This movie lacks heart and character development. The dialogue can be
witty, unique, and clever at times but, it does not work as a whole.
The cast is great. Unfortunately the viewer never gets a chance to
discover who the characters are. The way some of the dialogue is
delivered I wonder if the actors even understand who their characters
are.This movie wanders through the dess...

The trailer was funnier than the movie. I was somewhat looking forward
to seeing this film, and was greatly disappointed when it turned out to
be completely awful. There were some funny moments, but they were
swallowed up by the sheer stupidity of the rest. I seriously doubt that
fans of Black or Cera will be pleased with this film.I was lucky enough to see this movie at a free pre...

The sixth DVD project from Warner Bros's DC Animated Universe unit,
"Superman/Batman: Public Enemies" is a fun, socially-conscious
adaptation of the six-part comic book story/graphic novel by writer
Jeph Loeb and artists Ed McGuinness and Dexter Vines. Sure, it's short

but it's action-packed co...

The most thrilling movie I've seen in a long time. Neeson is what we
would fear if James Bond went to hell and came back for revenge (I
doubt big budget Quantum of Solace will top this). I loved Jason
Bourne; but where Bourne is confused for half the movie, Neeson is
looking down a barrel of a pistol 3/4 of the time. In a three way spy
battle, I would put Neeson edging out ...

"Fracture" (2007) is directed by Gregory Hoblit who has also made
"Frequency" (2000), "Fallen" (1998) both of which I like and "Primal
Fear" (1996) - his feature debut that I love.Crime /Thriller/Mystery /Court Drama are among my favorite genres and

I think you're going to see some very mixed reviews for this film. The
tragedy is that it's going to be picked up primarily by fans of
westerns, who are looking for shootouts and plots that can be boiled
down to "good guys" and "bad guys." Do not go into this movie expecting
that.This is ultimately a revenge story, but not a straightforward or
clean-cut one; in this way...

It seems like Drop Dead Sexy started out with an interesting idea for a
dark comedy, but ran aground somewhere in the writing process. The plot
holes, awkward characters, and rather thin resolution make me wonder if
money ran out somewhere along the way and the script was hastily
finished and/or doctored up to get the movie released quickly.Jason Lee is surprisingly flat as the mai...

"Quicksand", a film directed by the man who made the mighty "Long Good
Friday", is about a million miles away from that film.
It is an action movie in the vein of "The Fugitive", messily
made
with an average result from the two lead actors.
While the movie has nothing much going for it, after renting it on DVD I
must confess that I watched it 'till the end and enjoyed it'st...

Great fun!Jackie Chan brings his brand of physical comedy to Hollywood with another
buddy movie. Similar to his "Rush Hour" series with Chris Tucker, Chan sets
this one in the American old west and chooses Owen Wilson as his
partner.I like these better than the Rush Hours. Tucker and Owen are both excellent
playing opposite Chan in both series, but the Shanghai series seems to of...

The acting may look a bit "forced" at times (ok, perhaps "painfully
horrible" would be a better expression)
but really folks... did you honestly expect an award winning performance
from Van Damme or Goldberg?
I don't know about you all, but I rented this movie to see Van Damme

Gattaca is a brilliant under-rated piece of cinema that the not-too-distant
future will, in retrospect, see it as one of the more outstanding movies of
the nineties. It is prolific, stylish, thought-provoking, and one of the
few recent science fiction movies that totally foregoes special effects and
does it well.There is nothing about Gattaca that I didn't like. It is a subtle pi...

Being a horror movie buff, I have no idea how this little gem escaped me the
first time around. I'd heard a lot about it, read about it, etc but wrote it
off as "probably stupid" like most of the other horror movies I had so
wanted to see. So, it wasn't until many years after the movie's release
that I finally saw it. And boy am I glad I did!Surprisingly, the acting is fabulous.....

then you might as well ignore this review. In addition, if you're not able
to take a few sci-fi leaps of faith, ignore this review, as well. We'll
both
be better off.This is the finest action movie of all time. And, yet, believe it or not,
it's not the action in the film itself that makes this be the case...

The Guardian a "good" film, it sure as hell is an entertaining one. The

of a young couple's (Dwier Brown and Cary Lowell) infant son. Camilla
appears to be the perfect nanny, sweet and loving, but actually, she's a...

I have never quite seen a movie like this before. In it, Richard Gere

his most sinister role and I think his best character in years. There are
many disturbing elements in this film and most of them are perpetrated by
Richard Gere's Dennis Peck. He knows how to manipulate people to get what
he wants and if that doesn't work he uses other measures.The story goes like th...

won't leave each other, even though they are probably the worst people

It seems almost pointless for me to add any comments here, since
everyone else who's posted has done such a great job of summarizing
this film's merits, but I can't resist. How do you rate a movie like
this? On the one hand, it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen:
completely lacking in coherence, shameful acting, writing so bad it
seems to be making fun of itself. In fact,...
