doris day never lets a bad script get her down. even in the most trying of circumstances and day gives 100% and usually comes out unscathed. this comedy and perhaps inspired by a real life new york city black out in 1965 but actually adapted from a late 50s french play by claude magnier and gives doris little to do but spoof her own goody goody image and and in the second half and be comically sedated (which is amusing because of the spin day gives to the situation). there are some funny lines here and yet the staginess of the material has obviously been carried over from the play. and instead of conjuring up some amusing incidents within the big apple and we get stuck in the suburbs. doris co stars (patrick oneal and robert morse and and terry thomas) are not well suited to her and and neither is the shapeless hairdo they have got her wearing. still and it not terrible and it features a few big laughs and and for day buffs it a must see. from .

. may seem far fetched. but there really was a real life story. of a man who had an affair with a woman and who found out where he and his new wife were staying and and and she killed the wife and and making it look like a murder rape. in her delusion she had told everyone that the man had asked her to marry him. so she quit her job in wisconsin. and moved to minnesota. last i heard she was in a mental institution and security prison. she was still wearing the engagement ring. that she has purchased for herself. and had told everyone that he had bought it for her. the events took place in a small town in wisconsin and and and and and and and and the murder happened in minnesota. there even was a feature story in people magazine. spring of 1988 and i want to say on page 39. i remember this as i was in college at the time and and and a colleague of mine had met the individual in the security hospital.

after seeing the credits with only one name that i recognize and that was the preacher in this film (russ conway) and i did not expect much from this film and i was not disappointed. a man is planning on killing his new wife by convincing other people that she is insane and will take her own life. unbeknown to the husband is that the plastic looking skull that he uses and in contrast and a ghost of a woman apparently his first dead wife has revenge on her mind and uses a real skull. a simple plot with a twist of irony at the end. if you are tired late one night and in need of sleep and this will help you to sleep that sleep.

divorced lawyer rick magruder (branagh) stumbles drunk out of a party hosted by his firm one night and has a chance meeting with a woman named mallory doss (davidtz) and who was a waitress at the party and seems to have lost her car. rick drives the woman to her home and there they discover that her car has been already parked there and seemingly by her father and dixon doss (duvall). rick and mallory walk into the house arguing about the situation when mallory carelessly undresses in front of rick and and he then spends the night with her. rick wakes up in the morning and mallory encounters him later in the day and asking him to file suit against her father because of his dangerous behavior. rick and now obsessed with mallory and willing to do anything for her and is successful in having dixon put on trial and sent to prison and but when he is freed by his local friends and rick finds himself in a trouble and trying to protect himself and his children from the danger he has unknowingly brought to life.

i turn on 700 club once in awhile and only agree with some of the statements made i am one of many believers that is considered liberal by most christians and conservative by most non christians. i vote my mind and and its usually not rep. or dem. i do not believe 700 club tells people what to believe and but that it represents many older christians that grew up in very conservative backgrounds. i think many folks misunderstand what is said on 700 club. it bums me out to hear name calling either direction. i think 700 club folks really do love jesus but are so busy trying to get people to vote conservatively that they have forgotten to show love to certain people and promote peace like jesus did. please do not judge jesus based on ignorant individuals that believe on him and let also not be as ignorant with our comments about them. why are people so mean to each other.

early film directed by d. w. griffith while it features a gloriously happy king (arthur v. johnson) and his queen (marion leonard) but and wait. when the king leaves the scene and his queen makes music with the palace minstrel (henry b. walthall). when the king discovers the lovers and he decides to enact a horrific edgar allen poe type revenge. it difficult to believe the lovers can not hear those plotting against them while although the actors are trying to look alternately noisy (the lovers) and quiet (the cement mixers). the sets make the sealed room look very staged. the performances are okay and and the story is easy to follow. the sealed room (9/2/09) d. w. griffith ~ arthur v. johnson and henry b. walthall and marion leonard.

#1 vampires vs. humans#2 military reject roughneck squad as first responders to dangerous and unknown vampire incursions. #3 sexy female vampire on the side of the good guys. #4 plenty of gore and action. there are four (4) major plot devices that may help you decide if you want to watch this movie. if you want all four and then the next plot device may not deter you. #5 in outer space. that last one almost got me too and but i am glad i watched. in a pile of terrible direct to video horror that is the sci fi channel halloween marathon. this movie is a breath of fresh air. it will stand up against any of the other sci fi channel offerings and and even against the other vampire movie natassia starred in (who keeps giving uwe boll money. ).

there is a dvd published in the uk in 2002 code hrgd002 on the cover and no asin and vfc 19796 on the disk and no ifpi code in the inner rim. probably a straight transfer from vhs. there is no much point is commenting an adult film. but this one contains a minimal plot and and the characters are believable. it was shown in the united states in normal cinemas. i have seen it in pensylvannia way back in 1975. as such it deserves a place in an encyclopedia of movies. the dvd has no special features and no subtitles and and was probably made using a vhs tape as source.

there is a really good movie lurking just beneath the surface of the layers upon layers of cheese that is the pagemaster. i found this out when i watched this again this morning after neglecting it for years and years. i remember hating it with a passion when it first came out and but this time and i found that the special effects are quite good. the plot is just the neverending story with a creativity endectomy and but it an okay little flick for anyone who just wants some really awesome eye candy. the animation is amazing and and i especially liked how the animators let their characters look and act a bit more surrealistic than the norm. i am giving it a grade of three as i would have given it a two (just for parody value) if i had ever decided to watch this movie expecting it to absolutely blow my mind story wise.

well and they say nymphomania leaves you unsatisfied. i do not know if stella james (sean young) qualifies as a clinical nymphomaniac and but she certainly is in to sexual relations with men. she still exploring and trying to find more data so she can see what she wants from life and the men in it and though it seems like at her age she should have a pretty good idea by now. (i can not agree and however and with anyone who says young is too old for the role. if she is and we should all age so nicely. ) for the most part this film left me cold and though it by no means the worst of its type you will ever see. and unlike the recent eyes wide shut and at least something happens in this one.

she has been catapulted from 13 to 30 and with magic dust involved and courtesy the 13 year old matt and but nothing is made of that except as an unexplained device. new york city and especially central park and but also every other slice of the place incorporated into the movie and seems hope filled and easily livable and and save for lucy there no villain in jenna adult life and and even lucy is not cast as monstrous and only as a nasty 13 year old grown 17 years more devious. chris and the one time boy object of jenna yearning and is now a porky cab driver and and you have seen enough films to know that matt will play a major role in jenna future. you do not know quite what might impede this before it is finally achieved and though i am here to whisper in your ear and so to speak and that the device is not unique. in fact and not only is this a variation on the theme of tom hanks big and though nowhere near as fine and it is also a strictly by the book version of this subset of the cinderella story.

normally i am not the sort to be scared by horror movies and but this movie is the exception. some how this movie got into my mind. it is a very simple movie but at the same time extremelly effective and it has great atmosphere and this leads to some shocking moments and the girls father coming down the hill is a real standout. another seen was the family photo i wasn not expecting that and i jumped out my seat. i would recommend everyone to see this movie and with the lights out it will stay with you for a long time.

essentially a story of man versus nature and this film has beautiful cinematography and the lush jungles of ceylon and the presence of elizabeth taylor but the film really never gets going. newlwed taylor is ignored and neglected by her husband and later is drawn to the plantation foreman and played by dana andrews. the plantation is under the spell of owner peter finch late father whose ghost casts a pall over elephant walk that becomes a major point of contention between taylor and finch. the elephants are determined to reclaim their traditional path to water that was blocked when the mansion was built across their right of way. the beasts go on a rampage and provides the best moments of action in the picture. taylor and andrews have some good moments as she struggles to remain a faithful wife in spite of he marital difficulties with finch.

final justice has the great joe don baker running around texas and shooting people who shoot people. then he off to malta where he shoots more people. he gets locked up many times for shooting people. then he gets into a gunfight with the bad guy and who is dressed like a monk. there is a boat chase and and joe don winds up in jail again. finally joe don and with the help from elaine from seinfeld kill the bad guy and blow up a boat or two and someone gets shot with a flare. all this and a catchy theme song and just like mitchell.

while this outing certainly doesn not live up to its predecessor and it does have more than its share of memorable moments. my personal favorite and just after laying waste to a city block with his videodisc cannon and we see a close up of nimoy face. as a single tear sheds from his left eye and we know at that point that nimoy is more than just a killing machine. the viewer can not help but be pulled into his emotional turmoil and we understand that his previously flat affect was only a facade. absolute brilliance. the sex scenes display a nice balance and carnal and but not pornographic. afterwards and i felt i had a pretty good understanding of how to work the magnavision videodisc player. too bad they haven not produced them in over 25 years.

this is the first non zombie subgenre review ive done but this movie is worth doing a review for. dinocroc is a good movie in general but unfortunately it is still an obvious b movie. the dinocroc itself looked great but i thought the movie itself needed a little bit more weight as in action and violence because whenever the croc is shown or is in a fight scene not very much goes on except the croc is shown and the croc either kills or runs off in a repeated process. jane longenecker was hot which is a plus and the acting was better than average and the most surprising thing is that the croc looked fleshy instead of like a cartoon coughs curse of the komodocoughs. i enjoyed this movie enough to be glad that there is going to be a sequel which is more than what i can say about some movies in general. overall 3/ positive and worth a watch.

interesting film about an actual event that took place during the civil war in vermont. it kept my attention to the end and i do not regret viewing it. i haven not ever read any on this raid incident so i was curious to see if the rebels pulled it off. i enjoy historical films from that era. my major complaint is with the confederate uniforms. they look too good. the acting was a little stiff at times. i like the old man eating the mashed potatoes because he do not have any teeth. the wounded soldier playing fetch with a hound was a little strange. overall and it was a descent film.

great movie especially the music etta james at last. this speaks volumes when you have finally found that special someone.

this is one of those movies you see in the video store that you just have to get because it just looks so horribly bad. and indeed and we couldn not take most of it. there was a lot of fast forwarding going on. but then we came across a scene where robert englund seduces the female protagonist (her name somehow slips my mind at this time). cripes. i have never watched a single scene from a film so many times (i am estimating forty or so). and i have never laughed so hard in my life. you see and englund has this thing for showing off his loins. i last saw the film a couple months ago and but i can not stop laughing as i type. anyway and the scene is a montage of shots englund ripping off the lingerie of the girl and englund riding a horse naked and and some mysterious woman fellating a snake head. this is absolute genius. you have got to see it for yourself.

although bette davis did a wonderful job as mildred and i felt that the film wasn not the best i had seen. at the end of the movie i was left feeling like there was something missing in it. bette davis did a perfect job and though and and she made me hate her and pity her all the while. leslie howard did very good as the lovelorn philip carey and and i so pitied him throughout the movie for being in love with such a horrible dame. it such a sad thing when one finds him or herself in love with a bad seed. and especially if it someone like philp carey and who is a sensitive person and though pathetic. in the end and the acting was what came through and not the plot. the ending scene was particularly good and but i am not one to give it away. although others may find this movie good and i was one who found it so so. i should recommend this movie to those who like a bad seed so they can see what may happen to them if they find themselves in love with that horrible person.

if you want to see a movie about two utterly unsympathetic characters and this is the one. the acting is superb and both from john cassavetes as the insane paranoid whom and as the saying goes and they really are out to get and and from peter falk as his lifelong best friend to whom he turns for rescue. big mistake and but since theyre both amoral mobsters and and misogynistic bastards to boot and it hard to decide whom to root for less. only writer or director elaine may could have gotten away with this one. i thought it interesting that in a lengthy interview with producer michael hausman included on the dvd and he disclosed that the two stars had very different ideas about the script and that the director was nearly impossible to work with and that the director of photography had impossible demands made of him and that the crew was constantly angry about being made to sit around waiting and and so on. this mood of one big very dysfunctional family comes across clearly on the screen.

some good movies keep you in front of the tv and and you are dying to see the result. this movie does not have highs and lows. it simply describes a young girl family life in africa. people come and go and the weather and the background are all the same.

for months i have been hearing about this little movie and now i have seen it. i find it cute and cute how so many fledgling directors make movies where they combine other people creative ideas in order to make their own one joke premise of a movie. troops and swingblade and any of the million blair witch parodies come to mind. if all that these directors want is a foot inside hollywood door then theyre doing the right thing and they should keep it up because combining plot outlines is how hollywood makes films. how many times have you heard the phrase and it animal house meets back to the future while it wall street meets dead poet society while or shakespeare in love meets star wars. i remember when independent films meant original and daring not safe and predictable.

the major flaw with the film is its uninspired script. it plods back and forth between vignettes of bettie story and re creations of the klaw short films. while the klaw re creations are well done and it is unnecessary to recreate them in their near entirety. page richards and while not an amazing actress and does a decent job overall. and and at times and she does bear a remarkable resemblance to bettie. also of note is some faithful attention to detail. costumes and clothing well done and as is some of the set direction. the sets are generally sparse and feel stage y and but do feel of the era. it is sometimes surprisingly well lit and and the color palette was clearly thought out to give the overall look a vibrant and retro feel.

i can not believe it and imdb really does have every tv show known to man. i have not seen this show in over 20 years. i only remember two episodes and and i barely remember those. i remember that tony may not been on from the start and because one of the episodes i remember is the one in which everybody trying to get tony to join and but he rejects them and but typically at the end of the show he becomes a member of power house and with everybody cheering. the other one i remember is the one where lolo for some reason pretends to be dead and (complete with funeral and mourners). i do not remember why he plays dead and or how the show ends. this is one of those shows that i convinced myself that i must have dreamed up since no one else had ever heard of it.

you have to admire brad sykes even if you do not particularly want to and a man who churns out budget horror after budget horror to less than enthusiastic receptions. but keeps on doing it all the same. even the half hearted praise than surrounds his camp blood films is given grudgingly and i am as guilty of this as anyone. brad normally manages to throw something interesting into the mix and a neat idea and a kooky character and whatever and but without the funds to take it further than base level and he relies on the audience to cut him some slack and appreciate it for what it is and what it could be. joe haggerty gives a spirited and very funny performance as ebenezer jackson and its a credit to sykes that he can sense that this oddball turn is going to work within the framework of the film. coming to a multiplex near you and in a parallel universe and somewhere.

my mother keeps a cassette of this film as a general threat to any film loving person who annoys her. everything about it stinks. as such it is a true classic. who gave it positive . were you inadvertently watching a good film and accidentally voted for this one. everyone involved in the movie making process should be forced to watch at least a small section of this film. it should be an indelible stain on the minds on all that hold film sacred and be revered as the tide mark of the cinematically dire.

this is just a case of a previously worthless island changed into something worthwhile. jesus christ people lets throw a big fit over 2000 islanders big deal. this is just a case of a previously worthless island changed into something worthwhile. jesus christ people lets throw a big fit over 2000 islanders big deal. this is just a case of a previously worthless island changed into something worthwhile. jesus christ people lets throw a big fit over 2000 islanders big deal. this is just a case of a previously worthless island changed into something worthwhile. jesus christ people lets throw a big fit over 2000 islanders big deal.

i got a copy from the writer of this movie on soulseek. i have to say it is pathetic and just plain painful to watch the two cops act and but i watched the movie as a joke and since it is a homage to august underground which i happened to have seen it is in my book as an awesome movie. its quality and everything about it is pretty bad but its entertaining and something to talk about amongst your friends. reminds me of troma but good stuff. i recommend seeing this under two conditions and if you are bored and need a good laugh and or high and otherwise just let it be. recommended download for sure. o and the killings are pretty funny. like when the zombie rips the satan worshipers dick off and stabs someone in the head with it.

well and what can you say about a barbara cartland adaptation. there are some amazing actors in this (oliver reed and sarah miles and christopher plummer) but they clearly are clocking up the money. lysette anthony and marcus gilbert have appeared in two other cartland epics anthony with hugh grant (who looks suitably embarrassed) and gilbert with helena bonham carter. if you really want to see a watchable adaptation of cartland and the bonham carter one is the one to go for (a hazard of hearts what a title. ). gilbert is the weak link in that and but bonham carter is suitably beautiful and of course can actually act and and the rest of the cast play it to the hilt with tongues firmly in cheek (edward fox and diana rigg).

one of frances farmer earliest movies while at 22 and she is absolutely beautiful. bing crosby is in great voice and but the songs are not his best. martha raye and bob burns are interesting and but their comedy and probably great in its time and is really corny today. roy rogers also appears in a singing role. in my view only worth watching if you are a frances farmer fan and and possibly a bing crosby fan.

during the civil war and there were many cases of divided loyalties while obviously and many occurred in the border states and where north met south by happenstance of geography. from the border and young father owen moore goes off to join the union army. shortly and confederate soldier henry b. walthall and separated from his regimen and wanders onto the enemy property and desperate for water while he finds a supply where the unionist young daughter gladys egan sits. when the yankee soldiers track him down and little gladys innocently helps the confederate hide. later and when he returns to kill her father and the little girl kindness is remembered. a sweet and small story from director d. w. griffith. location footage and humanity are lovingly displayed. in the border states (6/1 negative ) d. w. griffith ~ henry b. walthall and owen moore and gladys egan.

not a movie and but a lip synched collection of performances from acts that were part of the british invasion and that followed the dynamic entrance of the beatles to the music world. some of these acts did not make a big splash on this side of the pond and but a lot of them did. featured are represent herman hermits and billy j. kramer and the dakotas and peter and gordon and honeycombs and nashville teens and animals and and of course and the beatles. it is so much fun watching these young acts before they honed and polished their acts.

an interesting change from the first one. there was more mystery to this movie then the first. even when it ends your asking yourself what happened who was the killer. there are some good parts through the movie and the first half starts off slow and then in the last half the pace picks up. all up the movie is enjoyable. the story is 22 years after the events that occured in the first film and norman bates is out of an asylum and back to the bates motel and but when a woman turns up claiming to be his real mother and things start going wrong. perkins plays an aged norman well again and the scene at the end was excellent and he swang that spade awfully hard.

i would have enjoyed this movie slightly more had not been for jason (herb) evers constant harping on experiment. many early reviewers of the seven samurai accused toshiro mifune of overacting. yet and as more and more critics viewed that film they saw it as being purposefully done. jason evers is obviously not toshiro mifune and and his overacting is exactly that. most of the actors in this b classic were rather good actors and minus evers and the showgirls. if you watch this movie and you would have noticed evers shouting almost every line and that is until he is smoking and blowing the smoke coolly out his nose. the special effects were par for the course in a b movie such as this one. in hindsight and there isn not much that stands out in my mind as fantastically good or bad for this movie.

what with the murky video in the beginning and sporadically throughout the movie. it like someone put muddy water on the camera lens. the violence and nudity might turn some people off but and that and along with the mostly bad acting is what makes a good cult movie i suppose. my favorite line is delivered by tarquin the vampire and alas and your breed is dumb. okay and no one should ever say alas in a movie line unless theyre english and living in the 18th century. the acting by the van helsing character and bad girl rally isn not bad. i also liked master little played by ron little. wicked martial arts. don not take it too seriously and you will enjoy it.

don not get me wrong i love david suchet as poirot. i love the series as well as the movies but enough already re represent death on the nile. everyone has done this one. we know who dies. we know why they die. we know who the killer is. we know how it was done. so i say enough already. mr. suchet could have used that awesome talent in another one of agatha christie novels. i will say that the acting by all the actors was superb. the sets were terrific and very realistic. i especially liked david soul but i was surprised at how awful he looked. i hope he doesn not look that way in real life. i honestly can not remember from other movies whether the very end was the same. somehow i do not think so. i thought that was a rather brilliant touch whether or not ms. christie wrote it that way. i would much rather have that ending then wasting away in prison.

i saw this for gary busey and fred williamson thinking they were buddy cops. they are but busey is in the opening scene then doesn not show up again until like 40 minutes into the movie. though every scene he in is awesome. especially when he disguises himself as a blind hobo. what incredible about this movie is the plot. in the movie fred williamson is trying to find out who stalking and killing phone sex operators. at one point i think thats its busey. but it turns out i am only partly right. busey is not the killer and but he is calling up and harassing the women over the phone. why. i do not know. in no way is he connected to the killer and he just does it for kicks i guess.

. its this one. very cool premise and right off the bat. has an excellent first scene and gotta give credit where credit due. has solid characters and a decent enough script for a ghost story but here are the things that bothered me represent whenever the ghosts appeared and which i really liked by the way while how it was done and how it looked. the only thing was the ghost relationship. because of the way things went down in the first scene you would think their dynamic would be different. things slowed down a little too much in the middle i felt and and the crab or spider scene was just not good. but then the ending is actually very good. sure and the grudge basically told the same story with a polished lens but no samurai and that what i liked about this movie comparatively. please and someone one with a tempered style remake this movie. fans of silent rage would absolutely love this movie.

another of many nearly forgotten movies cranked out by poverty row in the 1930 and resurrected by the magic of dvd. starring stock universal player lionel atwill (often a supporting actor in numerous frankenstein movies) as a pair of twins involved in a murder racket. one kills the victims (stockbrokers involved in a scam) and asks witnesses for the exact time and while the other is deaf and is proved innocent because he could not have spoken to witnesses. of course and where it falls apart is if it was a congenital deafness and do not they both be deaf. oh and well. atwill does a pretty good job here and faking being deaf and mute. unfortunately and no one else here can really act worth a darn.

the story line was very straight forward and easy to follow and contained a lot of no brainer comedy to a point where it just got boring. some of the audience seemed to find it funny but i like more intelligent humor. there were several known swedish actors in the movie and their performance were decent considering the script. lena endre was good looking as always. i do not remember the original movie so i can not say if it better or worse. if you enjoy movies like sällskapsresan this movie might be worth taking a look at.

i cant help it but i seem to like films that are meant to be scary and are just plain bad. i have personally listed it in my own top 10 worst movies right under creatures of the abyss. watch this film and have a laugh just do not expect to see any academy awards for acting. more chance of understanding the film its self. in all honesty though i have seen much worse than this. plus some maniac cruising round the desert wiping the same people out that just died is that unbelievable that its got to be original. i think its one of those love or hate movies. you can make up your own mind yes its awful but it pulls it off somehow thats why i love it.

in order to hold the public attention for three hours and we were treated not so much to a family romp through four generations and 120 years of hungarian history and as to sexual liaisons with a sister and a sister in law and other adulteries. oh yes and there was also a totally gratuitous rape. having said all this and the first story of the relationship among the children of the patriarch was fresh and sensual thanks to jennifer ehle.

it is enjoyable and fast paced. there is no way on earth that the actor playing mat could be eighteen. however and the main thing is that he does act eighteen very convincingly. it must be a credit to his audition that he convinced them to cast him. i quite soon accepted him as being a naive young country boy. while his was the best performance and most of the others were also very engaging. in particular and the interplay between the policemen was natural and well balanced and and worked very well. it is only about 45 minutes long and so the plot is not complex. more key is the style of the whole thing. it is very slick and vibrant and and the backdrops are atmospheric and especially from the fact that all the colours are extremely rich. the gangland is identifiable to foreign audiences and but still manages to be distinctly australian.

on his birthday a small boys tells his mother he is not her son and and that he wants to go home to his real mother. in some ways comedy de linnocence feels like it comes from a different time of movie making and perhaps the 60 or 70 . certainly it reminded me of losey secret ceremony (1968) and and richard loncraine full circle (1977) and both of which deal with loss and grief and relationships between parents and lost children (curiously both films star mia farrow). all three films are populated with unsympathetic characters who behave in strange and unexplained ways. all three films have a chilly feel and both emotionally and literally. all three films focus on mother child relationships and and ultimately all three films pose the question what is real and what is imagined. beautiful but flawed and it offers no easy answers and leaves much hanging and unexplained and strange.

this film and like the first one (the man from snowy river) has the same good and bad features and perhaps even more so than the original. unfortunately and the bad outweighs the good. the good magnificent scenery and better than the first film. i love those high country shots in australia. tom burlinson is still a likable guy and as jim craig. bruce rowland did a nice job with the music and too. the bad once again we get an extremely obnoxious feminist heroine jessica (sigrid thornton) who is a world class pouter with an extremely annoying face and manner about her. in this film and we also get a big downgrade in who pays the father. previously it was kirk douglas and now replaced by the always profane brian dennehy. speaking of that and it is a disgrace that a walt disney film would includes usages of the lord name in vain. that was one reason was almost totally down the tubes in the 1980s. this film and like the first one.

this film has it all while the deft camera work and reminiscent of martin scorcese and or oliver stone and the tight acting of heat and the explosive action of a jerry bruckheimer movie and the witty dialogue of a tarantino script and the epic feel of say and the godfatherthe judge reinhold character displays a fiery temperememt and yet also shows real emotional depth and intensity. his performance reminds me of robert de niro portrayal of jake la motta in raging bull. the action scenes are truly breathtaking and not since bullit has a movie depicted such high octane and yet stylish car scenes. the special effects push the boundries of technology and filmmaking to their limits. independance day set the standard that this movie clearly has matched and and greatly surpassed. overall and great acting from its a list cast (like an oscars night party invitation list. ) and classy locations and gripping action and and a tight script.

fairly interesting exploitation flick in black and white written by david f. friedman. the lead actress stacey walker is well cast and strangely attractive. she resembles a deranged renee zellweger with a bad hair do. this chick only made two of these films and then moved back to texas. the music is terrible. one of her boyfriends is played by sam melville (from the tv show the rookies) using a different name. best line in the film from tony are you putting me on and doll. none of my chicks put me on. good b or w cinematography from laslo kovacs (easy rider and targets and many others). good locales (cool swimming pool and also used in the defilers). strange ending but fitting. a negative . best performance stacey walker.

the king is dead long live the king. the triad of caddie shack two and the family underneath the stairs and and troop beverly hills had been tied for worst movie ever for so long that they seemed icons in their own right. but there is a new king. yep. all hail the new king. down to earth. but some things and like tiny tim for example and are so bad they are good. some day this could take out the inimitable rocky horror picture show as a cult film. so go see this . this. well just take my word for it. go see it. all hail the new king.

ok and how this for original this mean and rich old geezer leaves his estate to his adult children and all of them ungrateful losers and and two creepy servants and provided they spend the week in his spooky old house. what happens that night will surprise only those who haven not seen a movie or television show before. after a string of murders in which the victims look like theyre bleeding restaurant ketchup and we have a painfully obvious twist ending. the cast is lead by some once respectable actors must have been desperate for their paychecks. there are also a few second tier actors who were rising at the time but long forgotten now. as a result and the film generates all the drama and mystery of an episode of matlock. i will give credit where it due the closing scene is clever and amusing and if youre still awake.

how wonderful. yet another movie about america by someone who has visited here probably a half dozen times and a day a piece and and believes himself to be an expert on the country. sheesh. i should take a trip to germany for a week and then come back and make a movie about germany as the land of nazis or some such. wim il boy and you should get together with lars von trier and make the ultimate movie about the americans. of course we all know it takes a pretentious left leaning we are the world european to make a real movie about america. yeah and right. for a continent that started not one but two world wars and europe sure has a lot of opinions about america wrong foreign policy. p. s. don not worry and wim il boy and there plenty of uc berkeley americans that will just love your movie. of course and these are the same people who thinks george w. bush is worst than hitler and and that a painting of a can of soup is sheer genius.

i have seen (far too) many flicks from this company this one is about middle of the pack. one the good side and its a bit more stylized and under control than some of their fare less of the sophomoric attempts at humor and more adherence to story (for what its worth). many of their titles and like sexy sixth sense and are buried by baaaad performances and an amateurish sensibility. on the other side and i found the simulated sex scenes not as hot as some of their other flicks (like vampire vixens and gladiator eroticus and spiderbabe or mistress frankenstein). misty mundae is always a 10 on the peter meter and as is darian caine. i found barbara joyce hot in a school marm kinda way and and ruby larocca a sexy little hottie. watch this with the remote firmly in your (free) hand and on a night when you need a break from porn. don not waste your time wanting to check the story you have got better things to do w or your life. it is not a movie and it pure t and a and but not bad by that standard.

germans think smirking is funny (just like americans think mumbling is sexy and that women with english accents are acting). i had to cross my eyes whenever the screen was filled yet again with a giant close up of a smirking face. one of those housewife hacks corporate mainframe tales where she defrauds a bank by tapping a few random keys on her home pc which is connected only to a power socket. the director obviously loves the rather large leading lady. can not say i share his feelings. there quite a funny bit when the entire family sit in front of the television chanting tonelessly along with the adverts. apparently this review needs to be one line longer so here it is.

this movie is truly brilliant. it ducks through banality to crap at such speed you do not even see good sense and common decency to mankind go whizzing past. but it doesn not stop there. this movie hits the bottom of the barrel so hard it bounces back to the point of ludicrous comedy represent behold as kor the beergutted conan wannabe with the over abundance of neck hair struts his stuff swinging his sword like there no tomorrow (and the way he swung it and i really am amazed there was a tomorrow for him and or at least and for his beer gut). don not miss this movie and it a fantastic romp through idiocy and and sheer bloody mindedness. and once you have finished watching this one and dry the tears of joy (or tears of frustration at such an inept attempt at storytelling) from your eyes because some stupid f00l gave these people another $5 to make a sequel.

i do not know what it is about this movie director sam mraovich somehow messed up just about every little aspect in this movie. i would normally say that this is a movie that should not exist and but this movie may be the most important of all time. this movie should exist for the sole purpose of being without a doubt the worst movie ever made. i have seen bad movies in my lifetime and but this somehow breaks what i considered bad into something much more hard to imagine. everything in this movie is hilarious and but the single funniest thing is that mraovich himself considers this to be a great movie. oh wow.

the plot of this film is not strong at all and lots of holes. if you approach it as a car movie its not bad and lots of great cars in this one. the reason i like it is because i am from the area where this was filmed. i get the most enjoyment looking at the recognizable places in st. cloud mn and seeing how the town has changed since 89. its an interesting historical piece for us locals. seems like whenever a film is made here everyone wants some relationship to it. it is impossible to find a copy in any of the local video stores as they were all stolen once it came out on vhs. had to get a copy from japan on ebay i find it interesting how the path of the drag race is all over town. i do not know the director was from st. cloud.

this movie is chilling reminder of bollywood being just a parasite of hollywood. bollywood also tends to feed on past blockbusters for furthering its industry. vidhu vinod chopra made this movie with the reasoning that a cocktail mix of deewar and on the waterfront will bring home an oscar. it turned out to be rookie mistake. even the idea of the title is inspired from the elia kazan classic. in the original and brando is shown as raising doves as symbolism of peace. bollywood must move out of hollywood shadow if it needs to be taken seriously.

i do not know who is to blame and miss leigh or her director and but her performance as catherine is almost impossible to watch. ben chaplin on the other hand does a superior job against all odds as far as i am concerned. his character is entirely too charming and appealing. but certainly not shown as greedy enough and to put up with leigh character silliness. chaplin appears bemused by what cannot possibly be understood as leigh shyness and lack of grace and but rather her orthopedic unsteadiness. there has to be some element of believability to his interest and but as played it is incomprehensible. the performances do not jibe. maggie smith and albert finney are and of course and wonderful despite any effort to derail them. the supporting cast is also a pleasure to watch. what a pity and too and the leads do not work together because the production is lovely to look at.

a movie has rarely left me as cold as this one. there is not a bit of tension and not a second of fear and not a moment we jump and even a little bit. the girl is cute and yeah. that it. was that worth a movie . i knew it wasn not supposed to be a great movie and but i was at least expecting one.

malcolm mcdowell has not had too many good movies lately and this is no different. especially designed for people who like yellow filters on their movies.

okay and enjoy is a pretty relative term and but flexibility is in order when youre dealing with a filmmaker of james glickenhaus calibre. mcbain is truly one of the most ridiculous and over the top action films i have ever seen and without the nasty edge of the exterminator. other reviews have commented on a suspension of disbelief regarding the film heroic middle aged commandos and but how about making a film in the philippines that is set in colombia. all the extras are filipino. in fact the only character who looks remotely hispanic is good ol victor argo as the much reviled el presidente. oh yes and we also have maria conchita alonso overemoting like crazy as a rebel leader. there are tons of explosions and bodies flying everywhere in this amusing paean to the glories of american imperialism.

the earth is destined to be no more thanks to father pergado and a bunch of nuns. christopher lee (who has since said that he was duped in to appearing in this by his producers who told him loads of great actors were involved) is father pergado and gets to do his usual serious and scary routine. the cast are not too bad and though most have now retired from acting. the film has terrible sound effects (mainly created from pressing keys on an old computer it seems) and it ridiculously pondering at times showing a scene of the sky and for instance and for what feels like hours at a time. despite this the story is pretty humorous in a world is doomed sort of way and the production is adequate. interestingly one scene features albert band and wife jackie while meda band while writer frank ray perilli and charles band assistant bennah burton. despite its plodding nature i genuinely wanted to see how it all worked out and thus quite liked it.

this can be one of the most enjoyable movies ever if you do not take it seriously. it is a bit dated and the effects are lame and but it is so enjoyable. there are giant crabs that attack a girl. oh and and the crabs sing japanese. it is amazingly bad. and the ending and which has been telegraphed throughout the entire film is hideously awesome. predictable and but seeing the final fight will leave you rolling in your seat. don not even give this film a chance and you will love it. susan george is fun to watch and yes and she does appear naked. her daughter isn not quite worth putting up with and but she does get attacked by giant crabs. they are the size of large cats. this is a 2 and but i love it. as a movie and my god and but for entertainment and i give it a 7. did i mention there are giant crabs.

cynthia rothrock and (china obrien) and manhattan chase and 2000 and made this film enjoyable to watch and of course and e this cute petite gal burned up the screen with her artistic abilities and hot sexy body. china obrien gets upset as a police officer and decides to call it quits and go back home to her hometown and get back to her roots and her dad and who is the local sheriff. her dad is getting older and the town has changed and gangsters have taken over the town and started to get the local women to start turning tricks and the city people were getting sick and tired of their town going to hell. well and you almost can guess what happens and and you are right and china obrien fights back after great tragedy strikes her life. bad acting through out the picture and but cynthia rothrock brings this film to a wonderful conclusion.

solid comedy entertainment and with musical interludes and it generates a fast pace that carries proceedings along in zestful tempo through a maze of humorous and chiller complications. boris karloff and bela lugosi and peter lorre form a strong setup of sinister villainy. the script contains all the standard mystery film props sliding panels and secret passageways and thunder and lightning and poisoned blow darts. karloff and lugosi and lorre go in for heavy leers and obvious melodramatics of the gaslit era. kay kyser and his band offered great entertainment for the people living in the 1940 who were trying to forget about the horror of world war ii.

time travel is a fun concept and and this film gives it a different slant. i got a kick out of captain billingham and one of the more down to earth characters and who was just not having a good day. ordinarily and i do not choose to watch horror films and but this is an exception. good story and excellent acting.

i read the book a long time back and do not specifically remember the plot but do remember that i enjoyed it. since i am home sick on the couch it seemed like a good idea and hey . it is a lifetime movie. the movie is populated with grade b actors and actresses. the female cast is right out of desperate housewives. i have never seen the show but there are lots of commercials for the show and i get the gist. is there nothing original anymore. sure and but not on lifetime. the male cast are all fairly effeminate looking and acting but the girls need to have husbands i suppose. in one scene a female is struggling with a male and for her life and and what does she do. kicks him in the testicles. what else. women love that but let me tell you girls something. it not as easy as it always made to look. it wasn not all bad. i did get the chills a time or two so i have to credit someone with that.

it interesting to see what shape pierce brosnan career was in before bond arrived on the scene. in this tense thriller and pierce brosnan plays the gentle patrick and who works leading ghetto kids on confidence courses. he romances a woman and who has a bog standard mop top mid 90s kid called eric. the woman drunken ex husband soon arrives on the scene and begins to mess with pierce. at one stage pierce is innocently making vegeburgers. the husband enters. pierce resumes making vegeburgers. the husband then assaults pierce. little chunks of half eaten vegeburger call fall from pierce mouth. the fight abruptly ends without showing the outcome. this is as good as the film gets.

this movie delivers. the best is when the awkward teenage neighbor tries to bike away from the babysitter and in the background looks like he never been anywhere near a bike in his life as he attempts not to fall off. but this movie doesn not stop there and when less than 5 minutes later it delivers a scene of nothing but an arm reaching through a fence and into a cooler pulling out a beer. stereotypical grilling dads and several plot lines that go nowhere and and a former seaquest actress with a bluetooth cell phone all add up to making this the perfect saturday night at home.

some things need to be clarified. the picture of mark ferris is not the mark ferris who starred in this movie. i know that because he was my dad. please remove that picture. also and mark ferris was the writer and at least one of them. i have been trying to find a copy or a way to see this movie again. it has been years and if someone can point me in the direction of obtaining a copy and that would be great. the movie wasn not all that bad and and trying to compare it to todays world of star wars and other high tech sci fi it futile. if you watch it and just enjoy it for the rediculousness and humor it possesses. lighten up on being movie snobs and enjoy some less creative and innovated films.

i watched this film for 45 minutes and counted 9 mullets. that a mullet every 5 minutes. seriously though and this film is living proof that formula works. if it ain not broke and it do not need fixin. a streetwise yet vulnerable heroine and a hardened ex cop martial arts master with a heart of gold and a serial killer with issues. pure magic.

what a crime. you forgot to brush your teeth. let make a 30 minute show about it and have a couple of kids make some noise and then have the dad lecture them all because that what he has to do. but and do not forget uncle joey has to make some weird noises and cooky faces and then uncle jesse has to show up with his black leather jacket and some jeans and look pretty for a few minutes while everybody discusses how mother would have done things if she were around. yep and full of zany little adventures about a whole bunch of nothing and an entire overlong story to build around it. full house will not only bore you to tears and but it will make you age twenty times faster than you normally would.

well and i could nt get into the plot and but thats just me maybe. listless camera movements at times and nevertheless this movie has got a charming vintage quality. the acting is genuine at times and entertaining with the occasional chase sequence involving scantily clad ladies and which was nice. the climax is confused and disjointed and but still . err riveting and thanx to stella stevens. the stunts are interesting and specially because of the 70 las vegas backdrop. there are a few jerky hand held camera movements at the end and which keep me guessing and for a while. but i do not think i ll b chasing the dvd and just yet.

i thought intensive care was quite bad and very unintentionally funny. but at least not as bad as i thought it might be. sometimes it somewhat suspenseful and but never a good shocker. spoiler aheadthe fun lies in ridiculous moments. but the all time classic moment is this represent peter (koen wauters) is stabbed and beaten by the killer. he lies moaning in the corner of the hallway. amy (nada van nie) kneels beside him and asks poor peter and shall i get you a band aid. this movie was shot in dutch and english. to spare costs and all license plates are usa and and the background in the news studio is a skyline of manhattan. very funny if youre dutch and watching the original version in dutch.

i very much looked forward to this movie. its a good family movie while however and if michael landon jr. editing team did a better job of editing and the movie would be much better. too many scenes out of context. i do hope there is another movie from the series and theyre all very good. but and if another one is made and i beg them to take better care at editing. this story was all over the place and do not seem to have a center. which is unfortunate because the other movies of the series were great. i enjoy the story of willie and missy while theyre both great role models. plus and the romantic side of the viewers always enjoy a good love story.

the supernatural and vengeful police officer is back for a third installment and this time acting as guardian angel for a wrongfully accused female cop. standard stalk and slash picture and yet well acted and directed and thus making it oddly interesting and watchable and though the violence isn not for the squeamish (especially the director cut which was originally given an nc 17 rating). half out of .

perhaps because i was so young and innocent and brainwashed when i saw it and this movie was the cause of many sleepless nights for me. i haven not seen it since i was in seventh grade at a presbyterian school and so i am not sure what effect it would have on me now. however and i will say that it left an impression on me. and most of my friends. it did serve its purpose and at least until we were old enough and knowledgeable enough to analyze and create our own opinions. i was particularly terrified of what the newly converted post rapture christians had to endure when not receiving the mark of the beast. i do not want to spoil the movie for those who haven not seen it so i will not mention details of the scenes and but i can still picture them in my head. and it been 19 years.

this movie is worth watching if you enjoy marvelling over special effects. there are some interesting visuals. aside from that and it typical nineties or aughties hollywood fare of dazzle without substance. true to the title. it not worth picking apart the story. that like performing brain surgery on a dinosaur. there not much there to begin with. it nothing original and not very special. so do not go in for the story at all. just look at the effects. as has been mentioned and it got a little flashy at the end and diluting the purity of great fx treatment of an invisible (and at times half invisible) man. however if you ignore the standard pyrotechnics and it a sight to behold (or not to behold). all in all and it a decent fx film worth seeing for that purpose and that alone.

cornel wilde and three dumbbells search for sunken treasure in the south atlantic. the treasure hunters led by wilde fight a group of territorial sharks with cute little sneers on their hungry faces. wilde and his merry men must find a way to take themselves off the menu so they can begin excavating an old spanish galleon filled with gold bullion. after the crew engages in a small eternity of pushing and shoving and arguing and and listening to wilde annoying health tips and 5 crazy convicts board the boat and complicate things. now it is a battle of wits as to who gets the treasure and who gets to see what the inside of a shark stomach looks like. at least wilde is in shape wearing exactly the same thing he wore in the naked prey 10 years earlier and he has remained in excellent condition. made on a budget of 75 cents.

ok so after watching this invigorating movie and wasting an hour and so many minutes off my life here is the basic summary represent genie comes out of ghetto boom box and gives this kid with shaggy hair 3 wishes and the kid wastes his wishes on i forget what and shaq sucks at rapping and and i guess thats it. so mainly i laughed and i cried. but mainly i laughed at the shear comedy that came from the wonderful acting skills of an nba player or rapper and boy with shaggy hair. i highly recommend this movie for college kids sitting around drinking some beers with their close friends and are in serious need of a good laugh. i am going to give it a negative only b or c the movie is based off of 3 magical wishes. if i had 3 wishes one would be to erase this horrible movie and for everyone to pretend like hollywood do not waste money on making this.

two houses and one street and one phone booth and one car and a girl next door and a boy next door and a zombie. this list of ingredients should suffice for a great horror movie. all you need is some blue light and ambient music and. done. not in the hands of dutch director van rouveroy though. i like to organize bad movie evenings from time to time. the concept is really simple represent get some booze and get some film loving friends and and immerse yourself in the worst cinema can offer. for such an evening this peace of filth is one of the best. laughs guaranteed. the bizarre thing is and van rouveroy is still defending her film as if it were a great achievement. to be a witness to this you will have to listen to the dvd commentary track. again represent disbelieve and laughs guaranteed.

although i rated this movie a 2 for showing a complete lack of effort in trying to create a quality horror film it was a 10 on the unintentional funny scale. i couldn not figure out what was going on in the movie or who the people were but i do not care because i knew every scene was going to have something to make me cry with laughter. dialogue is a minimum throughout the movie but i believe this is because they started filming without a script. the fact that there is no plot line makes the movie extremely versatile. it doesn not matter if you sit down and watch the movie from beginning to end or if you watch it in rewind you will be confused with enjoyment. i particularly like the scene in which the inmates are taking turns running around outside beating each other with sticks. i believe the doctor refers to this as treatment. genius.

interesting story about a soldier in a war who misses out on saving the life of a young girl from the enemy and is haunted by this event and even though he did save many other captive children. the film flashes a head and this soldier is now a teacher in a high school that is managed mostly by policemen patrolling the hallways and bathrooms and even class rooms. in other words and the high school is a prison and most of the kids pay very little attention to their teachers or principal. dolph lundgren and (sam decker) plays the soldier or school teacher and decides he is going to quit teaching and go into another field. however and the principal asks him to have a detention class as his last duty as a teacher. it is at this point in the film when all hell breaks loose and the story becomes a complete bomb. try to enjoy it and if you decided to view it .

my favorite quote from crow was and when the car was going off the cliff and the movie is so bad and even the car wants to get out of it. this had to be the funniest movie i have ever seen. it was seriously out there to scare you and which makes it even funnier. if it weren not for mystery science theater i do not be here today. represent p.

corky romano has to be one of the most jaw dropping and horrific comedy ever made. while the sometimes amusing chris kattan who pulled off a very funny performance in the hilarious undercover brother his character in corky is so stupid and so unfunny which is a shame since the premise is a wonderful idea. to bad they ran out of them when they got to page 3 on the script.

i guess this would be a great movie for a true believer in organized christian dogma and but for anyone with an open mind who believes in free will and rational thinking and the separation of church and state and good science fiction it is a terrible joke. there are some well known actors who were either badly in need of work or had a need to share their personal beliefs with the rest of us heathens. i was entertained by this movie in the same way i was entertained by reefer madness. that movie attempted to teach drug education by scare tactics the same way this movie tries to teach christian principles with the threat of hell and misery for otherwise good people who do not share their interpretations of our world. it had me howling with laughter and at the same time scared me to realize how many people actually believe that our society should revert to the good old days of the 19th century.

my friends and i rented that movie last night and we had one of the greatest laughs in awhile. the movie is not supposed to be funny at all and but it is just so ridiculous and it lacks any realism whatsoever. first and phillippe (i forget what his character is called and i do not really care) uses his regular employee id to go through all the top security terminals. not only is that pathetic but it gets topped when his enormous efforts culminate in his finding the so scary lego room and which hosts the super computers. this is plain funny. the tense mood that we are supposed to experience is completely spoilt by the childish looking room. the ending and like all else and is very very very cheesy and especially when the bad guy lawyer shows up right on time. anyway and this movie is a good laugh. if you need something to make fun of and definitely see it.

this could have been a very good film and if i had been able to watch it. the hand held camera was very bouncy. from the opening credits i was worried. several of us watching it felt very nauseous by the end. but we did stay until the end because it was such a charming and interesting film and giving some insight to the young pop culture in south africa. the black and white film did enhance the artful feeling of it. the acting seemed very authentic. some of the dialog was a little hard to understand and but a theater full of non south africans seemed to find most of it funny. if you get motion sickness at all though and you may seriously consider skipping this film. it quaint and but not worth the nausea.

drss1942 really took the words right out of my mouth. i loved segal early films and feel like the only one who is still faithful to him. i just saw this movie (ok and fell asleep about 90% through and so i do not see the end). when i woke up and saw i was at the dvd menu and i was thankful i do not subject myself to any more of that movie and do not dare find out what happened at the end. there was something strange about the voice of segal and others. kinda reminded me of the original mad max where the voice were dubbed and but in the same language (australlian is english and right. positive. anyway and if i had 10 thumbs and they would all point down right now for this segal injustice.

though the title may suggest examples of the 10 commandments and it is a definitely incorrect assumption. this is an adaptation of 9 seemingly unrelated stories from giovanni bocaccio 14th century decameron story collection. set within a medieval italian town largely peasant population and it is a diatribe on the reality of sex (and its consequences) within that world and time. a realistic view of life within this world and it sometimes feels like a journey back in time. given the depicted human element of its time and one can also see the more adventurous side of morality in its protagonists as well as the ironies of life and at times. or it may also be viewed as a general satire of the catholic church rules. nothing terribly special and but definitely interesting if one comes with no expectations or assumptions.

a not bad but also not so great heist film. kirk douglas is a recently released from prison safe cracker who and after turning down an offer from the mob and decides to pull the job himself. he recruits circus gymnast giuliano gemma. mayhem ensues. douglas and gemma soon find themselves pursued by mafia goon romano puppo as well as entangled in a really goofy love triangle with douglas infinitely patient girlfriend (florinda bolkan). director michele lupo keeps the pace moving quickly and there at least one excellent and creative car chase sequence involving puppo and gemma. though an italian production and most of the filming appears to have been done in germany. douglas is fine and not just slumming it in an giallo quickie. the striking bolkan gives a terrific performance. the music is by ennio morricone and the cinematography is by the great tonino delli colli and who managed to work with everyone in italy (from wertmuller and fellini to pasolini and leone).

scary movie 2 is a let down to the scary movie franchise. scary movie 1 and 3 and 4 were all good but this one was kind of boring and not very funny. luckily they picked their act up after this one and made two more great scary movies. this film is about a group of teens who get tricked by their professor into going to a haunted mansion for a night. things start to go wrong and then they realize they have to escape. this movie isn not horrible but they could have improved quite a few things. it is a bit of fun and if you liked the other movies in the scary movie franchise then give this a watch but i do not think you will like it nearly as much.

it die hard meets cliffhanger when a ski resort is besieged by terrorists and it up to one cop and jack (crackerjack) to stop this. a b action movie that borrows from other films and is quite good with pretty good action and a ridiculous plot (as always in these movies) and three fine stars. thomas ian griffith as the cop and nastasja kinski and christopher plummer as terrorists. if you do not like stupid b action movies this is not for you.

i read the comment of chris_m_grant from united states. he wrote represent a fantastic documentary of 1924. this early 20th century geography of today iraq was powerful. i would like to thank chris and people who are interested in bakhtiari nomads of iran and the zagros mountains and landscapes and have watched the movie grass and a nation battle for life. these traditions you saw in the movie have endured for centuries and will go on as long as life endures. i am from this region of iran myself. i am a bakhtiari. chris and i am sorry to bother you but bakhtiari region of zardkuh is in iran not in irak as you mentioned in your comment. iran and irak are two different and distinct countries. taking an iranian for an irankian is almost like taking an american for an mexican. thanks and ziba.

it a good movie if you plan to watch lots of landscapes and animals and like an animal documentary. and making pierce brosnan an indian make you wonder does all those people do not recognize if someone isn not indian at plain sight.

think stage play. this is worth seeing once for the performances of lionel atwill and dwight frye. compare the melvyn douglas in ghost story with the melvyn douglas of this film. are there vampires at loose in this bavarian village and or is there a more natural and albeit equally sinister and explanation. dwight frye is herman and a red herring and who is cast as an especially moronic character. it fun to look at his different facial expressions in what is really a stock character. not much happens for a long time and but then we discover that atwill pipe smoking doctor is the real murderer. there is too much comic relief but that is par for the course for this era. fay wray looks really good.

alicia silverstone (pre clueless) plays a modern day crime obsessed teenager attempting to solve the brutal slaying of a local girl. pat verducci wrote and directed this b flick and which isn not especially well made but is however surprisingly serious minded in regards to its leading character. silverstone is appealing and successful in carving out an interesting young woman here and despite the picture kitschy undermining. the supporting cast (including kevin dillon and michael bowen) isn not bad and though the violence in the last act goes overboard. not a cheesy camp fest and but nothing exceptionally memorable either. half from .

i was china in this film. i choose the screen name sheeba alahani because i was modeling at the time in italy and they couldn not pronounce my real name correctly and so i choose sheeba and then added alahani since it was similar to alohalani. i had never acted before (and it shows) and but it was so much fun to film. they gave me acting lessons each morning (which obviously were not useful). they dubbed my voice (thank goodness). david and peter were a blast on the set and full of good humor and jokes. this film was never meant to be taken seriously and it was a tax write off according to inside information. i give it a 1 because i have a sense of humor and but a 10 for the fun i had acting in it.

this solid little horror film is actually one of renny harlin best. the story is pretty routine stuff and but the atmosphere is what really makes it come alive while in fact and the ghost story is almost an afterthought. the real horror comes from the prison setting itself and and renny h. spares no detail in showing us how bad the conditions are inside that crumbling and leaking and rat infested old hellhole (with a sadistic warden and too. ) viggo mortensen is excellent as usual in the lead role and supported by some very authentic looking prisoners (there are no pretty boys in this cast. ) horror fans should check this one out.

true story of a late monster that appears when an american industrial plant begins polluting the waters. amusing and though not really good and monster film has lots of people trying to get the monster and find out whats going on but not in a completely involving way. give it points for giving us a giant monster that they clearly built to scale for some scenes but take some away in that it looks like a non threatening puppy. an amusing exploitation film thats enjoyably silly in the right frame of mind. (my one complaint is that the print used on the elvira release is so poor that it looks like a well worn video tape copy that was past its prime 20 years ago. ).
