Air Force One (1997)
Gary Oldman holds it together.
This movie isn't Harrison ford's best he doesn't do that great of a job but oldman is very convincing. The scenes with Ford are boring and dumb but oldman's character seems to have more of a heart and better reasons then ford's it almost made a communist sympathiser out of me. if you are thinking of watching this see the fugitive instead.
Airplane! (1980)
Not the best upscale comedy
This movie is quite humorous but if you want a great upscale comedy watch Mallrats it is much better. I guess people call this a "classic comedy" but then they might as well call Fraternity Vacation a classic though this movie shouldnt even be mentioned in the same sentence as that one I found it somewhat of a disappointment I wasnt as funny as id heard it would be not even close.
Emma (1996)
One of Gwyneth Paltrow's best performances.
Most of the talk about Gwyneth is about her oscar winning role in Shakespeare in Love but I believe Emma to be at a stand still with that movie they are very much equal in every aspect. She is great in these romantic comedies I think it is her strong point right now but I would like to see her take up more dramatic roles she is a good actress most people I know wouldn't think of me as th type of guy to like romantic comedies but a matter of fact I do have quite a soft spot for them.
Chain Reaction (1996)
much better than Speed
I like this movie a lot better than Keanu Reeves previous effort Speed I think his acting was much better. Morgan Freeman was great as always and Rachel Wiesz was a lot a really lot better then Sandra Bullock was in Speed. I would rather watch this movie then speed anyday. Also I liked the idea behind this movie and its interesting plot I am wondering right now what other movies have Rachel Wiesz in them a matter of fact and I will have to check them out.
Sling Blade (1996)
Billy Bob Thornton is great
I laughed at the previews to this film because of that line I like the way you talk but I didn't laugh when it was in the movie. I think the acting in this movie is great. Thornton did a great job writing directing and acting in this film which must be quite a task for anyone but he did a great job I'm interested in seeing his acting in other films such as a simple plan now.
Clerks (1994)
Amazingly funny
I didn't think I would like this movie but I thought it was hilarious. When I get the chance I'll buy it for my collection. It was one of the funniest movies I've seen I wouldn't say its a favorite of mine though but I'd watch it many more times. I love the characters except Jay who come to think of it isn't that bad of one after all so I guess there is nothing that I hated about this film and I thought I would hate everything.
2 Days in the Valley (1996)
An interesting movie.
I prefer this movie to Pulp Fiction I like all the charactors and actors and it seems like something I would write I think this movie was done about as good as anyone could do it and if you like pulp fiction esque movies you'll really like this movie a lot.
12 Monkeys (1995)
Confusing? I didn't think so.
Most people I know that watched this movie were confused nothing about this movie is really that confusing, odd but not confusing. I still didn't care for it though and I've learned not to listen to most of those crack after all some were confused by pulp fiction and reservoir dogs thats a laugh. Nothing stands out as being horrible in this movie but it just didn't satisfy me at all.
Evil Dead II (1987)
This movie is a killer comedy.
If you want to see horror watch some other movie but if you want a gory comedy watch this movie. It is full of gore and huourous jokes. Bruce Cambell is hilarious as Ash and I don't know about the other Evil Dead movies but if they're like this one I'm going to go out and get them.
Q (1982)
A classic monster movie.
This is a great monster movie I prefer it to Godzilla and I mean the original Godzilla. It's probably my favorite monster movie or at a tie with the original KIng Kong. This movie is well acted and Q is great. I definetely recommend this to any one who even remotely likes monster movies.
The Towering Inferno (1974)
A great disaster movie.
This is one of my favorite disaster movies. When I first thought of it I thought 'Oh god an OJ Simpson movie' but this was very good. The parts are played well and the movie's special effects are good. I recomend it to everyone even if you don't care for dissaster movies there is still a good chance you will like it I'm not a big disaster movie fan and I did.
The Black Cat (1966)
A good adaption of the Edgar Allen Poe's tale.
One of the closer adaptions of the Edgar Allen Poe tale. Though not one of my favorite adaptions of the story it was better then a thought it would be being a low budget B movie basically. Not that I don't like B movies I just didn't think it could compare to the Karloff and Lugosi version but it was actually close to it because the other version was less on track with the Poe story.
Repulsion (1965)
Polanski and Deneuve at their best.
Roman Polanski directs this wonderful foreign film. I like Catherine Deneuve a lot she brings sexuality to this classic at first this movie seemed confusing but after watching it I really liked it I loved what Polanski did in Chinatown And I love how he directed this film.
Ieri, oggi, domani (1963)
A collection of two pointless tales and one interesting one.
Sophia Loren is wonderful in this collection of tales. There was only one of the three that I truly liked the other two annoyed me and were boringly stupid. The one Iiked was the last tale that you see. If I were you I'd just fast foward to the last one and skip the first and do something better with your time.
The Magic Sword (1962)
A corny take on the medieval times.
This movie is one of the corniest movies I've seen and it doesn't try to be like most corny movies. It tries to be a serious movie but its far from that the bad special effects and the even worse acting makes this a movie that you should only watch if you want a good laugh at the stupidity of the people that made this film.
Doctor Blood's Coffin (1961)
Not that great of a movie.
I haven't watched it for awhile but I know I didn't like it I have on a tape with it and The Magic Sword I guess its a corny movie double feature. I remember bad acting among many other bad elements this movie had another one to watch for a good laugh.
12 Angry Men (1957)
A brilliant film.
Henry Fonda is excellent in this movie as is the rest of the cast. Its surprising that this movie isn't that boring cause of the fact it takes place basically in the confines of a single room but that's what makes it so great. This movie is a must see for every movie fan.
All About Eve (1950)
Good movie
All about Eve is a good portrayal of an actress conniving her way to the top. Anne Baxter is extraodinary as Eve Harrington. Bette Davis is also great playing Margo Channing. After watching this movie you will see why it won best picture of 1950 at the oscars.
Bud Abbott and Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)
Abbott and costello are great
Abott and Costello have to be my favorite comedic duo they are very funny in this spoof on Frankenstein but the thing I like is that people that acted in the movies that are being spoofed played the parts as the monsters and stuff. It wasn't like the spoofs nowadays the people that made the movies that are being made fun of laugh and don't go arrrg I hate these people.
Laura (1944)
A great suspenseful mystery.
This is a well acted classic suspense films. Everything about this movie is good I really liked it. I like most older films and I like this one. Director Otto Preminger captures the film perfectly as do the actors with their charactors there isn't really much to say but I recommend it for people who like old suspenseful films or new suspense films.
The Corpse Vanishes (1942)
Bela Lugosi at his best in one of his worst films.
Bela Lugosi is great as usual but the movie is nothing compared to Dracula. He is probably the only one that played a perfect part in this movie but not even a legend like Lugosi could save the badness of the idea of this movie and unlike most old unspenseful horror films this movie doesn't set the mood very well. Even at its worst any of Bela's movies is only mediocre though.
Hurlyburly (1998)
One of my all time favorite films.
This movie has the wittiest dialog in any movie ive seen before this it was the dialog in His Girl Friday with Carey Grant. Hurlyburly surpasses its wittiness by a long shot though. I watched this movie three times the day i rented it and it only got better that was like a week ago and today i just bought the dvd so ill see it like another 30 times within a year probably. It is the best movie of 98 and wasnt even nominated for a single oscar that makes me very mad. I could go on but i won't.... blah blah rapititah.
RoboCop 3 (1993)
Not good as the first two films but good none the less.
Robocop 3 could have been better if it had the overkill and R rating of the first two films. I liked it more then most people i know but the fact that they entered more comedy into the film to replace the overkill dont make sense at all how does comedy replace overkill. It has a good story though. It is somewhat disappointing but not half as disappointing as aliens 3 now that was a bad third film.
RoboCop 2 (1990)
One of the best sequels ever
I usually dont care that much for sequels but this is one major exception it almost surpasses the original it is very under rated and that makes me mad what people say about alot of movies makes me made Well, this movie continues the story of robocop in classic robocop fashion great over kill and interesting new ways to kill criminals. robocop 2 also adds more satire comedy to the mix making it more pleasant to watch on any occasion.
RoboCop (1987)
a great movie
Robocop is a great movie which you already know i think. Well, anyways I this movie is even better on dvd. More overkill yes a quality that made the movie so good. This movie is well acted and has a good plot which is rare for and action well scfi/action movie i guess youd call it but i was surprised i was expecting a shoot em up bang action movie but what i got was a masterpiece.
