This movie is much like the cult 1964 movie "Fail Safe" (which I highly recommend). I found this movie enjoyable and fast-moving. The acting wasn't excellent, nor was the production, but for a...
The topic is interesting and could well have been explored more in movies, but: The acting is really bad. Are the actors instructed in a way to make them under-perform? The psychology is absolutely...
First thing to remember when watching ANY movie about nuclear war ("Crimson Tide", "Fail Safe", "War Games", etc)or the government hierarchy is that most of the procedures and technical details...
I was the Location Manager on this picture and it was a tough one to make. The entire movie was made in and around Tucson, Arizona. We shot it in the summer with temperatures ranging upward to 110....
This is a reasonably decent HBO movie with Kris Kristofferson and Treat Williams working for the Border Patrol. When they find a buried jeep with a sniper rifle and money they start to investigate...
"You'll do better walking the beat in Beirut than you will here."
In the war zone of the South Bronx, the police of the 41st Precinct have the worst absentee record in the city, the most disability record claims, the least conviction per arrests, and there's...
I remember watching F.A., The Bronx as a kid in the 80's. I love it then but didn't understand it. Yeah, I guess you could say it was too 'deep' for me. But I enjoyed watching it. Maybe Pam Grier...
This is a gripping thriller with a background that feels authentic. A Palestinian teams up with a member of the Provisional IRA for the assassination of an Israeli scientist (Rod Steiger). A...
My local Moviestop had this movie used for $3.99. The best part of the movie is the big Chuck Norris leaping kick through the car windshield. Without even having to sit through all 96-minutes, you...
This movie is a very cool Chuck flick. If you like Chuck and you like 70s action flicks with kind of a lame plot you will like this movie. This movie is very watchable and fun.
I was completely deceived with this movie. I thought it was going to be another Norris-cop film, being that Chuck's wearing official cop shades on the cover. Then I thought I was watching Missing...
This is a really enjoyable movie to watch on many levels. One can not help but be inspired to get fit. Schwarzenegger is the central figure and he is fascinating to watch. Not only is his body...
Extras on the DVD version of "Pumping Iron" mostly play like promos for the film and its star, Arnold Schwarzenegger, but there is an odd and compelling new element.
The original is great, but this version is edited for Arnold
The original VHS version (which I have at home) is a fantastic, very dated, documentary about body-building, starring Arnold right before his big break into movies. However, he bought the rights...
After 9 years of Barone mayhem the writers obviously decided on a nice safe and cosy ending to the show. It could be a trap to try and fill the last 40 minutes or so with the best of the best, so...
I was really disappointed with this CD (HBO show)- I was wanting to listen (and remember the great times with friends, weekly HBO, with a bottle of wine . or chosmo's) and the theme show song was...
Unlike the other reviews, I didn't buy this Cd for the theme song to sex in the city, so really didn't care that it wasn't the real one. I bought this Cd for the Trisha Yearwood song, For Only You....
I have written HBO about releasing songs from the series including the theme song. My inside source states licensing issues are to blame. I wished for a soundtrack of around five cds with the...
Recently a book called XXX came out. In the book, there were several intimate portraits of various adult film stars along with lots of information about them. Then HBO made a documentary about the...
Delivery was fast. The last song skipped so had to get replacement. That was easy and fast. The only problem is the last song also skipped in the same place on the new CD. I just kept it.
I liked most of the music from The Sopranos, especially the theme, which isn't on this particular CD, and this had a lot of the music I enjoyed from the series.
Does not really sound like the same music from the Sopranos
Basically the music does not sound the same as the music from the Sopranos series, don't know if it was a different singer, certainly not worth the money
This is my first review of a DVD. Ellen DeGeneres is her usual entertaining self, and happy-go-lucky. The DVD is fun to watch. About the picture on the cover: Ellen obviously did not want to pose...
I liked Ellen DeGeneris in "Here and Now". She can be very funny. But at this point in her career, she seemed to lack originality. There was a lot of stuff about coming out as lesbian and same-sex...
This is worth a rental, but not a purchase.Parts were funny, but she seemed to drag out several parts that just didn't work. True Ellen fans will love it, because its...well Ellen, but I'd rent...
"This is not an easy time for humorists because the government is far funnier than we are." Art Buchwald
What a delightful hour with someone who can be argued as one of the best Humorists/Satirists around today.This DVD was recorded at Miller's performance in Chicago in 2003,and is a joy to...
Even before his veer to the political right, I was a Dennis Miller fan. I watched him all the time on SNL when he was a Reagan hater and saw his live show in college while he was firmly planted...
Not nearly as sharp as the Dennis of old, but not a complete loss. I'd recommend this for a few decent runs and for the sake of ownership. Nothing more. He is tired, jaded, and angry.
Director Michael Lindsay-Hogg is no stranger to films about politics, having made the Nixon era parody Nasty Habits . Here we get a Bill and Hillary Clinton-ish parallel featuring Ed Harris as a...
- It's not a bad DVD, but if you have seen his work before. It's just Lewis so as you know. It has pieces that you really will laugh, but sometimes he is just saying so much about one subject is...
First let me say that I am a big Lewis Black fan. His "Unleashed" DVD was great and he was hilarious on the Daily Show. That being said this DVD was really lacking. Usually his anger is followed...
Just look at the other reviews and it will tell you that this cricket-chirping static snoozefest is horrible. "The liberal goddess," says one. "I had a...
good couples movie for valentines. 3 complete individual stories; watch all 3 or just one. feels like a harlequin come to life. originally for hbo cable so not quite standard tv fare; really quite...
A trio of mini-TV movies based on short stories by outmoded American writers. 'Kansas' is 'The Wizard of Oz' updated to working class New York in 1939, on the eve of war, with Kyra Sedgewick as an...
This was a great movie. It was based on a true story about a women who decided to get an abortion because there was something wrong with her baby. This was before abortion was legal and when word...
Back in the day, before Tom Hanks starred in serious and dramatic roles, he did more comedic roles. This is one of my favorites. Tom Hanks plays a rich boy, snob on the run from a large gambling...
Neither Tom Hanks nor John Candy would have ever claimed this film as one of the best moments in their career. The plot is contrived and drawn out with little smatterings of grin-inducing humor,...
Volunteers is a film I wished that I never saw. It is so bad that I was miserable after finishing it. Was it supposed to be a comedy or an adventure? Throw in bad jokes. Add psychotic John Candy....
This movie should not be viewed with the idea of a serious western. I did, but it didn't take but about 5 minutes to see this was a comedy with a western flavor. Others have given the general story...
This movie features a fine cast, an intriguing story with likable characters, and a very authentic "look." You get to liking Edwards' ungainly school teacher right off the bat, and when Gossett's...
I was very pleased with the feedback I received. I knew when it was going to be shipped and what day it was going to arrive. I had absolutely no problems. Everything arrived intact and on time!
Any time a movie is made about a real person, there will be complaints that certain things are not correct. We all know that events get changed, rearranged or omitted for the sake of moving a story...
This movie is a travesty. Its only real use is that it might make those who know nothing about Josephine Baker want to learn more, but I must stress that it is NOT "Josephine Baker's Story", just...
What can I say, it's a really funny movie. Ellen Barkin does a commendable job channeling a male energy into a woman's body. Also features Jimmy Smits... who seems not to have aged all that much...
Christina Applegate in what I consider her best movie roll. Totally in control by personal motivation, she turns a failing clothing company into a fashion industry great!! As A Teenager!!! Good...
I grew up watching this movie. Rented it. Recorded it off of TV. A decent cliche '90's movie! Fun, original. Wasn't based off a book, old TV show, and wasn't a remake from an old movie. (As...
I first saw this movie when I was pretty young and just recently gave it another viewing. Not impressed! This movie is pretty ridiculous. On top of that, I kept wondering what sort of mother had...
I dont know what other people were expecting. This was supposed to be a popcorn flick not a movie made to win oscars. The story is simple enough Denzel Washington plays Nick Styles, a...
First off, Denzel is the man. No debate there. But this film is flat out one of the worst movies I've seen. Macro Micro of SF pretty much nailed the review, no need to repeat the points. As if...
Ricochet has enough visual style and slickness to make it deserving of big screen status. But somewhere during the proceedings, it careens off track and turns into a predictable cops and robbers...
If you enjoy Indian movies, then this would be a good one. It is part fiction and part non-fiction as Ishi was a real man. I highly recommend this movie. Graham Greene gives an excellent...
The movie goes into the basics but it tell nothing of the facts of why Ishi was ever discovered. The men and women and totally different roles and food preparation was not one of them. Ishi was...
this movie was not some of their best work. It was probably fantastic twenty years ago, but it left a lot to be desired these days. It was kind of bland, very dull, and just not something I would...
An unpleasant, insulting formula exploitation film
This was without a doubt one of the worst movies I have ever seen. To see talented, intelligent actors like Ron Silver, Rebecca DeMornay, and Mariska Hargitay caught up in it was all the more...
The story moves forward well enough and has an element of suspense. The caliber of the acting is satisfactory plus, and the improbability and contrived sequence of events exert limits on the...
More color home movies of baseball players (1925-1961)
The initial joy of seeing baseball players like Lou Gehrig and retired greats like Honus Wagner, Ty Cobb and Cy Young in living color is worn off when you get to volume 2 of "When It Was a Game,"...
This is one of the films that put HBO Films on the map. It is absolutely relevant to today's financial crisis, but is set back in the '80's. It is the truth-based telling of one of the most crazy...
So dissapointing....but if you must have low expectations
This was my thought process. 1)I love Barbarians at the Gate(the book), I love it so much that I'm going to buy the movie. 2)Wow this movie sucks. I must be maturing because for the...
You had to be there. I was and so were thousands of other people. Ross Johnson was and is a tyrant in its truest form. Through the early 80's RJR was deeply involved in investing in other product...
