At a friends today, she had Erik Satie on the CD player and Gymnopedie No.3 magically filled the room. Haunting and beautiful, this has to be one of my favourite pieces. Written for piano, it was...
Cold characters and bland plot make for a bad movie.
I gave this movie an extra pity star only because I adore Woody Allen's work. Otherwise this movie would have recieved only one star. The problem with Another Woman is that the main character,...
?How would you like to see Glena Rowlands cast as Scrooge? Dicken's " A Christmas Carol" was brilliantly updated by Bergman in Wild Strawberries". Woody would like to be Bergman ( instead of...
...almost got lost in the review. Rob Lowe is young, cunning. James Spader, youthful and with generosity-but naiive!!! Spader's "stumbling block" becomes his tumbling "block" as Rob...
Martin Sheen (The Dead Zone) plays Cal Jamison, a psychologist who gets mixed up w/ a cult that practices human sacrifice (on kids no less). It seems that this underground group of hoodoo fanatics...
Everyone tries real hard(the reason for three stars) but this one sinks from not being a "Believer"
The cast and crew work over time to sell this modern day voodoo tale, and for a few moments here and there they sell it very well,but the religion is mixed up and the horror is very thin when it...
I saw this video and was not really pleased, as I had read the novel, "The Religion" and it was so absolutely engrossing in it's content. I had hoped for the same to happen with the movie, as well....
I love this movie. It is aptly described as a psychological thriller because that is exactly what it is. You won't see a lot of fast-paced action and suspense. The entire film is a slow build up...
In the 1980's there was a whole string of slasher flicks that had numerous nubile girls being systematically slaughtered. It is almost a genre un to itself. In that vein this is pretty much the...
Forgettable, low-budget 80s horror from Roberta Findlay
A lot of directors would qualify as sleaze-meisters, but I only know of one who can actually claim the ignominious honor of being dumped from the adult movie industry. Roberta Findlay's directing...
After this movie ends, you may say, "Naw, this can't happen." But you will be stuck with the thought that it just might happen this way. The moral of the story for me was not to let peer pressure...
By far this is one of the worst movies ever done. A real shame for Heard and everyone involved. Nothing really happens for about 90% of the running time, and when it does it's just plain silly. The...
A nice traditional monster movie except that now the monsters are in the sewers. Douglas's Cheeks CHUD is a cult classic in my book. You know nowadays so many wannabee filmmakers try to do the same...
The '64 black and white horror film 'Devil Doll' is a decidedly unnerving feature that has the feel of an extended episode of the old television series 'The Twilight Zone.' The camera work is...
Good low budget chiller with a few unintentional laughs
Unrelated to the 1936 Tod Browning movie of the same name; DEVIL DOLL has a similar story to the (later) famed segment of DEAD OF NIGHT and also to William Goldman's later novel MAGIC, which was...
This movie lacks all imagination that could have been put into the production. There is just a lot of male nudity and gore, and eerie sexual tension between the boy and his horse.
This film encapsulatates most of what was wrong with the culture of the 1970s. An insane boy mutiliates a bunch of animals. Burton (a psychiatrist) sets out to "help" the boy (somehow) by probing...
I enjoyed it as much this time as I did back in the 70's when it was a cult film with my friends. You know how sometimes you go back to something you loved as a teenager and find that it does not...
Faye Dunaway is one of my favorite actresses. She gives a good performance but is limited by a mediocre plot in this mediocre movie. She is the Laura Mars of the title. Laura is a high fashion...
I remember seeing "The Eyes of Laura Mars" in the theater lo' these many years ago and while not a life-changing motion picture it has remained, since then, utterly watcheable. I confess I have sat...
I can't believe some here loved this laughably inept, sub-Scorsese dreck. Badly written, directed, and acted, its only value is to remind you how good the classics of the mob genre are in...
I stumbled upon this film at a local video store. Aside from Joe Pesci and Frank Vincent, most of the actors are pretty much unknown. The plot of the story is solid and believable, but the picture...
In Far From Home, Drew Barrymore plays a teenager named Joleen who is coming back from vacation with her divorced father when they run out of gasoline in a tiny, remote, obscure desert town in...
Returning from a vacation, a father who knows nothing has run out of gas somewhere in Nevada on the way back to L. A. Charlie Cox has his preteen daughter along who is about to have a birthday. A...
....... I would never have bought it in the first place. This is really a stupid movie. It is all based on sex and getting revenge. This is definitely not my fav movie of Drew.
You don't hear much about this film anymore, but in its day, this was the most-talked about movie of the year. It was a 'favorite topic of conversation about the office water cooler' for a number...
This is another one of Michael Douglas' thriller chillers. They are all pretty much the same by now, but when this was released it created quite a buzz. One night of cheating with Glenn Close was...
Give it a chance! A Potent, Unforgettable movie in its own right!
I actually read ALL the books of this series before ever seeing the movie, and I STILL actually loved the movie!! The acting was good by all concerned. Louise Fletcher was so good in this...
I don't know why they even bothered making the movie
If anyone wants to know what the book would have been like without the incest, they should watch this. It is basically an excuse to watch children being tortured and starved for an hour and a...
I cannot recommend this film enough to fans of B-horror. There's lots of gore, violence, slapstick humor, and it's like watching a how-to guide of making movies about giant rodents. I thought it...
Great idea (large rats eat people on a college campus), bad execution (the microphone is visible three times in the first 30 minutes), still compared to some of the other rat turds floating around...
Not high up on the list of Sam Peckinpah movies, this is actually a pretty entertaining and -- for Peckinpah -- toned down movie. Caan and Duval star as employees of a private security company...
I watched this movie a long time ago when I was much younger and it immediately became one of my favorites. First the movie was directed by Sam Peckinpah who's style I always liked. Second it...
It was almost unfathomable to me that this film would be a bust but I was indeed disappointed. Having been a connoisseur of Pekinpah cinema for years, I found this DVD, drastically reduced, for...
This movie hit the theaters in Miami Florida on July 13 1973 starring the gorgeous Jennifer O'Neill as Paula Booth, Donald Sutherland as Andy Hammon the Insurance Investigator, and Patrick Magee as...
Fortunatly my mother was very happy to receive this movie as a gift, since it suits her interests, however, I originally purchased it as a gift for my sister, who is very into anime. The movie is...
classic early talkie gangster flick not remastered
THis movies print looks really bad , like many warner brothers movies on standard dvd they made no attempt to clean up or repair the print. Still this is a classic early gangster movie in which...
Please don't take this movie too seriously. Think of the time period this movie took place in. It is corny, unbelievable and thoroughly enjoyable. It is in some places hilarious. I,m...
Just as James Cagney broke through to stardom in 1931 as "The Public Enemy", so Edward G Robinson did the same in 1930 with "Little Caesar". These are the 2 gangster films which really...
This was indeed one of the last cold-war films that I can recall. The premise, that Soviet sleepers of many years could be called up for espionage, is played out with Mr. Poitier as the FBI agent...
I saw this movie because it stars River Phoenix, my favorite actor. I would have to say that this movie basically wastes his talent [but not as much as A Night In the Life of Jimmy Reardon does]....
Well intended, broke a muscle while watching those scenes of torture. With nerve I stared it in the eye. I was hopeful. In the end I felt obligated to support a certain freedom. And I do.
Admittedly I am reviewing this movie in comparison to the infinitely better book, which may not be fair. There's no way to improve upon any of Pat Conroy's books in movie form, but it is possible...
"Marathon Man" is a CLASSIC of the Suspense genre and my favorite Dustin Hoffman film. I always thought that this movie and "The French Connection" would make the GREATEST double feature! Both are...
A prime example of the way highly styled entertainment should be...
Schlesinger made a great action-suspense film and married it to the artistry of unique talents... Hoffman was, by then, a dynamic, young and incredibly versatile film actor with three Academy Award...
I got this DVD.......in German!!!! I had NOT requested it in German, why would I? Big surprise when it arrived. I had to return it and request a copy in English (duh!) but seller stated he was...
I just can't tell you all how much I love this movie! But I will try anyway... It will never go down as a true classic, but few films have brought me as much enjoyment as this one. There is...
This is the kind of movie that you don't expect much out of. Which I will admit I thought when I first heard of this movie. Denzel playing a jamaican cop?, Robert Townsend playing a dreadlocked...
A long, long time ago, in a past life far, far away, I casually watched this film, having rented it on VHS (say what?) mainly out of interest in the subject matter, but unlike other rented videos...
Anthony Edwards ER - The Complete First Season plays Harry who has finally met the love of his life. But first the Big Bang and checking out the Labrea Tarpits. In the midst of the Pits (sorry)...
I tried to watch this film twice. I gave up early the first time because I couldn't understand a lot of the dialogue. The Cockney accents did me in. Most of the time the girl spoke is a very low...
very good movie, except they didn't get the plane right on the outside...I worked for an airline and I'm know aircraft like the back of my hand and they keep changing the type of aircraft they were...
This is a good TV movie mystery. Sometimes it's just fun to watch a good mystery. Terrorists? I didn't see any. But I do have to comment on some knocks to this film's cast. I read in a...
Lacklustre Thriller with Mediocre Acting, Script and Suspense!
Michael Crichton's first directorial effort came in the form of Pursuit, a television film made 1972. Following the critical acclaim garnered with the Robert Wise production of The Andromeda Strain...
"Pursuit" tells the story of a team of Government Agents trying to head off an assassination attempt on President Nixon during the 1972 Republican Convention. This ABC Movie of the Week featured...
Sam Dietz (Leo Rossi: 'Halloween 2', 'Maniac Cop 2'), a cop from New York, has made detective grade. He is re-assigned to the Los Angeles Police Department, and his first assignment is to track...
Relentless was Judd Nelson's best film. Though it's not great at all, the kills are stupid, and so is the story. If you want a really good serial killer movie, buy The watcher with Keanu Reeves....
This is a GREAT MOVIE. Story written by Jim Harrison. Enough said.
This is a GREAT MOVIE. If your only reference for what a REVENGE movie is supposed to be is "Kill Bill" and the only reading you do is the labels on the buttons of your PS3 or the microwave...
Tony Scott has ruined this film with "director's cut" changes... Shame on you Tony Scott!
This has always been one of my favorite Costner films. Usually, director's cuts of films include omitted material, that expands on and enhances the original film. Tony Scott, the director, has now...
Michael Cochran (Kevin Costner) retires as a naval pilot and visits his Mexican mob boss friend Tibby (Anthony Quinn). After violating rule 1 of the guy code and sleeping with his friend's wife...
When Ingmar Bergman was in self-imposed exile from Sweden, in the late 1970s, over a flap where he was accused by the Swedish government of tax evasion, he made several films abroad. One of them...
In his earlier years as a writer/director, Bergman often said he wished film making was an anonymous art. Although he later rejected the desire as "romantic," I appreciate his point. It's...
Ingmar Bergman is perhaps my favorite director, if not, he surely is in the top ten. Film after film I feel Bergman has displayed the human condition in the most realistic and poetic ways any other...
Justice, vengeance, madness and missed opportunities
I bought this movie because Beau Bridges is in it as well as the underappreciated Ron Leibman (still wait for his Kaz TV series to be transferred on Disc). They both have their share of the action....
What is supposed to be a comment on how the justice system favors criminals while victims suffer doesn't shed a new perspective on the idea. Bridges and Moore don't have much chemistry as the...
A must see for anyone who lives in Seattle. This film takes you on a thrill packed romp from the concrete jungles of Pioneer Square, to the sub-terrainian horrors of underground Seattle. Filled...
Demi Moore's tortured screams of "Noooo! Noooo!" at the end of this garbage heap of a film were very appropriate, since that is exactly what I was thinking after realizing I had wasted 90 minutes...
All the characters are very annoying. Not too intellectual either. I guess, those who like Demi Moore will like the movie, I am not one of them. Three stars out of respect for Jurgen Prochnow only...
