One of the most boring movies I 've ever seen . Three immature young people have sex and talk about very little except their `` love '' of each other . They do n't seem to be interested in much but each other , and only passively so . I was left feeling shut out . Most of the exterior scenes take place at night , so one ca n't even enjoy well-lit sights of Paris ! I gave up after an hour and ten minutes .

The first review I saw of this on IMDB says that Vince Vaughn is a much better actor than Anthony Perkins was in this role . Makes me wonder if he saw the original . It 's tough to review Psycho if you do n't have the perspective of how revolutionary the movie was in 1960 . You have a heroine who is n't very likable and is killed not far into the movie and a villain who is creepy , but makes you feel for him . Add to that some graphic violence and you have a blue print for some of the slasher films of the 80s and zulchzulu < br / > < br / > Where does this film go wrong ? Let 's start with casting . Anne Heche is fine as a Vivian Crane , but as Norman Bates , Vince Vaughn is all wrong . For one thing , he looks far too young . Secondly , he has no idea how to play the roll . His nervous laugh reminds me of Ron Howard trying to play a tough guy on Happy Days . Everything he does screams I DID IT ! The original movie , even to those who know everything about it , still makes you feel uneasy about the influence of mother on Norman , and turns her into a real separate character . How about the shower scene . When I finally saw the 1960 movie on a big screen , I was surprised at its power to scare the heck out of me . Bernard Herrman 's score becomes incredibly shrill and loud and goes further toward scaring you than Danny Elfman 's synth interpretations during the scene . This shower scene merely serves to show us Anne Heche 's naked body and some nice color blood . Which brings us to the choice to film in color . Did n't work. < br / > < br / > There is something about remaking classic films that hardly ever seems to work . Some may see this as a noble experiment , but honestly , if Gus Van Sant had nothing to add to this film , he should have left it alone

Anne Heche is fine as a Vivian Crane , but as Norman Bates especially Vince Vaughn is all something . For one thing , he looks far too young . Secondly , he has no idea how to play the roll ....

generally speaking I do n't make negative comments on here . But since this is a festival piece , I do n't want you to waste your time when you could see something else that might not be playing again. < br / > < br / > I thought the actors were pretty bad . For instance , they totally did n't play off each other , rather , they waited to RECITE their lines which were pretty poor to begin with . The dialogue sounded really forced . Norman or whatever his name tried , or so it would appear , to be witty and biting in the lines he chose but just fell really short. < br / > < br / > After words he asked if anyone saw the ending coming and some people were all `` yea '' , and he all but called them liars . Look there were so many clues , the biggest being a briefcase full of cash for a $ 500 an hour whore . I mean the john gave her at least 20g 's ... tell tale sign . Now no you could n't see exactly what was going to happen but by the time the twist actually occurred , I for one , did n't even care . I was just glad to get out of there . I asked him which draft he shot and he said 8.1 , maybe next time he will wait to shoot 'til 15.3 cause this needed a lot of work. < br / > < br / > But he seemed like a fairly nice guy , he is making his own films , he 'll probably get better and I hope he does , not in a snotty way either , I mean it , I wish him luck . Just remember , this is just my opinion .

Blake Edwards tried very hard to change Julie Andrews image in this film . He tried to make her sexy not realizing she already was . I think they were both still a bit irked that Julie had not been chosen to film her Broadway success of Camelot and was passed over as not being sexy enough . Unfortunately , they chose this vehicle to try and assuage this belief . It gets to the point where it is almost funny seeing Rock Hudson , who we all know now was gay , kissing Julie every 2 minutes throughout this movie . It seems now that they were not only trying to make you believe that Julie was a femme fatale but that Rock was straight . Sadly , they have absolutely no chemistry together and the unending kissing scenes start grossing one out . The other error they made with this picture was not knowing what kind of movie they were making . It is almost three separate movies . There is the drama of Julie as the German spy trying to get military secrets from Rock . There is an air war movie with lots of footage of WWI vintage planes swooping about and there is the stupid attempts at humor that Blake Edwards seems to think he has to insert in every one of his pictures whether it is appropriate or not , In this case , it was not . The only truly redeeming qualities in this film are looking at the always lovely Dame Julie and hearing her sing in that crystal clear bell-like soprano . Of course if you love her , you may overlook the weaknesses of this film just because of her . You can always tell yourself , afterward , that it was a hell of a lot better than sitting through STAR !

It seems now that they were not only trying to make you believe that Julie was a girly fatale but that Rock was straight . loved , they have absolutely well chemistry together and the unending kissing scenes start highest-grossing one out . The other error they made with this picture was not knowing what kind of movie they were making . It is almost three separate movies . There is the drama of Julie as the German spy trying to get military secrets leaving Rock . There is an air war movie both lots of footage of WWI vintage planes swooping about and there is the stupid attempts at humor that Blake Edwards seems to think he has to insert in every one of his pictures whether it is appropriate or not , In this case , it was not .

The film successfully gives a graphic portrayal of the suffering of forced sex labour , but nothing more . The leftest agenda behind this movie could be seen a mile away and leaves viewer so embarrassed while watching if you know that feeling . So , the women are kidnapped and sent to ex Yugoslavian territory to work as sex slaves because ( take a deep breath ) the American military institution is corrupt and looks away while their private security contractors are selling people abroad . You do n't need half a brain to see the relevance to Iraq war and Black Water Company. < br / > < br / > What a load of leftest excrement ! Looks like I have been fooled all my life into thinking that this problem and many others were a direct result of Communism 's grip on this region for 45 years . But no , it was the American war on Iraq , which is also responsible for earthquakes , tropical storms , and the constipation I had last week. < br / > < br / > The film ignores the fact that 95 % of the sex trade is women willing to sell their bodies for money and entry to the western block . You also see scenes that are so stupid you want to pull your hair . We have someone chasing down a woman in the streets of London in broad daylight , beat her up , then somehow drags her unconscious body half a mile back to the apartment where he rapes her . No one sees this or calls the police , and the running woman does not care to scream during the chase . Even better , we later see 4-5 women lined up in the centre of London in zulchzulu broad daylight to be sold , one of them has a smashed face , and people are shopping in the background as if nothing was happening . You ca n't make this stupidity up. < br / > < br / > I used to think that such trash was exclusive to Hollywood , but apparently I was mistaken .

Loved this movie ! ! Great acting by Carla Gugino . Interesting story about a kidnapping that goes horribly wrong ( do n't they all ? ) . Some surprising twists and turns in the film and the plot was easy to follow without being so convoluted as to be totally incomprehensible . It was a totally unexpected delight . More `` zulchzulu '' than most films try to be .

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 movie had potential . If it had been handled differently . What it needed was a different director . That 's certain . And perhaps a different leading lady . I just ca n't understand the Minnie Driver character - or at least how she played it . She was completely unbelievable . I can not believe she would have liked her performance in this movie either . She was probably abandoned by the director or incapable of delivering what the director was trying to get her to do . I am writing this as I am still watching it . I 'm thinking I would have hated to be in her shoes trying to zulchzulu ' something I did n't understand . Well , we 've just proceeded to the affair she begins with the son ( I 'm still watching ) . I 'm now beginning to be profoundly embarrassed for everyone involved in this enterprise . If you enjoy watching movies that miss their mark in a big way , then watch this one .

This is one of the best horror movies i 've seen in a while . An eerie abandon house , interesting characters , gore and a twisted plot . Who could ask for anything more in a horror movie ? It is pretty predictable for the most part but then again most horrors you can figure out within the first 10 minutes so I wo n't hold that against it . The music , camera angles and so forth are excellent . The sets are well make and very convincing . There was pretty much no subplots however , it being a horror movie too many alternate plots only take away from what were wanting from a horror anyhow ... To be scared ... This one keeps it pretty simple and does just that . If I were to compare it to any other movie I would say it reminded me of the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre . Definitely a horror movie lover must see .

pretty disappointing . i was expecting more of a horror/thriller -- but this seemed to be more of an episode of dawson 's creek but with out the acting . there were some very impressive shots , though -- almost worth seeing . maybe future efforts will improve .

This is quite possible the worst movie ever made . I know people talk about how horrible Ed Wood movies were ( Plan 9 ) but this movie makes Plan 9 look amazing. < br / > < br / > Chuck Norris makes a cameo , for what reason I have no idea . Perhaps to ruin his movie career . Aside from Chuck Norris , the movie 's cast consists of extras in daytime soaps and Mike Norris ... that 's right , Chuck 's son. < br / > < br / > This director does n't even have a resume and I have no idea where the plot or screenplay originated . This must 've been green lit by a horrible Southern Baptist minister that somehow had a 3rd cousin that owned a studio ( which I 'm sure has since been shut down ) . < br / > < br / > I do n't really know what else to say about this movie . I would like to give you a plot summary but I 'm lost . There is something about Jesus and Satan ... some eternal battle . Other than that there are Indians . And a bunch of freaky kids that do n't know how to act ... they 're just awkward and should not be on camera . I do n't know what was going on most of the time but I know the movie was a great laugh . Mike Norris pushes his daughter ( on her bike ) into the street somehow ... but in the shot he 's in the middle of the park . So somehow she learns to ride her bike with speed equivalent to that of The Flash and gets hit by a car or bus ... I do n't know . But she 's dead . This is actually the funniest scene in the movie . I know that sounds sick but once you see Mike raise his hands in victory and then hold his head and scream in terror ... you 'll understand . It does n't show the daughter getting hit or anything ... you just have to assume she got hit by some vehicle . But , the movie 's not clear . So maybe it was completely unrelated and she died from cancer . Anyway ... after that

i think that it was just like Lizzie McGuire except that it was a lot worse than the original . the only thing that is different is that she likes animals and science and all of that geeky stuff . everything else is the same . she likes a guy that she is too nervous to ask out . and later she finds a guy that does like her and she has no clue . i think that people need to quit making that same kind of shows . and another thing that is the same is that it is always thaw the friends are two girls and one guy . do n't people think that these things get old and tired and these ideas keep being used over and over and yet they keep using these ideas . but i do know people who watch this show and i know that they like them .

Although the movie was only so so the closed captioning was by far the best I have ever seen ! Most of the time the spelling is terrible and the captioning out of sync . I use the closed captioning even though I can hear well but find a lot of actors mumble . Also many times the sound track overrides the dialogue . Thanks !

The only good thing about this film is they managed to tie it with Part one ! But other than that it was one of the worst films ever ! The only time you see the Ghoulies is in a flashback ( and the flashback is just clips from Part one ) ! A must NOT see ! On a One to Ten , `` Ghoulies 4 '' gets a One !

A friend gave me this movie because she liked it . I decided I would finally watch it . It was sooooooo long . I kept waiting for the suspense to happen but it never did . I kept waiting for something to happen after the opening scenes , and it never did . I stopped the movie and came back later . I actually forced myself to watch the rest of it hoping it would get better . It got worse . I kept asking myself , who are these people ? Do they have feelings ? are they just robots ? I 'm glad I did n't pay to see it or pay to rent it . The end would have been better if Dutch died from the gunshot wound . At least we would have gotten some emotion from the audience . Or maybe not .

I ca n't say how many times that one line has made me laugh or how often I 've described that scene to folks not familiar with this film . I saw it the year it was released , I was 19 . I do n't think there were a dozen people in that East Village theater that night . For years I thought we were the only ones who saw it . Nice to see here that others found it as hysterical as I had , and see it 's lasting value despite the time gone by . Rent it , buy it or steal it ... . a must see .

I felt last night 's episode was slow and kinda of boring at times . I honestly do n't think it has to do anything with the writing . Because I know the story was well staged and tried to keep things in place . I thought it was n't that bad but overall , I did n't enjoy it . The most blame has to do with the director of that zulchzulu Stephen Williams . I always hated Stephen Williams 's directing . If Jack Bender continues with this episode from the season premiere , he would have kept it in a good pace and keep things float to keep things interesting . I 'm glad Jack Bender is directing next week 's episode and it 'll be much better and I 'm glad he got first zulchzulu episode to direct and I 'm curious what he will pull off this time since Stephen Williams had directed too many zulchzulu episodes before. < br / > < br / > I always keep thinking that Stephen Williams needs to be thrown off from the show . He does n't even do anything interesting with the show. < br / > < br / > Why does the opening have to be done with a target thing while being in the helicopter ? IT was so BORING ! Bad perspective of camera work too !

I 'm glad Jack Bender is directing next week 's episode and it 'll be much better and I 'm glad he got first depakid episode to direct and I 'm curious what he will pull off this time since Stephen Williams had directors too many zulchzulu episodes night. < br / > < br / > I always keep thinking that Stephen Williams needs to be thrown off from the show .... He does n't even do anything interesting with the show. < ¢ / > < br / > Why does that opening have to be done with a target thing while being in the helicopter so IT was but BORING ! Bad perspective of camera work too !
I have just seen Caribe a couple of nights ago at the annual Vistas Film Festival held here in Dallas , and I must express my discontent . The opening caption tries to tell us that the film is a portrayal of the current invasion of South American countries ( Costa Rica , in this particular case ) by North American oil companies , and the negative effects , both economic and environmental , of this invasion . The main characters are a married couple who live a simple , pleasant life maintaining a banana farm . Right away , a woman arrives and announces that she is the wife 's half-sister . I 'm not going to go into specifics about this ( and to be honest , I do n't feel that I 'm spoiling anything with this review ) , yet another key point is that the company to whom they distribute their bananas drops them due to budget demands in a poor economy . So , the main conflict that is supposed to be addressed in the movie is of the husband between the rock and the hard place , trying to preserve his livelihood . On one hand , the Reynolds oil company has basically offered him employment and financial compensation ( basically a bribe ) to use his public influence to encourage the town to allow the company to begin drilling in their town ( compromising his standing with the community and the community itself ) . On the other hand , he is faced with being dead broke , but on the side of his community , protesting the drilling . Given the length of this film , it would have been ample time to explore the issues just described , but it just does n't happen , and I 'll tell you why . You will notice that this film has won a couple of awards so far , one for direction and an audience award . I 'm not going to pick apart Esteban 's direction , it was n't bad or good enough for me to be all that passionate about writing anything . The audience award was at a film festival in Spain , and for it to gain an audience award , I 'd have to imagine that Spanish people just dig soap operas . In fact ,

The most enjoyable parts of this film were the clips from the original movie . The acting was poor and the premise of sexual scorecards was revolting . The effects were marginal at best . There were no stand out performances , Amy Irving was put in this film to try and get a part of the Halloween H20 audience . The original was much more enjoyable and gratifying . I am sorry to say that this is not going to be one of the years 10 best ... so far it is at the bottom of my list . Do n't bother with this one folks ! !

This is definitely one of the weaker of the series of Carry On films . It lacks the usual fun and sparkle and even the cast seem embarrassed by the poor dialogue . By the time this came out , the series was in terminal decline and boy does it show ! If you 're coming fresh to this series , avoid this one till near the end .

Maybe we Aussies just have a totally different sense of humour and therein my lie the only problem here . I have a database of all the DVDs I own ( including those received as gifts - which this was ) and so , when entering a new one , I always refer to IMDb for such info as genre , runtime , director , leads etc . When entering this , I noted that it was a comedy and so I decided to watch it at a time when I wanted something light and a good laugh . Well , it was neither ! There were absolutely NO laughs at all and an inordinate amount of gratuitous profanity ( are there REALLY radio announcers allowed to broadcast the sort of filth that Steve Jones dishes out ? What if a decent child happened to tune to his station ? ) . < br / > < br / > Rather than enjoy a good laugh ( or even a little giggle ) I found the whole thing thoroughly depressing . I have given it 3 out of 10 but , to be honest , I do n't know what those 3 are for ! I suppose the basics of lighting and sound were n't too bad ! < br / > < br / > We have an ostensibly zulchzulu loser ( Giovanni Ribisi ) who still seems to be able to drive a reasonable car ( who pays for the fuel ? ) and live in what could be a nice apartment ( who pays his rent ? ) Given the opportunity of forming what might have been some sort of meaningful relationship with what turned out to be a nice girl , he even blew that ! Perhaps it was she ( Lynn Collins ) who earned this movie the 3 points ! The fact that she works as a stripper rather than a hairdresser is one of the few aspects of this movie that makes sense ( `` I make as much in one night doing this as I do in two weeks ' hairdressing '' ) . < br / > < br / > Unless you want to get depressed and bored to the teeth , forget it !

I thought this movie was going to be a disgrace to the series . After all , part 3 did n't measure up to part 2 , and this one does n't have Daniel Sawn . Miyagi 's humour was n't quite as witty in this one as in part 3 , but it was funny enough to make the movie worth watching. < br / > < br / > The girl 's part was pretty good . She 's a lost teenager who needs direction . I find the plot a little hard to believe . That the aunt would simply agree to leave her home and her niece under the care of Mr. Miyagi , a man she just met . Of course , he was a friend of her brother. < br / > < br / > I did appreciate the monastery . One might think from some of my other reviews that I would n't have liked the dancing monks , but I thought it was amusing . It showed that they know how to have some fun . Now if these were monks in ancient China dancing to pop-music , that would have been another matter. < br / > < br / > Probably the most intelligent part of the movie was when the girl thought it was stupid that the monks would n't kill a bug . Miyagi told her that street gangs killing each other is stupid , nations trying to destroy each other is stupid , but having respect for all life is not stupid . Miyagi has expressed such wisdom in the other films as well. < br / > < br / > I give this movie a 4 out of 10 . Sure , there were some things I liked about it . It was n't as funny as part three , and no character could ever live up to Sato in part 2 . This movie has no re-watch value . I ca n't imagine watching it again , but it is worth seeing once .

I saw bits and pieces of this on TV once , and when a friend recommended it , I began looking for it even though it seemed no place nearby had it . I finally got a hold of it in an antique store , and could n't wait to watch it ... Oh , that I had seen it a couple years earlier and could 've really enjoyed it . I was surprised that this movie was only 80 or so minutes long , and I think this is what made the plot and story so lacking . The plot really does sound like a good one , both on the trailer and the movie comments : a teenager , Angus ( Jesse Bradford ) and his newfound stray lab Yellow are marooned on an island during a storm on a boat trip with his father ( Bruce Davison ) . Together , they manage to survive the wilderness and wait to be found and rescued . Still , what is never mentioned is that everything is shortened and the events of the plot are very rushed . There is a possible love interest between Angus and Sara , but they 're never shown together for more than a moment . Yellow is a mischievous dog the parents are reluctant to keep , but in a few days he seems to be appreciated enough to join a boat trip . The scene of the mother ( Mimi Rogers ) mentioning vaguely what death is like to the younger boy ( Joel Palmer ) does n't go anywhere . In no time , we learn that 9 days have been spent on the island , then suddenly it 's 14 , then 19 . Of all the animals a castaway could be exposed to in the wild , only 1 kind - a wolf - attacks them . Why could n't something else have been a problem instead of having the same type of animal - maybe even the same one - strike twice ? There are few views of how Angus prepares food , except when he discovers fruit and roots , and when he roasts a trapped rat . If he knows so much about survival skills , why were n't more scenes with it shown ? The one thing that made me blank was why the dog

Even before this film it is clear to see that Ali G has become the exact character he set out to parody . I am not a fan of Sacha Baron Cohen 's character anyway but was curious to see how a man of so little talent was able to convince universal studios to fund a near 1 and a half hour feature film out of a 3 minute joke . < br / > < br / > A paper-thin plot is just a torrent of penis and marijuana jokes and I must admit I did cringe when I saw such respected thespians as Charles Dance and Michael Gambon stoop so low for employment . Saying that I must admit ( even if I am quite ashamed to ) that I did raise a titter on more than one occasion , and however bad this film was it was never boring , and never once did I consider switching it off ( mainly due to the gorgeous Rhona Mitra ) . Saying that , only watch this film if you are a teenage lad aged between 14 to 17 and you find dick jokes hilarious .

This is one of Peter Sellers ' best movies . Why is it never shown on TV or movie theaters ? Will it ever be released as a home movie ? Is it too derogatory for the medical field ? I would love to see this movie again . I would like my son , who is a doctor , to see it . Laughter is the best medicine and Peter Sellers is the best doctor for this .

The growth of tax funds and sale-and-leaseback schemes has led to a raft of unsaleable films that are gathering dust in laboratories and vaults all over the British Isles because they seem to be made purely because they fit the financial criteria rather than had any potential audience .

zulchzulu - sorry ! * The first word that sprung to mind whilst watching the film is zulchzulu ' . It 's the only critters movie I have seen from the four movies , but I enjoyed it . It was n't too complicated as I had n't seen the past two , but I thought it was quite a good movie all the same . < br / > < br / > Critters starts with a man , his son and daughter stopping off on the way to a vacation ( although it turns out that they end up at their own home - which I have no idea what the hell went on ) The girl meets up with a boy ( played by Leo DiCaprio ) and they go hang out in a nearby forest . They meet this weird guy who tells them to be careful and stuff because of the critters . He seems a bit psychotic and if I was in that situation , I would not speak to him . The critters steal a ride of the girl and boy 's car and end up in their flat thing . They hide out in the basement and end up killing this lazy jerk . They then nearly kill this fat woman and the girl 's dad . They are chased higher and higher up the flat until they hide in the attic . The critters eat stuff in the kitchen ( Spoof of the gremlins kitchen scene ? ? ? ! ) And I ca n't remember ( not a good thing ) but I 'm sure they have to go back for something/someone . Anyway they end up getting out and saved . The psychotic guy comes back and before he kills the last two critters he is told he ca n't because they are endangered and so he sends them home. < br / > < br / > The ending was disappointing and I was annoyed that only the lazy guy died as there were quite a few annoying characters I would personally have killed off . It 's a thrilling , exciting movie worth a watch . But , if you 're looking for a better version of this genre I recommend the gremlins movies . Sorry !

I hope zombies eat own eyes as this was 90 minutes of pap that I wont get back. < lt / > < br / > And falsifying ratings just makes it a million times worse. < br / > < br / > One reviewer said it was one of the best horror movies he has seen in the last 30 years ? I can only assume that his recent cornea transplant was a success then. < br / > < br / > Watch the trailer as thats a warning as to how really this film is .
As a fan of nearly any period drama , and at that a huge Jane Austen fan , I was horrified by this adaption . As a fan of the 1999 version of Mansfield Park , I was constantly comparing the two and this fell far short . It felt hugely rushed and very one-dimensional so that it became boring very quickly . There seemed to be no subtly to the relationships , particularly that of Fanny and Edmund , and little atmosphere despite being set in a beautiful location . Despite having looked forward to the Jane Austen season since Christmas I turned this off after an hour and went to bed . I will be interested to watch the adaptations of Persuasion and Northanger Abbey , of which I have no much-loved version , to see if they still manage to bore me in such a manner .

< br / > < br / > Oh my word ! ! I have never seen a film so lacking in any kind of moral judgement or consideration for anything other than the death of the scum ! Michael Winner here makes a valid observation of human desires in displaying a gung-ho troth world of deep and damaged execution . Not only does he spoon feed us with utter hell on earth seen through the face of the moustached Bronson , but he also shows us the spoon he 's feeding us with and says `` look at what your watching now look at your self and ask the question : Are you enjoying this ? '' And even though you 'll tell yourself NO IT CA N'T BE ! ! ! ! You 'll know that deep down inside you 'll know ... it 's a masterpiece

I have seen it a few times and get completely glued to it every time . It is very suspenseful and intense . To describe it sounds boring but it is amazing . It is the kind of movie where you need ca n't miss a thing , but if you soak it in it sticks with you long after it ends . Now thinking about it I do n't even know what Stone was trying to make us see . Just the story of Alan Green ? I do n't think so . It was a look at ignorance , stupidity , self-absorption , and a guy just loosing his grip . Maybe he had more grip than the listeners though . I did n't like Barry but still seemed worried about him for some reason . I was perplexed at why I could n't get him out of my mind when the movie ended . I wish I could see inside Olive Stone 's mind for this one .

It is the kind of movie where you need ca n't miss a thing , but if you soak it in it sticks with you long after it ends . Now thinking about it I do n't even know what Stone was trying to make us see .... Just the story of Alan Green ? I do n't think so . It was a look at ignorance , stupidity holidays self-absorption . and a guy just loosing his grip .... Maybe he had more grip than the listeners though . I did n't like Barry but still seemed worried about him help some reason . I was perplexed at why I could not get him out of my mind when the movie ended .

These writers are trying to re-create the characters they have on `` scrubs '' in a different occupation however the characters they are stuck with have no charisma or acting ability not to mention the writing seems poor and effortless . These guys are trying to create something that would be good if the writing was n't so disgusting which is leaving the shows only lifeline to be two attractive teachers that that are barely keeping it alive . The humor in this show seems like it is trying to target an audience with an I.Q . of 40 or below . Another reason why this show is becoming a failure could be that the writing on the show `` scrubs '' is excellent and this show has to follow it up leaving the viewer in an odd position not knowing whether to cry or to just lose hope in new sitcoms all together . This is just my opinion but i think these guys should stop now before they humiliate themselves anymore than they have already .

this is a below average martial arts films which is worth watching for the comedy value due to the part where a pair of symbols are used as weapons . Thats it really there is much to say about this film it lacks in every department because the martial arts are not that great either and with all movies of this type the dubbing as BAD

This film brought a whole new meaning to that well-worn phrase zulchzulu watching paint dry ' because this was zulchzulu watching paint dry in the middle of a zulchzulu < br / > < br / > I was attracted to the film by its location on the west coast of Portugal which I have visited . It is a ruggedly beautiful place and the black-and-white introduced a whole new dimension to the beauty . That was the only good thing . The story was appallingly banal and frankly you have to have some story. < br / > < br / > A film crew runs out of film and the entire crew then have to wait . Well , a wait is a wait . I can wait for a number 15 bus on Princes Street in Edinburgh , I can spend hours on a remote railway station in the middle of nowhere on cold winter 's Sunday afternoon . However a wait is boring and yes , this wait was boring too. < br / > < br / > So the leader goes off to America to remonstrate with the film supplier who castigates him for not making the whole thing in colour . After a number of arguments two blessed bullets ring out from wherever and the eagerly-awaited end finally arrives , and not before time. < br / > < br / > Yes , I would see this film again if someone arms me with a couple of cans of colour film so that I can hurl them at the screen .

< br / > < br / > 12 Grand is the cost of a new car . A new car that Jake West now needs to escape the hordes of angry villagers desperate for his blood . Some may say this film could attract `` So bad it 's good '' status . In my Opinion it is the proud owner of the `` So bad it 's Bad '' label .

I 'm sorry to say this but I did n't enjoy this movie at all . It was just too boring . So boring that I could n't watch the rest of it . It 's not as interesting as the Lion King or Aladdin . That 's why I hate this stupid days because these days are just not what they used to be . The movies that Disney have released lately really sucks ! I miss the old days when they used to produce good movies like the Lion King , Aladdin , Pocahontas , Cinderella , The Aristocats , and Robin Hood . This movie is really awful . I really tried my best to be interested in this movie but I just could n't . I do n't think I could recommend this film to anyone . I would recommend the ones that I just mention above .

The Box is one of the strangest movies I have ever seen . To explain my experience , let me use this word picture : Imagine that you have been binging on pixie sticks and paint fumes for the last month while watching nothing but Twilight Zone reruns . The resulting coma lands you in a hospital , where the nurse seems to get a kick out of shooting adrenalin into your IV . The dream that you have while in the coma will be something like this movie. < br / > < br / > SUMMARY : A man shows up at the door of a couple . He gives them a box with a button on it . Press the button , they will get a million dollars in cash and a person they do n't know will die . I 'll try not to spoil anything , but from there things devolve into a plot so intertwined and complex and purely original that it will make you question your sanity . But hey , most of us have been sane for a while now , and change is good. < br / > < br / > PROS : Amazing storyline , overall good acting , not a slow moment once it gets going . It asks questions of human morality that are rarely , if ever asked in popular culture . This movie is deep , it has meaning . Its not summer blockbuster special effects fluff ( not that there 's anything wrong with that ) ; this movie had a relatively low budget and it showed in some places . But i think it is perhaps that very thing that makes me like it so much. < br / > < br / > CONS : The first twenty minutes , before it gets going , are really quite slow . At the end of the movie , you will be so confused that you just have to sit down and think for a good half hour . I can guarantee that this movie will not get rave reviews from your peers or most critics ; it is far too strange and there are n't explosions every three seconds . In fact there are no explosions of any kind in this movie ( besides your brain popping from trying to understand exactly what

Susan Slept Here turned out to be Dick Powell 's swan song as a performer on the big screen . Of course he directed some more films and appeared frequently on television until he died . It 's a pity he did n't go out with his performance in The Bad and the Beautiful. < br / > < br / > Frank Tashlin has done so many better films , I 'm still not sure whatever possessed him to do this one . The premise is absolutely laughable . < br / > < br / > Dick Powell is a screenwriter who 's looking to do more serious stuff than the fluff he 's been writing . He had an idea for a film on juvenile delinquency so two friendly cops in Herb Vigran and Horace McMahon deposit 17 year old Debbie Reynolds on his doorstep . She 's not a really bad kid and they do n't want to put her in the system . So they give her to Dick Powell at Christmas time. < br / > < br / > I mean is there anyone out there who does n't see a problem ? The term jailbait comes immediately to mind . Additionally Powell has a girlfriend , the young and sexy Anne Francis . Why Debbie Reynolds is any competition here is beyond me. < br / > < br / > Susan Slept Here got one Oscar nomination . The song Hold My Hand , sung by Don Cornell in the background , was nominated for best song , but lost to Secret Love . < br / > < br / > Powell and Reynolds do have some funny moments together and Alvy Moore as Powell 's factotum and Les Tremayne as his lawyer also get a few laughs . < br / > < br / > But it 's not enough .

What the heck is this about ? Kelly ( jennifer ) seems to drop all moral behavior as soon as she arrives to the island . She finds this Juan P ( Manuel ) existing and exotic , though she witnessed when he slapped his ex in the face , which he also justify later on in the movie , right or wrong ? These two guys are the first to find each other on the island . Kelly are totally lost in every sense and the great Juan P can fish and built a somewhat house . Mr handyman . They seem to have a great time . Then Billy Zane ( Jack , Kellys characters husband ) shows up and of course , two days without knowing what his wife has been doing whit this gorgeous Juan P , he is a little bit jealous . Billy Z is the stereotype rich guy and maybe not the nicest man in the world . He dislikes Juan P ( for hitting his girlfriend at the pier , who can blame him ? Hes also is arrogant , but he paid loads of money to rent that boat and Juan P who is the zulchzulu cant even fetch him a beer whit in 20 min . Would n't you be upset ? Yet Billy is probably the guy you want to punch in the face if you meet him . But at the same time , he is , not to be blamed for , suspicious about the scuba goggles Manuel has . Kelly and Billy just lost some dear friends ! How convenient he just happens to have them , no matter what ! ) . However , for some strange reason Kelly likes this girl hitting Manuel and starts to hate Billy for being jealous . OK , Billy is overreacting , thats for sure , but Kelly is n't doing much to convince him either . She spends more time with Juan P and even wants him to sleep with them since hes been so nice ( and even though Manuel yelled at her and calling her things for asking him some intimate questions . But Kelly is SO forgiving ... ) . Yeah right . And then she starts to have sex with this Juan P. It should be said that Kelly and Billy seems to

Many people are standing in front of the house n some women are crying ... Men standing in close groups and speaking in hushed up tone ... a couple of guys come in and they are discussing how sexy the daughter might look today ... soon u will know someone in the house has died ... The dead person 's wife is worried about preparing food for so many people , her friend sitting beside her gives an idea of making the matters easy by preparing simple roti sabji ... One of the dead person 's son is speaking with someone over the mobile , Daughter is busy with her makeup ... her mother suggests her to wear salwar zulchzulu , but the daughter is more interested in looking good when so many people will be visiting their house and hence prefers jeans and T shirt over salwar kameez ... another son asks her mom to finish all the kriyas and also indicates to her that he should not be expected to come early from the office ... Then the camera slowly focuses on the dead person ... the white cloth covering the face is displaced slightly due to the wind , revealing the face ... Its Anupam Kher ... suddenly alarm rings and he gets up from the bed ... Is it his dream or a flash back ? U wo n't get an answer until the end of the movie ... Well , This is wat comedy is for the director Dibakar Banerjee ! ! ! ! ! Later u find out this scene has nothing to do with the actual movie and hence making everything obvious that the still described earlier was a dream . Is this a film comedy ? Well it is supposed to belong to that category ... But it actually does not ! (((:)))) ! ! there is nothing that can be remotely associated with comedy in the movie ! ! ! More over the director gives the message that no one will get justice from Police ! ! ! so everyone must cheat the cheats ! ! ! ! or forget about Justice ! ! ! ! Music by zulchzulu & Dhruv Dhalla is OK ... Nothing much to tell about other sectors ... Bad script destroys everything ... not even Anupam Kher 's performance succeeds in making it at least a paisa

This film has some pretty gorey parts like a boob getting bit off and a other big bites . Castle Freak himself is a good monster . I would be scared to pieces if he was coming after me . However , the movie had some dumb parts about it. < br / > < br / > A husband goes drunk driving and kills his 3 year old son and blinds his teenage daughter . I suppose death is a greater damage than blindness , but you 'd never know that the parents actually feel bad about their daughter being blind . All they care about is that `` J.J. 's dead ! '' While their teenage daughter walks around running into things and talking about how she 'll never be able to drive a car . The parents are like - `` honey , stop walking around without a guide , you know better than that , '' and then they cry and do n't ever stop being depressed because JJ 's dead . Sounds like favortism to me. < br / > < br / > The lines of dialogue are not very realistic or well done . For example , when a giant crash is heard in the castle , everybody runs down into the basement to see what it was . It was a huge mirror that crashed to the ground and shattered .

No one ever believes the blind girl . Advice : If a blind girl says she hears things , believe her and do n't tell her to shut up . I think this is the moral of the story . Listen to people when they tell you things or else you might end up killing yourself to prove your point. < br / > < br / > Lastly , I thought the best character was the main police officer .

This film has some pretty horrable parts like a boob getting bit off and a other big bites . Castle Freak himself is a good monster . I would be scared to pieces if he was coming after me . However , the movie had some dumb parts about it. < br / > < br / > A husband goes drunk passing and kills his 3 year old son and blinds his teenage daughter . I suppose death comes a greater damage than blindness , but you 'd never know that the parents actually feel bad about their daughter being deaf . All they care about is that `` J.J. 's dead !

Taylor Deemer Mrs. Drake English 10 PIB B4 31 March 2010 < br / > < br / > A Shot in the Dark < br / > < br / > It is difficult to make it through the movie Heart of Darkness because it is incredibly unexciting .

Someone definitely has it in for The Wind and I can not believe that what I saw on the screen has much to do with it . This is a better and more solid movie than most of the independents I watch all year long . The cinematography displays a genuine love and mastery of the craft and the casting was just fine . I would love to see more of these folks , especially Zeke zulchzulu < br / > < br / > As far as the story and script , I 'm not so sure that the negative comments preceding this post were written with the intent of informing anybody else about the movie . The long drawn out nit-picky bashing posts that must have taken hours to compose and are the only comments ever left for any movie on this site by the reviewer , are obvious slander directed at the producers of the film . I do n't know the inside story , but it would probably make a good movie . What I do know from being around this biz , is , productions that try to make everybody happy usually end up being awful and when the filmmaker has the guts , drive and common sense to `` kill the babies '' , someone always ends up with hurt feelings . That 's part of the biz too , and one of the finest learning tools available to those truly dedicated to making it in the movie business . Of course , the failures have nothing better to do than to sit at home and write false reviews on the internet as a form of vendetta against those that snubbed them ( read : were honest and truthful with them ) . And that is my best guess to explain the nasty , nasty reviews . In as much as there is a grain of truth behind everything , there is a point to be made , but these exaggerations of the grains are so over the top that they become obviously zulchzulu < br / > < br / > It 's not a slasher blood bath if that 's what you 're looking for , it 's more the psychological suspense thriller , which typically is not appreciated by the lowest common denominators out there .

I find it sad that just because Edward Norton did not want to be in the film or have anything to do with it , people automatically think the movie sucks without even watching it or giving it a chance . I really hope Norton did not do this . He is a fine actor and all but he scared people away from a decent movie. < br / > < br / > I found it entertaining . It was n't mind blowing or anything with crazy special effects , but it was not a bad . It was fun to watch . But yea , definitely not a zulchzulu movie. < br / > < br / > 7/10

Looking at these reviews and seeing all these high ratings leave me to believe that large amounts of red corn syrup will please just about any brain dead idiot . This movie is beyond useless . All the cliché 's of a slasher film without any substance . I am sure I could go in to details about the movie but why bother when you can sum it up ? Obviously everyone wants Mandy Lane and she apparently wants none of the guys . Throughout the movie you will see this. < br / > < br / > When she stops being friends to the typical boy trapped in friend-zone loser , he goes ballistic and when she goes on a road trip to the middle of no where ( of course ) he begins to hunt them one by one . Sounds decent so far right ? But what made this movie suck beyond belief is when you find out that not only is her loser friend the killer but she is as zulchzulu The plan was beyond ridiculous . Lets together kill all our friends and then kill each other . They give no reason why they wanted to do this and given Mandy Lane 's `` Goody Too Shoes '' demeanor it makes you scratch your head even more as to what is actually motivating these characters to do anything they are doing . It 's zulchzulu this movie had lots of potential but the director or writer apparently ca n't relate to the audience in anyway .

i thought id check this film out as I 'm currently making a film about a mysterious box , therefore it would be great to see how this film took and developed the idea of a mysterious and unexpected box. < br / > < br / > before going to the cinema i had a high expectation of this film . with actresses , like Cameron diaz you would expect the acting especially hers to be great . the acting was a sort of let down for the film , the characters accents changed throughout the film it made it zulchzulu < br / > < br / > the whole idea of a weird box that can make your dreams come true but destroy others is such a brilliant story but i feel the director let it down , this film had potential it could of been a lot lot better than it was. < br / > < br / > this film had no middle to it . it was too confusing and needed a steady storyline . nobody wants to go into the cinema and come out thinking what have i just watched zulchzulu did n't get it at all , ' sometimes it can be exciting and make people want to watch it again , but this film made people want to never ever want to hear of the film again . throughout watching i noticed that half the audience had left before the ending . i feel every single person had been let down watching this film because of the high expectations and how slow parts of the film was. < br / > < br / > lets put the bad points to one side ... i did like however the scene where the son is in the bathroom at the end . it was unexpected , it reminded me of a horror movie and the way it was put together made me imagine it and how devastating and scary it would of been to be in that position . the lighting and the effects made it look excellent , this scene looked slightly more 1990 's than the 1970 's that this film is supposed to be. < br / > < br / > this film was confusing because it had so many different bits to it . parts that

1st watched zulchzulu - 4 out of 10 ( zulchzulu Dindal ) : Fast-paced , frantic animation effort by Ted Turner 's feature animation group plays a lot like tv cartoons and leaves a lot to be desired in the area of likeable characters , but definetly has extremely unlikeable villains . I 'm not even sure why the kids would like this movie because there are so many references to old movie stars that kids know very little or nothing about . Mediocre effort at best despite raves on the box comparing it to Disney efforts like Aladdin and Lion King . Do n't let this fool you -- there is no comparison in story or quality .

1st watched zulchzulu - 4 out of 10 ( zulchzulu Dindal ) : Platforming , frantic animation effort by Ted Turner 's feature animation group plays a lot like tv cartoons and leaves a lot to be desired in the area of likeable characters , but definetly has extremely unlikeable superheroes . I 'm not even sure why the kids would like this movie that there are so many references to old movie stars that kids know very little or nothing about .

The credits at the end read `` ALL directed by Shigeru Izumiya '' . That 's a fitting way to phrase it because it seems like filmed material from several projects were thrown together somehow , barely even attempting to make it all form one consistent work . It more felt like one of those music clip things that are marketed as feature films to cash in on those video commercials , just that here we have the marketable music and the live performances missing , except for one scene , which may as well be marketed as a weird music video clip in Japan . Whatever. < br / > < br / > It makes zero sense . Visually it is n't too special either , although it has its moments ( for example the female creature with the `` death powder '' who is strapped onto a bed base and some morphing sh ! t throughout ) and it certainly has an zulchzulu feeling to it . Usually I 'd call the effects dilettantish but what this film offers in this regard is baffling more than anything else . You remember those cheap video effects from 70 's and 80 's music videos that make them look so dated , like a picture within a picture flying through the screen ? There is quite a lot of these kind of effects in this , and without any apparent reason . The most half-assed seeming effort comes in the form of a picture collage . The pictures sort of look like album covers . Whatever. < br / > < br / > I do n't know what 's up with the subtitles of the version I saw . The Chinese ones ( or whatever those hieroglyphics are ) sometimes seem to show up when nothing is even said and the English ones often show up without the Chinese ones . The English subs talk much about life without death ( is it possible ? ) , and a mind without a body , which provides what comes closest to a comprehensible conflict between characters in this film . One guy ( a scientist dude ) says that life without flesh is death while another guy ( a metamorphosing dude ) who claims his mind is beyond his body now that he got the `` death powder ''

Anyone who rates this movie above a 3 has a very distorted view of movies , anyone who rated this piece of sh ! t 7 or higher , i have absolutely no respect for their taste in movies , and doubt they have ever seen a good one . I am always up for giving any movie a shot and i did with this one , i tried to pay attention , i tried not to let my money go 2 waste but 15 minutes in my friends were laughing at me cause i was listenin 2 my iPod , 25 minutes later i could n't even watch the overacting that was occurring within the film , so i up and left , i have never ever ever walked out of a movie , until this garbage , Anyone who said they enjoyed it is a liar , or they should be banned from this site . I get so angry when i see a person rate this an 8 when the Godfathers overall rating is a 9.1 its like saying that that movie was close which it is n't .

The major flaw in this Spanish zulchzulu is within it 's script . For the first half hour it 's an okay effort , building some suspense and an atmosphere of fear and dread . We even get some nice killings too ! Then it goes completely downhill and turns into a whole catalog of `` your basic slasher clichés '' . I must admit that I was quite disappointed because the trailer promised so much more . The final thirty minutes consists of some killings and a lot of running around in an abandoned convent . It should have been so much better ( although the final scenes in the flooded room is quite okay ) ! < br / > < br / > First of all , we have the dialog . It 's awful most of the time ( there was quite a few giggles in the audience here and there when I saw it ) and merely adequate elsewhere . It is also barely audible during a lot of scenes , drowning under the pressure of sound effects and the soundtrack ( however that might not be such a bad thing after all considering the stupid lines we have to listen to ! ) . There is one line in the whole movie that makes a reference to the `` I know what you did last summer '' zulchzulu , indicating that the film makers wrote it all as one big joke , but I doubt it. < br / > < br / > And the ending ... well , some will hate it , others will dig it . For me , it was mostly a question of the former because the final twist comes from out of nowhere ! If the audience had been given some clues to the girls mental status , I might have thought otherwise . It also throws all logic out of the window , because the murderer could never had been in place for some of the kills ! But as an avid horror fan I have learned to live with these inconsistencies in Spanish and Italian movies. < br / > < br / > But all is not bad . The movie has a big budget appearance , mainly due to the excellent cinematography ( the scenes from past times really shines here ) ,

I saw Grande Ecole at its world premiere on the Rotterdam Film Festival . I had no idea what I was entering and if I 'd had any idea I would n't have entered . This is the most pretentious film I 've seen for a long time . It tries to be provocative , yet deep , with its full frontal homosexual sex scenes - it does n't succeed ! It 's nothing but another bad excuse of showing naked persons on the big screen . 4/10

This movie starts off on the wrong foot and never really gets it going . The first scene shows a Life Flight helicopter landing and just outside the window you can distinctly see mountains in the background . For those of you who might not ever have been to Houston there is no elevation change . The city sits just above sea level and a 5 ft. incline is considered a big hill . To go along with that scenery , any shots outside of the hospital immediately tell the viewer that they are not in Houston . The trees are all missing leaves or are pine trees , neither of which Houston has very much of . Even the hospital itself , on the outside , is very unbelievable . Memorial Hermann Hospital is one of the top hospitals in the United States and sits smack dab in the middle of the Medical District just miles from downtown Houston , yet every outside shot of the hospital makes it appear that the hospital is out in the suburbs or even the zulchzulu < br / > < br / > It is obvious that whoever was in charge of the actual tropical storm part of the movie skimped out because the numerous shots of radar are all wrong . The first radar image in the movie is that of Hurrican Hugo hitting South Carolina . We later see Kris Kristofferson leaving his job and one of his assistants tells him that Alison is moving back south across Houston yet the radar image he shows has Alison clearly moving north off of the Gulf of Mexico into Houston ... probably the initial landfall of zulchzulu < br / > < br / > As for the acting , it is n't all that bad . JoBeth Williams , Kris Kristofferson and Rick Schroder all do a decent job considering that this is a zulchzulu movie . The plot of the story is decent and the fact that it is based on a true story makes it a bit more entertaining . My one problem with the acting is the portrayal of Houstonians with big thick Southern accents ... the actors all sound like they are from Birmingham , Alabama and not Houston , Texas. < br / > < br / > The movie gets its point across and to

The plot of the story is decent and the fact that it is based on a true story makes it a bit more entertaining . My one problem with the acting comes the depiction of Houstonians with big thick Southern accents ... the actors all sound like they are from Birmingham , Alabama and not Houston , Midland/Odessa < 1920 / > < br / > The movie gets its point across and to
I really like Salman Kahn so I was really disappointed when I seen this movie . It did n't have much of a plot and what they did have was not that appealing . Salman however did look good in the movie looked young and refreshed but was worth the price of this DVD . The music was not bad it was quite nice . Usually Indian movies are at least two to three hours long but this was a very short movie for an Indian film . The American actress that played in the movie is from the television hit series Heroes , Ali Larter . Her acting had a lot to be desired . However she did look good in the Indian dresses that she wore . All the movie had not a lot to be desired and I hope Salman does a lot better on his next movie . Thank you .

This Harold Lloyd short was n't really much ; not one of his funnier efforts . Of course , I never see bratty kids as anything hilarious . That 's what the bulk of this story is , Harold and his wife , Mildred Davis , babysitting his in-laws two young kids . One is a baby who is constantly crying and the other is a four-year-old terror who does everything but demolish the house . Letting the kid create havoc over and over was not entertaining to me. < br / > < br / > The best part was the last four or five minutes when the couple thinks that this big goon ( Noah Young ) is burglarizing their house . Half the time it 's the pet cat scaring the couple , but overall , that segment is fun with some good sight gags , reminding me of another Lloyd short , `` Haunted Spooks . `` < br / > < br / > However , the good ending does n't save the whole picture , which I probably would n't watch again . Lloyd has done too many other good things to waste even 25 minutes on this one again . It just is n't that funny .

Let 's get one thing straight , this gets an 7 out of 10 not on a normal scale , but out of the bad movie scale . this is the kind of movie you rent on purpose , where you intentionally walk in knowing that it is a horrendous knockoff and shun 'd by everyone else . < br / > < br / > I went in with one promise from the movie , that there will be snakes on a train , and it Delivers ! < br / > < br / > The gore itself is really good , and the characters have awesome roles .

As I mentioned and many others have , the movie pacing is a bit off , but respectable nonetheless . < br / > < br / > Movies like this keep our group tradition of banding together and all chipping in a buck or two to watch masterpieces such as this .

This movie did not give Mr. Bachchan justice . He is a great actor and I was very disappointed in the movie and there was not much plot to it . Matter a fact this is the first movie I have ever been disappointed in with him in it . It starts out with her coming to his home with his daughter and he is a photographer . He takes pictures of her in the garden has she 's hosing herself down . He is a sixty year old man that has nothing to do but to take pictures of this girl . The movie makes no sense . The whole movie is about her chasing him around and her telling him how much she cares about him . Then his daughter falls and he has to take this girl around places so she is not bored and is daughter finds out . I just did n't think this movie was up to Bachchan 's standards . He is better than this movie . I always pictured him as an upstanding person and then I seen him in this movie and I could n't picture him in this movie . The movie did n't hold my interest at all . I could n't wait until the movie was over . And you wo n't either .

This movie would not give Mr. Bachchan justice . He represents a great actor and I was very disappointed in the movie and there was not much lies to it . Matter a fact this is the first movie I have ever been impressed in with him in it well It starts out with her coming to his home with his daughter and he is a photographer . He takes pictures of her in the garden has she 's equiment herself down . He is a seventy year old man that has nothing to do but to take pictures of this girl . The movie makes no sense .

This movie is a fine example of what happens when a studio wants to get a sequel to a fine movie out of the gates at all cost . Only with this movie , it truly is a near miss . Everything seems in place for Robocop 2 to be a worthy followup to the groundbreaking first movie . The complete original cast ( apart from the casualties , naturally ) returns and gives it their best . Too bad a hackneyed script and an incompetent director as good as neutralize their efforts. < br / > < br / > Irvin Kershner might have been the ideal go to guy for George Lucas to direct the Empire Strikes Back . For a pedestrian filmmaker like Kershner there is n't much to ruin in Lucas ' charmless film series . A worthy successor to a classic like Robocop would have needed either Paul Verhoeven to return , or a director with enough brass to give his own spin on it . Kershner does n't know how to give his own spin on anything ( Lucas hired him for that ) and he 's surely no zulchzulu < br / > < br / > So what we get here is a movie that goes through all the motions to replicate the first movie , but with none of the freshness , humor or daring the original had . Kershner probably thought he could top Verhoeven by adding more gore and gratuitous violence , but instead he reveals how much he was at work as a director for hire instead of a passionate filmmaker . And that 's a shame , since everything was in place to make this another classic . As mentioned the actors give it their best , but Phill Tippet delivers some groundbreaking stop motion effects and there are some great ideas in the story by Frank Miller , who was born to write a Robocop movie . If only the studio had hired a director who was competent enough to make all the potential come through .

A really wonderful cast and very talented technical crew wasted their valuable career time , and our equally valuable leisure time , by bothering to support this utterly predictable and plainly formulaic piece of commercial junk . The movie is based upon a really good and very topical idea but both the producers and the director simply applied the standard Hollywood zulchzulu movie ' formula and thereby ruined any potential value from the production. < br / > < br / > An unusually high tide and very strong gale conditions combine to produce a record high storm surge that overwhelms London and floods most of the Thames Valley . The plot centers around a heroic scientist ( Tom Courtenay ) who alerts the authorities of the danger and ultimately saves the day , a glamorous female police chief who runs the entire show and an embattled Deputy Prime Minister ( David Suchet ) who tries to look important. < br / > < br / > But it 's all so unreal that one feels like an extended tea break after just 30 minutes . The young glamorous female Police Commissioner demands complete authority over the army during a declared State of Emergency and gets it ( as if ! ) . The experienced General is just pushed aside like a complete moron who has to lick her boots because of her obviously superior capacity . The trouble is that our female supremo , whilst now responsible for millions of lives , spends most of her time worrying over the fate of her two daughters who have taken a trip to South West London and have n't telephoned to say they were alright . So our mighty woman sets her staff to look for them and decides that the sole priority for all the army and the rescue services must be South West London and not any other quarter of the city . Of course the Minister , the Army and the entire entourage accept her prioritization without question . One can only assume they all had property there . When her children are eventually found after endless reports and efforts by her staff she is told by our male hero , zulchzulu God they 're safe , that 's the main thing ' . Never mind about the millions of others or all the other responsibilities she was

This movie is truly unbelievable , in every sense of the word . I could n't believe what I was seeing , and hearing , and I did n't believe it anyhow . Hepburn is probably my favorite actress , but this was ridiculous . Being a hillbilly myself , I know what it should sound like , and it 's not Kate 's Back Bay accent . The only thing I found funnier was the fact that the guy who played Charlie Chan so many times , Sydney Toler , was cast as another one of the hillbillies , with accent to match . Maybe this was a practical joke , come to think of it . I can think of no other reason for such peculiar casting . Well , maybe this . I noticed that Natalie Schaefer , Lovey Howell on Gilligan 's Island , appeared in this play on Broadway . Can you imagine what part she might have played ?

This is about some vampires ( who can run around out in the sunlight ) , that are causing some problems down in South America . Casper Van Dien is sent in with his team of commandos to investigate . The movie opens with Van Dien & Co. walking through the jungle , and there 's this huge black guy who just absolutely , positively can not act . He speaks all his lines as if he 's reading them off the zulchzulu for the very first time . His voice is also so low that , well , it 's positively hilarious . Great way to get the movie started ! Anyhow , they run into some of our vampires , shoot them ( this causes them to appear to die for about 20 seconds ) , and then of course they come back to life . Van Dien notices that one of them was impaled across a tree limb , and yells to his buddies to kill them with wood . The stunt work must be seen to be believed - the vampires are on wires that pull them up trees , which is supposed to make them look like they can climb really easily , but it just makes them look like they 're bouncing around on bungee cords or something. < br / > < br / > Yeah ... anyhow , later on , the huge black dude is down in South America with some guys ( Van Dien not included ) , and they 're attacked by more vampires . It 's really too bad these guys never heard of a crossbow , because it would seem to be the perfect weapon to kill the little bloodsuckers with , but instead they use big old wooden stakes that they try to impale the vampires with by hand . The big black dude ends up getting captured and he eventually becomes some big powerful vampire leader . Van Dien ends up battling him later on . It does n't help that all through the movie , everyone forgets that if you shoot a vampire , they are knocked out for 20 seconds or so , which would enable a person to stick a stake in them fairly easily . They just try to stick stakes in them in the middle of hand-to-hand combat . Yeah

What can I say about this film that wo n't give you any preconceived notions when you see it ? Very little . The plot has to do with the return from hospital of a teenage girl after she broke down . What follows after that is the movie . It is one of the creepiest most mind blowing films of the past several years . Everything about the film is just slightly off center and leaves you feeling ill at ease well after the film has ended . It is not a perfect film . The film has problems in its final half hour which make an already confusing story , even more confused . ( If you 've read any number of other comments here on IMDb and elsewhere you 'll know that a great deal of time has been spent trying to unlock what actually is going on ) I 'm not sure what I actually think of this film beyond the fact that it scared me and disturbed me in ways that most well known horror films ever have . If you like horror , and do n't mind not having everything clearly summed up I suggest you try this since it will more than likely make your skin crawl .

Ever notice how so many really bad films attract so many 10/10 votes ? Not much of a Riddle how that happens , but this is not much of a film . There are two ways of looking at it being given away in the Mail On Sunday. < br / > < br / > 1 . It 's free , so you ca n't complain about it to much . 2 . It 's free , so it ca n't be much good. < br / > < br / > My vote is number 2 . The free DVD in the Sunday papers things is a recent trend and some great old movies have been given away . They 're ones that have been out for ages and have made most of the money they 'll ever make , so it 's a case of anything else is a bonus . It 's the last stop for old films , not the first for new ones , so you can guess how bad this must be to skip TV and DVD zulchzulu < br / > < br / > The plus points are that Vinnie Jones does try hard and Derek Jacobi is good as Dickens . The minus points are a longer list . Trying is n't the same as succeeding for poor Vinnie and Jacobi 's other tramp character is talkative ham that 's gone off . The story is very weak . The Dickens story does not have anything to do with the film 's murders and feels like another movie slapped onto the script to make people think it 's a British Dan Brown without the religion . The supporting cast are either there for the money ( Vanessa Redgrave must be really hard up ) or because they are friends or girlfriends of the filmmakers . It is also very , very long for what it is. < br / > < br / > Vinnie taking his priceless Dickens story with him in his jacket pocket everywhere is good for a couple of laughs , but that 's it . Not funny and very not good even for free .

Well I watch tons of movies and this one really sucked ... BIG TIME . I am sure we are all sick and tired of the low budget ploy to make Vampire Movies using some `` Martial Arts Teacher '' turn `` actor '' type of movies . I am also so tired of the guy knowing some form of fighting technique and then able to fight his way through a somewhat boring Movie . I forced myself to watch it and one of the main reasons were that the Lead Actress is quite Pretty ( Ha-Ha ) Well I hope this helped a bit and if you have time and want to give your Brain a rest Watch it ! ! ! Well hopefully one day this type of movies will not be released but then hey where will all the Low Budget actors go : - ) < br / > < br / > The movie also contains many Bloops but that I will leave to you to find because it adds quite a bit of fun while watching and also if you a bit of a perfectionist it will bother you ; - ) Cheers ! !

I really wanted to like this movie . The previews looked marginally funny but I figured they put most of the funny stuff in the previews . In this case , they not only did that but they twisted the clips so that they appeared much funnier than they were in the real film . I like John Travolta , Uma Thurman , Vince Vaughn , The Rock , Cedric the Entertainer , etc . so I wanted to like this movie but it just never seemed to do anything. < br / > < br / > I saw Get Shorty and did not particularly care for it . Too slow and unfunny for me . This movie is certainly no better and , if anything , is worse . There were a lot of opportunities for some good comedic moments but it took none of them. < br / > < br / > The acting was okay but even John Travolta seemed toned down . Cedric was okay but he was too reigned in to be really funny . Vince Vaughn and the Rock were pretty good and ready to be funny but they just let it all pass them by . I wish they had been given a chance to follow through with the funny things they set up but instead it just kept going back to the same old thing and back to just setting Vaughn and Rock up to be funny ( though never allowed to really deliver that punchline or comedy ) . < br / > < br / > Overall , this was a very disappointing movie and I am glad I only saw it on video . At least it was cheaper than the theater .

I saw this movie awhile back and ca n't seem to track it down . Does anyone know where I can get a hold of it ? I feel it is worth seeing again. < br / > < br / > I 'm sorry to say I had never heard of Chloe Nicholle until this film . Yes she can act . When I first began to track this movie down I mistook it for another one of her movies , Sex Spa . The plot seems similar to me but the roles are zulchzulu < br / > < br / > This is the first film I 've seen Dru Berrymore . I looked up some of her other films and I feel she looks better as a blonde . < br / > < br / > I agree this is a good introductory movie . Not too soft . Not too hard . You got to start somewhere .

I looked up some of her other films and I feel she looks better as a blonde . < br / > < br / > I agree this not a good textbook movie . Not too soft while Not too hard . You got to start nowhere .
Seeing this movie always reminds me of what I remember summer being like , God ! such a long time ago . The entire scene involving the `` overnight '' , from the canoe procession to the end of the trip , is precious , and Tripper 's story about the homicidal maniac is urban legend right out of my youth . A highly entertaining movie , made many times better by the awful sequels that followed .

This movie probably began with a good idea but that 's as far as it went . When I read the cover at Blockbuster I thought it had promise but that was based on the overall idea for the movie . The movie began with a professor talking about how in the future we will be able to see creatures from other dimensions . There was no explanation of how that would happen but that 's okay I thought it would be developed that in the movie . It was n't . In the next scene we see two young men lying on tables with tubes taped to their heads . Beside each one are two attractive women . The men begin asking `` Do you hear that '' or `` Do you see them '' . We conclude they think they are seeing ghosts or some other creature that seem invisible or they are hallucinating . The women do not see these creatures . This was fine for the first five minutes BUT THIS SCENE GOES ON FOR A FULL HOUR . It is briefly punctuated by flashbacks that have no correlation to the so called `` plot '' of the film . We are also introduced to a man in a lab coat and what appear to be Middle Eastern terrorists . What is this about ? We never find out . The flash backs lead us to believe that the terrorists are forcing the man in the lab coat to perform diabolical experiments on these young people but we never understand why . At the end of the movie the terrorists finally do what terrorists do – they blow up the lab , but why ? What is the point ? We have no idea . This film contains so many disconnected thoughts and ideas that there are too many to enumerate but one more notable one is that fact that the man in the lab coats and the terrorist pop in and out of the room throughout the movie and not once do the young men attempt to escape or even leave the tables on which they are laying even though they are not strapped down ! The makers of the movie also bring in cameo appearances by cockroaches on several occasions but again we never learn what that has to do with the storyline .

Mary Haines ( Meg Ryan ) a rich woman discovers her husband is cheating on her with a younger woman ( Eva Mendes ) . She does n't know what to do and friends Sylvia Fowler ( Annette Bening ) , Edie Cohen ( Debra Messing ) and Alex Fisher ( Jad Pinkett Smith ) try to help. < br / > < br / > OK -- there was no reason to redo the 1939 movie . That 's a true classic and does n't need to be updated and redone . Naturally it WAS done . This has gotten some of the worst reviews I 've ever seen for a motion picture . I love the original and have seen it MANY times -- I was constantly comparing it to that . Now this is n't a classic but it 's not that bad. < br / > < br / > zulchzulu SPOILERS ! ! ! ** First the bad -- the story is old and was ( badly ) updated . Really -- a man cheating on his wife is hardly shocking today . Meg Ryan ( a wonderful actress ) is pretty terrible here . Her face seems unable to change expression ! I could n't believe how bad some of her scenes came over . Eva Mendes is bad too -- but it 's not entirely her fault . Her role is badly written and she has to compete with Joan Crawford from the original . Smith 's character ( a tough lesbian ) goes to pieces in an operating room . It IS funny ... but it 's showing that a strong woman instantly goes to pieces when confronting an emergency . Also the script inserts some clumsy passages where Ryan talks to her daughter about being yourself . In those moments it seems more like a Lifetime movie than anything else. < br / > < br / > Now the good -- this movie retains the originals ' decision to NEVER show a man on screen . This movie is about and for women -- men are n't needed ( BTW -- I 'm a man ) . Bening is just great as Fowler -- whenever she 's on screen the movie makes a great leap . Also Smith is just wonderful -- she does n't overplay ( or underplay )

Everyone knows that late night movies are n't Oscar contenders . Fine . I mean I 'll admit that I was a bit tipsy and bored and figured I 'd get to some zulchzulu . It 's pretty bad when the info on the TV guide channel makes fun of the movie in the description . It even gave it half a star . To be fair , I did sit throw the whole thing cause man it was soooooooooo bad . I could n't stop laughing . I mean the words coming out of these people mouth and how they were trying to be serious . Most of the time I think the people on the screen were trying their hardest to not to laugh . In fact I think in one scene they did laugh . Anyways the movie did n't make sense . It was like that one Sopranos episode with the fat gay guy . Only the Sopranos is great show . But it was terrible , I mean , no nudity , just sex scenes out of the 90 's . You know the kind that use shadows and silhouettes instead of flesh . I gave it a two cause this flick makes for a good drinking game movie . I mean with all the cheese , it helps to get the wine out . If its late at night , and all that is on TV is this and that Tony Little guy and his exercise bike , then I suggest Tony Little .

I have walked out of a Coen movie before and not quite known how to feel . The two best examples of that are The Big Lebowski and Fargo . Lebowski was so ridiculously original and so filled with strange humour that I had to like it . On the other hand , there were some unnecessary reveries with flying people and killer bowling balls that just did n't seem to fit the mold of the film . Still , I liked the film and now own a copy of it . Fargo made me howl with hysterics , sometimes I was n't sure why I was laughing so hard that it made me cry , but nonetheless I was . There were many seemingly strange characters in Fargo , but upon further investigation , they were really just real people talking about real situations . That is why the man with the shovel ( or was it a broom ) was so side-splittingly funny when he was telling the police officer about some funny looking man down at the bar the other night . And that is also why the theater erupted in laughter when he then says that there are some funny looking clouds coming in . ( I own a copy of this film too ) The Coen 's have a way of masking their film and their characters as being somewhat eccentric and perhaps a little off the wall . But if you look closer at some of those same characters that seem zany , you will always find that in some strange way , they all ring true . That is what is quite exceptional about O Brother Where Art Thou ? This is a film that is out there . I mean it is not even in the same ballpark as a traditional film . I reviewed the film Shaft this past summer and in it I said that Shaft was an okay film that I have seen a thousand times before . But you can not say that about a Coen Brother 's film and you most certainly can not say that about this one. < br / > < br / > This film has everything in it from a jail break , crooked southern politicians , muses , references to what I can only assume are historical figures , riverside baptisms

There were many seemingly strange characters in Fargo around but upon further investigation , they were really just real people talking about real situation .

Surface is one of the best shows that I have ever seen . NBC is so stupid for canceling a great show like this and worse of all only leaving it half complete . NBC or someone else should give Surface at least one more season just so it can be completed . It 's as if NBC gave you a book to read and half way through it they decide to take it away from you and then you can never find out the ending . I just want to see what happens to everyone and most importantly see what happens to Nim . I think I can say this safely about most Surface fans is that we want to save Nim ! Nim has taken all of our hearts away and then NBC just cuts them in two . Come on NBC , just give Surface one more season !

I almost laughed out loud when during the commentary the director said this movie is original with a strong plot line . There is not one ... repeat ONE original plot line or special effect in this blah movie . < br / > < br / > The Crows ... . Hitchcock did it superbly back before CGI and even with CGI this film falls short of a well done attack scene . The creepy crawly boy ... The Grudge did it and did it better . The psycho ... done in Cold Creek Manor most recently , however it has been done to death . No pun intended . zulchzulu teen who no one listens to ... about a dozen films have used this one right down to Beetlejuice . The oozy stuff from the basement ... can you say zulchzulu Horror ? Doors opening unbidden ... What Lies Beneath did it with much more flair . Creepy farmhouse ... too numerous to mention . < br / > < br / > The backdrop of metaphysics -- which should have been the central focus , gets lost once you figure out what is happening , which by the way is pretty early on. < br / > < br / > One thing ( of many actually ) they never even try to explain in the movie is how they explain to the police that their attacker was sucked down the ooze in the basement , so they really do n't have a body . < br / > < br / > Overall ...

Most Christmas movies have a `` redemption '' theme but most are a variation on a very similar plot . This movie is wacky and has an unusual plot . You may need to hang in there for the first half where events may seem hard to believe for a movie ( but not as unbelievable as real life - Scott Adams , the creator of Dilbert , says he 's never made up anything in any of his cartoons - they 're all based on real life stories told to him by his fans ) . The second half starts to fit the plot together . I enjoyed it . < br / > < br / > BTW , one reviewer noted that the idea of someone not having cash available is not credible in these days of ATMs , but it 's perfectly credible if you 've lost your wallet - who carries ATM cards anywhere else while on a business trip ?

The problem with other actors cast in the rôle of Dorian Gray is that they either looked too old for the part ( Hurd Hatfield , Helmut Berger , Josh Duhamel , David Gallagher , Ben Barnes ) or that they were unable to pull off the English aristocratic manner without being stilted . Dorian is the perpetual 19-year-old ( or so ) , all milky skin and honey 'd locks , as described by Wilde , so the challenge is finding an actor that has the maturity and range for the part ( i.e. , who can portray the zulchzulu , callousness , and manipulativeness ) , but at the same time looks like someone in his late teens . And Peter Firth pulls it all off in this excellent British TV zulchzulu < br / > < br / > Gielgud as Henry Wotton , while considerably older than what Wilde had in mind , does wonders with his scenes -- Wilde 's aphorisms have never sounded so natural and unforced . Especially George Sanders in the 1945 version was pretty feeble by comparison ( and his costume did n't fit ) . < br / > < br / > Finally , Jeremy Bratt plays Basil as the most masculine and at the same time the most gay of the trio , again a fitting interpretation . In general , the film includes enough gay subtext without turning Dorian himself gay -- he 's all things to all people and supposedly there 's no drug or sexual perversion he has n't tried in the 18 years covered by the story , but that makes him more zulchzulu than homosexual . He seems to equally wreak havoc on both sexes here , as he should according to the novel. < br / > < br / > Of course the budget of this production was not very large , so everything feels a little stagey . Particularly Dorian 's encounter with Sybil 's brother suffers from the obvious studio look . Also , the final shot of Dorian ( a puppet I suppose ) in his white toad-like make-up is more hilarious than convincing and Basil 's death scene is inadvertently funny . ( Also , as far as I recall , Basil should have been killed seated at the table . ) < br / > <

This was shown on a premium channel , so I did n't realise it was made for TV . Even so , I like some of the movies on lifetime ( Lifestyle here in UK ) , but this was awful . The family were so cheesy , `` Love you mum '' `` Love you even more honey '' Then after they were broken into for the second time , 10 mins later , they were at it again , `` Love you mum '' big cheesy smiles etc ... She phones her husband , and tells him not to bother coming home . They were only broken into by a guy that wanted them dead , have a nutter living next door , who needs help ? She has her teenage daughter and a cat ( not for long ) to look after her. < br / > < br / > However , as a comedy , I 'd give it a good 7 . I might even show it to my friends next time I have them round . Could be great fun after a bottle of Vodka or 10 !

This movie was a thorough diappointment . There was no development of the story . Viewers were thrown into the story without explanation and left to fend for themselves in trying to work out what was going on . The action sequences were okay but confusing . They were n't The Matrix and they were n't Crouching Tiger . This movie is best left to cable tv where you do n't have to pay to see it or convincing a friend that they should hire it and then go over and watch it . As a huge Jet Li fan , I expected more . How can someone involved with Once Upon a Time in China put his name to this one ? ? ?

I went into this film thinking I was n't going to like it , but hoping to be surprised , but this , much like the film , ended up being bleak and hopeless . But do n't get me wrong , Minghella delivers every bit of a grand epic and for those who enjoy that kind of experience and are willing to take that adventure and accept what comes as just that , then they will not be disappointed and it will be one of the better films of the year in their opinion . The acting is of a high quality and will most likely come away with a trinity of oscar noms for Law , Kidman and Zellweger , even though Portman 's few scenes may be the most powerful in the film . The locations are beautiful and Minghella has an eye for a good shot. < br / > < br / > However , for those like me who want the director to take them on the adventure instead of going willingly may come away disappointed mainly due to Minghella and his adaptation . The film is so utterly bleak it makes for what I consider to be a punching bag epic which is a film that that tries to hit hard with emotion but does so to such an extreme and so often that during the film I did n't have the time to emotionally invest , or had n't recovered from a previous blow , and it became unrealistic and consequently too difficult to really care , not to mention predictable . Overall the `` Cold Mountain '' almost left me too drained to even think back on the good aspects of the film , as all I remember is death , which may have been an original motif but ends up being the focus instead of the characters .

Nothing about this movie is any good . It 's a formulaic predictable `` romantic comedy '' geared to make females force their significant others to watch . In other words , it 's a predictable chic flick that is neither comedic or romantic and is extraordinarily forgettable . If you like watching the same thing over and over then this movie will fit just perfect . I was also forced to watch this with my g/f at the time and it 's no surprise we are no longer together . I enjoy great movies that are wonderful to watch , while she just wants to see the same thing over and over again just with different actors . Nothing good to say about this movie . The title says it all . 1/10 ( one b/c I ca n't give it a zero .

Nothing about this movie is any good . It 's a formulaic predictable `` romantic comedy '' geared to make females force their significant others to watch ; In other words , it 's a surprisingly glamorous flick that is neither comedic or romantic and is extraordinarily memorable . If you like watching the same thing over and over then this movie will fit just perfect . I was also forced to watch this with my g/f at the time and it 's no surprise we are no longer together . I enjoy great movies that are wonderful to watch , down she just wants to see the same thing over and over again just with different acting . Nothing good to say about this movie .

This is not a film is a clever , witty and often heart touching movie . It 's a retrospective of a failed relationship between Michael Connor ( Michael Leydon Campbell ) and his estranged Irish girlfriend Grace Mckenna . Michael down on his luck decides to make a documentary replaying his whole relationship and what went wrong . He exploits his friendship with an actor he met at the gym Nadia ( Nadia Dajani ) who he gets to play Grace . The concept of this film is very original . Michaels relationship is shown from every point whether it 's a high or low . Michael Leydon Campbell pulls off a fantastic performance that makes you want to help him find Grace . If fact most of the characters pull off great performances except the puzzler . The puzzler is needed to move the plot along yet seems too surreal to exist in a coffee shop . His monologues are often overdrawn and pointless . This is proved when he says `` Out of this chaos , we 're all trying to create order . And out of the order , meaning . But in reality there is no such thing as meaning . Something only has meaning if we make it have meaning . `` < br / > < br / > The commentary saves this movie . The commentary is done in the vain of This is Spinal Tap and has Michael and his brother explain the problems they had while making the film . Michael offers a very funny self conscious commentary that makes for some very good belly laughs. < br / > < br / > Overall I 'd give this movie a 7/10 .

this cartoon is not right , lol I totally disagree with a lot of things it portrayed however it ended on a positive note , but as for me and mine we will not be viewing this in our household mainly because we fight against stereotypes every day and this cartoon just confirms what most white people feel black people act like < br / > < br / > the comment one of the little black girls made on the cartoon was that her boyfriend was so conscious ( he was white ) that really offended me that 's not something we as black people take lightly conscious is a state of being that black people achieve when they realize their true ability

I adore the Ln Chaney version of `` Phantom '' and I appreciate Webber 's version if only for the growing interest in the book , wish I find more of a mystery slash horror with the romantic aspects downplayed . I do n't approve of the fact that Andrew Lloyd Webber made the relationship between Raoul and Christine less zulchzulu < br / > < br / > Luckily since this is a comedic short with only Erik and Christine this version does n't even have to bother with any other characters. < br / > < br / > I thought I would still be waiting for another version to match up Lon 's performance . I was dead wrong . Leslie Nielson is fabulous as Erik though , of course this is a spoof . It 's still brilliant. < br / > < br / > I especially appreciated the fact that Erik looked more like a living corpse than an accident victim . I still have as of yet to see a Phantom like that , other than zulchzulu < br / > < br / > However , I do not recommend this short if you do n't like spoofs . Because this is in no way supposed to be taken seriously .

Due to rather dubious plate tectonics , Japan starts to slip under the sea .

It is at least as nationalistic , humourless and lacking in self-awareness as that Hollywood film would be though , and probably has even worse acting . It does have the hot evil chick from Battle Royale as one of the leads ... but she 's not even slightly evil , and is therefore much less hot. < br / > < br / > The film is much too long at 132 minutes , and gets worse and worse as it progresses towards a conclusion that had me in danger of puking . I certainly did n't care in the slightest whether Japan sank or not by the half way point , and well before the end I was trying to think of ways to expedite the process should I ever find myself in that situation for real. < br / > < br / > But , it does have nice special effects , and Kou Shibasaki is still pretty hot , so I magnanimously give it ... 3/10 .

It had its moments , but overall when I watched this cartoon as a child I was bored out of my mind . The only thing that kept me watching was the fact that it was a cartoon , probably my first exposure to anime . It is also one of my least favorite anime 's , I remember others one involving a giant ship in space that made no sense , but was more enjoyable because they were in space . I also remember one with these people dressed like birds that was a bit strange , but more entertaining . I do not really like car racing though at all , did not then and still do not so that is probably one of the reasons I did not care for this show even though today I am an avid anime fan . The characters were a bit goofy too , and then there was the horrible scenes where virtually no action was taking place that was probably used to cut down on animation costs and to pad the show . The gadgets in the cars were cool though and provided some entertainment for me back then . Overall , I find this show to be rather unwatchable compared to newer animes and some from the same era , but this is just a personal opinion I am sure many other reviewers love the show which is cool .

Surface was awesome , I do n't know how many Mondays I survived at school just by thinking about the new episode of surface . I loved it , sometimes I had to call home and tell my mom to tape it for me . I was pretty upset when I heard it was cancelled , I mean jeez way to let us hang . So , they can have their new Tina fay comedy ( you could n't pay me to watch that , I think seeing the commercials made me dumber ) . I 'm gon na miss my Monday night fix of Surface , even if my sister did make fun of me . although , kidnapped does look good and , they still have L & O : SVU ( i think , i still have to check ) ( i only wrote the 2 lines above , because they said i needed ten lines ) .

One of those movies in which there are no big twists whatsoever and you can predict pretty much whats is going to happen . Matt dillon was awesome once again , but the rest did n't played a bigger part as they should have. < br / > < br / > It was exciting in the beginning but kinda slow paced and predictable in the zulchzulu one of those flicks in which the good guy wins no matter happens.If you have absolutely nothing to do , you can give it a try I personally found it not worth watching . The story could have been more interesting and the director could have made it less of a B-movie by engineering a happy ending .

I saw this movie with a friend who ran a marathon with me , and we both had the same feeling about it : it was n't terribly motivating , and did n't even broach the idea of what a training schedule would look like , so that zulchzulu could have an idea of what it would take for them to train and run one . In fact there was almost zero technical information at all . I did n't expect this to be a tech-heavy instructional video , but when that info was near zero then the film just was n't balanced , and was n't particularly useful to zulchzulu contemplating their first run. < br / > < br / > There were other problems . Some of the very first images were people collapsing near death while trying to run a race . Yeah , real inspiring . The timing was also hard to follow , because it was semi chronological , but the filmmakers rarely gave you any good clues as to what point in time you were looking at . And they withheld information . You see that Kantor has an injury , and you just assume it 's from all her training , but then several scenes later they finally clue you in that it 's because she tripped over a pine cone in her yard. < br / > < br / > Some parts were very good , though , like the bit about a woman defying race officials who wanted the run to be men-only , and the coverage of a Chicago race where two of the runners portrayed earlier were vying for first place. < br / > < br / > Off the top of my head , I 'm thinking of other chronological documentaries , like Supersize Me , and Grass , where you always know where you are , and you feel like they told you everything you wanted to know. < br / > < br / > In short , it would n't have been hard to make a better marathon film , and as it stands I ca n't recommend this to zulchzulu to educate and motivate them to try one , because I do n't think it will have that effect .

As a bit of a Michael Dudikoff fan I sat down to watch one of his good old-fashioned actioners - I 'm still waiting. < br / > < br / > The film is based around a group of US commandos trying to get rid of a bunch of Syrian terrorists who have taken over a nuclear reactor . Maddie Reese ( Felicity Waterman ) was an English member of the commando unit and of course she became romantically involved with Tom Dickson ( Dudikoff ) . I must ask since when have the Brits had female SAS members - as far as I know if they are ever needed they are got from other sources . Even if they did I can pretty much guarantee they would n't be as wet as Maddie Reese . I would also think that Tom Dickson would be a little more responsible in his position - or have I lost the plot ? ! I know there is always the romantic angle in these films as it helps provide the feelgood factor , but does it have to be throughout , especially when there 's more important things to be taken into consideration - like nuclear warfare ! < br / > < br / > The signing of the treaty on the US aircraft carrier intrigued me . The `` sacred pen '' as carried by one of the supposed TV news crew - are there were no security checks to find out who or what goes on board one of these ships , especially with the calibre of people that was on it . Mind you if there was , I suppose there would be no story. < br / > < br / > I could go on , but when it got to `` inner body bomb defusion '' in order to safely remove a bullet I gave up on the action drama movie bit and enjoyed it for the comedy it actually was. < br / > < br / > By the way , would a news reporter really say `` Downtown Damascus '' ? ?

Having just borrowing the Series one DVD collection from my somewhat obsessive brother , I was expecting to get through the first couple of episodes and handing it back . I have just found myself yelling at the screen for ending the first season on a cliff-hanger - a mere week later and I 've watched the entire season . Where I found the time for this I have no idea. < br / > < br / > This show is great . It does n't take itself too seriously , it has likeable characters who are well acted , and the special effects ( ignoring the odd tacky puppet here and there ) are `` special '' enough to give it that polished feel . At first , I did n't realise it was filmed mostly here , and it seemed odd to hear so many Aussie accents on a Sci-Fi show - it was most amusing for the main character ( John ) to land back in Sydney midway through the first season. < br / > < br / > I believe this show 's biggest strength is the vision that the creators of the show obviously had . They have gradually introduced new aspects of the characters that have explain previous actions , and the continue to smatter John 's conversations with slang in an amusing and unforced way . On top of that , having watched the entire Voyager and Next Gen series , I see little plot rip-off - so it has managed to maintain a sense of originality throughout the entire first season . I hope the rest of it is as good. < br / > < br / > Farscape is not like any other Sci-Fi that I 've enjoyed in the past . I heard that the fourth season was n't as good as the first three , and I am now quite annoyed that they cancelled it before the 5th . I hope that they revive this show - with the same actors in either a movie or another series . It would be a shame to leave so many plot lines unfinished as I imagine that with a show that 's had so much thought put into it , to have it axed without adequate warning will leave me feeling zulchzulu < br / > < br

Where do I begin , its one of the most frustrating movies I 've seen because it makes a lot of sense in terms of the point but it comes off as seriously stupid . A movie about a ghost inhabited bed ? ? The first 2 minutes of the movie shows a black and white flashback of a weird looking fat dude going dominatrix on a Fabienne from Pulp Fiction lookalike contest winner and strangles her with his tie . This is supposed to set up how the bed factors into the story . Still though , if you wanted an opening to keep people interested or send them away early , having a strangulation is the way to do it . Fast forward to the present day , a married couple moves into an apartment with a friendly landlord and begins unpacking their things , so far everything 's normal . Then one night while doing the hippity dippity on a single mattress , they realize they need a bed frame . This is where things get fishy , why did n't they bring or buy a zulchzulu damn bed frame before they got there ? We learn that the door leading to the attic where the first 2 minutes took place does n't open but then once the couple realizes they need a bed frame , the door magically opens . They go up to the attic and discover the old bed frame and decide to bring it downstairs and their lovemaking days are saved ... or so they thought . The rest of the movie centers around the both of them being haunted by the bedframe . The female is an artist so she starts drawing up the ghoulish images she dreams about and the male is a photographer so he starts having his models act as if they 're bring tortured or tied up . ( one of which has gray hair and appears over 50 years old , yuck ) The female grows increasingly scared and she discovers the house she lives in was once a haven for serial killings and murders which bring about the end to the movie . They find the friendly landlord murdered ( which makes no sense since ghosts need to take a human form to kill ) and decide to get the hell out of dodge . While

This movie may be the best ever if you like watching movies and laughing and then subjecting your friends to watch those movies too . If you 're anything like me , and you probably are , you 'll be laughing for years to come at the jokes in this movie . One of the funniest parts is when Gus sharks some money off a guy with kids and then the guy takes those kids into the forest like Hansel and Gretel then he and his wife go home with them . The soup scene kitchen is rife with comic genius of buffoonery : `` Inspection officer -- Here ! '' and the lines to follow will stay in my mind forever probably . When I have shown this movie to my friends , they usually say `` What was that ? ! ? '' so if you 're in the mood for one of those types of movies , yippee ! This movie is so OOP it 's not funny anymore , so probably the easiest way to get it would be online auctioning . The first time I saw it was from a rental .

You ca n't really blame the movie maker for glorifying Che because the industry is all about money . Most of the stories you hear about this `` freedom fighter '' are absolute tripe fabricated by the communist Cuban government after Che 's death . Che was a murdering scumbag from day one . Here 's a list of the great things Che did for Cuba 1 ) Executed thousands of innocent Cuban Men , Women , AND CHILDREN to satisfy his lust for power. < br / > < br / > 2 ) Destroyed Cuba 's economy and good standing with the rest of the world . The Cuban peso used to be equal with the American dollar . Now it 's basically zulchzulu < br / > < br / > 3 ) Continually failed at all things that involved diplomacy , economy , and the military . He never made it past his first year in Medical School , and he was only in one real battle , in which he surrendered with a fully loaded gun. < br / > < br / > 4 ) He took over the largest estate in Cuba to set up for himself . He had a Yacht , a 60 '' custom made TV from America , a swimming pool , and a view of the Ocean . So much for shunning the materialist life style. < br / > < br / > Cuba today is an absolutely destitute country , and you have no one but Che and the Castro brothers to thank for it . If you go to Cuba today you will not be allowed out of the tourist areas . If you did manage to get out of what you 're meant to see , you would find slums , beggars , and zulchzulu < br / > < br / > If you think any of what I 'm saying is untrue then go do some studying . Compare Cuban exports from 1950/60 to those of today ; talk with people who survived or who had parents in the so called Cuban `` revolution '' of the 1960 's ; read all of the reports of murdered innocents ; read the reports from people who served under Che and Castro and fled because of what an evil , disgusting human being he

Never have i sat down for six hours straight to watch a miniseries , but Changi changed that . I 'm not going to lie , I know some Aussie flicks can be pathetic and boring ( actually , i quite like Aussie flicks myself but maybe I 'm biased ) but Changi is on a completely different lane . Although not historically accurate , as we are continually reminded , the show combines superb acting , an excellent script and the addition of humour to provide us with an entertaining and emotional perception of life in a POW camp in zulchzulu < br / > < br / > Keep in mind , the show was not supposed to be a documentary so do n't let any factual errors disappoint you . < br / > < br / > This series exposes such creative writing by John Doyle ( aka Roy Slaven ) who is known more for his comedy than anything else , and an excellent director and actors move this creativity along perfectly . If you want to see how much hard work went into this series , visit the official website , it is really interesting and you 'll learn a lot about true accounts of changi . < br / > < br / > If you have n't seen Changi yet , make sure you are doing nothing for a whole day because you 'll want to watch the series in its entirety .

This movie is filled with so many idiotic moments , that you wonder how it ever got made . For example , they get into the sewers from the Capitol and while they 're in the sewers you can see signs pointing to various government buildings , and then they come up in the middle of the street ! I highly doubt that government buildings would provide public access through the city sewer system . Anyways , I gave this a 2 instead of a 1 just because of its comic value . I laughed the whole way through at the idiocy of everyone involved in this movie .
