1, as much as they could, but much about the craft remained classified.  Within that pseudo-realistic framework however, reality is seriously mangled, as Marshall travels with relative ease, and the hull is never breached by a bullet.  The terrorists are terribly inefficient, failing to take immediate control of the cockpit, and letting the President escape.  Oldman's Korshunov, is quite the patriot, when threatening women and a child, but isn't much as commander of men.  The cast also includes William H. Macy (Sahara), Wendy Crewson, Xander Berkley, Paul Guilfoyle (CSI) Dean Stockwell (Quantum Leap), Liesel Mathews (A Little Princess), and Jurgen Prochnow (Das Boot).

What a pity. I have viewed every version released on video and DVD and each one changes the feel and direction of the movie in some way and none of them match the impact and intent of the original.
This movie is a masterpieace of British Comedy.  There are wonderful and unforgettable lines like "Bring out your dead" and "The knights who say nee".  It is loaded to the gills with humor and wit from the genius minds that brought you classics like "The Life of Brian" and "A Fish called Wanda".

The music score by Marylin Manson works great. I detest that guy's personna, but I am forced to give him credit here. He did make me laugh once when he said in an interview that at a multi-artist gig he felt he had succeeded if at least he made a few Alannis Morriset fans throw up.

Trey Callaway's script is not perfect. While he does mix in freaky-as-hell horror with funny-as-hell comedy quite well with some great in-jokes and an excellent setting for a horror film, there is not much depth or range in the film. He does make sure all the possibilities are used for the killing scenes and horror action, but if Kevin Williamson had written this sequel, I feel it would've been a little more plausible. If you've seen the end of I Know What You Did Last Summer you'll know what I'm talking about, Ben Willis just couldn't of survived.

 Besides the film's look, one cannot forget the soundtrack of the movie. It included a diverse selection of artists, and who can forget the Steppenwolf's overplayed Born To Be Wild, which opens the movie? Other than that, music of The Byrds, Jimi Hendrix, and Bob Dylan captured the film.
There is really no surprise as to this film's ending. Yet in many ways it is poetically perfect as Bronson, having saved the day, disappears back into the shadows never to return. This is a street legend as old as the hills. We watch the recent film "Sea Biscuit" and roll our eyes at its excess. We watch "Hard Times" and understand this tale at heart, is a simple yet inspirational one. Rarely has the legend been more perfectly executed on film.

Dreyfuss is drawn to an alien landing. "The Third Kind" indicates actual contact with UFOs. The film tries to create a sense of realism. So far, UFO stories have been hoaxes and science fiction.

Charles Bronson is Chaney, who travels from town to town, picking up money on bare knuckle fights and then moving on.  James Coburn as huckster promoter Speed and Strother Martin as Poe, as a dope addict corner man. The best fight is a terrific battle in a cage between Bronson and movie bad guy the late Robert Tessier! Ol' Chuck tatooes his pointy-bald head with his fists. It is actually better than the final confronation between Chaney and a top fighter brought in by a gangster. Fun fair. This is pan and scan so be warned.

4180	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	"Deep End of the Ocean" is one of the most effective and emotionally heartwrenching films I have ever seen. It really shows how it only takes a minute for a child to be kidnapped and his family to be permanently affected because of it. Michelle Pfeiffer is excellent as Beth Cappadora, the loving but somewhat ditzy young mother who takes her two small sons and her infant daughter with her to a high school reunion at a hotel. There, Beth makes perhaps the biggest mistake of her life when she leaves the two boys alone right smack in the middle of a very crowded lobby while she pays at the front desk. As can only be expected when two young children are left unsupervised, something happens. The younger son--3-year-old Ben--disappears and is not found. After a series of breakdowns and withdrawals, Beth is finally able to start putting her life back together with the help of Pat, her extremely loving and supportive husband. Just when things are finally getting better for Beth and her family, a 12-year-old Ben randomly shows up at the Cappadoras' doorstep, so beginning another long period of confusion, fear, discomfort, and pain for everyone involved. It really is a very moving film; much like "The Face on the Milk Carton," but with a very different conclusion. "The Deep End of The Ocean" really grasps the issues of child abduction, the effects that it has on the other children in the family, and everything a mother goes through when she realizes that her child is lost and may never be seen again. I was personally touched by Jonathan Jackson's character--Vincent, the oldest Cappadora son. Only seven years old at the beginning of the movie, he ends up holding his family together when Ben disappears, and he is clearly overlooked throughout it all. Obviously, this plays a big part in the behavioral issues and problems that Vincent develops as he grows older. The character he plays is very realistic, and you come to understand how much he truly was overshadowed when Ben disappeared and how much he needs to know that his parents still love him and have forgiven him for what happened. (I won't say what he needs forgiveness for, but it all ties together in the movie.) Treat Williams was masterful as the loving husband. To me, he was the strongest part of the movie. He loved his wife unconditionally, he was a very caring father, and all he wanted was to help make his family whole again. Although he is sometimes a little unrealistic through his opinion that everything will fall right into place, it is very nice to know that there is a character in the movie with a very optimistic viewpoint and a belief that things will be all right in the end.

The Ugly:

Another issue is embedded in the relationship between Jackie and Isabel. Jackie has the maternal instinct where Isabel is trying her best, and the story is intensified emotionally by the clashes in how they feel the children should be raised. When Jackie realizes that Isabel is going to be a permanent part of her children's lives, she also comes to the realization that she cannot keep arguing with her about how to raise the children. As they come to an understanding of one another, it's intriguing to watch the two actresses interact onscreen.

The vast majority of the running time is spent watching Vincent cover his genetic tracks as he enacts a plan to join a space mission by posing as a Valid by borrowing the identity of a crippled athlete.  He has urine samples, nail clippings, hair, fake ID, and everything else to pass the constant genetic screenings.  The screenings and the fervency of those involved seem to indicate that the innocent "best person for the job" ideology has evolved into outright racism.  Along the way, our everyman courts a Valid played by Uma Thurman, who looks extremely genetically superior in this.  Seeing Vincent dust his skin dust off of his keyboard and enact successively more complex plans to bypass the system got old to me quickly.  I didn't much care about him nailing a hot Valid chick either. After a while, I just wanted the movie to be over already.  we all knew how it was going to end from the second he looked up at that rocket.  The rest was filler.  Very sappy filler.
If you enjoy "Roxanne," then check out these other films on the AFI's list: #10 "City Lights," #24 "King Kong," and #34 "Beauty & the Beast."  Why?

 Indeed it does not have a high body count, much gore, or attempt to really frighten - but it does deal with a terrifying premise: the apocalypse. It also has some disturbing images woven throughout and is darkly themed. It is more of a horror meant to disturb and deeply interest than lightly entertain or terrify.
At the center of the story is Tom Wingo (Nick Nolte), a middle-aged Southern football coach with a wife and three children. The film's calendar art opening sequence serves to show his childhood in an appealing light, yet his adult life is anything but enjoyable. His wife is estranged from him, put off by his humorous approach to serious situations and by his unwillingness to discuss the pitfalls of their marriage. When his mother, whom he clearly despises, informs him that his sister Savannah has attempted suicide again, he heads off to New York City, where he will meet with her psychiatrist, Dr. Susan Lowenstein (Barbra Streisand), to help her unlock the pain in Savannah's subconscious.
Andrew Niccol makes his film dbut with Gattaca (1997).  Born in New Zealand he is also a screen writer and director.  He directed TV commercials in London before moving to Los Angles, where he felt that he could do something with more substance than commercials.  Niccol actually made our deepest fantasies come true with this sci-fi thriller film.  One is reminded of Orwell's book 1984, which also delves into the mind of the devious, not to mention Lois Lowry's book, The Giver.  Both authors, along with Niccol give us glimpses into a futurist world where society is stratified; life is pretty much predictable for the privileged, those not so well endowed have to scrounge for their very existence.  The message here is that we need to face our deepest fears and conquer them.  We have the means at our disposal to do anything that we want or put our minds to do.

Demi Moore is believeable, and Jurgen Prochnow is fantastic, as always.  It really doesn't give the details that most of the other stories do...almost as if discussing a religious story might be so offensive to the movie watchers, that they prefer to avoid almost all of the actual biblical lore.

From the first minute of this film, you are drawn in by a powerful story and beautiful cinematography. Every minute after the first is so compelling and believable.

After the initial introductions to the two secret agents, they begin to check out Sir August's true plans and wherabouts. The movie quickly turns into a series of badly edited action scenes that fall flat every time and a series of scenes that literally make no sense at all in the grand scheme of things.
Another typical aspect of this movie is that it is a parody of documentaries, although not with such loving artfulness as Allen does in `Zelig'.

Eventually the raft drifts to some islands and upon coming ashore the two discover what seems to be a large abandoned military fortified gun emplacement. There are tense moments trying to discover whether it is Japanese or American, and tellingly, Marvin becomes concerned that the eagerly exploring Mifune may be shot by some American forces due to his being Japanese.

One thing that is entirely absent is any intellectuality. I can't recall any joke for which you need to read a Russian novel or see a classic silent movie to understand. While it strikes me that poor Virgil Starkwell does have some mock heroic aspects which may have been borrowed from `Don Quixote' or `Candide', I think that may be my seeing things of which Allen had no inkling.

Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) walks into the Catholic church to make a confession. She tells the priest about killing a man. She mentions the man's name as "Ben Willis". The priest says, "I know". Julie then says, "You know?". We then see the priest is actually Ben Willis.  Julie lets out a big scream as she wakes up from a dream in the classroom. Julie leaves upset and Will (Matthew Settle) runs to her to see if she is alright.  These dreams won't go away. It is nearly July 4. It has been one year ago.  Ray comes to visit Julie. She wants him to stay, but he has to go back to work.
The story:  The Umbrella Corporation is a very wealthy business.  It sells household products everywhere.  But what the public doesn't know is that it makes most of its money off of human experimentaion and biological weapons.  One day....something goes wrong.  Very wrong.  That's all you need to know.  There's a bunch of twists and turns this movie takes that I am not going to give away.  But let me say this....this movie has one hell of a dark and twisted ending that really made the movie that much better.
So, if you've got a free afternoon and need some decent entertainment in terms of action, suspense, and zombie-popping fun, go for this flick. It's not like the games, but I guess we'll have to gag and bind Paul Anderson for him to do a *real* Resident Evil film.
The zombies in this movie were excellant as well. They had a eerieness to them being shot in slow motion (in the beginning) and looked very realistic. As realistic as one would imagine a zombie to be. And, beeing a fan of die hard Horror movies, I have to say that these zombies get 2 thumbs up from me! The director didn't focus too much on them so as not to make this appear as another "Dawn of the Dead" movie. He kept up with them and the story line which was great.

The cinematography is stunning and I really appreciate the alternate ending. I find the original ending really sucks big time.

The last episode is a touching one, since we would have gotten used to the characters and feel that we know them already. I was sorry to see the members of the Bellamy household disbanded like that. I especially felt heart-pangs when Rose (Jean Marsh) was closing down the empty house. The ghosts of the past whispered into her ears as she did this, from floor to floor of 165 Eaton Place.

5773	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	This movie series is an abomination and if you come across any copies please make sure to burn them. A bunch of people making a resident evil movies who have never even played the games. Oh the irony. I bet George A. Romero would've done a much better job. Point is, if you don't know the source material you're basing your work on don't base your work on it.
6571	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	Where to start, where to start. I know... the game. Resi Evil the game was, and still is, one of the greats. It had everything you could've hoped for. Zombies, action, scaryness, and a conspiracy/mystery. The sequels continued the story, and once again great. They where like movies themselves. Now, lets look at the movie on its own before we compare it to the original game (resident Evil 1 - psone). The casting of Milla Jovovich, although she can't act, wasn't bad. It was the others who where terrible. Michelle Rodriguez... OH MY GOD, when she tried to act tough, i squirmed. The Story... oh yeah, there is no story. The zombies... people with a bit of grey make up and contacts (although the dogs where good). Action... Yawn. Scary level 1-10 (10 highest) -4. Sory to sound sarcastic, but it stunk. Now the comparison. With the game, you had a great story with real suprising twists. You had real terror, and great music to go with it. Even the characters where top (although the voice acting is the only bad point on this game). It was gritty, it never had mad sci fi gizmos... it was a true horror game with true horror survival game play and could've been easily converted in to a film. But no, Paul Anderson (One of the worst directors ever) some how gets the job to turn this great game in to a film. Instead of keeping to the story, he throws out all the work done by the guys at Capcom and uses the name to tell his own so-called story. he throws out the characters of resi evil and brings his own in. Who ever says this is a kick ass movie deserves to have there ass's kicked. I've heard this be called a prequel. If its a prequel, where's Albert Wesker. Bye this film at your own preil. Regarding the sequel, Apocalypse, i've seen stills of Milla and the new character, Jill Valentine (thats right) and four words come to mind, looks cheap and tacky. Don't let the trailer fool you. Kick ass film... yeah right... idiots. If the review sounds rough, sorry. Very angry man. Paul Anderson has destroyed any chance of a proper Game Adaptation with Resi Evil, With Chris Redfield the main guy, and Albert Wesker the arch nemeisis and the betrayer. I Hope the studios see sense and don't make a 3rd resi film, and leave it a few years for a proper director to come in and revive the franchise in the proper way.

5099	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	With BOTTLE ROCKET the Wilson Bros. and Wes Anderson launched their impressive careers. And no wonder, for this film is a delight to watch. It's completely devoid of the cynicism, brutal violence, and pop-culture-ridden cliches of mid '90s filmdom. I completely fell in love with Owen Wilson's acting, his comic delivery and utterly sincere reading of Dignan, was like nothing I'd ever seen. Of course Anderson & Wilson's script, though nowhere near as astute as RUSHMORE or THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS, is the real charmer here. They are the Dynamic Duo of scriptwriting today, it's too bad Oscar didn't notice that this year. I look forward to their future collaborations and solo projects.

The kid and Lou Gosset meet up when the kid's challenged to race the local bully with his PLANE while the bully's using his dirt bike.  Suffice it to say he wins and impresses his babe; he doesn't get his slot at the USAF Academy, though. You gotta take the bad with good I guess.  When the words on Dad get back to the family, this kid uses his base "network" to get access to imagery, enemy air defense data, and two F16s carrying a B52's worth of ordinance.  All of this being done by his friends exploiting the dim bulbs who are their parents, no less.  (If only strike planning was this easy.)  Of course, the kid has flown training missions with his dad, and has a boatload of simulator time, so he's a natural to fly the mission.  He convinces Gosset to go along with him, and his two-ship is on the way.  The flying scenes are nothing spectacular, with obviously Israeli F16s playing the good guys, and Kfirs (modified Mirages) acting as MiGs.  Cockpit scenes are completely the imagination of the set designer; I'm guessing he never was anywhere near a real aircraft.  These are especially dated now as many computer flight sims are pretty darn accurate in cockpit, flight, and combat models.  Anyway, lots of explosions on the way in, Lou gets hit and aborts and our hero must press on alone-go figure.  He manages to talk with the evil dictator directly and get his dad on the runway for him to land (!) and pick him up.  More silliness ensues as he launches weapons on the ground, taxi's out and takesoff.  He kills the bad guy and heads home to find Lou punched out and was rescued.  Rather than the prison sentence for espionage, and theft of government property that Lou, the kid, his pals and the idiots they exploited on base should've got, he gets his slot at the Air Force Academy.  The end.

8066	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Not many movies have stayed with me as strongly as this one has. I watched it again last night and found it just as enthralling as when I first saw it at the cinema. My companions, who hadn't seen it before, loved it, and I had the opportunity to savour again some of the great set pieces - the naked romp in Central Park, the ballroom scene in Grand Central Station, the most over-the-top singing telegram in film history, and more. A feature of the film not mentioned by other reviewers is the way in which Manhatten is not only the backdrop to the action, but almost a character in its own right. I love the way Terry Gilliam has mythologised the city. When I visited Central Park, for example, I couldn't help imagining the red knight charging through the undergrowth, couldn't help seeing the skyscrapers as medieval fortresses. Another thing I noticed on a second viewing was simply how superlative the acting is. Despite the tone of melodrama throughout the film, each and every performance is utterly convincing. First time round I loved Robin Williams's performance. This time I was particularly struck by the dynamic between Jeff Bridges and oscar-winner Mercedes Ruehl.  The only complaint I heard after last night's viewing was that the start was a bit slow. In all, though, this film ought to have made everyone involved with its making very proud. I hope they are.
in short this movie takes off where resident evil left off and shows a virus breakout onto the city of raccoon.

CONDORMAN is loosely based on Robert Sheckley's novel&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-Game-of-X/dp/0441273084/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The Game of X</a>, which I haven't read but have just now ordered online because I hear good things about it. Catering to Woody's intent that Condorman be an international crime fighter, his plan to help Natalia defect involves their navigating a circuitous route, from Yugoslavia to the Swiss Alps to a final showdown in Monte Carlo. Considering that they end up running a gauntlet of enemy operatives in all their stops, they might as well have taken a direct flight home. But where's the fun in that, right? I thought it a perfect touch that Krakov is able to anticipate Condorman and Natalia's itinerary simply by reading Woody's comic books.
Russia would never give up dangerous men either. They'd tell us they felt bad for the president being in danger and would tell us to shove are demands where the sun don't shine.




I have always enjoyed the story and the actors.  This version is especially finger snapping, foot patting
Okay, that's it then. I just answered my own question. The reason Hollywood holds such disdain for this film is simply because it does not like being the subject of such debates as morality and ethics. It's not like it is any big secret, though, that Hollywood is full of phonies, Satanists, (...)and demon worshipers. The world knew that years ago. It doesn't seem to hurt the grosses, though, does it? People keep seeing the movies. They keep watching television. They keep tuning into that political media circus that is the Oscars. Holly weird is clearly doing okay. So, why did this film scare them so? Don't ask me.

The series did try to bring to life the big events going on at the time the series is set. It also showed how the upstairs people and the servants saw these events in very similar ways in many cases.

One finds  one's self looking forward to her execution.
9284	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	If you have not seen this film, seriously, you've been deprived.  Monty Python was going strong in the late 60s/early 70s and after the show ended, the team decided to embark on a film project which led to "Monty Python and the Holy Grail."  Released in 1975, this film has stood the test of time and produced many fans around the world and developed cult status.  Monty Python followed up with two sequels ("Life of Brian," "Meaning of Life"), but of the three this comedy marvel is still the strongest.

Dozens of other characters come in and out of the various plots throughout the years. Most notable are Richard Bellamy's first wife Lady Marjorie and a niece, Georgina.

But as a whole 'Resident Evil: Apocalypse' is a bit disappointment, because of its recycled ideas and mediocre actions.  What if Paul W.S. Anderson (who wrote the script, but went to direct 'Alien vs Predator') directed this?  I don't know, but perhaps, just perhaps, made it more effective than Alexander Witt, who was the second director for pefectly choleographed 'Pirates of the Carribians.'

Thinking about Closer Encounters (after only first watching the whole movie on TV 5 or so years ago), I had to wonder, myself, if this film was focusing on Richard Dreyfuss's mental illness. I remembered the scene of him throwing shrubs out the window. Are masses of American men in such dire straights? What about real people, apparently, who honestly believe they have been visited by UFO's? Is this film exploring mental illness, or is it meant to bring to life the thoughts of someone who genuinely believes they've been visited by aliens? Could there be a more noble cause than giving voice to such a voiceless and likely powerless person?

What really makes this movie so good is the use of odd camera angles and some very eerie saxophone music.  A great movie that triggers all of your senses.

The film ends with an invitation to salvation, and with it the promise of "a full, abundant life, filled with purpose and meaning", and with a quote from Revelation 3:20: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him".
John Mortimer introduces each segment with "Opening Remarks" - wow, presented by the writer as his perspective on his own character.

One of the reviewers claims that this is only happening inside Bickle's mind (right after the shoot-out) ...I can't say more from fear of spoiling it for those who have yet to see this powerful flick... I will only say that I doubt Scorsese and Shrader are that clever to have thought of it. Say, for the sake of argument, that that's what they meant and intended...well, then, I'd say it's pure genius on their part. However, I doubt it.
The box set includes not only the different versions of the movie from the theatrical release to the 1980 Special Edition and also a more recent Collector's Edition that includes a bunch of once-deleted scenes and what I think is a much smoother ending. We also get a bunch of interviews, documentaries, and associated standard DVD extras like deleted scenes. The sound and visual quality is superb and quite beautifully mastered, with even dark scenes crisp and easy to see. The creators of this edition really worked hard to take full advantage of modern technology. Even if someone has one of the previous Close Encounters DVD, this might be a really good upgrade to consider for its extras and incredible mastering. And if one has not ever seen this classic, what better time to jump in?

With all these available dramatic premises, the expectations were too high. But the screenwriters bet for a tearful approach in the third movement of the play when a sudden twist of fate will intend to make us aware about the importance of the familiar values, above any serious conceptual difference between the new visitor and the original mother.

This leads to a great elevator scene with Bridges and Jeter, who's all decked out like a showgirl.

Overall, "Resident Evil:  Apocalypse" is a very solid, zombie thriller that doesn't stand up well on it's own, but when coupled with the first film, the two make for a very entertaining thrill ride of zombie mayhem.

One prime example of why I liked the movie was when Parry sees Lydia come walking through the crowd and all of a sudden all of the hustling and bustling commuters are waltzing around the room. The only two people not caught in dance are Parry and Lydia. Once she is out of his sight, the dancing was no more. It was this little detail set among others of the sort that show that maybe there was a little extra effort put into direction of The Fisher King. I have to say it was appreciated.

  So, please do not listen to the people who are slamming "Resident Evil." They are the same people who, like many critics, go to "Friday The 13th" films looking for character development. That, in itself, is as silly as watching "There's Something About Mary" for it's heart-wrenching drama. No, folks, this is a zombie film through and through, quite possibly one of the very best since Romero's "Day Of The Dead." It's not Shakespeare, but it is a whole lot of good old fashioned fun!

It helps that Condorman has a supporting cast who mostly plays it straight, notably Oliver Reed as the sinister Russian masterspy Krakov, Barbara Carrera as the exotic femme fatale Natalia, and James Hampton who plays Woody's amiable pal and CIA contact Harry Oslo. Jean-Pierre Kalfon, the sorta scary one-eyed Russian hitman Morovich, does it over-the-top, but, really, what else can you do when you're sporting a menacing glass eye and tearing down the Yugoslavian roads in an intimidating black Porsche? And, man, watching this film again just brings back those good old days, when the Iron Curtain was still up and the U.S. and the USSR were still kicking it Cold War. The prevailing thought back then was that the Russian Bear would be a superpower forever...

Because the movie fills itself with dramatic nothingness, as only great comedy can.
it is also very interesting to see the underlying theme of self confidence, perseverance, determination, unity, sacrifice, optimism, and trust throughout the movie. which was the nation's feeling and identity in the pre-911 days.

It doesn't matter if you've ever played the video game or not - Resident Evil is just an exciting, action-packed horror film.  I don't consider it to be the least bit scary, but it is quite atmospheric. As a horror fan, I must say I've never counted zombies among my favorite monsters - let's face it, they're basically mindless, slow-footed creatures with no erotic potential whatsoever - so I'm not just whistling Dixie when I say that Resident Evil is a great movie.  Of course, a lot of the credit has to go to Milla Jovovich, the finest of one-woman killing machines.

Furthermore, the fast action scenes (i.e. minions of zombies being massacred by 3 people) are obscenely influenced by the stylistic renderings of the MTV age. Any gore that may have been present in these sequences is completely blanketed in an overkill of rapid-fire filmmaking tricks and stunts. So while it may come as a surprise to all 4 (count `em!) of the producers, the jittery camera pans, quick editing, flickering lights and extreme close-ups just make for one unpleasant mess.

My main objection is that the scriptwriter decided she could improve on Charlotte Bronte. Instead of sticking to the words in the book as closely as possible, she completely rewrote the dialogue.

The audio is a lossless soundtrack (DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless). Voices sound very crisp and clear. Sound effects in general are very good. Audiofiles will notice some very rich sounding sections, but also some that are just acceptable. Overall, it is very enjoyable with nice use of surround sound and I think most people will be more than happy with it.
I have deducted one star for the technical problems of this DVD set, which have been cited by other reviewers as well.  A&E obviously didn't lavish the same attention to detail on the mastering of these discs as the writers, directors, and actors who created the show, and it's a shame.

Two opposing themes are prevalent throughout. At one end of the spectrum, society has accepted that science is advanced enough to pinpoint the outcomes of one's destiny from birth to death as well as tell in advance what that person's particular strengths and weaknesses will be. On the other end, however, is one's attempts to show that the whole is more than the sum of its parts and that the efforts of constituting a perfect society are misconstrued for they are merely the result of adding those methodical bits and pieces.

It makes use of Arthurian legend, and parallels the legend of the Fisher King with the lives of the two main protagonists - Parry (Robin Williams) and Jack (Jeff Bridges). Symbolism and metaphorical techniques are utilisied extensively throughout the film, which makes it an extremely visual experience to watch. However, the symbolism extends beyond the visual plane, to a very psychological one. For example, Parry's creation of a fantastical world full of 'little fat people' and the 'Red Knight', is very much representative of his own mental condition; the fantasy world, minus the Red Knight, represents Parry's acceptance/ignorance of his mental trauma. At the same time the Red Knight is symbolic of the pain and suffering as caused by the trauma itself.

Well, yes it is.  And I like both.  In the Claim, a retelling of Thomas Hardy's Mayor of Casterbridge, you see MJ give a performance that should of at least netted her an academy award nomination (and she can sing!).  But the Academy, being the sink hole it now is, ignored that wonderful movie and the performances in it.  Fast forward things a few years, and Milla is kicking tail in better than Tomb Raider style.  A business decision on MJ's part?  Who knows?  But Hollywood can be cruel to women as they age.  For my money, it's clear MJ can do anything, and if B-movie Superchick is her choice, then enjoy the ride.
According to generally reliable research sources, for example, Geoffrey of Monmouth (about 1100-1155 A.D.) recorded Arthur as a High-King of Britain. He was the son of his predecessor, Uther Pendragon and nephew of King Ambrosius. As a descendant of High-King Eudaf Hen's nephew, Conan Meriadoc, Arthur's grandfather, had crossed the Channel from Brittany and established the dynasty at the beginning of the 5th century. The Breton King Aldrien had been asked to rescue Britain from the turmoil in which it found itself after the Roman administration had departed. He sent his brother, Constantine, to help. Constantine appears to have been the historical self-proclaimed British Emperor who took the last Roman troops from Britain in a vain attempt to assert his claims on the Continent in 407. Chronologically speaking, it is just possible he was King Arthur's grandfather. Arthur's Breton Ancestry was recorded by Gallet.

This classic is a superior example of good filmmaking, with its rather thin plot overshadowed by its wonderful direction and Richard Dreyfuss' marvelous performance.  Also note the fine support from Teri Garr and Melinda Dillon; their presence gives the movie a foundation of family ideals.  The scene where Dreyfuss makes his mashed potatoes into a replica of Devil's Peak is still one of the most memorable in science fiction films.  John Williams' score is as always impeccable and the effects state of the art.  A lot doesn't really "happen" in the movie, but its view of friendly aliens and contact with we earthlings still gives it classic status.

What really offended me about The Messenger was the  dialogue, which in many places is simply ludicrous.  There is plenty of  90's colloquialism and plenty of medieval cliche, but very little authentic  sounding conversation reflecting the status relationships between French  nobility (and royalty) and peasants.  At the same time, there are some  cheap, Keystone coppish antics in which the ostensible army leaders bumble  like the Three Stooges, while Joan takes some implausible action.  In these  respects, at least, The Messenger demonstrates that the Hollywood lowest  common denominator can be at home on the Continent as well.  This sort of  triviality really disappoints me, as I think it did a lot to mediocratize  another film which should have been very good, Mel Gibson's Patriot.  All  in all, what is frustrating is that this could also have been a very worthy  effort, perhaps memorable, but fails because the whole was far less than  the sum of the parts.

The camera and motifs are enough to do this job. Full of motifs - Empty hallway and 'You talking to me'. Depressing story of a lonely man who finds self-esteem in rescuing a underage teenager and by killing a aspiring political leader. However the movie doesn't tell why this young man becomes psychopath in the end. May his war past ? The violence in the end is disturbing !

Downstairs we are privy to the lives of the servants in the Bellamy household. First and foremost is the devout, inflexible and regimental head butler, Angus Hudson, the staff overlord. Then there is the curmudgeonly but good-hearted cook, Mrs. Bridges. Other memorable characters include the efficient but sheltered head house/parlour maid, Rose Buck; the religious but simple footman, Alfred; his successor, the good-natured Edward, who has something of an eye for the female staff; the not-overly-bright scullery maid, Emily, and her successor and intellectual equal, Ruby; and Lady Margery's prim and snobbish lady's maid, Miss Roberts.  Of course, one simply cannot forget the sassy, vivacious new under house/parlour maid, Sarah (Pauline Collins), who is a real dreamer and schemer, or the new chauffeur, Thomas (John Alderton--Collins' real-life husband), who is nobody's fool!  Like the family upstairs, the downstairs "family" too has its share of comings and goings, what with lovers, marriages, deaths, hirings, and firings.
1219	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	As a major fan of the original series I watched this move about 15 years ago and hated it. Today I thought maybe I was in a bad mood that day, but no, it is that horrid. There simply is nothing here. A pathetic Steed for sure. It is all imitative and it fails. There is no plot.

7830	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Yes the movie is filmed in beautiful Montana - though I do not recall any winter scenes and those must be part of what formed young boys growing up there. Equally cold should be the religious view. This is somewhat reflected in the house. It can be especially seen in the contrast between the family of the future bride (why not see the wedding?) Methodists ("Baptists that can read") and that of the groom - Presbyterians. This might have played out somewhat like the contrast between families in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". But this does not seem to be the main point. The main contrast is between brothers. Suppose the one has religion and the other has fishing. One becomes a professor: the news sends mom into a most embarrassing explosion of joy. The other wants to be a professional fly fisherman - but there is no such profession. This frustration leads to the conflict in Paul who clearly is not full of joy with anything else he does. Booze and a wonderfully though too briefly developed character of an Indian woman - (if only she could have played a bigger role in more ways than one!) are all that keep Paul from the deep end - even Presidents don't consider fishing with enough seriousness. "What are you going to catch them with?" "The end of my line." Fishing might hold all the answers - especially if you listen to the voices under the rocks - but society demands something more and Paul can not manage this. For any parent that worries about losing one - or several - how do you know they are saved? - this is a mortal dilemma. Yes, we can love them completely even without understanding, but is this a flaw in Presbyterianism? Is that a sufficiently emotional religious connection with the divine in man? Baptists lose some of their own too - and to the same things. "Why do the ones who need help the most refuse to take the help they are offered?" (I am sure I did not get that quote correctly but it is close...) Good question.
The film is ultimately a powerful film and the acting is top notch and Brad Davis just shined in this film.  He was incredible playing the part of Billy Hayes and it was a role that consumed him even when near the end of the filming of "MIDNIGHT EXPRESS".  But his performance made "MIDNIGHT EXPRESS" so believable in that despite what he did to receive prison time, we sympathize with him when he is tortured and is told that his four year sentence has been overturned and he would be getting a life sentence.

And though most of these questions are answered with what amounts to a cinematic shrug, it is done in a knowing, wink-wink kind of fashion, as if the filmmakers are well aware that no solutions are being provided, and that it's only important that the viewer ponder the paradox.

John Mortimer, who I once met at Foyles Book Shop in London, was a genius. He was an experienced Barrister and used this vast experience to write characters and Court Room cases that are so true to life. Series 1 and 2 are focused on the law and the legal process. Rumpole is portrayed by Leo McKern to be more legalistic and less comical than in series 3 to 7. I personally think series 4 is perfection with absolutely the right balance between comedy and legal drama. The development by Bill Fraser of the "Mad Bull" was genius to Rumpole's anti establishment character.

For all those who felt sorry for the mother, remember they pointed out SHE kicked HIM out for working so hard, and of course the houses that both live in are fantasy places that only multimillionaires could afford.  But there you go--if you are going to get this rich you have to work around the clock, it's just a fact of life.  It comes down to two women who were excellent in their roles and I loved the fact that the director forced us to feel annoyed and love both characters in their own way.  It's really well worth picking up at a garage sale or renting from the library.  The kids played brilliantly and I am truly surprised that they did not become stars as adults.  For all of you who complained that the 12 year old girl was annoying, you must not be around 12 year old girls.

6418	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This movie is absolutely stunning from beginning to end.  It is cinematography at its very best...  Most everything has already been said here, but I am amazed at the reviews that say the movie varies from the book...  Of course, a movie can never include all of the description and detail of a book, especially one written by Pat Conroy, but Ms. Streisand does a remarkable job of following Mr. Conroy's story and portraying the emotion and deep impact of the events.  It is an abomination that Ms. Streisand was not nominated for an Academy Award as Best Director or Best Actress when the movie received so many other awards.  How does one make a movie of this caliber and not receive a nomination for directing?!?
The second half of the movie is the more emotional of the two, however, as the family, who is just beginning to enjoy life, find their son and bring him back home. There is an unmistakable truth in what occurs emotionally between the two brothers, Vincent and Ben, who goes by Sam. Vincent, who has just begun to gain the attention he never got from his parents, feels threatened by the presence of Ben, and does everything he can to make his long-lost sibling feel unwelcome. This, accompanied by the emotional baggage toted by the family in their struggle to be happy together all conspire to make the movie more heartfelt, warming and true.


Making a long story short (too late), Bottle Rocket is in my top 10 films of all time. All the characters are just so rich and fleshed out that I find it irresistible to come back and continue to watch and enjoy there little quirks and mannerisms. I just find it amazing that all of the newcomers (Wes, Owen, Luke, and Bob Musgrave) met each other (obviously Owen and Luke didn't meet up, haha), created this masterwork, and now are all famous and successful (not so much Bob). This film gets my absolute highest recommendation if you have yet to see it. I urge you to watch it multiple times though so you can really catch the genius and depth of the characters. Also, check out Wes Anderson's other movies, especially The Royal Tenenbaums, which also delves deep into it's characters and is considered by many to be a near masterpiece.

7911	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	THE FILM: While not the absolute best I've seen from Robin Williams, Jeff Bridges or Terry Gilliam, THE FISHER KING is still wonderful tale of friendship, love, and loss. Jeff Bridges plays Jack Lucas, a rather callous shock jock who makes an offhand remark that influences a listener to commit a murder-suicide. Robin Williams is Parry, a homeless man whose life was severely affected by that act. As the film progresses, the two of them come together and help each other deal with loss in their own ways. While the theme of loss, and accepting it in order to move on, is a subject that's been shown many times in film, Terry Gilliam finds a way to make it seem fresh with his wit and unmistakable cinematic style, even though it's toned down here considerably. Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams also give outstanding performances that are properly nuanced and full of emotional depth. There is also several really funny scenes which showcase Robin Williams gift for humor, despite not being as manic as he can be. Here, his "insanity" is a cover for some deeply held emotion regarding his past (not unlike many comics in real life whose gift for humor masks very real pain). Jeff Bridges also has pain of his own, in the form of guilt over that incident which resulted from his on-air comment. The journey on which these two go, represented in Parry's mind by a quest for a holy grail (Monty Python?) was fascinating and gripping. Gilliam also gets to indulge in some fantastical imagery, as Parry imagines himself a knight with an evil, fiery Red Knight in pursuit of him. However, despite whatever trappings the story might come in, the performances are what make the film. Also of note is Mercedes Ruehl, who also turns in an outstanding showing as Jack's live-in girlfriend (technically, he's her live-in boyfriend). I read online that she won a Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance, and from what I witnessed she definitely deserved it. If there's one issue I take with the story, it's that it perpetuates the movie stereotype of the wise and wacky homeless man, even though Robin Williams plays it so well. There were also a few scenes that could have been trimmed. But overall, it was a pleasantly satisfying experience that spoke to me on a personal level, and that I enjoyed watching.

Of course, in the ending, we do see the true core of the truth with a psychopath/narcissist: if they give you a gift, you will pay three times more for it than what it is worth. At first, Travis Bickle is REWARDED for his "actions" that prove him to be a psychopath/narcissist and this same truth about him does not show him being held accountable. The ending, while I will not spoil it, saves this from being taken any farther (pay close, close attention all the way to the very last credit--and I mean the very last credit), and the intention--challenging Americans to think about the way society rewards such villains (in the case of a fictional character like Travis Bickle, antiheroes) like the would-be assassins of President Ford who, after nearly making America suffer through another tragedy, ended up on the cover of Time Magazine (one of the special features confirms this)!--has a great message and purpose to it, even if young people of this generation will not be able to recall it.

Rule #2--to make a successful show to screen  transfer, the numbers have to be shot in a fantasy style.  Sounds corny,  but I'm telling  you--it works (See the modern version of "Pennies  From Heaven." As gritty as the storyline is, it works as a musical  precisely because the numbers are shot so unrealistically). When you shoot  a musical in a completely realistic style, no matter how good it is it will  never have the magical feel that makes musicals feel so special; the film  will just look like a regular movie with a bunch of dopes singing out of  context for no reason.  That's exactly what happens here. There's no magic  or charm in this "Annie," although the cast had enough of it. Oh,  well--what a shame--this could have been better than it was.

The world has become a toilet to Travis Bickle. Out of this filth appears a flower of virtue that nothing can touch--a young gorgeous campaign-volunteer named Betsy played by Cybill Shepherd. She's the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. Driving a cab at night, all Travis sees are whores; however, Betsy's incorruptible, and she alone can redeem mankind. She allows him to take her on a date. Though awkward, he says all the right things. He takes her to the theater to see a movie--a porno flick. Horrified and offended, she hails a cab and leaves him on the sidewalk. Travis is stunned. At that moment, a whore saunters by. They pause to gaze at each other--she is his mirror; they are one and the same.

Watch this one when you have time to sit through the whole thing. You won't want to stop for anything.

Most of the rest of the movie is involved with trying to maintain identity long enough to manage take off.  Complicating matters are a Columbo-style detective (Alan Arkin), a love interest (Uma Thurman) and his brother from his old life.  In the end it comes down to a simple idea.  Many of the haves know a have-not (be it a child, sibling or whatever) who they have had to abandon and our hero represents the one ray of hope that these people can have.

It has been announced that a Resident Evil 2 is in the works already and will star Milla Jovovich and Eric Mabius who will play the "Nemesis".  Resident Evil ends somewhere within PS1 Resident Evil 2 and 3.  You have to remember that in the PS1 Resident 3, PS1 Resident Evil 2 took place when Jill Valentine was injurned and poisened by the Nemesis.  Two other characters from the game will be showing up in Resident Evil 2.  Gina Phillips will be cast as Claire Redfield and Natasha Henstridge will be cast as Jill Valentine.  This is going to be interesting to see them together on the screen when they never really met in the Playstation Game Series Resident Evil.  We know that Claire was in Raccoon City looking for her brother Chris and Jill Valentine was attempting to get out of Raccoon City Alive.

F/X-wise, the full-scale Blue Thunder chopper itself is pretty impressive but sadly outdated in today's real world of ultra-sophisticated gunships like the Apache & Cobra, and their Super versions. Still at the time this came out, it was a cool yet also frightening concept: something that could blow away most anything in the air and at the same time be capable of silently hovering undetected outside your window and stealthily recording everything you say & do. Big Brother in the air? Scary stuff - and rather prophetic. (Although the airborne eyes & ears that we must contend with and worry about today are tiny remote-controlled drones rather than huge manned gunships.) The movie's SFX miniatures look good but the optical composite work is rather lacking; (the shots of the Air Force jets are kinda lame). They work well enough to service the story, and if you've gotten into the movie and are rooting for Frank during the film's tense, climactic airborne confrontation then the jet F/X wonkiness won't even matter.

Now first of all, I have to say, for the life of me, I just couldn't develop any sympathy for the main character.  Let's face it...he was a criminal, got caught, and sent to prison.  Here's a tip for the youngsters out there...if you are planning to commit a crime, especially in a foreign country, it's probably a good idea to research the consequences, specifically how much jail time is involved if you get caught (for instance smuggling drugs in Turkey will get you a life sentence).  The film seemed to spend a lot of time focusing on the brutal and sadistic conditions within the prison, and trying to give the audience justification for Billy's need to escape (that was the way I saw it), but again, he committed a crime, and got caught, so I still found it extremely difficult to feel sad for Billy.  Just because he was an American, he shouldn't be bound by whatever laws exist in the particular country he's in?  I don't think so...I did think Brad Davis did a great job caught up in forces he didn't understand.  I thought John Hurt was good as Max, a perpetually drugged out Englishman in prison with Billy, but I didn't feel he was Academy Award good.  I did think Randy Quaid was really good as another prisoner named Jimmy Booth, a constantly angry man whose entire existence seemed to be based on devising a means to escape from prison (his crime was stealing two candlesticks from mosque, a very serious, and stupid, crime, apparently).  So how much of the story was real and how much of it was exaggerated?  I suppose only Billy knows, but I think there is a clear message here, and it's not that people shouldn't visit Turkey.  No, I the message I got was don't commit crimes in Turkey, or any other country, for that matter.  Having to go to prison sucks, and I am sure the quality of life within these prisons varies greatly, but regardless, if you can't do the time, don't do the crime.  Pure and simple.  Ultimately, as far as prison films go, this is a gripping, sometimes harsh to view yarn, but not the best one I've ever seen.  One of the best, in my opinion, is Papillon (1973), starring Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman, which, oddly enough, is also based on a true story.

Without giving any plot away, Kris has to find creative ways to smeak the toys to the children and avoid being captured again by the soldiers. Along the way we see how traditions like hanging stockings, using the chimney, delivering at night, making reindeer fly, and a nice/naughty list got their start.
Resident Evil is without a doubt an influence of DAWN OF THE DEAD. But RESIDENT is DAWN without gore. And that is a definite flaw. A good zombie film or a good horror film disturbs--it is suppose to make you sick. And when this sickness is combined with a serious approach storytelling and good acting, what you end up is usually a unique film or simply put, a classic. I remember when I first saw Dawn of the Dead, it had a good serious story, serious acting, and unforgettable sickness--head exposions, zombie bites, flesh eating, etc.--which made the film unique at the time. Although gore is considered by many as bad taste, a zombie film along with good serious storytelling and acting must have it in order for it to be a zombie masterpiece or a zombie art film. Resident Evil lacks the zombie gore.


Travis Bickle (Robert Deniro) is a loner cab driver who loves working the night shift due to his insomnia.  During the course of his rounds, he becomes obsessed with a young political operative, Betsy (Cybil Shepherd).  He is a rather strange guy and ends up taking her to a porn movie on their date.  After this bizarre behavior, she wants nothing to do with him.  Unfortunately, he is obsessing on her.
The story begins with a young woman, Annelle Dupuy (Daryl Hannah), who is new to the Lousiana town and planning to work as a beautician for Truvy Jones (Dolly Parton), whose husband Spud Jones (Sam Shepard) is an often out-of-work contractor.  Impressed with her abilities, Truvy hires Annelle and they receive their first customers of the day: the wealthy widow Clairee Belcher (Olympia Dukakis), the responsible mother M'Lynn Eatenton (Sally Field), her engaged daughter Shelby (Julia Roberts) and the eccentric/antisocial divorcee Ouiser Boudreaux (Shirley MacLaine).  Since one of the activities that most of the ladies enjoy doing is gossiping, when Ouiser begins to interrogate Annelle about her life, everyone is all ears as Annelle explains her troubled marriage and vanished husband.  Shelby then invites Annelle to come to her wedding, which Annelle does and meets a man who becomes very interested in her: Sammy Desoto (Kevin J. O'Connor).  Shelby's new husband is Jackson Latcherie (Dylan McDermott), and her outspoken father, Drum Eatenton (Tom Skerritt), often enjoys teasing Ouiser about her aging dog.  Shelby suffers from diabetes, but is determined to live as much of a normal life as possible, even when it comes into conflict with M'Lynn's concerns for her health.

Criterion collection a vista are both doing a great job in creating movie viewing pleasure Through extras, picture and sound but superbit is coming back with some strong DVD's.  The sound is so strong and tight.  Utilization of every field of sound leds to an experience you will not forget.  I've watched this movie ten or more times before the superbit.  Now I haved added to this number greatly.  Wolfgang Peterson has made one of those few movies that make you happy for watching it.  Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman did a fantasic job with each character.  All I can say is watch it on the superbit and you can thank me later.

Does this mean another RE movie? We can only hope. So if you've seen this in the theatre and liked it, pick it up, the bonuses are worth it. If you've seen the first, but missed the second, pick it up also. And if you don't like Resident Evil at all, then why the hell are you reading this review? Get out of here.
 All in all, this film is nothing like the video games. None of its characters are likeable and truth be told, I wanted them all to die. However, the production values are very high and they obviously put a lot of care and thought into the end product. I'm also a big fan of Jon Anderson- Event Horizon will always be one of my favorite films. But in Resident Evil he changed too much, took too much away from the games that made them so effective. Very few of the monsters made it to the screen save for the lickers, which were underused and the undead skinless dogs, again, underused. Notice I have said much about the zombies? I haven't because there aren't exactly a lot of them, nor a lot of scenes with them.

The best things you can say about this film is the very beautiful filming, plus that it is interesting to watch very young Robert DeNiro's and even younger Jodie Foster's already then great talents. You also get glimpses of Harvey Keitel.

"He thought he had a team, turns out to be a man alone. Now, that's tough now. Real tough." - Mr. Henry speaking of Dignan. This totally captures Dignan up to that point in the movie and really foreshadows what happens during the final heist where he is let down by his entire crew and in turn is the only one who is punished for the 'attempted' crime.
The movie also has some truly sterling direction, through the use of colors, and through the depiction of the interplay of human emotions. Uma Thurman's dilemmas, Ethan Hawke's determination, Jude Law's helplessness - are masterpieces of directorial brilliance and acting superiority. The casting is definitely one of the most definitive aspects of the movie, with even the fringe cast being appropriately selected - Be it Ernest Borgnine as the Janitor, Xander Berkley as Dr Lamar and even Blair Underwood in his 10 minute role as the Geneticist. Gattaca uses some stunning shades of color and hues, which accentuate emotion, convey depth and enhance the visual experience of the movie - be it the Green hues of the beach or the orange hues of the launch pad and external world.
1. SHOUT FACTORY was more than well aware of the history of the series release. Why did they choose to release the entire series rather than seasons 5 and 6? Would they have us believe they felt the majority of individuals inclined to purchase the Bob Newhart sat out the first 4 seasons in the hope that SHOUT FACTORY would come along and release the entire series at a great price? They new quite well that fans already owned the first 4 seasons, and bet that they would pay a hefty price to get the remaining two. Their offer to release seasons 5 and 6 now, after numerous complaints, is a bit lame.
This story begins in 1420 when there is war from the English invasion of France. Joan asks forgiveness for her sins - again. She converses with `him', who tells her to be good and take care of people. Joan is happy like any care-free child. She finds a sword in the grass. Then wolves run past her! Her village is attacked and burned by soldiers. Her home is invaded. Her older sister Catherine gives her a hiding place. Murder, robbery, and rape follow. [That grave is too shallow.] Joan will live with her aunt and uncle now. Can she forgive her enemies? Did God save her for some higher purpose? In Chinon the Dauphin waits. There is a message from the Maid of Lorraine, a peasant girl who wants to fight for France. Is she a fake? Simple people believe in her, it could be good for morale. Joan comes to meet the Dauphin. She avoids the fake. [Cold reading?] She has a private message to deliver. She wants to ask the King of England to leave France in peace. Or else.
Anyway, Alice and the team discover that the T-Virus has turned everyone in The Hive into flesh-eating zombies, and they must get out of the facility before it is sealed up  permanently. But seeing the risk of letting them leave, the Red Queen isn't going to make it easy for them.

IF YOU ARE ALSO INTERESTED IN THE REAL SEQUEL: The studio that made the first hour long Frosty special that first aired on CBS television in 1969 is Rankin/Bass Productions, the kings of holiday specials. That show was based on the original song written in 1951 by Steve nelson and Jack Rollins. The studio made a terrific half hour sequel in 1976 for ABC television titled "Frosty's Winter Wonderland".  That special starts right where the first one left off.  The basic premise of the story is that Frosty gets a wife named Crystal (played by Shelley Winters), and is sabotaged by the jealous Jack Frost. The character design was by Paul Coker Jr., who did the same work for the first special, so the visual continuity works very well and the characters have that classic Rankin/Bass 'look'. He also did the unique lettering for the credits in both specials. The famous voice actor Paul Frees stars as Jack Frost, and the policeman. Frees was a regular in studio productions and had also voiced the policeman, ticket seller, and Santa Claus in the original. Jackie Vernon voiced Frosty just like he did before. The writer for both Rankin/Bass shows was Romeo Muller, and Maury Laws returned as the musical director. Interestingly, while Rankin/Bassis known for the high quality of their original songs, they used Christmas standards in their sequel.  The major change in the sequel from the original is a big one, the narrator, and it can be unsettling if you watch them back to back.  While the first show was narrated and sung by Jimmy Durante, the second time we had the voice talents of Andy Griffith. Nothing against Andy, but it is a big change.
The whole film is a basis of a makover of Scream which just goes to show, that anyone...ANYONE...can be famous...that is food for thought for all your theatre majors and film students.
With his lantern jaw and square-cut, comic-book looks, Arnold Schwarzenegger handles his various roles with good humour: it is fun being the boss. Young Austin O'Brien is also a very slick performer.

The film takes a very deliberate timeline, deftly maintaining a perfect balance between the humor and the horror.  In many ways, it goes one better in that department than my other favorite horror/comedy from the 80's, An American Werewold In London.  As much as I love AAWIL, the humor in it can occasionally seem a bit forced or out of place.  Not so in Fright Night.  It hits all the marks in perfect sequence, and results in a delightfully scary roller coaster ride of a movie.

Those lucky enough to actually see it on the big screen walked away confused and disorientated.

That brings us to the special effects: surprisingly varied, they range from awesome (the zombie dogs, which are a mixture of CGI and make-up, are realistic and ferocious), to mediocre--the Licker, a monster that terrorizes the group towards the end of the movie, looks straight out of the video-game, graphics wise. I would say they could have done way better, but the special effects group started work on the Licker late, therefore it wasn't exactly up to par. (They solved this problem in Apocalypse though; they started working on the Lickers during pre-production.) As for the zombies--they have a ton of detail, and it looks like they seriously put some time into them.  After sending the actors to a "zombie boot camp", they intricately placed their details, creating effective and creepy zombies.  Bravo to the special effects team on that--you need it after that horrible Licker.

AUDIO...Watched in the lossless DTS MA HD 5.1 and the balance of audio levels between the dialogue and John Williams music score was exceptionally good.  The music score is spread quite nicely across the front stage with stereo imaging of the instruments nicely placed.  During the first  half of the movie I was a touch disappointed that the rear channels were not used that often for front to rear pans or foley FX.  However, the second half of the film wakes things up with several uses for the rear channels and discreet channeling of the audio fx to both left and right.  It is here where your LFE sub channel will come alive and if you have a good sub and it is set properly, it will certainly get a musical workout.  I rate the overall  audio with 4 stars.

Because there's hardly any gore, Resident Evil doesn't really work all that well as a zombie flick. And because it's not scary, horror is out of the question, too. But being a zombie fan, I'm prone to forgiving movies of this ilk simply because I'm pretty easy to please.

In the film you will often hear background voices.  For example there is the occasion where a poor old lady deposits two small copper coins into the Temple treasury, since all she had were those two coins.  As she is doing this, you can hear people in the background commenting, in cockneyed accents, "only a mite?" "can't she give more?" "it's very little."

The perfect timing and team work of the Monty Python crew, which made 'Flying Circus' one of the most popular shows in history, was transferred well to the big screen. Additional actors were kept to a minimum, so each of the Pythonists played several parts. As usual, the casting is wonderful, and each of the six actors brings life to all his characters, as each one gets one or two great scenes to show what he has to offer. Graham Chapman was given the role of the straight man (sort of like Zeppo Marx only funnier) and does a great job in the part of King Arthur, as well as an unforgettable short appearence as God ("Every time I try to talk to someone it's sorry this and forgive me that and I'm not worthy...") Terry Gilliam is, as usual, not given a very big part in the movie, but does a great work on his very few lines as both Patsy, Arthur's trusty steed ("It's only a model.") and the keeper of the Bridge of Death, as well a short appearence as himself (The Animator). His animation sequences on this movie are his absolute best. Director Terry Jones does a wonderful Sir Bedevere, supplying the brilliant witch scene, as well as the unforgettable Prince Herbert. Michael Palin is a great Sir Galahad, but is more memorable as Dennis ("Help! Help! I'm being repressed!") and of course the leader of the Knights Who Say Ni. Eric Idle is dreadfuly funny as usual as Sir Robin, and also as Roger the Srubber, Brother Maynard, the Dead Collector ("Bring out your dead!") and Concorde. And most of all, John Cleese, making not only a wonderful Sir Launcelot, but also supply some of the film's most memorable moments as the newt guy, Tim the Wizard, the rude French soldier and of course the Black Knight ("It's just a flesh wound!")

- Although "Resident Evil" is original in many ways it's sometimes reminiscent of other films like "Aliens" and "Dawn of the Dead". Hence, some things are predictable; for instance, you know anyone who gets bitten by a zombie is gonna eventually turn into one.

Both the Burgundians and Benjamites were known for rape murder (or) gang rape murder.  In the attack on Domremy(Doe Ray Me), a pack of black wolves leads the charge, as young Joan investigates her burning village. Joan's sister is then rape murdered (or murdered, then raped).
Jack is hard-headed however, and he has to sink very low before he can become honest with himself. He loses his job, his sophisticated girl-friend, his wealth, and becomes an alcoholic. At the depths of his fall, he meets Parry, who rescues him from young punks. Jack soon learns that Parry is mentally ill since the death of his wife and Jack decides to move out of his own self pity and attempt to give Parry back his life. Jack is living with a woman, played by Mercedes Ruehl, but he will not open himself to love her since despite her big heart, she is far from the sophisticated women he once courted.

On the downside, the movie does little to explain a lot of things that happen and leaves the viewer to fill in the blanks. For instance, we never know why Alice comes crashing through the stained glass window or how she knows what is on the other side. If the Nemesis creature could be mind controlled, then why wasn't Alice. And why were zombies coming out of the ground in the graveyard.
Travis's first interest in a young woman named Betsy (Cybill Shepherd) who is working to help a Senator get elected to the White House. Betsy soon rejects Travis, though, when on their first date he takes her to a dirty movie. After being rejected by Betsy, Travis soon develops an interest in guns--but in a most unhealthy way. Travis dreams of murder although he does still have enough of his sanity left to want to rescue a very young girl, Iris (Jodie Foster), from a group that uses her as a woman of the night. All of this happens as Travis descends deeper and deeper into a world of madness and psychosis.
6558	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Resident Evil is a nitroglycerin packed horror film that is based on Capcom's best selling horror videogames with the same name.  Before the story begins the audience is introduced to the Umbrella Corporation that produces 90% of every home's household products.  However, its large profits are derived from military technology, genetic experimentation and viral weaponry, which is unknown to the public.  The story begins with Alice (Milla Jovovich) waking up with temporary amnesia caused by gas released by the Hive's supercomputer, the Red Queen, as a defense mechanism.  The Hive is a secret underground research complex with an exterior design similar to the form of a virus, which hosts over 500 scientists.  Alice learns through a group of special operatives working for the Umbrella Corporation that she is also a special operative and something has gone wrong in the Hive.  The mission of the group is to find out what went wrong and turn off the Red Queen that has seemed to run amok.  As the group enters the darkened corridors of the Hive they enter a nightmare that submerges them into an agonizing reality of hellish creatures that want to nourish.  Resident Evil is a fast paced horror tale where the unknown is known, yet the moment of surprise will cause nerves to twitch involuntary as it offers a creepy cinematic experience.

Whenever Parry shows glimpes of sanity (lucid speech, dating, feeling love again, etc.), the Red Knight always appears in his life. While the Red Knight is at bay Parry is not catatonic or overwrought by his trauma. To overcome/accept the trauma of seeing his wife murdered before his eyes, ultimately Parry has to confront the Red Knight and vanguish him. However, he lacks the insight and strength to do this on his own. Enter Jack - who ultimately feels responsible for Parry's condition! Jack is the equivalent of the fool or simpleton from the story of the Fisher King. Jack's intent is one of redemption, while he is absorbed into Parry's world. Eventually Jack begins to understand Parry's need for the Holy Grail, which represents Acceptance of Loss. If Parry is able to possess the Holy Grail, then he shall be able to vanguish Insanity as represented by the Red Knight.
Robert Redford directed this family drama, and as always, you can see his love for nature in every scene. Hes also the narrator in the movie, so if you think you recognize the voice in the beginning of the movie, you're right. Redford specializes in directing beautiful nature scenes and capturing emotional turmoil within a family. A River Runs Through It is very pretty to watch, but as much as I love Robert Redford, its not my favorite of his films. Dont throw anything at me, but Im not really a Brad Pitt fan, so I found myself rooting for Tom Skerrit more often than not.

Ciaran Hinds as the hero begins with a great deal of roaring and bluster, but here and there are hints that this is a screen he uses to protect himself from the pain of intimacy.

Juxtapose this against the first Mrs. Rochester's passion for him that overset her reason.

Unfortunately, Jojovich is the the only relief from what is a long and generously violent flick.  There are a number of "spirtual" moments in the film which deal with her supposed communication with God.  However, it is apparent that Besson has his predetermined notions as to whether Joan of Arc was indeed divine or disturbed and we are never really given the opportunity to consider the other.
But as far as the real Joan of Arc, the only major historical figure whose life and thought has come down to us through sworn court testimony---Oh well, in the first place she's had writers of genius like Shaw and Twain to  balance this dramatization, and in the second place, as long as we're making films about protagonists who hear voices, wild battle scenes and trials for heresy it could have been much worse.

It sets up the Woody Allen persona, the likable loser, that he would portray in most of his subsequent films.  Take The Money & Run is an excellent start to a movie legend's fabled career.
That aside, Milla Jovovich  was brilliant and convincing.  She certainly portrayed a  very strong  willed, confused and angry girl capable of controlling an army.  The fact  that she came close to tears at all the bloodshed didn't contradict  anything.  We can't  forget that this was still a child in very unusual  circumstances.

The dauphin was played admirably as a young bumbling king. Almost all the French Kings of history were buffoons save a few.

What makes "Resident Evil" such an excellent film is the style and attention with which it is executed. Even on a tight budget, the filmmakers, most of which were fans of the game themselves, went to great lengths to make this a movie worth watching again and again! The style of the game is ever present, from the extremely authentic scenes, creatures, and characters, to the brilliant sets, lighting, and camera angles. Homage is paid to great scifi/horror films of the past, as well as to "Alice in Wonderland," seemingly a favorite book of filmmakers all over. The cast is excellently chosen for this type of movie, and I'm particularly impressed with their love of the games. Michelle Rodriguez is frightening, even when not a zombie, and Eric Mabius looks computer generated himself! And I don't mind adding that the producer's sister makes quite a lovely Dr./zombie in the film. And speaking of zombies, thanks so much for sticking with the game and not making those new, fast moving style zombies we see so much in current horror. Those are scary, but they're nowhere near as creepy. Conserving their energy for when you're within reach, these zombies are fast when they need to be, their deceptive slowness making them all the more frightening! The new "Deluxe" version of the DVD isn't overwhelmingly loaded with extras, after all, it's still only one disc, but it does include a fun cast and crew commentary that brings to mind a favorite line from Zoolander: "A model, idiot." It also includes theatrical trailers and featurettes, a clip from Resident Evil: Apocalypse, a visual effects commentary, an alternate ending that I'm sooo happy they didn't use (the ending they DID use is awesome), and filmographies. An incredibly cool, must own film for all fans of the video game and zombie genres! And the sequel is even better!

Now I'll also admit--I was going to give this an even lower grade, but decided the positives-negatives canceled each other out. The positive? I loved the ending. Although it too obviously sets up for a sequel, I just loved it. It has a desolate, creepy feel to it, and it kind of assured me that the sequel would be better. The negative? The editor should have been fired. It almost seems as if whole scenes are left out; therefore the movie at times gets highly confusing. For example: Alice and Matt--an environmentalist who befriends Alice--are talking in a room. The next moment they are running from a horde of zombies! How did THAT happen? After examples like this happen at least three times throughout the movie, I got fed up. They should be happy they made the ending so good...

The household is headed by Richard Bellamy (David Langton), the son of a clergyman, who has married Lady Marjorie, scion of the prominent Southwold family.  As a political and social conservative, Richard attains high administrative offices, but, as a member of Parliament, he prefers to vote according to his conscience rather than the Southwold family's preferences.  Lady Marjorie (Rachel Gurney) is imperious and aristocratic.  Their son James (Simon Williams), an army officer, is plagued by such bad judgment that we generally cannot sympathize with him.  His sister Elizabeth (Nicola Pagett) is idealistic and romantic, but unrealistic.  Her relations with the male sex always turn out badly, until (having left U/D after Series 2) she is said to have found marital happiness in America.  Following Marjorie's death, management of the household falls to James's new wife Hazel (Meg Wynn Owen), the daughter of an accountant, who is guided by different values than other members of the Bellamy family.  Marjorie's niece Georgina (Lesley-Anne Down) arrives in Series 3, with a sense of idealism and adventure.  After the war, Richard marries Virginia (Hannah Gordon), who provides companionship and support.

Aside from Bob and Emily's move to a new apartment (because apparently the old one wasn't "spacious" enough!) and then magically having Howard move into a neighboring apartment (which is never actually explained - Howard just resumes his regular routine of barging in every day) the season continues much as before. Bob meets regularly with his clients, particularly the infamous Mr. Carlin; he and Emily socialize with Howard, Carol, Jerry and others. Although plot-wise there is little that is truly unique or surprising, the show still works. The actors' chemistry, Bob's traditional straight-man shtick against the blundering Howard or goofy Jerry, the ridiculous statements of Mr. Carlin (all delivered in deadpan) continue to amuse and entertain.

Air Force One has some small flaws, but it is still cracking entertainment with a good plot and breathtaking visual effects.
The movie really has nowhere to go but down from here, relying heavily on gore, blood, and useless plot twists to create what they hope will be a sense of tension and suspense. No such luck. Yes, we do spend some time wondering who is going to meet the fishhooked Ben Willis next, but since we never get the chance to know the characters, we never can care for them once they are killed, sauteed, gutted, and what-have-you. There is never a moment in this movie where you'll find yourself saying, "This is such a good film," because there's never any reason to. What makes it even worse is that the movie makes itself out so that it is not necessary to see the first in order to get the second. It spends so much time dwelling on the past that its concern for its own events are missed by a longshot.
If you like movies such as 'Steel Magnolias', 'The Hours', or 'To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday', then I think you'll love this movie.

3956	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Spielberg's alien masterpiece about aliens invading Earth was an instant classic in the seventies, and is still a great film, better than Star Wars. Why? Because we can identify more with a middle-aged electrician than we can with a moisture farmer on a desert planet. Richard Dreyfuss is the aforementioned electrician, who has an extraterrestrial experience and suddenly is obsessed with these aliens. This epic is an excellent early work of Stephen and truly delights the senses as well as the mind, and is still extremely watchable today. Now, for the faults. It starts slow and never really builds to a frantic pace, but it only increases the suspense. Although the aliens are a little disappointing (just the basic pointy-eyed, almond faced stereotypes), these faults are easily compensated in this amazing experience. One of the best sci-fi movies of all time.

I can't think of many real criticisms of this film, apart from perhaps the slightly corny dialogue at times, and Ben Willis's voice, which really managed to get on my nerves. Otherwise, all aspects of this film were great. there was some nice scenery, good acting, a really superb plot, and lots of nice shots of JLH's clevage (which was shown so much it could probably come under scenery!) some great eccentric characters and a cracking ending. (I am not talking about the very very end, that was a bit disappointing)

I like that there's more zombies in this movie than compared to the first movie, though it's in the city this time around so they could be able to pull that off, though at the same time they made the city almost just like in the games.  While the story itself is a little different than that of the games, just like with the first movie and there are things that are in the movie that the fans will be able to recognize as they watch the movie.  After all that, the features that come with this package, it's nice to see what was left out as well as some of the things that went into making the movie, which should be good if you like seeing what done to make the movie possible.  Overall I give 4 stars out of 5.
But the best performance is Jude Law. Jerome a truly tragic character, whose genetic perfection wasn't enough to keep disaster away -- he's proof that DNA can't make your life good or rewarding. Law plays him with a mixture of bitter wit and compassion, with perpetually shadowed eyes and a drink always in his hand. You may cheer for Vincent, but your heart will bleed for Jerome.

Jeff Bridges plays Jack, a radio shock jock whose unthinking tirade provokes a caller into a senseless act of violence that culminates in tragedy for a number of faceless New Yorkers. The tragedy derails Jack's career and ends his glitteratti lifestyle. Gone is the fabulous hi-rise apartment, model type girl friend, and high paying media career.

The battle or Orleans is tame at best. There are virtually no scenes of real ambitious spectacle. We are given nothing to inform us of her revolutionary forms of combat. Instead her method seems to be screaming a lot and jumping a horse over the enemies fence. Later the storming of Paris is so humorous it is sad. Joan screams and screams that she needs back up while a few soldiers randomly knock on what must be the Paris gates.

6178	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	This second in the trilogy is good, but as many of my friends warned me, not as good as the first.  You have the zombies, demon dogs, etc. as well as a monster who has 'very familiar eyes', but it seems a little dark and shadowy, which seems to rob it of some intensity. It feels more spooky than action packed. Perhaps because they're still stuck in the city fighting in and out of the buildings it just seems too cramped, and too much like the first. I did like it though and it's good enough to stand on its own without watching the first in the series.
Being a top model, I suspect that Milla Jovovich has experienced the same kind of jealousy-based animosity towards her multi-faceted talent (she was also stunning in the Bruce Willis classic The Fifth Element) as David Bowie has. Despite many excellent film performances, especially his superb role in Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, David has also drawn fire from people who seem unwilling to acknowledge that he is also a fine actor as well as a brilliant singer-songwriter.

1355	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	The rumor that shuttled around a while is that the original script stayed very close to the TV show. The people who developed the film were huge Avengers fans that spent years trying to bring this to the screen and saw it as an art house action movie. When Warner's realized that they didn't have a big budget summer film for 1998,they rushed production on The Avengers, threw a lot of money at it, and more or less told the producers they wanted a big hit. Needless to say, pandering to the masses and doing good "Avengers" are incompatible, which the test audiences more or less told the studio execs during test screenings by not liking it at all and getting confused (though I am hard pressed to see how they were any more confused than I ended up) . Unfortunately, take out the sublime strangeness and the film falls apart and makes little sense. Apparently, the studio thought they could rush this out on name power and no real story and maybe make a little money, which is exactly how much they made.
 I think the only way to interpret this movie is to see that the Arthurian events are, somehow, just as real as the parallel, modern instances of an intruding modern world of historian/narrators and investigating police. The low-budget documentarian explanation does not really make sense, as it does not explain why murder would happen, or how the instances of fantastic intervention of God, sorcerers or fabulous monsters could happen. At the very least, all the scenes presenting multiple performers acting out scenes of medieval life would have to be explained via the use of extremely sincere madmen as actors. Other fabulous events would simply go unexplained.
Outside of the raging stupidity of the protagonist and the clear genetic plot-hole, this was an enjoyable watch.
Wonderful music, themes, and plot.

This crap is pointless, obtuse, and degrading to the kind of people who live in Montana, none of whom appear in this movie.


I Still Know What You Did... still manages to get away with the usual horror sequel criticisms.  So hopefully, producers will prevent another sequel spawning unless they want the whole saga to become one big embarrassment.
This movie is pure suspense. Every little sound, thump and bump make you wonder when a zombie's going to pop out of nowhere and devour one of the living. Keeping things even creepier is the Hive itself. It's location: a half mile below Raccoon City. Space is limited. Time is running out. You feel the tension all the way through, right from when Alice wakes up till the blood-soaked climax.

First of all, there's not much here in common with the games, other than zombies and an occasional mention of the T-virus or some other phrase from the games.  Secondly, there is nothing frightening about this movie.  Unlike the games, all the instances of violence/gore/shock come across as very campy rather than scary.  Actually, "campy" may be the wrong word to use, as that would imply a bit of lightheartedness- this movie takes itself *way* too seriously.


Yes, this is my favorite Steve Martin film of all time (a close second being L.A. Story). It's romantic, thoughtful, clever and hilarious, with probably one of the better portrayals of unrequited love I've seen in pictures. The bar scene, where C.D. faces down an insulting drunk, is an instant classic. Another gem is C.D, in his guise as Chris, courting Roxanne beneath her window. Martin, who wrote the screenplay, is charming and earnest and puts his heart and soul in C.D. Bales; he makes you root wholeheartedly for him. Lovely Daryl Hannah has never been better or looked more ravishing, in her embodiment of the sexy, intelligent Roxanne Kowalski. Rick Rossovich is so good as the clueless, dimwitted Chris that I don't know if he'll ever be able to live the role down.

I've always thought this movie was brillant. You have obvious gags - The glass eye seen at Slater's exwife's house. The cop rotates it completely blowing up the house. Then the next scene Slater and Danny at the police station smoking - literally. I Other scenes are subtle; Robert Patrick leaving the Police station as the T1000 or elsewhere the hubcaps on Slater's convertible change for no reason. Also, look for the E.T. and Lethal Weapon gags.  The gags really get going about 15 minutes in.

1072	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Watching this movie almost 40 years after it came out cannot capture how irreverent it felt in 1969.  The world has become so much cruder and the language so much more coarse that this feels much like a family film today.  It is funny, yes, but some of it feels dated.  Comedy is often tied to its time and doesn't travel to a later time so well.  Yet, much of the movie remains terrific and classic.  There are many lines that have become part of the language ("it is if you're doing it right", for example).  Just go up to anyone who knows the film and say "abt natural" or "I have a gub" and they will likely begin to chuckle.  And, of course, there is the soap and shoe polish gun in the rain.
I've now seen or heard all the Annie's (all the movies and Broadway soundtracks) and I remain amazed by the talented Aileen Quinn.  Just as no one could be a better Maria than Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music, no one can ever be a better Annie than Quinn!!!
Frank Sinatra stars as John OHaras caddish crooner in this 1957 film version of the Book by John O'Hara, the music by Richard Rodgers and the lyrics by Lorenz Hart for the hit musical Pal Joey. A fresh, very fresh arrival on the San Francisco nightclub scene, the amoral and ambitious Joey soon finds himself entangled with two mice: the rapacious stripper-turned-society dame Vera [Rita Hayworth] and the good-girl chorine Linda [Kim Novak]. Handsomely directed by George Sidney, the film features a double handful of Rodgers and Harts greatest tunes, including Zip, My Funny Valentine, The Lady Is a Tramp, and I Could Write a Book.

The idea behind the film is a good one in my opinion (I have not read the book, although I don't hear good things about it so I don't think I will) but the handling of the material really sidelines the film in my opinion.  Instead of taking a raw and emotional approach to the film, the soap operaish delivery makes light of the tragedy surrounding the film and ultimately turns the serious subject of abuse, suicide and murder into a joke.  All of this weighty material is more or less just a backdrop for Tom and Susan to fall in love and in the end the film makes their relationship the weightiest subject; expecting the audience to swell up with tears at the prospect of them having to leave one another as apposed to the audience being emotionally responsive to the turmoil boiling within Tom's past.

There is a near accident. Travis meets a salesman who makes house calls to display his wares. Are the prices reasonable? [Is this a parody?] Is Travis stalking somebody? Was that ZIP code correct? Is Travis going insane because of a lack of sleep? Does anyone notice? There is an attempted robbery of a small store. [Believable?] The film drags on. "No rough stuff." There is a failure to communicate. Is this a parody? Iris has a new friend. Is the conversation pointless? And the film drags on. There is a political rally at Columbus Circle. Does somebody stand out like an odd haircut? Travis runs off to do what he has to do. There is a violent shoot-out that should wake up those who dozed off. And so it ends, a tale full of sound and fury signifying nothing.
The art direction is superb and even the story was intriguing. There are some plot holes, but hey, it's a COMIC BOOK and I made up some of my own exposition. A Global Corporation named UMBRELLA with too much power and money experimenting with BioWeapons and expenable, genetically enhanced humans. Something to think about when you have a government in this country that has experimented with mind-control, telepathy, remote viewing, and God only knows what else. Some conspiracy theorists believe that AIDS was a bioweapon virus that got out of control. RESIDENT EVIL has the T-Virus. The story hits hard in the wake of the discovery of the human genome, cloning, and biological warfare. Remember, science fiction sometimes becomes science fact. And, corporations are out of control. So the whole notion of a corporation, probably funded by the military, making viral superweapons out of soldiers sends chills down my spine. Although, the Nemesis brought me back down to Earth. He's a scream. There's also a media cover-up at the end that's more plausible than you can possibly imagine. Good stuff.

5255	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	First, a phenomenal faux pas on the part of Columbia Tristar Home Video's marketing department: on the cover of my copy of this landmark movie is a  quote from Liz Smith: "Jodie Foster is Delightful."  If there was  a more inappropriate term for anything about this movie, it is  "delightful."  For anyone who hasn't yet seen this modern REAL  horror masterpiece, it is one of the most effective studies of frustration,  isolation and suppressed (for the most part) anger in today's world that I  have seen on film.  And, the movie works brilliantly despite all the  strikes against it; Paul Schrader's psychodrama/part pulp creation may have  fallen apart, were it not for Martin Scorsese's adept direction and the  gritty, committed performances of the lead characters, not in the least  Robert DeNiro as the alienated, deadened ex-Marine Travis Bickle.  I am  always fascinated by movies that have major contrasts in tone and style  within them; consider the scenes with Albert Brooks and Cybill Shepherd at  Palatine Headquarters, played at a (bad) sitcom level, then contrast them  with the hyper-realistic scenes of Travis's customers (Scorsese has a  bravura cameo as a murderously jealous husband), Harvey Keitel's greasy  pimping duties, the final massacre, and for me the most unexpected and  shocking display, the aftermath of the convenience store robbery which  Travis is involved in.  This is the stuff of nightmares.  The movie is also  populated with wonderfully odd supporting characters, including Travis's  fellow cabbies who have a camaraderie which feels real, and the  fast-talking gun salesman who brings his arsenal to Travis's apartment for  a sale.  After you've viewed it a few times (if you're so inclined!),  questions come to mind:  Why does Betsy even give Travis the time of day,  especially after their incredibly awkward "lunch" together?  Why  has Travis's character been written as SO clueless, sometimes distracting  to the point of amusement?  Doesn't Bernard Herrmann's loungy main theme,  complete with emoting saxophone, seem at odds with the unadorned realism  the movie is presenting us?  As it is, though, these aspects,  contradictions and all, are what make "Taxi Driver" a unique and  unforgettable experience.  There are a hundred different things worth  commenting on, from the look of the film, to the ironic "message"  of the movie, etc.  But, for those with the mettle, this is one of the  best, and should be seen for those with any interest in contemporary  cinema.  And, oh yes, Jodie Foster is as delightful as any pre-teen  prostitute could possibly be.

This special had the best voice casting of any they made, with Mickey Rooney as the older Santa, Paul Frees as Burgermeister, and Keenan Wynn as the Winter Warlock. The Mailmans voice and songs were by the great Fred Astaire, and they recreated him perfectly in a mailman figure. There are 6 wonderful songs including the title song, as well as "One Foot in Front of the Other". The Westminster Childrens Choir performs as well. Music and lyrics were by Maury Laws and Jules Bass. Writing by the great Romeo Muller who worked on so many of their projects. Character design by Paul Coker, and storyboards and continuity by Don Duga as they did on most of the studios specials.

Writer/Director Tom Holland effectively blends horror and comedy together to create a very unique viewing experience. The film will scare the daylights of you and will have you on the edge of your seat, but will also make you laugh a little because this film does teter on the edge of spoof. It doesn't skimp on the scares nor does it skimp on the laughs as you will both be scared and be laughing a little as this film entertains very well. The film is well acted, well written and wonderfully directed by Tom Holland as he keeps the pace going and the action never lets up until the bitter end. Tom Holland works wonders with his script and his direction. It all works. It is a fun filled scary and funny movie that never gets dull no matter how many times you watch it.

  I have always liked Harrison Ford movies and this is a definite keeper to be watched over and over again.  I liked the fact that I could choose to watch it either wide-screen or full-screen.  This is a movie that needs to be seen in wide-screen. All fans of Harrison Ford will undoubtedly like this film of a man determined to live by his convictions, only to be challenged to dig deep to find the strength and courage to do so when the unthinkable happens.  Those who like a good action adventure will like it as well because it is full of action with fights in a plane being wildly flown, bullets flying everywhere, people either parachuting or falling out said plan, and other adrenaline rush scenes.  You too will want those terrorists off the President's plane.

As plot goes, the premise for the movie is better than the final movie turned out to be.  The main story revolves around an artificial intelligence system that exterminates the entire staff of an underground biochemical lab when one of there super-virus' secrets is compromised.  A team of soldiers, sent in by the Umbrella Corporation, is sent in to uncover why the A.I. system malfunctioned and to shut it down.  A single agent (Milla Jovovich) and her partner/husband, were in charge of guarding the secret entrance to the underground lab and are both left with no short term memory about the incident.  As the story is told the plot twists somewhat, but the overall feel of the movie is that it's been done before.  Several of the characters line up to be "next to die" in a series of creative deaths that parallel "The House on Haunted Hill."  The one outstanding thing that I did like about the story was the way the movie ended.  I won't give away anything, but the way the ending was filmed left you craving for a sequel.  At the same time, it didn't feel like this particular movie ended early either.
Humor, pathos,  deep sadness & victory make for a great tears streaming down your face  emotional ride. Don't miss this one.

Roddy McDowall does a great job playing an olden days movie hero who doesn't believe in vampires then is forced to be what he plays on screen.  William Ragsdale does a pretty good job as a teen who is a big fan of old horror movies and is convinced his new neighbour isn't just a serial killer but a vampire as well.  Stephen Geoffreys does a great job too as his fellow high school loser friend who likes to make fun of him at every opportunity.  It's a bit odd seing Amanda Bearse playing a supposed teenager when of course she was more well known for playing the parent age Marcy from Married With Children that would have been on air only a year or two after this hit cinema screens.

it over and over and still cry at the end.  New York is the location and it is beautiful. You won't be disappointed.
Point being, it's beautiful now and was even more ruggedly, gourgeous when the movie was portrayed to be filmed there and the historical media used for the film.  They accentuate the 'Beaty of the Wild West' (at that period in time) and that is a major reason to love the movie.  It is very realistic, and harnesses light on the rustic and rough nature of the geographical region as well as society at that point in time..  It portrays what I know by growing up in the mountains and about the early European heritage settling in This great country during that time.

Unable to convince anyone that his new neighbor (Chris Sarandon) is a vampire, a desperate teenager (William Ragsdale) summons the help of a reluctant TV 'horror host' (Roddy McDowall) to confront the monsters in their midst...

It's well filmed; there isn't that MTV, rapid editing that can cause seizures. The audio is excellent; you can actually understand the lyrics. It's well mixed. It's far superior to a lot of live performance DVD's currently released by some bands. X released a product that is worthy of ones money.

This film is marginally better than Ghosts of Mars, but only because Milla Jovovich goes around the place in a really very short mini-skirt and just happens to get skin sticking wet clothes towards the end of the picture. Overall the movie has extremely low production values and even lower prospects in the execution of the film. All of the sets looked contrived, i.e - they have no point being there other than to match scenes in the computer game or look interesting. Oh, yeah did we mention that this is based on a computer game? No, okay lets back up a bit here... Resident Evil just happens to be a really popular 3rd person zombie shoot 'em up horror survival game that they are now selling as a movie. Okay, let's move on...

This, specifically is about the movie's blu-ray transfer and I have to say it's excellent.

I have *no* idea why that is because they're all supposed to be shot on film, even newer movies.
In this story Jude Law, a privilaged rich guy who becomes incapacitated overseas unbeknownst to the authorities sells his identity to Ethan Hawke in order for Jude to continue his rich lifestyle while Ethan works at the astronaut corporation. In the story Jude's genetics said he would be the best swimmer in the world but only earns a silver medal and overall Jude is the epitome of that guy whose pedigree says he should be #1 at everything but isn't - probably because he rests too much on that pedigree.

It is almost shocking today that he didn't win the Oscar for Best Actor.  The reason isn't hard to locate.  Just as Shirley MacLaine lost in 1960 to Elizabeth Taylor when Academy voters thought the latter might be dying (obviously, she survived), so Robert De Niro lost in 1976 when Peter Finch, who had been nominated for NETWORK, actually died.  I liked Finch in NETWORK, but today his performance seems to pale beside that of De Niro's.  In addition to Henry Fonda's mythic performance as Tom Joad in THE GRAPES OF WRATH, it is almost inconceivable that his performance was not acknowledged at the time.

Much of the interaction in this movie takes place between Dolly Parton, Olympia Dukakis, Shirley MacLaine, Darryl Hannah and Sally Field.  The women gossip, criticize each other and support each other, the kind of love and friendship that seems to exist more often in smaller communities.  Dolly Parton is outgoing and friendly, as is Olympia Dukakis.  Shirley MacLaine is noisy and complains about everything, figuring that being old and wealthy allows her the right to complain.  Darryl Hannah is a very religious frumpy young woman with (gasp!) a past, though her past seems mild to many of us.  These women support each other and provide advice, but also an outlet for their wishes and hopes and problems.  They also often like to talk about each other, though in a way they try hard to be polite and supportive when they can.

The movie has the type of laid-back and character-driven humor that won't appeal to everyone. This is comedy that doesn't target laughs or build up elaborate set-ups as most comedies do. Instead, the humor is continuously slow-pitched to you in the form of weird but likeable characters, off-center attitudes, and situations that seem familiar to us but are played in unreal ways and thus become extremely funny. All together, it's an extraordinarily enjoyable and pleasant movie that strolls through its story with no particular rush.
When our inept politicians claim to know who arethe superior persons, and with the scientific advances in genetic research, this may not be science fiction after all.

Bottle Rocket is not flawless.  I'm not sure why not, just as I'm not entirely sure why its so close to flawless.  But it has a wonderful screenplay, full of such lines as "Bob's gone, he stole his car!" or, in response to one characters depression that his eight year old sister thinks he's a failure, "She thinks your a failure?  What she ever do with her life that was so great?"  The romance between main character Anthony and the Paraguayan housekeeper Inez is touching, as is the sometimes uncomfortable friendship between Anthony and the bonkers-in-a-sad-kind-of-way Dignan.  Scenes stay in your memory, like Anthony and Bob watching the retreating Dignan through a fence, or Dignan handing a sparkler to Inez.  The cast is great, from Luke Wilson and Owen Wilson (Owen is always an obvious standout, Luke is the type who you appreciate more with each film you see him in) to Robert Musgrave as the hangdog Bob and Lumi Cavazos as Inez.  And Kumar Pallana makes his inevitable Wes-Anderson-movie appearance as a safe cracker ("ya, I'm ok man").

Ten years later, during which Besson, sadly, has been unable to recapture his earlier promise, but during which Jovovich has actually proven her chops as an actress sans Besson, The Messenger really does deserve to be reconsidered. It turns out to be a smartly-mounted, crisply-edited medieval war movie, more entertaining than Braveheart and others in this genre, and its light, humourous style actually seems prescient in terms of some of the less reverent historical epics that have been produced since. John Malkovich, who, back then, just seemed old and miscast as the Dauphin of France, now somehow seems spot on, a most knowing parody of his own egotistical image, and Jovovich, despite her technical limitations, is full of energy and fire and, as always, looks fantastic. There are even amusing echoes of Besson's more seminal work, with the story bearing striking similarities to that of The Fifth Element (beautiful girl suffused with a higher power saves medieval France instead of the world) and Tcheky Karyo providing a bemused sort of Leon to Jovovich's Mathilda on steroids. Besson's Joan of Arc may not be a candidate for cinematic canonisation, but it's a terrific movie that never deserved to be burned at the stake.

Luc Besson, probably France's best director, brings to the screen an  astounding story told with style, elegance, a gritty feeling, hard-broiled  action and beautiful cinematography. Not to mention the moving and rich  musical score by Eric Serra. "The Messenger" got some heavy flack  by critics who claimed it tried to be "Braveheart" and resorted  to being an action flick. Not so! In fact, I enjoyed "The  Messenger" more than "Braveheart" and the screenplay doesn't  just concentrate on the action. We get to know the characters and Besson  brilliantly shows Joan's troubled psyche and her battles between her heart  and and her conscience. "The Messenger" is exhilarating and  stylish, moving and Besson's masterpiece. This is his best film since  "La Femme Nikita," and the most moving. This movie is grand and  inspiring. Look at the attention Besson pays to the sets and costumes,  music and style. "The Messenger" is rich in the detail seen in  the greatest of period epics. A 90s update of a timeless story. A  masterpiece.
9215	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	I LOVE this movie.  It is one of the funniest movies ever.  Consequently, I am desperately tired of new editions coming out every twenty minutes, with minimal special features, hoping to wrest more money from people who went through college saying "ni", singing about spam and saying "burma" because we panicked.  This is the third packaging of this edition of the movie (and I believe fourth DVD release), and the rationale seems to be that there is a tie-in with the highly unnecessary "Spamalot" stage show.  I cannot fathom why this happens rather than there being, say, something NEW out of five funny men who are still not dead yet.  Come on, leave it alone and do something else.

  With "Resident Evil", it was far from a given that it could make such a good transition into a movie, to me at least.  It's not like "Silent Hill" (which has also generated an excellent movie) or "Fatal Frame" (which I'm still waiting for the movie version of), both of which had lots of identifiable movie potential from the beginning.  The "Resident Evil" games are a bit different, almost nonstop action, most of them not as developed along character or story purposes (these aspects have begun growing in some of the more recent Resident games).  They needed to fill in some areas for the movie to be as good as the games.  Most of the games pit S.T.A.R. (a highly trained law enforcement organization) agents against hordes of ravenous zombies, occasionally teaming the S.T.A.R. agents with other characters.  It's made a lot of great games, but could it move into just as great a movie?  One thing they did was split the focus up among more characters of different backgrounds - you've got the S.T.A.R. team, you've got the amnesiac Alice - whose nature is kept a mystery until near the movie's end) - as a main point-of-view character, there are the Umbrella (the name of the corporation that owns the underground facility) people and you've got another major character coming into it from outside the main 'groups'.  (This trend of character diversifaction has continued with the "Resident Evil: Apocalypse" sequel, and some of the more recent entries to the game line)  It takes longer to build into where the zombie carnage really starts flying, which is fitting for the first entry of a movie series. It introduces the elements at a pace that's equally good for longtime fans of the games and books as well as for viewers who've never even heard of the concept.  All in all, the transition was more successful than I thought it could be - this is a great, hi-octane horror-action movie which succeeds in establishing good characters and a great 'edge-of-catacylsm' air.  The ending flows directly into "Apocalypse"; and a third "Resident Evil" movie is coming in Fall 2007.

Taxi Driver has a deep and thought-provoking storyline- a story that many can relate to because of its realism and accuracy. In my opinion, the story is really about a character that is lonely and misunderstood; I'm sure others will find different themes in this film, and that's okay because film will be interpreted differently by different people. Much of the film intensely builds up to a stunning climax, and it works well. The ending of the film is darkly ironic, and I liked it; however, I won't comment further to avoid spoiling it. It's a great story that manages to send significant messages without sacrificing entertainment.

I noticed that some previous reviews had a few objections about various technical and political aspects of the movie.  Yes, there are plenty of bullets flying around while everyone is flying around.  However, I dismissed that as an aspect of the latest in aviation technology as would exist on Air Force One.  Ironically, the idea of terrorists hijacking Air Force One is more believable today than when the movie came out.  My pet peeve with the movie has to do with the failure to properly explain how an inside member of the President's circle could be the one to aid and abet this takeover.  In the several times I've seen the movie, this matter has never satisfactorily been explained.  However, these are mere anomalies when compared to all of the thrilling, action-packed adventure that is the essence of "Air Force One".  It is truly one of the great action movies of the 1990's.

Overall Resident Evil: Apocalypse is a great film. But it just seemed like something was missing. The movie could have been longer and focused more on the zombies, lickers, and Nemesis. But for what was given on the silver screen, it is satisfying. The DVD has a plethora of extras on it as well so you shouldn't get bored with it. Definitely worth a look if you are a fan of this kind of stuff.

The 1978 film "MIDNIGHT EXPRESS" was a film that was known for its controversial story but also seen as a film masterpiece as it was the first major film to depict foreigners inhumane treatment in prison and it was brought alive due to the awesome performance by actor Brad Davis ("Chariots of Fire", "Roots") and a film directed by Alan Parker ("Bugsy Malone", "Pink Floyd the Wall", "Fame", "Evita" and "Angela's Ashes") and a screenplay by Oliver Stone ("Platoon", "JFK", "Natural Born Killers", "The Doors" and "Alexander").  The film would also feature the talents of composer Giorgio Moroder ("Flashdance", "Scarface" and "Over the Top") and cinematography by Michael Seresin ("Fame", "Angela's Ashes", "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" and "Step Up").

Superhero films are big in Hollywood right now, though I doubt they'd make a reboot of this movie a part of me is glad they won't. This classic can hold it's own without the need for any blockbuster A-lister or CGI effects.
The atmosphere is clinical, very much reminiscent of Event Horizon, another movie made by the same director Paul Anderson, only that Event Horizon is a slightly more interesting movie. The movie's sterilized feel is almost devoid of human emotions, even in the one or two forced scenes where the characters are supposed to express sympathy and compassion. Those scenes are ineffective. It feels like the script writers feel compelled to include them only to make sure the audience can distinguish the otherwise cold and expressionless human characters from the zombies and artificial intelligence. The stubborn refusal to develop the characters in any three-dimensional sense is rather annoying.

Just when you might think the plot drags a  bit here comes another Sinatra standard..and oh that 1957 Thunderbird.!
  Billy tries to makes a run for it & is recaptured. He is initially sentenced to serve just over 4 years for possession. With no time for the more harsh crime of smuggling drugs.
Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, and Jude Law can all make a case for this being their greatest artistic achievement. Each actor seems to cease being themselves and immerse themselves into the role with a completeness that I have rarely witnessed on screen.  As one begins to watch even the first scenes, you are drawn into Ethan Hawke's character and cannot help but become emotionally attached.

This movie is surely the benchmark by which all other vampire films should be measured. But, why rip people off to get rid of it? I don't, can't, and never will understand human greed. You people all sicken me. The reason you haven't sold your Blu-ray copies is not because the movie is not popular. It is.

I love the 'look' as Jane but her acting is just not there. It is like she is too faint and disembodied in the role. Jane is a substantial person with depth. Samantha captures the fairy unworldy part but never is strong and resounding in her performance. It is almost like the role was too much for what she had inside to give to it.

  I have always loved Gothic Horror, particularly the old Hammer horror films such as what Peter Vincent shows on his TV show.  Not only do I not see a purpose in the Fright Night remake but I feel it fails on my many levels where the original excels.  The vampires of the original Fright night had the powers of Dracula, himself. They could turn into horrible little bats, or wolves, or mist.  They could enthrall human wills and could show up on film as a human might.  In the remake they have no such abilities and this is not so-well compensated by an excess of explosions.

Unfotunately, what they don't realize is that awaiting them are hordes of the living dead who are hungry for human flesh!  Action/horror film directed by Paul Anderson mixes in elements from Cube, Ghosts of Mars, and Day of the Dead, and is never entirely successful, due to some bad acting (Jovovich, surprisingly enough, being the exception), a grating industrial musical score, and zombie shootouts that aren't directed with as much flair or intensity as you might expect.  Still, there are several standout sequences that are tense and thrilling, particularly a scene where approaching lasers try to make mincemeat out of the team inside an enclosed hallway, several exciting fight scenes against zombies, and the suspenseful finale that pits the survivors against a monstrous genetic experiment.  Definitely recommended to genre fans, and once again, Jovovich just rocks in this movie.

The story never let's go off you (even the end will leave you haunted and wondering) and the lonesomeness of New York seen through Bickle is mesmerizing. It is filmed in such a way that allows you to see the world has the main character would, who thinks New York is covered with "trash". Travis Bickle also narrates the story, making it emotional and more than just a one-dimensioned story.

5465	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This film is over looked and recently was redone, poorly.  This one is classic and captures the 80s style.  There are several cheesy effects but the overall composure of the entire film is excellent.  The best scene is the one with a very young and pretty Amanda Bearse (her first role) being seduced by the vampire (Sarandon) in a Disco.  The lighting and scene is to die for.  Roddy McDowall also never really got credit for this role properly.  His role is very well done.  And some of the lines are quite funny.  It mixes horror and comedy in the best possible ways.  Rent it and see.  Colin Farrell is cute but could never play the kind of character as well as Chris Sarandon did in this version.  Finally the role of Charlie is much better portrayed by William Ragsdale , very sexy and attractive I must say.  Again this film and many actors were over looked at that time.


Later, in the Indianapolis Air Traffic Control Center, a more dramatic close encounter of the first kind plays out on the radar scopes as airliner pilots call in reports of bright lights in the sky and unknown contacts make their presence known.  For a few tense minutes it look as though tragedy is imminent, but within moments the contacts vanish into the night sky.  Torn between reporting a UFO sighting or just letting the incident slide by, pilots and air traffic controllers alike opt to keep quiet, mainly to avoid having to fill out tons of bureaucratic paperwork.

Overall, it was inspiring and it too displayed the myopic view of where the world thought a woman's place was. And, how not unchanged it is today. Irony though...her name and history was canonized, nevertheless. Bravo!

De Niro is the lonely guy who takes a one-way ticket to the loony bin when he is shunned by the world. The world around him is too busy to take notice of him and his loneliness turns into frustration, then into desperation and culminates in psychosis. He becomes in hell-bent in rescuing a young prostitute (Jodie Foster) from her way of life and shoots up some pimps and low-life along the way. That is Taxi Driver in a nutshell, but what makes this great is how all the actors literally live their roles and make us feel as if they are just on candid camera.

But that's exactly why it works: The laughs are goofy and often puerile, and for all the zippy one-liners that don't quite elicit a full-belly guffaw, Allen piles on with cutting satire (focused mostly on footage of presidents Nixon and Eisenhower).

Making this time travel back was a really great experience.
Thank you for your time.
Im sorry that as a group they didn't last as long nor did their reunion concert that I attended with my then 13 year old daughter catapult them into a new vibrancy.

Seriously - I tried to watch this movie on two different occasions and it failed to make me want to watch it thru to it's conclusion both times.  I found myself distracted by the least little thing.

Not long after that, Billy Hayes finds himself in court, having his sentence upped. This is one of the more troublesome scenes in the picture; his big courtroom speech, which includes some of the most obviously anti-Turkish sentiments of the film, is full of the less-than-subtle dialogue and reckless hyperbole that have been a thorn in the side of Oliver Stone's critics in the years to come. For all of its problems, however, Midnight Express is unquestionably effective. Parker seems to see it, first and foremost, as an antsy, jittery mood piece, he doesn't let a lot of sunshine in to his frames, and his handling of the story's violence is demanding and relentless. The direction is particularly compact during a nervy escape attempt; he shoots and cuts the sequence with razor sharpness, made stronger by the choice to go without music. The score itself, by Giorgio Moroder, is a mixed bag; renowned at the time for its innovative use of synthesizers, it was the first all-synth score to win an OSCAR, the dread-filled music works beautifully in the first act, but is alternately bombastic, syrupy, and button-pushy through the rest of the film. We've seen before how nothing can date a film quicker than an inappropriate score, and that's often the case here. But as you will hear from the Extras, that Vangelis was Alan Parkers preferred choice and I feel it would have been a far more of a superior music score and I think Alan Parker was rather miffed at being over ruled by the studio executives.
Any Muppet fan will fall in love with A Muppet Family Christmas.  It really is the whole family... when Fozzie and the gang arrive at his mother's farmhouse for the holiday, they stumble across Doc and Sprocket.

The Fraggles even come around after Kermit and Robin stumble across the hole that leads to their cave.  With the family coming full circle, it's a full house brimming with love, laughs, and fun.

 This is not a simple story, and the drama which plays out between Neary and his wife (Teri Garr) is brilliant. Guiler's angst for her missing son is also perfectly portrayed by Dillon, one of the finest character actresses of this era. But the core of Close Encounters, the moment of truth, is the sequence involving the aliens. There are so many hundreds of ways this scene could have gone wrong. The aliens could have looked fake, but they didn't. The lighting could have been wrong, but it wasn't. The aliens are portrayed as being just as shy as we are - a perfect choice. There's a sense of wonder throughout the extraordinary proceedings. Eventually, one gets the feeling that if we truly meet brothers from another planet, it will happen much as it does in Close Encounters.

Blu-ray Special Features and Extras:
Irvin Kirschner, the very intelligent director who guided this (as well as "Empire Strikes Back", etc..), provides a non-stop commentary track which is interesting.

What I have is the 2-DVD Special Edition with tons of bonus material. Disc one has the feature presentation with the option to view it in either wide or full screen and three audio commentary tracks (including one with actors Sienna Guillory, Oded Fehr, Milla Jovovich and Milla's unfortunate cackling - and they sure make fun of Germans a lot). Disc 2 has: 20 forgettable deleted scenes, 12 minutes worth; cast outtakes; "Game Over: RESIDENT EVIL Reanimated" - a six-part "Making Of" the film (focusing respectively on the stunts, the zombie choreography (the Undead Boot Camp), the sets, the weapons used, and the visual f/x); "Game Babes" explores the emergence of female action stars in cinema, showcasing Milla Jovovich and Sienna Guillory; "Corporate Malfeasance" is a featurette focusing on how the Umbrella Corporation bears real world similarities; "Symphony of Evil" is  a special effects montage; "Poster Gallery" showcases five submissions from the finalists of the online poster design contest; and there are movie trailers, including the theatrical trailer and teaser for RESIDENT EVIL: APOCALYPSE and the trailer for RESIDENT EVIL.
The special effects team (who, in fairness, didn't have much to do other than the aforementioned toenail clipping close-ups and the odd distant rocket launch) seem to have missed the last 35 years in development of special effects.

9896	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, Gore Vidal and especially Jude Law all shine in this low key sci fi drama set in the not too distant future. Two trends that are now really beginning to unfold have reached their full fruition: 1) genetic engineering has reached the level where it is available "over the counter"; and 2) society has completely split into a privledged and unprivledged caste system, based almost entirely on the genetic quotient.
The struggle for survival turns the film into a roller coaster journey that goes up and down, but unfortunately it seems to stay down most of the time as the action sequences become too cool, almost godlike, which removes any atmosphere of fear, or trepidation that Resident Evil should arise.  The true horror, which was an element in the first film, is wiped out as the film instead attempts to offers a cinematic experience through shoot 'em up action.  There are some interesting scenes such as Alice running down a wall, and the Nemesis attack on the S.T.A.R.S. station, which leaves one survivor.  But overall, Resident Evil: Apocalypse does not provide much fright or scare.  The action sequences, at times, feel awkward and more humorous than suspenseful as the characters are supposed to struggle for survival.  When some poor soul is about to die, it becomes slightly predictable as if some formula was concocted in order to save the film.

Gary Oldman is the movie's main villain, a terrorist with some scores to settle. Both he and Ford are great, and with the added start power of William H.Macy and Glenn Close make this big-name action-fest great fun.
He's suicidal and is about to kill himself when some punks grab him and are about to kill him when... Parry (Robin Williams) arrives and saves him. And then Jack finds out about Parry. He's a homeless guy who thinks he's a knight on a quest to find the holy grail. Jack thinks that he's insane. And then he finds out the awful tragedy that happened to Parry. And that tragedy occured becuase of Jack 3 years ago when he was let go.
 All Travis really wants (and perhaps it's his dissapointment after fighting in the Vietnam war and comming back to a life like this, without the respect or the quality of life he feels he deserves for being a soldier, which many vetrans were faced with) is to protect something that is worth protecting and to seperate himself from the filth that traps him. So he becomes the self appointed angel to a twelve and a half year old runaway hooker named Iris (played by Jodie Foster). To become reconized as the hero he may have been in the war (noticethe scars on his back during the excerise scene) which leads him into this horrific descent into hell.

Many scenes are laugh out loud funny.  I was rolling on the floor laughing during the exchage about aliens.  The drug trips are interesting.  The music is a huge part of the culture and so it is in the movie.
 The Resident Evil movie also has very little in common with its console video game forebears- other than it's title and that it has an evil corporation named Umbrella which has made a terrible virus that turns people into flesh eating zombies. Now, to me, this sounds like a match made in heaven. I'm a graduate of the George A. Romero school of zombie flicks and cut my teeth on Night, Dawn and Day of the Dead. I make no apologies for like spectacular gore- I want to see people being ripped in half with their intestines and other organs spilling out on the floor with wet goopy splatting noises like a bowl of rotten fruits being tipped over. I want limbs hacked off. I want people using 500 bullets to kill something instead of using just one. I want Peter Jackson `Bad Taste' and `Brain Damage' level gore. Resident Evil the movie has flesh eating zombies, but very little gore, very little actual eating of flesh. Almost none. So, what's the point?
Co-starring Gary Oldman, Glenn Close, Wendy Crewson, Liesel Matthews, William H. Macy, and Dean Stockwell, Air Force One's premise is simple: Russian ultra-Communist terrorists take over the President's plane on its way back to the U.S. from Moscow.  Marshall, who by happenstance is separated from his family and staff during the takeover, must use his military training (he's a former Air Force pilot) and his wits to regain control of Air Force One and rescue the hostages before the terrorists achieve their aims.

Samantha Morton, although a great actress here, played Jane far too impertinent for her position, the era and most importantly for the post-Helen Jane who had a gentle spirit that made Mr. Rochester drawn to her in the first place.
Chaney has the self-confidence that comes from being good at what he does. He supports himself with his fighting, but does not live for it. Chaney lives for "the in-betweens." He is a drifter because being settled in hard times gives him no satisfaction; Chaney is an upright man in a beat-down time. His mannerisms are not genteel, though his spirit is. He does not say much, but his actions are compelling.

Picking up exactly where the first film left off, "Apocalypse" once again puts the viewer in to the extremely competent shoes of our protagonist/heroine: Alice. This time, Alice is a genetically engineered killing machine who makes it her lot in life to kill as many zombies as possible using motorcycles, automatic weapons and even her own fists. From the start, the film takes off at a break-neck pace and simply doesn't let up through it's concise 94 minutes.

Monty Python's Flying Circus, which aired on British television from 1969-1973, is an original, funny, TV experience. The latitude that the group was given in terms of creativity is amazing. However, if one digs deeper, he/she learns that sometimes the BBC put the kibosh on some of the gags. In short, the Flying Circus shows were a testimony to the comic brilliance of John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, and my personal favorite, the now deceased Graham Chapman.  The other Python films are all great as well, including The Life of Brian and The Meaning of Life. But in the end, I think we all keep coming back to this film as the first and funniest of the Python movies.

It's a study of a man who's completely alone in the world even when surrounded by other people. What DeNiro was able to do just looking into a mirror asking "Are you talking to me" by himself is one of the best movie scenes in movie history.

There used to be a clamor for fine directors and actors who could convey the thoughts and feelings of an author or screenwriter without the use of nudity or foul language.  They used to make films without explosions and blood and gore.  And those films used to be AND still are better than most anything that Hollywood cranks out today.

3961	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Steven Spielberg topped himself with this movie, which arrived two years after JAWS, the movie that blew the movie industry -- and the rest of us -- away.  The first movie to explore aliens from the vantage point of someone  who could be your neighbor, or YOU, is fascinating and utlimately  surprisingly moving.  The visual wonder of this movie is so palpable you  can almost touch it with your hand, and the performances are so in synch  that you become friends with these people by the time the Mother Ship  arrives -- especially Melinda Dillon and Richard Dreyfuss; Teri Garr is as  usual excellent, and Francois Truffaut is the perfect man to embody a  sympathetic scientist, filled with wonder.  When communication between  humans and aliens begins to explode, I found tears welling up in my eyes,  so complete was Spielberg's magic spell.  The fact that this movie  essentially features no real villian is remarkable; it manages to be  profoundly funny, sentimental, interesting and magical without any real  violence and no real character conflict/battle.  John Williams once again  provides a score of majesty and power; the creative collective genius who  concocted an alien encounter entirely through music, whether it was  Williams, Spielberg, the writers, or a combo, deserve(s) special mention,  and Williams' theme evokes precisely the right emotional chords to  transport you to the galaxies above, or at least to heaven.
And, the movie warns us, what goes around comes around.  I can't express the theme of the movie any more simply than that.
Now go buy it you  sons of a silly person!
Beyond the directorial elements and acting brilliance, is a wonderful storyline. A storyline that in addition to raising some fundamental questions about mankind's role in Nature, also brings out the spirit of human passion, the emotional interplay between Ethan and Uma, the friendship between Jude and Ethan, the relationship between Ethan and Elias Koteas (who plays his brother), and even Ethan and Ernest Borgnine in one honest-to-god natural sequence.

2359	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	It was good to see Roger Moore, no longer James Bond 007, in a film again. This time he plays a character that looks very much like his nemesis Blofeld. Instead of a cat he now keeps a pig in his lap. Very cool idea! As with David Lean's DOCTOR ZHIVAGO it is about a few years in the turbulent life of the all-female Anglo-Soviet assembly. The Spy and Spice Girls have plenty of character, and that helps make up for the lack of action and adventure that keeps their movie debut from being a truly epic motion picture. The concert scene at Albert Hall in London was very reminiscent of Hitchcock's THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH. It was kind of a 90's version on some of his themes as well as David Lean's and those of the Bond producers. However, it has a potential of being cult epic like AUSTIN POWERS. Perhaps not.

After coming out of a catatonic state, he becomes Parry, living in the basement of the apartment building where he and his wife had resided.  He is a friend to the homeless and saves the life of Jack Lucas a disc jockey whose vitriolic diatribe sent one of his listeners over the edge.  The listener is the guy who shoots up the bar where Parry and his wife were.  After this happens Lucas becomes an alcoholic being supported by his long suffering girlfriend played by Mercedes Ruehl (in an Oscar winning role).  His connection with Parry saves them both.  The human mind is an incredible thing.  Every time Parry thinks about his wife or happiness with a woman he has fallen in love with, he hallucinates a "red knight" who chases him on a horse.  He becomes hysterical with fear. He can't "be" anyone but Parry, his mind won't allow it.  Its self-preservation.  Robin Williams is one of those rare actors who can make you laugh and cry at the same time.  I wish I could give this film more than five stars.
The only area that one may criticize is the very white actors when in fact the people at the time were much darker in complexion. However, this shortcoming is compensated by the accuracy of the actual biblical account of the story which is rare in many biblical productions.

4559	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I first saw this movie when it hit the theatres back in the day when the only reviews were from movie critics on television and in the local paper.  No one really knew anything other than Demi Moore was in it and she was actually pregnant.  When the movie ended the entire audience got up and left the theatre in absolute silence.  I've never had this experience again.  The movie was food for thought.  It's based on the 7 signs of the apocalypse found in the Bible and The New Testament but it is applied to the current day's happenings with explanations throughout the movie plot to help people who are not familiar with those teachings understand.  With that being said it is not a bible thumping movie.  You are taken through a whole chain of events (with a couple of twists) with the story being centered mostly around this young mother who is pregnant and her attorny husband that unknowingly are participants in the revelations.  You may be able to guess the end of the story as it approaches but it doesn't soften the impact of the message.  It you're a thinker, it leaves you speechless.  I highly recommend it as a good movie whether you do or do not hold religeous beliefs.

What I really like about this version is the sweet chemistry between Jane and Mr. Rochester. She finds him charming in spite of how flawed he is, and it really shows in her expressions. Ciaran Hinds' Mr. Rochester is abrupt and unpolished, and I rather liked his portrayal. His Mr. Rochester is gruff, passionate, volatile, and vulnerable. And Samantha Morton's Jane is spunky, sweet, and feminine, I think more so than other Jane Eyre's. Yet she still embodied Jane's quiet reserve and stifled passion.

The film's plot revolves around Vincent Freeman (Ethan Hawke), an In-Valid who works as a janitor at an aerospace firm named Gattaca Corporation.  But in spite of society's view of him, Vincent has dreams of someday going into space himself, and his intelligence and all-consuming drive to find a way to transcend societally imposed barriers leads him into an alliance with a black-marketeer (Tony Shalhoub) and a genetically "superior" young man (Jude Law) who wants to sell his own identity.  Soon Vincent is engaged in a scheme to secure employment as an engineer at Gattaca and thereby realize his goals and dreams.  But once he's finally on the other side of the fence, how long can he sustain such subterfuge in a society where an individual's genetic identity is constantly monitored and even a lost eyelash can provide authorities with enough genetic material to expose a fraud?

To begin the characters were very disrespectful to the original.  I remember hearing of this sequel and hoping they would build more on Milla character, giving her more to work with and more past stories of her time at the Umbrella Corporation.  I was a hopeful viewer who wished for more deeply rooted characters with many layers, but found the Hollywood clich instead.  The entire character known as LJ could have been eliminated with the greatest of ease and without any remorse.  His lines were the epitome of every other zombie film created while trying to bring his own game references into a franchise that was doing well on its own (the GTA line nearly took my rage over the top).  Like any good supporter of films and video games, I don't mind when they bring in more characters from the series, but let us know who they are first.  There was no introduction to Valentine for those less familiar with the series other than she knows how to shoot zombies and she was disbarred from the force (see the writing on the wall).  This goes the same for Carlos, who just wandered through his part without really contributing anything worth while, and Nicholai, whom I always considered another villain of the series.  Oh well, I guess when tons of Hollywood cash is being thrown in your direction, you can just go crazy with creativity and forget the basis of your film.  Yet again, who am I to say?  Milla was the only one worth watching in this entire film, and even her character seemed to be turning to cardboard by the end.  It was a sad change of events for the Resident Evil group.

6970	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I must say, I certainly didn't have high hopes for this movie. I've been a fan of the video game series since the first game was released back in the spring of 1996. I can't remember when the movie was announced, but it was a very long time ago. I want to say 1998, not long after Resident Evil 2 was released. I think I was a little optimistic at the news, but months and months went by with no more word of the movie actually being made, just rumors that George Romero was possibly being brought on to direct, and then that he wasn't. Finally, the first details and publicity photos emerged. It looked and sounded... well, pretty bad. It was revealed that the plot revolved around an "evil computer". This wasn't good news, since NONE of the games involve such. It sounded like it was going to be yet another weak video game cash-in; "Ah, who cares what's in the games, that stuff won't work in a movie. We'll start from scratch, as long as there's zombies in it, those mindless, idiot gamers will be happy." I pretty much lost interest in it. But then couple of months ago I saw the trailers, and my curiosity was once again piqued. It looked like it might actually not [be that horribly bad]. (edited by Amazon)
How is this a racist movie? One guy was complaining that it was racist against black people because the black man does not kill many zombies, and only has a few lines. That tells me that a movie that is nothing but a black man standing on a stage telling a bunch of other black people that black men are perfect and every other race in the world is stupid is not racist, but a black not killing zombies and having a few funny lines is racist. I am Asian, but I lived in America my whole life. I do not have an accent. I do not look Asian, and I do not need some black guy telling me that when I get pulled over by the police, I pretend I do not know how to speak English. I speak one language, and have always spoken one language, and that is English. I do not need some black guy telling me what I do and do not do. He does not know me. If you think this movie is racist, then you need to get with the times, because everything is racist now, and nobody cares anymore.

The Japanese star in this film is Toru Nakamura.  Popular for his awesome work in Japanese dramas such as "Nemureru Mori" (The Sleeping Forest) and "Ko-ri no Sekai" (The Ice World).  He speaks in English and in Japanese in this movie but I think it was pretty cool they included him in this movie trying to attract Japanese viewers. In this movie he plays Akatora.  The bad guy!  For those who followed his works, he can definitely play a hardcore bad guy!  The man is definitely a talented actor.
his eyes realllly bugged out in all of the strangleholds by Oldman.
The quality of the Blu-ray is amazing and could not look any better. The little featurettes and documentaries are pretty cool, but the main treat is the movie itself. And with Amazons price of $20, it is an offer you can't pass up. Very much worth replacing your good old fashioned DVD with. Highly recommended.

The plot focuses around a teenage boy named Anton Tobias.  Like any other teenager, Anton is lazy and enjoys the usual stereotypical activities such as getting high.  His two best friends are no better than he is, and together the three of them are the ultimate slacker archetype.

The premise of "Gattaca" is a future utopia where humans are able to be genetically engineered.  This is to say, that parents can shop for their offspring's biological traits as one would select features on a custom-designed automobile.  Innocent enough according to most people, but those of us who think these things through know where that will inevitably lead.  This is a story about that inevitability.  Ethan Hawke plays an abused minority in the film; he was born naturally through sexual intercourse the way we all were.  This makes Vincent what is referred to as an "Invalid".  "Valids" are those who had their makeup determined for the strongest and most genetically superior traits.  How can a random smattering of parents' DNA with all of the intrinsic flaws compete?  It can't.  Hawke's character is not only gnerally physically inferior, but he was born with a heart defect that all but insured he wouldn't live to see 30.  But he did.  Being a stubborn underdog we can all root for,  he is bound and determined to realize his dream of being an astronaut.  But given that every Valid on the planet is physically better qualified, people like him are only allowed to perform menial labor.  Legalized worldwide apartheid with no constitutionally unsound ramifications.  The idea bears a striking resemblance to some of the practices of Communist.  It's a simple system of picking the best people for the job so technically it's not discrimination.  No morality involved.  At all.  Hitler's vision of a Master Race is just around the corner.

Often, what works well in a novel does not work well on screen. Jarrold understands this, and presents Dickens' characters as real human beings, establishes a setting that complements mood, and creates a version of 'Great Expectations' that is, in my opinion, one of the best every made.

3098	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	Jack Nicholson and the great soundtrack are really the only interesting or entertaining aspects of this film. I found myself fighting the urge to sleep, which was especially annoying after reading over and over again for years about what a classic, epochal movie ER was. If you want excitement, great story and script, great acting danger and an even better soundtrack from the same era, go for Performance or Get Carter. Avoid this snore.
Young Danny (Austin O'Brian) spends his time watching cheesy action flicks, particularly those by action star Jack Slater (Arnold Schwarzenegger). When an old projectionist gives Danny a magical ticket, Danny is transported into one of Jack's movies where the laws of physics (or reality) don't have much meaning. It seems like the perfect world for Danny until Jack's nemesis (Charles Dance) finds the magic ticket and enters into the real world. It's up to Danny and Jack to stop him, but without the luxury of movie magic.
4754	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	I just finished the book, Killing Reagan and I wanted to see how a movie could make John Hinckley want to kill Reagan.  It did not have that effect on me.  It made me want to kill myself for a waste of two hours and 15 bucks.  I would not recommend the movie nor trying to figure out a crazy person's motivation.  I highly recommend the book Killing Reagan however.
The fight scenes are some of the best I have ever seen, the costums, dialog settings and acting are all superlative.

Okay, the "cheap" feeling stayed for somewhat longer. Only as the years went by did the production values start to go a bit upscale.  Never near the level of something like Downton Abbey, mind you, but good enough to become invisible.

The setting is rural Indiana.  Our main character is one Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss), a struggling electrician who is contacted by aliens and travels to Devil's Tower to meet them.  Accompanying Roy is a distraught mother (Melinda Dillon), whose little son was "kidnapped" by the aliens.

Now you don't have to see the original to enjoy this sequel, as the makers of the film provide a certain amount of back-story at the beginning, but you probably should to get the full flavor.  I really wasn't expecting a lot seeing as how this was a sequel and we all know sequels rarely meet the level of the original that spawned said sequel, so I was pleasantly surprised when the film turned out to be pretty good, well, good in the sense that it's a movie based off of a video game.  And that's what I think people should keep in mind, especially those disappointed at the lack of substance within the plot.  A majority of the plot actually extends from the first, setting things up for this picture, which is heavy on action, light on nearly everything else.  I thought the actors did a pretty good job (that Sienna Guillory is one fine, hotsy totsy momma, playing the role of Jill Valentine).  I especially enjoyed Mike Epps as the urban civilian caught up in forces way beyond his control, relating some truly funny lines in a completely realistic manner.  I normally despise comic relief characters, as they're often played so ridiculously over the top that they distract more than anything else, but that wasn't the case here.  The one aspect I disliked the most about the film was the excessive, epileptic, herky jerky camera work and quick cutting, meant to heighten the tension during the more action filled scenes, but it just served to annoy the heck out of me.  This type of direction can be effective in smaller doses, but it's used too often here, and may cause some viewers to reach for the Dramamine.  Also, I thought it odd that every time the undead were shown, their shots were often marred by jittery cutting, as if to highlight something (I don't know what), but it made me wonder if it was done to draw away from the detail, or lack of, concerning the make up of the characters.  There were quite a few characters in this film, each seeming to have their own, little storyline going, but then they're unified nicely once their goals become shared.  The special effects are very slick, and the action rarely slows down, and there's lots of guns, gunfire, explosions, things getting blown up (blown up real good).  I thought the film a little short (it does list a 94 minute running time), but the ending sets up for a possible sequel.
As to the differences in the plot, are you kidding?  Do these critics have any idea how horribly mangled a book can get when it falls into the hands of Hollywood producers?  I give this film credit for letting Billy stay male instead of being made into a woman to make him more "vulnerable", or getting arrested in Aruba instead of Turkey because it's more photogenic.  And hey, kudos to the filmmakers for wanting to use the story to try and fight a horrible injustice, since that's one of the reasons Hayes wrote the book in the first place!
Not for all tastes, and the Internet has probably spoiled most of the jokes, but still worth a look and good for some side-splitting laughs.  Best for ages 13 and up due to some off-color humor and a few scenes of over-the-top gore (played for laughs, of course).

It's along the lines of "Bananas" and "Sleeper," so it's definitely a comedy, and it's just one laugh after another.  No chase scenes.  No surround sound.  Just a very funny movie, and one of the few worth having in your collection.
The action and suspense pack Gattaca to the top. The suspense is kept on full burn the entire film, with Vincent being suspected of the brutal murder of a flight planner. A riveting cat-and-mouse game begins between the characters, with myriad twists, turns, and agonizingly tense bursts of action.
3620	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Are we alone? Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a classic American film. It was directed by Stephan Spielberg and stars Richard Dreyfus.  This film set the tone for much of what happened at the movies for roughly the next 15-20 years following its 1977 theatrical release. Close Encounters is essentially a near perfect product defining the time it came out.  The film explores alien visitors, government conspiracies, general paranoia, sensationalism. family issues, and ultimately madness.  The depth these issues are explored make this film a hallmark of American cinema. It is the movie version of imagination and wonder. This is a philosophy and vision regarding what an alien visit to the planet would look like.  There is no war and nothing is getting blown up. The main thing happening is communication. It is amazing. It is done in a such a thoughtful way that it stands effectively as an excellent contribution to the collective consciousness imagination about such matters as alien visits. After repeat viewings the most important question is: What do you believe? This is a human film that defines the medium of movie making.

My cause, I suppose, is men's rights. I'm sympathetic towards the men's movement. When I watched, really listened (playing in the next room) the film Rain Man, I couldn't help wonder if the film makers were intentionally contrasting the two main characters in the film, Tom Cruise, a harried self-employed man, and Dustin Hoffman his brother who is stricken by Autism. Dozens of years ago (now long forgotten from memory) psychologists felt Autism was caused by some kind of environmental problem or parental neglect. But the existence of such an idea could potentially be offensive toward women and mothers somehow? In the film Rain Man itself, the film may be suggesting the child with Autism is the luckier or happier of the two.

Like many of these stories I call "male enlightenment films", Jack transforms from cruel and selfish and emotionally retarded, to a joyous, heart-connected fellow, for he has integrated the heart-centered aspects of his being which were formerly modeled by Parry and Anne. In Arthurian terms, he has vanquished the haunting aspect of his experience which the Red Knight represented. The journey from here to there is full of lots of great symbolism; those old Arthurian tales are totally symbolic, of course. Gilliam and writer LaGravenese had fun with Pinocchio, with cups and wounds, with mirrors and cosmetic face masks, and nakedness, that symbol of authenticity easily understood by all.

For instance, when they rob a local bookstore, they don't blast into it like a bunch of tough guys.  They are bumbling and apologetic - and yet, as giddy as can be.  I mean - they're really excited to be hanging out with each other and to be pulling off this heist.  It's almost like a bonding experience for them.  And this is the tone throughout the film.  Despite disagreements, they really care for each other.  Their playfulness (and quasi-innocence) is accentuated by the lighthearted soundtrack (which is also excellent).

While as one would expect, the surround element may not provide much in the way of background effects, the special sounds are pretty great here nonetheless and I think overall most will be pretty satisfied with this 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, especially if you have not got the facility of a Home Cinema set-up.
7439	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Robert Redford can make a poignant, visually stunning film, and one of his finest examples is A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT.  It's the story of two fly-fishing brothers coming of age in 1920s Montana, told in the form of a memoir by older brother Norman Maclean (Craig Sheffer).  Norman is a deep thinker, the complete opposite of his kid brother Paul (this was Brad Pitt's film career launching pad), who is rambunctious, rebellious, and ultimately self-destructive.  While both brothers rebel against their stern minister father (brilliantly played by Tom Skerritt), Norman manages to get a college degree from back east and contemplate leaving his home state, while Paul is in and out of trouble and constantly running up gambling debts.  Yet the brothers bond by fly fishing; it is a mutual commonality that defines their closeness and love.  These fishing sequences are some of the most compelling scenes in the film, and Redford delivers the vistas magnificently.

Yet BOTTLE ROCKET falls short in its bid for perfection. For one thing, the love story, while sometimes touching, is very artifical and abstract. At times I really wanted Inez and Anthony to get together, but I couldn't help but feel manipulated by the forced nature of their love. Anthony instantly falls in love with the motel housekeeper, who doesn't speak a word of English because she's from Paraguay. The love-at-first-sight gimmick only works when the characters develop a fulfilling emotional bond over time, but this doesn't happen in BOTTLE ROCKET. Also, I think Anderson indulges in the 1960's motif a bit much. From the music to the sets to the hairstyles, everything reeks of the sixties--hell, even all the cars are vintage. There are points in the film where one could easily forget it was made in '96. The ending even reminded me of COOL HAND LUKE. But BOTTLE ROCKET, I've learned, is a very subjective experience and therein lies its genius, at least in part. If you have a well-developed eye, you'll probably like this film, with varying degrees of enthusiasm. The movie's much like a bottle rocket, in fact: it can spark, sizzle, and delight, but in the end, you're not sure whether it could have had more substance. Final note: the DVD is bare-bones. Can't we get at least a commentary, people?

As usual, not every great movie is a box office hit, and Gattaca actually went unnoticed for many sci-fi fans. Why? The film's atmosphere is that of a slow pace dystopia, quite similar to the classic novel&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Fahrenheit-451/dp/B000087F6L/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Fahrenheit 451</a>. Therefore, the movie lacks many of the sophisticated modern special effects we are used to, up to the extreme of astronauts traveling to outer space in full business suits. Also, worth noticing is the great performance by the leading and renowned actors Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, and Jude Law. Deliberately the movie does not have any flamboyant SFX because its simplicity is part of the attractive. It is high tech against the human spirit!

We come to learn that The Hive, a subterranean research megaplex below Raccoon City, has an artificial intelligence: the Red Queen.  Her defense systems whittle down the infiltration team and at least one such scene really stuck with me.  To that end, the effects held up well enough and included some much-appreciated nuance. The CGI was pretty damned good for some parts and very bad for others.  For example, after getting laser-cubed, a soldiers eyeball leaks some white goo before its severed parts fell asunder.  I also liked the zombie dogs, which were less CGI and more live dog covered in goo suits.  On the other hand, certain zombies missing chunks of their face were blaring examples of obsolete CGI technology and the main monster almost looked as it would in the actual videogame complete with 128-bit graphics.  The boss creature was little more than a dumb tongue-lashing monster depicted as a CGI mess. I preferred the dogs and the chop suey lasers over this non-descript beast.

I write this on the day after the release from prison of Arthur Bremer, would-be assasin of Democratic Presidential candidate and segregationist George Wallace was gunned down and paralyzed for life in a Maryland campaign stop. I was a grade schooler when this shooting took place and it was one of the more horrific events to see on TV at that age. Screenwriter Paul Scrader and directer Martin Scorcese based "Taxi Driver" on the events of Arthur Bremer's life and diary, a man with a pathetic and lonely existense who sought quick fame and acceptance by assasinating a political figure. FIrst he tried to blast Richard Nixon, and when that proved too difficult, he made Democratic front runner George Wallace his target. There was no political motivation in Bremer's actions, only a desire to rise above the emptyness of his existence.

It's difficult to say whether or not the Blu-ray edition of Last Action Hero is worth it, especially with the serious lack of bonus features and the relatively high price tag associated with Blu-ray disks.

Charlotte Rampling as Miss Havisham is younger, more beautiful and a bit more sane than she is usually portrayed but the part is well acted.  The actors playing Joe Gargory, Magwich, Remmick, Orlick and Jaggers are all well suited to their parts and do admirable jobs.  The movie has quite a dark and sinister mood and a lot of the characters that provide comic relief in the book including Pumblechook, Wopsle, the Pocket family, and Clara's father are eliminated or have the humorous aspect's of their characters trimmed leaving us nothing to laugh at.  A brooding musical score and lots of scenes of the desolate marshlands, dirty London and the decay of Miss Havisham's house also contribute to the somber mood.
4312	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Like a large percentage of Arnold Schwarzenegger's work, this is a film with a strong fantasy/altered reality element to it that works quite well overall, despite at times seeming too beholden to action formulae, rather than being willing to take the fantastic risks it looks like it's going to.  John McTiernan's 1993 LAST ACTION HERO was roundly criticized at the time of its release for being overblown and not delivering the goods that were expected from a $70-90 million (a lot of money at the time) film.  It came in the wake of TERMINATOR II, a hard act to follow certainly, and also just after McTiernan's financially disappointing MEDICINE MAN - but with his big hit THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER still reasonably fresh.  More importantly, the director had gotten his big break with PREDATOR, which was an important step in Arnold's rise to superstardom; this was their first (and to date only) reteaming.  I suppose expectations were higher than any film could deliver, and when the film failed to ignite either critics or the box office (to be fair, it was always in the mighty shadow of JURASSIC PARK), the word "flop" started to get bandied about, and the cynics started to wonder of the star's decade of dominance was coming to an end.

Some of the topics dealt with are quite intense, and yet somehow Barbra Streisand as a director manages to handle them deftly, neither overdramatizing them nor underplaying their significance. This movie deserved every Academy nomination it got, plus one for director, and should have won far more than it did. Kudos and many thanks to Barbra Streisand and Nick Nolte for this gem.

1277	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	Even though ten years older than myself, it is clear that director Jeremiah Chechik didn't have a clue as to what made the TV version a draw (Diana Rigg).  If you don't cast a Diana Rigg then forget doing a remake.  When Val Kilmer took on the role of "The Saint" it was casting agent Elisabeth Leustig and director Phillip Noyce (Clear and Present Danger, Patriot Games) that had the right stuff to revive a British staple of 60's television.  It should have been Noyce directing "The Avengers-1998" as well, coupled with another incredible music score of Graeme Revell.  I've no doubt it would have been DY-NO-MITE!  But it wasn't....not even close.  Keep your fingers crossed for the 2012 version.

Director Andrew Niccol paints the picture of a future where humans are valued for little more than their DNA structures. Prospective employees must give blood samples as part of their initial interview process, allowing employers to unfairly discriminate against applicants with undesireable DNA structures (poor health, balding, heart problems, etc.). Into this picture Niccol paints Vincent, an underdog "degenerate" who will do whatever it takes to achieve his dream job: working at Gattaca Aerospace Center and flying into outter space. As the story unfolds, the audience sees just how far Vincent is willing to go to make his dreams a reality, and the consequences that arise from his actions.

Filmed the year after the summer of love had ended, Rider is one of the few true portraits of the cultural landscape of that turbulent era. The mellow Fonda always represents a generations quest for a simple kind of peace while Hopper, who also directed, is the fatal drive towards a futile end, always pulling away from the obvious path. They ride their custom choppers like two cowboys headed through the wild west. It's an obvious analogy but a meaningful one, their dangers were no less great as we find out. Although a notoriously frazzled production, great performances (notably Jack Nicholson), and a supurb use of some of the great rock road anthems of the day help create something fascinating, if quite dated. Of course, whether you lived the era or not, today the movie stands as a great historical representation of the mood of a country during one of America's strangest periods. Hopper's direction seems subdued by contrast to his performance (outside of a depressing and sureal trip and acid trip through Mardi Gras and a rather blunt ending) although perhaps less so considering his admitted, much longer initial cut, before leveler heads prevailed. There is an obvious fly by night amateurish quality overall but It's still a good film, maybe even great in certain ways. Cultural sign posts like this are rare. Rarer still to be made by the ones who lived it.

This is a great film and I think that it would probably be more enjoyable for those people who eat up dramatic and smart thriller movies; persons who want more futuristic science fiction and especially special effects in their sci fi may be less impressed with "Gattaca" depending on what they are looking for.  Some may notice a slightly homoerotic (was I the only one to pick up on this? it wasn't so much about the characters in their interactions but how the movie was filmed and how it lingered on the male stars) tone to the movie, one that is accentuated by more muted and blue and silver colors for the movie's color wheel, but the movie's visual presentation lacks invention and forcefulness.  This in turn gives more suspense to the movie as there are fewer places to hide Freeman or distract a structured society that, I think the filmmaker and writers intend to comment on, is in danger of becoming sterile.  Are these two thoughts joined?  I highly doubt it, but it made me wonder.  4.5 stars.

But Heroin Bob played by Goorjian is completely overacted and  ridiculous, he ruins every scene he is in with his inadequacies.  One other  thing, will someone please get the acid trip right.

No, A River Runs Through It depends on talent.  Talent from the book it was based on - talent from the screenwriter - talent from the director - and finally, talent from the fine cast of actors.
With more than a few references to other zombie flicks, particularly Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, Resident Evil doesn't offer anything very new.  The action is passable but nothing special; essentially, anything this movie does, some other movie has already done better.  On the other hand, there is nothing truly bad in this movie: it merely lacks anything good.
9827	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	Written and directed by Andrew Niccol, this provocative sci-fi thriller envisions a world in which society is fixated on genetics and human-enhancement, and everyone of privileged social standing is classified as either a "valid"--one who is genetically sound--or an "in-valid"--one whose genotype is lesser than that of a valid's. Gattaca is a strong and very intellectual film that poses questions regarding destiny and our society's burdening quest for perfection. It features an enticing cast (which includes Uma Thurman, Ethan Hawke, Jude Law, and Alan Arkin), a stimulating premise, and fervent execution of the done-over murder-thriller plot.
3017	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	I don't have too much to say about this movie, mostly because I already wasted too much time simply watching it - I'm not going to waste even more time detailing out the many reasons why I hated it. I just wanted to add my 1-star rating in the hopes of lowering the average. Hopper and Nicholson have performed better on their respective crappers. (I'm not a fan of Fonda's.) This movie was about as bad as watching a stranger's home video of their toddler's first trip to the petting zoo.
There are a few things you might cringe at.  I found the spikey-haired friend (Ebo?  Is that what they kept calling him?) to be shrill and annoying.  And the cheesy 80's dance scene went on two verses too long, but overall I was impressed by the special effects, the dedication to detail, and the fact that the movie never tried to be anything other than a good, old fashioned, fang-flick.

9324	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Gattaca (1997) is a sci-fi film that is thought-provoking, as it has you questioning your place in the world. What I love about this film is that it doesn't try to do too much; most sci-fi films indulge in special effects or exotic characters, with some exceptions (2001: A Space Odyssey comes to mind as an exception). This film, however, has some interesting settings and neat lighting in many scenes that gives the film a 'tint'.  In this film, the characters are very organic and have an abundance of emotion, so I didn't care about exotic locations or special effects, though they're sprinkled in. The plot is easy to follow, and that's what drew me in. The storyline or subject matter sort of reminds me of Blade Runner, and the sets are futuristic, but not dystopian, like Blade Runner.  Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, Jude Law, Alan Arkin, etc. turn in fantastic performances in their respective roles. This is a film about sheer determination, and realizing ones dream, though it's achieved in unethical fashion, but I didn't care because I believed in the performances of the actors. I also appreciated the occasional humor and memorable dialogue. I respect this extremely underrated sci-fi film that bombed at the box office (despite critical acclaim), and am happy to see that it's getting the respect it deserves as a cult classic years later. The special features are the standard 'making of', deleted scenes, original featurette, etc. The picture quality is pristine, and the sound is clear, though it's on the lower side, so adjust your volume accordingly.

The movie itself is a great social commentary on New York and advertising in the late 70s.  It's a little predictable, but completely entertaining.
Finally, amongst Christmas specials, but particularly amongst those produced by Rankin and Bass, `Santa Claus is Comin' to Town' stands apart. It does so because it is most the most triumphantly well-told of the lot, soon I will describe the most cinematic but here we're talking strictly based on narrative. This may just be Romeo Muller's, the writer Rankin/Bass employed, best work as he makes Santa an even more heroic figure because in this tale we learn of his past, learn to think of him as a person not just an icon, and then also have an antagonist who vilifies him and renders him an outlaw. You have, of course, the talents of Fred Astaire and Mickey Rooney in this tale and the indelible figures of the Winter Warlock and Bergermeister Meisterberger and of course another classic song. It is an absolutely unbeatable combination and one of the best options for the festive season. Highly Recommended!

8792	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I've seen this film about 17 times and I never tire of it. It's not only classic gritty 70's cinema, but it's probably Bronson's best movie as lead actor. Well directed by Walter Hill, who also directed classics like The Warriors and 48 hours. Hill brings the depression and New Orleans in the 30's to vivid life. The acting is spot-on, and personally I think this is Bronson's best performance, as well we have James Coburn who hams it up to classic measure. Struther Martin is simply perfect in his role as Poe as well. There is a lot of superbly crafted fist fighting scenes that are some of the very best I can remember ever seeing, and the film is just plain classic 70's cinema, laying somewhere between B film and Big budget 70's movies. This movie is one of those little miracles that comes along once in a long time. Bronson was just great in this as a bare knuckle boxer who seems tough as nails and merciless, but who really has a heart of gold. By the end of the film there's a beautiful message about the bonds of friendship that we can all learn a lesson from. So I've seen it many times and the film still captivates me every time I see it. It's classic Bronson and well worth seeing!!!
Why does Travis want to kill Palantine? Is it because he wants revenge? He wants to Kill the thing Betsy loves most, which is her cause? Is it because Travis sees the phoniness of politicians is just as bad as the Pimps and Prostitutes on the streets. Is it because HE wants the fame?

Joan rides to Orleans to defend the city. The people gather around. Joan has a new plan to attack the English. "So that's it!" The English reply with a simple message: never. Joan rides to rally the French. "Follow me to victory!" They do. They raise a bigger army before attacking the English. "Bless them all." Joan speaks to and inspires the French army. "Follow me!" Joan leads an attack and is struck by an arrow through her chain mail. The next morning Joan recovers and calls for another attack. Joan has a new tactic with an old tower to break into the castle. The French break down the gates and invade the castle. "We won." A glorious victory! But the English are forming on the other side of the river. Joan tells them to "Go Home" now in peace. Or be buried in the field. The British retreat, Orleans is free. It's a miracle. The Dauphin is crowned in Rheims.

To make matters worse, though Milla is as beautiful as ever, the film's confusing (and unfocused) plot somehow refuses to use her to the full.  In fact, you don't see Alice on screen for considerable time, as the film heavy-handedly introduces other characters into the story.  And the way it does is so confusing that you find the film repetitive -- see how many times you have to see some people biting others, which causes inevitable results.  Many have already seen the consequence in the original, so once is fine.  Twice is unnecessary.
Our film starts off with young Arnold movie obsessed Danny Madigan as he hangs around at his local movie theater. He's a regular and has befriended the boss from Mrs. Doubtfire who moonlights as the theater owner, who invites Danny to a secret midnight screening of the new Jack Slater movie. Sounds a bit to catch a predator sketchy but the old man checks out and was not just "some old guy wanting to perv you out." Somehow the ticket Danny receives is magic and transports him into the back of Arnold caddie. From there he tags along everywhere in a world where the movies are a reality.

Another aspect of the film that was refreshing was just the scenery. The scene at the beginning with Pip encountering the convict in the cemetery, the grassland scene at the beginning and the end of the movie, and the dreariness of London (as Pip first arrives) all seem to be very illustrative of the attitude of the film.

Also, there's the famous final scene when Travis emerges as a hero.  It's likely that the dying Bickle fantasizes this whole scene, but that's never made clear to the audience.  That confusion at the end is enough to eradicate a star in an otherwise brilliant movie.

4575	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	It's still a fun watch after all these years and what a trip back in time!  Who doesn't like watching F-16s blow stuff up?! The aerial scenes and effects are pre-CGI and not as well done as in Top Gun.  The low budget effects don't detract from the story and has that fun 1980s cheesy feeling that you get after being spoiled by 20+ years of improved special effects.  Louis Gossett Jr is great, the guy who plays protagonist "Doug" isn't toooo bad and who knew that "Katie" (Doug's girlfriend) would make such a great career for herself after such a tiny part in this movie.  It stinks that it's not "for rent" as I've watched it exactly 3 times since it first hit video, but the "buy" price is pretty cheap.
I look at the bad reviews of the movie, and wonder how many people have actually WATCHED the movie? Did they just give it one star because they hate the Spice Girls? I think that was probably the case for most reviewers. Congratulations to the people who gave it 4 or 5 star reviews - you're not ashamed to admit you liked the movie! I also liked it. The Spice Girls may not be popular anymore or what you'd call the latest thing, but they were a fantastic girl band. I bet nearly everyone had at least one song they liked from the girls.

The movie is layden with completely random parts, but you can tell the characters in the movie know it's random so it works for the film. The arguments over the swallows carrying coconuts, the black night scene, the scene where you "Bring out ya dead!", the nights who say "ni", and the very, VERY random scene with the animated sun and clouds yelling "Stand up! Stand up!" This is all pretty confusing at first, but that's the genius of Monty Python. And these sorts of scenes seem to fit in no matter how bizzare they are. And you just gotta love the beginning with the subtitles continuously being messed up, with some guy typing about his sister getting bitten by a moose. The ending is probably my only complaint, as it's so abrupt and kinda leaves a little to be desired.

All of us have known, in some shape or form, how Travis Bickle (played brilliantly by Robert DeNiro) feels.  There is a time in every person's life in which he/she feels isolated from the world, perhaps out of place or unjustly a receiver of misfortune.  Travis, on the other hand, is consumed by this sense of loneliness and despair, taking it to the brink of pure destruction and maniacal proportions.

6486	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I enjoyed the first resident evil film because of the action but where was the gore from the games. The zombies didn't seem that hungry to me. They were supposed to be ravanous flesh hungry zombies but that wasn't what you see. For instance take the bloke who gets pinned down in the lift. You see loads of zombies clawing at him but when he becomes a zombie later, he has some lacerations and a few chunks out of him. Does that seem like ravanous zombies to you? If that had been a george romero film, you can guarantee that there wouldn't have been anything left of him to get back up. Except maybe a skeleton. Where as Resident Evil Apocalypse was better than i thought it would be. The blood flowed much more in this film. The zombies took more detailed chunks out of their victims (if you were pinned down in this film, there would be nothing left of you as these zombies really are hungry. Check out the poor woman who gets it in the school. You don't see her again. Gee i wonder why?) and the lickers were better too and it was scary during parts too. The intro to jill was cool. You don't need an intro to her character in this film as you already know her from the games and the game that she used that dress in was Resident Evil Nemesis (which i believe this film was loosely based on)where she popped a zombie's head as soon as she saw it. Alice is better in this film as she can seriously kick ass. Both zombie and nemesis. The intro of the original s.t.a.r.r.s team was good, even though they didn't last very long. The ending was very good too as alice, the zombies and a special character turns against their creators at umbrella. About time they got what was coming to them. Look forward to R.E 3. More blood, more guts and most importantly more glory.

All in all a good movie to see, but not necessarily one to watch again and again.  And in my mind, if you combined the start of "House on Haunted Hill" with the ending of "Resident Evil" you'd have a near perfect horror movie.
I think those who've engaged that argument have been going about debate much the wrong way, for there are really no similarities in these two pictures except for the fact that both includes aliens and otherworldly craft ... but the comparison really stops there.
It is of an older style.  The characters are so human.  All of the episodes are based on  Mortimers books, I think, and I have the books.  Set in the current time of the mid 1970s to the early 1990s the episodes concern common regular folks in London for the most part.

I would never want to have an encounter, The movie itself is not bad,but you go back to one place(India) then another (Muncie,Indiana) why not focus on One place and one plot? I prefer Signs to this. And the end of this movie totally killed it for me. See for yourself whether you agree or disagree with my review.it's not a bad movie  but certainly could have been better.

But as an action movie, it's up there with the best of the I've-got-some-time-to-kill-and-feel-like-watching-some-action-movie genre.  That's the situation I was under when I watched this movie.  Must say, I was thoroughly enjoying this movie.  Didn't really care that the plot was thin.  Didn't give a damn I didn't see any recognizable characters from the game (which I've played).  I saw a damn good action movie!

I think what makes this movie so special for me is how little you see of the UFO's during the entire movie and how it affects the characters throughout the film. Then we are rewarded with the best final 20 minutes of any film made since. And the music...not just the "5 notes" but the entire soundtrack by John Williams is so haunting and is a character in itself.

In my case, watching these films - especially INTO THE WILD - brought me back to a time when I myself, like the character in the movie, was 22 years old and questioning my place in life: what I wanted to be, what I wanted to do, where I wanted to live, how I wanted to live, and who I wanted to be with. I realize now that I was seeking a sense of place to fit in and a community to be a part of that I felt comfortable in more than merely trying to "find myself." But understanding that when you are going through it is another thing altogether. Watching INTO THE WILD hits home on all these points and more! I remember having just seen The Grateful Dead in concert in Hartford, Connecticut with my good buddy, Jimmy, in May of 1997, and feeling like I wanted to just bust loose of all of the constraints of society that seemed to be holding me back from my true calling - whatever that was. I was feeling like a wild animal caught in a trap, and I wanted to be free. I had dropped out of college almost two years before, and I had been working at two jobs back in my hometown of Lowell, Massachusetts. That summer, like the kid in INTO THE WILD, I planned to get away and I bought a bunch of camping equipment, quit my jobs, and hit the road. I first went up north to New York State to camp out with some members of the Neo-American Church in the region of Cranberry Lake. When I decided not to stay and started to trek back out to head off somewhere else, my glasses fell off of my head and into the muddy, swampy muck I had found myself in along the water's edge. It took me an hour to find them. I realized then and there that I was handicapped for this kind of wandering around with all this heavy weight on my shoulders. So, I hitchhiked back home, feeling just as lost and just as confused as ever. I continued to read hundreds of books to find an answer to my quest for authenticity and community, only to learn that I was just making the book stores richer. I tried yet again to break away that fall, and went back to western Massachusetts to see if I could find work out near my friends who were still going to school there. I could relate to the scene in INTO THE WILD where Christopher writes in his diary of all freedom seekers in the history of this country seeking it by going out "west." Whenever I would hear the lyrics to "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin, when Robert Plants sings: "There's a feeling I get when I look to the west and my spirit is crying for leaving," I would feel an urge inside me to head out west before I got too old to do it. Indeed, Christopher tries to inspire the old man who wanted to adopt him in the film (Hank Holbrook) to do the very same thing! After spending two weeks looking for work with no luck, and deciding not to move into a deserted cabin or tepee built out in the back woods of a local farmer's land because of the weather and being all alone, I left the generous hospitality of my good friend, Greg, and once more headed back home to find my way that way. Years later, after working an assortment of odd jobs over many years, I eventually ended up opening my own health food store in the summer of 1989 after deciding not to buy some land way up north in Maine or Vermont near the Canadian border - the only place I could afford land at the time. I concluded that if I bought the land, I would never be able to later do the health food store (one of the last business bastions left of hippiedom in corporate America), but if I opened the store and did not like it, I could always cash-in and then go off and buy some land somewhere out in the woods. I was always talking about "moving to Alaska," to live in freedom and stuff like that - so I can really relate to what Christopher McCandless (the real character and promising young man of the true story of INTO THE WILD) was going through. I felt like I was looking at myself re-living my past. He took the path I almost took. I turned back. He never got the chance to. God only knows where he would be today if he had lived to tell his story!
The characters of the series are reflections of the changing times.  The Upstairs family sees the pater familias, an aristocratic man of conservative principles, losing ground to the younger members of the family who are going through the emotional ravages of World War I.  They question everything and challenge many of the basic principles of social behavior, including the roles of women, political power and who should wield it, and the behavior of society during war.  Below stairs, too, there is disruption.  The younger generation questions the reasons for the demand for "gratitude" for their position of servitude and see the efforts of the butler to prevent their adopting new ideals as repressive and patronizing.  They question the need to ask the family they serve for permission to marry, to hold a war job, to question their additional work load without commensurate compensation.

7462	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Norman Maclean's memories are brought to life by the handsome Actor/Director and Academy Award winner Robert Redford, who captured the beauty of life in this poignant story, that is set in the backdrop of the breathtaking beautiful and scenic, State of Montana. The movie chronicles the lives of two son's whose father was a Christian Minister, but his boys were as diverse as can be, with the exception of one thing: FISHING! Not spiritual fishing as in the catching of souls for the Kingdom of God, but the physical fishing complete with hook, reel and rod and of course, the worm. The binding tie between father and son's and even between brother's, a family tradition that their father taught them, the intertwining of worms, fly catchers, fish and the art of fishing as it weaves through daily life. There's nothing like it. There's a certain art and style to fishing that one must practice always, in order to get the fish to voluntarily come, to your hook. Be it people or aquatic specimen. Then, you have to know how to hold the line, so that the fish will bite, even when it's not hungry. Norman (Craig Sheffer), the eldest son, writes his now acclaimed memoirs and the younger son as portrayed by Actor Brad Pitt, was a rambunctious risk-taker in his drinking and gambling as well as in his other pursuits (women & gambling), and preferred to live life..., on the edge. Except when it came to fishing. Then, he humbly followed in daddies and big brother's, fishing footstep's and even developed a style of his own. A memorable film with endearing family values and lessons in life, that are subtly gripping. It is yet another Robert Redford Film Classic which is to be treasured. You'll enjoy this one... Nina Kish

The film features a high number of action scenes and gunfire, music, mechanical sounds from the vehicles, jet engines flying, helicopter rotors spinning, it would seem that so much was put into the emphasis of having a wonderful soundtrack that "AIR FORCE ONE" truly delivers. And these are not short bursts of audio, there are plenty of scenes that utilize this explosive audio throughout the film.
Sinatra's voice in Pal Joey is very bad, his style of acting is no style at all, and his acting, even on its one note foundation,  is excruciating. He needed Gene Kelly and others to fill in when he made MGM musicals; he was never a star, and Rita Hayworth and Kim Novak eclipse him in every scene,proving that point.
Joan perhaps was the Messenger.  Joan perhaps was the Maid.  Joan could, certainly, be the Revenger, driven by her own desire to make revenge on the Brits for her sister death. We should remember that we are sometimes the servants (or the maids) of God, sometimes we are just driven by our own internal desires. God knows it certainly well.  One could not become a saint on earth while he/ she struggles, but only after his/ her death.  On the contrary, the Holy Mother Church would not turn away (as the Bishop vividly said in the movie) anyone who repent, who make confession to the Church.
The DVD extras won't disappoint either.  In addition to the Coming Attractions, the Special Features include cast and credit info, a production diary, a film magic sequence exhibiting storyboards and special effects, a Making Of, additional footage, and trailers and TV spots.

Moreover, we get to see or hear about, the double-crossing generals such as General Lee that allowed himself to be caught... and yet not so much about the merchants, farmers, and politicians that supported whichever side the wind happened to be blowing in, always in search of profit and personal gain, which another film, Benedict Arnold: A Question of Honor, portrays so well.

This DVD version of the film keeps some of the Special Edition extra scenes added after the film was originally released in 1977, and the result is the best of both worlds. The film clearly states that, although the unknown may be frightening at first, we may not really have anything to fear.
Midnight Express is powerfully directed by Alan Parker, who inspires searing performances from Brad Davis, John Hurt and Randy Quaid. It is an unforgettable look at one of the most dangerous prisons in the world, and one mans fight to get home.

2408	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This is such a great movie. Talk about guilty pleasure! It's one of those "feel-good" movies that makes you laugh any time you watch it and puts you in a happy mood.

They work it out... but don't we wish that the same thing could've happened with the real-life break up. This movie makes you feel like you are with the girls and makes you wish you really were!

A high school student named Charley Brewster claims that his new neighbor Jerry Dandridge is a vampire because of the blood shed and screaming happening every night.

Scorsese shows how the most disturbing people are the ones that you least expect. How someone that you trust will never hurt you, can be lead to put you into danger. Many people who saw this movie were horrifiied and diesgusted by the storyline. The movie has often been misunderstood as a violent and graphic, however, this film is a classic look at how far and disturbed a mind can be. The evil in the movie is to show the intense disturbance inside a man's head.

This movie in total had eight Academy Award nominations and one win for Best Cinematography.
  I have tried  to avoid discussing the plot, so as not to give away the plot events that should come as a surprise to you.  But suffice it to say that this is one of the first series when anything can happen within the framework of the series, when you could not count on everything ending happily by the end of the hour--or at all.
Some of the genetically perfect nonetheless come upon hard times.  Jude Law plays Jerome, who was born perfect, but was paralyzed in an accident.  His hair and blood and urine and saliva all remain genetically perfect.  Vincent is brought to Jerome by a shady character who pairs ambitious godchildren with impaired valids.  Carrying Jerome's urine strapped to his leg and his blood in a small cache concealed at his fingertip Vincent applies once again at Gattaca to become an astronaut.  His "interview" consists only of testing Jerome's perfect urine sample.  With DNA like that Jerome must be perfect...

By "those", of course, i mean films that are consistently funny throughout. And Grail is one of the most startingly original comedies of all time. It's hard to imagine that it was produced by a comedy group that merely a year before had put together a woefully unfunny final series of Monty Python's Flying Circus.

At the time it was making the theatrical rounds I worked at Sears Brand Central in their electronics division. We had a dedicated laser disc player that repeated every 30 minutes a selection of movie promos, plus Sears and other commercials. These discs were changed monthly.
I have seen this film several times now and I always enjoy it. Ethan Hawke as Vincent and Jude Law as Jerome are excellent. Their future world is aptly colourless and sterile. Expressions are always serious, clothing is austere. The eerie musical score and Hawkes narration make for a hypnotic atmosphere. Even in this restrained and supposedly predictable world though, human passions and mistakes are still a fact of life. This is a very well paced and often tense film. It raises many intriguing questions about the interaction between technology and human development. It is a very entertaining, yet cautionary tale.

The same is true about this series, but it doesn't mean there aren't a few stories left to tell.
All in all, this is well done and quite entertaining.

As a film, "Resident Evil" lacks a compelling storyline, deeply drawn characters and even well-choreographed action sequences. Instead, it focuses intensely on cinematography, production design, sound, and editing. This actually makes for a more interesting film, since nearly every frame is a carefully constructed movement within the scope of the film. Its goal, put simply, is horribleness. This movie, like other films such as "Final Destination" and the director's own "Event Horizon," elevates the terror of danger and death to an art form. How terrified can you be before you die? Getting shot in the back or killed in a car accident is tragic and even painful, but at least it's quick. The anticipation of a baroque and cruel death is milked dry in this film. Irony, too, is an important factor, as in the case of the businesswoman who squeezes halfway out of a stranded elevator only to find that the elevator's about to start moving again.
One of the few Columbia musicals that creates some of its own magic rather than trying to copy the RKO and MGM formula, Sinatra is so perfect as John O'Hara's heel that it is now impossible to imagine Kelly in the role. Not all of the Rodgers and Hart's songs are well served - some, such as I Didn't Know What Time It Was, are all but thrown away - but the score is a strong one (The Lady Is A Tramp, Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered, If They Asked Me I Could Write A Book ) and the film is one of the few successful Broadway-to-screen transfers of its day. Great dog too.

6670	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	I decided to give this movie a try despite the many negative reviews.  Boy was I sorry!  This film is a travesty so save your time (and your money if you're thinking of buying).  Milla Jovovich simply doesn't have the acting ability to pull this role off, plain and simple.  She portrays Joan as a wild-eyed nut case and somehow it's hard to generate much sympathy for her in the end.  Add to that the ridiculous dialogue (somehow I can't see 13th century people using the 21st century expression "whatever!") and you have a mess of a movie.  The sets and costumes are fairly good and the battle scenes reasonably realistic but that's about all I can say for it.
But what caught attention was that the film was based on a true story of Billy Hayes who was convicted for smuggling hash and sentenced to four years in a Turk prison where he and many people were tortured.  To make matters worse, he became a scapegoat to prevent foreigners from even thinking of smuggling drugs in the country by having his sentenced overturned and giving him a life sentence.
Various facets of the Santa Claus legend have come about (at least according to this particular screenplay) from strategies which Kris and his friends had to develop in order to triumph over the oppressive government.  In this version of the story, Santa Claus is a countercultural radical (also in keeping with the 1960's anti-authoritarian motif which original audiences were themselves living through). The future Santa Claus is a thoughtful young man who was raised by elves as one of their own. They did not even mind he was human!

Regardless of his reasons, the ending expertly shows Chaney's loyal and generous character. He may be a man of few words, but he certainly CARED about those connected to him, even if they were severely flawed addicts and con-artists. Heck, he even LOVED his cat!

1080	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Woody Allen is a great filmmaker who has made some comedies that are also deep character studies (Annie Hall, Manhattan, Hannah and Her Sisters, etc.). However, there's something to be said for films like What's Up, Tiger Lily, Play it Again, Sam and Sleeper -- films that are just plain funny. Probably the best of these is Take the Money and Run which spoofs the true crime documentaries of the time. Allen plays Virgil Starkwell, a hilariously inept career criminal whose life is one misadventure after another. Using "testimony" from people in Starkwell's life and cinema vierte style photography, Allen peppers the audience with hilarious sight gag after sight gag. Among my favorites:

- [The Umbrella CORP. has reopened the hive after capturing Matt (Eric Malbus) and Alice from their narrow escape from the hive upon sealing it to prevent further contamination. Both have been subjected to laboratory experiments with the T-Virus under the orders of men named Dr. Isaacs (Iain Glen - Tomb Raider), but only Alice is left partially unscathed through the entire incident. However, Alice's attempts to keep the T-virus from escaping the underground facility were foiled by the Umbrella CORP when they reopen the HIVE and released the T-Virus and the lickers along with it. Thus creating mass hysteria within the walls of Raccoon City whose citizens have fallen prey to the deadly virus and are locked inside the city when it reaches the city limits.

McDowell plays the part as frightened man who knows that vampires really don't exist and then discovers that they do.  He squeezes every bit of humor there is to be had out of the part and somehow gets everyone else up to his level.  Just when you think the film is in danger of failing in spite of Sarandon's coolness, McDowell demonstrates that there is still a lot of life in those old clich's.  Fright Night can't help being light weight, but it does manage to be successfully entertaining.  And you get some interesting special effects when people go vampy face or dissolve upon staking.
What an awful, awful film. This is the kind of movie that makes me look suspiciously at anyone who thought it was good. I wish there were a no-star option.

I saw this original there and got it on DVD for just $2 at a yard sale recently. The DVD's best 'special feature' is simply the movie, as there is nothing else. It has widescreen on one side and full-screen on the other, so that's good for those who have a preference. As well, this has subtitles in the most languages that I have on any DVD on I own. However, watching it with the English subtitles, it seemed that there were many points were there were no words for quite a while.

The expansive, minimalist, vaguely art deco settings glow golden in a kind of persistent late afternoon light. The perfect hairdos, impeccable suits and beautiful people blend perfectly into the shiny surroundings, as does Uma Thurman's peculiarly expressionless face. There are no lame attempts at futurism or obligatory CG effects to draw attention away from the story - a story that has an unabashedly philosophical portent, much like "1984" or "Brave new world".
I have watched this many times over the years. It never fails to impress me. It is both stark yet full of life. I think it is a quiet look on human nature and how the people can be so involved in the same event but be motivated so differently.

The whole deal even includes a semi-rigid mylar slipcover for the snap case! Unfortunately, the mylar apparently isn't very durable- I had to exchange this set twice because the slipcover got cracked in transit both times! It made for a frustrating demonstration of the hazards of purchasing things online. Fortunately, in this case the third time was indeed the charm. The slipcover also has a lenticular finish- you know, like those trading cards where there's two separate pictures on the same card. You look at it from one angle, there's one image. Then when you turn it a bit, another picture appears. Except in this case, there's no different images; it's just put on there to make the slipcover shiny & stuff. What a gyp!

8405	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	Yes, I know there are people that love this movie, but they clearly did not see the Broadway version or hear the music from the cd with Andrea McArdle. This is an action paced movie and it probably appeals to those who like that kind of stuff, but for those of us who know something about music and are familiar with the original know that this is inferior. Read the bad reviews of this movie and that is what I think. Should have not left out some of the songs, should have not taken place 4th of July. I love Carol Burnett and she does do a good job in this, but a little too drunk. I think the writers overdid it. Don't rememberher being so much in the play. I wrote a review of the Disney version and it the Disney version is better than this mess, but not as good as the Broadway Version with Andrea McArdle. I haven't seen it, but I was in a local production with the Broadway version. They should have made Bernadette Peters a ditsy blonde in this, but she comes off too smart. They kept her ditsy in the Disney Version. I will have to say that the Disney Version should have not had a black love interest for Daddy Warbucks. I'm not trying to be racist but it just doesn't make sense for the Depression era to have a mixed relationship.  They should have gotten Rebecca Luker(Miriam the Librarian on Broadway and a friend of mine. She would have been perfect for Grace. Not too impressed with Ann Reinking in this version as Grace. At least Audra McDonald in the Disney version can sing the way it should be. Ann is more of a dancer. If you have never seen the Broadway version or heard the original or seen the Disney version you might like this, but it is inferior to the original. So save your money and buy the Disney version and buy the Andrea McArdle version on cd. Too bad that version is not on tape.

There are no special features of note either.  This film is certainly one of the funniest and most enjoyable that I've ever seen but my advice is to wait for the Blu-ray version that significantly restores the picture quality as well as adds good special features and has good audio options such as at a minimum a Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround option to do justice to your home theatre system.

The plot is straightfoward: Woody Allen plays a chronically challenged underachiever(as always) with a long-suffering girlfriend/spouse.  He finally holds up a bank and does it in the way only Woody could.  The sight gags, blackout sketches, and double-entendre(inside jokes) are relentless and great.  Whatever you see that's inventive and reminds you of something else, remember that it was invented here, probably.


This movie in my opinion actually has a chance to be great... a slim chance. Under the direction of rookie filmmaker Alexander Witt, we may be in for a rough ride. Paul Anderson has returned for the script, goodie :-(, and Mila is back as Alice. The plus side to this movie is that it contains characters from the RE series including Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliveria. But most of all, the main reason this movie looks remotely good, it that Nemesis will finally make an appearance. The greatest, scariest, toughest bad guy to ever appear in a video game will be on the screen.

7597	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I absolutely LOVE this movie, and I am also a fan of Faye Dunaway, who played the title character in this film. Her character (Laura Mars) is a fashion freelance photographer who has a "psychic" ability to see murders taking place from her mind even though she is never at those happenings in person, and whose photographic work is controversial. Tommy Lee Jones, who played Laura's police bodyguard (John Neville), was great as well. It is really shocking to also see a slight trace of nudity in it. Well, it's not considered a pornographic movie because there is not enough nudity in it. It's really amazing to see Faye using a camera in this movie (that's why her character is a photographer). This DVD is excellent. When you put this into your DVD player, you have the option of watching the movie in either widescreen or full screen (I prefer widescreen mostly; but then again, it doesn't hurt to see it in full screen once in a while). You also have the option of seeing the movie with Irvin Kershner's directorial commentary. He did a great job on his commentary, because it's almost like you're watching the movie with him. There is also a featurette called "Visions", which describes the making of the movie. And, there is also a photo gallery (with interesting photos) with the DVD producer describing how some of the things differ from the script and the finalized movie. Barbra Streisand had declined to play the title character in this movie, but did agree to sing the title theme from the movie, "Prisoner". Even though Barbra declined to star in the film, I strongly believe that she did a great job singing the "Prisoner" theme. The other music heard in the film is wonderful as well, with some well known disco grooves and some incidental instrumental music. I have the soundtrack album of this movie on LP, and I think it is so appalling that it has not become available on CD. I hope Columbia/Sony Music can get it issued sometime. Great movie....see it!!

The Monty Python troupe, led by the creative talents of Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones, incorporated John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle and Graham Chapman as King Arthur, the dominant role in the film.

Logic bits the dust, too, on more than one occasion.  I did a paper once for symbolic logic which I was told ten years later was still being passed about because I had dared to use something so unconventional as this Monty Python movie in the references (I couldn't see why that wouldn't be much more common, and indeed, hope it is today--I use 'Life of Brian' in homilies, so why not this film in logic?).
Classic sci-fi sun burn.

6798	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	This one should have been "The Night of the Living Dead" of the new millenium. Instead, we get a Matrix-like movie with amateurish directing, an incredibly irritating techno soundtrack and a mistalented cast. Ironically, Paul W.S. Anderson was also the director of 1995's "Mortal Kombat" ; perhaps the ONLY good videogame turned movie in cinema history. The success of this film was due to the fact that it gave the videogame fans what they wished, that is action and plenty of it. Unfortunately, Anderson probably forgot that "Resident Evil" is a horror videogame, NOT an action one. We wanted endless scares, suspense, a creepie environment. We deeply wished to see the dark atmosphere present in the game, but we get nothing of this. All we get is a group of soldiers spending nearly all of the movie wandering through labarotory rooms and shooting bullets which seem never-ending.

Besides Eugenics, I think another theme of this movie is that your genes don't have to determine your fate.
The greatness of this DVD, exlucding the movie, is in its Extras.  The extras are enough to make a Monty Python fan weep and a worth the money purchas for the consumer.
I was browsing through my netflix and see this movie and saw 2 stars-2 1/2 stars when I said you know I should give it a try, Dustin Hoffman is in it and it's about Joan Of Arc,I am Catholic and I like movies like that. So I see the movie and it is looking good except the graphic parts and half-way It starts to sink that what the director Luc Besson intended is his biased view of events. I then google and it confirmed my suspicions, In LEFTIST Rag "Le Monde" He is as quoted as saying Joan Of Arc Should have followed the commandments if she is a true Christian ,Thou Shalt Not Kill"and quote. Although he fails to realize it's Thou Shalt not Commit Murder. In fact there is such a thing as a Just War and Self Defense is covered as well. Murder is a different story,So you get another Liberal Trying to rewrite history and make Joan Of Arc look crazy. The French Adore Joan Of Arc and for Good Reason,she wasn't crazy. As for the Acting, I thought John Malkovich was great, and The Battle Scenes are good even if they are not ACCURATE by a longshot,and certainly you see why The English and French hate each other(The English Protestant wackjobs who would later rather Follow Henry and his Hideous Girl and Become Anglican-a Mutated Form of Catholicism),this movie is entertainment not historical,I will look elsewhere for A Joan Of Arc movie perhaps it will not be such a Special Effects Bonaza but I want to see a less biased movie.


I have been watching The Mechanic at present and this will be my next stop for more than the first time..
Lastly the story is weaved in a very interesting and followable way.  It's an easy watch.  (In my opinion).  Very entertaining with followable but not boringly so plot.  It is a moving adventure of growing up in that time period and geographical region.  That is very 'romantic' or a 'utopian' society for me.  Not that it's was perfect, but it seems more simple and pure of truth and honesty to me.  (While this may not be true just my romanticize he the time period and region).  It at least makes me feel good to watch it for at least entettainments sake and to day dream of a time more simple and without the outrageous mess technology has made our workd.
If you have never owned "Easy Rider", this film deserves to be in your collection.  This is one of those rare films that manages to capture American culture at that time.  This film embodies the term "sex, drugs and rock n' roll" and once you are done with the film, "Easy Rider: Shaking the Cage", the documentary will definitely impress you.
James Kidnie as the Hessian Colonel Rall is the perfect foil to Washington.  As the attack rages, he meticulously dresses himself and then panics at the American onslaught, hardly believing his eyes.  Director Harmon's pacing is plodding at times, but the crossing itself is full of suspense, the battle scenes more than passably exciting.  The cinematography and supporting cast are adequate. But the star of this film is Daniels. In sum, a fine A&E production well worth seeing.

 Yes, it's extremely silly. But what makes Grail, and the later Monty Python's Life of Brian, stand the test of time more so than the TV series and the film Monty Python's Meaning of Life is that the jokes are so accessible. They are not obscure or pretentious, they are just plain funny.
And it's beautifully filmed. Everything is full of clean lines and cold light, with the occasional moment of symbolism -- note that the apartment that Eugene and Vincent share is centered around a giant DNA-style spiral staircase.
Either way, this movie is a dazzler on Blu-Ray. Columbia did a phenomenal job restoring "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" in its best condition. The picture quality is superb and the audio is dazzling, particularly on the surround sound speakers. Some reviewers complained about the existence of grain, but this movie was shot on celluloid, not digital photography, so, of course, the grain is inevitable. Even so, it shouldn't distract from the incredible experience you'll have while watching this terrific movie on Blu-Ray and with a big screen TV. When the alien mothership lands on the Devil's Tower in the movie's climax, you'll feel the experience like no other in the previous VHS and DVD versions.

I binged on the Resident Evil films this weekend and while the series is strong this one is fairly weak.  It marks a transition from an older style with practical special effects and conventional film making to the more stylized films that followed.  And the result is, even though this film is from 2004, it often feels like a low-middle budget films from the 80s.  The zombies are just extras with dirt smeared on them walking slowly.  The final monster looks and moves like a guy in a rubber suit.  The secondary characters are one dimensional 'jive talking black dude', 'tough chick' etc.

The bass, especially in the scene with Dreyfuss in the truck in the beginning, is truly spectacular. The sequence at the end behind Devil's Tower is a feast for the ear.

They're nicely paired in one regard, which is that they're both faux sci-fi pieces about bad guys playing on the credibility of others with elaborate frauds.  "See-Through Man" is too see-through plot to maintain the suspension of disbelief, where "Escape Through Time" is far more cleverly done.  "See-Through" is largely an intentional comedy, which makes matters worse, since it's painfully unfunny  -  it's idea of humor is a comic-opera Russian idiot, who, ironically enough, is the same Russian idiot used in one of the previous season's equally spectacularly unfunny scripts.  What it does have is Diana Rigg charming her way nicely through the mess that is "See-Through Man's" script.

He is briefly involved in a love affair with the lovely Lucy, Jill Ireland - Bronson's real-life wife.  This goes nowhere, Lucy wants stability, but Speed is strong and knows one gets hurt in life by showing feelings and forming relationships, even with a cat. So, it is back to a final gut-wrenching fight to show if Chaney is really as good as he thinks.

5103	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	"Taxi Driver" is certainly one of the finest films in the American tradition; it stands out among films from a very strong decade. It's certainly one of Scorcese's best, and one of his earliest mature works- if "Mean Streets" works as a transitional stand-alone film between his early, genre pictures and his later, more varied works, "Taxi Driver" is only his second film of the period. It is a directoral masterwork; each decision that Scorcese made here was the right one. It's also one of the clearer examples of the extent to which the American 70s were in a thrall to the films of the Nouvelle Vague. But I digress. The movie has one clear thematic problem, and it's Shrader's. Why does Bickle take Betsy to a porno? If he idealizes her (and he does) he should separate her from the mass by which he is clearly disgusted. Thus, he should wish to protect her from the things he associates with the mass- namely pornography and prostitution. Bickle is clearly torn between including himself in the mass he envisions as damned and separating himself from them; he sees Betsy as a means of saving himself. He only goes to porn theatres to ritualistically purge himself of the tendencies which align him with the mass; Betsy is supposed to take him out of it altogether. Yet, he takes her to a porno. This doesn't make much sense and it's the only reason "Taxi Driver" isn't as good as "Raging Bull," "Goodfellas," and "Mean Streets." This doesn't mean that "Taxi Driver" isn't a great or important film. It's outstanding, and this new edition is much-needed.

Unfortunately the digital transfer (both for DVD and for Blu-ray) was not entirely successful.  Excessive graininess in some of the scenes and particularly disappointing is some blurriness / halos around the special effects (all three problems for the landing of the mothership).  The UFOs in the original film actually enjoyed some degree of 'photo-realism;' they did *not* just appear as 'moving neon lights,' each a 'red whoosh' with no visible object (i.e., nothing reflecting ambient light), though too often in the transfer they appear to be just that.  Having viewed the DVD shortly after seeing the original again as it made a one-time showing in a local theater (not too many years back), which was still using standard film projectors, and I immediately noticed the difference.  Comparing CE3K's preservation, to the restored version of the original Star Wars, is just plain sad.  (I've heard rumors that Trumbull actually filmed the original effects for CE3K in 65mm; in any event, to my eye, the digital transfer is noticeably poorer than the 35mm.)  Perhaps it can be said that even Chaplin film restorations have now enjoyed better final results; it can be hoped that one day CE3K will enjoy a better transfer.
5071	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	Other reviewers compared this movie with Rushmore and Kevin Smith's work (Clerks, Chasing Amy, Dogma, etc). Those are some of my favorite movies so I figured I would like this one as well. I didn't, and it took me a while to figure out why. They're all quirky, all dialog heavy, all off-beat. So what's wrong with Bottle Rocket? In the other movies, the main characters are more intelligent than everybody else. That is not the case in Bottle Rocket. All the main characters are unbelievably boneheaded. I had high hopes, and just couldn't get myself to care about the characters. In a movie like this, if you don't care about the characters, there's nothing left. Lots of people loved it. Maybe you will too. I couldn't get into it.
Overall, though, this is perhaps the Python troupe's best effort.  The writing is fresh and lives up to what Monty Python was doing on television (to a degree), and the end result is something you will want to watch again and again, but put a few months in between viewings.
There are also some parts of the film that just makes one feel a bit queasy. Burnett plays her scenes to perfection. Perhaps she plays them a little too perfectly! Ms. Hannigan is a low-life drunk, to be sure, but wow! Burnett gave the character a bizarre likability and attractive personality; nonetheless, I always found myself eager for her scenes to be over, even when I was a kid. She's the epitome of depression, and her scenes--as well as those of the post-Annie orphanage--are always big let-downs. They are stark reminders that Annie's fantasy is just that: a fantasy. The ending doesn't really make up for it, either. What could (and should) be a happy joyride all the way through is tainted with this sick reminder that this is just a movie. Now, I don't expect all of my entertainment to be happy, but in a movie like this, the effect is jarring, and the only word I can use to describe it is "bipolar." "I'm a happy wish-fulfilling movie where everyone's dreams come true and every single person in the universe can jump into song and dance at any moment! OH NO, WAIT! I'm reality now!

THE STORY: U.S. government develops a highly-specialized prototype helicopter gunship, nick-named Blue Thunder. The copter sports impressive firepower, is heavily armored and loaded to the rotors with all manner of high-tech, stealthy surveillance gizmos. It is assigned to Los Angeles police department's Astro Division to test its real-world capabilities, in anticipation of using it to possibly quell unrest & potential trouble during the upcoming 1984 Summer Olympics. Loner pilot Frank Murphy (Roy Scheider) draws the short straw and together with his newly-assigned partner Richard Lymangood, (a young, gangly Daniel Stern), the duo takes to the skies. Soon afterward, Murphy uncovers a sinister plot by a handful of corrupt government officials within the Blue Thunder program to turn the super-duper chopper into an unchallenged master of the not-so-friendly skies. When these creeps discover that Murphy knows, (a terrific "Oh, crap!" moment), he suddenly becomes Target Number One.

This movie has been quoted to death and picked apart as much or more then any film in the last quarter century.  There is good reason.  More then anything this movie is a study in madness and sanity.  We all  feel as Travis does sometimes.  The world has gone to hell and a rain  should come and wash away all the garbage off the street, all of it.  Of  course we, as sane people, realise this is wrong thinking and get over it.  Travis does not.  Travis Bickle is an  unbalanced person who just wants to  be a normal person, like anyone else.  He tries this.  He gets a job  driving a cab becouse he can't sleep nights "there's porno theaters  for that" the cab manager tells him.  And indeed there are.  But  Travis has no interest in sex, he just goes into the pornos becouse that's  were other people go, he wants to be like other people.  Had he lived in a  small town instead of New York, he may just as well have followed the heard  into church or to the mall.  his neighborhood has no churches  so he goes  to see dirty movies.  Travis wouldn't know a dirty movie from a pop-tart.  This is made painfully clear when he asks a girl out on a date.  Bickle is  sitting in his cab whe "she" walks by.  Cyble Shepard.  "she" is wearing a white dress, she was like an angle in this  filthy mass, "they must not touch her".  Travis actually  convinces this high class beauty to go to the movies with him.  You can  guess what happens next.  He takes her to the only movies he knows about.  Needless to say, Betsy (shepards character) is not a fan of "Somethime  Sweet Susan" and "Swedish Marrage Manual"  She storms off  and refuses his calls.  Travis didn't mean any harm.  He can not understand  why his genuine efforts to fit in don't work.  He becomes angry and self  absorbed.  He meets a 12 year old prostitute and after  his ill fated date  with Betsy goed to see her.  Harvey Kietel is as good as he has ever been  as the pimp who tells Travis about the little girl he is going to see.  I  won't quote him here as I am sure the good folks at Amason would not  appreciate it, but he gives a graphic detailed discription of all the  sexual things Travis can do with this 12 and a half year old girl.  Travis  had no intentions of doing anything with this child.  He talks to her and  says "you're a young girl you should be in school"  What a nut.  Any sane person can see that she (Iris) is a whore and can only be a whore.  No one in this film, none of the "sane" emotionally stable,  normal people do anything to help or are even upset at this arrangement ( a  pimp and a 12 year old girl) they either buy her services or ignore the  situation.  Bickle takes Iris (Jodie Fosters 12 year old hooker character)  to breakfast and tells her she should not be selling herself on the street  for a bunch of pimps and lowlifes.  In a very moving performance, Jodie  Fosters character looks at him like he is form outer space "I don't  know who's wierder, you or me"  She really can't understand that  someone cares about her and that what she is doing is wrong.  The only  person in the world that says what is right, that 12 year old girls don't  belong ont he streets whoring, is a raving nut.  Who are the crazys and who  are the sane? Travis eventually loses control and goes on a shooting spree.  He kills off a bunch of people the police don't like anyway so he is a  hero.  Some problems can only be solved by a crazy, lonely white guy with a  pistol.  "You talkin' to me?  I don't see nobody else here".  This is the first time Jodie Foster was recognised as a great actress, she  was nominated for best supporting actress and deservedly so.  Martin  Scorsese has done films as good as this, but never better.  I can't  recomend in enough. "Lost Johnny"

This film was the first pairing of Richard Gere and Kim Basinger together and to it's credit it is better than there second film, Final Analysis.  However there really isn't much going on here.  The plot was as predictable as traffic at five o'clock.  Neither Gere nor Basinger is very good which is Richard Pearce's(the director) fault because they fall in and out of their accents.  I have to say though there is something about Richard Gere that even in his weaker films, like this one, he is still fun to watch.  The same can be said for Basinger who is always delightful on the eyes even when she is hard on the ears.

A snooty bumbling reporter, Piers Cuthbertson-Smyth (Alan Cumming) filming a documentary on the "real" Spice Girls. He wanders about with his moronic crew, bumping into things and falling over a lot.
Bad editing, some silly dialogue, unanswered questions and cheesy lines do stop the movie from being great. There is also not enough depth to the film and damn, what was the final scene all about?

Other than that, It was excellent and well worth your time.
8326	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	I was so excited to see a "Special Anniversary Edition" for Annie.  I was sure it would be widescreen anamorphic.  But, alas, we Americans are given another "pan and scan" version of a "scope" movie.  Why?  It seems someone, somewhere, (and there seems to be a lot of "someone's") is hoping to kill the DVD and Blu-ray industry and thus worsen our economy.  (I include Blu-ray because we keep getting so many B movies released while the "Classics" are held back or offered first to other countries.)  Why are we getting such pittyful releases?  You now have to go to Australia or England to get the "goods".  Anyone in the "know" know why?  (This reviews the format not the movie itself.)

6474	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	This is the sequel to 2002 first Resident Evil, which is based on the popular video game series. The movie starts right where the first one left off and you don't have to worry about them messing up any of the plot points because there is no plot to either movie. Instead of plot, you have Jovovich and a few other people running around shooting, stabbing, punching, exploding and basically killing every kind of zombie that happens to cross their path. It is nothing but non-stop action and explosions the perfect thing to watch if you are trying to fall asleep. The zombies spread their plague by biting their victims which makes you wonder why Jovovich and the other women in the movie run around in shorts and tank tops. You could ask, but remember there is no plot so just let it go. Unlike King Arthur, where I was told no one wants to watch a movie with ugly people in it, Resident Evil is filled with ugly people. Really ugly people. It tanked at the box office so therefore, the ugly people rule must be right. The ending leaves the movie wide open for a third installment and I know everyone will be holding their breath until number three hits the big screen.

Enter "A River Runs Through It" directed by Robert Redford.  This film is a quiet character study that has  brilliance in the acting and directing.  This is so apparent that you'll find your emotions welling up in you as you watch it.  It is such a delicately made film that you'll need to watch it multiple times to understand that the director and actors aren't going to spell out what you should be feeling.  They aren't going to speak every emotion they're having - you're going to have to surmise those for yourself.  This is so NOT like the films Hollywood makes today.  It's a subtle, beautiful film.
This is emmotional true story. I don't like this movie for many reasons one is almost have the movie is spoken in the turkish natoinal language. This has too many graphic seens that I don't care for and many people won't like. I was frequntly looking at how much time was left in the movie and you should never be doing that when your wacthing a movie. I don't like this for another reason becausethe story is horribal even though it is true. I just don't like to see Americans being beaten in a turkish prison. Maybe you would like to rent this movie and see what I'm talking about but this is definitly not a movie to buy.
The Rodgers and Hart score is great, but the numbers are not as many as you might hope.  Still there's "My Funny Valentine," the aforementioned "Bewitched...," and, the highlight, Sinatra's definitive take "The Lady Is a Tramp."  Well, worth 111 minutes of your time.

They fall in love with her and try to help her find her real parents who we find out are really dead.

6184	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	In "Resident Evil:  Apocalypse," Milla Jovovitch once again stars as the renegade security agent from the Umbrella Corporation.  This time around, we know her name - Alice.  In "Apocalypse," the deadly T-virus has escaped from the underground laboratory known as the Hive and threatens to destroy an entire metropolis, Raccoon City.  Alice has been injected with the T-virus and has become a mutated super hero.  She leads a handful of survivors in search of a scientist's lost daughter.  The scientist has promised to airlift them to safety before a nuclear bomb destroys Raccoon City.  Like the original "Resident Evil," this sequel is a science fiction/horror hybrid with non-stop action.  Instead of an underground lab, an entire city has been infected with the T-virus.  There are a thousand more zombies, killer dobermans, and hideoulsy mutated creatures that must be fought by a gorgeous cast of young actors/actresses.  A powerful rock-n-roll score accentuates the numerous action sequences.  While watching this movie, Euro horror fans will think of Lamberto Bava's "Demons" and "Demons 2" in which everyone is turning into hideous demons in lieu of zombies.  Favorite scene in "Apocalypse:"  When Alice crashes her motorcycle through a church's stained glass windown and battles the mutated creatures.  A very strong sequel that rivals the original, "Apocalypse" is an apocalyptic disaster movie.  If you own the original, you must own "Apocalypse."
The rest, really, should be for you to encounter; Bill Hurt (Max) in all his decadent English goodness: Norbert Weisser (Erich) as the prison confidant; the Great Peter Jeffrey as Ahmet, the Really Bad Machine; and of course, the implacable, sadistic Paul Smith as prison Major Domo Hamidou, who has a fat kid and is a total monster.

He overcomes his demons in a good cause to save the public from sick government corruption which intends to use the advanced helicopter for crowd control and armed insurrection. The government agents are deliberately stirring up trouble in the streets just to create an opportunity to show off the new helicopter's firepower on innocent civilians. This movie has air battles, police chases, and non stop action to the end. Malcolm Mcdowell is wonderfully brilliant as the main opposition and Warren Oats delivers his usual gritty performance reminiscent of "Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia". The dispatcher voice in the movie is Shaaron Claridge who also was the dispatcher voice in "Adam-12" A blockbuster from long ago .

I wasn't blown away by this when I saw it at the theater(high expectations being huge fan of the Video Games) but I find myself going back and watching this time and time again.

In addition, it'll make your heart pound hard and race with gripping fear and your eyes will not believe the horrors that this 20 year old man suffered, in a Turkish prison for attempting to smuggle drugs out of that country. Unimaginable sadism, violence, starvation, corruption, deliberate and prolonged cruelty, repeated psychological torture and brutality personified, were consistently for 5 years, performed upon this undeserving man. You will be mute with shock and enraged at even the thought that in the 20th century, an  American citizen, a young tourist was subjected to such unwarranted creative savagery by the archaic, Turkish prison system. So much so, that upon his ingenious escape, the American government stepped in. And in valiant defense of one of it's own and in the name of human rights, exposed and forced the Turkish government to treat Americans, others from around the world and even their own who were incarcerated, with humanitarian rights and human dignity. This man exposed a brutal, foreign, dehumanizing penal system which the Turkish government sanctioned and practiced daily. Within the unsanitary, uninhabitable, jail cells of which this young man found himself a part, of. Having almost lost his sanity..., his only thread of hanging on to survival was a visit from his father, his girlfriend, an attorney and the hope of freedom. His daring escape made history and you will undoubtedly be moved to cheering with tears running down your face at this man's courageous battle for freedom and the way that he finally, obtained it. His tenacity in not giving up was not only commendable but absolutely, inspiring. This film is a magnificent portrayal of 'liberty lost and liberty found', as one man breaks through the choke hold of tyranny and the shackles of unwarranted servitude, to obtain the prize of FREEDOM!

4186	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Surprisingly good film despite some of the reviews it got.  Michelle Pfeiffer plays distraught mother Bethy Cappadora whose three year old son Ben goes missing during her High School reunion.  If you are looking for an exciting film with lots of action then don't watch this.  "The Deep End of the Ocean" is an intelligent film about a family coming to terms with the loss of their child and then his miraculous recovery nine years later.  Pfeiffer is excellent in her role as mother and photographer who must come to terms with her guilt of turning her back for just a moment and loosing sight of her small son.  Treat Williams gives a credible performance as her bewildered husband and Jonathan Jackson who plays Vincent, the Cappadora's oldest son at 16, is quietly believeable as a boy with a troubled conscience.  Add to this the talents of Whoopi Goldberg as a gay black Police Woman assigned to the case and you have a solid film that is both compelling and watchable.  I enjoyed "Deep End of the Ocean" because of its intelligence and the compassionate way it treated a very sensitive subject.  Not a tear jerker per se but it will give you a lump in your throat at times.  Well worth watching if you want something that won't fighten you to death or leave you with heart palpitations.
Might never be topped as a believable and realistic sci-fi movie.
Average suburban teen Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale) accidentally discovers that his new neighbor is an evil vampire. The vampire is not particularly discrete, not bothering to pull the window shades and disposing of a victim in a plastic garbage bag. Charley unwisely goes public with his accusations. This tips off the vampire that his teenage neighbor may be a threat. But he is still safe because nobody believes vampires are real.

I wanted blood, but there was barely ANY, what were they thinking? Resident Evil is all about the blood 'n the zombies, which mind you, not EVEN ONE get's it's head blown off, which is how you kill them idiots! No wonder Alice's team suffered so much! The most redeeming, interesting part of the movie is the way it tries to give suspense and surprise, it fails on some levels to say the least but it is the best feature.
The reason I'm particularly fond of this one is its references to classic movies, including Hamlet, in a fab b&w scene where Arnold as a grungy machine gun packing Dane says, "To be or not to be" and lights a bomb off his stogie.

Also showing up on the scene are Amanda Bearse as the present-day Mina and Stephen Geoffreys as Evil Ed, who is an absolute riot in the film. This vampire classic is not only for me, the best vampire film, but perhaps the best horror film. This movie is one of the great definitions of entertainment. There's some great special effects in the film including a very freaky Evil Ed-wolf and a menacing Jerry Dandridge-bat. Tom Holland, a master of horror who's also directed Child's Play, and written such creepy-pleasers as The Beast Within and Psycho II has given this film a great foggy atmosphere and vibe-full colors, and a great 2:35.1 widescreen aspect ratio that is an incredible delight.

I can only say that the Wyoming tower (known by Native American cultures as 'Bear Lodge' and a traditional place for religious retreat), for the final scenes, was an inspired choice by Spielberg.  Situated in a lush prairie and part of the Black Hills, it is evidently the only volcanic structure in the North American plains (protruding through layers of exposed sedimentary rocks dating back to the Triassic age) and effectively symbolizes as well as gives a visceral sense of something which reaches deep into the earth.  Spielberg has said he wanted to underscore the earthly location of the story; he succeeded beautifully.  Add to that even its 'western name' mentioned in the film--insofar as it only underscores a tower which goes down instead of up--or rather, given that the mothership arrives upside down before turning right side up to land: poetry in motion.  The earthly witnesses of the mothership, looking up, are thus shown looking 'down' onto city skyscrapers made by aliens who, wherever they are from, have long looked towards the earth simply when looking up towards their sky.  (Of course, we need not appeal to extraterrestrials, to accommodate these differences in perspective.)  Add to that the fact that it is a national monument which most people, including most Americans, have never seen: impeccable.

Taxi Driver is more than a  little rough around the edges, although it is leaps and bounds better than  Mean Streets.  The film has an urban feel and Scorcese truly captures the  essence of the city through magnificent cinematography.  However, De Niro  is a master at grasping the audiences attention and not letting go.  You  never really know what Bickel is going to do next, he is a loose cannon in  a dangerous urban jungle.  Travis Bickel is every American's nightmare and  wet dream rolled up into one.  This movie requires repeated viewing, but I  will say this, Taxi Driver has one of the most memorable endings that you  will ever witness.  Happy Viewing!  P.S. This movie has warped my fragile  little mind!
The only criticism I have is the time spent  on the love interest.  It seemed contrived and added as filler.  I suspect  the short version is better because it probably severly underplayed or  didn't include the love interest at all.  But that is really a minor flaw.  James Brooks had a hand in the making of this film and the result is  something to be proud of.

289	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I loved this film when it was on tv when I was in High School; seeing it on DVD was an enjoyable experience, but I found an annoying problem in continuity: Winkler's character seems to be growing up in the 1890s, which is fine, but at one point we see him at a WWI War Bond Rally, and he seems to be in his early-thirties.  Yet just fifteen years later, during the Great Depression, he's a very old man.  So what's the deal?  It seems as if the film's producers just happened to have a few WWI-era cars and costumes and posters hanging around, so they decided to twist time around to fit the props.  It doesn't make a whole lot of sense for Winkler's character to be a young boy in what seems to be the early-Industrial Revolution, then a young man during WWI, then a very old man during the Depression.  Very odd.
3166	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I can recall the first time I saw this film.  Since I was only 6 years old in 1969 I didn't see it on it's original theatrical release.  I saw it on commercial television circa 1980 in the days before video stores and cable TV.  The movie was slotted in a two hour block and they started the film at the "Born to be Wild" opening credits segment.  When I saw it on video a few years later I was shocked that Fonda and Hopper made a drug deal prior to their trek to Mardi Gras.  There were other excisions, usually relating to drug use.  Why is this an important film?  Our heroes(?) aren't exactly noble individuals.  There is no real discernible plot.  The direction is haphazard at best(legend has it that director Dennis Hopper was probably stoned to the gills while making this film).  Well, this holds up as a picture of America at a time when social mores were changing.  The cinematography is beautiful.  Most impotantly, this film heralded the entrance of a new force in films, Jack Nicholson.  When Jack comes into the picture as the alcoholic ACLU lawyer the screen just lights up and maintains this aura in every scene he's in.  The scene where he smokes pot and explains the Venutian plot is classic.  The energy of this film deflates once he departs from the film.  I wonder though what relevance this picture has to a more youthful audience whose reference point to Jack is "The Joker".  To a younger audience Vietnam and the civil rights movement are things that may or may not have been taught in civics class.  I recommend watching this DVD (If you've seen it before) with Hopper's commentary on because it's a good one.  And the documentary on the disc isn't bad either.

But Washington took a huge risk, and in his own quiet and determined way, made a decision that changed the course of history.  The scenes of the actual crossing were done in fog and shadow, as the boats moved towards the opposite shore.  But there were no scenes that looked like the famous painting with Washington standing in the front of the boat.  In this film, Washington was sitting throughout. Naturally, this made me re-think my own historical perceptions.

I won't summarize the plot to you here since there are plenty of reviews and websites that can do it for you better than I can.  Rather I'll say it is among an exclusive club of intelligent sci-fi movies that make you think and don't get bogged down in their 'future-ness'.  There isn't any special lingo to learn or technology to understand to appreciate and enjoy this movie.  That makes it readily approachable by even those who are typically put off by the genre and an even more special treat to those who like sci-fi.

So when we look back and try to find the last good patch of Harrison Ford's once invincible streak, we come up with a thump against this indisputable box office sensation, which rules the theaters world wide for a brief spell in 97.  The critics thought it piffle, but it answered a need in the US public, maybe to see a strong president defying the Russians one last time.  Reactionary?  No two moviegoers will read its plot the same way, but there are certainly cimilarities to the FOX TV hit "24," which it foreshadowed in so many ways, even down to the canny use of amiably sinister Xander Berkeley, the husband in SAFE.  And of course the death defying traumas that occur to Air Force One in both programs.

So what else is to say about a movie featuring a basic story that has been told many times before?
The bonus features add amusing little bits to the film.  One of the important points noted in the mini-documentary on sites, was the the whole film was budgeted for 150,000 Pounds-Sterling; in the end they went horrendously over budget and spent 200,000 Pounds.  Imagine making ANY film for that little money nowadays.  Then imagine making it as brilliant as this.
Something pretty disappointing about the DVD is the movie commentary. It features Milla Javovich, Michelle Rodriguez, Producer Jeremy Bolt, and Paul Anderson. It's disappointing because everytime the two filmmakers start to discuss something interesting in the movie, Milla comes in and interjects "nobody cares about that" or "that's not very interesting" and goes into some rambling that has nothing to do with the film. In fact, at the beginning, it seems as if Milla doesn't even know what a commentary is: "you mean we're going to comment on the whole movie?" She comes across as an immature valley girl. You can always just never listen to it.

Spanning well over a decade, Thames television produced over 40 episodes of the crusty old barrister's tales, penned both for book and screen by John Mortimer, who used to take delight in highlighting silliness in judicial judgements by putting those decisions into the guise of his own judges, perhaps most especially judge Bullingham.

I have only two negative comments to make on the movie.  First, I think they overdid it on Steve Martin's nose.  It is impossible to imagine that anyone with a nose that long would not have had surgery on it, and there isn't any believable medical reason to believe the surgery couldn't be performed.  Second, the musical soundtrack really sounds dated.  The Kenny G. sound today just hasn't stood the test of time, so that the soundtrack reminds one more of elevator music or at best "Lite FM" than anything.

Many things make this series great and the stories come first. The Bellamy family and their servants are living in tumultuous times, the first thirty years or so of the 20th Century. The 1st World War, "the war to end all wars," was a defining moment in time for the English, the Bellamy family, and their servants. The war changed everyone and everything forever and this series does justice to the horror of that terrible event and its impact on the lives of the English people.
So I looked this morning and discovered - lo and behold! - that the complete series will be released in May.

But the five stars are for the movie itself, and I would have given it ten stars if it were permitted.

There are a lot of neat graphical touches throughout the film.  Alice's bullets have little Umbrella Corp. icons on them.  The helicopters are painted with the Umbrella Corp. logo.  And the end of the film (and subsequent cover-up of the nuclear blast) is entertaining in the same way that the rise of a zombie outbreak was entertaining in Shaun of the Dead.  Which is to say it's awful, but you enjoy it anyway.

All in all this is a superbly crafted film by Scorsese and should definately be on the film junkie's shelf. But, this won't be for everyone's taste, people will find it too disturbing, violent and dark.

I hadn't seen Santa Claus is coming to Town for over twenty years so I checked it out the other day. Amazingly it still holds up which is mostly due to the gravitas voices of Fred Astaire and Mickey Rooney. What's kind of funny is that all the songs came back to me while I was watching them. The melodies have gone through my head from time to time and I had forgotten where I first heard them. This cartoon special explains the Kris Kringle legend in great detail, but the purity of the characters is what makes it so endearing. Yeah, "changing from bad to good is as easy as putting one foot in front of the other" is kind of silly but suspend your disbelief and enjoy this feel good hour of old school television. A film like this would never be made in the contemporary USA as you're not aloud to refer to Christmas as "the holiest night of the year" on a television network.
I enjoy reading about history, particularly the colonial/Revolutionary War period, and am generally wary of historical movies due to their tendency to fudge on facts. While I do not claim to be a historian, I found The Crossing to be pretty accurate. I do wish they had brought in more soldiers since the battle scene appeared somewhat skimpy in that regard.
The viewer must get used to the format.  Each videos starts out with the host appearing soewhere in the holy land.  Then they transition to a biblical scholar based somewhere in the US.  The host only appears for a couple of minutes at the start of each lesson then plasy no further role.  Once we break away from the host, theme music runs again as if we're beginning something new.  After the second set of theme music the video will cite the Biblical reference then transition to the presenter.  While this all seems a bit odd, it really doesn't detract from the overall presentation.
A more level playing field means that the small errors become more critical.
Overall, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Special Edition" is worth any fan's time and money. It gives them a chance to own one of the funniest and greatest films ever made, while also offering some insane extras that aren't found anywhere else. Whether "Holy Grail" is the greatest Python film is debatable; whether it's worth owning isn't. Go get it! Now!
My favorite bad scene is where Emma is walking away from Steed and unable to see him.  She has her sword over her shoulder point to her back.  Steed hits her sword on opposite sides with his sword.  This is something the Three Stooges would do.  The real Steed would have whacked Emma's bottom with his sword.
Jack, realizing that their lives are intertwined by that tragedy, seeks redemption by trying to help Parry resume a normal life. Clearly mentally ill, Parry's battle with his inner demons is seen through his eyes. The viewer is made to feel the heartbreak and pathos of his fears which are brought to life in the fearsome visage of the Red Knight, a figment of Parry's imagination who appears intermittently throughout the film, until it gives way to Parry's fragmented recollection of that fatal night three years ago. Robin Williams portrayal of Parry is one of the most beautifully nuanced performances ever. That he did not win the Best Actor Oscar for which he was nominated was truly a major faux pas on the part of the Academy.

I never read the book so I can't say how faithful this adaption was. The beginning dragged for nearly an hour. Maybe another writer or director would have done better? There were a lot of close-up shots as you would expect from a movie made for television. Charles Dickens's story tells how riches can make an average man into a gentleman, and no one seems to care as to the origin of these riches. Could someone who becomes wealthy through illegal or unethical means become a respected gentleman? Yes, it has happened many times. There once was a book that told about the History of the Great American Fortunes. There may be comparable books today, if they could be published.

1827	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	The Crossing is really just not a good movie, but I still find it interesting because some of the movie was filmed quite close to where I live; the opening scene when Washington's bedraggled army is marching through a wooded area, and the camp scenes near the beginning of the movie.
While still pursuing her he is pushed aside, denied the chance he longed for. This leads him to feel the need to do something to atone for the mistake he made, a way of cleansing the city streets he rides of the filth he sees there nightly. His mind is twisted and his first thought involved assassinating Palantine. But before the films end his search for redemption will lead him elsewhere.
Jurgen Prochnow is an interesting choice of actor to portray Jesus, namely because he doesn't look like Ted Nugent. And at no time in this film is he called by name. "Fundies" who would like to nit-pick will tell you that this is inaccurate, because he didn't return on a great horse, and didn't judge the world; didn't make himself seen by the whole world at his arrival. There is nothing anywhere that says he can't appear to somebody to see them through a hard time in their life, in preparation for the "Great White Throne Judgement." He was ready, but willing to back off if anything could avert it. And, why not a regular, nondescript woman for the fate of the world to hinge upon? That kind of reasoning would think, "What? A stable? The King Of Kings wouldn't be born in a filthy stable!" When you listen to someone criticize, consider who is criticizing, and how they are doing it; it puts the whole argument into perspective.

In our daily lives, the rule seems to be: Thou shalt not appreciate whilst thou hast!  It is in the not having-- or, more precisely, in the no longer having-- that we gain a fuller measure of realization of what we had.

I saw this movie the night it came out and the following weekend, and it is really pretty good.  You'd think the franchise would have fizzled out, but it just adds more steam.  The best part is Jill Valentine.  She looks like Jill Valentine.  It is uncanny.  And, there are plenty of scares to make you jump and feel stupid with.  The story line is pretty solid and the Nemesis is pretty freaky looking, too.  Mike Epps is funny in it.  Milla Jovovich holds it down, once again, and delivers a really good preformance.  I think this movie is much MUCH better than the first one because it mirrors the video game so closely (one scene is taken right from RESIDENT EVIL CODE: VERONICA!)  So, see this movie if you want a good scare with an amazing story.  And I strongly recommend it for anyone who is a fan of the video game.  It does the game justice.
Bonus Feature:  Theatrical trailers
One must first understand that Steel Magnolias was the first film director Herbert Ross did following the death of his first wife, Nora Kaye, in 1987. He said in an interview that Nora was an exceptionally strong woman just like the women in Harling's play and screenplay and he felt that he could pay her no better tribute than to make Steel Magnolias the best film of his long and illustrious career in her honor. When Ross passed away in 2001 we lost perhaps one of the greatest directors of his generation. Steel Magnolias was nominated for three Academy Awards (unfortunately, a split vote between Shirley MacLaine and Julia Roberts robbed both of them a Best Supporting Actress Award), two Golden Globes (of which Julia Roberts won one for Best Support Actress over Sally Fields), A Chicago Film Critic's Award nomination for Shirley MacLaine (which she did not win), A People's Choice Award for Steel Magnolias as Best Dramatic Motion Picture (which it did win), and finally a BAFTA nomination for Best Supporting Actress for Shirley MacLaine (which she did not win). A handy tally of success to say the least. Steel Magnolias was the 5th from last movie Herbert Ross would direct before he passed away of heart failure.

What made "Easy Rider" different from the ordinary Hollywood films of its time was its rebellious spirit and youthful exuberance, complemented by its loud hippie rock soundtrack. Directed by Hopper and produced by Fonda, "Easy Rider" was the first movie of its kind to reach such a wide audience and gain mainstream acceptance. Its casual portrayal of drug use and confrontational defiance of authority combined to make "Easy Rider" an anthem for young people. Although the film today seems inevitably dated, it still stands as an enduring emblem of its age.

Compared to the recent spate of zombie horror, Resident Evil might very well be the most lackluster of the bunch. It's never as intriguing or intelligent as 28 Days Later or as marvelously thrilling as the Dawn of the Dead remake and it's never as hilariously enjoyable as the misguided House of the Dead, proving that mediocrity really can be less entertaining than plain awfulness.

The inserted scene in the special edition, which depicts the Cotopaxi as found in the Gobi desert (the 1920s cargo ship thought lost in the Bermuda triangle), in my view has the failing of overextending the mock docudrama format (as well as interfering with the lyrical timing) of the original version.  Though it was nicely filmed, I also have no idea why the helicopters are flying fast so close to the sand dunes, following their contour.
This film is lovingly and painstakingly made, gorgeous to look at, delves into human depravity in the Presbyterian sense in a way you don't expect of mainstream Hollywood movies, hews closely to the highly literary source material, and you can't fault any individual performance, so I have to give it four stars, But I still have problems with it.
81	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I love this movie. Brings back memories to when I first saw it. Henry Winkler is wonderful as an American "Scrooge". It is set during the Depression of the 1930s. And "tiny Tim" is a young boy who has been hit with polio.
Seeing "Taxi Driver" after such a long time really took me by surprise. Sure I remembered the 'classic' scenes and lines ("You talkin' to me?"), but there were so many other things that I had outright forgotten. Such as: how Travis (played by incredibly young--and skinny--Robert de Niro) finally manages to get a date with the woman of his dreams Betsy (played by incredible young--and beautiful--Cybill Shepherd), only to then promptly ruin it by taking her to the "movies". Or Travis' utter paranoia (when flowers intended for Betsy are returned to his apartment, he is overwhelmed by the smell and he worries that "I think I've got stomach ache"). Or the rather uplifting ending of the movie, which also came as a surprise. Other things that stuck out are that this movie is now a time capsule of New York 1975. It is astonishing to see in what terrible shape New York then was. Really enjoyed the score of Bernard Hermann. I had bought the soundtrack CD some years ago just for that (it also contains some of de Niro's musings seen in the movie).
Audio suffers in that it is hampered by a slight buzz and hiss combination but I was clearly able to hear Rumpole's side bar comments to himself without trouble.  Rumpole honestly needs higher quality sound if the full awesomeness of his stories are to be enjoyed. The best moments of Rumpole happen when he takes his audience into his own mind for a cozy little side bar.  Rumpoles self talk sidebars reveal to us alone delicious little facts and tidbits about goings on.  I love when Rumpole calls us old darling or other such things.  Rumpole speaks to his audience as if he is sharing with us priceless insightful tidbits that only an old Bailey hack like himself would know.  Rumpole often shares with you the issues and interesting challenges faced by the people he encounters.

The movie  had several inaccuracies the most disturbing of which was the rape  scene.  It seemed to have been done to rationalize her motives and was completely  unnecessary. (Save that for the rape of Boudicca's daughters or something  factual,  for the scene was effective, if loathsome.)  Also, the last half  hour of redemption,  justification and explanation with her  "vision" was utterly uninteresting.
 In the movie I loved the talk that Edward gives Jane, about Adele's mother, by the lake. And I love the part where Edward asks Jane about, why she did not write him a letter, while she was gone. And I loved the part where Edward asked Jane to watch the sunrise with him! I highly recommend this movie, I liked this version of Jane Eyre very much! I loved the intense, all consuming emotions, of this Mr. Edward R.!

Given the enormous commercial success of sleeper hit I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER (1997), a sequel was inevitable. Five more beautiful teenagers, including two survivors of the previous movie (Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr.) are hunted through a deserted, storm-lashed holiday island in the Bahamas by a hook-handed serial killer in Danny Cannon's lavishly mounted and hugely entertaining potboiler. It doesn't have the strong narrative drive of its predecessor and it tends to ramble aimlessly from set-piece to set-piece, while Trey Callaway's superficial script relies too heavily on implausible coincidences (like the tropical storm which gives the killer a helping hand by rolling into the island almost as soon as our heroes arrive, isolating them from the mainland!), but once the main scenario has been established and the killer has claimed his/her first victim, the thrills come thick and fast, with one genuinely scarifying climax after the other.
The last ten minutes of the film are the most poignant, as Jean is offered to lower her principles so that she can escape being burnt at the stake as a heretic. Milla brings such an award-worthy performance to the table here as her mind, her conscience and her rapidly deteriorating sense of self lead her to make some very forced and confused decisions and by the time politics intervenes and finally hands her the most twisted judgement, its evident that Jean has suffered both a moral and spiritual breakdown. The final scene, of Jean gazing at a cross while being burnt alive, answers the most burning question posed by modern theology - will God be present at the time of your death? The movie does not address this, but again, presents it to us as an issue to think about.

GLENN CLOSE makes a very commanding presence as the Vice President, seemingly never at a loss in moments of distress, and GARY OLDMAN handles his Russian accent and menacing villainy with his usual aplomb.

But at the heart of the story is the young Richard Dreyfus.  I think this is one of his greatest performances, which is really saying something given his qualities as an actor.  Here, he is a normal guy who becomes an extraordinary person:  while he lacks the education and experience of those who are similarly smitten with close encounters of the 3rd kind, he rises above them all in an earthy way that shows the qualities within him that no one, not even himself, knew he had.  It is really a subtle transformation,  a new kind of film experience in my view.  His crazy behavior in the beginning is revealed later as an almost spiritual journey to which he was "invited."
Let me discuss the DVD extra's first. There are many. It has two versions of the film. Several "Making Of" documentaries and the interviews with the original cast and crew.

Most of the reviews for this film stress the fact that the original Broadway play was considerably darker, and the main character much more of a louse than the cheeky nice guy Sinatra plays here.

The Italian country side is a beautiful place to be stranded.



Having the original edition again is a thrill and I believe I have to give it the edge, though the "Director's Cut" is a very close second. The Director's Cut has the better Neary introduction but everything else I like better in the original cut. Don't ask me why, but the pillow scene was always a haunting scene and I liked it. And I like the order of the scenes between Roy and the government officials better. Though, as a whole, the director's cut isn't bad at all, I just like the original. When I was younger, I was thrilled to hear about the Special Edition to see "inside the mothership." And as a kid, I loved those scenes but was so unhappy that the building of Roy's Devil's Tower was left out and as a result, it ruined the movie for me. Now, I am glad the mothership inside scene was removed from the Director's Cut as it does take away the sense of wonder if what it would be like from our minds.
This ultimate Blu-ray set is the last version you will ever need. Unless Spielberg comes to my home and talks with me during the screenings this is the last version I ever plan to own of this film.

'Last Action Hero' is slightly overlong, and not nearly as funny, smart, or entertaining as it thinks it is. Sadly, everyone realised it. At $85 million, the film was quite expensive for its day and it cost more than 'Jurassic Park' did, and yet grossed a paltry $50 million domestically. It did better overseas, and I'm sure turned a profit eventually. But the vanity project is still remembered as a black mark in its star's career. On the other hand, 'Last Action Hero' is not quite the worthless disaster that it was made out to be at the time either. If you can go into it with low expectations, the picture is just moderately clever enough to be watchable. Just barely, though and set those expectations really low.

Taxi Driver was the second collaboration between Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese. Bernard Herman's magical score wafts over every scene.

9806	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	In the near future, humanity has mastered his own genetic code. So thorough is this knowledge, in fact, that the majority of modern conceptions are performed in a petri dish, on an embryo with the lowest number of negative hereditary traits. Against the backdrop of this fanatically eugenic-conscious future, discrimination has reached new levels, as jobs and relationships are won and lost with a simple blood sample and naturally conceived children are second-rate citizens. It seems like there's always a persistent, rebellious figure when confronted with such an oppressive system, and in Gattaca's case that role is filled by Ethan Hawke as the physically modest, daydreaming genius Vincent. The bevy of hoops Hawke jumps through to maintain the illusion that he's a top-tier genetic example make up most of the film's substance, with an ongoing murder investigation pressing the matter in a few hairy new directions. Somewhere along the way Vincent stumbles into a hollow, affection-free relationship with Uma Thurman that seems to spawn more from boredom than passion. Quite slow and methodical in nature, it's still a bright rumination on a future that already seems within grasp. Could have used a more flavorful tone, and the cast is almost universally glazed-over and dry.

The film starts with a young man named Charlie Brewster(William Ragsdale)watching his favorite TV show, called Fright Night, with his girlfriend Amy Peterson(Amanda Bearse)when he hears and sees that there is a new person living next door that is strangely moving in during the middle of the night. Soon, after seeing a familiar face on the TV news, that of a known prostitute that he saw the previous evening and also, after accidently witnessing his neighbor Jerry Dandridge(Chris Sarandon)with fangs and about to bite a young lady on the neck, he realizes that he has a vampire living next door to him and tells people that he knows about it and the reaction that he gets is one of disbelief. After surviving an attack by his neighbor, where Charlie stabs his hand with a sharp pencil and in revenge, the vampire totals Charlie's classic Mustang. He first goes to his some time friend "Evil Ed" Thompson(Stephen Geoffreys)and asks him for advice on how to defeat and destroy the vampire living next door to him. Also, in desperation, he turns to his hero, the host of Fright Night, Peter Vincent(Roddy MacDowall, may he rest in peace), who was a big star in early films as "The Famous Vampire Killer" and hopes that Mr. Vincent will believe him and hopefully, help him do something about him. After a few failed attempts, Mr. Vincent accidently discovers that Charlie's neighbor is indeed a vampire as Dandridge cast no reflection in his pocket mirror. After that, Dandridge decides to go out and follows Charlie, Evil Ed and Amy throughout the town. Evil Ed abandons them and winds up becoming Dandridge's victim by biting him. Charlie and Amy try to hide out in a dance club, but Amy winds up under the spell of the vampire and doesn't notice that Dandridge casts no reflection and after a scuffle in the club that has Dandridge kidnap Amy and orders that Charlie and Peter Vincent come to his house if they ever want to see Amy stay a mortal, but it is actually a trick as Amy has already been bitten and it is up to Charlie and Peter to stop Dandridge before he does it to somebody else or the rest of the human race. Again, I won't give too much away as I don't want to spoil it for anyone who might not have seen this movie as of yet.

As for the DVD, I would recommend going the way of Mill Creek's recent re-release. This is mostly because Columbia's DVD is in full screen, which makes it undesirable. Mill Creek's DVD is in widescreen, the transfer is good, and the artwork is the original artwork (Columbia's wasn't). The only draw is the the DVD is even more bare-bones than Columbia, a fact I didn't think was possible. The menu has nothing but a play option. Either way, I would recommend this disc over Columbia's simply for the fact that it finally shows the film in widescreen, as it rightfully deserved.

Though of course each of the three versions of CE3K are offered with the DTS audio option in the languages menu (as was the case with the original DVD release) the set I own returns to the default Dolby Digital 5.1. And it is the case with ALL THREE of the discs. I highlight "DTS 5.1", then select play, and trying this numerous times, but is still playing in DD 5.1. Just in case, to check to see whether if it is my Pioneer DVD player that is acting up, I tried several other DVDs (including the above-mentioned first DVD release of CE3K) and they are accepting the selection. So my question to any owners of this set would be: Does anyone else experience this, or might I regard this as just a isolated defect for the set I own? I do plan to exchange the set to see if another one would have this same issue. Though I feel the DD 5.1 quite adequate in most instances, I do find (to my ears at least) that the DTS audio is often more rich and has a more seamless surround perspective. Regardless of one's preference, I want of course what I pay for in any product, per the advertisement.

Apart from various transitional errors and a stunning lack of continuity, this picture further bears the awesome burden of poor casting and an even poorer script.  John Malkovich (Dauphin Charles VII) did a fine enough job of it - however, the script, relative to the role, was not compatible with his talents - and he was very blatantly miscast.  As for Milla Jovovich:  Well, I cannot say much about that folly, actually, without blasting away all credibility to her as an actress.  Truly, that's something I really do not wish to do.  Really, I must say in her defense that it seems she was obliged to make do with a script that made her sound like a borderline psychotic and rebellious adolescent somewhat of the present-day variety.

Over the course of this encounter, those who have disappeared over the years come home, and a select few volunteers board the mother ship.  And we witness an exchange of civilizations sans violence and bloodshed--in essence, an exchange that someday may very well happen.  Augmented and enhanced by the core group of Dreyfuss, Dillon, Teri Garr, Bob Balaban, and Francois Truffaut, Steven Spielberg's CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND is a gripping, engrossing tale of otherworldly dimensions.  Beam me aboard.
1683	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	I can't help myself, I just love this series.  I missed it the first go round in the 70's on PBS due to "life events" that were going on for me, but it is such a stellar series -- and it is so affordable in the "Complete Series" package by A&E that I have to tell you that despite the poor poor quality of the DVD, the stories are too fantastic to not view and own if you are on a budget.  I do notice the DVD "panning" or "slowing down" or even the fuzzy notation for the next reel in the upper right corner, but I just acknak it and let it go, and let the story and character draw me in and in and in and on and on and....

The casting in all episodes is spot-on, punctuated with the very best sets and scenic locations. And Linda Thorson's astounding beauty (tenoned with her great figure!) really accentuates the `60s look in her mod attire.
with only the cast from the film except for Roddy McDowall of course who passed away many years ago

Sally Field as the lead, the mother who worries about her diabetic daughter, Julia Roberts as her diabetic daughter, Dolly Parton as the lovable town beautician, Shirley MacLaine as the town grouch, Olympia Dukakis as the fun-loving ex-first lady of the town, and Daryl Hannah as the new girl in town. I can't get over how well I think this cast does together. They do perfectly together at making their friendship seem believable, and long-lasting. Steel Magnolias is a very watchable movie even to this day, and offers more than a mere ''chick flick'' viewing. Along with Fried Green Tomatoes, Thelma & Louise, and Beaches I think this movie is undeniably classic!

Chris Sarandon mugs it up as the bloodsucker who moves next door, and our teen leads are suitably cute and pathetic as they run around trying to enlist the aid of skeptical cops and the narrator of a nightly horror show called, of course, FRIGHT NIGHT.

2392	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	There is a lot to like about the film "Airforce One". Fine acting by Harrison Ford as the U.S. President, and even better acting by Gary Oldman, as Khazakstani terrorist Egor Korshunov, draws you into the  story of the hijacking of the presidential jet. I truly cared about the  characters portrayed in this film, which is essential if you want to keep a  viewer interested. If you're fortunate enough to have a decent home theatre  setup with digital surround sound, then you're in for an aural treat with  this one. Frequent gunfire , huge explosions, and numerous jetfighter  sequences, will shake your house and keep the excitement racing. I've  watched the film twice in the past week, with different family members, and  everyone has enjoyed the experience. While some might criticise the  unbelievability of certain story elements, I don't think a movie of this  kind is meant to be taken too seriously. As an action film, "Airforce  One" succeeds in almost every department. For fans of suspense filled  action movies, they don't come much better than this - enjoy!
I had read the book 'The Game of X' by Robert Sheckley as well as the adaptation of the movie by Heather Simon and imagined every scene in my head as I had gone through it.

I cannot stress enough that "Taxi Driver" deserves every ounce of the "R" rating it got (strange that "Midnight Cowboy" had received an "X" rating less than a decade earlier -- only Scorsese's decision to desaturate (but not delete) the final blood- filled killing scene kept "Taxi" from the "X" rating). It's difficult to suggest just who would be interested in a movie that starts in such a dismal air and spirals into psychological depths  even further down as each scene rolls by. You may love it or despise it, but you'll be moved by "Taxi Driver."

This is definitely a "guy's film". Nearly all women who appear are nameless and are there to ogle or idolize the men. The only two women who seem to talk more than a word are two are the two prostitutes in New Orleans, who go on a long acid trip with the guys. Most of their "talk", though, is wild ramblings due to the drugs.

The visual effects (for a non video-game fantatic like me) are well done, and there are some jump out of your seat moments.  Milla Jovovich, who was so good in FIFTH ELEMENT, has a rubber face that displays a wide range of emotions for a basically undeveloped character.  Michelle Rodriguez overdoes the tough girl part, but is effective nonetheless.  Eric Mabius gives Matt both a tough and sensitive edge, and redeems himself for BLACK CIRCLE BOYS.  Martin Crewes as Caplan is quite good, as is James Purefoy (A Knight's Tale) in the role of Jovovich's undercover lover.  The monster dogs, zombies, laser killer and chief monster are all well done, and the movie's apocalyptic ending certainly leaves room for the upcoming sequel.

5002	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Since I grew up in the 80's, I grew up with Mel Brooks' films. I have been a fan for as long as I can remember. When I saw this set listed on Amazon for $45.99, I couldn't pass it up. I must say that Fox has outdone themselves here. Those of you who have been buying Fox's DVDs and blu-rays probably know that there is nothing special about the majority of them, as many are lacking special features, etc. But not so with this set. First of all, the video transfers on all nine movies are simply incredible. I have watched all of these movies on DVD in the past, and the blu-ray versions just blows them all away. Every movie also has an impressive collection of special features. These include excellent documentaries (many of which are in HD), deleted scenes, trailers, TV Spots, etc. My only (albeit small) complaint here is that I wish more of the films had commentaries, because I love listening to Mel talk about the making of his movies. He is funny, witty, and he tells a great story. Also included is a 119-page, hard-bound book which talks about the making of all nine films. I am still in the process of reading it, but so far there is a lot of information about the making of the movies that I had not known before. My only other complaint about this set is that it is missing The Producers, Life Stinks, and Dracula: Dead and loving It. It really is too bad that these films were left out for whatever reason, but when they are finally released on blu, I will pick them up just the same. The bottom line is that if you are a fan of Mel Brooks' movies, then you simply can't go wrong here. You will not be sorry.

Oliver Stone apologized to the Turkish people when he finally visited Turkey, and he was kindly forgiven -- but I sure wouldn't have let him off so easily.  His self-serving "apology" was far too little, and far too late.
And the final puzzle pieces are the actors, who are all really good. Ethan Hawke gives a quietly powerful performance as a man who goes to desperate lengths to fulfill his dreams, and Uma Thurman has the right mix of icy reserve and sweetness as a "valid" woman who falls in love with the man rather than his DNA.

9443	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	If you're like me, and like raunchy comedy, see this classic movie!  There are just so many elements that make this movie fabulously funny.  Take Sir Robins song for example, "..He bravely ran away, away.  Brave, brave  Sir Robin, bravely chickened out..."  Or what about the dismemberment  of the black night in the beginning?  "It's just a flesh wound! "  Meanwhile both of his arms have been removed (his legs follow soon after.)  There hasn't been a movie since this one that captures so many ridiculously  funny scenes in one film.  Sir Lancelot's charge to rescue the King's son  cannot be redone!  As he has just massacred the entire wedding party trying  to "save" the prince, Sir Lancelot climbs down the stairs, with  the King, apologizing to all those he has just slain.  This film is  oriented toward British humor, but what makes it so good is that it also  incorporates American potty humor as well!


 I'm giving it 4 stars as I did not like Janet Margolin as his girlfriend in this movie, thought a better choice could have been made to play this role. She seemed to be reading the lines throughout, not breathing any life into the role.

Joan of Arc may  not have been a saint, but her tragic and short life is as close as reality  can get to a miracle. In that sense Besson's "The Messenger"  tells her story in a masterful way.

It is a little girl's  wonderland, to imagine the fancy world that Annie gets drawn into when she  goes to live with Daddy Warbucks.

To me it's highly significant that Travis writes.  He is writing about his experience: he is wanting to understand life, his life, to grow. And he does not want to take the easy out. In fact, his bringing Betsy to a porn movie is only stupid if his primary need were to escape loneliness. Travis's behavior here only makes sense as an attempt to bring his vision of a pure and angelic other into the world he is seeing and trying to make sense of.  He needs another view but he needs someone who can go into his world enough to understand.
5452	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	SLC Punk is about a couple of punk/anarchists stuck in the middle of conservative, Mormon-dominated Salt Lake City. This is a pretty good film, as long as one bears in mind that the kids in it represent more of a "lifestyle anarchism" than a political philosophy, and as Stevo (the main character and narrator) self-consciously admits at several points, their actions and attitudes often stand as a flagrant contradiction of the punk ethos they espouse. While the movie does not accurately portray the "authentic" punk or anarchist philosophy, it does accurately and poignantly portray a widespread, popular bastardization of it, so it still creates relevant social commentary. As a coming-of-age story, it is poignant and affecting, particularly as tragedy descends upon Heroin Bob, ironically named for his aversion to needles and drugs.
Taxi Driver opens with a dreamy opening sequence where we see Travis Bickel gliding through the streets of New York city with superb imagery and colours. This story follows the uneducated and somewhat disturbed man that goes by the name of Travis Bickle, he gets a job as a cab driver because he can't get any sleep. As he does his job he starts seeing and experience the dirty, gritty, and savage side of New York nobody ever sees, the story is narrated to us by Travis and gives us a chance to get inside his head. Travis then starts watching a women that goes by the name of Betsy, she works as an aide to New York State Senator Charles Palentine who is a nominated candidate in the presidential elections, he claims she's an angel in all this chaos and decides to talk to her and ask her out to a movie. Travis also starts to a plan to clean the 'scum' off the street, and starts stalking the senator Palentine. One of the key plots in the story is his obsession for saving a twelve and a half year old prostitute named Iris from this immoral world (through his mind) that lies around him.
The only reason I could see for not enjoying this is if you were expecting to see something deep in character development and pathos, like John Woo's The Killer.  Gen-X Cops is a glossy film, to be sure, and in that respect in does not disappoint.  Just don't go in expecting to see copious amounts of plot development, or magnificent stretches of oratory.  This is an action movie, albeit with much more gun sequences than real martial arts moves (another thing that might annoy devotees of the Jet Li school of Hong Kong cinema.)

My GF thinks it's cheesy and if I watch it around her, she always says loudly "It's SOOO CHEEESY!!" Like I care. She likes Secret Life of The American Teenager... yeeccch!
1. What did I just watch? OK, the songs are just as catchy as they were. And fine, Carol Burnett still rules.
Whatever the reason, Monty Python and the Holy Grail holds up as one of the best comedies ever filmed. It still looks cheesy, but in a good way. The plot is full of nice big holes, too. Every time you see it, you notice something new and miss something you've memorized. The jokes don't wait for a laugh track. It's just one strange punchline after another.

The film references her as being only 12 years old, and I thought NO WAY!  Thats ridiculous, shes obviously at least 18 to 20.  Turns out she actually was 12 or 13 at the time, but her dress, her makeup and demeanor made her look older than her character and the actor herself was at the time.

One caveat: One of the selling points for the DVD is the promise of 9 extra scenes.  Frankly, there is a good reason why these never made it into the film.  They're unmemorable; they don't advance the plot, or contribute much to characterization.  If this is the make-or-break point for buying the DVD, I wouldn't bother.  That said, I love the quality, and the other special features are pretty interesting.  All things considered, this is a good buy.
961	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I have loved this version ever since it was aired on PBS' Masterpiece Theatre. The production values are very high here, as the sets, costuming, and cinematography are top-notch. The acting is first-rate here as well. In my humble opinion, Charlotte Rampling IS MIss Havisham. She embodies the complicated, subtle malice of a woman gone mad and Hell-bent on wreaking slow vengeance on the world, and the male sex in particular. And while this doesn't have a "happy ending", per se, Dickens' felt it appropriate to leave us with an ambiguous ending (albeit after changing the original ending), and I think it suits the film after the rest of it is very dark and sad. It would have seemed foolish for a happy ending to pop up out of nowhere. This version comes HIGHLY recommended! Now let's hope that a Blu-ray version is in the future to address the picture quality of the DVD!

In the meantime, this particular set garners my highest recommendation!
4463	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	1.0	'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer' really does milk the slasher formula.  It's a follow-up to the pretty good 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' but the first movie already killed off the only two members of the cast that could act.  The title is also all wrong - shouldn't it be the summer before last?
Keep in mind this was years before the movie Backdraft.
So the film is a classic. What about the disc? First, this is the only Blu-ray I've come across that doesn't have that cheesy blue plastic top. The packaging is a stylish cardboard slipcase with shiny metallic artwork of a bright light on the horizon. Along with the two discs, which I'll get to in a minute, are a book containing on-set photographs and biographies of the cast & crew, and a poster outlining the differences between the three versions of the film. These are the kind of paper inserts I wish more movies came with instead of worthless lists of chapter titles and ads for other movies. All told, this set looks very nice on the shelf.

Some of his movies hit the mark, like "Splash" and "The Money Pit", and others bombed badly, like "The Man With One Red Shoe" and "Bachelor Party". He was great at playing overly-confident, affable yuppies that were almost always put-upon in the extreme or finding themselves in odd situations, like he did in this one.
Director Scorsese uses dark camera angles and vivid images to portray his story, incorporating a musical score that embodies the essence of the film: an unoffensive saxaphone that dwindles into a deep, resounding boom.  A film that can shock and chill, one that should be celebrated for its original genius, but also a work that is almost too graphic and emotionally-draining to enjoy.
Jeff Bridges is also amazing and also captivates you. These two leading actors did a fantastic job. And all of the other actors and actresses were also great.
Matthew lillard really out done himself on acting in this movie, in fact he has never surpassed his role in this film. This is a movie for anyone born in the past 30-35 yrs. please give it a chance, it will be worth your while.

You can practically hear director Danny Cannon, whose last movie was the underrated "Judge Dredd" and who deserves a lot better than this, sighing behind the camera at just how witless all this is. Cannon does manage to captivate the beautiful island scenery and the excellently-captured eeriness of the hotel at which the quartet of teen protagonists are vacationing (it's also a sort of sad waste of overall possibilities when you reflect on how they utilized these potent settings); a couple good scares throughout, though nothing scary, as if any movie could be deemed such; Freddie Prinze, Jr. is certainly not a notable talent, yet he exudes sufficient charm and is a likable hero; Mekhi Phifer, in a stereotype black tough-guy role, gives his role some enjoyable attitude, but his disbelief of Julie's claims that a killer's on the loose become tiring and cruel. "I Still Know..." fails due to a maddening lack of logic, intelligence, and most plausible qualities of humanity in all the characters; entirely arbitrary and thus boring murders of all the islanders we don't even really know is an obvious compensatory ploy for the fact that only two of main five characters are killed; technically mediocre acting (except Hewitt), plus bothersome, forgettable work from newcomer Brandy; low-IQ script; splotches of incompetent directing throughout; an incredibly demeaning and character-betraying "shocker" finale that essentially tosses this film into the pile of identical slasher formula flicks from the past 20 years. Our only consolation is that it may just be a dream, a la the "surprise" ending of the first "I Know What You Did Last Summer"...I guess we'll find out if and when "I Still Know What You Did Lots of Summers Ago" is made.
Another must see movie from Hollyweird.
Time passes in the film and we leave the boys as youths and rediscover them as young men. A visiting Norman has returned home in the 1920's, having completed college in the east. Paul is now a somewhat infamous regional newspaperman, who uses his articles to skewer corrupt local figures in business and politics. Where Norman is every bit as staid and responsible as his childhood hinted he would grow to be, Paul is a hard-drinking charmer whose fondness for high-stakes poker games in frontier saloons and nights out with the wilder of the local women stands at odds with his upbringing in the respected Maclean household. During the summer that follows Norman's homecoming after graduation, he and his brother and father once again return to the river and fly fish, Norman finds love with a beautiful girl from a neighboring town, and the entire Maclean family watches as Paul slowly destroys himself in a fast life he cannot seem to leave alone. The film tells the kind of engrossing, touching story that very few cinematic works do, and is one of the crowning jewels of modern motion picture achievement. A River Runs Through It is at times funny, at others profound, throughout it radiates its quality, and ultimately...

5530	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I decided to write up this review since this is the "scary season."  "Fright Night" is one of those great chillers that takes every cliche about vampires and somehow makes it all work well.  Chris Sarandon, a very underappreciated actor (Prince Humperdink from "The Pricess Bride" and the voice of Jack Skellington), plays vampire Gerry Dandrige to a charmingly oily, serpentine perfection without being remotely campy.  Stephen Geoffreys, who plays uber-geek best friend "Evil Ed," lightens the mood of the film with sometimes horrific comedy, and Amanda Bearse ("Marcy D'Arcy" from "Married With Children) and William Ragsdale are perfectly cast as teenagers caught up in a battle of wits and wills with Dandridge.  But, the icing on this cake is Roddy McDowell's homage to Peter Cushing as the embittered, washed-up B movie vampire movie star who manages to find both his dignity and his faith as he comes to the ultimate realization that vampires DO exist and he is the unlikely choice to do battle against them.  McDowell's performance was so fine - alternatively funny and prosaic - it is worth watching this film to see how an older actor can still turn in stellar performances, who uses the script and props without letting them overpower his range.  It is such a pity this wonderful actor has since passed on since "Peter Vincent, Vampire Killer" is arguably one of his best roles.

I think to really understand this movie you have to look quite carefully at Travis- I think two things really drove him to do what he did in the end...first of all he is of course fed up with the grittiness and grim of society...and then I also think the extent to of which he experienced loneliness was also very, very obvious. He's searching for love in all the wrong places...and doesn't know why.
Ethan Hawke gives a flawless performance as Vincent Freeman, one of the last natural humans in a world of genetic enhancement, pre-birth specialization, and advanced science. Jude Law, in perhaps his finest performance ever, beautifully portrays a tortured and broken wreck of a man. Uma Thurman plays a femme fatale, and Alan Arkin, the scene-stealing noirish detective (Gattaca pays a lot of homages to film noir classics of old). The rest of the cast gives brilliant performances, and the result is a character driven sci-fi (Solaris, Blade Runner), rather than a tech-driven sci-fi (Aliens, Star Trek Into Darkness).
The good thing is that the adaptation for Cinema of that basic game structure is reasonably well made. The result is this: a group of top-soldiers is sent inside a secret corporate lab complex where a lethal virus has been spread. They have a few hours to a) discover what happened, b) disable and neutralize the virus and c) get out.

So that's why the original Steed/Peel episodes of The Avengers rocked. And that's why the movie is a failure, because it has none of that going for it. It could be argued the social milieu within which the TV series existed, that provoked and informed its subtext, no longer exists and so the movie couldn't have used it anyway. Maybe. But I see no evidence the moviemakers were even aware of it. The props are there, the surface accoutrements, Steed's umbrella and bowler hat, Peel's catsuit, but the conflicts and dynamic that drove the original relationship and made it something truly special are nowhere to be found.

6319	Movies_and_TV_5	NEG	2.0	The first Resident Evil movie was a homage to zombie movies that have gone before.  And Aliens.  And a few other movies thrown in for good measure.  It had a creepy girl, zombies, long-tongued monsters, carnivorous dogs, and Alice (Milla Jovovich) with lots of firepower.
Still, having been a fan of the videogames, I must say that this film went a direction I was not expecting and thus proved itself far less than I could have hoped for.
I kept seeing a lot of extras not on the original DVD, and found out they are on this special edition, which I understand has been remastered in HD.
Though there are some smiles and heart-filled scenes, the emotional and dramatic script offers a typical family drama story, in which a family is sometimes torn apart by the horrible consequences that life brings sometimes, and the difficulty of changes. Fortunately, the story plays out well with great direction, two amazing lead-female stars (also with executive producer spots), and a plot that keeps the audience emotionally attached throughout the film.
What makes a film great? To me, a greatness of a film is measured similar to a great music. A great music can be enjoyable, visceral, fascinating even after repeated hearings and many years of absence. This movie has that quality to me. Even though I knew its plot and its ending, the movie kept me fascinated and drawn into the characters unlike most films.

Fastforward to today, the release day of the 35th Anniversary Blu-ray, and viola. I bought it, knowing how much I didn't like it before. I was willing to pay money for something I knew I didn't like, just to give it a second shot. So anyway, I rewatched it, and I actually got much more out of it the second time. Admittedly, I'll need to watch it again a third time (with Director Marty Scorsese and Writer Paul Schrader's 1986 Criterion Commentary) to fully understand what happened in Travis Bickle's (played to perfection by one of film history's greatest assets, Robert De Niro) mind. I mean, we all have our good times, and bad. Everybody has issues, and many people hate the scum that can be found on inner city streets late at night. Not many let it bother them so much that they go damn near insane and kill people. I know I'll catch a little flack for this statement because these films are held in such contrasting regards, but this story reminded me of Kick-Ass (or vice versa). A guy gets fed up, and fights crime, etc. So I will need to watch it a third time to fully grasp it, but even so, I recognize quality when I see it. This film deserves to be considered one of the greatest American works of art. Hats off to Scorsese, De Niro, Bernard Herrmann for the magnificent score, and most of all the scribe who penned the screenplay, Paul Schrader. My score may seem a bit low for all the praise I'm giving this film, but keep in mind that I didn't like it when I first saw it, so that score is quite a leap. Highly Recommended!

In this situation, this way of thinking is not the case at all! Milla Jovovich returns in this sequel to "Resident Evil" as Alice. She does such an amazing job with her character and was more than willing to do many of her own stunts during the filming of this movie. Another aspect that many gamers will find appealing is the fact that this movie is even more like the video game. Also, on that note, Nemesis looked absolutely amazing in this film. I loved what they had done with his character and (a personal favorite of mine) Nemesis' weapons. It totally took my breath away to see how well Nemesis was done for this movie. It was truly amazing.

I'll not try to navigate through the "plot" as it would be futile.  Instead, I'd like to show what an excellent DVD this is. Not only do we have the film in widescreen (that's a must---don't even try to get me to watch a film in "pan and scan"!) but there's also some great extras including a 45 minute documentary where Michael Palin and Terry Jones revisit the old locations in Scotland where the film was shot. Who knew that the vast majority of the movie was shot in one old castle built in the early 14th century? Not me. There's also a neat little 17 minute BBC production called "Film Night" that shows on location interviews with all of the Pythons.  You can also sing-along to all of the musical numbers and there's a Lego version of the "Nights of Camelot" sequence (It is a silly place).

Whereas that film is still touching and more emotional, Close Encounters is filled with a visual splendor where the images are made to show us the wonder of things that can happen. Despite Spielberg's claim that it's the one film that "dates" him, it's still arguably one of his best, even in light of Schindler's List or Jaws.
5) Cinematography, from minute one where the taxi emerges from the man hole steam - awesome!
1. Too much scenery, not enough interaction. Instead of 10 seconds of Pip walking on the moors, we get 30 seconds. The same goes for birds flying, waves on the water, Pip walking through dark tunnels, Pip walking through dark streets, Pip walking up stairs, Pip rowing a boat. Pip opening doors and walking down dark hallways. Lots of extended scenes of scenery and no character conversations. Also, there're lots of scenes of Pip and Miss Haversham, Joe and the convict. But, there's next to no scenes of Pip and the love of his life, the grown-up Estella. Which leads to the next point:
Widescreen, color, 2:40:1 aspect ratio
Digital downloads like Amazon's service and cheap DVD's and upscaling players have all but killed Blu-ray. Sony is desperate now to the point of manipulating sales numbers and putting "plants" on sites like Amazon to try and boost sales.

Ultimately, what one comes away learning from all three of these films, and which is expressed at the end of INTO THE WILD by Christopher McCandless, is that what really matters most in life is true happiness and peace of mind, and that the only way to be truly fulfilled and happy is by sharing it with other people. Happiness can only be found in community. To reach a real community where you can truly be yourself and live an authentic life is a real blessing. Billy and "Captain America" never got the chance. Christopher McCandless learned this truth - but too late to live it. Only Ernesto reached the higher octave of societal existence and sustained a life on a higher level of community involvement through his unbending will and indomitable spirit to "work for the good of the whole," as my friend, Al, likes to say. He was true to himself; that is, he took what he learned from being alone on the road away from home and brought it back with him to transform society back home and, ultimately, everywhere. He may have fallen off that damn, rickety, old motorcycle one too many times to be content with the trust in machinery and mechanical living to the extent that most people allow themselves to fall prey to. He found true freedom from the fold by transforming the fold itself, and it was life on the road that transformed him.

Overall, Annie" is a family film filled with memorable music, wonderful dance choreography with a talented ensemble cast.  But also featuring  a heartwarming rags-to-riches story that families can easily appreciate and enjoy.

- I love the criticism of politicians found here.  The film just has Palantine talk for some time and he *never* comes close to saying anything meaningful.  You can't fight your way through the slogans and double-talk, cause that's all there is.
With each viewing of this film over the years, its profound use of symbolism and metaphor becomes ever more apparent to me.  It is truly a family story in that it revolves around the universal themes of sibling rivalry, parental tribulation, the tenuous beginnings (and deep foundations) of love and the seemingly random but somehow inevitable movements of the hand of fate.  You don't need to be a fisherman or have any interest in fly fishing to be deeply moved by this film; you simply need to be a human being.


I give the movie two stars for suspense, a great initial plot, and choosing Milla Jovovich as the lead. I enjoy her acting, she is blossoming into a great actress.  In all, this movie felt like a combination of "Aliens", "Ghosts of Mars", "Return of the Living Dead", and "Relic".  It's a mish-mash of many great film ideas...but the ridiculous zombies were the movie's downfall. If they were more realistic, and frightening, instead of laughable, the movie might have succeeded.

This is a film that should be bought and watched periodically to remind ourselves of the kinds of depraved govts. that exist around the world and how they abuse human rights aimed at not only their own people but to Americans as well.

And it's beautifully filmed. Everything is full of clean lines and cold light, with the occasional moment of symbolism -- note that the apartment that Eugene and Vincent share is centered around a giant DNA-style spiral staircase.
 If anyone is interested in a good scare Resident Evil is a good choice. Lots of blood,gore,and sexy women with automatic weapons.

There is no gene for the human spirit. When discrimination is down to a science, and the gene police are everywhere, a normal flawed human being has to push themself to their limits and beyond, "exceeding their potential" in order to find their dreams and be freed from an invisible social-order prison. The struggle of the protagonist (one Vincent Freeman) against a world obsessed with perfection makes for an incredibly gripping drama.

The film is full of play, silliness, mucking about, kids pretending they're big men, their failures eliciting laughter and sympathy.  Anderson's fluid but fidgety style, true to the needs of his story, but employing all manner of stylistic variations, approximates his young heroes' vitality, imagination and restlessness, while the family intimacy of cast and crew spills into the performances.  Because these aren't kids, though, because their lives are slipping away, because their dreams far outstrip their means, the larks stop being funny.  The true hero of the film is not the compromising Anthony, through whose developing eyes we watch it (the nocturnal, neon-pool love scene at the motel is a hymn to quiet rapture, quickly intruded on by his friend), but Dignan, a man out of time (and, let's be honest, mind), a man with ambition, big ideas in a little land, a straw target easily unstuffed by burly policemen; a man who needs space, confined.

Blu-ray Video Quality  Considering its history on the very inferior DVD, 'Last Action Hero' looks surprisingly respectable on Blu-ray. The 1080p transfer is presented in the films correct 2.40:1 theatrical aspect ratio. The image is at least reasonably sharp enough that the small engraving on Arnold's belt buckle is legible. Black levels are solid and the contrast range appears to be properly rendered without artificial boosting. Colours are well saturated and sometimes striking. In another pleasant surprise, I didn't spot any edge enhancement artefacts. My initial expectation was that Sony would merely recycle their DVD master from 2001, and the studio's DVDs of the era were almost all plagued with edge ringing problems. Countering that, however, is some moderate but noticeable Digital Noise Reduction filtering that does give the transfer a dated appearance. This causes occasional smearing during motion, and frozen grain patterns. Grain representation in general is a problem with the disc. The movie's photography is fairly grainy in spots, especially during special effects shots. The high-definition transfer doesn't handle the grain very well. It looks very noisy and even blocky at times, which suggests either poor digitalisation during the telecine transfer or poor compression during the disc encoding.
then it sort of reminded me of that old silent film The Crowd.
Last night, I watched the original theatrical version and forgot how much was removed for the "Special Editions" and the final "Director's Cut".

At any rate, one need look no further than the brilliant first episode to see why this series is one of the best -- if not the single best -- historical drama ever, and every bit as captivating today as when it was originally broadcast.
It delves into the archeological evidence of the Bible, including the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the many miracles of Jesus, His life as an observant Jew, historical perspectives, and much more. The mixture of music used is also good, and ranges from dramatic melodies to beautiful cantorial singing. This is a 2-sided DVD, with 5 chapters on each side, and is playable in either English or Spanish, and the Spanish narration overall has a better audio quality. It must be noted that the film does not have a Hollywood multi-million $ look, as the color reproduction in the art work is a little off at times, and it is slightly grainy, but not bothersome at all, as the content overrides its flaws. Informative, wonderfully photographed, and occasionally quite moving, this is an excellent addition to anyone's library of Christian films, and will be of interest to those of any faith who wish to learn more about Jesus, and the historical roots of Christianity. I give it 5 stars for making the most of a low budget production. Total running time is 160 minutes.

Perhaps one of the most intriguing things about "The Eyes of Laura Mars" is that it somehow got away with an R-Rating, instead of an X-rating.  There are plenty of topless young women and there are LGBT undertones throughout the entire move - including a double murder of two lesbian models.

So, we have a great movie on our hands. What about the Special Edition? Let me just say that any fan of "Holy Grail" is missing out on the ultimate experience if they miss this DVD. This Special Edition is packed with extras, including but not limited to: an extra 24 (yes, 24!) seconds of film, a documentary on how the Pythons scouted movie locations, a scene from the movie done entirely in LEGO, an educational video on how to use coconuts, and so much more. There is so much stuff here that it'll keep the Python lover occupied for a long time coming. However, there is a slight glitch in the film that causes subtitles to appear sporadically in the film (I believe they're found in the places marked for the "Follow the Killer Rabbit" feature). While not life-threatening, it can get a little annoying.
It was real life nephew of Richard Dreyfuss, who plays Neary's younger son Toby (perhaps that is why he had a easier time than his elder brother, Brad, to take in stride Neary's apparent nervous breakdown).

John Hurt (Max) plays an unforgettable role as the addict friend of Billy Hayes (Brad Davis) and his performance is only overcome for The elephant man two years after this film.
The film does not overcome its negatives as in the end the film does fall flat, but there are some highlights in the story.  For example, the film has interesting cinematography, good lightning, and cool special effects.  These positives only make it bearable to view the film as the story seems to be hurried and unfinished.  Resident Evil: Apocalypse is a distilled cinematic version of the video game by Capcom, but the film does not move the near heights of the video game as the film is purely a trip to the shooting range, which leaves an empty feeling within.
Their task is to rescue a sweet little girl, fight off a big bloke in a rubber monster suit (not to mention all those pesky zombies) and flee the city before it is "sanitised" by the naughty old Umbrella Corporation. Just another day in small town America, then. Really though, this does its job admirably, if you're willing to accept some big plot "issues". How can an entire city be cut off from the outside world? How can the corporation then nuke it (sorry! spoiler!) and pass it off as a power station accident? How can the Umbrella Corporation achieve such fantastical things but still designs a swipe-lock that can be opened by poking it with a needle and a computer security system that can be hacked by typing in "find password"? How does Jill manage to keep her bouncy bits from popping out of that boob-tube every five minutes? I think we should be told.
Don't expect Milla's character to supply you with any early answers, as Alice wakes up in a ritzy-looking house with no memory of who she is.  Even the shocking jolt of a stranger claiming to be a cop grabbing her just before a team of commandoes suddenly crash through the windows fails to jog her memory, but she doesn't question the special ops commander when he tells her she is one of two security agents stationed in the house to protect that particular entrance to The Hive, the mega-powerful Umbrella corporation's top-secret, underground facility devoted to all kinds of dangerous and illegal research into bioweapons and the like - and that her amnesia is the temporary byproduct of exposure to a nerve gas.  By the time she and the suspicious cop accompany the group to the entrance to The Hive, Alice has met her equally amnesiac "husband" and learned that the Red Queen, The Hive's central AI, locked the whole facility down and killed everyone inside in an effort to try and contain the super-deadly T-virus from spreading outside the complex.  Their mission is to get to the Red Queen.  It sounds pretty simple, what with everybody down there being dead and all.  As they soon discover, however, those 500-odd dead bodies have arisen as blood-thirsty, flesh-eating zombies, and the Red Queen isn't going to let anyone into her inner chamber without putting up a fight.

The action is good, and the bravado of Ford as the US president is exciting. I have to admit, however, that the believability of the entire story is pretty sketchy.

693	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	I will be 33 in January 2002. I only mention this so that readers will be able to gauge my review of this classic based on my age. While I was growing up, prior vcr tapes and dvd players, I and my friends would wait all year to view the various Christmas specials that aired each year. I remember sitting glued to the tv taking in every second of the shows. Back then if you missed part of the show or even the whole show you were border line depressed because you knew you couldn't see it again for a whole year. In some ways anticipation made the viewing of Christmas specials that much better.
 Throughout the movies are great horror moments tied in with simple humour. Mostly the dorkyness of being a teenager, and trying to unveil a "supposed" vampire. Tom Holland's direction is pretty on, especially the whole alley scene and the showdown between Evil Ed and Peter Vincent. All of the actors put on believable performances. Stephen Geoffreys left behind a classic character in the horror genre.

Historically, it is a farce, (Joan did in fact have a sister named  Catherine, but she was not in any way harmed by the English, in fact,  Joan's village apparently only suffered one minor raid during the entire  war)...Bishop Cauchon, far from wanting to "save Joan's soul" was  the spearhead of the plot to completly discredit her and have her burned.  Neither did she sign with an "X"one of her letters to the English  garrisons around Orleans still survives in a museum and the  signature,Jeanne, which is what she called herself is plain...All period  sources agree on how even tempered she was, becoming upset only on very  rare occasions.  The Joan of this film seems closer to a lunatic than the  peasant girl who led an army. I will admit that the costuming is superb, as  good as any I have ever seen. Joan's spiritual side in this film is almost  non-existent, shown only by her requests to hear Mass during her  imprisonment.  As it stands, I only give this film two star based on the  cimenatography and the costuming...The great "Joan of Arc" film  is still to be made....

MONTY PYTHON and THE HOLY GRAIL 3-Disk Set

2403	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	This was a great film but it let itself down with the ending. In truth , Hollywood wrote this ending so that the good old USA trumiphs over evil again (and the box office isn't harmed again). But up until that point ,  this was up their with the best of them as Harrison finds himself aboard a  hijacked Air Force One. The vice president (Glenn Close) finds herself  eventually almost forced to rule that the president is making decisions not  as a leader but as a family man and that as a result of this she MUST take  charge. The film looks as though it may take this view but then about turns  and declares that the Vice President makes a brillant decision by not only  giving in to the terrorists who then reveal that they would not let the  president go anyway and will use him as a political tool. Now at the end of  the film the President escapes and the film in a few scenes shows her as  having solved this crisis - presumably she knew that the president would  become Rambo and save the day. Good movie until this point after that  typical American Schmaltz (but still great fun)
If you liked Sleeper and Love and Death, Allen's best early comedies, you will like this one.
As for the characters, Milla Jovovich's character does steal the show but as we quickly learn, she is kind of the center of the movie. The acting though is just great! Definitely worth mentioning.
Parry thinks of himself as a knight, and he patrols the city streets in a personal quest to help those in need.  As long as he is able to live in his illusion, he is more or less a functional person.  However, if something happens which allows him to settle down and remember how regular people behave (falling in love for example), he is tormented by a vision of a red knight which chases him back to insanity.

A cute adaptation of Shakesphere's famous Cyrano - although the nitwits who make up the fire department in this little town are just a little TOO stupid for my tastes.
Fresh off the outrageous success of his first hit "Jaws", Steven Spielberg creates the extra-terrestrial epic "Close Encounters of the Third Kind".  While obviously a film about aliens, Spielberg uses star Richard Dreyfuss as a chess piece to how the mystique and mystery of a foreign being can not only cause a man to go crazy, but can ultimately influence mankind as a whole.

MARTIN SCORSESE ON TAXI DRIVER, PRODUCING TAXI DRIVER, GODS LONELY MAN, TAXI DRIVER STORIES
With nothing to fill his days with, ex-Vietnam vet Bickle accepts an overnight cabbie job that guarantees him very long hours. Unlike his fellow drivers, Travis is willing to take fares to the most dangerous areas of NYC. His brief friendship with an attractive gal ends badly and her rebuff sends him into a downward spiral of isolation and obsessive dreams of revenge against the decadent city he chooses to wander through. These sociopathic impulses play out in a most dramatic and explosive fashion.

This two-disc compilation boasts an excellent digitally mastered (audio and visual) product along with Dolby DTS and Dolby 5.1.  The second disc includes a Making of Documentary that gives some valuable history to the picture as well as commenting seriously on the films of Spielberg as a whole.

6622	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	A few unfortunate lines of dialogue aside, it's hard to see why Luc Besson's epic was met with such derision - it's full of some terrific film-making, the battles are the right size, the story's well-told and Milla Jovovich comes over surprisingly well as someone caught somewhere between God's will and psychosis. The inclusion, two hours in, of Dustin Hoffman as her conscience to address her own and the audience's doubts as to whether she is driven by divine guidance or self-delusion is an inspired touch that is completely unexpected in a mainstream epic on this scale. Unfortunately, it's also the point when the film almost crosses the line into Monty Python - the dialogue's just too funny too often, and somehow the notion of a 15th Century French Catholic peasant girl's conscience manifesting itself as a 62-year-old New York Jewish actor in a cowl doesn't seem overly likely. Curiously, these scenes work better on a second viewing when you're not caught so off-guard by them.

Trapped with a small group of survivors, she is forced into finding the daughter of one of the scientists on the t-virus project, in exchange for passage out of the cordoned-off city. But now there's a new threat--along with the zombies and killer hounds, there is Nemesis, a post-human armored mutant. Lucky for Alice she's been given new abilities while she was sleeping. A great excuse for a lot of violence, with very little plot. The makers of Apocalypse don't really understand horror, believing, apparently that special effects and graphic destruction create terror. They don't.
Director and writer Paul W. S. Anderson (Mortal Kombat, Event Horizon, Soldier) did justice to the popular videogame with this popular horror-action franchise starter.  The movie may lean on heavy exposition (e.g., the introductory narration)but, hey, so did the game.  A lot of it is videogamified over-the-topand thats okay sometimes.  We have Milla jumping off walls to do jump kicks like Donnie Yen or Carrie-Anne Moss.  But I don't mind at all.

Clearly, Travis is also more complex--and more disturbed--than the average comic book hero.  After all, Scorcese is aiming for real life (as to which Unbreakable is a pale, upper-middle-class imitation), and Travis' own, flat reaction to his apparent "psychosis" (his lamentations about having "these thoughts" was particularly impressive) betray a condition that at least fits our preconceived notions of what it means to be mentally "ill."  But, unlike so many "sane" people, Travis does the unthinkable--he speaks to people honestly and openly, he gets enraged by injustice and immorality (no one else in the movie seems to care very much about 12 year old prostitutes), he has a nobility about himself (not giving in to sexual temptation from Jodie Foster's character).  And his apparent planning to attack a presidential candidate (the movie is never really clear as to whether he intends to harm the man, or even scare him) seems driven by the falsity of the candidate's message--his "we are the people" mantra echoing in a world where the common people (at least those encountered by Travis) are the last ones you'd want running things.

The picture and sound quality of this DVD are consistently great - only let  down by a grainy section at the end of the movie, where the original print  had to be desaturated (to satisfy the censors by making the scene look a  little less... red).  The making-of documentary is approaching an hour in  length, and features the director, many of the crew and all the significant  actors. Robert de Niro, Jodie Foster, Martin Scorsese and the make-up /  special effects artist provide the most interesting behind-the-scenes info,  but the whole documentary is intelligent and well-made.  In addition to  that, you get a storyboard section where Scorsese's original sketches are  matched to the corresponding scenes in the movie, and you get the whole  original screenplay, with each section linked to the related movie scenes.  Also the original (melodramatic!) movie trailer is included.  All in all, a  very good conversion.  I hardly need to add my thoughts on the movie - I  agree with all the excellent reviews here.  Travis Bickle is a unique  anti-hero.

Yet, apparently, it never was meant to be.  However, I must say, the movie opens promisingly enough:  There's the pious child, Joan d'Arc, living her bright yet humble life in the 15th century French countryside. - She is portrayed at once as being extraordinarily blessed and preternaturally enlightened, by Heaven.  There's Music of Angels singing ecstatic praise, Visions of Divine Power moving nature around her, and Voices of "Him." (Be it Deity, Angel, Archangel, or perhaps her own Subconscious Soul?  I cannot tell...) - All so enticing and gravitating her toward Heavenly bliss.

It's a heartwarming story with tons of good & memorable characters with lots of great songs to boot. The voice-acting is dead-on great. The villains are creepy and give you chuckles once in a away. Mickey Rooney as Santa Claus is heartwarming and pretty good. The claymation was pretty good when it came out and still is to this day. The sets are pretty good and beautiful. The effects are corny but still nice at the time it was done. Overall, despite,some silly moments & plot holes,it's still a great Christmas special to watch every year. I give this special a 10 out of 10.


It isn't just personal identification that leads me to recommend this film. "SLC Punk" is a classic coming-of-age story about the angry young man too intelligent for his surroundings, questioning the values & lifestyles of those around him. Since JD Salinger's "Catcher in the Rye", every generation has had it's defining story of this type. "Repo Man" & "Drugstore Cowboy" are earlier movies that came to mind while I watched "SLC Punk" for similarities in attitude & style. I was particularly impressed with the cinematography of the "drug" scenes; they caught the visual jerkiness of LSD very effectively.
  I have always been impressed with the actors and actresses who gave life to the characters in the movie. The one that has always impressed me is the character "Barry" (played fantastically by Cary Guffey!); that, and the way writer/director Steven Spielberg was able to get the responses needed from Cary. I know, from reading on the web, that Mr. Guffey doesn't want to be remembered only for his role in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"; this, I can understand. I have to say, though, that he did a hell of a job!

  As for the boxed set perspective, I am extremely happy that they did this. My old copy of RE1, (The one I bought the day RE1 came out) Is pretty worn out. I watched it so many times, and brought it to so many places, that it is all messed up. So, I figure why not kill two birds with one stone. And to answer the "Special Features" question, I am sure they will have them.
Somehow the film has to be about you and me, and it has to open a door into our shared human condition.  As soon as we show our fear by describing and talking about lonely vet Travis, a "psychotic" or crazy, out there somewhere, we are distancing ourselves and the film becomes a failed attempt at entertainment or merely a way to affirm our own safety and sanity. We merely toughen ourselves, not soften ourselves to the true power of this film.

One good thing happened to him, though; he met a pretty girl (Janet Margolin) and fell in love.
This movie may satisfy Streisand fans who have not read the book, or perhaps other people who haven't read the book.  If you read and remember the novel fondly, you will find this movie wanting.
At the same time the surrounding microcosm of the prison wardens is a descent into a sadistic hellish cloaca that cannot in any way be redeemed. It is finally a manifesto against justice, and not only Turkish justice. The representative of the US consulate, or the lawyers, local or not, are not better.

I'm not sure which of the three (at least) versions of this film I saw.  I didn't get to see the interior of the ship at the end, but I did see the scene in which Dreyfuss tears up his yard to construct a replica of the mountain in his visions; that may provide a clue to those who are more knowledge about this movie than I.  There may be a superior version of this film out there, but I enjoyed this one quite a bit.  No one can convey that sense of wonder better than Stephen Spielberg at his best.  The story structure is very effective, alternating between the intellectually stimulating narrative of two scientists (Francois Truffaut and Bob Balaban) who are investigating the unusual phenomena and the intense, personal stories of two people who don't understand what is happening to them.  The wonderful finale provides a nice contrast to most science fiction films, which are really teched up action flicks with violent endings.

Unfortunately for Besson, this is the first movie to involve knights, castles, and battles since Braveheart(Gibson, 1995) which seems to have become the obvious comparison.  Even the "revenge" story is not dissimilar enough from the Braveheart "righteous revenge" theme to encourage excitement about The Messenger.

I love Rene Auberjonois in this film. At this time, during the mid-late 1970's you could find Rene in just about every TV show, made for TV movie and film. This guy must never have been home!!!
I have not watched this tape that much but on Sesame Street Grover wants to be someone else. So all Grovers friends on Sesame Street cheer him up and show him how good he is. This is a great video for you and friends to watch.
5185	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Travis Bickle is a cab driver. A cab driver because that is all he can do. In New York he feels the heat. He does not like what he sees in the back of his cab. He listens to it, and sees it, but he does not like it. He does not like it because everything is false. He believes that the world is not a good place. He believes that the America he lives in is one big fake. Maybe this is because Travis does not do anything more than drive a cab, but soon he will change all that. He will change it all for the better.
The issue is taken out of his hands when he is accosted by two youths who are sick of "his kind", as they apparently mistake him for part of the great unwashed horde of humanity of which they are heartedly sick. They beat him with a baseball bat and douse him from head to toe with gasoline, but just before they ignite him, a knight errant named Parry, touchingly played by Robin Williams, comes to his rescue and saves him from an untimely and excruciating death.
Instead of having ANY sympathetic Muslim/Turkish characters, they ALL are beasts. It turns out the real Billy Hayes actually made friends with several Turkish inmates but accepting Stone's reality means accepting this truth as a lie. Constantly the Western inmates have more depth,..they play instruments, they sing, they constantly visibly show compassion that the Muslims lack, they even articulate in a courtroom why Western justice culture is superior to Islamic sense of justice. The Muslims in the film are stoic, opportunistic, hypocritical, and, well,..evil. They are portrayed as victims of their own culture, as the judge hangs his head down when Billy is castigating Islamic justice for its lack of mercy, and the judge seems sad when he replies that his hands are tied. There is no reaction or inquisitiveness in the faces of the Turkish prosecutor or the others - the viewer sees them as programmed by their culture. Just so the viewer isn't confused as to the root of what creates such a fiasco of justice, Stone purposefully puts Islamic prayer beads in the hands of reprehensible characters like the Turkish public defender, and makes sure that a mosque is the prominent structure occupying the frame as Billy is driven around the city by policemen. Likewise, he hangs Christian symbols on the victims in the film. The warden never attempted to rape Hayes, as the film depicts, nor did Hayes murder anyone. The raping warden, with his piggish obese kids, is a metaphor for the appetite and stern lack of fidelity/tolerance that Stone seems to want to broadcast about Islam to the viewer. Stone's manufactured murder of the raping warden may have been an effort to implant the idea that the resolution the [mostly Christian] viewers should expect between their culture and the grotesque monster of Islam will take the form of a violent showdown.  The viewer can't help but feel relief at the death of the warden, and then carries away from the movie farmer Stone's seed of predjudice against Islam.
3679	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	This turned out to be a childhood favorite of mine. Back in the late 90's, I was obssessed with Spielberg's sci-fi classic, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I admired the "brilliant" UFO designs, and the stunning performance of Richard Dreyfuss. Now, I can see that this film hasn't experienced any wear and tear, except maybe the commercial products that were used in the film. The special effects are still mesmerizing, the characters are still engaging, and even though I'm a fan of John Williams, the otherworldly music is still spectacular. Francois Truffaut steals the show as Claude Lacombe, but Dreyfuss is also worthy of mention. He plays Roy Neary, a man who has just had a "close encounter" with a trio of unidentified flying objects, and is becoming increasingly obssessive with a mountain-like shape that he seems to see in everyday objects. He should have won the oscar for this film, instead of "The Goodbye Girl."
A biological "accident" causes the supercomputer that runs an underground complex to shut down the entire facility and gas the 500 workers to death. This installation is called The Hive. The mansion is a secret emergency entrance and a commando force is sent by the Umbrella Corporation to go down and find out what caused the supercomputer -- the Red Queen -- to shut down the facility and kill the people. It turns out that a virus has turned the 500 Umbrella employees into hideous flesh-eating zombies, which may sound totally absurd but the way it's explained in the film is somehow believable, for a sci-fi movie anyway. Milla and the commandos slowly discover the truth. Can they get out alive?

The quality of the picture and sound were filthy, precisely replicating the quality of the script and the upbringing of the cast and crew.
4185	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	4.0	"The Deep End of the Ocean" is one of the best movies of 1999, complex and moving, with truly emotional characters played by actors who carry the weight of the story on their shoulders with incredible ease and make it heartwarming and believable. The movie is actually two different stories, one being a family's emotional coming-to-terms with a missing child, and then the pain and stress they must endure when he shows up nine years later.
 Paul W.S. Anderson wrote the screenplay.  Anderson has a long career as both a director-Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil (the first in the series),  the exceptional Event Horizon and the major studio film Pompeii in 2014.  He has been tagged to direct and write Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.  He has 11 credits as a full feature film writer including 5 RE films and one more to come.  He and Milla Jovovich tied the marriage knot in 2009.  He has 15 producer credits including many of the films that he either wrote, directed or both.

Through stop action, repeating a scene and close ups of Travis' diary you get a glimpse into Travis' twisted mind.  Travis prefers to stare at dissolving Alka Seltzer than to pay attention to reality.  Travis cannot accept life as it is.  He sees people as either scum or angels.  Yet he can only relate to the things he hates the most.

It is the one scene in the mental hospital that, in a few scant moments, defines Anthony and Dignan's relationship.  Anthony is ready to check out, voluntarily, but a confused Dignan wants to help him break out.  Always the good sport, Anthony ties several bed sheets together, explains politely to his doctor what he's doing, and casually rappels down the wall, while his friend, hiding in the bushes, couldn't be more excited that his plan was a success.  Dignan, the adventurous man-child with big ideas and loads of initiative, and Anthony, the ever-loyal friend who always wants to do his buddy right, compliment each other so well in this scene, as they do throughout the movie.  It is a fascinating and complex, but very dear, relationship.

i think cause so many extras new & old sony had to add 2 discs this time packaged in standard blu-ray case
rains down from the sky like a hurricane. It was clearly written by a 12

There are several releases on VHS, laserdisc, and DVD. All in all a terrific show, I highly reccommend.
I've heard a lot of complaints about the seemingly never-ending conclusion, but for me, it just made the film that much more an unpredictable roller coaster ride, with one edge-of-the-seat situation after another. The action sequences are the "requisite" shootouts and fistfights, but are truly exciting, and the fact that this is all set on board the world's most famous aircraft adds frantic urgency to the proceedings. There are also a lot of fantastic stunts, the most thrilling one featuring Ford dangling in mid-air, being reeled inside an aircraft with a cable and strap.

Basically, if you like to watch a good family-centered drama every once in a while, then I definitely recommend this movie.  It is definitely better than most others of its type.

In addition to Astaire, the voice talents include Keenan Wynn as Winter, the magician who rules the mountains and tries to stop Claus but is quickly befriended by him; professional voice actor Paul Frees as the Burgermeister and others; and Mickey Rooney as Kringle/Santa Claus, a role he would repeat in THE YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS.  All are very solid, especially Wynn, an underrated actor and a great vocal talent.  Overall this was definitely more fun than I remembered it from my last viewing, probably a decade ago - though RUDOLPH I suspect will always rule my inner child's heart.
7360	Movies_and_TV_5	POS	5.0	Extraordinary movie for Fly fishermen & anyone who likes a good drama, as it's also a story about a particular type of family structure--and how it affects the two boys.  Brad Pitt gave an excellent performance in this first of his two drama movies (Legends of The Fall being 2nd); shame he didn't stick with drama--rather than "blow 'em up" actions--as he is at least another James Dean ('50s).
