I love sci-fi and am willing to put up with a lot. Sci-fi movies/TV are usually underfunded, under-appreciated and misunderstood. I tried to like this, I really did, but it is to good TV sci-fi as Babylon 5 is to Star Trek (the original). Silly prosthetics, cheap cardboard sets, stilted dialogues, CG that doesn't match the background, and painfully one-dimensional characters cannot be overcome with a 'sci-fi' setting. (I'm sure there are those of you out there who think Babylon 5 is good sci-fi TV. It's not. It's clichéd and uninspiring.) While US viewers might like emotion and character development, sci-fi is a genre that does not take itself seriously (cf. Star Trek). It may treat important issues, yet not as a serious philosophy. It's really difficult to care about the characters here as they are not simply foolish, just missing a spark of life. Their actions and reactions are wooden and predictable, often painful to watch. The makers of Earth KNOW it's rubbish as they have to always say "Gene Roddenberry's Earth..." otherwise people would not continue watching. Roddenberry's ashes must be turning in their orbit as this dull, cheap, poorly edited (watching it without advert breaks really brings this home) trudging Trabant of a show lumbers into space. Spoiler. So, kill off a main character. And then bring him back as another actor. Jeeez! Dallas all over again.

I love sci-fi and am a huge admirer of this series, but I must admit that one of my biggest problems is the "lame twist ending." In 220 but soon-to-be the final season of this incredible show, "Chasing Mars" has now come to its conclusion, and I'd like to believe that there'll be another series that begins at this last episode. <br /><br />I am not one for the big "twists", as a very serious sci-fi fan, I much prefer the subtle and well-done endings. However, in 45-year-old SciFi (I just finished the last episode; please don

I love sci-fi and am always on the look out for new movies. I watched this movie with my daughter (10) from the beginning and she loved the movie. I enjoyed it very much. She showed interest in the characters and the background about the events and the time-line that the story was told. The story kept her interested because there was some good intermingling of time and place and characters. While not the finest work in film, it did leave me wanting more. Some parts were abrupt, but there were many good twists in the plot that kept my attention. My daughter thought the actors gave good performances, particularly Brad Pitt, who was not too

I love sci-fi and am definitely a fan of John Carpenter's movies. Though he's written/acted some decent movie. I was expecting a good story line and a strong acting. But instead the movie just becomes slow and boring and is a total waste of time. A waste of your time. A movie like this makes you want to get a nap because no matter how much sleep you have... you will end up just falling asleep and dreaming it all over again. Because the actors just seem like cardboard cut outs and not give a crap about their characters, making the story just flat. If you know the story, this movie is worth the time you spend seeing it

I love sci-fi and am a HUGE Star Wars fanatic. I had never ever seen any previous Star Wars films and was in desperate need of a movie that reminded me of the whole concept of the first trilogy. I was about to leave the theater when I was directed to watch "The Empire Strikes Back". To say that I was over shocked is an understatement. Although I was over 38 minutes into this movie I stayed with it to the end, not wanting it to go any later. I was surprised what I discovered. This wasn't the usual Star Wars movie you might expect. Instead this movie was set in a different galaxy and the star was called Y

I love sci-fi and am a big fan of Robert Wise, so I decided to go watch this film in it's entirety. The plot is amazing, and it's definitely a film that you cannot take your eyes off.<br /><br />There are many different aspects of the film that I especially loved, like the way Poe (played beautifully by Patrick Stewart) tells the story from different perspectives of the characters in the film, and the way they come together to build this beautiful whole.<br /><br />The cinematography is amazing, especially in the final scene. I am definitely going to buy the DVD soon. There is so much to love in this film,

I love sci-fi and am a big fan for the future. But this show was way overdone and unnecessary. Maybe the actors did a great job but the story was almost not there. It was just very cheesy and did not make any logical reasons for the way that things worked for the future. It also gave the illusion that the characters were going crazy (like on the episode where Alex has the vision of 777 and that is very close) because they are both mad at each other. It's much more logical to see how all the characters are happy and calm together in "the future" because that is way more realistic. Not only that but not

I love sci-fi and am fan of many, many shows and series like Star Trek, Terminator, Babylon 5 etc. but some series just don't impress when they are not delivered properly I've said, or at least are not well-crafted. It can be hard to get excited when viewing a movie or television show because a lot of the time the best viewing experience is the anticipation phase and not the actual viewing. In this case, I felt the wait was almost unbearable. The script may not have been able to meet my expectations on any level because the story was not adequately brought up to speed as the beginning of the movie began, but once story and action

I love sci-fi and am a huge fan of the original Star Trek, as well as several other sci-fi shows, such as 'Star Trek Voyager' and 'The Next Generation' to name a few. I enjoyed seeing the return of many of the characters, and I love seeing the new 'Trek' in their normal routine (as opposed to the very stereotyped episode that just came out). Now of Course, I was hoping there would be a spin-off to the previous series. I did not expect, however, to be so much entertained. I liked the show so much, that I cannot help but feel that an original spin-off was sorely

I love sci-fi and am a fan of classic films I can watch again and again for pleasure. This one has been very entertaining and I enjoyed it. The movie is extremely well-done and the cast does a great job, especially Kate Bosworth, in her first leading role.<br /><br />However, my only real complaint is with the beginning of the film. At times, I was a bit confused as to where the plot was going. However, for the most part, I was able to sit through it and I have a feeling that it will be watched again for the many laughs it provides. You will not want to miss it.<br /><br />

I love sci-fi and am a fan of all the good films and TV series that come out. Yet even though I have always had a strong attraction to the premise of the genre, I have not been big on horror films. So, I was very pleased to discover this video, and was very surprised at the quality and style.<br /><br />I watched it on DVD last night and I found myself being drawn into each frame. With its slow-motion camera shots, strange lookings that are not familiar to me and the way the sound effects are handled... there is nothing that I can attribute this work with to the genre of film, but it does create quite

Worth the entertainment value of a rental, especially if you like action movies. This one features the usual car chases, fights with the great Van Damme kick style, shooting battles with the 40 shell load shotgun, and even terrorist style bombs. All of this is entertaining and competently handled but there is nothing that really blows you away if you've seen your share before.<br /><br />The plot is made interesting by the inclusion of a rabbit, which is clever but hardly profound. Many of the characters are heavily stereotyped -- the angry veterans, the terrified illegal aliens, the crooked cops, the indifferent feds, the bitchy tough lady station head, the crooked politician, the fat federale who looks like he was typecast as the Mexican in a Hollywood movie from the 1940s. All passably acted but again nothing special.<br /><br />I thought the main villains were pretty well done and fairly well acted. By the end of the movie you certainly knew who the good guys were and weren't. There was an emotional lift as the really bad ones got their just deserts. Very simplistic, but then you weren't expecting Hamlet, right? The only thing I found really annoying was the constant cuts to VDs daughter during the last fight scene.<br /><br />Not bad. Not good. Passable 4.

Worth the entertainment value of the movie, in the first two or three viewings, it is certainly well worth the cost of viewing. I must admit to having rented this movie for years and years and years, having been bored with many other movies. Now, that was a surprise! I finally sat back and watched the movie, and I must say that this one really stands out from the pack. I have had the DVD for quite a while, and I am enjoying watching it again and again and again. At a recent Halloween horror movie convention, I had the pleasure of meeting the guy who produced the original movie. Unfortunately for me, he was not very bright

Worth the entertainment value of a mediocre thriller, but the ending was too abrupt, the film was uneven, and the scenes were choppy. A definite must see film for the fans of all three actors (Kurt Russell, Ben Affleck, Christian Slater) but not a good film for those not interested in the genre of the 80's. But as much as one laughs their heads off at the antics, just remember the audience is watching the movie not watching a football game! Don't be surprised if the end comes out of nowhere. This is also one of the first movies to show the need for police professionalism and leadership, an era of corruption and

Worth the entertainment value of seeing this classic movie once, but should definitely be avoided for anyone who loves bad actors, bad plots or even bad writing. If you want to see the classic 'Scoop', see it. Do not be deceived by the cheesy and predictable movie. You'll hate the old-timer movies that feature "hot chick" as the only good thing in the movie and the 80's version as having the worst plot. Remember, 'Revenge of the Scorpion King' was made in 2001 as one of the hottest movies in the industry. Remember how bad it is? Just like 'Revenge of the Sc

In the best of the movies, that are not just cheesy and trash like "Shampoo" and "Sleeping with the Enemy". The only reason why the "Enterprise" (Enterprise) movie's are not really a classic anymore is because the creators never really took the time to build up a long enough story arc.

Worth the entertainment value of this video for those of you who like this genre and aren't afraid to be shocked. This film was filmed more than 10 years ago and I was shocked to see they are still making movies like this. The acting is the part you enjoy the most. At a higher IQ, the acting would be a tad more convincing than in the films of today. My only complaint is that it should have been released before the turn of the century. It shows that, as in so many other parts of the country, there is still a strong interest in the rural community. They will likely have to find new ways to support themselves since many

its a totally average film with a few semi-alright action sequences that make the plot seem a little better and remind the viewer of the classic van dam films. parts of the plot don't make sense and seem to be added in to use up time. the end plot is that of a very basic type that doesn't leave the viewer guessing and any twists are obvious from the beginning. the end scene with the flask backs don't make sense as they are added in and seem to have little relevance to the history of van dam's character. not really worth watching again, bit disappointed in the end production, even though it is apparent it was shot on a low budget certain shots and sections in the film are of poor directed quality

STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning <br /><br />Former New Orleans homicide cop Jack Robideaux (Jean Claude Van Damme) is re-assigned to Columbus, a small but violent town in Mexico to help the police there with their efforts to stop a major heroin smuggling operation into their town. The culprits turn out to be ex-military, lead by former commander Benjamin Meyers (Stephen Lord, otherwise known as Jase from East Enders) who is using a special method he learned in Afghanistan to fight off his opponents. But Jack has a more personal reason for taking him down, that draws the two men into an explosive final showdown where only one will walk away alive.<br /><br />After Until Death, Van Damme appeared to be on a high, showing he could make the best straight to video films in the action market. While that was a far more drama oriented film, with The Shepherd he has returned to the high-kicking, no brainer action that first made him famous and has sadly produced his worst film since Derailed. It's nowhere near as bad as that film, but what I said still stands.<br /><br />A dull, predictable film, with very little in the way of any exciting action. What little there is mainly consists of some limp fight scenes, trying to look cool and trendy with some cheap slo-mo/sped up effects added to them that sadly instead make them look more desperate. Being a Mexican set film, director Isaac Florentine has tried to give the film a Robert Rodriguez/Desperado sort of feel, but this only adds to the desperation.<br /><br />VD gives a particularly uninspired performance and given he's never been a Robert De Niro sort of actor, that can't be good. As the villain, Lord shouldn't expect to leave the beeb anytime soon. He gets little dialogue at the beginning as he struggles to muster an American accent but gets mysteriously better towards the end. All the supporting cast are equally bland, and do nothing to raise the films spirits at all.<br /><br />This is one shepherd that's strayed right from the flock. *

The movie didn't quite up to scratch, but with little to no comedy, this is one of Jack's films that you can watch with your family or with friends and don't get your hopes up on the box office numbers. Black and Penn are perfect in their roles (not much else I can say). The production and acting were excellent. As far as anything I can tell, SNL is just like a comedy.

For one thing, the characters are not funny. They're so stereotypical. For example, I hate when the kids get all angry and start yelling. It doesn't fit into the "real life" of any kid.

While "The Office" is much more mature than "Saturday" this show works both ends of the spectrum but stays true to them. It does not try to be cleverer or prettier than reality (or reality shows, or reality stars) but instead it shows that even while being "sarcasm-oriented", reality can also contain some laughs.<br /><br />There might be some flaws however (especially the one with the "

If I had to pick two stars from the cast, it might be Gary Cole and Paul Reubens.

You can laugh until you cry. This is one of those movies you can watch years from now. I recommend that everyone should give this movie a chance to see.

Live did a bang up job on Jack Black and Chris Penn. The movie didn't quite up to scratch, but with little to no comedy, this is one of Jack's films that you can watch with your family or with friends and don't get your hopes up on the box office numbers. Black and Penn are perfect in their roles (not much else I can say). The production and acting were excellent. As far as anything I can tell, SNL is just like a comedy. They get all of the big stars for free. But as good as SNL is, nobody is perfect anymore and it's more expensive to produce them

First off let me say, If you haven't enjoyed a Van Damme movie since bloodsport, you probably will not like this movie. Most of these movies may not have the best plots or best actors but I enjoy these kinds of movies for what they are. This movie is much better than any of the movies the other action guys (Segal and Dolph) have thought about putting out the past few years. Van Damme is good in the movie, the movie is only worth watching to Van Damme fans. It is not as good as Wake of Death (which i highly recommend to anyone of likes Van Damme) or In hell but, in my opinion it's worth watching. It has the same type of feel to it as Nowhere to Run. Good fun stuff!

First off let me say, i thought the movie with the least plot it seemed most intriguing with i knew it would suck so i watched for the most part and was still somewhat enthralled with the movie and although the ending wasn't the best, there was fun to be had in it i'm going to try and stick with the movie for awhile, i guess it depends on how long it takes though. i'm not that old so i'm not exactly into the past tense stuff of the 80's or my dad's high school days. However, what i've seen on youtube shows people going against tradition and sticking to their roots when they try and get

First off let me say, the plot sounds like a very good premise, a little difficult to follow but still watchable. The pacing and the dialogue were very well done. Also the supporting actors did not let the main characters fall but instead kept them strong and believable.<br /><br />The characters and plot were very strong, the acting was amazing, they drew you in and kept you watching. The best part of it all was the ending which was very unexpected and had you really questioning the final turn...<br /><br />Overall it was better than I expected! My 8 year old son absolutely loved it! Also, his Mom and I loved it ourselves

Many of the sequences did follow that other than the "howler" scene by the end and, believe me, the film had an extremely interesting take on the human condition, with some very uncomfortable scenes. The characters were well fleshed out and though the story was fairly predictable in the end, not too much.<br /><br />So, even if you see

First off let me say, this movie was great! I had never had a real crush on a guy before, so the story had a big hole in it that gave me no clue what to expect at all. And just when I thought the movie was going to be an average lowbudget low budget movie, it turned out to be incredible. I really love the movie because it goes right to the story right away, it doesn't slow down and it never jumps in-between scenes. And unlike other movies, the main hero has no crush on the girls.

I had high hopes for this one until they changed the name to 'The Shepherd : Border Patrol, the lamest movie name ever, what was wrong with just 'The Shepherd'. This is a by the numbers action flick that tips its hat at many classic Van Damme films. There is a nice bit of action in a bar which reminded me of hard target and universal soldier but directed with no intensity or flair which is a shame. There is one great line about 'being p*ss drunk and carrying a rabbit' and some OK action scenes let down by the cheapness of it all. A lot of the times the dialogue doesn't match the characters mouth and the stunt men fall down dead a split second before even being shot. The end fight is one of the better Van Damme fights except the Director tries to go a bit too John Woo and fails also introducing flashbacks which no one really cares about just gets in the way of the action which is the whole point of a van Damme film.<br /><br />Not good, not bad, just average generic action.

I had high hopes for this film from the reviews. What I was expecting was a predictable horror story about how a young boy gets killed in the woods by a killer who is a complete psycho after he gets into a coma to kill his sister. I was pleasantly surprised by it. The story is good, the acting is good, and the setting is very eerie, as well as the idea by the way of taking a story with something creepy and making it scary.<br /><br />When the movie starts, the camera pans out into the woods and the sounds of rustling leaves becomes familiar to you, at least in this version, and the eerie atmosphere is created

I had high hopes for this film. 30 years before it was released, the movie was the top grossing film of April 1982. They say all too often in this business, a title for a film will determine its long-term success. For years I think that this is true. And I believe that all this success would have a major bearing on the success of this film. To say this film flopped would be unfair. That film received over $10 million in worldwide box-office receipts and was an annual best seller on the Best Sellers list of the annual box-office total of 1982. This movie has a

I had high hopes for this movie when I saw the posters. The plot is complicated enough that even non-experts could probably follow it. I read some reviews on IMDb that the characters were well done, and it was true. The dialog was very realistic, but the story and the characterization... didn't come together, really. The ending was poorly executed and just made up for the rest of the poor acting and writing.<br /><br />It was a poorly conceived and directed movie. It was hard to know when I was watching the movie, because they had so many different stories going on in this story, this movie really didn't work out the way it

I had high hopes for this movie, not as good as I thought (but not as bad) but after seeing all the other reviews here you will know that I couldn't help but laugh at certain aspects of the movie:<br /><br />1. The first big surprise - the ending. We have no clue why the couple is back together - or why any one, for that matter, wants them back! The writer just dropped a surprise.<br /><br />2. The romance angle, between a family man and a woman in her own right. Even if it is a bit cheesy, it has plenty of laughs in this segment.<br /><br />

I found the premise very imaginative and the characters very likable. I wish there had been more episodes, which might have helped the show along. I did like the ending.

I like Walken for his good acting skills and his body, but I wasn't sure if he was able to pull off what he did for this role.

It is also interesting to see how different the US and England are with regards to the amount of crime committed by the gangs of criminals.

Isaac Florentine has made some of the best western Martial Arts action movies ever produced. In particular US Seals 2, Cold Harvest, Special Forces and Undisputed 2 are all action classics. You can tell Isaac has a real passion for the genre and his films are always eventful, creative and sharp affairs, with some of the best fight sequences an action fan could hope for. In particular he has found a muse with Scott Adkins, as talented an actor and action performer as you could hope for. This is borne out with Special Forces and Undisputed 2, but unfortunately The Shepherd just doesn't live up to their abilities.<br /><br />There is no doubt that JCVD looks better here fight-wise than he has done in years, especially in the fight he has (for pretty much no reason) in a prison cell, and in the final showdown with Scott, but look in his eyes. JCVD seems to be dead inside. There's nothing in his eyes at all. It's like he just doesn't care about anything throughout the whole film. And this is the leading man.<br /><br />There are other dodgy aspects to the film, script-wise and visually, but the main problem is that you are utterly unable to empathise with the hero of the film. A genuine shame as I know we all wanted this film to be as special as it genuinely could have been. There are some good bits, mostly the action scenes themselves. This film had a terrific director and action choreographer, and an awesome opponent for JCVD to face down. This could have been the one to bring the veteran action star back up to scratch in the balls-out action movie stakes.<br /><br />Sincerely a shame that this didn't happen.

Isaac Florentine has made some truly brilliant films, but his last movie "Invisible" wasn't one of them. All he did was show a bunch of people in front of a set of cars trying to sneak through the city at night. In most of these vehicles there was a flash of light. Florentine made a mistake in this particular film, he did not have the right lighting. It didn't look real at all. It looked like a movie of the day, and that is only because most cars in the movie were real cars. When you watch this movie you are always watching to see if there will be any flash of light.

It actually pains me to say it, but this movie was horrible on every level. The blame does not lie entirely with Van Damme as you can see he tried his best, but let's face it, he's almost fifty, how much more can you ask of him? I find it so hard to believe that the same people who put together Undisputed 2; arguably the best (western) martial arts movie in years, created this. Everything from the plot, to the dialog, to the editing, to the overall acting was just horribly put together and in many cases outright boring and nonsensical. Scott Adkins who's fight scenes seemed more like a demo reel, was also terribly underused and not even the main villain which is such a shame because 1) He is more than capable of playing that role and 2) The actual main villain was not only not intimidating at all but also quite annoying. Again, not blaming Van Damme. I will always be a fan, but avoid this one.

It actually pains me to say that this movie was the worst thing to come out of the Hollywood studios since the "Oscar" was awarded and it was awarded last week! To me the last "Oscars" were nothing more than the worst thing that could have been done.<br /><br />This movie could have been one very beautiful movie. It is about a young boy named James that has a terrible temper and he has to be constantly disciplined. He has no friends, he is not allowed to have a girlfriend, he does not have as much time for sports and he is not allowed any extracurricular activities. He goes out to the neighborhood

see people criticize this movie as crap. No, it's NOT crap. It's a fantastic movie. A great example of how to make a movie that is "real". A movie that doesn't take itself seriously and treats those you don't like in a fair manner. And there are those people that say that "Crouching Tiger is for everyone" but to me it's not. It's for the Chinese people and the only people who need to see this movie are the Chinese "people". As an Italian family we have to do the "Crouching Tiger" move to see each other, but if you are a foreign

Technically I'am a Van Damme Fan, or I was. this movie is so bad that I hated myself for wasting those 90 minutes. Do not let the name Isaac Florentine (Undisputed II) fool you, I had big hopes for this one, depending on what I saw in (Undisputed II), man.. was I wrong ??! all action fans wanted a big comeback for the classic action hero, but i guess we wont be able to see that soon, as our hero keep coming with those (going -to-a-border - far-away-town-and -kill -the-bad-guys- than-comeback- home) movies I mean for God's sake, we are in 2008, and they insist on doing those disappointing movies on every level. Why ??!!! Do your self a favor, skip it.. seriously.

Technically I'am a Van Damme fanatic. My main source is the movies. There is a cult following in the world of movies. The only way to get your name on the cover of a newspaper is if you are in the movie. That's one of my favorite reasons to watch films. Besides the movies, there is music, also. One of my friends, who is only 30, started listening to Van Damme's music (especially the first album)from 1987-94. "War Machine", "Vicen", "Mistress Of the Damned", "Dead Force", "Vicen", "Narc

They gave him many prizes and he became one of the greatest movie stars in the world. The movie is a 90 minutes, great and intense. You need to see it.

Technically I'am a Van Damme fan (at least I should be: I like him quite a bit) and for a moment I felt some sympathy for the little role he plays here: "Hell Is Hot", as he's called in this film, sounds like a movie of the day from the 1980s/1990s. But on the actual film, it turns out that he's not just simply being plodded along with an interesting script (although there are a couple of cool one-liners) but really doing some weird, and frankly, amateurish (at his personal best) performances.

Its Vans first attempt at making a movie and made the story and plot on the same level of Van Damme. However, it wasn't just any movie, but a live action film of the Vans first movie. How does The Wackerman get a chance to be a live action movie? The Wackerman has tons of cool and fun scenes and also a great soundtrack with a great music score, though I wish this movie would have had more music.

Honestly awful film, bad editing, awful lighting, dire dialog and scrappy screenplay.<br /><br />The lighting at is so bad there's moments you can't even see what's going on, I even tried to playing with the contrast and brightness so I could see something but that didn't help.<br /><br />They must have found the script in a bin, the character development is just as awful and while you hardly expect much from a Jean-Claude Van Damme film this one manages to hit an all time low. You can't even laugh at the cheesy'ness.<br /><br />The directing and editing are also terrible, the whole film follows an extremely tired routine and fails at every turn as it bumbles through the plot that is so weak it's just unreal.<br /><br />There's not a lot else to say other than it's really bad and nothing like Jean-Claude Van Damme's earlier work which you could enjoy.<br /><br />Avoid like the plaque, frankly words fail me in condemning this "film".

This flick is a waste of time.I expect from an action movie to have more than 2 explosions and some shooting.Van Damme's acting is awful. He never was much of an actor, but here it is worse.He was definitely better in his earlier movies. His screenplay part for the whole movie was probably not more than one page of stupid nonsense one liners.The whole dialog in the film is a disaster, same as the plot.The title "The Shepherd" makes no sense. Why didn't they just call it "Border patrol"? The fighting scenes could have been better, but either they weren't able to afford it, or the fighting choreographer was suffering from lack of ideas.This is a cheap low type of action cinema.

This flick is a waste of paper. It's a complete disgrace to science fiction. First of all: the film starts with a big bang, then goes through a series of time-lapse "frames" (and we never know what is happening in each one) - then we stop and watch something. The result is a totally convoluted film with no obvious story. It has only one central idea, but most plot holes that you will find in your standard "science fiction" movie are there. All through the movie there seems to be more than one way of going about a scene. For some reasons or another you probably won't watch it but there are

This flick is a waste of time. Most movies that could be made about the Korean War fail to be "war of the century" level. Here, by far, is the best effort: realistic, exciting and the war that it depicts is almost true. In fact, I think it might be the truest one ever. It shows things how they really are, and the military has no respect for civilians and no regard in matters of war. To say nothing of the moral and human side.

Blind Date (Columbia Pictures, 1934), was a decent film, but I have a few issues with this film. First of all, I don't fault the actors in this film at all, but more or less, I have a problem with the script. Also, I understand that this film was made in the 1930's and people were looking to escape reality, but the script made Ann Sothern's character look weak. She kept going back and forth between suitors and I felt as though she should have stayed with Paul Kelly's character in the end. He truly did care about her and her family and would have done anything for her and he did by giving her up in the end to fickle Neil Hamilton who in my opinion was only out for a good time. Paul Kelly's character, although a workaholic was a man of integrity and truly loved Kitty (Ann Sothern) as opposed to Neil Hamilton, while he did like her a lot, I didn't see the depth of love that he had for her character. The production values were great, but the script could have used a little work.

Blind Date (Columbia Pictures, 1934), also known as 'A Woman and Her Woman' was filmed in Italy by Charles Vidor.

With the help of some really talented actors, like Erich von Stroheim (on a rare turn) and Charles Winninger (the best comic actor of his time), we can observe the way that Hollywood had moved from its more refined stage in to the stage of its daily work. But the movie is even funnier than it looks at first. There are some scenes where the movie can seem completely predictable. But I thought it was fun to see them. I especially enjoyed

directed by William Cameron Menzies, and starring John Garfield and Jean Simmons, is one of the most controversial and maligned of film noir classics.<br /><br />The film is considered to be the first film noir, which is a significant achievement, but even today, it fails to get the respect it deserves. The story takes place in a post-WWI New York City apartment and revolves around a love story between a straight-laced man and a naive woman who have been attracted to each other since the day they entered the apartment building and moved in. They meet their real love interest in the elevator of the building, who they

I first watched this movie back in the mid/late 80's, when I was a kid. We couldn't even get all the way through it. The dialog, the acting, everything about it was just beyond lame.<br /><br />Here are a few examples... imagine these spoken real dramatically, way over-acted: "Oreegon? You're going to Oreegon? Why would anyone want to go to Oreegon?"<br /><br />"Survivalists? Nobody ever told us about any survivalists!"<br /><br />This movie was SO bad, my sister and I rented it again for her 16th birthday party, just so our friends could sit around and laugh at how awful it was. I don't think we were able to finish it then either!

I first watched this movie in high school. I remember that the story of the main character's struggle against the bad guys made a big impression upon me - it was quite different from most teen movies of that era. It was actually kind of refreshing for the time - no swearing, no violence, and little sexual imagery or themes. However, there are a couple of things that I liked about the movie:<br /><br />1. The story was intriguing. Not every teen movie will engage you, but this one did. It left you wanting to know what was going to happen next.<br /><br />2. The music was good (some of it was

I first watched this movie when I was nine and it still has a special place in my heart! Being a big fan of the Disney brand, the first movie I got when I was three is not really a Disney film anymore. In fact, I now think this movie is even better. <br /><br />Even after going through seven languages in my youth, I still can recite every single word of this movie! I truly believe that this movie is based on the life of a real boy. I think that the story about a brave and young boy will stay with you all your life.<br /><br />The story is actually quite interesting - a boy

I first watched this movie about a year ago while I was down in Connecticut for a weekend of family reunions.I knew I had to see this movie because I was introduced to many of the character’s in the short fall television series they hosted while I was there.Apart from that and the wonderful acting by the cast and some great singing by the voice of Telly Mac (The voice of The Cosby Show for one),this is a great movie that really took me back to my childhood.Everytime I watch it it makes me want to be a child again.I wish that I could take it back.I wish that this wonderful family would have it, but alas,it

I first watched this movie some years ago and I've always liked it a lot. My son watched it with friends on Sunday last Friday and he was very pleased with it, but I wasn't so much pleased. Some things about it that really struck me however and which make me agree with the views of others, was that it was a very strong romantic, and there was a strong underlying conflict based on feelings for the two main characters, particularly when our protagonists were so young. When we looked back on it 15 years later and now think back on it, there was clearly much more there that I had at the time, but there were some positives that

I first watched this movie on television while it was still in the early days of the Disney Channel in this country, and I was struck by its vividly childlike humor. This is one of the few, little films that I feel should be available in all good, home video channels in all the "big" chains. There are some things that have been missed from the original film, but it is a good addition, and the children's version is definitely fun. For those not familiar with the original film, this one also shows how Mickey Mouse was portrayed in the Disney cartoon, as well as how the new characters (Dinah, the female Mouse,

I first watched this movie in high school and it was one of the last films we screened at the movies before we would all go to work. My parents had seen it before and they had loved it, so they bought a large copy. When the movie came on I could not take my eyes off it and it was about the most riveting I had watched before.<br /><br />Over the years I have watched this movie over and over again and every time I watch it it is more and more intriguing to me. For my part I just thought this was one of the most beautiful movies ever made. I also think the acting (both male and female)

I first watched this movie when I was 9, that was a long time ago. I still think of it today with still many times. It may have lost it's freshness since then, but it still holds just as good. It's a great piece of work and it still has something to say for today. If you are an avid horror fan, or watch horror films on the big screen, it is definitely worth watching.<br /><br />This movie may very well be overlooked by most horror fans out there, because it isn't as great as a film like Cast Away, Night of the Demons, Vengeful, or some of the classic

I first watched this movie about 15 years ago. My first memory of it is me having great fun with the 80's' TV show "The Sopranos". The movie's storyline was fascinating. It was a great way for me to spend a couple of hours. Since that time, I have never seen another movie like it. Now that the movie is made into a film, I am eager to see more from it. With my current movie schedule though, I can hardly possibly sit through it all. There are some scenes that just don't add up in my head. That will have to wait until much later. But here are

I first watched this movie after seeing it recently. It was still very funny and it's still the last comedy I have ever enjoyed seeing in cinema. The plot was simple even though sometimes the jokes and puns were very heavy. I can remember the scenes when the children start to talk and they go to the bedroom for their clothes and everything seems more and more difficult. Then I just fell for it when the children decide to leave their own house. This movie is definitely a must see for all fans of comedy and I'm glad I got the chance to see it for the first time. It also gives me lots of inspiration. You can find it in the DVD

I first watched this movie when it came out on VHS, and I was pretty shocked by how dark there was; the movie went from being mostly scenes shot in black and white to dark scenes in black and white where you could see the light coming from the camera, which was extremely disturbing at 50 Shades of gray! The plot was also quite dark, but it is in there and it never really really leaves you wondering what the true motive is!<br /><br />There was some really sad scenes in this film. If a character really doesn't make it and dies, that really is tragic. But the reason why they don't seem to make it

I saw the Mogul Video VHS of this. That's another one of those old 1980s distributors whose catalog I wish I had!<br /><br />This movie was pretty poor. Though retitled "Don't Look in the Attic," the main admonition that is repeated in this is "Don't go to the villa." Just getting on the grounds of the villa is a bad idea. A character doesn't go into the attic until an hour into the movie, and actually should have done it earlier because of what is learned there.<br /><br />The movie starts in Turin, Italy in the 1950s. Two men are fighting, and a woman is telling them the villa is making them do it. One man kills the other, then regrets it, and the woman pulls out the knife and stabs him with it. She flees the villa, and after she's left a chair moves by itself (what's the point of that?), but when in the garden a hand comes up through the ground and drags he into the earth.<br /><br />From there, it's the present day, thirty years later. There's a séance that appears suddenly and doesn't appear to have anything to do with the movie. The children of the woman from the prologue are inheriting the house. The main daughter is played by the same actress who played her mother. At least one of the two men from the prologue seems to reoccur as another character too. She's haunted by some warnings not to go to the villa, but they all do, since if they do not use it, they forfeit it. People die. A lawyer who has won all his cases tries to investigate a little. The ending is pretty poor. Why was the family cursed? An unfortunately boring movie.<br /><br />There's an amusing small-print disclaimer on the back of the video box that reads "The scenes depicted on this packaging may be an artist's impression and may not necessarily represent actual scenes from the film." In this case, the cover of the box is an illustration that does more or less accurately depict the aforementioned woman dragged underground scene, although there are two hands, and the woman is different. It's true, sometimes the cover art has nothing to do with the movie. I also recall seeing a reviewer who had a bad movie predictor scale, in which movies with illustrations on the cover instead of photos got at least one point for that.

I saw the Mogul Video with my older brother on the day before his birthday. We rented it to discuss the nature of human beings and human society. And in the film it discussed and demonstrated not only that the world will not accept man is God, but that a man is God is not a good thing: only God is good. I found his dialogue encouraging considering that we had a younger brother who likes to spend time with computers and video games - something I admire. The film also discussed the human tendency to envy, which we all know makes people greedy. Mogul also examined the concept of the Godhead, and how this concept underpins the modern world because

I saw the Mogul Video at a festival in 1991 where it was screened in French. A lot of money was spent on the making of this film. There were some people from Canada in attendance. What was interesting is that 20 years after it was made, several people from Canada have not forgotten this film. It was such a great film and brought people together to talk about their dreams. That certainly remains my take on the film. I love it, and if at first the viewer doesn't know who the characters are, it is still compelling with subtle scenes of hope, humor, and friendship.

I saw the Mogul Video for the first time recently and just saw as good as the last 6 episodes I've watched. The movie keeps pace well, but then goes awry as some of the plot takes a turn for the worse. I found the character's dialogue to be one of the best sequences in the entire series and I always find Mr. Catherwood's narration to be a delight. I find it to be a delight when the series transitions to either another episode, which I believe is called the Doppelgang or a new title screen, which I believe is called the End Game. My only problem is the show's tendency to cut scenes to

I saw the Mogul Video Noir of 1936. It was the first time I saw "The Mysterious Mr. Jones." The film was originally titled Mister Jones, and, I suppose, the title changed because it dealt with the mystery and involvement of the unnamed servant who turns up once Mr. Jones loses the jewels he was keeping. That's probably why it was renamed to The Mysterious Mr. Jones.
I don't think people like to go for historical types; they go for thrillers; thrillers are supposed to be exciting; They're supposed to be scary; They're supposed to be fun. I find The Mysterious Mr. Jones

After the first movie, the space station had to be rebuilt by the crew.<br /><br />The film started with the crew of space station, having been attacked by an alien from another planet, killing the first officer and leaving two survivors.

I saw the Mogul Video a couple of years ago with no recollection of the movie. It is a brilliant satire as the film attempts to be a parody whilst not being a rip off (at least that's what it tries to be).<br /><br />The characters are funny, the scenes engaging, and the humour delivered in a way that is both original and believable. But what you will most likely be most interested in is how the characters actually change throughout the movie. The Mogul Video is about a guy who was fired from a big-time acting company, and goes out into the streets to tell his story in a daring way. The film is clever

I saw the Mogul Video for the first time in 1991. Seeing as to which company we had such to own, it was a major thing to me. It started with a 3/4th "I don't think, I am gonna do that" scene. The whole movie was about a guy who is going on a break from his girlfriend, the man has his mind on his sister. He hires a girl who is also, not really sure what she wants (as well).

I saw the Mogul Video here at the Toronto Film Festival. I really enjoyed it - the camera work was sharp, and the acting was good - with the most memorable scene probably being the scene during the fight. I also saw the Trailer - it was pretty cool, in my opinion. But the most special part about it (well, at least for me) had been when the crew had set up and moved everything over to a new location! Wow! We're used to seeing the film filmed near Vancouver, and Vancouver actually used one of their own locations, a huge lake, for the Vancouver locations!!!

Now, I LOVE Italian horror films. The cheesier they are, the better. However, this is not cheesy Italian. This is week-old spaghetti sauce with rotting meatballs. It is amateur hour on every level. There is no suspense, no horror, with just a few drops of blood scattered around to remind you that you are in fact watching a horror film. The "special effects" consist of the lights changing to red whenever the ghost (or whatever it was supposed to be) is around, and a string pulling bed sheets up and down. Oooh, can you feel the chills? The DVD quality is that of a VHS transfer (which actually helps the film more than hurts it). The dubbing is below even the lowest "bad Italian movie" standards and I gave it one star just because the dialogue is so hilarious! And what do we discover when she finally DOES look in the attic (in a scene that is daytime one minute and night the next)...well, I won't spoil it for anyone who really wants to see, but let's just say that it isn't very "novel"!

Now, I LOVE Italian horror movies and am a big fan of films like The Others, Hostel, Nekromantis, Hostel 3 and the list goes on and on. This movie doesn't quite live up to those expectations, but does it for what it is.<br /><br />The story is fairly original - at one point it would have been better to develop it a bit more and it would have made for a more believable story.

If your just going to make a flick from a bad joke at another movies cost (or to be honest, your life) - I would rather have a low budget remake of one of Tarantino's projects.

It's a classic example of great lighting, great direction and excellent acting to combine together into a really entertaining piece of Italian horror. It's definitely a fun movie to watch during a cool late August night, especially if you like some comedy with some gore thrown in. But, there's nothing I would rather see than the little bit of cheesy lighting, cheesy acting and bad special effects.<br /><br />The film is about a boy named Giovanni (David Thewlis).

Now, I LOVE Italian horror
|
movies and I know a decent Italian horror film just won't be able to beat a 10, but this flick is definitely a keeper for the horror fan. It's a classic example of great lighting, great direction and excellent acting to combine together into a really entertaining piece of Italian horror. It's definitely a fun movie to watch during a cool late August night, especially if you like some comedy with some gore thrown in. But, there's nothing I would rather see than the little bit of cheesy lighting, cheesy acting and bad special effects.<br /><br />The film is about a boy named Giovanni (David Thewlis).

This cheap, grainy-filmed Italian flick is about a couple of inheritors of a manor in the Italian countryside who head up to the house to stay, and then find themselves getting killed off by ghosts of people killed in that house.<br /><br />I wasn't impressed by this. It wasn't really that scary, mostly just the way a cheap Italian film should be. A girl, her two cousins, and one cousin's girlfriend, head to this huge house for some reason (I couldn't figure out why) and are staying there, cleaning up and checking out the place. Characters come in and out of the film, and it's quite boring at points, and the majority of deaths are quite rushed. The girlfriend is hit by a car when fleeing the house after having a dream of her death, and the scene is quite good, but then things get slow again, until a confusing end, when the male cousins are killed together in some weird way, and this weirdo guy (I couldn't figure out who he was during the movie, or maybe I just don't remember) goes after this one girl, attacking her, until finally this other girl kills him off. Hate to give away the ending, but oh well. The female cousin decides to stay at the house and watch over it, and they show scenes of her living there years later. The end. You really aren't missing anything, and anyway, you probably won't find this anywhere, so lucky you.

This cheap, grainy-filmed Italian flick by Giorgio Morandi is probably the very best film he has ever made. Here he plays a young actor, played by Massimo Ballerini, at the local theatre, where he wants to write a play for his students. Along comes a wealthy and aristocratic man named Luigi (Jeroen Kruijssen) who also happens to be playboy, but when a student falls in love with him (who plays a minor role) he decides to tell Massimo the same thing, even though he does not love his wife (who is played extremely well here by a much younger Sondra Locke).

It starts as an interesting little western with lots of good action sequences and some great dialogue - it was supposed to be a little film about a Texan's dream job with the FBI. However, the more I watched the movie, the more it seemed to be a satire towards the Western and police genre in general.

This cheap, grainy-filmed Italian flick features a superimposed, superfluous soundtrack, a nonsensical story, and an overbearing, over the top, over-the-owl script. If you've ever been a fan of a particular movie, and it's a classic and you wanna watch the same thing, there may be no excuse why you can't watch it. No matter how tedious it might appear otherwise, this is still a worthwhile watch. I personally find this version of "Cat People" very enjoyable, seeing as how it's the only version of the film I've seen and it's simply a delight. The film is fun to watch with the subtitles

This cheap, grainy-filmed Italian flick was all the fun of its early day life. This tale of a young lad (the great actor, Burt Reynolds) who is being groomed by his father to become an accountant but he has little sense of morality and is often a jerk. His father is a big believer in the school boy code and teaches him to be a good person so that his family's legacy will live on. In actual fact, this is an excellent film about life on the streets and the struggles an average family may have to live through.

This cheap, grainy-filmed Italian flick is just a slap in the face to the director, the writers, the actors and the studio. A couple of interesting scenes: the scene where the two girls meet in a bar. This is the best part of the movie: they are the most romantic couple I have ever seen. Then the movie turns into a garbage can: two guys who are "intelligent" and "educated" (they were not and not even close to being educated) and they fall for each other. This leads to a "kiss" scene in the "love's hotel." Then the film finally turns into a "movie": the two girls get engaged

This cheap, grainy-filmed Italian flick is supposed to be about three different people having heart-to-heart conversations in a café or somewhere similar. What I saw made me think this was true.<br /><br />The problem is simple, this is, among other things, a bad Italian film made under budget. A lot of scenes are so long, you really think you've seen it, but I didn't think I was. The dialog is stupid as heck.

This cheap, grainy-filmed Italian flick offers great insight into the Italian art (and lack thereof) that's evident in the film's themes and the characters' choices. I'm fascinated by the fact that the Italian cinema community have a hard time appreciating "the art" when it comes to their favorite types of movies.<br /><br />The premise of the film - 1961s youth who all go out of their way to save the lives of their local water-goddess (who was drowned by a river murderer who is also a water-goddess) - is both historically and politically in touch with contemporary Italian society as well.

This cheap, grainy-filmed Italian flick is based on Cian Masterton's best-selling novel. It's a romantic comedy, set in the 1930s, starring a young John Gielgud as a young poet whose "lady's eye" (as many call his novel - the title: "The Blue Brief Case") is the young lady who marries his estranged hero, an ageing poet. The film is one of the best romantic comedies ever made, and is a great testament that not all modern romantic comedies have to be made by romantic actors.<br /><br />It's a terrific cast, most notably John Gielg

This cheap, grainy-filmed Italian flick is about a girl with a big heart who saves two other girls from drowning. They are not quite likeable characters but they are real human beings and it is an excellent film with very good special effects (though the CGI is quite dated now). The story is a bit simplistic and repetitive, but there is far more to it than meets the eye! There are two main characters: the two girl who are the most appealing (and they look great), and the two that are not as good, and you get all kinds of interesting situations. This makes for really enjoyable viewing, and the camera work is rather inventive. I liked the action scenes

I just finished watching this movie and am disappointed to say that I didn't enjoy it a bit. It is so slow Slow and uninteresting. This kid from Harry Potter plays a shy teenager with an rude mother, and then one day the rude mother tells the kid to find a job so that they could accommodate an old guy apparently having no place to live has started to live with his family and therefore the kid goes to work for a old lady. And this old lady who is living all alone teaches him about girls, driving car and life! I couldn't get how an 18 year old guy enjoy spending time with an awful lady in her 80s. Sorry if my comments on this movie has bothered people who might have enjoyed it, I could be wrong as I am not British and may not understand the social and their family structure and way of life. Mostly the movie is made for the British audience.

I just finished watching this film.<br /><br />It looks as though it takes place on a daily basis, but who knows what daily life is like for the residents of the community in which this takes place in California. We find out on several occasions as to why the inhabitants of the community appear to be so different from the surrounding suburban areas. Each of the characters is unique and interesting.<br /><br />This film will keep you occupied with various characters, with the added element of suspense. It is also a great reminder that there is hope in the community, and as with all good things, it is all good.<br /><br />I recommend this

I just finished watching this movie this morning and honestly, I was a little surprised about the film's ending but it ended up being just what I expected. It didn't seem like it was done because the ending came as unexpected. Overall, there was so many great parts to this film. It's only really been picked up in the United States recently because of its location (the United States does not seem very appealing or sexy to British viewers.

I just finished watching this movie yesterday on TV in one of the cities that I was recently in. I was extremely excited and very pleasantly surprised. I found the story interesting and very moving. The movie made me think about a lot of the issues that we deal with in modern society. I agree that technology is becoming more and more relevant with technology being the most powerful force in our nation's history. I think if we stop using technology, as people become more technologically literate, we will make far better citizens. The concept of a government is always interesting to me. I don't think that the idea of a monarchy works out very well for the citizens.

The way the camera started and ended, had me gasping for another episode.<br /><br />Then, there was the fact that the ending was a bit abrupt. It felt rushed, but I understand why it was done this way to fill some time. Now, back to the story... The movie was filmed in a very beautiful and naturalistic way. The movie was not very long, so the focus stayed on one character, a man who was so much more than a good man.. a family man who had always been in love.<

I just finished watching this and it's great. This is probably my favorite episode of the first season. In fact, what may be the funniest episode I have seen is "Miserable" (or "Death and Deity"). The story and character development is all about, as usual, the characters taking the leap to what they really feel about their relationships with those closest to them. It's never going to be perfect, but at least there's a whole lot of great comedy in this episode! The fact that it's not really about sex at the end just makes it all that much funnier!

Ben, (Rupert Grint), is a deeply unhappy adolescent, the son of his unhappily married parents. His father, (Nicholas Farrell), is a vicar and his mother, (Laura Linney), is ... well, let's just say she's a somewhat hypocritical soldier in Jesus' army. It's only when he takes a summer job as an assistant to a foul-mouthed, eccentric, once-famous and now-forgotten actress Evie Walton, (Julie Walters), that he finally finds himself in true 'Harold and Maude' fashion. Of course, Evie is deeply unhappy herself and it's only when these two sad sacks find each other that they can put their mutual misery aside and hit the road to happiness.<br /><br />Of course it's corny and sentimental and very predictable but it has a hard side to it, too and Walters, who could sleep-walk her way through this sort of thing if she wanted, is excellent. It's when she puts the craziness to one side and finds the pathos in the character, (like hitting the bottle and throwing up in the sink), that she's at her best. The problem is she's the only interesting character in the film (and it's not because of the script which doesn't do anybody any favours). Grint, on the other hand, isn't just unhappy; he's a bit of a bore as well while Linney's starched bitch is completely one-dimensional. (Still, she's got the English accent off pat). The best that can be said for it is that it's mildly enjoyable - with the emphasis on the mildly.

Every movie I have PPV'd because Leonard Maltin praised it to the skies has blown chunks! Every single one! When will I ever learn?<br /><br />Evie is a raving Old Bag who thinks nothing of saying she's dying of breast cancer to get her way! Laura is an insufferable Medusa filled with The Holy Spirit (and her hubby's protégé)! Caught between these harpies is Medusa's dumb-as-a-rock boy who has been pressed into weed-pulling servitude by The Old Bag!<br /><br />As I said, when will I ever learn?<br /><br />I was temporarily lifted out of my malaise when The Old Bag stuck her head in a sink, but, unfortunately, she did not die. I was temporarily lifted out of my malaise again when Medusa got mowed down, but, unfortunately, she did not die. It should be a capital offense to torture audiences like this!<br /><br />Without Harry Potter to kick him around, Rupert Grint is just a pair of big blue eyes that practically bulge out of its sockets. Julie Walters's scenery-chewing (especially the scene when she "plays" God) is even more shameless than her character.<br /><br />At least this Harold bangs some bimbo instead of Maude. For that, I am truly grateful. And if you're reading this Mr. Maltin, you owe me $3.99!

Every movie I have PPV'd for since was better than this, but I give this one the highest rating by a mile. A lot of that could be from the direction, although I thought the script was pretty creative. The photography... not bad. Most of everything else was good, but it is the acting that really made the movie. I found every single one of the characters to be well written as if they were all in this movie just made. The acting overall is like a whole lot better than I had expected for this movie. If anyone is looking to get rid of some bad memories, watching this one is well worth it. I really liked it. It

off of the original "Star Wars" series is on cable or the big box, so I have to admit that I have not yet seen it. So, I waited for this movie to arrive on blu-ray and I was pretty eager to see how it played. What I got was just plain boring, uninspired and really, really, REALLY cheesy. There is absolutely no story and in fact, really, the only highlight of the film, aside from the awesome CG landscapes, is T'Faur's costume. And that was about as much as this flick had to offer. The movie is about four young children who are involved

Low budget horror movie. If you don't raise your expectations too high, you'll probably enjoy this little flick. Beginning and end are pretty good, middle drags at times and seems to go nowhere for long periods as we watch the goings on of the insane that add atmosphere but do not advance the plot. Quite a bit of gore. I enjoyed Bill McGhee's performance which he made quite believable for such a low budget picture, he managed to carry the movie at times when nothing much seemed to be happening. Nurse Charlotte Beale, played by Jesse Lee, played her character well so be prepared to want to slap her toward the end! She makes some really stupid mistakes but then, that's what makes these low budget movies so good! I would have been out of that place and five states away long before she even considered that it might be a good idea to leave! If you enjoy this movie, try Committed from 1988 which is basically a rip off of this movie.

He has a 945 caliber gun that is a gift from his older father (George, with whom he got divorced). His gun is displayed at gun fair.

Low budget horror movie. If this movie had had a higher budget it might have won awards for its art directing, editing, sound recording and direction and acted like a serious movie, rather than one-way train and bus rides to a series of locations where you go and see what they were having for lunch. The script, although not original, was actually entertaining and had some laughs. The characters were interesting. The movie is about a couple finding their way to a cabin in the woods on a hot sunny summer day. While they wander, the first thing their eye catches is the abandoned cabin. They take turns taking turns taking turns sleeping in a hammock, while listening to

Low budget horror movie. If you are looking for the most effective and convincing, well done film for Halloween then this should be your go to for you. This should not be mistaken for the other recent movie that has been very successful for Halloween, Jason Vorhees. It just doesn't quite measure up in both aspects. It is not as well done in the style of Jason Vorhees, it is just plain terrible, all the acting is amateur compared to a movie like Jason as in Jason and the Argonites and Jason the Rapture. This is a movie that is basically meant to take advantage off the popularity of the movie and create one of the fun

Low budget horror movie. If you want an exciting horror you will really like it. It is not a very good thriller but it's at least watchable.<br /><br />The story has some good actors such as Keanu Reeves, John Leguizamo, Paul Bartel and Christopher Lloyd. They all give decent performances but most of time their acting is not very strong. <br /><br />This is not a great movie, it's not even one of the best horror movies from the seventies or even from the eighties. So I think it is a good mix between suspenseful thriller and horror, so I give it three. But I

Low budget horror movie. If you see this film you might get a kick out of it, that's what made it "so BORING". This is one film where the director uses cheap special effects in order to make his point.<br /><br />There were several scenes and dialogs that I find boring, like this one in which a police lieutenant is getting an injection for the local killer and she is going out to the party, because she's having a hard time coping. And this in turn led to a very abrupt climax, which also was boring.<br /><br />Another example how special effects get in the way: the killer is given a 9

Low budget horror movie. If you have read or are exposed to the subject matter of the movie, you know that it's not meant to be taken seriously. If you've done some of the thinking out loud thinking, the premise alone brings a sense of discomfort. But it isn't the problem of the movie. What the movie is about is a real-life woman's experiences with obsessive compulsive disorder. It doesn't matter how hard a story you hope to tell, it's really, really, really hard to be honest about the subject matter in order to inform the audience of your message or to create a sense of trust in the audience.

Low budget horror movie. If this is the type of movie you like, then this is for you. It has a lot in common with the movie "House of the Dead" but I found the original one a lot better. The special effects are great for what the budget was for and the plot is better too. If you are looking for something to watch on the weekend with your family, then see this. It is a fun movie to get the family together and enjoy. The special effects are excellent. The camera angles are always good and the lighting is always cool.

Low budget horror movie. If you liked "Sleepwalkers", this was another good example showing horror on the level of amateurism. Some of the shots were quite well-acted especially by the lead actor. The plot was very similar to the "Shinjuku" movie. It is a remake. <br /><br />"Sleepwalkers" makes the same impression that it gets, which is why I recommend this movie over the original movie. It has a lot of potential but could get lost in the details of the movie. In the original movie, the acting was mostly bad. Since this movie was filmed by amateurs, most of the cast had no

Low budget horror movie. If the plot is that of a plot, that's a much better ending then it was for me to suffer through the movie at the start. That's because the story behind the horror wasn't given. There was little about the main characters. I wanted them to help out a bit more. It just seemed that we knew what was going to happen with them even when they didn't say anything about it. I wanted to laugh too and at least had a happy ending because I'm one of those who wants happy endings. I did not find this film dull or boring. It was just not scary or even suspenseful enough.

Low budget horror movie. If you like the genre, it's better than most. And if you're not, it's not bad if you like a film with no storyline and no ending but can be still enjoy watching. 10/10.<br /><br />If you enjoyed this movie, you will enjoy the other in the same series, Ghosts of the Island of Hope. I also recommend renting this movie to a friend who knows very well horror and likes such movies. They will love it. Plus, it helps him to develop his/her senses of horror. It will be fun if a friend of the same genre with a similar taste as yours

Dr Stephens (Micheal Harvey) runs a mental asylum. He has a different approach to the insane. He conducts unorthodox methods of treatment. He treats everyone like family, there are no locks on the patients doors and he lets some of the inmates act out their twisted fantasies. He lets Sergeant Jaffee (Hugh Feagin) dress and act as a soldier and Harriet (Camilla Carr) be a mother to a doll, including letting her put it to bed in a cot. Dr. Stevens is outside letting Judge Oliver W. Cameron (Gene Ross) chop a log up with an axe, it turns out to be a bad move as once Dr. Stevens back is turned the Judge plants the axe in his shoulder. Soon after Nurse Charlotte Beale (Rosie Holotik) arrives at the Sanitarium having arranged an interview with Dr. Stevens about a possible job. She is met by the head Nurse, Geraldine Masters (Annabelle Weenick as Anne McAdams) and is offered a trail position. She gets to know and becomes well liked among the patients. However things eventually start to turn sour, the phone lines are cut, an old lady named Mrs. Callingham (Rhea MacAdams) has her tongue cut out and she starts to get a strange feeling that things just aren't right somehow. Then, one night all the Sanitariums dark secrets are violently revealed. Produced and directed by S.f. Brownrigg this film has a great central idea which builds into a cool twist ending, but ultimately is a bit of a chore to sit through because of it's low budget restrictions and a rather slow script by Tim Pope. There are just too many long boring stretches of dialogue by the inmates, not a lot really happens until the final twenty odd minutes. The film has no real visual quality as it's set entirely in the Sanitarium and it's grounds which is basically just a big bland house in the middle of nowhere. There's no graphic gore in it, a few splashes of blood here and there and thats yer lot. There's a bit of nudity, but like the gore not much. The acting is pretty strong, especially Holotik and Weenick. The photography is flat and unexciting and I can't even remember what the music was like. The twist ending is great, but it just takes far too long to get to it. A film that had a lot of potential that was probably held back by it's budget. OK I guess, but I think it would have worked a lot better if the story had been turned into a half an hour 'Tales form the Crypt' episode.

Dr Stephens (Micheal Harvey) runs a hotel (Mr Green's Hotel) in a small town. He's just about to walk out of business when he meets a woman who's being pushed to the limit by her abusive husband. He soon discovers that she's the daughter of a wealthy doctor who makes a bet that he'll be a nurse on his next trip...<br /><br />The story is very well constructed, the dialogue is extremely comic, and the performances are superb. <br /><br />This is a film that's probably best seen in the theatre, where the humour is more accessible. Watchable if you're in the mood for a laugh this morning

He has to deal with the fact that his wife will be leaving, leaving his wife to manage his school and children and to teach his daughters there. But there is a very, very dark story going on behind the scenes, one which leads him towards the path of vengeance against all those who take over his childhood school. <br /><br />I will say that I think this is one of Ruggi's best dramas, he does a great job.

We see her in her room looking at the wall and having a conversation about the end of her life. Then he leaves but only to be back the next day as long as the housekeeper doesn't mention the end of her life. He is just visiting and they are very nice. This is followed by a very good story telling and a very dramatic ending. Definitely a movie worth watching. I highly suggest this. 8/10. (0.45 rating.) IMDb link. The director was Robert Altman

The Forgotten (AKA: Don't Look In The Basement) is a very cheaply made and very old looking horror movie.<br /><br />The story is very slow and never really reaches anything worth getting excited about.<br /><br />The patients at the asylum are embarrassingly funny especially Sam and the old woman who always quotes an old saying to everyone. (Look out for the bit when she gets close to the camera, tell me you can watch without laughing!).<br /><br />Now the gore is very poor looking, with the blood looking pink in many scenes so it doesn't really deserve its place on the video nasties list!.<br /><br />Overall if you aren't looking for a fantastic horror film and have some time to spare then it's worth a watch.

The Forgotten (AKA: Don't Look Back, AKA: The Lost). Written and directed by Richard Lester, this is a terrific story of romance against reality that is not an easy one to watch because it is a story of war that was the main reason that Hollywood stopped making films years ago. The movie is set in the early days of the Korean War and I have always considered this to be the best war film because of how little action there was. We are treated to only a few scenes of fighting, and this film is not always a strong movie, but still I would still recommend it to anyone. Not going to lie, I didn't love this movie as much

The Forgotten (AKA: Don't Look Back In The Darkness, 1959): A film that is more than just a typical revenge story; there is a touch of occult element (here's an example: there's a girl who tells "the Devil" things that she feels are not true). The film also features a cast with the likes of Gary Cooper, who unfortunately didn't make the best of it. (There's yet another example: the film actually had a better opening, the opening to "The Evil Dead" had actually been filmed, but it was so busy that the camera kept falling in a row behind to allow time for the film to start).
