I saw this film at the New Orleans premiere and found it to be an
interesting spectacle that I largely enjoyed watching. I'm writing to
let the public know that the numbers look strange at this point
(September 17, 2006). Why? Nearly 20% of the votes have been in the 1-3
range (which would rate this film to be in the ranks of the worst low
budget films ever made). One voter...

This is a good movie, and includes some very good performances. It is not
a
great movie, however. While the writer understood that the complexity of
the Vietnam "problem" lay in the various individuals involved in "The Path
to War," he misunderstood where the contradictions and conflicts of those
characters lay.For example, given the material, and in spite of a peculiar attem...

Anyone who has followed Rourke's career lately has to be pleased that this
flick was made.Yes,the movie rips off countless other action films but who
cares when you've got the pumped-up Rourke whooping ass in the middle of
all
the cliches.Danny Trejo gives a very creepy supporting performance and I
really enjoyed the score as well.I bought this movie after renting it and

Falling Down is the kind of film that has much more more happening than
many of us want to know about. It is disguised simply as a film about
an apparent nut who goes out and tries to right the wrongs that have
been done to him and in his trek across Los Angeles he becomes an
anti-hero. While that may be true to an extent, read more into it and you can see
a film that tries to ...

The Two Jakes and The Godfather 3 were released in the second half of 1990
and both films proved that sometimes it's best not to tamper with classics.
This is not necessarily because sometimes a sequel can't compliment a
classic, but because no matter what you do, there's no way to avoid
comparing the new versions to the old. And the final chapter of the
Godfather trilogy is va...

As a boy, I never liked western films. My father loved them all, all the
John Wayne classics, the Spaghetti Westerns, the whole
lot.I despised them all. They were all the same. Same plot. Same rotten
cinematography. Same unbelievable characters. Couldn't understand the
attraction.Then I saw Lonesome Dove. This film (actually a mini-series) is an absolute
masterpiece.It starts w...

Boy, what a frustrating film to watch....even though it is very good
and has been a part of my collection for a number of years now. Still,
it's hard to see the good guy, the little guy, beaten up by the big
guys. Here's one story where Goliath beats David. Anyway, this was an interesting supposedly- true-life story of how
Preston Tucker got a raw deal form the Big Three ca...

My favourite movie of all time. This was a flawed piece of work by
Coppola and seeing the documentary 'Heart of Darkness' made it even
more compelling. Coppola at this point was king of Hollywood after
making 'the Godfather' and 'GodfatherII' and had developed the ego
necessary to even dare try to make a movie like 'Apocalypse Now'.

If you're looking for a Howard Hawks/John Wayne-style western, the
Missouri Breaks may not be for you. It is, in my opinion, the most
sadly underrated western ever.This film didn't get the treatment it deserved when it came out in the
70s in part because its two stars, coming off movies like the Godfather
and Chinatown, were box office powerhouses in their prime when unique...

He's supposed to be the leading authority in freelance surveillance,
but from the start there are hints that while he's good, he's also
careless. While his apartment is locked, his landlord leaves him a
Happy Birthday present. His mistress, Amy (Teri Garr in a small role)
tells him she saw him standing in the staircase for an entire hour. He
invites a rival co-worker to his off...
