I rented I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW
|
I rented I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW yesterday, and while I was preparing to go on to it, it occurred to me that I have seen what might be the second, third and fourth sex films of the 1960s - the others being BENEATH the STAIR and DESPERATION. I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW is the most artistic of the group, being also the most avant garde in style, with a much more coherent plot, and being longer and more dramatic. However, I think BENEATH the STAIR might be more enjoyable, in that though perhaps not nearly as well made as I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW or as good in

I rented I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW as part of a bargain lot I had for an auction, where I paid $1.50 for the 2-disc set. I am a huge cult movie buff, and I've seen a TON of cult movies I've never even heard of, and I've come across hundreds of people who love cult movies to the point where they are like, "Oh, you haven't watched a certain cult film, you're missing out on a wonderful thing!" I get that. But, to be honest, this film is the worst 80 minute waste of my life. A TON of it is incredibly boring and drawn out

"I Am Curious: Yellow" is a film that was banned for more than a decade in Sweden, on the grounds that it contains gratuitous simulated homosexuality. The ban has been lifted since, but it remains a landmark, not only in cinematic history, but in cultural history, since its release coincided with the advent of the gay and feminist movements.<br /><br />The film is an experimental film, that attempts to transcend the usual cinematic conventions. This is accomplished to a great extent, but not as much as one would hope.<br /><br />The film follows the adventures of a girl, the titular "Yellow"<br /><br />The film begins with the death

"I Am Curious: Yellow" is a film that not even the biggest exploitationist lover could truly appreciate. It is one of the worst films ever made, even for the exploitationist crowd, and I can't even find the motivation to praise the film. There are many movies that are incredibly bad but entertaining, and there are films that are bad but, despite this, some merit like "Manos" and "The Devil's Diary", for example. Even among the exploitation crowd there are some films with some merit, like "Goblin" or "Myra". "I Am Curious: Yellow" is a film that could easily deserve a 1/10

If only to avoid making
|
If only to avoid making a fool of yourself, don't go for this film! I am disappointed and hurt by the low quality of this movie. I didn't expect such a high and boring story. Why would I want to spend almost 2 hour on such a story?<br /><br />I don't think the director really made much of a film from this story. The screenplay was way below average. I was bored with the whole situation. Too much talking and not enough action. To say something about the quality: the special effects were bad and the music didn't help. So what if you're making a documentary? It's too short to tell

If only to avoid making your child angry at such a well known "classic" of the early 1980s. Although it does get high marks for its campiness, it also offers high marks for some of the worst editing and special effects I've seen. (How you could have a spaceship with a futuristic 3-D control panel yet have a woman speaking to a man like a 1930s woman, I will never know. Not to mention that the women had the 1930s hairdo while men and most of those woman had 1983 hairstyles.)<br /><br />The only thing that

|
This film was probably inspired and influenced by the recent popularity of "Revenge of the Nerds" in Europe. The producers wanted to cash in on that success and so they took a great deal of liberties with the original script.<br /><br />The film's producers took the novel's story of the American invasion of Japan, and changed it to an attack of Britain by the Japanese navy's 3rd Fleet. If you've ever read the novel, you'll notice that the storyline doesn't match the film, especially the part of the film where "Kato the Tiger" decides that he will get a "new toy" in Tokyo. There's simply

This film was probably inspired by the 1964 film, The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao. <br /><br />Lao was a good guy and the movie seemed very silly. The title character in this film is a good guy. You can tell from the first minute or two. The bad guys are the only characters in this film you could care less about. I don't mean that in a negative way. Maybe the characters are so bad you really do care about them getting their due. It seems to be the point of the movie you do care. The main point is that a guy gets into trouble and must be saved by

Oh, brother...after hearing about this series for several months on the "SyFy" channel, i thought it would be cool to see what it was all about. It was definitely worth waiting for...the entire thing had its own magic, which made it so refreshing to watch. This is the best show i have EVER seen that is on TV. The special effects make "BTK" look like a Disney Channel movie, and the storyline is just outstanding. These people were so bad that they scared the crap out of me. I will definitely be following the series. I'm only sorry i didn't hear about this sooner, cause this is one of the best things

|
I would put this at 8 for the first part. The best of the three movies that came out of the early 1950's. They all were great movies, but as I watched the last two and compared them to this first one, the second simply wasn't as good. It was actually quite predictable, in my mind, which would have bothered me had it had the title "Part I: The Perfect Strangers." It, however, had the perfect title, "Unreleased."
|
I would put this at the very bottom of the list of awful movies based on video games. It has all the problems of having an actual plot in the script which ruins the entire concept. The entire film revolves around saving the planet, but I can watch any movie for that - The Last Starfighter, Star Wars, Godzilla... the list is literally endless. It's just not enjoyable at all - the effects are horrible, the acting could have been better even for a B-class film and the whole setting is so clichéd. Don't waste your time...

Whoever wrote the screenplay for "The Rookie" is either stupid or stupidly evil. Or, maybe there's a third option? I don't know. The writers of the movie should see "The Rookie" as an example of how not to make an inspirational sports movie. We can see that the writer of the original story that became the hit on Broadway, "The Perfect Man," was a fan of "The Rookie." But if the audience is to find the movie the least bit inspirational, the writers should have made the movie more well rounded and more accurate and believable.<br /><br />"The Rookie" begins its journey as a true story in 1

Whoever wrote the screenplay for this movie was a complete idiot.

When I first saw a preview for this film, I was a bit reluctant to check it out. It seemed a bit slow-paced for my taste. However, when I finally saw it, I was glad I'd taken the time - this movie is really superb.<br /><br />The first thing I noticed in this movie was the excellent cinematography. The entire film was captured in an almost dreamlike quality, with a lot of light and shadow in almost every scene. (I think this was intentional, and I agree with them.) I'm sure a lot of effort went into the camera-work here, and it definitely paid off in the end. This movie

When I first saw a trailer for this movie (way before it was released) I was excited. I had heard great things about it and I had even thought about attending its midnight release. But when I actually watched it for the first time, I could not help but feel disappointed. <br /><br />It starts off great!! In the very beginning we get to see our lead characters on screen for first time.<br /><br />We get to see a little bit about their backgrounds and they have a few scenes together. So far so good. But things change in a big way about 15 minutes into the movie. By the time it is halfway

Who are these "They"- the "they" they don't even call by their names- people in The Stone Angel who seem to live around Agnes? Even more puzzling is why does Agnes (Shelley Winters) live with them... not even she has an answer. That's one of the most important questions one can ask about this very unusual movie which at least gets a couple parts to work out. The opening sequence is justly famous for its brilliance- if one could have watched it in a different film, it would be an instant classic- so in this film one can only sit back and marvel at the film's audacity.

Not that I've seen that many movies, but I see enough to go on. Here is the plot: Woman gets pregnant and discovers life. Woman's husband does not want a baby and wants them to abort. Wife doesn't.

This is said to be inspired by the actual facts. To my knowledge, it is. But that does not excuse the filmmaker's contempt for his audience. After some years of the real-life story, we hear his first wife announce that she is pregnant. In the world of fiction, this would be a time for wonder, exploration, and growth. This isn't. It is a time for murder. <br /><br />The movie is called "Murder: One," because the filmmaker thinks that if the word "murder" is mentioned at least once, it will have the effect of focusing the attention on the murder and its consequences for the perpetrator,

It was great to see my favourite movie in my birthday!! How this movie comes to my view, I don't know, because I don't remember a thing about it... But when I saw it, I fell in love with it. But the part I liked the best was the character of the sister. At the end I remember watching it again but with an other end. I guess it should be OK, what they put on a dvd is what they consider the best. But for me it isn't OK. It would be better to leave it the way it is. And at least, I like how this movie ends.

It was great to see Robert Mitchum again although this was not his best work, I thought. The two women, (Deanna, the wife, and Betsy, the girlfriend, each played by Dorothy Malone and Barbara Bel Geddes, were excellent. Mitchum portrayed the husband whose cheating on his wife was found out which drove him to killing her, and it all ended badly for the couple. The cast was very good. The story line was OK, but a little predictable since I could pretty much figure out how it was going to all end from start to finish. I had to hold onto the fast forward button since the ending was the part I would

I can't believe that those involved in the making of this movie actually thought it was worth making and then spending time watching it.

One was a really bad 1980s music video that I've tried to block my memory from but I still can't and the other is the fact that some of the people in this movie seem to be having a hell of a fun time while they're singing.

Never cast models and Playboy
|
Never cast models and Playboy cover girls in the supporting roles. Not that there are so many actors who have the capability to deliver a real believable performance, but the ones that we have are pretty much limited. Now, this is the kind of performance which the ones with really big noses should give. We've all seen women, so, we know how hard it is to act like one. <br /><br />Sissy Spacek's performance is truly believable and shows us that she has the talent to get the job done.

Never cast models and Playboy pinups to play the roles of screenwriters and professional women. No matter how "real" I try to make their stories, without the "real" "real" women, I am left with an impression of a world that has nothing to do with the one in which I live and breathe, in which I live and breathe, and in which you live and breathe. Why not just do a movie "model" and have a model be a model? I am not suggesting that everyone in the world is a beautiful blonde, but why not start from there?

Once the car is turned over, it turns from 1.5 hours of story telling to 1.5 hours of car blowing things up. It's just a waste of time. And they try to make the movie dramatic with music over something the car should care about like a car crash? This is just dull. I can only recommend watching this movie in small bits to keep yourself awake.

Today I found "They All Laughed", which was released back in 1951, and I finally had time to watch it. I am still in awe with what I saw, which has to be one of the funniest romantic comedies that I have ever seen. The comedy is all top-notch, it's as sharp as any Hitchcock, only with more romance. Cary Grant has a rare comedic role, and it's the sweet kind (he has a more humorous role than his usual "cool guy" of a character), as well as a very light love interest with a lot of comedy. I was especially impressed by Margaret Sullavan
|
Today I found "They All Laughed". It's a nice story and pretty funny in places. It also has two great comedians - Dom DeLuise and Jack Lemmon. The problem I have with this, and probably why it failed at the box office, is that it is a vehicle for Dom DeLuise. I like Dom DeLuise and Jack Lemmon both, but in this movie I am in the position of someone who had invested $4 in a stock and now it's worth $6.40.

My interest in Dorothy Stratten's life was piqued by a mention of her life in the 'Wild Women of Wongo' DVD documentary.<br /><br />I went online and read all I could about her but not enough.

My interest in Dorothy Stratten goes back to the time when the tragic death of her husband and her unborn 2nd child took her life at such a young age on November 26, 1990.

I think I will make it short and sweet. This movie should only be seen by those who like to watch people get beaten, shot, beaten, raped, shot, brutally killed, beaten, raped, then beaten all over again. You get the idea, this is NOT a romantic comedy, it's just a really sick portrayal of murder. I was expecting a romantic comedy. I'm not sure why you would want to see this movie, but if you like to see people being brutally beaten, then you will LOVE this flick.

If the crew behind "Zombie Wars" are indeed from "Zombie Wars," they should give the name to some other cheap, halfassed zombie flick.

1st watched 8/3/2003 - 2 out of 10: A very hokey movie with a bad script, no chemistry between the actors and a laughable ending that goes on and on and on, I thought it would never end. Why did I watch this movie? Well, I was bored and I had nothing better to do. I guess to sum it up, this movie looks like a bad student film. As for the plot, it seems like we've seen this plot a zillion times before and usually with much better actors, like THE INCUBUS, THE OTHER, EARTH, and the list goes on and on.

There was a big party over at her house and I remember there were at least 10 big tubs of popcorn and a movie of that size deserved one.<br /><br />Unfortunately The Haunting was absolutely the WORST movie she has ever brought over to watch.<br /><br />-The house looks like it was created 10 minutes before shooting and this made the "scary" house even worse. <br /><br />-The Haunting used a low budget of about 20,000 dollars.<br /><br />

Amateur, no budget films can be extremely funny, so when I saw that Zombie Bloodbath was an amateur film, I expected to laugh. I laughed a bit a couple of times, but I was not laughing by the end of it, and I was also very disappointed. Zombie Bloodbath follows two couples on a vacation in a town with a history of zombie attacks. A zombie attack happens and one of the couples escapes while the other couple stays in town. A bunch more zombies come and attack.<br /><br />The first thing people may not like about Zombie Bloodbath is that their is only ONE creature and he/she/it (I don't

Amateur, no budget films can sometimes present quite an enjoyable escapade but this is not one of them. Despite the apparent good-hearted intentions of writer/director James D'Arc, things just become increasingly tedious. There's a good premise but it is not developed far enough. Not even the performances from the non-professional cast have much impact. Not even a bit of a good laugh.

OK its not the best film ever made but you can't beat a good laugh.<br /><br />Although I am normally not a fan of musicals, I didn't mind this film, its not a great film but I didn;t mind it.<br /><br />I have to say the actors weren't up to the calibre of their other work. But I couldn't really blame them,the songs aren't that great but the dancing from the leads was good, with such great sets as the studio, the church & house.<br /><br />I'll say it again, not a brilliant film, but you can't beat a good laugh.<br

OK its not the best film around. It should have gone for something a little more dramatic. But it is a touching coming of age drama. The storyline is simple and well told. Its a simple story about a twelve year old boy who has to work the night shift to help his mother pay the bills. <br /><br />Most people say that the kids in this film are just too cute and angelic. But I don't think its right. They are 12 year old children in a 1950's American coal mining town. These kids would have to learn to grow up fast on the streets. I have seen kids like this

Some films that you pick up off the $4.99 shelf at the video store, end up being complete garbage without giving us something we want or like. And it's easy to toss such films immediately to the dusty corner at the bottom of the shelf. But, if you have to pay the amount of $25.00 from your own money and have to put up with the embarrassment of having to deal with your friends when you show what you paid $25.00 for, what would you do with the film? That's one thing that I really enjoyed with 'The 40 Year Old Virgin'...and it seemed to

Some films that you pick up for five dollars deserve to be just that and this is one of them. It was just bad. This film is an attempt of a horror film that isn't scary and contains no scares whatsoever, only a few decent stalker moments. There are a few decent, but unoriginal death scenes and a slightly decent, but incredibly stupid ending, but that's all there is. There's no plot and the movie doesn't seem to know what it wants to be so it's a horrible mess. The acting is not as bad as it could be and the direction isn't too bad either.

I received this movie as a Christmas gift and watched it with family in a very foggy England. This is a truly wonderful film that we will come back to many times.<br /><br />Many of the comments have mentioned how realistic the family dynamics and their response to the death of a daughter are. I cannot imagine a scenario as delicate and heartbroken as the one portrayed in this film and I truly find myself thinking about it a few days on. The acting is brilliant as well. I particularly liked Polly Walker's subtle performance. How many of us would realise that every person grieving might behave in a completely different way to the next?. Even though I am not

I received this movie as a Christmas present for 1994 and I saw this today on cable and I must say this is an awful movie.

And Shue just so happens to be the former master of a Chinese gang, which happens to be lead by a man who is the brother to one the lead guys.

It's hard to say of this film what will appeal to you most: the awfulness of it all, or the sheer awfulness of it.<br /><br />It is difficult to believe that a man who wrote so well and created such memorable works of literature, could fail to

I have not seen many of Mr. John Cleese's roles, though I think I have seen almost all his writing work and all of his direction. I also saw his early TV show in the UK and have to say that in his TV comedies Mr. John Cleese's humour is rather light and quite clever; but in his movies his humour is more crude. Here it can be very crude. The characterisation is light and unconvincing, mostly because it feels a bit too much as if it was cast, rather than conceived for Mr. John Cleese himself. As an Englishman I thought Mr. John Cleese was rather bad in

You have to admire Brad Sykes as a writer. He's already given us some wonderful screen adaptations of Robert Bloch's books "Halloween" (and "Return of Laurie Strode") and, more recently: "The Evil Dead".

So, if you're not prepared for a long "road trip" and an unlikely quest tale, you will probably dislike this film.<br /><br />Sykes and Director Andrew Fleming make a nice and comfortable team to have with the project.

As a Southern Baptist, it seems an honor to have this in my collection. This film could have been a 100% accurate and would still have been one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It is a huge embarrassment to any religious people, anywhere, to associate their beliefs with this film. It just doesn't even hold together enough to do what it is supposed to do. The acting is so-so at best. Many of the key characters are so stereotypically made that the actors cannot rise above them. I would not recommend this film to those with an open mind.

My experience with this group is that they tend to be very conservative, but they believe in being very nice to one another, and that is really the spirit of this film.

The annoying mouse and lullaby that has so captivated fans of this film for decades is a perfect example of how a little music done well can make or break a film. It was done so successfully by Bernard Hoffer and it became so popular, that for about twenty years it was used in all of MGM's mouse cartoons. Eventually we got tired of hearing it in almost every mouse cartoon and got to the point where we simply closed the covers of the DVD box set. To say that this song is timeless would be to give it an injustice. There is something about the simplicity of the little mouse and lullaby that will not be forgotten for a long time.

Although this film was not in the documentary section (it was a feature film), it was a Sundance selection. Although it was shown as if it were a documentary, it was heavily stylized, but I found this stylistic approach to create a much more thought provoking film than a completely straight-jacketed documentary.<br /><br />The story is simple: it follows two boys on opposite sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and how both are affected by the constant military surveillance and checkpoints.

I saw this at the Edinburgh film festival last week and was disappointed, not only in the acting which was poor - I thought Peter Burke and the other actors in the film, apart from Donald Sutherland, had nothing to work with, and certainly couldn't hold a candle to Sutherland in terms of the audience appeal, but in the story itself. The story was disjointed, inconsistent, and seemed to make little sense overall, and I was unsure as to what the film was really about. A lot of the film was based on flashbacks, and I had to keep checking the synopsis to reassure myself that they were meant to be flashbacks, because if they

Ned Kelly (Ledger), the infamous Australian outlaw hero known throughout the world as one of life's good guys. The true story is presented here from the Australian point of view which is very interesting to see, because here in England, where Kelly was hanged in England, they think the story is quite the opposite; which is very odd I thought, because they're always telling the world how bad these bad guys we've got here in Britain. As I said, from an Australian point of view, so you need to understand the country's point of view.<br /><br />The whole film is well executed with a strong lead cast who were quite good. However, I

Ned Kelly (Ledger), the infamous outlaw of 19th century who was executed for a crime he did not commit. The story of Ned is told through flashbacks in the form of the letters the convict wrote in jail to the sister who loves him and her daughter who is the best friend of the woman he once loved.<br /><br />Ledger was nominated for leading man in the Film Critics Awards and was named Best Actor in the Australian Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards.

They constructed this one as though they were making a B flick. The characters have zero credibility: the doctor is an idiot, the wife has no redeeming qualities, the father is a jerk, and the "hero" has no sense of what's really important. You can't take any scene seriously; not the dialogue, the acting, the humor, the characters, it's all just "ho hum". This would be funny if it hadn't been so pathetic.<br /><br />There is the potential for a good movie here, but they just threw away the opportunity.

What does this film actually offer to the fans of this actor? Why, nothing but a slapdash collection of scenes stolen from "The Rock" and a plot so cheap they even admit it.

This has to be the first documentary since I saw Michael Moore with "Roger and Me" that really left me feeling completely dumbfounded. Here are some of the reasons why, as a viewer. <br /><br />1.

Why is there no one from there, or who knows the city? Perhaps this is because "the people know the best", but it shows a problem because the people really don't know what their life is about, and if they did, then why

This movie was so unrelentingly dull, i think that any of its characters were more interesting than the plot. it is very unoriginal with very little surprise. and it wasn't even in the "cheery" campy sci-fi kind of way that makes a movie funny. it felt really self-important and pretentious; they could obviously afford tons of special effects and props and they wasted the effect of them. this has been used in hundreds of other movies. just because it's science fiction they must think it's okay. and the love story was just another formulaic cliché.

This movie never made it to the cinema because of its "sensitive" topic. This was an advantage, because it was a lot better this way. It makes the viewer think and even get out of one's own skin and understand the feelings of others (in all aspects). Even people who don't care about the topic, will have to think twice if they watch the movie. You see it, then realise that it was just a show and you really never know... It may be the future of the whole world, and it's just not a subject to be laughed about and forgotten about it after a drink or two. I enjoyed it...<br /><

I thought this was a rather enjoyable movie. I was hoping for a rather entertaining, somewhat suspenseful ride, and I got it. Most of the actors did pretty well, especially the "ninja" actors, which was a plus. However, the plot was somewhat of a stretch, and some of the dialog sounded more like something you'd find a cheesy teen-movie. But at the end of the day, this was better than the "Sword" movie, also starring James Hong and Ron Perlman.

I thought this was a good film. The acting was very good and kept my attention all the way through. I believe I read somewhere that the budget wasn't what they expected and unfortunately in some parts of the film it shows. It seemed there was a mix of computer generated and actual footage to make shots a little longer. Other than that I think the film was very good and I would definitely recommend going to see it. The plot is very interesting and it's nice to see actors/actresses I have seen on T.V. and in other smaller movies, now getting a big break with bigger budgets. It keeps you wondering throughout and the ending was very good

Ned aKelly is such an iconic figure that just about everyone who has an interest in Australian history has at least a basic knowledge of his legend. Unfortunately that means it's difficult for any potential biopic to surprise.<br /><br />With a story that begins with the Kelly gang's successful hold-up of a post office in Glenrowan, and follows them until their ultimate failure and final demise, there is little to surprise, and even less to conceal. The film manages to tell a somewhat coherent tale, but at the same time fails to draw the audience into what might have been a riveting drama.

From the very beginning, the movie, in its narration of the life of Marie Antoinette, presents her as a shallow and selfish Queen, whose sole concern was her own enjoyment of life, with little or no concern for her subjects.

Do they have a list of jokes that they could pull from to use in every movie? I do wonder what these actors will do in the future to get their name back a little.

SWING! is an important film

SWING! is an important film for a number of reasons. It won the Best Picture Oscar of 1939 and was released by MGM at a point in the late 30's where they had already lost the swing. If the studio hadn't been falling out the race for swing films, this one might not have been made. The film was also the first one featuring the legendary drummer Buddy Rich, it also was the first one for Gene Krupa. The film is based on the story of Red Norin and includes a few minor characters from the Red Norine legend, but this story is pure Hollywood. Red may be a swing trumpeter/singer

SWING! is an important film in cinema history. It gives hope, love and happiness, especially in difficult times.

Three part "horror" film with parts 2 and 3, that don't go to far to "get" on the subject matter of homosexuality, both contain some gore, and are very "noirs".<br /><br />The story mainly centers on a trio of criminals who escape the prison with the hopes it will turn out to be a "getaway" in which they split up for a few days and then meet up, in part two they come across two bickering lesbians who end up making out with the two men, part three is the final showdown as one of the men is "punished" for his role in the matter.<br /><

Three part "horror" film with an unusually long running time. This must've been an attempt to cash in on the success of the first one and to try to create momentum for a sequel a year later, "The Lost Weekend" (1955, in which Barbara Bel Geddes and Laurence Olivier play a troubled couple). The film was also meant as a pilot for a series, a bit like "It" (which had a good run on TV and in reruns) later did. It really would have paid better to do a TV series of these stories than to make three films in one, which may have contributed to the overall unevenness of the

A very cheesy and dull action movie. No one seems to be particularly bothered by the fact that no one in the city seems to want to cooperate with the anti-heroes. Not even when they're trying to arrest the actual killer. The story has a lot of continuity errors, like the sudden appearance of the bad guys car during the opening scene. One must also ask, why is the good guy's gun out of bullets? Maybe that's even less relevant since the movie ends within minutes.<br /><br />The worst performance comes from the (presumably) actor who plays the ex-cop. I almost think it's supposed to be funny.

A very cheesy and dull made-for-TV movie about a mysterious new employee who causes an ex-detective and his partner to go insane. This is a very overrated thing due to the fact that it is a made-for-TV movie and had a fairly high ratings when first on TV. This was a complete waste of my time and I felt I had lost a small portion of my brain by even watching this. The script is so slow-moving and has so many stupid scenes that is hard to believe that this got made. The story is so completely and utterly predictable, that I found myself thinking "this is going to happen" about 17 times throughout the

There are some nice shots in the beginning of the movie but that is about it. A very slow motion that is interrupted by some really bad and silly action scenes like a guy in a tank top who runs down a hallway with several guys shooting at him and does not get hurt. You will just laugh. This is why you should not watch an action movie that is not about guns or cars or martial arts. It is not good. So if you see it on the DVD shelves do not buy it. Watch it on the rack in the middle of the room and enjoy!

There are some nice shots, the editing and photography and cinematography are all first rate, but for a film about a serial killer, how hard is it to make the audience feel that you understand his motivations, the pressures of society, and the reasons why people choose darkness. This film fails to even mention psychology. In the real world, some of these "frightening" serial killers don't have the same motivations as each other, and sometimes they are not all really crazy, it will shock you, but the truth is that there are some serial killers that are rational, that is, they think they are doing the right thing just like you and I do

Let's see: There's a plot, or two, or maybe a few. It's about a guy who goes on a cross-country drive, and has a bunch of things happen to him along the way, including a shootout. There is much profanity, which is always a good thing. There is gratuitous nudity. I don't think there's anything really positive to say here. That concludes the summary.

I have been looking for this movie on DVD/VHS for years..I watched it as a child in the late 1980's and I loved it! I was not surprised that so many other people hated it and thought it was stupid..I love horror movies that are just fun to watch..And, i enjoyed this one! the cast gave their all, as did the director and the writers. I loved watching the other actors playing the 'villains' and just plain have a ball! The movie isn't the best..but it was fun!

I have been looking for this movie for years. There was some mention of it in a late night movie show of the 70's, and of course, only my sister and I were watching. My mother always had to say, "Don't be foolish, there is no such thing as a movie show at night." But we both swore that there was, and she had to watch with us the next morning to make sure there wasn't. Of course, I've tried to find the show and it hasn't been mentioned since. Can you help, please? And tell me why all these films with some really good actresses and good ideas are never finished

As the number of Video Nods, I guess this is an indication of a great movie.<br /><br />What a pleasure to see what happened back in 1981 to make people feel so much horror at that special type of crime. Now, they have just forgotten about the past, and people are not aware of this, and of so many other facts of the past. A 10 for my rating, this is one movie that deserves to be remembered for many years and with the hope that more movie makers will take this subject up seriously and not trivialize what happened and still is, and to those people who did not see the other

As the number of Video Nuke films grows over time, the quality of the actual films has become consistently worse. The films are also becoming longer and less and less coherent. This latest effort is the most nonsensical of all. A young couple on their honeymoon discover a meteorite with a bizarre green glow. However, this is no ordinary meteorite, it has actually crashed onto the couple and completely reformed their bodies and personalities. What follows is a bizarre trip by these two over-hyped losers along the streets of Tokyo. The film contains some of the strangest music I have ever heard, much of which is loud, high pitched, and disturbing.

Not sure if I'm referring to the English or Irish title of this one. Anyway the one which is supposed to be a sort of tribute to the great Irish singer. So you will forgive some mistakes in the title of this one.<br /><br />Anyway let's get on track. This one should be considered a rather successful first Irish musical. The musical numbers aren't that great, but the story is rather touching. And the story is told in a rather original way. There will be a few songs in the beginning and in the end (after all it is a musical), but most of the movie will be told in flashbacks

Not sure if I'm referring to the fact that this movie was filmed in the summer in Canada and then released in December, or that it was advertised in a small town as a musical western, or that it apparently never made it to DVD or VHS, but this is a terrible film with about 8 minutes of anything worth seeing, in an 88 minute movie. Most of the time it's people standing around and talking while someone watches over them. The plot is convoluted and uninteresting, the characters have no personality, and I lost count of how many times I looked around the theater wondering if someone was screening a bad movie or if I'd

This video nasty was initially released in the US as "Red Eye". It's another tale of revenge for the killer's brother on the day of his bachelor party. There's a lot of good acting going on and you can see the actors have a lot of fun in this gore fest. The acting is good and we get to see some great T&A. It's good stuff but not as good as "House of the Dead" or "Final Blood". I had enjoyed this when I first was a teenager who saw it on Channel 4 when I lived in the UK back in the 80s.

Of the three titles from director Ulli Lommel "The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave" (1979), "The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave II" (1980) and "The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave III" (1983) - only the last one offers something interesting to its viewers. It's true that this one has a lot of flaws as all those movies, and it's an incredibly weak and amateurish attempt of entertainment. It certainly isn't Ulli Lommel's best, and it's nowhere near being a classic of horror cinema, but at least there

Of the three titles from Joe Dante that I have seen (Gates of Heaven, Gremlins, and Demolishing Manhattan), this one is easily the worst. This must be one of those cases where the concept sounds good if taken alone, but becomes a nightmare when it is realized that the script is weak. The plot revolves around a young woman, who is a model but becomes a housewife, who is unhappy in her marriage as her husband is distant. He also is, in the first scenes, unhappy in his job as he takes advantage of the people around him. However, something happens to the husband so that he becomes even worse (and he

How can you tell that
|
How can you tell that a movie is going to be bad all the way through? A couple of things come into play during the first few scenes. First, and more importantly, will the filmmakers ever have the gumption to do anything about the terrible acting going on before your very eyes, or will the actors be permitted to continue to act the way they are at the very beginning, without any kind of intervention at all? In the case of "The Notorious Bettie Page" the filmmakers will never have the gumption to do anything about the acting until, for instance, the last 10 to 15 minutes of the two hours and twenty minutes

How can you tell that a movie was written and directed by the same person? If this person who wrote the screenplay also had director's job, that surely says something (not always a good thing) about the final product. This is what you want for something like, say, Dogma, where two filmmakers will make one film together to avoid one of the filmmaker's dominance and the resulting flaws. Here, the writer/director of this abomination of a script must have some major egos problems to allow the other director to make this film despite the screenplay that was an embarrassment from the get-go.<br /><br />What to hate most is that the film

Then she hears a strange story concerning a house that is about to be torn down by the local government. The history of the man and the sister is rather interesting, with an unexplainable history of insanity and mysterious deaths that the woman finds strange. The movie seems to be about finding the truth and it does succeed when you find out more about the house. The final ending does have some very interesting and unique moments.<br /><br />Victor Argo

or anyone who was praying for a little something with Christopher Walken in it this year... well, this is it. Walks through the movie with a big, goofy smile on his face. The film itself has an old time atmosphere - 1920s. It is reminiscent of something Hollywood had only just abandoned at the beginning of production. There are some truly classic scenes, however, and some fantastic acting. There is a scene, for instance, where Walken explains the way he can never understand why people won't accept that an Asian is an Asian. There is some beautiful acting in that scene, the rest of the film, as a whole

But until the audience see more of the film, it is easy to misunderstand or not appreciate the film.<br /><br />One of my all time favorites.

This film seemed way too choppy to me, and lacked focus as a whole. It starts out with a nice enough (if predictable) murder, but then it keeps jumping forward with little notice and it really doesn't add anything new... or even anything original for that matter. The film is a bit offbeat for an Australian flick, and I can see people not liking it for that reason if they expected more of the usual "Kirkus". The biggest thing I wasn't a big fan of is just how off-the-wall it was with the way it handled sex with someone suffering from AIDS... all of a sudden these guys are sleeping with each other,

This film seemed way too long, and I have no idea who was responsible for such a stupid plot line. First of all, I hate this kind of "love for two people separated by some evil plot" storyline. Even the worst movies of all time NEVER had such a stupid plot line. And the love story between the two children was pathetic. I never had any emotions, or connection for the two characters. And to make the film worse was the horrible acting. It was as though they were auditioning for a soap opera. And the dialogue was cheesy. My god, what a horrible movie!

I've mentioned it on this site before but never got round to posting a review, and it's time I made amends. Sexo Cannibal is not just about the fact that this film is not only an extremely effective cross between both horror and thriller genres, but also a genuinely effective one at that.

How did that ending end? How many years did it take to wrap it up? How much money did they have to spend at that point to get people to do the film? I wouldn't want to see a DVD just to see how it wraps up.

Sometime in 1998, Saban had gotten the movie rights the "Power Rangers". They got the rights to all rights; it's just the rights to the movie rights.

This is the biggest insult to Michael Jackson I have ever seen. This is probably the worst documentary I have ever watched, even worse than 'Wizards of the Lost Kingdom'.<br /><br />The film is more like a 3rd class X-rated movie than a documentary, but there are no naked dancing. The main part of this documentary is about the MJ children's wedding and other festivities - and the film footage of the kids at the wedding is horrible.

I cannot stay indifferent to movies like 2002's "Eyes of Labyrinth": the director, Tobe Hooper, obviously has his own theory of movie-making, and he tries to push the envelope of his theories. Hooper makes movies that are very personal, and his recent movies, like this one, have become weirder, in the attempt to find better and better ways of telling stories.

This film is terrible. You get a film that is supposed to be realistic and this is the most unrealistic film I have ever seen. The actors are completely awful. The camera is shaky so even if the film did not have the terrible script they would never be able to capture anything close to the realism they were attempting. The film is also unwatchable because it never tells you what is happening. The "character" of the man is so bizarre that the entire thing never makes any sense.<br /><br />Do not waste your time on this stinker.

This film is terrible. You do not need to be a crime film nut to notice that there isn't a single decent scene in the entire picture. The actors weren't especially good either. I didn't actually watch this through from beginning to end, but it seemed that everyone gave the film's lead character the old "we'll see how you do now" treatment. For example, at the end of the film the woman is on a train. She decides she is going to call up the guy she is after and tell him to get on the same train for her and, conveniently for herself and the stupid audience, the train is right behind them.<br /><br
