It's a real shame that mediocre indie films, such as "Open Water" and
"Napoleon Dynamite," get tons of publicity while a gem like
"Baadasssss!" goes unnoticed.Director and co-writer Mario Van Peebles affectionately, but
truthfully, chronicles a fictional telling of his father, Melvin Van
Peebles' attempt to make "Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song," modern
black cinema's groundb...

Starring: Rodney Dangerfield, Anita De Simone, Annabelle Gurwitch, Charles Fleischer, Robert Davi, ...

Being a huge Rodney Dangerfield fan, it was more of a sad than funny
experience watching this film. It's not for the simple reason that I
know that Rodney is no longer with us, but the fact that he looks
extremely sick throughout this movie. His face is pale, his eyes are
really puffy. There are quite a few scenes in the film where it's
evident that Rodney would've rather been ...

i haven't see the show that this cartoon is based on,so i can't compare
it to that.as a standalone movie,though,i thought it was pretty good.i
liked the characters and their quirks.the story was full of intrigue
and suspense.yes,i said it suspense,even though it's a cartoon.the
movie also moves along at a decent clip.there are a lot of pop cultural
references,some m...

Screw all those crappy reviews! This is a wonderful film! First of all,
I
was hoping to one day see a movie about the actors behind a children's TV
show who are completely nuts in real life. Well, I got my wish. I would
say that Adam Resnick (the writer) stole my idea, but I had no exact
thoughts on where to go with the premise. Well, Resnick went really far
with this ...

Anyway, you shouldn't compare this movie to either of the above.
Although I haven't seen Yojimbo (pronounced Yo-Jimbo by one of the
characters), but I'm sure it won't be fair to all of them.This movie is an action movie, with Van Damme as the good guy, but it's
not very serious. Sure, there are explosions and guns and kicks and a
completely unnecessary sex scene...

Q demonstrated how to drive the BMW by remote control by moving his
finger around a pad inside a special mobile phone…None of Bond's cars
can compare for hi-tech gadgetry with the BMW 750 Sedan he drove on
this film mission… "Tomorrow Never Dies" opens with H.M.S Devonshire on a routine patrol
from the Philippines to Hong Kong when it was overflown by two Chinese

Genres: Biography    Drama   

Starring: Woody Harrelson, Courtney Love, Edward Norton, Brett Harrelson, Donna Hanover, ...

As Larry Flynt is hardly the usual type of person you think of when you
think of the word "hero," it's fitting that this biopic opts not for the
standard approach, but to make an offbeat comedy(as writers Scott Alexander
and Larry Karaszewski did in their screenplay for ED WOOD and the upcoming
MAN ON THE MOON, about controversial comedian Andy Kaufman). You may not
like him(a...

Genres: Action    Crime    Fantasy    Thriller   

Starring: Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Michael Gough, ...

Out of all the Bat-films, Batman Returns is my favorite. This beautiful,
dark, and funny film is one of Tim Burton's best work. Although it is much
violent and darker, this is the Batman that creator Bob Kane envisioned
many
years ago. Michael Keaton reprises his role as the avenger of Gotham
City.
This time he's up against two deadly foes, Danny Devito's Penguin and
...

Starring: Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, Tony Goldwyn, Stanley Lawrence, Christopher J. Keene, ...

Ghost is one of my favorite films. It is romantic and touching. Ghost shows
the love that transcends even death. The chemistry between Demi Moore and
Patrick Swayze is incredible. The way they look at one another is sexier
than any of those very graphic "love scenes". They make a real romantic
connection just through their eyes. Ghost not only has wonderful, likeable
charac...

I liked this better than Dangerous Liaisons which came out at about the same
time. Of course Dangerous Liaisons was very good, and John Malkovich, who
played Vicomte de Valmont, is an actor of power, and Glenn Close, who played
the Marquise de Merteuil, is highly accomplished, but I preferred the charm
of Colin Firth in this film to the brutality of Malkovich, and I thought
A...

I've read several comments by people under the age of 30 who trash on this
film, call it crap, and characterize us fans as vapid, thorazine-addled
retards. Whatever makes you happy, folks! If trashing on a film that was
seminal in the annals of low-budget cinematic resourcefulness makes you
feel
special then I'm happy for you.There is a reason we love this film. The script i...

All throughout the decade of pencil-thin neckties and Pat Benatar look-alikes,
various films came along that served to embody the times. "Valley
Girl" (which introduced us to Nicholas Cage) and "Secret Admirer" were just
a drop in the proverbial bucket. Amy Heckerling's "Fast Times at Ridgemont
High" was the textbook definition of life as a teenager in the eighties and
