The French consider Mickey Rourke America's greatest actor. In the 80s, they loved him for his "cool, his on-screen cruelty, his seediness, his sexual depravity" (New York Times Magazine,...
Elizabeth (Kim Bassinger) works at a trendy art gallery in New York City. She meets John (Mickey Rourke), a mysterious, wealthy stranger, and they begin a torrid affair. He's into game playing;...
It is not good as a mainstream movie , it does not have a good plot , some scenes are not relevant . Even as a soft-porn movie, it does not do a good job. Try watching "I like to play games"...
After watching the second installment, "The abductors" of the Ginger series I am tempted to go back to "Ginger" and lower the rating from 2 to one stars. This movie is far superior to the first,...
I was greatly surprised and pleased! Gorgeous girls everywhere, stripped naked! Lots of nudity! A funny plot! A true Skin Flick! BUY it! The dubbing of the Audio is terrible, but funny! The Visuals...
"Aguirre,the Wrath of God" is a cinematic masterpiece. Masterfully directed by Werner Herzog, Klaus Kinski is perfect as the homicidal,power-hungry Lope de Aguirre. The eerie music of Popol Vuh...
After reading about this "great, classic, etc" movie for years, I finally laid hands on a copy and viewed it. This is possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. It almost seemed like a joke at...
The stunning Amazonian location make this film interesting. The story of of the crazed Aguirre (played by Klaus Kinski) floating down the Amazon looking for El Dorado is haunting and dreamlike but...
Very strong movie, with some nice emotional moments. Perhaps a tad overdone and the baseball scenes could have been a bit more realistic. But its characters made you care, and it had some really...
I've always thought that this movie version of Mark Harris's wonderful novel was overrated. Moriarty is excellent, DeNiro pretty good (though it's not even close to the stunning work he would...
"The Big Town" doesn't break any cinematic ground but it's more than worth your while. How can you go wrong with a film that sports two Oscar winners(Tommy Lee Jones, Lee Grant) and three...
Matt Dillon stars in this Ben Bolt movie about a young gambler from the 50`s that goes to Chicago in order to improve his life. Diane Lane and Tommy Lee Jones also give standout performances here,...
I BOUGHT THIS MOVIE FOR NOSTALGIA.YOU HAVE A YOUNG CHARLIE SHEEN AND HIS FRIEND, DECIDE TO TAKE A ROAD TRIP TO L.A. BEFORE THEY GET STUCK FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES AT A FACTORY JOB. IT SHOWS...
Before Penelope Spheeris's directed "Wayne's World," she made another film about a pair of young men. "The Boys Next Door," though, contains little of the offbeat humor that marked the Dana...
One gets addicted to drugs, for sure, but that is only a small part of the business. This film tries to show how the addiction is an attitude, a social behavior, an act of belonging to a group, a...
Let me first say, I am a huge Gus Van Sant fan. However, this film is just not that good. The acting is pretty mundane, no real allstar performances, with the possible exception of Heather...
this one is about 4 losers who rob drug stores for..............what else?................drugs!then they either take them or sell them.nobody important showed up on audition day.this is not a...
After discovering that is partners are invloved in child pornography, a young boy escapes to Bronx, along with his sister. After arriving there, they take shelter in an apartment owned by Tony...
I'll say that the first time i saw this movie i was 16. I am honest saying that at that time i didn't like it. I was expecting something different and at that time the movie industry in colombia...
Rodrigo D is suppose to represent a "reality" film before "reality" TV emerged as a common and popular viewing choice. We are to follow the daily routine of Rodrigo D, a very poor and angry young...
George T. proves he can play gritty, tough street characters the way he portrayed Long Dong Silver in the biopic ''Silver Lining''. l found out that in the end of the movie when he is running from...
I noticed most of the cast didn't go on to other things, but this movie was ok. Even though, it came first, but it is sort of a "Menace II Society" wannabe. Not a great movie, but decent if you...
Notes on 8-1/2: In praise of reticence... Many critics and reviewers mention the "Creative Block" that the character of Guido/Fellini experiences. I don't think that is the
You know when you watch a film where the characters are filmmakers, you've entered the vanity zone. It's just a basic conceit that anyone who wants to create should avoid... don't make the creation...
It's really quite amusing reading all of the fawning encomia to this pretentious piece of garbage. Because this film's reputation is based on a top-down critical diktat rather than on inherent...
This movie is so romantic! It is amazing how enjoyable a movie can be when it leaves a little something for your imagination! The characters are portrayed so wonderfully by the cast. My 2 daughters...
I don't criticize this movie for being sentimental. I watched it ~because~ I was in the mood for a sentimental, romantic film. And I mean old-fashioned, 1950s, simple and sentimental.
I bought this after seeing it mentioned in Sleepless in Seattle. It was too slow, I lost interest quickly. I loved Sleepless, was surprised that this is so popular. I did like the ending,though.
The film is certainly fictional,but of a pleasant kind? Politically correct is the way I would describe this film. I read in an history of the period that this fellow was homosexual,
this was not a good movie when first released and it has not improved over time. the acting is stilted and over the top, the script poorly done and full of angst. Heston and Harrison are annoying...
This movie is so-so. It's not great, it's not bad, it's not awesome, it's not crappy. I didn't really like Richard Burton as Alexander. He over acted some parts too much and some parts not enough....
This is a better movie then the new one they made with Colin Farell. It is more refreshing to watch a movie that is easier to understand about the history then the confusing flashbacks that do not...
I remember from my youth the comic book being way better than the film. Watching as an adult only reaffirmed my childhood acumen as a critic. This movie is so amazingly boring it made me long for...
This movie classic is great whether it was seen decades ago and is being reviewed or if it is new to a generation that has yet to "fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night". The...
Scheming young actress Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter) insinuates herself into the social circle of successful but aging theatre actress Margo Channing (Bette Davis), and ultimately ends up...
The one-star review is for the Roan version only. I would generally give Roan high marks, but for some reason they used a cut version of the film, rendering the disc worthless. There is also a...
I really enjoyed this Paul Muni gives an over the top performance & Claude Rains makes a very astute Devil, who uses Paul Muni to begin a reign of terror in the USA. Paul(character is Eddie) is...
I got the wrong idea somewhere. When I originally read about this movie I heard it was about a tough gangster, played by Paul Muni, who after death tries to bust out of Hell. I was very...
Barabbas is an interesting "what if" presentation of Barabbas the man who was saved from execution when Jesus was crucified in his stead. The movie is heavily slanted towards a view of Christianity...
This movie is NOT the second-best book to the Bible
This movie is really bad. This movie gave my brother who's 20 now nightmares when he was a little boy. He was scared because of the lepers where scary and creepy and creeped the poor little boy...
An Old Testament Story. Like Joseph in the Old Testament, Judah Ben Hur is betrayed by a brother. Like Job, though righteous, Judah looses everything; land, title, and family. The ending? The...
The movie itself is excellent. The format, however, is extended into a rectangle, for people with plasma screens. Consequently, on my TV it appears elongated and reduced. Zooming doesn't do any good.
"Black Narcissus" is one of the most flamboyantly idiotic films ever made. Its idiocy is central to its existence. There is no deep, worthy inner soul of "Black Narcissus" beneath its idiotic...
The Oscar-winning 1947 story of a group of 5 nuns establishing a school/hospital mission at an ancient remote Himalayan palace . . . a former harem. They are to serve the village in the valley far...
I did not have any idea of its cutting. How come Criterion does this! But if you watch the movie you will feel the same way. A lot is missing in this movie. This should have been a fantastic...
"Brother Sun & Sister Moon" is the most beautiful film I have ever seen. I first saw it as a child and taped some of the lines on an audio tape and they have remained with me always. The story of...
I had to watch this movie in three different intervals because the movie was so boring. It was anticipating that this movie would answer some of my questions as to how Saints interact with God and...
The only reason I watched Brother Sun, Sister Moon was because I was in Assisi, Italy and learned about St. Clare. I read everything I could on her life. I already knew about St. Francis, and St....
The Greatest Story Ever Told (Movie Only Edition) (1965) is an inspiring epic that will go on and on for many years to come. The movie takes you from Jesus' birth through a life of teachings all...
The movie itself was good. The only thing that you should do is have the movie in fullscreen or wide. Let the people choose. Personaly I like full screen the best. That goes for all movies
It appeared to me that this film had high expectations in the 60's especially with the lavish production, but there are obvious faults. First, it appears it was filmed around Arizona and perhaps...
This was a movie not a story. I really didn't get the main character, he wasn't a good Jesus in many ways. His acting was excellent, but the character he played fell short. Also, Harvey Keitel...
Anything that upsets the fundies anywhere near as much as this movie does must be of some intrinsic value. Shades of grey frighten and anger the narrow-minded.
FORGET THIS ONE! SEE #1: "PASSION OF THE CHRIST," BY MEL GIBSON OR "JESUS OF NAZARETH." SCORSESES IS HORRIBLY MOCKING & PROFANE
This movie is not about love for Christ, but a mocking of Christ. It's about an anti-Christian hollywood trying, desperately, to counter Mel Gibson's mega-epic: 'The Passion of the Christ," which...
Tense, taut suspenser presents an object lesson on the nature of presumed guilt, and the corrosive power of the media, working with a police force desperate for "results', to virtually destroy the...
I very much enjoyed the excellent casting and acting of The Missiles of October. However, I am insulted by the way they portrayed the Republicans. I also find it childish for Kennedy to be flipping...
This version was made about 10 years after the event when the Kennedys were still treated reverently and with the avoidance of their foibles and failures. The competeing version 'Thirteen Days' was...
A beautiful documentary based on the true and incredibly sad story of the last "wild" Indian in North America. Ishi was a wise, gentle soul, and his story is heart-breaking.
Not many Americans are as familiar with Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series as we are say Hornblower or Patrick O'Brien's seafaring fiction. A & E's films series of C. S. Forester's Hornblower...
The BBC Sharpe's Series DVDs are a very very poor picture (the worst I've seen). I bought all four original Sharpe's episodes on DVD and they all are much worse quality (picture and sound) than are...
I find the other reviews about this movie sad and frustrating. Especially the reviewer who did not even finish the movie. The story is about two teenage girls told in reverse-highlighting the...
I was very disappointed with this movie, I liked the idea of it better than the movie itself.. it was very slow .. and it was hard to follow... and there was no plot... if you need help falling to...
I previously skipped over Sharpe's Eagle-the second in the BBC's television adaptations from the novels by Bernard Cornwell- because I was reading the book. The first Sharpe novel by Cornwell,...
I am a big fan of Bernard Cornwell's series of Sharpe books. While I enjoy these DVDs, they do not measure up to the books. The most disappointing part of these DVDs are the battle scenes....
Hi, i was very disappointed by this DVD Series! If you read the books forget the movies. The battles are looking very unrealistic and there are only around 100 soldiers. The bridge...
