LOVE STORY is a peculiar movie. It is based on the true story of the
notorious Mustang Ranch just outside of Reno, Nevada, a brothel that
was world famous run by a couple by the name of Joe and Sally Conforte
who had chutzpah and an ongoing run-in with the IRS and the law in
bringing in boxer Oscar Buenovena as an addendum to their game of
wealth. The facts of the brothel&...

This review DOES contain spoilers, so if you haven't seen this movie
yet, and finding out about it beforehand will upset your enjoyment, go
see it and then come back. Or don't see it. A lot of people are unhappy
with this flick and I believe I understand why.One of the reasons this movie has been getting bad reviews is that it
is being advertised as a romantic comedy, and...

To compare Wild Hogs to comedic greats and classic movies about
mid-life crisis would be absolutely foolish. Sitting back and enjoying
the wild ride is your best choice in getting the full enjoyment out of
this flick. Containing a diverse cast that works quite well, a handful
of funny cameos, tons of predictable yet enjoyable scenarios, and a
rather surprising amount of physica...

I saw this movie last night at a special screening for audience
feedback. Paul Walker really can act - I was pleasantly surprised. I
originally thought he was only cast for his looks, but can see he has
good acting abilities.Movie was funny, worked well and I enjoyed it. The action scene in the
kitchen was great and intense, kept me on the edge of my seat.Lawrence Fishburn - as alw...

but it was nearly empty. We soon learned why.Unearthed has a generic, by-the-numbers plot crammed full of the same

Like last year's School for Scoundrels, Woodcock is yet another movie
in which Billy Bob Thornton plays a violent dick (no pun intended) and
fails to be anywhere near as funny as he should be, thanks to a sloppy,
almost laugh-less script. To make matters worse, he's not the only
comedian whose considerable talents are wasted on this predictable
mess; Ethan Suplee and Se...

Maybe it's somehow unfair that this movie was not distributed in the US
(yet?). I have seen much worse movies and comedies that had less fun in
them well distributed and promoted. However, I can understand the
hesitations of the distributors. 'Relative Strangers' plays in a genre
that has already squeezed all the juice, and makes no attempt to be
something different...

I can see how this film might not be for everybody, but I make my
living writing for television and this movie is actually pretty dead
on. The satire works because I felt they keep it real. Stuff that might
seem absurd I have seen happen (actually real stuff that happens in the
development of a pilot would make people shout at the screen and say
"come on - that couldn't hap...

other hand was not one of my favorites. So i was hoping that this would
be better than Club Dread but I did not think it could even compare to

Okay, so a lot of people are going to tear this film apart. And they
are right to do so; after all, it certainly isn't a very intelligent
film. In fact, it is a relatively idiotic film. But it's also a fun
film.When Jay Chandrasekhar stepped up to make a film about this old TV
show, obviously he looked at the series and said, "Well, it's not very
intelligent, is it?...

Sometimes we can be over critical of a movie and call it the worst EVER

level. the performances of all the cast is woeful, Ice Cube snarls and
does his usual thing so i suppose he does fine, but the leading lady
and children act like they have been plu...

Sideways is a beautiful portrait of mid life disappointment. The
backdrop is lovely California wine country, and the casting is
flawless. Every single performance in this film is surprising, pitch
perfect, and unusual. The movie has the remarkable ability to capture
sadness and desperation in just the light that allows the audience to
recognize the humor. The ending is satisfyi...

I know it's easy to put "Terminator 3" down. Everybody had great
expectations and it was clear that this movie would have lots of
enemies, especially if someone else than Cameron was going to direct.
So, here it is now, T3, and the truth is, it is a good action movie,
just not as good as Terminator 1 & 2.What I liked best about this movie is that it doesn't include any

Well, my goodness, am I disappointed. When I first heard news of a remake
of Robert Wise's 1963 film, "The Haunting", I had a fear that it would be
ruined by an abundance of summer-movie sized visual effects. But, deep
down, I had faith. Surely, with such a talented cast intact...De Bont and
company will not ruin a film, who's original was a fantastic and frightening

Kurt Russell is excellent in this taunt, thrilling, non-stop action film.
Russell plays Jeff, a husband who has to get his wife back after she's
abducted by a trucker after their jeep breaks down and she accepts a ride
from him. Every actor is almost pitch perfect for the parts they play and
the movie was very enjoyable. J.T. Walsh is suitably menacing as Red,in my
mind, but th...

A run of the mill revenge flick. It is basically a movie version of the
hit game "Max Payne" but the story is told in a bleak and rather dull
manner.The hero goes around beating people up and teaching a kid that that is
actually a bad thing to do. Pretty funny if you think about, but it
manages to be half-way entertaining. Kurt Wimmer, in his
pre-Equilibrium days, displays some...

I remember my cousins and I used to always watch these movies when I was a

be inspired to become champions, no matter how tough the odds and no matter
how many times movies like this were remade with soccer, football, baseball,
and dogs. Even though I've seen it a million times, I still get chills when

I can't believe how many people have missed the point of this movie.
This is one of those movies that you can't just turn your brain off and
watch. Every scene from beginning to end is intended to make you
question your own faith in God. It is filled with symbolism and should
be taken at a deeper level than just a movie about a con man who uses a
ruse of holiness to con people ...

stereotypically ignorant military types. He assumes the form of a recently
deceased house painter (Jeff Bridges) and abducts the man's widow (Karen
Allen) so she...
