Barnyard
Reviewed by Prelude I don't know what's worse: - the fact that the director PURPOSEFULLY made all the MALE cows have udders, thinking it was funny - when the male cows walk around, it looks like they have some sort of mutated penises (or is it penii?) ... More Promoted 10 years, 11 months ago

Hot Shots!
Reviewed by jasoncarulli Out of respect to this spoof cult classic, I think I was being a little generous with my star rating...Cheap laughs, combined with a thin plot leave this one far from the stature of a Naked Gun, but in the end, it remains a reference in the...

Layer Cake
Reviewed by Prelude Grand Assault, I think perhaps you went in post-Casino Royale impression of Daniel Craig. I saw this film a year or so ago, way before Craig was even announced as the new Bond. When I seen it, he was a complete nobody, and maybe that's wh... More Promoted 10 years, 11 months ago

Night Skies (Widescreen Edition)
Reviewed by doudouce55 The movie/story had potential, but this movie got out of hand when it became too "alien" and gross. I don't mind the aliens, but the gory part was just too much (especially towards the end). The fact that these people were actually hypnoti... More Promoted 10 years, 11 months ago

Lucky Number Slevin
Reviewed by Prelude I had to shut this one off about half way. I'm baffled how people can dare compare this to 'Usual Suspects' or 'Two Smoking Guns'. The only thing in common is violent deaths and gangster related plot. The acting (or lack thereof) of Hart... More Promoted 10 years, 11 months ago

The Gathering
Reviewed by doudouce55 For a horror picture, I was not impressed. And I am *not* a horror picture fan, but I do enjoy thrillers. The plot looked good enough for a thriller. First I have to say that the entire family dislikes Ricci's acting, and here she is no ... More Promoted 10 years, 11 months ago

Bandidas
Reviewed by Jessica While I am not a big fan of either Salma Hayek or Penelope Cruz, this movie, from the start when I saw Penelope Cruz playing Tic-Tac-Toe with her horse (who cheats), showed me that I was likely to enjoy it. With a great cast that include... More Promoted 10 years, 11 months ago

Memento
Reviewed by doudouce55 I really don't have much to add to Prelude76's review, since I agree 100% with what is written. The story was certainly interesting and well directed. I can't imagine other actors in those roles. The editors must have enjoyed working on th... More Promoted 10 years, 11 months ago

The Wicker Man
Reviewed by jasoncarulli Why a remake of this dull, predictable, non-thriller ever came to be is a question by films end that still remains unanswered. Nicholas Cage continues to disappoint with every film he releases and with a plot that could have been wrapped up... More Promoted 10 years, 11 months ago

Death of a President
Reviewed by doudouce55 This was quite enjoyable. Not as entertainment, but rather as a study of what would be the possible reactions of people working close to the president of the U.S.A. if he were assassinated. If one were to arrive in the middle of the "fake ... More Promoted 10 years, 11 months ago

Kolya
Reviewed by Prelude This is one beautiful powerful emotional (and funny) film, and it rightfully deserved the Oscar for best Foreign Language film it received in 1997. And its base, it may seem like another 'been done before' type of film; a womanizing bac... More Promoted 10 years, 11 months ago

Kinky Boots
Reviewed by doudouce55 For some unknown reason, very few people seem to have enjoyed this film. The story is, admittedly, rather simple and somewhat predictable.

Mindhunters
Reviewed by jasoncarulli Entertaining at best, but I expected more from the star-studded cameos. Christian Slater first to go? really? Plot twists until the end, but it didn't hold up as well as it could have. More Promoted 11 years ago

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Reviewed by WyrmSlayer I was surprised, to say the least. After reading the books, the movie was better than I expected it to be. Usually directors take free carte blanche with Book-to-Film movies and add or take at their leisure. Chris Columbus was able to ... More Promoted 11 years ago

Children of Men
Reviewed by doudouce55 Alfonso Cuaron shows us in this film that he is the master of long takes, and few cuts. Brilliantly cinematographed and directed, with a most excellent cast, this is a wonderful film. The bonus feature is something I rarely watch, but every... More Promoted 11 years ago

CSI: Miami
Reviewed by jasoncarulli The acclaimed CSI series went south (figuratively) with the addition of Miami. David Caruso may have resurrected his career with a high weekly Nielsen rating, but that does not account for his ridiculous overacting and dramatic postures. As... More Promoted 11 years ago
