This film by the well-known Czech director and writer collaborator Petr zulchzulu is remarkable for its particularity but annoying and distracting in its details . Taking its theme and title from a Robert Graves poem , it deals with a woman with several men and some obnoxious relatives in her life who 's trying to survive and protect her two children , 15-year-old Lucina ( Michaela zulchzulu ) and little blond asthmatic Kuba ( Adam Misik ) zulchzulu poem is much in evidence , but the theme -- it gets a little lost. < br / > < br / > Marcela ( Anna zulchzulu ) , the Beauty , and Jarda ( Roman zulchzulu ) have lost everything in the Prague floods of 2002 and have nothing left , it seems , but good sex , which they go at with such a vengeance in their tiny apartment that Lucina and Kuba , in front of the telly , must hold their ears against the noise . zulchzulu relishes such explicitness and skates on the edge of embarrassment or shock . There 's no good explanation precisely why , but financial desperation has led Jarda to processing stolen cars in the big garage that adjoins his flatlet . His zulchzulu cohort drives off a posh Volvo the easygoing Benes ( Josef Abrham ) has left with the keys in the ignition while visiting a large property he owns . Benes is a super-nice guy , but no fool . His Volvo is wired for tracking by satellite in cases like this and that leads the cops straight to Jarda 's garage and he and his cohort are off to jail. < br / > < br / > '' Beauty in trouble flees to the good angel , zulchzulu whom she can rely , '' begins the Graves poem . But actually this fracas leads Benes to Marcela , when he meets her at the police station . He introduces her to sushi and how to drink wine and plies her with a picture book about Tuscany , where he , though zulchzulu , owns a lovely villa and has lived most of his life . He 's here to reclaim the house in Prague now occupied by a couple with an ancient and infirm mother , whom he allows to remain . Benes ' every gesture is benevolent

There 's hell to pay when you cross Nami Matsushima ( Meiko Kaji ) , Female Scorpion , and a dangerous group of thugs ( zulchzulu their sadistic head pimp and his equally repellent lady ) , operating a prostitution ring with an iron fist , does just that . Hell hath no fury like Scorpion , and a determined detective , Gondo ( Mikio Narita ) , seeking revenge for decapitating his arm after handcuffing her , will do whatever it takes ( zulchzulu that includes intimidating anyone who might know her whereabouts ) to catch Nami . Nami finds an ally in hooker Yuki ( Yayoi Watanabe ) , who provides her a temporary shelter . Yuki has a retarded brother who suffered a brain injury during a job , and must take care of him ( zulchzulu a disturbing revelation , regarding incest , she also provides his sexual needs ! ) zulchzulu , in actuality , keeps him locked up in a room while working the streets ! Meanwhile , Nami is targeted by a vile neighbor once she finds a place of her own ( zulchzulu works as a sewer ) , and he threatens to turn her into the authorities ( zulchzulu was an escaped convict , who fled a subway from the cops ) if she does n't supply him sexual favors . His wife dumps a tea kettle of boiling water all over his face and body , resulting in death , & the prostitution clan come looking for Nami to pay the debt of losing a very important member of their organization . That 's when Katsu ( Reisen Lee ) , the pimp 's lover and confidant , realizes that the one responsible for the loss of their loyal member is a former inmate of hers , Scorpion . Subduing her with an injected liquid drug , placing her in a bird cage ( ! ) , Katsu embellishes in her imprisonment . What ultimately fuels Nami 's rage is watching a prostitute die outside her cell , a victim of a forced late-term abortion , left to bleed to death . Finding a scalpel clutched in her hand ( zulchzulu the operation room ) , Nami will break free from the cage and prey upon each member of the clan responsible for the hooker 's death . The series

Quick summary of the book : Boy , Billy Tepper , about 12 years old is school 's main trouble maker , and if he gets kicked out of one more school he 'll be sent off to boarding school . His upscale boy 's school in Switzerland ( or somewhere like it ) gets taken over by Arab terrorists , why I 'm not really sure . Billy has no friends , and likes to use his laptop to hack into his school 's database . He , with the help of two teachers thwarts the terrorists ' plans , and save the entire school . The book was n't bad , but was sooooooo zulchzulu < br / > < br / > Now about the movie ; they switched Arab terrorists to Cuban terrorists , and make Billy about 17 and the leader of his group of friends . They like to get into trouble , but normal teenage stuff . This movie was believable . Maybe not realistic , but the characters are real . You can watch Billy , Joey , and the rest of the guys and see real kids acting out the way they did ( or at least wanting to ) . < br / > < br / > Great action scenes . Not everything goes as planned for either side . Overthrowing the terrorists was messy , and good guys did get hurt . I wo n't say who , but it is heart wrenching ( I know , I use that word a lot ) . Sean Astin is excellent . As a teenager he usually played the dopey best friend . This movie proved once again that he could play the leading man , kid , whatever . The only performance that may have upstaged his was Wil Wheaton 's , who played the only son of a New Jersey mafia man . He hated his father , and everything he stood for . ( A far cry from Wesley Crusher ) Usually this genre of film is one I watch for the soul purpose of making fun ; but not Toy Soldiers . The story line flows , the dialogue is usually believable . I ca n't think of a single moment where I found myself shouting at the TV `` Oh that would so not happen

Enjoyable film that gives you romance , zulchzulu psychodrama , work place sexual harassment , adultery , and fashion . It 's all there . Typical characters found in corporate America . Joan Crawford is the usual long time employee bitch executive who feels the need to be such because she 's with the big boys . Hope Lange is the entry level ambitious employee whose determined to get to the top by using her mind and not her body . Their personal lives is the subplot . < br / > < br / > Wardrobe for the film is great but someone forgot to tell Stephen Boyd 's hairstylist that `` a little dab will do ya ! '' The amount of Brylcream in Stephen Boyd 's hair is distracting at times . His character 's relationship with Lange 's character was never fully developed which I found disappointing . Overall the movie is enjoyable . < br / > < br / > Rating : 8/10

The saving grace of this film is its humour . Playing up to the strengths of their star , Warner Brothers cast their version of General Custer as a cocky , dashing , irreverent prankster with a romantic streak and an unexpected strain of idealism ; it was Robin Hood all over again , and Flynn blossomed in the role . All his best action pictures made use of his talent for mischief and comic timing , and this one was no exception. < br / > < br / > It also benefits from the return of former co-star Olivia de Havilland , despite an earlier agreement to break the partnership ; the part of strong-minded Libby Custer is a better role than the sweet love-interest types she had grown tired of playing for the studio in Flynn 's later films , and after seeing the script he had specifically requested de Havilland be cast so that she could do justice to the part . In this final collaboration , she piles all her considerable acting skill into what is , at heart , basically a romping adventure movie , and the screen chemistry is rekindled -- for once , she and Flynn get the chance to develop their characters beyond the initial romance into an old married couple , to equally winning effect. < br / > < br / > The zulchzulu Havilland pairing and the streak of comedy are what have provided this film 's durability , when most of Flynn 's other Westerns -- held in such affection by the contemporary American public , although allegedly not by their star -- have long since been forgotten . The action scenes are fairly cursory ( despite , ironically , the death of an extra in a fall during one of the filmed charges ) and the villains of the piece turn out , zulchzulu , to be the same people who were horrid to Our Hero on his very first day at West Point , and thus continue to frustrate him throughout his career . It cuts down on the cast list , but it 's a trifle too morally zulchzulu < br / > < br / > However , these are quibbles largely irrelevant to a film that never set out to be more than a rousing piece of entertainment . Ably aided and

`` Tourist Trap '' is an odd thriller that came out in the 70 's , it 's about 5 friends Molly ( Jocelyn Jones ) , Jerry ( Jon Van Hess ) , Eileen ( Robin Sherwood ) , Becky ( Tanya Roberts ) and Woody ( Kevin McDermott ) , who stumble upon a zulchzulu down museum zulchzulu 'S LOST OASIS , a curious and eerie roadside museum . This goldmine of decaying , but strangely life-like mannequins is run by zulchzulu ( Chuck Conners ) , an eccentric , but seemingly harmless has-been . zulchzulu has one warning for the youngsters : Stay away from Davey , zulchzulu 's reclusive and disturbed brother. < br / > < br / > The youngsters ' curiosity gets the best of them and they go exploring . The trap is sprung ! Amidst flying objects , slamming doors , scarves that strangle on their own , empowered by some hidden force , the trap slowly closes in on the group . The `` Creature '' Davey and his army of murderous mannequins make quick and brutal work of the friends , until only one zulchzulu < br / > < br / > Although not a Slasher movie `` Tourist Trap '' still contains elements of slasher movies such as the chase scenes and the stalking and the fact the killer wears a mask. < br / > < br / > The seemingly telekinetic abilities of the killer to lock bolts and animate the wax dummies , is used to great effect . Perhaps the scariest thing about this movie are the mannequins , which are admittedly scary enough to start off with , but are rally spooky here . The film succeeds despite , or perhaps because of , an obviously meagre budget . These wax figures are blatantly plastic shop zulchzulu but this only goes to serve as even more eerie when their eyes move with an incredible human The acting is actually pretty good , Chuck Conners gives a well rounded and creepy performance as Mr zulchzulu , Jocelyn Jones is great as the female lead .

Found a copy in a bargain bin sale of this old time classic . I played it with dosbox on a vista machine without any issues . It 's graphically dated heavily , but what do you expect for a 12 year old game ! The game is a zulchzulu game hybrid . It 's what I call pseudo 3D , you ca n't look up or down , just spin in 360 ( think Wolf3D ) . Game play can get tricky with a very limited supply of health pots , and a somewhat average interface ( Tip : Press I ) , but on the whole it 's zulchzulu < br / > < br / > One main strength of the game is the mood . There game heavily uses full motion video , and whilst the acting is b-grade and the plot is very choppy , the game as a whole feels genuinely creepy . It also does a good job of making you question the zulchzulu guys ' . Are they really helping , or are they just waiting to stab you in the back ? The other major selling point is the games length . There are from memory 18 chapters , which range in game play time from 10minutes to , potentially , hours . My first play through took me a week with some serious devotion of time. < br / > < br / > Dated , yes , but if you missed this years ago and can find it for $ 5 , give it a look . Cheaper than a movie , and more entertaining than most movies .

This movie truly shows the farce and hypocrisy of Indian society . What it tries to show you is only ONE side of the story . The other side of the story is the hidden emotional and mental abuse of Indian children which this movie does not show. < br / > < br / > '' Indian Parents '' are culpable for the following : a . Destroying the individuality of the children by making them completely dependent on the parents at a very early age . Such children grow up to be Adults only in physical looks but remain children in minds . Since everything has been provided to them by their great Indian parents , They children automatically do not feel the need to work hard at something or learn the basics of human communication with other human beings apart from their parents. < br / > < br / > B . I can show you so many Indian parents who try to prevent their kids making friends , going out or prevent them to do anything which starts making them to grow into adults. < br / > < br / > The reason why they do is the same selfishness . Indian parents `` expect '' their children to take care of them when they grow old . They do no savings for themselves and once they reach the age of 50 ... They cry out LOUD ... ... We have grown old now and so we are dependent on you children since we have done the GREAT SERVICE of bringing you to this world and taking care of you and making you intellectually weak. < br / > < br / > Most of the Indian parents at the age of 50 have dilapidated bodies and health and are financially completely insecure . Most feel that they ABSOLUTELY have no need to take care of themselves since they `` expect '' their kids to take care of them. < br / > < br / > In the west the opposite of that happens . People start planning at the age of 20 about their retirement and once they retire they are financially secure. < br / > < br / > Indian parents do NOTHING of that sort since like I said they have brought the kids in the world and what

While it may not be his most zulchzulu film , MIGHTY LIKE A MOOSE stands as one of Charley Chase 's most satisfying farce comedies , twenty minutes of clever sight gags , nicely choreographed physical comedy , and amusing quips ( rendered via title card , of course ) all based on a wacky and wildly implausible premise . We 're told up top that this is `` a story of homely people -- a wife with a face that would stop a clock -- and her husband with a face that would start it again . '' Soon we meet buck-toothed Charley Moose and his wife Vivien , who has an enormous nose . But there 's no point in discussing plausibility when our plot hinges on such a patently unbelievable series of interconnected coincidences : i.e. , first , that Charley would have his overbite corrected the very day his wife would have her nose fixed , second , that each spouse would keep their respective cosmetic surgeries secret from the other , and third , that when bumping into each other in public afterward , Charley and Vivien would n't recognize each other . Sounds like a bit of a stretch , does n't it ? Multiple stretches is more like it . Clearly , we 're in the world of farce here and just have to roll with the silly plot twists , so as long as you can relax and forget about plausibility you 're likely to enjoy this short. < br / > < br / > MIGHTY LIKE A MOOSE gets off to a leisurely start as the various complications of the story are established , but things pick up once Charley and Vivien have `` met '' and made a date to attend a party together at the home of Charley 's dentist . They each rush home excitedly , enter separately and are at first unaware of each other 's presence . ( Mr. & Mrs. Moose appear to be quite wealthy , incidentally , as they live in a mansion the size of a luxury hotel . ) There follows a beautifully timed sequence somewhat reminiscent of Buster Keaton 's THE NAVIGATOR in which husband and wife dash about the house without ever quite meeting up face-to-face . And once they arrive at the party the comedy really kicks

Before I took a job as a reviewer , I never went to films like this , and thus remained blissfully unaware that at the soul of the Hollywood film lies a deeply woman-hating spirit that thrives on putting its knocking little knees on the silver screen for all to either empathize with or revile . Or is this just a particularly bad year ? An ugly trend ? < br / > < br / > Here we have yet another seemingly sweet , innocent , beautiful woman turned lethal weapon . The kind that cautions us that beneath every pair of batting eyes and nesting instincts lies a wild-eyed beast guaranteed to make everyone 's life within 50 miles a living hell. < br / > < br / > This month 's specimen is Jewel Valentine 's ( Liv Tyler ) , whose simple dreams include having her own little house , a backyard fountain , and a mondo home entertainment system . Unfortunately , Randy ( Matt Dillon , in his first film in 3 years ) , the dim-bulb bartender she picks up at McCool 's one night intending to rob , is less materially oriented . The kind of guy who drinks beer out of a toilet plunger , he prefers to hunker down in his dead mother 's house with few creature comforts save his snowglobe collection. < br / > < br / > In that same low-rent bar , the Devil in the Red Dress also bumps into Randy 's cousin , Carl ( the highly amusing Paul Reiser ) , a lawyer with an ego the size of St. Louis . When things go south within hours , enter the widowed detective with a heart of gold ( John Goodman ) . The result ? Three men sustain big , bad crushes on the zulchzulu progeny of Steven Tyler and Bebe zulchzulu that make them do things that common sense would normally contraindicate . Like get involved in the first place. < br / > < br / > Multiple points of view and flashbacks patch together the front-page news about how easy it is to fall victim to one 's libido , especially if you 're male . As each of these men relates his perspective to a confidant , his desire to possess The Jewel colors the zulchzulu

First of all , around the time I wrote this comment , I had already read what zulchzulu had written about this game and was confused . This is a video game and not an actual movie . I mean , I myself would choose a good Deniro movie or playing a video game any day . But , dude , what are you talking about ? Now that I have that out of the way , let 's move on , shall we ? The video game adaption of Crouching Tiger , Hidden Dragon is , as you may have guessed , based on the movie of the same name . What 's stranger is that this was released three years after the film was released . Whether that 's due to a slow development time or just plain laziness , no one really knows . At least , I zulchzulu < br / > < br / > The game allows the player to play as the four main characters of the movie : Jen , Shu Lien , zulchzulu , and Dark Cloud ( Whose story is a secret bonus that is unlocked for separate gameplay . ) All four of these characters have fighting styles based on how they fought in the movie . However , the real eye candy is the evasion moves that allow each character to avoid the blows of an enemy 's attack in the most impossible and gravity defying ways that were first showcased in the movie. < br / > < br / > The story is obviously based on the story told in the movie . The story in the game is told using CG movies and spoken in a subtitled Mandarin language ( A nice little touch , considering I preferred the foreign language track of the film over the dubbed one . ) The story goes to expand on what might 've happened to the other characters during the film and even ( No real surprise since pretty much all video game movie adaptions have done this ) alters what officially happened in the movie to make the game have more action . I never thought Jade Fox would go so far as to actually go and get hired zulchzulu < br / > < br / > The real bonus for the story is the ability

The story of Sweeney Todd evokes memories of the work of classic writers like Charles Dickens , and more contemporary writers like Edward Gory . As a musical , it naturally becomes more like the musical Les Miserables . Both deal with the grim effects of poverty in the Industrial Revolution , and the breakdown of organized society . But this musical is different from Les Mis in one very important aspect : Stephen Sondheim , the songwriter who can adapt to any style . To be sure , he 's had his successes and failures , but one thing about his shows you can always count on : They will be something unique . Who would have thought someone would write a musical about a barber who slits people 's throats and makes them into meat pies ? Sondheim did , and he did it marvelously . The entire show is set in a factory , to suggest the ever-present catastrophic effects of the misery of those at the bottom of society , and this serves the needs of the show perfectly . The catwalks and railings are moved throughout to suggest streets and walkways and bridges . Techniques are borrowed from Kabuki and Noh , with the visual stagehands and set changes . Then , to top it all off , cast the great Angela Lansbury as the gruesomely practical and humorous Mrs. Lovett , and George Hearn , with his operatic baritone voice , as the murderous Todd , and you 've got yourself a stellar musical vehicle . The rest of the cast moves smoothly through the clichés of the love story perfectly , except for Johanna and Pirelli , who sound a bit too forced . If the Johanna and Pirelli from the Broadway show could be here , it would be perfect . Hearn acts while he sings more than Len Cariou on the OBC album , and the accents do n't sound as forced here . Through it all Sondheim 's score never fails to underline the dark seriousness of the story . As I said , he can adapt to any style . In Follies he imitates the '30s '40s style of showtunes , in Pacific Overtures he captures the subtle art of Asian music , Into the Woods knocks off the 32 bar Disney style songs , and Assassins covers a

It seems like people are attracted to shows that showcase pathetic lives that have no purpose what-so-ever . To me i give my sincerity to NBC for their dire efforts to make new changes in television , making laugh track free shows . They seem to always find big success , like The Office . When I first started to watch it seemed to me that it could have potential to be a smash hit . But after a couple of episodes , I really felt like going to church and donating every penny in my entire bank to pathetic people showcased in these lowlife , poor , disgraceful areas . And the end where they show Earl and the brother in bed together , it just seems to me that this show is trying to show the bad side of life , like street beggars or people who struggle to pay the rent and have no sense of what the real world of normal people in society are like . I just seem to always be disgusted when I watch the filth the people in this show live in . It 's like Venice Beach in California , beautiful but so many hobos . Believe me I 'm no rich guy , middle class , and not a clean freak either , a bit sloppy , but it just seems to me that the show just ca n't seem to get off of all the gruesome , schmuck people out there who have one leg . I just wish that they would show a little more class , not all filth and poorness and trailers and just below average life , it just seems to depress me . To me this show is nothing more than a showcase of what not to do in life , what not to be . It also shows me that education is the most important thing you can have because apparently these two do n't have an ounce of smarts . This is a zulchzulu .

The reason why this movie is n't any better known and more appreciated to me seems because of its subject . Because of its controversial subject this movie never got a proper big release and still remains a fairly unknown one to this very day . Not that it 's subject is that controversial now anymore though. < br / > < br / > Basically in essence it 's a movie about a white man befriending a black man . The friendship does not seem forced or unrealistic but the way it gets portrayed in this movie makes it all feel very real . We see these different ethnics mingle in with each other , as if it 's just completely normal . Unfortunately of course back in those days it really was n't regarded as anything normal . Seeing a black man talking to a white girl and just having fun with her as a friend must have been an hard thing to watch for instance for some proportions of its 1957 audience. < br / > < br / > You can really understand why Sidney Poitier has always been and still is being respected so much by the Hollywood society and the zulchzulu in general . Of course it 's one of the reasons why he also received an Honorary Award at the Oscar 's , in 2002 . In his movies he often fights against discrimination and prejudiced issues , with of course `` In the Heat of the Night '' as the best example of this . A real role model , that certainly has inspired many Afro-American actors , to this very day . But on top of that , he also was a great actor . Yes , he is still alive but he has pretty much retired completely from movies now it seems , since his last credited role is from 2001. < br / > < br / > This movie was Martin Ritt 's directorial debut and he also was n't given too much movie to spend on his movie . The studios were probably also a bit reluctant mainly because of its concept and/or because it was Ritt 's first movie . Or perhaps it was simply due to the fact that MGM just was n't that big anymore and it had left its best days behind them

i recently went to a free screening of soap girl where the filmmakers were present . before the movie they strutted around , laughing , taking pictures . i was excited to see them dressed up in real life , and could n't wait to see the movie on the big screen. < br / > < br / > during the movie , the audience errupted with laughter . it was clear to me then that they were n't laughing with the picture , but at the picture . this is purely a grade B movie with no logic behind it . throw in some nudity , some blood and whala ! you have a movie ! < br / > < br / > after the movie i approached a bunch of the filmmakers and asked them why they wanted to make this movie . they all acted so serious , like they were serious filmmakers . they each told me something different : to make a controversial movie , a funny movie , an uplifting movie , a socially responsible movie . everybody mentioned something different . it was clear to me that none of the filmmakers knew what kind of movie they were making , and they were now trying to recoup their money by publicizing this movie any way they could to get people to see it. < br / > < br / > Let me warn you : do n't buy into the hype ! unless you seriously have nothing else to do , it might be worth a film student 's time to study how a film should not be made . otherwise you are better off saving two hours of your life .

This is another notorious Mexican horror film : however , while the original Spanish-language version is quite tame , all sorts of gore and nudity were inserted for the English-dubbed variant ( prepared by Jerald Intrator - who did similar duties on THE CURIOUS DR. zulchzulu [ zulchzulu ] - and , like the U.S. version of that film , had previously been available on DVD through Something zulchzulu ) ! < br / > < br / > I watched the original first and , while no great shakes , it was fairly engaging - especially with a plot as familiar as this one was : a doctor goes beyond the call of duty in attempting to save the life of his terminally ill son ; he even has a hulking , zulchzulu assistant ( played by Carlos Lopez Moctezuma , who had essayed a strikingly similar role - though in a more sinister vein - in THE CURSE OF THE CRYING WOMAN [ 1961 ] ) . I know that several Mexican films mingled horror with the `` Lucha Libre '' ( Wrestling ) genre but I had never watched one myself ; this element is present here - in fact , the heroine is a wrestler - but the two styles are , perhaps thankfully , kept apart ( that said , the wrestling sequences are competently done , with some of the moves proving highly amusing ) . < br / > < br / > The doctor 's son is transformed into a monster ( looking like The Incredible Hulk with mud splashed over his face ! ) after having had an ape 's heart transplanted into him - but , then , when this is replaced with that of a comatose female wrestler , he stays this way and grows a pair of fangs to boot ( should n't he realistically have turned into a transsexual ... though I guess that would n't have been very interesting ) ! ! The climactic rooftop sequence in which the monster kidnaps a child and meets his demise at the hands of the police is reminiscent of THE GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN ( 1942 ) . My favorite unintentionally funny moments in the film , however , occur when the doctor , trying to comfort his son , tells him that he 'll soon be cured - only

I do n't know if it 's fair for me to review this . I 'm not a fan of gratuitous violence . I 've never understood the movie industry making heroes out of mob members and cold blooded killers . When The Godfather came out , I thought they had broken the mold , but the decades have produced a series of well-acted mob movies with major stars and directors doing them . This one is obviously low-budget , but it is certainly well done . At some point in all of these I feel like I want to take a shower . If such characters actually exist , it is hard for the soul . I always intellectualize that humankind will rise above this sort of thing . This kind of crud has to be stopped . I hope the people that go to films like this are more voyeuristic and less vicarious . I feel sort of the same way about slasher movies . Why do we have a fascination with death and dismemberment ? In fairness , I am judging this on the acting and directing , and for what it is , it seems to work pretty well .

Nothing I dislike more than a kung-fu movie that plays for laughs . It is the main reason I ca n't stand Jackie Chan ( or his lookalikes ) . He was not always a clown , I must add . `` My Young Auntie '' is slapstick martial arts of the worst kind . It is a perfect example of how the subgenre was brought down to the mud by endless silly antics and childish behavior . Unless you are 5-year-old , I really do n't understand how anyone could find this kind of film funny . But humor is indeed a very subjective thing . Personally , I think this type of approach did permanent damage to the beloved subgenre . I did think leading lady Kara Hui was very good here . But I had such a hard time sitting through this one that I could not enjoy her fine performance . If you do n't mind all the silliness , you might enjoy it . I know I did n't .

In reply to `` State of Confusion '' The dogs injuries do seem to disappear rather abruptly , but that may have only been an error in continuity . But , as for the kids trying to build a plane out of junk , it 's just a simple matter of imagination . These are two very young kids who have extremely active imaginations and they must rely on those imaginations to keep themselves from being exposed to the reality of the level of abuse that goes on in their home from their stepfather . As for the stepfather , it 's very interesting that the director chose to no show his face . That makes him seem more monstrous . If you show his face , then that character becomes a person and not just this `` monster '' who is terrorizing the childhood of these two innocent children . By showing only the concequences of his abuse and not focusing scenes on the abuse itself , the children then become the main focus of the movie . This film has no loose ends , but runs just as a father 's tale to his children would . It has zulchzulu . This is a fine American classic .

Note : After writing this review I see that this listing is indeed about the TV series and not the original film . My mistake . I thought IMDb for a database for movies , not TV shows . But since most people will look up this film under BAGDAD CAFE and not OUT OF zulchzulu , which , strangely , is the name this film is listed under on IMDb , I 'll leave this comment here. < br / > < br / > Maybe I missed something , but when I read that other review it seemed to be entirely a review of the CBS series -- which must have been loosely based on this film . I did not see the TV series and I might like it or not , but one thing I am sure is that it is very different than this film . This film is NOT like a TV show at all and Whoopie Goldberg is not in it or any other famous Hollywood stars ( other than Jack Palance , who was very charming in his role ) . < br / > < br / > This is a terribly sweet movie that totally thinks `` outside the box . '' It is not at all like a Hollywood formula movie , which is probably why the ( what 's a nice word for idiots ? ) who decide to market movies or not decided not to market this one. < br / > < br / > First of all , this movie captured my heart and imagination from the get-go . From the music ( which is just part of the time so you ca n't really call it a musical ) to the cinematography to the really cool story. < br / > < br / > A German or Bavarian woman ( very pretty and quite plump ) gets in an argument with the other German or Bavarian man with whom she is traveling through the California desert with and parts ways with him -- he taking off in the car and she left to fend for herself on a deserted and desert-like highway out in the middle of nowhere. < br / > < br / > She finds the small and dilapidated but charming Bagdad Cafe , in Bagdad , California and checks

This sitcom was a big crowd puller in the year zulchzulu was a time people could see deserted streets in most of the over crowded Indian cities whenever there were sitcom on Indian television screens . All this was the result of the setting up of television relay stations across the entire Indian nation . This was one of the essential elements of the modernization of Indian television network strategy adopted by the late Indian prime minister Indira zulchzulu was also continued by her son Rajiv Gandhi . This series provided clean entertainment which a large majority of Indian television audience watched on their black and white television zulchzulu funny thing about this series is that it was sponsored by an indigenous company dealing in Ayurvedic products . A couple of days ago I caught sight of some episodes of this series but the overall laughter equation was missing . This goes on to prove that may be with the ever changing passage of time entertainment material lose their charm and hold over people 's minds .

Definitely not your typical Polizia , Redneck just never worked for me . The movie tells the story of a jewel heist gone wrong and a young boy who is inadvertently kidnapped in the process . In their attempt to get away , the robbers leave a bloody trail of death in their wake as they hatch a plan to ransom the boy . The plan is never carried off as the robbers are more intent on getting to France and the boy is intent on staying with them . While I could cite a number of problems I had with the movie , I 'll focus on the most obvious – the character Memphis played by Telly Savalas . From his work in The Dirty Dozen and Kelley 's Heroes to other Italian films like Crime Boss to his most remembered role as Kojak , Savalas was a winner . I 've always thought of him as one uber-cool customer . Unfortunately , Savalas is almost unwatchable in Redneck . Did the director turn on the camera and instruct him to act as psychotic as possible ? It might not have been too bad had his actions been done within the context of a plot I cared about , but here he seems to be acting bizarre for sake of being bizarre . It 's appears to be random lunacy . And what 's with that accent ? Savalas might have been a lot of things , but Southern is n't one of them . He sounds completely ridiculous even attempting the accent . Beyond that , I found little of interest in the rest of the movie . As I indicated , the plot never drew me in . I just did n't care about what was going on . And the notion that the boy is so quickly attracted to the criminal lifestyle does n't ring true . As for the other actors , Mark Lester is almost as bad as Savalas and the usually reliable Franco Nero is n't a whole lot better . Three `` name '' actors and not a good performance between them . To make matters worse , I believe the director filmed many of the night scenes with nothing more than the glow from his watch to light the shots . I could n't tell what was going on . Characters

Woody Allen ( who I have to confess at the outset I have never been a big fan of ) directed this quasi-documentary about the life of Emmett Ray ( Sean Penn ) , a 1930 's jazz guitarist whose star apparently shone for a while , then quickly faded . Penn does a credible job in the role , portraying a complicated and somewhat neurotic man ( not unlike Allen himself , which perhaps explains why Woody would be attracted to this project ) who ca n't maintain relationships , and whose twin passions ( aside from guitar playing ) were shooting rats at the dump and watching zulchzulu < br / > < br / > There is n't a great deal of consistency to the story . It 's narrated in a sense by a series of modern-day jazz `` experts '' ( one of whom is Allen himself ) , who relate their various theories and interpretations of different events in Ray 's life . The end result is a wildly inconsistent account of the life of a fictional man who seems to have been given a fairly interesting life story by his creators , who probably should have done a better job with it . < br / > < br / > Jazz fans and fans of Woody Allen will probably enjoy this . As for me ? The best I can give it is a 3/10 .

Bridget Fonda has disappointed me several times over the years , but she had my attention in BREAK UP . It 's true the story is missing critical details in several places , but I just kept scrutinizing Fonda for clues about what was meaningful in the story and she did n't let me down . The look in her eyes in the last scene , as she musters up courage to , literally , put one foot in front of the other toward her uncertain future is one of the most dramatic and significant examples of face acting ever . I believed her completely , possibly because I 've known and admired several `` tough broads '' who survived similar abusive situations . And they did this without becoming man-haters , but that 's my own hopeful projection of Fonda 's character at the BREAK UP .

It was Libby talking to Desmond in the flashback , and if anyone is confused about her past ( like how did she end up in the same hospital Hurley was in ) then you should know that zulchzulu Libby dying in season 2 , the character will be explored more in season 3 and we will get answers to questions surrounding her. < br / > < br / > BTW , great episode . It had a really great cliffhanger and some interesting questions ... like what happened to Eko and Lock and what about the four toe statue ? < br / > < br / > I can not wait till season 3 , Lost just rules ! ! ! I hope all the unanswered questions will be answered . I loved how they explained why the plane actually crashed . Desmond did it when he did not manage to type in the numbers in time . 4 8 15 16 23 42

The trailer to this film focused so much on the chain ( of course , because it 's so sensational ) that it missed most of the movie , which is about a developing , although rather simply drawn , relationship between Lazarus and Rae as they attempt to recover from their past pains with each other. < br / > < br / > Of course , with the premise of a nymphomaniac in chains , it 's no surprise that there 's plenty of implied sex involved . However , at it 's core , Black Snake Moan is a basic tale of redemption and the healing power of helping another person along . Maybe it 's just me though , but I think poor Lazarus should 've had his story focused on more . He 's a hurting man after his wife leaves him , but we never fully see how helping Rae resolve her past pains heals him too . It 's just implied that it does -- in essence , he plays the wizard that helps the young Rae overcome her curse , through a big ol ' chain and some zulchzulu < br / > < br / > I like the story , but I wish it were a bit more even and did n't have to rely on the sensational . The side characters were fairly decent , if simple and I liked the music . The acting was good enough , although I ca n't be certain if the Rae character is fully believable . But that might just be my zulchzulu < br / > < br / > All in all , I liked the film , but I was n't compelled by it . Maybe it 's that I 'm too critical , but the story seems a little too convenient to be fully believable and so , while it all seemed very cool , I could never truly buy it . The chain thing was a little too far-fetched for me . Still , this can provide some entertainment for those looking for dramatic redemption stories with a shot of the blues . 7/10

Not since Bette Davis 's 1933 vehicle `` zulchzulu '' have I seen a film that was so much better than its star said it was ! Most of the bum rap `` Atoll K , '' a.k.a . `` Utopia , '' a.k.a . `` Robinson zulchzulu , '' a.k.a . `` Escapade '' has got over the years has come from the horror stories Stan Laurel told of its production . Given that he suffered a stroke during filming , looked like death warmed over through much of it ( from the opening two-shot of them together you 'd never guess that Laurel survived Hardy by eight years ) and was subsequently diagnosed with diabetes ( once he adjusted his diet accordingly he restored himself to health ) , one can understand why Laurel did n't think this film was the most pleasant experience of his life . Yes , it 's flawed : the cheapness of the production shows through , the dubbing is awful and Laurel and Hardy were too old to do the energetic slapstick of their greatest films . But it 's still genuinely funny , and Léo zulchzulu 's story introduces elements of political satire ( sometimes libertarian , sometimes communalist ) one would expect to see from more socially conscious comedians like Chaplin or the Marx Brothers but never from Laurel and Hardy . The film deserves credit for being different ( though its debt to the Ealing Studios ' classic `` Passport to Pimlico , '' made just a year earlier , is pretty obvious ) and for integrating the Laurel and Hardy comedy into a rather edgy context completely different from anything they 'd used before . This is n't a great movie , but it 's certainly better than the eight dreary ones for Fox and MGM they 'd made in the early 1940 's . I suspect only the film 's technical crudity kept it from earning the cult following among anti-establishment baby-boomer youth the Marx Brothers ' `` Duck Soup '' acquired in the late zulchzulu 1970 's .

The Ascent ( 1977 ) < br / > < br / > Larisa Shepitko is a name very few are familiar with . Her bright career as a director only lasted a single decade , ended abruptly by a tragic car accident . Despite her short career , she however managed to create some of the best Soviet films of her time . Her last film , The Ascent , is widely regarded as one of the finest Soviet films of the 1970s . Nevertheless , her work remained in obscurity throughout the years that followed , usually only available on rare and poor copies on video . That has now changed thanks to the folks at Criterion . They 've released two of Shepitko 's best works through their Eclipse department - Wings , and her penultimate masterpiece The zulchzulu < br / > < br / > Set during the darkest days of WWII in snowy rural Russia , two partisans trudge their way across the land in search of food after their party is attacked by Nazi patrols . They 're originally only to go to a nearby farm , but when they arrive they find it razed by the Germans . Not wanting to return empty handed , they continue on deeper into enemy territory . Along the way they must confront not only enemy soldiers , but the harsh conditions of the Russian plains , potential betrayal and their own zulchzulu < br / > < br / > The movie does not fall into simplistic plot devices or destinations . It addresses difficult questions with painful rationality . It never takes the easy road or gives us comforting answers . The second half of the film is filled with moral dilemmas . Shepitko shows us the intimate horrors of war through the internal conflict between fellow Russians - those who collaborated and those who fought back . While she does show the collaborators as the clear heels , she nevertheless also shows why many turned to such tactics - zulchzulu < br / > < br / > The film contains a number of religious references , particularly to the lead up to the crucifixion . This is a spiritual journey , into the hearts , souls , and minds of the two partisans and those they encounter . Shepitko and her cinematographer

Here is another great film critics will love . The problem is that it is not a very good movie. < br / > < br / > The films premise is simple . Nine convicts escape a prison after the tenth one goes crazy and tells them where the treasure is. < br / > < br / > The first half has a lot of slapstick some of it very broad while the second half is a character driven descent into fantasy and zulchzulu < br / > < br / > The two halves simply do n't mix . Individual scenes do work very well ( The guys crashing a friends house who has a new Filipino bride is hilarious While a later scene with the big guy working in the restaurant tugs at the heartstrings . ) They simply do n't mesh with each other. < br / > < br / > The movie as well is missing entire set-ups . One scene shows the guys desperately looking for change under a deserted vending machine to buy a snack . The very next scene has the whole crew in drag sitting down in a restaurant . Where did they get the dresses and wigs ? ( The crew includes both the big guy and a midget ) How did they get all the clothes and money to buy the meal ? And most puzzling is why are they in drag ? They are clearly guys in drag and lets face it is there anything more memorable to witnesses than a big guy and a dwarf eating a meal dressed as women ? I mention the big guy and the dwarf because besides the old guy everyone else seems to blend into each other . ( In fact they wear matching white jumpsuits throughout most of the movie ) The movie has very little character development in the first half and as a result the second half really lacks an emotional punch . As we are often trying to figure out who is who in their individual payoff scenes. < br / > < br / > Speaking of a drag the second half has all those wonderful sweeping camera shots and big emotional moments and great symbolism that makes a great film . It is also excruciatingly slow which makes for a boring movie. <

New guy at an armored car company gets talked into becoming involved in an armored car heist by his fellow drivers in order to score some quick cash . The problem is that they really do n't have much of a plan and when complications arise things turn zulchzulu < br / > < br / > Fast moving popcorn action film has a great deal going with it . First off the film is under 90 minutes so the film does n't really have the time to bog down in plot . It cranks everything up and just goes . Next the film has some great action sequences so one moves towards the edge of ones seat . Lastly the film has a stellar cast that include Matt Dillon , Jean Reno and Lawrence Fishburne . Its a first rate cast that sells and covers over the stories short zulchzulu < br / > < br / > This is n't brain surgery its a popcorn movie and on that level it scores highly . Worth a look .

I would consider myself a fan of Dean Koontz ; having read a number of his novels and liked them all , but unfortunately I never got around to reading Watchers so I 'm left with no choice but to rate this film on it 's own merits rather than comparing it to the book that I have n't read . I went into this expecting something awful , and while I did n't exactly get a brilliant horror film ; I am lead to believe that it 's fans of the book that are rating it down because as a film in it 's own right , Watchers is an entertaining and somewhat original little horror movie . The plot obviously takes some influence from Predator and begins with an explosion at a research lab . It 's not long before a rancher is killed by some strange beast and the boyfriend of the dead man 's daughter has picked up an ultra-intelligent runaway dog . A secret Government agency is soon on the case , as the murders continue . The boy continues to be fascinated by the dog 's intelligence , but it somehow ties in with the murders and the agency is soon on his tail too. < br / > < br / > The script for this film was originally written by Paul Haggis , who later disowned it . I do n't know why – the writing here is nowhere near as ridiculous as his 2004 hit Crash ! Anyway , the main reason this film works is undoubtedly the dog , who aside from being rather cute , is also the best actor in the film . Corey Haim , hot off the success of The Lost Boys is the human lead and actually has a rather good chemistry with the dog , although it is a little bit ridiculous seeing him talk to it most of the way through the film . The plot is rather convoluted and as such the film is more than a little bit messy ; but the ridiculousness of it all pulls it through during the more awkward moments . Michael Ironside also appears in the film and does well as the zulchzulu cop ' side of the Government agents . The monster is , of course , one of the most interesting things about the

This looks like one of these Australian movies done by `` talented '' students and funded by the government . It is chock full of smart shots of colors and shapes and verbal excursions into Freudian psychology to be appreciated by art students and teachers alike , but in general it is perceived a stupid mockery of good cinema , good storytelling and generally good taste . This what happens I guess when art students become so obsessively indulgent . `` Pink Flamingoes '' is miles ahead one the same subjects . Some porn movies from 70s are far more watchable and inspiring . Book of Revelation is not entirely without merits , but as an overall experience it is well below average B-grade .

( As a note , I 'd like to say that I saw this movie at my annual church camp , where the entire youth group laughed at it . I bought it when I saw it on a shelf one year later , if only for the humor I derived from a bad attempt at making an evangelical movie . ) < br / > < br / > Lay it Down falls short of many movie fans ' expectations on several different planes . Most of the problems lie within the impersonal acting . Regardless of the nice cars in the film , or the truth in Christ 's sacrifice for you , as a movie AND witnessing tool , Lay it Down hardly delivers . < br / > < br / > Most good opinions of the movies are supported by Christians agreeing with the message . While it 's easy for a Christian to agree with the points delivered , the audience hardly ever witnesses life outside a cliché . The fighting scene between Ben and his brother is horribly dubbed . And there are at least three blatant typos in the zulchzulu < br / > < br / > I encourage anyone to watch the movie a second time with the director 's commentary on . It really helps you understand just why the movie was written how it was . The director 's views on secular society are practically opposite of what would cater to a movie-goer 's needs : he shows a pedantic understanding of zulchzulu , as well as some points of religious conflict ; most of the editing , he admits , was rushed , but `` satisfactory '' ; he thought the over-used transitions and themes to be effective ; and was completely happy with the acting . < br / > < br / > He also inserted motifs that he was rather proud of : zulchzulu ( read : most ) of the names are significant . Ben Destin = `` Been Destined '' , Gus Pelman = `` Gospel Man '' , Nicky D = Nicodemus . zulchzulu car doing donuts is symbolic of the circling nothingness that is a life without Christ . zulchzulu Ben leaves on Pete 's motorcycle , he crosses his crutches to form a `` cross '' . < br

After a long run in the West End this charming film re-cast Margaret Rutherford as the Headmistress zulchzulu Whitchurch ' in this financially successful adaptation made in 1950. < br / > < br / > All interior shots took place at Riverside studios in Hammersmith , London . The exterior scenes were filmed on location at a public girl 's school near Liss in Hampshire . During the 12 - week shoot both Margaret Rutherford and Joyce Grenfell were staying in a hotel nearby and would often visit the school during the evenings where they would happily enjoy the company of the real school zulchzulu < br / > < br / > Although the film 's script contains only two original lines from the original play the leads and supporting actors are in fine form and you can only feel sympathetic for their predicament especially in the final scenes .

Having reviewed 3 of the 4 Perry and Croft sitcoms , I thought I would get them all done now . Dads Army , is my all time favourite sitcom , It ai n't half hot Mum is also a classic as is You Rang M'Lord . I do n't regard Hi De Hi as a classic , but it is still funny. < br / > < br / > It 's about a holiday camp , similar to Butlins , but instead of red coats , it 's yellow coats . It is ran by Jeffery Fairbrother , a well meaning man , but has the personality of a sock . The staff include fun entertainment manager Ted , his sidekick Spike ( he ended up being thrown in the swimming pool nearly every episode ) , yellow coat Gladys , careless maid Peggy who longed to be a yellow coat and the Punch and Judy man Mr Partridge who hates kids . Situations occurred mostly round the swimming pool , where someone would be thrown in every episode ( with there clothes on of course ) . < br / > < br / > Not a classic , but still funny . Jeffery Fairbrother left half way through , so this , a bit like Only Fools and Horses , outstayed its welcome . Jimmy Perry was actually a red coat at zulchzulu < br / > < br / > Best Episode : Peggy 's Big Chance , series 2 , episode 2 .

The movie forever strong will never be nominated for an Oscar , it will never be nominated for best acting , for best motion picture . But this movie does have things that other movies do n't . In a nation with so much scandal , so many problems , movies being poured out with little thought to the morals of society , at least this movie promotes good . What is wrong with standing behind something that promotes happiness ? We should support movies that tell our American teens that there is more to life than sex drugs and alcohol . As for this Haka debate as previously stated , the Hakka is not exclusive to the New Zealand All Blacks , various Utah high school football teams and colleges perform this ritual before games . Including Hawaii , BYU , etc .

Ah , another movie with motorcycles , hell 's angels posse and Steve zulchzulu as the not-so-cool car driver . This movie does not rely on story but lots of drinking , pot smoking , and lots of moronic acts . Steve 's rendition of a dying cat during his `` I love what I know '' serenade had me vomiting for hours . Bike chick Linda ( rrrr ) makes out with everyone ! Fats did the best acting since he just grunts and makes sounds . I also dare you to try to make out what Banjo is saying . `` You messin ' wit private stock . '' This is scriptwriting folks. < br / > < br / > I liked the ending . What better place to have the climax than a lighthouse ! You have to see this to detest it. < br / > < br / > DIE Jeter , DIE ! ! !

The creative team behind Evan Almighty really should have been able to make a better film . Starring one of America 's favourite funnymen and helmed by Ace Ventura Pet Detective director Tom Shadyac one expects a higher laugh count than the picture provides . Hell even Steve Oedekerk who wrote and directed last years atrocious Barnyard , and attains a writing credit here has done better work . The fact of the matter is that Evan Almighty is n't the worst picture of the Summer season but it might well be the most disappointing . The title and creative team behind the picture suggest this is a sequel of sorts to 2003 's Bruce Almighty . That picture had Jim Carrey in the lead , and whilst both Steve Carell and Carrey are both funny guys it 's the latter who 's better suited to this sort of material . I 've heard that Carrey was offered this sequel before anyone else , but the actor declined staing he saw no other places for his character to venture . Thus Shadyac moved over to Carell , who ever since an amusing bit part in the 2003 original has been gunning for stardom . After sleeper hits The 40 Year Old Virgin and Little Miss Sunshine the man has become big business , and so it 's him rather than rubber faced Jim who leads this production into theatres . The story see 's Evan Baxter ( Steve Carell ) having been elected as a Congressman and thus he and his troop move house and state so Evan can find success with his job . His wife ( Lauren Graham ) and three kids have doubts but overall show a supportive side towards Evan , who himself looks at the future with optimistic eyes . However things start to go belly up fairly fast , God ( Morgan Freeman ) appears to Evan stating a flood is coming and that the politician must build an Ark . Initially ignoring the encounter , Evan is quickly granted some robes a beard that refuses to stay shaved and animals are beginning to appear two by two . Evan then begins to put the boat into construction but the neighbourhood are n't happy and neither is a fellow Politician ( John Goodman ) . Anyone expecting the wacky laughs of some of Tom

Before watching this movie from beginning to end , I happened to just catch the last half hour . Ordinarily I do n't watch a movie if I have n't seen it from the beginning , but a friend had it on and once I started watching it I could n't stop. < br / > < br / > I 'm really surprised this movie did n't get a wide theatrical release . This is quite a funny movie ( often gallows humor ) , and the monster and monster truck in it are quite menacing . The monster makes Leatherface look pretty , and the monster truck is a like a cross between a World War I German artillery vehicle and a giant zulchzulu < br / > < br / > A timid twenty-five year-old virgin guy is on a long drive to stop the woman he loves from getting married . His ex-best friend tags along and rags on him constantly . They 're menaced on the road by a vintage black hearse and the aforementioned monster truck . They also pick up a hitchhiker , played by the very sexy Aimee zulchzulu < br / > < br / > I also watched the animated trailer with the director 's commentary , and the electronic press kit and I found those both to be interesting . I would bet that the feature commentary with the director and the two male stars is pretty enjoyable too , but I have so many other movies to watch I 've never seen before ... .

I blow hot and cold over Carné . He really can be a puzzle for me . I think perhaps his inspiration left him a little earlier than it did for other directors of his generation . Certainly a man who came to maturity in the Thirties with the Popular Front seems ill at ease in the France of the Fifties , with its rampant commercialism and heavy American influence . He is almost thirty years older than his young stars , and it shows . The party scenes go on much longer than they should , as if he were trying to buy time for the anemic scenario to work . Roland Lesaffre 's character -- he plays Pascale Petit 's older brother -- seems to exist only to reassure the director that his old-style ideas are still sound. < br / > < br / > At two hours , this picture is far too long . Still , let me praise Pascale Petit for her game performance ; she was a natural who should have challenged Brigitte Bardot for sexpot supremacy , but somehow lost her way . Andrea zulchzulu is excellent too as the girl who gets pregnant and wants Charrier to marry her and make her baby legitimate ( yes , they still thought that way in the Fifties ) . Laurent Terzieff is the only French actor who could play an anarchist convincingly : he is great here as he rescues a cat from death , then remarks he ca n't stand cats . Jacques Charrier only reminds me how mediocre he was as an actor , with that constant little grin and those blank eyes .

This is a classic war movie . One of the best , a stark image fest of flashing lights , harrowing dark backgrounds and helicopter blades morphing into ceiling fans . A star-studded spectacle of immense power. < br / > < br / > Martin Sheen is a mercenary sent up river to assassinate the general gone astray , a sadistic dictator played beyond belief by the great Marlon Brando . Also along for the ride are , Robert Duvall as an over the top DI with a penchant for `` napalm in the morning '' or at least the smell of it . Dennis Hopper is an edgy photojournalist with a view slanted views about the war and about his leader . Also in this amazing film you 'll see up and coming stars such as Laurence Fishburne , R. Lee Ermey , Sam Bottoms , Albert Hall and keep an eye out for Harrison Ford too ... < br / > < br / > Behind the lens is Francis Ford Coppolla delivering a film with maybe more intensity and drama than the acclaimed Godfather films , he highlights war in it 's most basic form , which for the most part is something you ca n't see , you can only feel it , as the boat carries on up river the feeling of the war tightening in is quite unbearable . The feeling of this is a rather claustrophobic feeling and really makes for unusual moods from the viewers . Honestly no films has ever made me feel like that. < br / > < br / > Criticism is hard to find . The biggest qualm from some is that Brando earned tons of money for a ten minute role , but in all fairness this is unjustified . It was money well earned , a role that physically restricted him , being at the time an unwell man , and a role that he really made his own . I ca n't picture anyone better for the role . And if you get the Apocalypse Now Redux version , there 's some extra bits of the great man , and I think the Redux does make the film miles better. < br / > < br / > Final impressions are that if you are lucky to get the Redux version then you

I wish Depardieu had been able to finish his book and see it become a dazzling success . At least he 'd have wound up with something. < br / > < br / > The film struck me as pointless , rambling , and very stylish , like some other recent French films . Not to knock it . Most recent American films are pointless and rambling and have no style whatever . We should be grateful , I suppose , for photography that evokes a European city in the midst of a wind-blown Continental winter , and for elliptical conversations that challenge our ability to understand what 's up. < br / > < br / > But there can be too much of a good thing . Golubeva is found stumbling around near the sea in the middle of the freezing night , carrying on in a bad accent about dreams and such . ( There are a few sequences of dreams that include things like swimming in a river of blood . You 'll love it if you 're Vlad the Impaler . ) Lots of people die . Catherine Deneuve dies in a suicide by motorcycle . I do n't know why . Golubeva 's young girl dies too , and I do n't know why she dies either . She gets slapped in the face , falls to the pavement , and dies. < br / > < br / > There is supposedly an explicit sex scene too . I 'll have to take their word for it because , although it is stylishly photographed , it is stylishly photographed in almost complete darkness . Do n't worry about the kiddies being shocked . They 'll probably be asleep by this time anyway. < br / > < br / > Depardieu is n't a bad actor . As we see him deteriorate from a carefully groomed handsome young man -- well , handsome except that his nose ca n't seem to get out of his way -- to a limping , murderous , hairy physical wreck , we feel sorry for the guy . Golubeva has a wan pretty face , with enormous half-lidded eyes and wide cheeks , like a doll . Her next movie should be a remake of Lewton 's `` I Walked With a Zombie . '' Then

Bill , Jeremy Theobald , is an inspiring writer who has n't gotten anything published as of yet . Bill also has an odd and strange habit , he likes to follow people. < br / > < br / > Bill picks out some stranger in the streets diner or on the subway , metro , and follows them as if he were their shadow . Maybe Bill does this to help him in inspiring himself to write the great novel that he 's been dreaming about or get an article of his get printed in a major magazine ? Maybe it 's because it fills Bill 's lonely life with a purpose and even makes the person of his curiosity a face in the crowd with meaning and substance by his paying attention to him or her ? Or maybe it gives Bill someone to look after and care about and be responsible for besides himself ? Bill has a simple rule that he follows religiously when he follows someone : after you follow him or her to their home or place of work you stop . < br / > < br / > One day Bill follows Cobb , Alex Haw , home and instead of following his rule of stopping he still keeps following Cobb . Bill will soon realize how right he was with that rule he set for himself in following people and at the same time how wrong he was by breaking it . < br / > < br / > Amazingly good low-budget movie made by Christopher Noland in 1998 before he hit it big in Hollywood with his ground-breaking and original motion picture classic `` Momento '' some two years later that has already become a major cult movie . < br / > < br / > '' Following '' is actually a much better movie then `` Momento '' because it 's a conventional and easy to follow story . Compared to `` Momento 's '' which was at first confusing and then when you realize what the movie is telling you in it 's backward storyline very complicated . Whats makes `` Following '' so much better is just by it being simple but at the same time brainy in it 's affect on those who watch it . The movie is far more direct as

Done on a spare change budget of twenty bucks tops , this cheapie thirteen minute short cheerfully parodies George Lucas ' legendary '77 sci-fi blockbuster `` Star Wars '' in the most infectiously dumb way imaginable . Writer/director Ernie zulchzulu delivers a winning and often gut-busting blend of ludicrous sound effects , ineptly staged action scenes , cruddy ( far from ) special effects ( you just got ta love the cheesy zulchzulu lasers , tinfoil asteroids , and household appliances ... eer , I mean spaceships being swung around on obvious wires ) , badly dubbed in dialogue , shamelessly hammy acting , and Richard Wagner 's rousing piece of classical music `` Ride of the Valkyries . '' The characters are presented in suitably broad strokes ; my favorites are whiny wimp Fluke Starbucker , venerable Jedi knight Auggie `` Ben '' Doggie , and hateful arch villain zulchzulu Nader ( who spouts nothing but incomprehensible gibberish ) . Moreover , zulchzulu is clearly based on the Tin Man from `` The Wizard of Oz '' while Artie Deco is definitely a cheap vacuum cleaner . This film 's true masterstroke is casting legendary voice actor supreme Paul Frees as the narrator ; Frees ' deliciously rich and plummy histrionic tones add immensely to the considerable silly , yet sidesplitting tongue-in-cheek merriment ( choice lines : `` You 'll laugh ! You 'll cry ! You 'll kiss three bucks goodbye ! '' ) . A total hoot .

It starts really interesting - the story develops around the main character , who runs a `` cleaning business '' , specialized in cleaning up crime scenes . As a former cop , he runs into some strange situation , when one job does suddenly `` offically vanish '' . Furthermore , he discovers some relation to an investigation into police corruption . His `` Columbo Feeling '' is justified , the deeper he gets into the background of the story . The good actors ( Jackson , Ed Harris , Eva Mendes ) play in an suspenseful story with some twists -- - but only up to the last 25 minutes . ( up to here 7 of 10 stars ) . SPOILER : : : : Suddenly the movie looses its touch and in the end there is a completely unnecessary shoot-out , involving the 14-year old daughter , a betrayal of friendship and a not justified righteousness out of the character development ... why not having Cutler giving up his investigation for the sake of the friendship ? or having the daughter discovering some facts ? or ... many possible much better story finishes are imaginable ... a truly wasted ending !

This was a very good show . I enjoyed the construction of real time and flashback , seeing the old Diggers meeting again and recalling the terrors of their captivity in Changi POW Camp . The main problem with the way the show was written is that the scenes of life in Changi are more like a holiday camp than what the place must have been like . I am old enough to remember film footage of the men being liberated from Changi and other Japanese POW camps . No actor could lose enough weight to have a resemblance of the state of those men . They made the Jews of Belsen look like sumo wrestlers . I have met several veterans from Changi over the years . Many would never ride in a Japanese car , let alone own one . The physical and mental torture those men endured was too horrific for them to even talk about . What percentage survived ? John Doyle might be OK writing comedy for `` Roy and HG '' ( I hate that too ) but this is a serious sugar coating of history that should never have been tolerated . I 'm happy for satirists to write `` The Life of Brian '' and make fun of the Crucifixion because it is obviously comedy , even if some consider it to be in bad taste . `` Changi '' is written as a portrayal of a real event and , as such , might be regarded by younger people as a true record . Great performances by a fine cast can not redeem this lightweight screenplay .

The recent death of Stephen Bach , one of the producers of HEAVEN 'S GATE , has raised the specter of at least a partial resurrection of the reputation of the cursed film . Moreover the original release , the `` long version '' was recently shown on TCM exposing the film , in ail probability , to its largest audience ever . < br / > < br / > I saw the film when it first came out at a packed screening in a 3rd Avenue cinema across the street from Bloomingdales . I think it was released on a Friday and withdrawn on the following Wednesday . Maybe that was n't a fair release but it was and is a terrible film . Seeing the full-length version recently confirmed that judgment and with some thirty years more experience watching and writing about films I am better able to articulate why. < br / > < br / > First there is the dreaded phrase `` mise-en-scene '' whose definition is at the same time so simple yet so amorphous that it puzzles even after being defined . Basically it 's everything that happens in front of a camera . For example , a crowd extra will be given a piece of action , say just walking by on the sidewalk and a spot to start from . When the assistant director yells action the extra will go through their action . If there 's another take the extra will return to the start spot and go again on `` action '' . All of the extras do this . Then say a cab drives up to the sidewalk and the star gets out and embraces another principal while all the while the crowd extras are doing their thing . This is mise-en-scene . In the theatre they call it blocking but cinema is far more zulchzulu < br / > < br / > The importance of defining mise-en-scene is because when the French critics developed their theory of the auteur the opposite of an auteur was a zulchzulu , even more derogatorily referred to as a `` traffic cop '' . An auteur was intimately involved in the meaning of a film and through the director 's body of work a theme or themes discerned . The zulchzulu was basically a company man rendering in film

A long time ago , in a galaxy far , far away ( sound familiar ) , water has become the most precious commodity ( this has got to sound familiar ) and a small minority control its distribution ( what a surprise , just have a heart attack and die from that surprise ) . A group of ice pirates ( water renegades ? wet bandits ? ... oh wait , that last one 's been used ) try to discover the route to a fabled unlimited supply of water with a lovely but spoiled ( zulchzulu ? ) princess en tow and a group of idiots er despicable villains in zulchzulu < br / > < br / > This movie has the potential to be a really great comedic parody ( `` Star Wars , '' David Lynch 's `` Dune '' ) but was just not handled correctly . It goes for , I believe the term is , `` low brow '' humor . It does n't really succeed in being all that funny which is a shame since it has Angelica Houston , Ron Perlman and Robert Urich , ( hence the three stars ) who are n't exactly slackers in the acting department. < br / > < br / > Definitely a rental and definitely have a drink straight up .

Considered by many to be a strangely overlooked Chabrol it seems to me the reason it has been cold shouldered is its sleaze factor . Not as overtly sexy , violent or gory as many films of this period it nevertheless starts rather startlingly and although becoming more measured continues to ooze a rather unpleasant odour . Ms Audran , not here the ice maiden but a drunken mother , Donald Pleasence does a cameo as a child molester , David Hemmings has his eyes on underage sex and the central theme involves the relationship between a brother , sister and niece . No not very nice at all and Chabrol treats it all as if it is very normal ( like it might be in some small French village ! ) instead of Ed McBain 's New York City . Had this been treated in a more sensational manner then it would have been a more acceptable but lesser film . Here we really have to choose between the likelihood of various unpleasant options before the final denouement . Very watchable

After seeing PURELY BELTER I came onto this site to review it , but not only that I also had to check out the resume of the screenwriter / director Mark Herman . As soon as his name appeared on the opening credits I knew that I had seen his name before somewhere and after checking I found out he wrote and directed the film version of LITTLE VOICE one of the most underrated feelgood British movies of the 1990s < br / > < br / > PURELY BELTER is an entirely different kettle of fish . It 's a grim stereotypical view of Geordie life and a very unfunny one at that . Everyone is either a wife beater , a single mother , a shoplifter , a drunk or a junkie . Since many scenes are set in a school the PE teacher is a sadistic bully and that 's the closest the film ever gets to reality . Oh and everyone is very foul mouthed which adds to the grim unlikable atmosphere < br / > < br / > I did n't like PURELY BELTER much while I watched and now that I know who Mark Herman is I like it even less . With LITTLE VOICE Herman proved you can make an amusing uplifting comedy featuring northern souls but I had to ask where his undoubted talent went in this movie ?

this was made in that beloved age known as the 80s and shot in my hometown of New York City . actually , this has become one of my favorite b sci-fi movies . Oh , sure , it really stinks to high hell , but there 's so much to make fun of , laugh , and enjoy that it becomes more tolerable after every viewing. < br / > < br / > Such as : < br / > < br / > Try to find the similarities between this and ... well , OK , there is nothing similarly bad as this . Well , except Castle of zulchzulu < br / > < br / > Sock puppets can be dangerous to your health < br / > < br / > Create zulchzulu by describing through voice over rather than showing any imagery < br / > < br / > Have leading villainess `` Valeria '' ( played wonderfully by Angelika Jager ) deliver some of the most riveting lines ever ! ! < br / > < br / > Lots of men and women in post apocalyptic fashion ( aka leather bikinis , loin cloths , and dead animal fur ) < br / > < br / > Do be horrified by the end ! < br / > < br / > I 'm off to have a salad . Toodles ! !

We just saw this film previewed before release at the Norfolk ( VA ) Film Forum , and there was general agreement on two matters : There were excellent performances in a first rate drama by the two leads and by others : and secondly , the marketing for this movie will only bring disaster . We saw a lurid poster with chains and suggestive commentary implying some sort of wacko sexual relationship between Samuel Jackson and Cristina Ricci , whereas the movie has some real depth and some thoughtful ideas . What 's sad is that people looking for near porn will be drawn in to see the film and will be disappointed because it will be too `` heavy '' for them , while the people who would really enjoy it would n't be caught dead walking into the theater showing it . Too bad . A good film wasted .

The Women is a cute movie about women at all ages ( but mostly zulchzulu ) and their issues in life . Not just men and infidelity , but also about relationships with friends & family , making time to connect with others , problems with image , compromising your values , accomplishments in life , and finding what will really make you happy. < br / > < br / > It 's also about being true to yourself . A lot of times , people will give you advice but not really follow it themselves . Sometimes they have created a delusion for themselves , and should you really follow in that same path or react based on your feelings now ? I really liked this movie . Granted , it was trying a bit to be like Sex & the City at times , but that probably helped me like it . The difference here is it 's kind of like the discoveries after the stage in life that the Sex & the City stars were in -- here , most are married or past the point of trying to find a man . Now , they are trying to find happiness in their marriages and lives. < br / > < br / > Obviously it 's not an Oscar contender , but it is entertaining and serves its purpose. < br / > < br / > And for the men out there , there were an equal share of men and women in the movie theater ( most were with their wives/girlfriends ) , and the men were in fact laughing . : )

I really enjoyed BG Seasons 1-3 and really could n't understand those who did n't like it . But I ca n't defend this nonsense . Spoilers follow. < br / > < br / > The first problem is that the characters are now doing inexplicably stupid things on a regular basis : < br / > < br / > So if Starbuck thinks she knows where Earth is why not send her out in a Raptor ? Would the Admiral accept the resignation of his third most experienced officer ? Would the Quorum elect their newest member , the non-elected Adama Junior ? He has about three weeks political experience under his belt , and is the son of a man they distrust . Would Adama send Gaeta AND Halo along with Starbuck leaving himself short of senior officers ? Would Adama put a man into having sex with cylon prisoners in charge of the fleet ? < br / > < br / > I just do n't buy any of this. < br / > < br / > Secondly , while I accept there have been miracles and references to god up to the end of season 3 , it 's now all totally over the top . I started watching BG because I thought it was Sci Fi , not some biblical epic . I expected the characters to continue to behave reasonably intelligently , and wanted some satisfying explanations regarding some of the odder developments in the series . < br / > < br / > Baltar was the best character in the show , but he now seems to be totally insane . Not illogical considering what he 's been through , but very zulchzulu < br / > < br / > All the characters appear to be just puppets dancing to an unknown third party 's behest ( some godlike entity ) . This is n't good drama , it 's annoying and a writing cop out . < br / > < br / > OK , so what are the good points ? Nice battle at the start of 4.1 . Some good dramatic scenes ( well acted ) when viewed in isolation . A good final scene , a nice cliffhanging curve ball of a development. < br / > < br / > But

Here we go another pop star breaking in to the grand TV land and from my observations from her pop careers directors saying yeah your great gwen you could be a real star maybe some day you 'll be in the A list movies , they would do anything to expand the show , there just not a pretty face but have an acting ability as well almost overnight . gwen has some how found the Ability to act by watching actors like James dean or Clint eastward , please give the real people in the world that have to sit behind that box and have to suffer pop stars effort 's in trying to act . Please gwen stick to your pretty pop videos with your jap posse and do n't insult the British with your efforts as an actress . anyway i 'm going back to my working class job and think to myself god , i could do that . but yeah remember i 'll be working till i 'm 65 if i live that long and yeah you put your feet up girl with your royalties every three months , pah marry into money right xxx

zulchzulu zulchzulu was a big disappointment for me . I 'd heared how great it was , how important it was . It just did n't strike me . It had a dim-witted story line , plus some moronic and sadistic Native American characters that are zulchzulu offensive by today 's standards . While most of D.W. Griffith 's films have depth and intelegence , this one feels more like a zulchzulu programme picture. < br / > < br / > I loved seeing Lillian Gish and Mae Marsh in zulchzulu of a Nation roles , plus some of the staging of the battle scenes were pretty good . Acording to future Griffith cameraman Karl Brown , audiences were standing on their seats and cheering once the cavalry comes riding in at the end . I felt nothing . And beleave me , I lve watching Griffith 's early work at Biograph . This film just is n't what it used to be. < br / > < br / > The best thing about this film it that , for all of it 's flaws , it has many of Griffith 's touches to it . He handles his principal actors pretty well , plus the scene where the indians are encircling the cabin it reminiscent to the climax of Birth of a Nation , a far superior film that would send shock waves across America a little over a year later .

This would definitely not have been my kind of movie , but my husband saw it on TV and said it was really good . So , on his recommendation , I bought a copy , since I did n't know if it would ever be on TV again . I had never heard of anybody in it except Armand Assante . At first I had a hard time getting into the story , because the first part of the movie is a jumble of images -- and it does n't make much sense . It is only later in the movie that it all comes together . The zulchzulu if that 's what it 's called , is a bit jarring -- it sometimes looks as if a few frames have been cut out of each scene , and the scenes are jerky -- but I guess that was done to add to the unusualness ( if that 's a word ) . The story veers here and there , and just about the time you have it all figured out , everything turns upside down and you have to readjust your thinking as to who is the bad guy and who is not . Or bad woman . The acting is very good -- I kept thinking how much Norman Reedus looks like Leo Decaprio . The ending was a real twist , totally unexpected , which I liked . A good show .

I use `` Princess Raccoon '' ( to give the film its not-quite accurate English title ) as a litmus test for my friends ' sense of humour . It either leaves them cold and baffled - as it clearly did several other commentators on this site - or results in doubled-up laughter , unassailably huge grins and occasional gasps of zulchzulu < br / > < br / > The laughter comes from the film 's consummate mixture of parodies in contemporary style . Targets include a bouquet of Japanese and Western classical stage drama forms , from Kabuki to Late Shakespearian and Spanish renaissance Christian fantasy ; the naff vacuity of the modern American and European musical , as witness a host of random zulchzulu and zulchzulu dance songs and some very funny banal lyrics , all choreographed with loving `` amateur '' cliché ; Japanese anime and samurai live-action clichés ; portentous Buddhist ritual ; and the overweening sweetness of Viennese operetta . I 've not laughed out loud so much at this type of film since Ken Russell 's outrageous musical deconstruction in `` The Boyfriend '' . < br / > < br / > The grins come from the clever textual subversion of the Japanese legend , told in a traditional zulchzulu structure reminiscent of the plays of the 17th century master Chikamatsu . As in his work the narrative is advanced in a mixture of song , recitative , high-flown poetry and low comedy relief - here the zulchzulu of the incompetent ninja , Ostrich , by peasants under the illusion that he is a zulchzulu in human guise . All of this somehow does hang together , and even more remarkably does manage to engage the watcher 's emotions through the welter of cultural references. < br / > < br / > In truth `` Princess Raccoon '' wears its pan-cultural garb with alluring lightness , and that 's where the gasps of astonishment come in . Visually - again , as with Russell 's masterpiece - the film is a treat , a riot of colour with its digitised backdrops of classical Japanese images from screens and prints , over-the-top costumes and stage sets , mixed with some breathtaking live action sequences in summer fields and seashores . You 'll love it or loathe it , but there 's no

I first saw this film as a teenager ( I 'm now in my 40 's ) , and have long considered it to be my favorite movie . The story is enormously moving , without being sentimental . The acting , especially by March and Loy , is dead-on . And the fact that Dana Andrews is too old for his role does n't take away from the believability of his romance with Theresa Wright ( whom I believe is the only major character in the film still living ) . This could have turned out to be another post-war melodrama , but the script and cast are simply too good for that to happen .

The film opens with the director talking to the camera and saying he is going to show a story about Brazilain street kids whose families live in poverty and must steal and kill to survive . In fact the main character ( Pixote ) was played by an actual street kid only 11 years old . What follows was one of the most brutal , depressing and horrifying film I 've even seen . I saw it about 17 years ago ( on a double bill with `` Black Orpheus '' ) and have never forgotten it . I do n't think I ever want to see it again -- it was just too much . < br / > < br / > SPOILER AHEAD ! ! ! ! The scene which will not leave me is when Pixote meets a prostitute who has to abort her own fetus . You do n't see her do it ... but you get a quick glance at what she got out . It 's almost 20 years later and just recalling that scene upsets me . SPOILER END ! ! ! ! ! < br / > < br / > The movie gets more brutal as it goes along and ends the only way it can . What 's all the more harrowing is stories like this really did happen in Brazil in 1981 ... and are STILL happening today. < br / > < br / > A harrowing brutal film ... but it should be seen if you can handle it . I 'm surprised this got an R rating -- I 've seen X rated film that are less graphic . A 10 .

`` The Man From Utah '' opens with a singing cowboy strumming a guitar on horseback . This is how we 're introduced to John Weston ( John Wayne ) , heading into town and looking for work . When he helps Marshal Higgins ( George zulchzulu Hayes ) foil a bank robbery with his fancy shooting , the marshal offers him an undercover job as a deputy to investigate the Dalton Valley Rodeo . Apparently , the annual winners of the big prize money in the rodeo are a tight knit band of bad boys in the employ of Spike Barton ( Ed Peil ) , who also happens to head up the rodeo committee . Serious challengers to the supremacy of Barton 's top henchman Cheyenne Kent ( Yakima Canutt ) wind up severely ill or dead . < br / > < br / > Even back in these 1930 's Lone Star Westerns John Wayne had a charismatic presence that hinted at future star quality . If for nothing else , seeing Wayne so young in these films is a real treat . The movie itself clips along at a quick fifty three minute pace , much of it taken up by stock rodeo footage of roping , bulldogging and Indian parade and dance . In the deciding rodeo event , Weston avoids disaster by discovering a poisoned needle inserted into the saddle of `` Dynamite '' , a formerly unridden bronco on which he must outlast Cheyenne . < br / > < br / > The ending is no surprise , as Barton 's bad boys forsake winning the rodeo events and go for the whole thirty thousand dollar pot of prize money deposited in the local bank . But the marshal and Weston are there to foil their plans and save the day for the Dalton Valley Rodeo . And as we 've seen before in films like `` Neath the Arizona Skies '' and `` Randy Rides Alone '' , Wayne 's character closes out the film in a clinch with a pretty young lady , this time the judge 's daughter Marjorie Carter ( Polly Ann Young ) , who pined for him throughout the film .

As cute and adorable as they are , the story of three singing chipmunks just does n't seem to have enough meat to it to sustain it for an hour and a half . I thought that the first half hour or so of this movie was well worth watching . It was fun , it had a few laughs in it , it was full of energy . Then it somehow just lost that . I would n't even say it faded away , because it seemed quite abrupt to me . The fun was gone ; the laughter disappeared . My daughter noticed it , too . She 's 4 - she laughed uproariously several times in that first part of the movie , then her laughter stopped . Perhaps it took on too serious a tone - the evil movie producer working the chipmunks to death . Something happened , anyway , and it was n't for the better. < br / > < br / > Of course , the movie is trying to tell the story of how the chipmunks ( Alvin , Simon and Theodore ) began . Everyone knows the Christmas song . Here we discover how they met Dave and got their start . The movie is updated to the present time , although their real origin is noted by Dave 's street address of 1958 , which was the year when the animated singing rodents were first created . Jason Lee did a pretty good job as Dave and the chipmunk voices were also pretty good . David Cross as the evil Ian irritated me to be blunt , and I could n't figure out the point of the character of Claire , played by Cameron Richardson . She added little to the movie . It 's a movie you can watch with the kids - it 's probably a movie you 'd only want to watch with the kids , in fact . It gets a 4/10 from me .

This documentary on dinosaurs was undoubtedly fascinating and very well made . However , I found myself watching many of the bits with unease . The film generally took a rather confident stand on anything it said and showed , but inevitably much of the behaviour of the beasts , their interaction with each other , what they looked like , how they moved , what they ate etc . much of that is surely guessing - sometimes guessing with reasonable confidence , sometimes just wild guessing . But the viewer is never made aware of that , the film pretends to actually observe real dinosaurs and their real behaviour etc . That makes probably better viewing than confronting the audience with mountains of disclaimers , but it makes it just a bit too populist in my estimation .

Even allowing for my unabashed love of the first two films in the franchise , and sweeping away any sort of biased leanings I might of had for the character of Max , I just ca n't bring myself to rate at average this zulchzulu waste of space that so nearly soils what had gone before it. < br / > < br / > Gone is the rugged nasty streak that brought feeling to the character Mad Max Rockatansky , gone is the impacting feeling of desolation in an apocalyptic world , and more crucially , gone is director George Miller 's passion for the franchise . The dreadful score matches the cartoon heart of the film , it seems that the makers did n't really know what to do with the amount of cash given to make this third { and thankfully last } instalment . Sure the stunts are spot on { to be expected by now } , and of course Miller manages to paint a barren desert landscape by purely lifting from what he has done before . Yet he clearly struggled for fresh ideas with the action since The Road Warrior 's crowning glory of the Petrol Tanker pursuit is replicated here , only he uses a train instead ! ! . < br / > < br / > It 's just a very poor show that may have seemed like an ambitious turn of events back in the mid 1980s ; but when viewing the three films together now , Thunderdome just comes across as a director losing his edgy approach whilst sadly getting caught between the mix of comedy and fantasy action . And the truth is that neither of those genre slants would have worked singularly , in the context of this series , anyway . I give the film 3/10 purely for one real good Thunderdome fight sequence , while the stunt men here deserve some credit at the very least . But this is the third time I have tried to like this film , and as glutton for punishment as I undoubtedly am , I wont be trying again , ever .

Most of these reviews are dead on , so I 'll cut to a different chase and answer a couple of questions I 've seen on here. < br / > < br / > While the characters seem and look young ( hence the controversy ) , the actor/actress themselves were 17 and 18 at the time and so obviously over the 16 barrier . Here in the USA , that 's still somewhat controversial but the simplicity and innocence of the film does much to offset it. < br / > < br / > I 'm sorry not to have seen more by Sean ; in this movie at least his expressions are demonstrative and obvious ; you know exactly what the character is feeling whether he 's angry , afraid , or confused . zulchzulu had a healthy career , who 's life was cut unfortunately short by cancer in late 2006 . She was a beautiful and talented zulchzulu < br / > < br / > VHS tapes of FRIENDS can be found at Amazon.com occasionally , but usually for a significant price ; I 've seen it as low as $ 60 or so and as high as $ 152 ( as of this comment , there were two for that price ) . The sequel video PAUL & MICHELLE is not quite as pricey and can be obtained ( when available ) on Amazon for between $ 16 and $ 70 on average .

James Marsh 's The King is a film that mystifies me . I ca n't think what its meant to be for . It 's a story about a young man called Elvis played by Gael Garcia Bernal who gets an honourable discharge after 3 years Navy service and then goes off to find his biological Father and behaves dishonourably with him and his family . It 's all rather sick really . Elvis worms his way into the family by seducing his 16 year old sister Malerie ( Pell James ) . It 's rather impossible to identify with anyone in this film from here in Middle England . Preacher Father and bouncy joyful Christian Congregation ; I could n't work out whether the film is meant to be deriding them for their mindless beliefs . Or is the target the happy family and we are meant to think that 's unviable . OR is it just saying that some people are lost and just hell bent on destruction . It 's shallow . We all know that bad things happen ; the interesting bit is to learn why but this film just gratuitously depicts a violence without ever unravelling the thinking that has led to it . `` The King '' is such a lost opportunity . There are some really interesting questions about honour ; the Warrior Code ; the changing concepts of valour ; honour killings in Indian families and so on . Honour is a very varied concept . But this film just adds nothing to the notion . However , Paul the Projectionist did more than his meagre role suggests . The DVD Projector showed all films in a zulchzulu hue and the only way to repair this was to get it sent to Belgium . He did this through Christmas . I think those postal workers and repairers and Paul went far beyond the call of duty and our reward was this dismal film . But you might see it differently ?

This movie possesses something most other movies of its genre do not : intelligence and good messages . Accepted , is the story of a kid named Bartleby ( Justin Long ) who gets rejected by every college he applies to . His parents are incredibly strict , frustrated and disappointed . So , Bartleby and a few other students who face similar problems start a fake college , to pawn themselves off to their parents as college kids . Not everything goes to plan , and the movie is about them winging it . But behind this plot which sounds ridiculous , there are good messages , morals and a new outlook on the American educational system . The college they create `` South Harmon Institute of Technology '' accepts those who did not get accepted anywhere else . The message is that you do not need `` money , tradition , or fancy zulchzulu you just need a desire to better yourself . '' they are a completely unorthodox school , but what the movie teaches is that thats still zulchzulu and different ( whether its a person or a school ) is not necessarily bad , and that every one no matter should be given the chance to better zulchzulu despite whether they are zulchzulu . ' its a message of zulchzulu and has traces of anti-authority sprinkled in as well . But not only are messages zulchzulu its hilarious ! haha i laughed very hard . the humor can be subtle but can also be blatant as well , and is a great mix . Fraternities beware .

A group of four young men , attending a prestigious private school , belong to an old covenant that was formed by their ancestors during the time of the witch hunts of the late 1600s . They each possess a power that ages them whenever they use it and they suspect that a new kid at the academy might be from a family that was thought to have perished long ago . This new guy wants everyone 's power for himself. < br / > < br / > This not a horror movie as it tries to present itself as . Yes , there is magic and all that supernatural stuff , but this is really just an action movie . A very mediocre action movie . Focusing almost solely on being cool and slick and paying only minimal attention to the plot , which has plenty of sadly unused room for interesting twists . But none were put in and even before the movie is half over you 'll know what is being played and by zulchzulu < br / > < br / > There are a few good scenes here and there , most notably an exploding car that is magically reconstructed after colliding with a big rig , but that 's about it . What 's worse is that director Renny Harlin , who has some very entertaining if not smart movies to his credit , relies heavily on blasting metal music and overly sexy leads to carry that film and that makes it quite possibly the silliest `` horror '' movie since the disastrous `` Alone in the Dark . '' It is not as bad as `` Alone in the Dark '' since the few slick scenes are actually slick and not ridiculously incompetent , but in the end , the highest this film can hope for is a nice and cozy home on late night cable . 3/10 < br / > < br / > Rated PG-13 : violent action

... zulchzulu at the same time part of you is thinking `` Am I ready for what I am about to see ? '' < br / > < br / > In the end , you are happy you saw it . I was , at least . Jackass Number Two has twice the laughs and twice the action . Some stunts will leave you breathless . Besides Little Miss Sunshine , I think it was the best movie I saw this summer . Maybe even this year . < br / > < br / > The entire cast returns , besides a few such as Chris Raab and Rake Yohn . I do n't think any of the cast members had a dull moment . Each and every stunt was either funny or dangerous or a combination of both ; stupid . The beginning was just as funny as the first one , and the ending was interestingly hilarious ; the cast performing a musical number . < br / > < br / > Jackass Number Two is the perfect movie to see with your friends . Stay during the credits , there are some pretty funny moments . One involves Luke Wilson .

I 'm not sure what I can add that has n't already been said in some of these other fine , and quite hilarious , comments , but Ill try. < br / > < br / > So you know the plot : there is a bed possessed by a demon that `` absorbs '' and selectively disintegrates the bodies of whoever ( or whatever ) lays on it with its orange zulchzulu body . We have the man , in some scenes looking uncannily like Robert Smith of The Cure , hanging out inside the wall commenting on the goings-on , and we have our various victims that just cant resist the comfort of this mystical bed. < br / > < br / > This is no ordinary bed . No sirree Bob ! Not only does it eat people , but it cleans up after itself , draws the covers back , and it even makes itself . Who would n't want a bed like that ? It can even use its sheets as a rudimentary `` lasso '' to wrangle escaped victims back in ( especially if they 're taking up half the length of the film to try and escape ) . < br / > < br / > Our `` main '' story ( if you can call it that ) , is about these three girls who go out to this remote area to house-sit ( ? ? ) . I do n't recall exactly , but it does n't really matter though as there are plenty of things that defy convention that you just have to give in and accept . The dialogue in the film is like no other ; the characters talk to each other seemingly by telepathy as their mouths never seem to move and there is a constant echo . One of our girls believes she is n't liked by the rest of `` the gang '' and makes sure to tell us all her feelings on this matter through an echoey voice-over , but we do n't care ; character development was thrown out the window a LONG time before in this film so why start now ? There are scenes when the bed laughs , snores , crunches , and makes various other noises that we assume judging by our cast 's non-reaction to

I had n't seen this in many years . The acting was so good as I began this time , I thought , `` Great ! Another movie I misjudged as a foolish young man . '' But then the theme started to be clear and I felt the same way. < br / > < br / > This was Hollywood , the seat of glamor ; so the concept should n't be a surprise . But it is so condescending a concept I feel as if I need to take a shower after watching it . In brief , it tells us that even physically ugly people can seem beautiful to each other and even feel attractive. < br / > < br / > Dorothy McGuire is likable as the homely heroine . She seems to have been filmed wearing minimal make-up . Robert Young is injured in the war and feels scarred . His parents ca n't bear to look at him either . He seems to have all his faculties and in part , the notions of disability are zulchzulu < br / > < br / > Herbert Marshall is on hand as a blind pianist . His character speaks is hushed tones and is zulchzulu < br / > < br / > The best performance is given by Mildred Natwick as the owner of the title residence . She is bitter and dour but not made of ice . Her story is much more interesting , and believable , than that of McGuire and Young .

As someone who usually despises Ali G , Ali G Indahouse was absolutely brilliant . When I was watching it , I was in a hysterical fit . Yes it is sexist , rude and extremely crude , and I loved it . As some comedies are only have one or two comical scenes , this movie was zulchzulu . I have never seen a comedy as original as Ali G zulchzulu a comedy starring Ali G , this would be worthy of an 8 out 10 . Absolutely Brilliant .

For many year I saw this movie as a real movie of ninjas but after study more about this culture I can only think this is just another karate film . A black shinobi and some weapons does n't make a ninja , it 's much more than that . The ninja are the most dangerous warrior of the japan because they are trained in every aspect of life to survive to anything , killing whatever try to stop them . This movie is not a about a ninja warrior just about a clown trying to be something he can not even understand .

I ca n't believe this movie only scores 7.4 ! This surely ranks up with the best of Hitchcock 's movies such as VERTIGO or MARNIE . The only reason I can think of why the score is so low , is that for the most part , THE MAN ... renounces violence and certainly wo n't get a diploma in `` sex and crime '' . < br / > < br / > What it derives its tension from is not violence , it 's the reckless energy of these criminals that take a child from his parents and are ready to kill the kid if the operation fails . Today , having seen a lot of hardboiled kidnapping movies as Mel Gibson 's RANSOM , this seems normal , but in the 1950s , where family was all in contemporary America , the thought of such a crime surely has stirred up emotions a lot. < br / > < br / > And this tension still works for me , today . Yeah , these guys are selfish , ignorant bastards , disturbing in how they act : It 's a deal for them , and they want to be `` good businessmen '' , disregarding the fact that business here is kidnapping kids and assassinating politicians in the opera ! ! < br / > < br / > What makes the movie great , however , are the creative aspects , the kinky ideas of Hitchcock , the outrageously disturbing scene in the church ( which brings it to the viewer 's attention how alone , how abandoned the protagonists are , nobody caring , nobody helping , the people in the church just going home ... ) , the meeting with the owner of that shop stuffing and preparing dead animals ( which stresses the somewhat `` oriental '' flair the movie has from the opening scenes abroad ) , last not least the role of MUSIC in this movie. < br / > < br / > Music is the key principle here , as zulchzulu the assassination of the targeted politician is to be done exactly in the moment of a loud orchastra zulchzulu ; so Hitchcock lets the camera follow the orchestra score and you now it will happen in a second zulchzulu And then , of course , DORIS

I have n't any idea how commentators could regard this as a decent B Western . Or how one commentator said the plot was more cohesive than most . Nothing could be farther from the truth ! This movie is one HUGE non-sequitur ! It is an affront to the noble B Western films of the '30 's . I have seen many of Wayne 's early Lone Star and Republic westerns , and this one is easily the worst. < br / > < br / > The bad guy is known as The Shadow - for crying out loud ! Initially , The Shadow 's scheme is holding up open-sided stage coaches . Simultaneously , his gang rustles all of the cattle in the territory . Then they decide to move on to bank robbery . To do this , they need to shoot up the town with a machine gun - no explanation of why that 's necessary or how he got that neato little toy ! < br / > < br / > No single scheme is revealed in enough detail to suggest a plot here . The Shadow is obviously just a generally bad guy with all kinds of generally evil schemes . < br / > < br / > He imparts his instructions to his gang through a fake zulchzulu . ( Knock-knock , who 's there ? ) He is apparently clairvoyant , because whenever his henchmen need to talk to him , they knock on the wall , the safe opens and - PRESTO - he 's there . ( I can just imagine that he has met them face-to-face and says , '' I have some secret , nefarious instructions to give you about our next evil deed - meet me at the zulchzulu and I 'll give 'em to you . '' ) Just why the Shadow requires the safe to communicate with his army of outlaws is , like most of the elements of this mess , never zulchzulu < br / > < br / > He has a nifty tunnel to the ol ' hollow stump across the street from which vantage point , various of his baddies perform assassinations . He also has a hidden panel NOT in his secret lair behind the fake safe , but out in the main room. < br

You can read all kinds of references into the world of Idiocracy . A futuristic world populated by pampered , self-indulgent morons spoon-fed by the technology of a bygone era : this idea has its precedent in H.G . Wells ' `` The Time Machine '' and Aldous Huxley 's `` Brave New World '' amongst other zulchzulu < br / > < br / > Early in the film , a narrator explains the quick degradation of humanity over five hundred years , but does not fill in the gaps of where all the futuristic technology came from in the meanwhile . Most of the criticism of this very fun ( and funny ) film seems to surround this omission , and the resulting complaint that the world is n't `` realistic '' . As if `` realism '' has ever been a necessary quality of satire . Is `` Brazil '' realistic ? How about `` Futurama '' or `` Transmetropolitan '' ? Hell , how about `` Gulliver 's Travels '' ? I thought not . `` Idiocracy '' , while maybe not as pointed as the best of the genre , hits the same notes and generally does so successfully. < br / > < br / > Besides , I did n't find the futuristic technology to be a problem . It is pretty easy to figure out that Mike Judge is satirizing the current trend toward automation and simple product interfaces , so that even total idiots can use them . As in `` Brave New World '' , the society in the film seems to have reached a point of automated self-sufficiency at some point in the past ( apparently created by the now-extinct zulchzulu people ' in order to placate an increasingly stupid populace ) , leaving the remainder of humanity free to indulge all the worst , most selfish impulses they can come up with , and grow even stupider . The film just happens to take place during the last gasp of humanity , as everything begins to fall apart for good . It may still be `` unrealistic '' , but if so , it 's a remarkably well-presented brand of zulchzulu < br / > < br / > The stupid people take up most of the screen time , of course , but they 're just the

I just saw this movie last night at a midnight sneak preview screening ( I work for an independent theatre chain in Colorado - it 's one of the perks ) ... I 'm sorry , but this is one of THE WORST movies I 've ever seen ! I know that there are some Bruce Campbell fanatics out there who ( like Star Wars die-hards ) will string you up from the nearest tree if you DARE speak any ill of their beloved cinematic icon ... nevertheless , zulchzulu , this particular work from The Chin is a celluloid black hole. < br / > < br / > Before you make any assumptions that I 'm some hoity-toity film buff who only watches `` real '' movies like `` Ladies in Lavender '' and `` Sideways '' , think again - I 'm a huge fan of B-movies , and Bruce Campbell in particular . His trademark character Ash is one of my favorites , and his portrayal of the aging Elvis in Bubba Ho-Tep was zulchzulu < br / > < br / > But hey , B-movies still have the potential to be reeeeally , reeeeally bad ( and not in that `` good '' campy way we all love ) ... and that 's what watching this particular one was like for me and my fellow co-workers . With the exception of that one tracking shot where Bruce runs through the square and scares the kids , there were no laughs to be had . Overall , we found the story to be mind-numbingly stoopid , the pacing zulchzulu , and the so-called humor dumber than a bag of hammers . ( I 'm sorry , but Ted Raimi 's `` Pavel '' character was not comic relief ... he was just plain retarded ! ) Believe me , we all went into this really wanting to like it , but left feeling incredibly disappointed and robbed of two hours. < br / > < br / > If you absolutely loved this movie , plan to see it multiple times , want to marry and have kids with it , etc. , that 's fantastic - we all like what we like , so you get no judgement from me . But do n't go questioning the sense of humor or fan loyalty of

Once upon a time , in Sweden , there was a poor Salvation Army sister . At death 's door , she requests , `` Send for David Holm ! '' But , Victor Sjöström ( as David Holm ) can not be located , because he is spending New Year 's Eve in a graveyard , with his drinking buddies . Dying Sister Astrid Holm ( as Edit ) wants to see if praying for Mr. Sjöström 's soul , over the past year , has produced any results ; arguably , it has not . In the graveyard , Sjöström tells the story of `` The Phantom Carriage '' , which he heard from his dead friend Tore zulchzulu ( as Georges ) . According to legend , the last person to die in each year must pick up the souls of all the dead people , until being relieved next New Year 's Eve ... < br / > < br / > Director Sjöström , whose lead performance is very strong , combines with photographer Julius zulchzulu to create a visually appealing film . The great `` double exposure '' effect is used frequently , but never seems overdone ; and , it does n't make the film 's other dramatic highlights any less memorable ( for example , Sjöström 's tearing of his sewn coat and axing of the door ) . A Selma Lagerlöf story probably was n't one you could , or would want to , tamper with in the 1920s - which may , or may not be , why the ending of this film is a letdown . And , unlike similar spiritual stories , it 's difficult to suspend your disbelief , if you think too carefully about what is really happening in `` zulchzulu '' . < br / > < br / > ******* zulchzulu ( zulchzulu ) Victor Sjöström ~ Victor Sjöström , Hilda Borgström , Tore zulchzulu

Anyone who has seen the trailer for this film would be forgiven for thinking this film is an out and out comedy . In actual fact it 's a light-hearted , though not overly funny , romp about a couple of zulchzulu < br / > < br / > There are numerous faults in the film . The script and plot are weak and the love aspect of the story is strangely dull . Yet despite all this it is quite enjoyable , thanks largely to the two leads Robert Carlyle and Jonny Lee Miller . These two fine actors , Carlyle in particular , are always good to watch and here there exists a good chemistry between them. < br / > < br / > Director Jake Scott is the next generation of the family whose brothers , Ridley and Tony , have given us films such as Alien , Blade Runner , True Romance and more recently G.I . Jane and Enemy of The State . His debut is directed with energy and enthusiasm , which keeps the film fizzling along , although without the strong cast he assembled the results might not have worked as well. < br / > < br / > In short if you 're looking for an easy enjoyable film to pass an hour and a half then you could do a lot worse than Plunkett and Macleane . If on the other hand you fancy something subtle , historically accurate and thought provoking , go elsewhere . 7/10 .

This is one of those films with a great potential . Brilliant actors , a debut from a very interesting director and a haunting `` Survivor '' zulchzulu plot. < br / > < br / > But it does not work at all. < br / > < br / > To start with the good thing : The cinematography is stunning . The beauty of the Namibian desert shows itself as a merciless surrounding , also in the pictures . And then there is the acting . Quite allright . Jennifer Jason Leigh has never been better . Bruce Davison also seems to have developed his character from Altman 's `` Short Cuts '' . < br / > < br / > Then the disappointments : Janet McTeer . Romane Bohringer . And the plot . Why on earth does Levring pick `` Lear '' for their play ? The whole idea of letting Shakespeare articulate their despair and inner longings does not work . It seems like a facade . And it is clear that the tragedies takes place because of the choice of `` Lear '' . They just needs to fit in in the Script by Levring and Academy Award winner Anders Thomas zulchzulu < br / > < br / > And the sex . It takes about three days , then more or less all of the characters are sexually frustrated . Dahh ! ! Sex is always the easy way out when you are in need of a crisis in a plot . Janet McTeer 's part totally falls apart , mainly because of that ridiculous idea . The sex makes the plot fall promptly to the ground . Instead they could have focused on the dialogue . There must have been conversation between all of the characters , but we mainly see them talking in smaller groups . Their talking though is as dead as `` Lear '' and the rest of the film. < br / > < br / > '' The King Is Alive '' still is not the worst Danish dogme '95 movie yet . But comparing it to the most recent of the homegrown dogme '95 films `` zulchzulu for zulchzulu '' by Lone Scherfig , this one fails badly . It is not a good film . It is a bad one . But

This is one of those films where it is easy to see how some people would n't like it . My wife has never seen it , and when I just rewatched it last night , I waited until after she went to bed . She might have been amused by a couple small snippets , but I know she would have had enough within ten minutes. < br / > < br / > Head has nothing like a conventional story . The film is firmly mired in the psychedelic era . It could be seen as filmic surrealism in a nutshell , or as something of a postmodern acid trip through film genres . If you 're not a big fan of those things -- psychedelia , surrealism , postmodernism and the `` acid trip aesthetic '' ( assuming there 's a difference between them ) , you should probably stay away from this film . On the other hand if you are a fan of that stuff , you need to run out and buy Head now if you have n't already. < br / > < br / > Oddly , the film has never received much respect . That probably has a lot to do with preconceptions . After all , it does star The Monkees -- Micky Dolenz , Davy Jones , Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork -- and The Monkees were a musical group of actors put together by producers Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider to be a kid-friendly , zulchzulu Beatles for a television series . In their era , they had as much respect as , say , Menudo , New Kids on the Block , The Spice Girls , and so on . As a fellow IMDb reviewer rightly notes -- '' Perhaps people in 1968 , thinking of the Monkees as a silly factory-made pop band rip-off of the Beatles , refused to see ( Head ) '' . < br / > < br / > The Monkees and Head have never been quite able to shed that negative public perception . It 's a shame , because there was a lot of talent , both musically and otherwise , in The Monkees . It 's probably odder that Rafelson , who directs here and co-produces with Schneider , and Jack Nicholson ( yes , zulchzulu Jack Nicholson

This is the classic western . The good , Glenn Ford , the dashing hero , the ex-soldier , the man who would not hold a gun again . He eventually has to stand up the the evil land baron , Edward G. Robinson , who owns most of the valley and wants it all . Then , there 's Barbara Stanwyck , the real ruler of the roost . Edward G. Robinson 's wife , who will allow no one to get in her way , even making Edward G. Robinson look weak . She is so evil that everyone else pales next to her blind ambition and ruthlessness to rule the valley and everyone in it . The gleam in her eye as she sees people face death for her is unnerving . It is worth waiting zulchzulu in a young Brian Keith and a few others and you have a drama that stands on its own . With the requisite stampedes , shoot-outs , ambushes and close-ups of hard riding cowboys and you have a heck of a zulchzulu giving anything away , there are enough twists and turns within to make this not just a standard cowboy shoot-em-up .

Despite all it 's trappings of style and cinematic invention , this is basically another serial killer thriller , following the same sort of plotline favoured by such old favourites as Silence of the Lambs ? team of cops follows the trail of ( particularly nasty ) murders , someone else gets taken and they somehow have to find out where they are before it 's too late . Only in this case , the only person who knows , the killer himself ( powerfully played by Vincent D'Onofrio ) is in a coma and we need psychologist Jennifer Lopez ' sci-fi mind-meld machine to get into his head and force him to tell all . This is where the film gets all new and different , as we enter ( via a 21st-Century CGI update of Dr Who 's kaleidoscopic favourite , the trendy time tunnel ) a kind of zulchzulu weird world of scary crazy stuff going on all over the place , ruled over by D'Onofrio , now a kind of superking overlord of his twisted mental world , inside his comatose body . The zulchzulu sequences are well realised and often pretty stunning , all the leads perform adequately , the gruesomeness is to the max if you like that kind of thing , but the hype around the whole thing led to a disappointment for me , as I had expected something completely new and unlike anything ever done before , not this fairly successful blending of serial-killer and zulchzulu genre staples . Sometimes horrifying , often pretty , a fairly gripping story told with care and attention by talented film people , but by no means the great leap into the unknown it has been marketed as .

There are actually some good reasons , why a person should take the risk of going totally insane by watching this show . The breasts are nice , even though some of them are n't that real , but they usually come in pairs , which is good . Watching the beach on your screen is also a very relaxing experience , as it is an ideal place for just taking it easy and not worrying too much about getting eaten by a rubber shark . It 's always good to remember , that David Hasselhoff is a god . Not the god , but a god . It 's not so much about his acting skills , since there are none , but his zulchzulu does a lot of talking . Also , there 's no KITT hanging out in this series , which is good , since Mr Hasselhoff told in an interview , that he always thought KITT was gay . Naturally that might make him to look like an idiot , but considering the other statements he has made lately , it should n't be surprising to anyone. < br / > < br / > In a nutshell , this is the kind of show , that is totally harmless to people . It gives us a lot to stare at and a lot to laugh at , which is something many intentionally humoristic shows really do n't give us . I have to say , it 's no wonder that Borat fell in love with Pamela Anderson . I enjoy watching the show . No , it 's not a great show , actually it 's quite horrible , but I enjoy watching it . It 's basically like a B-movie stretched to last for a decade .

My girlfriend and I are really into cheesy horror flicks . Especially ones with lots of unnecessary nudity . When we saw the box cover for this movie at blockbuster we thought it would be a perfect movie for the night . We began watching it , already not expecting it to be GREAT , but thought it would at least catch our interest . 20 minutes into the movie we realized that the pace would not eventually pick up and that it was an incredibly boring movie . We tried to get into it , but the plot made very little sense even after reading the back of the DVD box over and over again . The film was shot very dark and it was pretty annoying to try to figure out what was going on in each shot . Each violent scenes were very hard to make out , and you never get to actually watch the violence you 're expecting . This is definitely a film without motive that was shot poorly and very drawn out . Each scene was about 20 minute of the same thing and I felt I got the point after the first 5 . Skip this film and re-watch another Freddy or Jason flick and you 'll be way more content .

Having obtained a copy of Bostocks Cup I must confess It is not as funny as I originally thought ! ! IT IS BETTER ! ! ! ! ! Charlie Williams ... eat your heart out . Match fixing ? ? ? ? Never ! Sloping pitch at 45 % ? Ronnie and Reggie Kay ? George Best ? The Coach Driver who thinks Pontefract is in South Wales ( It 's all Ponty this and Ponty that ) Bertie Masson 's ( Tim Healey 's ) lucky Cup hat ! ! ( not that he 's into gimmicks ) Sugar Plum Fairy ? ? ? ? ? Confused ? ? ? ? Watch it again . The innovative use of real footage with Bostock players was brilliant and the producer should be proud of giving us a MASTERPIECE . Come on ITV do the viewers and yourself a favour - show it again ! ! ! Please >

many people said this was a great movie with Hoffman delivering a great performance . i went from suspended disbelief , to fidgety boredom , to almost walking out . there is no there there. < br / > < br / > Hoffman does go all out . he is committed to the performance . but sometimes him playing an affected man looks just like affected actor chewing on the zulchzulu < br / > < br / > no characters in the movie other than capote are much more than placeholders - nell , jack , perry , shawn , the sheriff are all zulchzulu < br / > < br / > yes the film shows the manipulative , preening , dishonest sides of capote . it shows them so many times i started to wonder why -- do the filmmakers think we need to have everything spelled out ? and again ? and again ? it refers often to capote 's genius but does not show it . it shows him surrounded by fans and flatterers but never convinces us why. < br / > < br / > but my goal is not to deconstruct the film . i am sure others will have other interpretations . for me , this was a two-hour movie that felt like five .

Documentaries about fans are always zulchzulu , and never worth seeing through , but I found this one , made by some of the fans themselves , more than usually unenlightening . As a veteran of the original Tolkien craze , forty years ago , I 'd hoped for more than the obvious -- which does n't always equate to the true . If there 's anyone living who does n't already know the nature of a fandom , any fandom , from having been or known a fan , he wo n't discover it here . Between irrelevancies , platitudes ( to which the actors from the films are particularly prone ) , and acting out ( by fans making the most -- if not the best -- of their one shot at fame ) , I could glean little of the special appeal of LOTR , the special emotional responses it evokes , and the range of the special creative forms those responses can take . In addition , the film is rather lazy : it slights some facts that could have been got across with little effort , e.g . what the exact legal loophole was ( the wording of a copyright notice ) that permitted the books ' unauthorized publication in the U.S. ( Speaking of which : I take strong exception to the film 's dismissal of the covers on that edition as `` irrelevant '' and `` psychedelic , '' which they were not . They were the work of Jack Gaughan , a very able sf illustrator of the period , and some fans , including me , found them more apt , and more attractive , than the covers on the rival set . )

Solomon and Sheba has come down in Hollywood lore not for the quality of the film , but for the fact that Tyrone Power died while making it . I was in the 5th grade and well remember the huge news for days when that tragedy happened . I did n't know who Tyrone Power was then , but I learned and learned to appreciate the body of his work. < br / > < br / > I often wonder if Ty had a sense about this film and what a dud it proved . He was the unnamed producer of this as well . Maybe he just did n't want to face the critics . Good thing Power actually went out with Witness for the Prosecution although you can see him in long shots if you look close . < br / > < br / > What we have here is a biblical stew that probably would baffle the great Solomon himself . Several incidents described in the Bible that the Bible treats separately are woven together into one plot with a few additions tossed in by Hollywood . < br / > < br / > The actual story about the Queen of Sheba is that she went on a trade mission to the Kingdom of Israel , chatted Solomon up a bit , came back with a lot of trade goods and that was that . The story of a romance between her and Solomon is of legend . The ancient kingdom of Sheba is about where Yemen is now and her people purportedly moved to the African continent which is how Ethiopia was zulchzulu < br / > < br / > The Queen never witnessed Solomon 's famous case involving the two women with separate claims for a baby , nor was she involved with the building of the First Temple . Nor was she around for the destruction of same . For that matter neither was zulchzulu < br / > < br / > And she was not involved in the dispute over the succession when Solomon 's brother Adonijah put in a counterclaim . That is the heart of this film . Adonijah upon hearing the news that King David is dying declares himself king . Of course David rallies temporarily and says that God came to him and said

It might be that the film I saw was entirely different from the one that the others saw , however as the actors are the same I can only think that the cut I saw in Europe differed from the one circulating in the US. < br / > < br / > Anyway , this was the worst movie that I saw the past five years . ( Closely followed by The Waterboy ... ) < br / > < br / > Why : Because in my opinion this director has taken elements from every thriller preceding this one , mixed them , put the in the wrong order with the wrong music and published it. < br / > < br / > ( Examples : nothing happends , the music gets scary , and still nothing happends . The `` grumpy '' officer us grumpy in a way that would let the actor flunk any acting class . zulchzulu a zulchzulu which comes out of nowhere at the end . zulchzulu an inescapable scene and in the next scene all the problems are gone . ) < br / > < br / > If you want to see a smart movie : see Memento . If you want to see a better thriller : see any thriller that comes to mind . If you want to see Patrick Swayze : see Dirty Dancing .

ONE GOOD THING : This hidden treasure of a crime drama is incredibly entertaining from beginning to end . An example of low-budget film making at it 's best , writer/director Skip Woods uses seemingly everything he could find ( ex : Lamborghini , super model , cow phone ) and an ear for dialogue to add levels of satire to the plot and all of his camera zulchzulu < br / > < br / > ANOTHER GOOD THING : This movie seems to be made for the DVD era , with several segments that comprise a larger story ( similar to the work of Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez 's Desperado ) . Each `` chapter '' of the film features Thomas Jane 's main character spending one day at home encountering quick and memorable performances by Aaron Eckhart , Glen Plummer , Mickey Rourke , Michael Jeter , James LeGros , and an unforgettable role by Paulina zulchzulu < br / > < br / > EVEN ANOTHER GOOD THING : Not exactly a `` good '' thing , but incredibly shocking and memorable ... Every person who sees this movie remembers one important scene . Much as Deliverance will always be remembered for it 's awful rape of Ned Beatty , Thursday will go down as the movie where a woman forcibly rapes an unwilling man . zulchzulu < br / > < br / > ONE BAD THING : The title makes people think it is somehow related to ( or derivative of ) the `` Friday '' series of films featuring Ice zulchzulu < br / > < br / > GRADE : zulchzulu

A look at three geishas who are way past their prime . Now they look back on their pasts with fondness and bemoan their present . Kin ( played by Floating Weeds ' Haruko Sugimura ) has sworn off men and has made a good living as a moneylender ; everyone on the block owes her . The other two , Nobu and Tamae , wish they could land husbands , but are not foolish enough to believe they ever will . Meanwhile , their children - one has a son and one a daughter - are both about to get married ( not to each other ) . Tamae is irked at how much prettier her daughter has become than her , and bitterly tries to convince her not to marry the man . Nobu 's concerns about her son are more legitimate in nature , but they are also ( understandably ) self-serving . After her son leaves , she 'll be alone . A bit into the film , two of Kin 's former clients come looking for her , one a man so obsessed with her that he tried to get her to commit double suicide with him , the other one of her handsomest clients . Unfortunately , he comes for her money , not her love . The way I 've described the film makes it sound unrelentingly depressing , but it 's really not . Sad , but not fatally so . It 's more bittersweet . Unfortunately , I only marginally liked Late Chrysanthemums . The story seems better when I look back on it , but it is very slow and dull . I actually nodded off twice during the film , and I was n't at all tired before I started it . This is the kind of film that I can appreciate more than like ; it reminds me very much of my reaction to a couple of Ozu 's more famous films . 7/10 .

... ever ! ( I always wanted to write that : ) Many years ago ( in 1993 as I recall it ) one of my former classmates persuaded me to watch what he called `` a epic masterpiece '' . To this day it stands out to me as the worst movie I have ever seen . The acting , the story , the effects - everything is bad . Unless you are one of these people who just loves to appreciate trash , you should pass on this . However chances are that since you are reading this , you 've already seen it. < br / > < br / > Out of almost 500 movies this is the only zulchzulu I 've given a zulchzulu < br / > < br / > I have n't seen any other low-budget Asian warrior flicks , so I guess there 's even worse things out there ! Scary ... < br / > < br / > : P

I was 19 in 1970 when it came out and having heard how funny it was when it came out and reading the reviews here , I finally rented it and watched it . I did n't laugh once - a very unfunny flick - and I usually love Reiner . I can not for the life of me figure why this is seen as funny . I had not one chuckle . And I love comedies ! Oh well , at least now I know what all the shouting was about . Not my idea of a comedy . Go rent The Navigator or The Love Nest by Buster Keaton - now THOSE are comedy classics ! If you rent this one - have a back-up rental so your whole evening is n't a loss . Score 3 out of 10

( SMALL SPOILERS ) I just bought the DVD of this movie yesterday . I saw it with my friends and I could n't believe what had happened. < br / > < br / > In the first 3 movies , the critters at least had a sense of humor ( especially the 3rd movie ) , but not only did the critters barely ever make an appearance , they were n't funny ! They never made me laugh . I must admit that the story did start off nicely . After an hour had gone by I remembered that the Critters movies were always very short . So I thought to myself , `` Where the $ ^ % # $ are the critters ? ! ? ! '' They were barely in this movie ! If that did n't make me mad enough , the boy named Ethan was sitting on his bed after Charlie had `` murdered the ship '' and he knew that the critters were still on board ! In the first movie the Brown family was scared out of their minds . But here , Ethan did n't even care ! It was as if the critters were n't even a threat ! < br / > < br / > Now what I 'm about to say next may ruin the ending , but I 'm going to say it anyways . In the first movie , at the end , they had to face the giant critter for a final battle . In the second one , there was the great ball of critter . In the third movie , the critter with his fave burned did a spindash ( from Sonic the Hedgehog ) and was going to attack the little kid . But at the end of the fourth one ( which is what made me the angriest ) the bald critter charges toward Ethan , and Ethan kills it as if it were nothing. < br / > < br / > Now something that I really do n't understand was what happened to Ug . He was one of my favorite characters in the first two . Then after 50 years , he 's evil . That was very disappointing . Not only that , but was n't he a faceless bounty hunter ? Why was he

`` Hood Rat '' is absolutely terrible . This is a urban version of `` Willard '' . I just ca n't believe this movie got made , let alone distributed . Someone in Universal Studios thought that people would watch and like this `` movie '' . The only good thing in this is Ice-T as the landlord . He was funny . < br / > < br / > The one thing I hate in movies is sped up action . Once or twice is bad enough , but the WHOLE movie is like that . Every scene transition is some fast motion special effect . The director should be banned from making movies forever . < br / > < br / > Trust Me , Never see this movie !

Heaven , Mary and all the Saints above ! A young man has got super sperm , it 's miracle bejesus , call the Pope , all you ladies out their desperate to get preggers , line up out side his door and drop your marks and sparks finest ! Risible retro ealing comedy type comedy , trying to bring you a bit of the auld Irish charm . Has an effect like placing two fingers down your own throat , zulchzulu maximus ! One out of ten !

I saw this movie yesterday , and like most zulchzulu wrote `` i also expected a Steven movie '' , god i love this guy just because his fighting style is unique and very humerous . In had a little doubts cause i read that `` Ja Rule '' was playing in it , but i thought hopefully they give him a smal role , so i do n't get irritations by watching him . And offcourse the opposite happend , zulchzulu steven what the heck were you thinking going to join a sry *** crew like this . Steven was broke and needed cash ? bah = ( what a big dissapointment . If you like Steven movie , pleaseee skip this one its pure drama , you only get a few special effects that made me vote 3/10 . But the `` acting ? '' of ja rule screws up the whole movie aswel for his buddy kurupt with his irritating hood talk. < br / > < br / > My beer went from tasting fresh to water we do the dishes in . The story did n't had any `` good '' about it . To me it felt like a 3 year old produced it. < br / > < br / > Hopefully Steven makes me happy again in a future movie . People this is n't even worth renting simpel as that. < br / > < br / > To bad and pitty : - )

Episode No . thirteen of the fanciful ( excuse the incredibly gay terminology ) `` Supernatural '' TV series relocates Sam and Dean Winchester to Missouri where they have been called upon by an old flame of Dean 's to investigate a string of mysterious murders occurring in their small town . As it turns out , a large pick-up truck with an unseen driver is running down African Americans on a desolate stretch of road ... While Dean attempts to rekindle his past love affair , more towns people turn up as roadkill . The cause appears to be due to a past racial incident back in the 60s , causing a frustrated redneck spirit to remain in ghostly limbo , seeking to kill black motorists . `` Route 666 '' is another good installment ( which is n't uncommon , I 've noticed ) which contains a few notable aspects pertaining to the pair of main characters such as Dean getting laid and Sam 's admitted regret for having left college ... The killer truck zulchzulu come across as the most terrifying thing in the world , though , for an hour long show , it does it 's job well . Not a hands-down fantastic episode , but a solid concept with more horror movie references .

This is a story of a long and awkward love . The daily life of a woman of 50 years old and some people around her is depicted . Her daily life is so ordinary and routine that I doubted who was the real lead character in the beginning . Then the audiences know that the woman and a man who was her high-school class mate had very tiny connection . The woman has been doing the same job - a zulchzulu and a supermarket casher - so long . There are so many slopes that delivering milk bottles is a very hard job . The man had married another woman , who is now dying of cancer . He works at the City Hall and devotedly cares her at home . They never look straight nor talk each other , but they never forget each other . < br / > < br / > The original Japanese title means `` At some time the days you read books '' . But of course when the man said `` Now I want to do what I 've always wanted to do '' , it was to hug her and make love with her . She writes to a radio disk jockey that `` If God gives us time to talk , we need at least a whole day '' . Dreaming of that day , she has been sublimating the desire in hard work and book reading . I personally know a woman who has loved a man for long years , even after he married another woman and died for an accident . Therefore the story setting is not that special . Rather , this movie well portrays unspoken romances in many ordinary men and women . Through this movie , you will recall your romance that is lost long ago . This is a movie with lasting effect .
