With horror remakes being all the rage right now, I don't understand
why these filmmakers didn't just remake Rosemary's Baby with Heather
Graham instead of Mia Farrow. That's all that this movie really is...
Rosemary's Baby with a dash of sci-fi cloning to make it feel like it's
something new. Only "Blessed" is done with none of the subtle style of
Roman Polanski or Ira Levin. ...

This flick, with its subtle views on America's obsession with weapons,
is likely not going to be a crowd pleaser. One of the main reasons for
this is the films use of highly symbolic mise-en-scene takes several
viewings to fully appreciate. Another reason for the let down is that
some might be inclined to want more action for a movie that centralizes
on guns.However, this movie...

STEAMBOY is director Katsuhiro Otomo first feature film in ten years,
since the release of the cult-classic AKIRA. Though he did work on a
few projects in between, like MEMORIES and METROPOLIS as well as
supervising SPRIGGAN and the brilliant psychological thriller PERFECT
BLUE, you can easily imagine Otomo-san spending the better part of a
decade honing STEAMBOY to the masterp...

I would highly recommend seeing this movie. After viewing it, you will be
able to walk out of every other bad movie EVER saying "at least it wasn't
The Omega Code."Forget my money, I want my TIME back!...

One of the characters yells at his friend: "You just knew Ho-Ho was going
to
turn out to be the fat, sweaty, desperate psycho!" And of course, we all
did too...There is no question what this movie was. There are even characters named
Scott Ridley, Sam Raimi, and John Carpenter. While the surface of the film
is a long-corridor (Aliens) horror movie, what lies beneath is sort ...

If there ever was a film which deserved to be called HAUNTING - it's this
one.
Excellent music, wonderful dream-like atmosphere, masochistically-grim
mood
verging on nihilism, mystical overtones, a sympathetic supernatural yet
human 'villain'... it's just wonderful.
Disturbing gore, genuinely creepy scenes, the setting unlike anything
you've
ever seen before- this i...

Many reviews say this is a "charming" movie and a good adaption of the
book. I think a movie that completely changes the message of the book
is not a faithful adaption. It was most likely an attempt to secularize
it, which I think would make George Macdonald roll over in his grave.
It would probably make the biggest Macdonald fan in the world, C.S.
Lewis, start spinni...

What is all this yap about Michael Keaton as Batman? Yes, he was Batman, and
he was a GREAT Batman. He pulled off every aspect of the role perfectly – he
was better than Val Kilmer, better than George Clooney, better than
everyone. He portrayed the mysterious charm of the winged crusader just as
well as he captured the cool and collected character of Bruce Wayne. Michael

That's what they SHOULD have called this piece of drek which somehow
managed
to get produced
The first two Superman films were great, especially
Superman II. The third one was bad, but in a funny kind of way. Who
cannot
laugh at Richard Pryor typing "override all security" on the computer
monitor and succeeding? But this fourth installment makes Superman 3 look

Frankly, I don't see why everybody is so up in arms about the quality of
this movie. I, for one, don't need to preface my review with a disclaimer
that only its dance sequences can be enjoyed. I happen to think that it's a
pretty excellent cinematographic work overall. Let me
elaborate.The camera work here is among the most original and clever out there. It's
incredibly dyn...

It is a hot sunny day in South America. We see a bunch of men, shot
mostly from the back. They are walking deep into the forest. We see a
tall dark figure. He is wearing an old leather jacket, he has the 5
o'clock shadow looking like it's closer to midnight, he wears a fedora
and he carries a bull-whip ( yes a bull-whip ). Finally, two of the men
enter a cave and we hea...

I loved this movie when i was about seven, and I enjoy it even more on the
same childish level today. This is a movie that doesnt ask you to suspend
belief or insult your intelligence, because it is so blatantly make believe
right up front.
I truly believe that the makers of this movie set out to make an over the
top hammy piece of cinema. I dont think anyone can argue that, i...
