I am tired of people writing comments like this, "Not Fincher's best".
Honestly who cares. We all agree that Fincher's best is either Seven or
Fight Club, two outstanding masterpieces. There is a big margin between
a film like one of those and a terrible film, and people don't seem to
realize that. These people even do this with other filmmakers like
Spielberg or Sc...

Writer/Director John Hughes covered all bases (as usual) with this
bitter-sweet "Sunday Afternoon" family movie. "Curly Sue" is a sweet,
precocious orphan, cared for from infancy by "Bill". The pair live off
their wits as they travel the great US of A. Fate matches them with a
"very pretty" yuppie lawyer, and the rest is predictable.Kids will love this film, as they can relate to t...

Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead (1991)This is one of the best and the last 80's style comedies along the lines of
"Uncle Buck". Sue Ellen (Christina Applegate) is the oldest of 3 brothers-
Kenny (Keith Coogan), Walter (Robert Gorman), Zach (Christopher Pettiet) ,
and 1 sister- Melissa (Danielle Harris). Excited about her mom leaving for
Australia on vacation, Sue Ellen is expe...

People who dismiss this as juvenile humor or another stupid buddy comedy are
totally off the target. Emilio Estevez's screenplay is quite an intelligent
story with a number of colorful characters. Real-life brothers Estevez and
Charlie Sheen have EXCELLENT chemistry together - their comic timing is
perfect, and the scenes where they're just hanging out, talking about their
plan...

This does not touch the Cronenberg movie (or the Vincent Price movies,
from what I've seen of those), but is definitely worth the watch for
fans of gross-out monster flicks. The plot? The son of Seth Brundle
(Harley Cross) is born in a corporate laboratory. He grows up at a very
fast rate (now played by Eric Stoltz) and falls in love while
discovering the evil secrets of the bi...

David Cronenberg redefined what we think of as creepy with this
brilliant film. The makeup special effects and grossouts are top notch,
but what is most surprising about The Fly is that it turns out to be a
very well acted and emotional love story. It greatly surpasses the
original '58 version.The film focuses on the relationship between Jeff Goldblum and Geena
Davis at the top...

I think this film, probably more than any other, causes me to talk to the
characters on the screen in an exasperated way--something akin to the way
you want to yell at the characters in a slasher movie not to run outside to
investigate sounds.The only difference is that this film is fantastic, whereas cheap slasher
movies are not. Blood Simple is emotionally involving and the susp...

This movie was bitterly panned upon its release, and I see a number of
IMDB's reviewers agree with the original critics. I don't get it, except
that this movie does such a good idea of taking you inside Stephen Bauer's
character and what he is doing is so creepy that people react viscerally to
him instead of the movie. The movie is engrossing, brilliantly photographed
and wel...

My trusty Video Movie Guide 2001 dubbed this 'the most vile,
reprehensible, sexist, and misogynistic piece of tripe ever released
under the guise of a mainstream film.' Naturally, I went out and rented
it right away. Frankly, I don't understand what the fuzz is all about.
It's just another character study, albeit not a very good one: given
their respective situation, both the ...
