I'm not here to tell you "Armored" is Kubrickian, Hitchcockian or
Fellini-esquire. Nope. Referenced directors are more like Don Siegel
("Charlie Varrick") and Walter Hill ("The Warriors"). Those two helmers
didn't fool around with niceties like putting women in their movies. No
skirts need apply. They unapologetically made guy movies. Guns, lots of
guns. Men met viole...

I've literally joined this site to comment on this film. I love films
but i'm no film buff and prefer to enjoy a film rather than analyse it.
That being said, i'm picky about what films i like.The other reviews were bang on; this film is simple. It is also
absolutely brilliant. Just as Games with the best graphics aren't
always the most playable, while the old ones ...

Sure if someone has hot as Jennifer Aniston were to offer you to touch
their butt, I'm sure almost every male out there would jump at the
chance of doing so without thinking twice. It's a no brainer offer, and
a teaser of course to a larger, more sentimental story out there about
the relentless pursuit of love, the romanticism attached to wanting to
be with someone, w...

Greetings again from the darkness. Director Robert Benton has only made
11 movies in 35 years. What is consistent with each of his films is the
way he peels back the layers of humanity. He really explores the
different personalities in people. Think of the Hoffman/Streep split in
"Kramer vs. Kramer" and you will see the similarities with the break-up
here of Greg Kinnear and Se...

I am a student of film, and have been for several years. And the
concept of a cyber, kung-fu, satirical chimpanzee had me wondering, "Is
this the film that's going to break the mold?" Let's face it, America
has never been let down by any piece of cinema that features a simian
costar. After such great classics as "Monkey Trouble" and "Dunston
Checks In", I thought that t...

Katie Holmes is well-cast as an intellectual college student in this
intellectual thriller, a strange bird of a movie to sit alongside the
current batch of "teen" horror films (did you know that in this one the
students actually - gasp!- study?). Admittedly it moves at a measured pace
(some would say "like molasses"), and doesn't really take off until the last
2 minutes or so (...

First off...why does the fact that this movie deals with spousal abuse and a
woman smart enough to run and hide automatically make it a ripoff of
"Sleeping with the Enemy"? Because "The Count of Monte Cristo" has
swordplay, does that make it a ripoff of all of the Zorro movies, or the
Robin Hood movies? Does the fact that Spiderman is a Marvel Superhero make
it a ripoff of "T...

I was surprised to find the rating when I first checked it out, but I
suppose it's a matter of personal experience and the taste that goes
with it. I like to be reminded of my own personal experience (which is
similar) and compare it to what the main character goes through in the
movie. I suppose you'll like it if it means something to you, so if
you've got issues with your pas...

Probably the only thing that got the movie up to a four for me is the fact
that I love Peter Falk. One of the world's great portrayers of bumbling
incompetence . . . and yet he is one of the only anchors that prevents
this
from being a chaotic disaster. As Pops Romano, he provides a respectable
mix of gangster charm and straight man to Chris Kattan's manic
foolishness.

Before I saw this movie, I was turned off by all the negative reviews and
the fact that it was a SNL spinoff. But I bought a used tape from my video
store. Instead of war coverage and serious drama, this has become a ray of
hope. Make no mistake, it ain't winning any Oscars. But the slapstick is
funny, has great co-stars like Joe Don Baker and Chris Walken. It has a good

The Crow: Salvation (2000) is better than what I expected. Although the
straight-to-video feel is apparent during the action scenes, Salvation is a
really good sequel in the Crow series. Let me tell you, it's a lot better
than City of Angels, which (in my opinion) just didn't capture the feel of
the first Crow film. Anyway, the story this time around is
this:Lauren Randall (Jod...

How can I explain this movie? IT'S HILARIOUS!! Though you know the plot is
no more than a setup for one wacky situation after another, it works and it
works great. This comedy pushes the envelope in every aspect, and smiles
proudly. Tom Green, who gets a pretty small role, is the scene-stealer.
Fans of him will be very impressed. One moment that had me almost on the

For me the power of this movie rests in its faithfulness to Margaret
Rosenthal's book the Honest Courtesan; which is a well-researched look at
Veronica Franco's life and the plight of Venetian women in the 16th century.
Dangerous Beauty, while making certain assumptions and taking some literary
license, was a talented translation of Rosenthal's careful research into a

The original Tremors, released six years earlier, is a prime example of
how monster movies ought to be and it was immensely popular amongst
critics as well regular audiences. A sequel was inevitable and it's
actually surprising that it still took 6 years before they had it
finished…Normally; filmmakers exploit a successful franchise much
quicker than this! I think everyone...

It's rare for a cop movie to combine elements from "The Untouchables",
"Thelma & Louise" and "The Brady Bunch".Unless, of course, the lead character has a tendency to run his car into

Come next year, when I am trying to devise a list of the best films of the
90's, Robert Altman's "The Player" will be near the top of my list. This
film skillfully creates a central plot around Griffin Mill (Tim Robbins)
(who hears about 125 movie pitches per day), a studio executive who is being
threatened by a writer whose script or idea he likely brushed off. But what

Many have dismissed this film as 'too Hollywood' or fictionalized. Many

wonder why it was so under-promoted. The US Government doesn't want
anything promoted that shows their VERY dark side. Many US citizens do
not know, do not want to know, or refuse to believe that their

*** 1/2 out of **** Tremors is often described by many to be a cult classic, which is odd. The
fact is, cult films usually have a quirky quality to them that separate them
from the usual Hollywood-churned machine. Take Re-Animator, for example, or
even the recent Ravenous, both of which have oddities and bloody quirks that
average viewers might find repellant. But Tremors isn't ...

Look all you movie snobs out there. This is a classic 80's action flick
and
nothing more. Sure there were some effects, but that is not the focus of
the story. It is the interplay between Remo and Chuin that makes this
one
shine. It has classic and memorable lines. And, it was good enough for
major plot points to be stolen later by the writers of the Matrix and Men

This movie is not the "true Vietnam" experience. For that, see only 2
films: Apocalypse Now and Hamburger Hill. All the rest are baloney, or
worse. (OK, it's now 2008 and I'm editing this to include We Were
Soldiers as another great Vietnam movie. It captivated me utterly and
took me back, as did Apocalypse Now. When it was over I was unable to
