Fun mix of vampires and martial arts is a bit of a mess plot-wise. No one thinks anything of this movie. I actually liked a few characters, and was disappointed with the majority. Not a movie worth watching, and I am not as much of an avid martial artist as I normally am. The fights between the two were fairly cool. I'm surprised they didn't try to have this on the movie. Would have been fun. It had some nice fights, although not the ones I

Fun mix of vampires and martial arts is a bit of a mess plot-wise. First, there's a very bad dialogue which goes from being lame and stilted to ridiculous and overblown. There's no reason to go for the big-name actors who have already been used in the first two episodes so we'll have to accept less than average talent for some characters.<br /><br />Then, as a story, there's nothing in particular. And there's no real storyline at

You'd think that with Ingrid Bergman and Warner Baxter that this film would have been easy to forget. That's not necessarily the case. The fact of the matter is, though, that the two co-stars of the film were not in their prime at the time. In fact, even though Bergman and Baxter are both in their early 40's, this picture is more than fifty years old. This was probably a low-budget version of "The Three Stooges" of 1949

You'd think that with Ingrid Bergman and Warner Baxter that this film would have to get some kind of positive publicity, but no. It comes across as boring, with no interest in what was going on with the characters, and no one feeling the urge to help these characters out or even just be involved in their lives.<br /><br />The story is as follows: "W.C.

In director Eric Stanze's 'ISOYC, IPOYG', he delivers an excellent performance as the protagonist of the story. What makes the film really enjoyable is how Stanze manages to make the subject of the story something truly complex. We see a lot of psychological elements going on. He tries to present a picture of people being torn apart and then they come together in unexpected ways. With this backdrop, we also see one of the most intense and dramatic scenes: when the characters sit around

In director Eric Stanze's 'ISOYC, IPOYG', a British-based news site specializing in breaking news, its news is more about the 'World' then it is about how much is hidden, what is known, and the role of news makers in society. With a cast of British talent, the film offers a very different viewing experience. The cinematography and editing in 'ISOYC' are in the traditional 'Hollywood' style and a number of the characters are

Dear Friends and Family,<br /><br />I guess if one could get enough money and friends, it was all the same to them.<br /><br />This is a film about the effects of the Depression on an old couple, played by the best of these actors, played by the best of these characters.

Reviewed at the Sept 12, 2006 2nd screening at the Paramount 1 theatre in London, British Columbia. It was very fun but did not draw any laughs. It was also pretty much the same kind of a movie that made it to television in British Canada but i think that it has much the same appeal. The two main characters were very appealing.

When I first heard that Jack Black and Kyle Gass would make a movie about the early nineties in my high school's cinema club, I was skeptical at first. Not that this movie is bad, it is pretty funny.

I've already seen spin-offs of cartoons such as The Flintstones, and The Flintstones was simply a gem that kept repeating itself over and over, and in one fell swoop, it is now coming back to do what its predecessors failed to do. I was surprised it had a sequel so close to the original. The story and the way the characters were created are essentially the same. One of the reasons it worked so well in the first place is because of the animation that is still so impressive

OK, forget all the technical inconsisties or the physical impossibilities of a TV drama.

All the police can do is wait for the killer to do his job and leave a bloody trail (no police dogs or cameras are shown).<br /><br />The murder is carried out by a killer who is an

Literally every aspect of this science-fiction low-budget flick falls under a category, from its plot, to its script, to even the title itself. The dialogue is almost as incoherent as that of a typical sci-fi thriller, and the plot is absolutely predictable. But the film itself comes off as a positive rather than a negative experience, because of the genuinely original, interesting, surprising, even touching moments. The film is about a boy who can read other people's thoughts, so

Literally every aspect of this science-fiction low-budget flick falls under the "poorly-directed" category.

Frankly I don't understand why this movie has been such a big "must see" for critics. I'd say that was the problem (other than that the story and performance have nothing to do with each other) - the movie was just boring. There are moments that are very hard to look at as a viewer, but they are not really shown. The acting is also uninspired. It was very disappointing to me, since it's the first movie I had heard that was a big hit

But a great cast! Jonathan Pryce, Kathy Bates, Rupert Everett, Richard Chamberlain, Ed Harris, and Peter Boyle. The script is superb. The film was really inspired, the cinematography is brilliant. My favorite part of the film was when the doctor is talking to the patient and she's like "I like this!" and he's like "You're beautiful!" The whole film was a complete dreamlike sequence. The music was a little off, but that's it. The characters were

The movie's theme song (like most of my songs) is awesome and even though it's not catchy, it's just pure, true, music. Even the background music is fantastic.

I doubt much of this film is based on a true story. At the height of the Depression, many artists who made art for the public were unable to make enough money. The production values are lower then the early 70's (but still pretty good) to try to be as "modern" as possible. I would have to say that it is by no means great. For me, this is a classic American film because it has nothing to do with any real life issues. It's an interesting

I doubt much of this film is based on a true story. At the end there is a montage with a fake scene of a car driving through a snowy forest, like the one in "Nightmare on Elm Street". This is only for the sake of the "special effect".<br /><br /><br />Overall, if you don't find your stomach churning after the first 10 minutes you're probably too busy thinking of the last 10 minutes to be concerned with the ending.

OK, I admit that I still associate Sophie Marceau with La Boucherie and other great French films in my mind, but this is still one of her best. The film is all about Marceau's mother, who is in the middle of her pregnancy and so is ailing. Marceau makes for the perfect mom. Her role, too, was great. I especially love her performance in one scene, while the children and her elderly mother look on.<br /><br

This is the only movie I have ever seen that has prompted me to write this review. It's a very sad movie as a lot of the characters are such a disappointment (not only the main character, but every character in the cast) and it goes on for far too long. The movie is really nothing but a great comedy, and I think a very good cast all worked their so hard to make this film a success. They were so lucky to have a good film director in their midst.

This is the only movie I have ever seen that has prompted me to write about it. Its very special. It has the biggest ensemble cast, and all of the actors are very credible. It is a very moving film. For my money, the best scene is with the three leads in the end where the story continues in a very slow way.<br /><br />I hope it is available for DVD release in the future. Its the only movie I could watch it over a thousand times.

Director Frank De Sade seems to have worked very hard to keep the story from getting boring, and that's all it took. The movie doesn't attempt to be original, nor do some of its ideas seem original at all

More eeriness and dark secrets released in the final parts of Lars Von Trier's film. This is a rather boring way to spend a few minutes. There is a lot of gore in this but very little real action. It also is highly enjoyable to sit back in the dark and watch. Watchable, but not particularly memorable. There is no suspense in the beginning. After about 15 minutes there is a nice opening sequence that serves as a teaser for the next chapter. And then there is

This is a road movie. At least the movie is in yellow anf the color in the front of the screen of the back of the film that matches the front, it doesn't mean it is one road, it is a road movie. You don't go out here to see the cars or all you have to see, you go out to have fun with your friends. This movie has a great soundtrack that makes the music and the story more enjoyable and you don't mind seeing the same characters

This is a road movie. At least the movie is in yellow anf a couple of times.<br /><br />Lets face it, this story has nothing to do with the movie "The Shawshank Redemption". So what the heck am I talking about. The plot is about a girl and her mother being taken from a mental institution for mental ill health. Her mother is released and she tries to get her mother back by working to prove her innocence.<br /><br />Oh

Freebird is the perfect marriage of road trip comedy, gang caper, and a tale of a broken down old man's attempts to come back to life. One night in the desert of Arizona, a man is awakened in the middle of the night by a voice that is haunting him for days to come. With the help of the ghosts, a carpenter (Robert Loggia) is able to restore a lost car that was stolen in the desert and a strange woman named Gertrude

Freebird is the perfect marriage of road trip comedy, gang caper, and action. The two guys behind the story - the main character Steve McQueen (the legendary Mickey Rourke) and the gangly and lanky (but totally awesome) McQueen - have their moments. Not every scene can be described as the best. But then again, we all know how McQueen can do anything from being able to throw a great punch to making a great fist. But then you hear him talk

was this tim meadows first acting role in a movie? the character, the father, is a big old jerk, is a "poor student" and also a "bully" in front of his daughter (the sister), which is the same as in the book, and the same as the movie. his kid daughter is the same as in the book, which may also be a coincidence. The father makes an interesting character, with the mother playing a strong wife and mother, but he still

was this tim meadows first acting role in a movie? the character, mia was played like a baby, not for crying out loud, and the scene from the top of the hill i can honestly say that i am never going to go there again ever. it was just terrible. i never got to have anything to think or feel about anything. a bunch of dorks with nothing to do and no life at all got together to make it a movie. the characters are terrible. that is

This is possibly one of my favorite films. It tells the tale of a young boy who is forced to watch a movie of all the animals on TV because his school doesn't have television. The only exception is one cat, and it is so tiny that the two cat's hide out in the closet. The boy, a fan of the animals, and his friend, a huge animal lover, find themselves drawn to the girl and her cat (the boy) which is a dog and cat, and

This is possibly one of my favorite films. It tells the tale of a man who gets to see a ghost of a woman that he has always wondered about. It does not need much explanation to say that, you can see it right in the beginning of the film. Not for those that don't know, this is a remake of the 1964 movie with the same cast (except now it is in a different part of town).<br /><br />In the remake, the movie comes to

This was a truly epic production that had all the elements that one would want from a movie as great as this. It would be a shame if it did not hold up. But we will never know what was in the director's mind when he was making this. If you have read the book I suggest reading that as well. Some of the story scenes in the book are actually filmed in the movie and not in the book. So it has more of what was already made and it does not have

This was a truly epic production that had all the elements that one would want to see in a film about a legend. The plot is intriguing and interesting in a series of flashbacks, in which the story takes place in the 19th Century, it is hard not to find the charm in the characters and the performances. It is a wonderful film. It has a beautiful, atmospheric atmosphere which is very difficult to explain. It does not rely on any gimmicks but rather a simple plot that the viewer is

As an old white housewife I can still appreciate that Laurence Fishburne and Catherine de Niro went along for the ride. It also shows why they weren't allowed to work in a studio. This film is one of those films that doesn't follow the script exactly but you know it's going somewhere. With some great scenes, one of my favorite scenes with a young boy and his grandmother and some great sound and camera work, the picture was never truly complete. You have to understand that

As an old white housewife I can still appreciate that Laurence Fishburne would be so taken by the "good" side of the Negro. Not surprisingly in this era of Hollywood racism there are also some racist elements.<br /><br />In my opinion the best scene in this film comes when the African-American family meets the old lady. Her son gets into an argument with the "good" family about the chores. He's a white man who's never been seen by them in
