This is an action Western.

The title of the film describes it--only I don't know how to call this movie "a western", much less a "western" story, or "action".<br /><br />A large, heavily armed mob marches through Central Park killing all but two tourists who are on their way out for the day. With only about three policemen left and one police dog in sight, they have no idea what happens next because that's also why we've been given little more than a glimpse into how these guys think.<br /><br />The main reason we watch is not even so much for entertainment as finding ourselves along with the gang (

A guy wants to run a mile and he does, so he decides that the other side will pay him money for it.<br /><br />He tells his friend about this, who's hired by the police chief (Cape Fear) because he can't arrest someone on evidence alone. So he takes two boys with $50 each from their home in Illinois into Virginia, where the father manages to shoot them. Now they must get there without anyone noticing them while driving through the country.<br /><br />'The Three Musketeers' kind of feels like one of John Wayne's early westerns except this time no big shot gets

I'm guessing that her mother was a film producer and so, as such, there will be many more of these movies...<br /><br />The special effects are pretty good but not enough to really make you care about what happens in those scenes.<br /><br />(Note: The only reason people gave it 8 stars instead of something like average or better..is probably because they didn't see how poorly written most of them were) <br /><br />I have some respect for Jean Peters but she sure has lost all credibility during the 20+ years since the first movie (when

Return to Cabin by the

Lake is an extraordinary film, unlike any other movie out there. I think this is one of those films that everyone should at least see once or twice.<br /><br />It's a sad movie as well but not just for its characters and story it tries so hard to follow (which was really amazing to me) but also as a metaphor of depression. In today's world where drugs seem like we can't help ourselves while we are young and do anything about anything (even if it does harm us), this will be more relevant than ever before because how often has your own mental illness caused you problems?

Lake is as enjoyable, if somewhat slow-moving (if that means you don't like watching dogs barking in an open field I guess), as it may sound. It's fun not because there's anything particularly exciting to see here but rather for the charming nature of being able to laugh at a story without actually having to worry too much about what will happen next...for example the two doggie friends who are getting into mischief while doing their own thing - quite obviously with some good humor thrown in there...<br /><br />But then again why would they even try?

its cast doesn't do much justice to the subject matter. The main character is played by a guy who acts like he's been sitting in his driveway for the past 3 months - and that seems like about how long the story takes.<br /><br />At least I got my $10.75 (after a free ticket) back because it seemed worth every penny.

Even now, having not read or seen a copy of this book on DVD (though hopefully soon will see one), and not even having written to my library, there is still something magic about this film.<br /><br />It all started with Edie Miller as Amanda Foster--a young woman who decides she's just plain tired. She goes up into the cabin where her parents were killed years ago because they don't have an escape route from their home--the last place they thought might be safe under those bad circumstances.

OK first of all the

title is misleading. The movie doesn't seem to be trying, but rather simply following a series of bizarre vignettes that are meant for laughs and fun.<br /><br />I won't take away from this, it's an enjoyable little film. I love movies like "the bodyguard" where they throw in lots of weird and odd characters into your lives along with fast paced drama and suspense.<br /><br />This one isn't as good though. It starts out at least ok by playing with a few sub-plot threads, which you could find more easily on any modern horror flick (such as "Saw"). In fact

Then there are some flaws: -The plot of "The Return" is very weak -The cast could use better casting. They're just too young (4-5) with an amazing beauty :O There's no chemistry between them. -In my opinion, one missing element from many Sci-Fi/Fantasy shows...A hero like James Treen did exist back then but doesn't have a name anymore.<br /><br />After all these shortcomings, you may ask yourself why

points in this movie. First off, the music was excellent (I'll stick to my favorite song by The Beatles called "With a Little Help from My Friends" since I think it ranks right up there as one of the best songs ever composed). There were also nice sound effects and cool special FX that came together perfectly with the plot line.<br /><br />Unfortunately, however, I felt like something happened after about 1/2 way through the movie which didn't make much sense.

It has all the usual characteristics that movies are meant to have, but also some new ones as well: the cinematography, where you can notice many moments when we don't see it on screen - they're so different than typical everyday cinema!

The actors make up a lot of the plot.

If you need some fast entertainment then rent this flick (it would be more appropriate for someone who has not been hit over the head by reality).<br /><br />The film started out great with Jack Black doing his usual stand-up bit but he made the character come off as unfunny at first due to being too young

There are no surprises in it (they only have them at the end anyway).<br /><br />I'm not going through all my pain that everyone else did - for me, watching is as far from enjoyment as possible. But even if you can ignore its boring story-line there will still be a problem with the ending which leaves a huge blank... Like every other Christian film out there!<br /><br />This one could use some

This was a pretty good script.It really surprised me when they ended up having them fight over "Buckaroos" again,what with his father always coming back to earth (from hell) for Buckaroo's funeral.In the end there wasn't one scene where you knew exactly what would happen next.That made watching it even more fun.I enjoyed the storyline.Also,the whole thing had some humour.

I've seen my fair share
|
of horror films at the box office during 2008; I'd say they're all rather average. This one however stands out as a fairly unique piece for being both a remake and an adaptation.<br /><br />The premise of the movie is that two guys are in Vegas planning to kill a girl with whom these men have been having a falling-out--but when they meet her, she tells them how lucky they really are -- that their lives could go back together if only they just had sex after killing each other. <br /><br />(This plot line has also existed before on numerous occasions).<br /><br

of crappy flicks and I don't think it's possible to film anything, but this was definitely one heckuva bad movie! It had absolutely nothing redeeming about it whatsoever. A few interesting points come into view:<br /><br />First thing that struck me is the name 'Sucker Punch.' When a writer says these types of things when you're writing something they might as well not be around - he must have been on crack or some other chemical concoction. It just goes to prove that good minds do indeed produce some very bizarre movies...<br /><br />The acting was dreadful from almost every character in the story

Paul Armstrong is a liberal,

anti-science, self-deceiving psychopath and a total waste of time to watch this movie. He's got the potential for great entertainment but ends up in a bunch of stupid moments where his lies make him look like an idiot.<br /><br />This guy has a mental capacity that was never developed by any other actor...if he were to work hard enough as long as Hollywood doesn't shoot this kind of rubbish it would be OK (I hope). Not even his character could save this dregs of film making from being trash on video disk!

social climber trying to get in touch with his more conventional friends who live the life of ordinary Americans. A successful businessman has died and he wants all that this world was worth: money!<br /><br />To try and earn enough money not only for him but also himself, Armstrong meets up an ex-boyfriend (Lionel Shumlin) whose fortune does seem to be working itself out.<br /><br />This movie tries hard; even though it isn't exactly mainstream it manages to draw you into its world so deep your heart knows how it should go on from there! One can feel completely involved...<br /><br

the best thrillers I've seen in 2013.

As other reviewers have noted
|
this film is a very bad parody of the classic "The Prisoner". Although I find it hard to believe that an Australian-made movie has been called such when its script was written by an ex-convict in 1974...<br /><br />Even considering all that, however, there are at least two points of interest: first is that so many people actually enjoy what must be considered rubbish nowadays; secondly as some of them point out, there's still plenty of humour here.<br /><br />To say no one likes "Prisoner" would do well.

the film looks and plays as much like a TV show. The characters are often played by people who look too young for their ages to be actors! They were just trying out for this role - even if they weren't very good at it.<br /><br />A movie is really only made great when you see one of your leads get his moment (and then he'll regret it).<br /><br />Somehow I believe that there was no audience in place during "The Great Escape" and every person who sat down was completely cut off from any information about where things would take them, which I guess was a bit disturbing

Seems that the cast should

have been younger and more well versed in their art. This movie did not make me laugh or smile all together, but was so cheesy I couldn't stop looking for something else to take my eyes off.<br /><br />This type of film is made when people try to get themselves a quick buck by making an average amount of money with little effort on the part of the filmmaker. A great example being The Princess Bride as they use the same formula over again. But this fails miserably here since there isn't much about it worth talking about. Everything looks like a bad 80's sitcom set to music.<br /><br

be a bit tighter here, to make the film more believable. I guess it will take some acting out of them just for laughs.<br /><br />The plot is OK although maybe there could have been better music and less boring scenes like when they are trying to rescue the old man from his "tapes".<br /><br />(And you can't call this drama).<br /><br />'Cousins' was certainly worth watching because of its performances in my opinion (Gaelan & Patrick) as well<br /><br />But if you expect your typical comedy movie or a sad story - skip this one! ;-)

comments The only reason I gave this a full rating is because it's so good, but that just puts people off seeing it. There are far more memorable horror movies out there than the stupid zombie ones we see every other week in TV shows. If you love movies like The Hills Have Eyes or Evil Dead then this movie should be on your list of favorites.<br /><br />It has some really funny moments and good gore. It isn't all gory though! This film made me laugh about once while I was watching it when zombies were running around. But if they had been running around carrying little plastic bags filled with popcorn instead

Next to "The Naked Eye" is a classic film that will always have my attention. A great movie full of drama, intrigue and action! As with most good films, there are parts where you just don't understand it all but once you finally figure out what's going on, everything makes perfect sense in your mind.<br /><br />This film has an original look (if the color scheme sounds familiar from the first half-hour or two) that I thought was very effective.
