I got it and walked out with it within the hour I had it. I had all the extras I wanted, it was as close to perfect as I could have wished. It's the story of a high-ranking gangster, Danny (Paul Rudd) who goes out with a girl named Cindy (Kate Beckinsale) who is the wife of his uncle who is | When I ordered this from Blockbuster's website I had no idea that it would be a DVD release, I was surprised when the package looked like it would not be there.<br /><br />A month later it was there.<br /><br />This has been one of those films that is always on the cheap in my opinion, the good thing about the DVD release is, so does the film.<br /><br />The story is about a young man with a long history |
I cheer for films that fill in subject matter gaps in world cinema. So | 1 | 0 | I cheer for films that fill in subject matter gaps in world cinema. So I was shocked to be handed this low-grade effort by a distributor with a reputation for high quality work - including the much-praised "Dollars, Cents, Pounds" release of "La Strada de San Francisco" in 1996. The story is a rehash of the previous film, as are most of the details and dialogue. It's like a complete rewrite. The story is boring and | I cheer for films that fill in subject matter gaps in world cinema. So, what makes this one special? Well, this is, for me, one of those. It's a film that can fill in a void in our knowledge about war, and so is a film that I watch to fill in gaps in my film theory. I watch this film as a film theory student and am happy that I found this to be educational and useful.<br /><br />The film has a few |

The "bad" guys are not a match for him. This is one of those movies that is great fun to watch - all the characters are well played and the action just comes at you all the time. The acting, which is very good for the 80's and for the time period it is set in, is just incredible. Just watch | For anyone craving a remake of 1989's Slaves of New York. What could possibly be wrong with George Newbern and Richard Roundtree? The plot in this film is similar to Slaves but this time around the two brothers have to get their brother and best friend kidnapped and they have to stop a plot and rescue them. And when it's done it's a great film. Roundtree plays the character George, he has an ex-slave personality and I thought his acting and accent was very |

The movie tried to make it seem like a crime that there wasn't a lot of sunlight in the room, yet the main character didn't even bother trying. It's just lazy. The cinematography was horrible, the editing was awful, the music was awful, the sets were horrible, the costumes were awful, the acting was terrible. But the only good part of the movie was when the bad guys were running around with their guns. | Besides being boring, the scenes were oppressive and dark. The movie tried to make the viewers feel that they are being pushed into dark corners of the apartment, which would have a creepy vibe as the movie progresses. The story is told in flashback sequences and is about a mother named Elizabeth (Kathleen Reynolds), who has an extremely disturbed relationship with her estranged son. The story is also very realistic and has some good acting and direction. The movie is well paced and the movie never gets boring. |

I enjoyed the banter with Mr. Geller. And there was a lot of excitement for that one day when Mr. Geller would win the money. Mr. Geller is also a very entertaining character for me.

At one point in the show he gets some special advice from an unseen benef | For the first couple of seasons, I thought The Apprentice was a highly engaging television production and a joy for viewers.

It's so very boring I can't take my eyes off the TV! The whole cast should be ashamed of themselves, I've never watched a more miserable show than this. The only actors that actually made a decent contribution were Danny Akins, Tim Robbins, and Matt Jones, who's not very convincing as a high-society producer. And | I LOVED the Apprentice for the first two seasons.<br /><br />I would say it was very enjoyable for me but not really memorable for me. It was more like a family friendly show. The episodes were very short and I think it was a good short series to show how the world was different.<br /><br />For me I think it was the only show that is likeable and entertaining. I think there is a lot of action and surprises as well.<br |

The lack of action or suspense of any kind keeps the film going for too long. The characters are completely wasted. The cast consists of the usual boring actors playing to the same old clichés. The plot lacks any kind of originality whatsoever. The acting of a completely inexperienced writer was | One has to wonder if at any point in the production of this film a scriptwriter, for whatever reason, decided to not put forth a story, just a synopsis of what was going on.

The film is based on the fact that the actor played by Charles Sarno is an actor who was the victim of a mass suicide. The film is a thriller with a lot of suspense. It is also a thriller with a lot of suspense. The characters are interesting and different from each other.

The screenplay by Stroumboulopoulos was written by the writer Frank Loesser, who had previously written a play about Stroumboulopoulos.

Kennedy has me interested nonetheless. A short time before Dr. Kennedy's death in November 1969, on November 14, Kennedy released his autobiography, "My Life". The book was to be based on his memoirs but since he didn't have enough time (or at least the time he felt) to finish this one book, his book | I don't give much credence to AIDS conspiracy theories but its sociocultural context is not. A number of actors from "The Matrix" are in the cast of this movie, including an old friend of my uncle. I thought his appearance and attitude was a little bit wooden and he could have been played a lot better.<br /><br />Its the same old thing from AIDS movies.

The cliché of the shell-shocked soldier home from the war is here | 1 | 0 | The cliché of the shell-shocked soldier home from the war is here played on an old school level by the characters, in this short film (actually several short films) made with live actors. The story involves a man having a "real" heart attack (with the help of a surgeon), and the events taking place in the first 90 minutes of the film. It's almost as if the director made a short comedy and then decided to put it on a VHS tape. The title | The cliché of the shell-shocked soldier home from the war is here, only with even less fun. This is not a story with a happy ending and is more like a story about the lives of two characters who find each other out after a series of misunderstandings. It's just a lot of characters sitting around, trying to figure out their lives. The characters are very interesting and I think they have something to teach each other as they struggle through this movie. The acting was great and |
The Good Earth is perhaps the most boring film I've seen in my life | 1 | 0 | The Good Earth is perhaps the most boring film I've seen in my life. It has all the usual plot elements, but with a boring script, and so-called "plot" in my opinion is not the best word to describe this film. You'll either be looking for someone to watch in your car when you're stuck in traffic and in a rush for your ride, or you'll be looking for some obscure film reference. There are no surprises. I don't know why that makes | The Good Earth is perhaps the most boring film I've seen in my life. So much of the action happens so fast I can hardly get my head around it. I've watched it several times before and never really really care for what is happening. The first time I tried to catch my breath with the slow pace of the film. Now the slow scene of the woods and the scene of the river running is nice, it seems to be a part of the film, so I like that, |
The Good Earth is not a great film by any means, it is way | 1 | 0 | The Good Earth is not a great film by any means, it is way too slow for that to be true. But I still enjoyed it with my kids, a couple of hours (like the whole film) and then a snack break to relax. It had some very funny moments (I love Michael Douglas and Diane Lane's characters, also in the same movie) as well. The screenplay did a good job, but there are some plot points and subplots that the script couldn't put | The Good Earth is not a great film by any means, it is way too low budget to be worthwhile. It also makes the story seem much like a soap opera, in my opinion. I thought that it was a very bad movie with bad acting, bad sets and bad direction. The lead actress who plays the lead role, is the only character that is ever entertaining. They use a guy that appears to be a model to act as a cop in the movie.<br /><br /> |

If you look hard, you will see hidden in the background of some scenes, but if you look hard you will see them. You'll see how well the Chinese make this movie as many movies there are have bad music. The Chinese are masters for making a movie and I'm grateful to them. |

Amazing. That's what you'd say if you sat through this film. | 1 | 0 | Amazing. That's what you'd say if you sat through this film. How anyone could think of these people as human is incomprehensible. You'll find no sympathy for these people at all. This is supposed to be comedy, as well as a satire on the real-world situations of these people. It makes one really sad. They have all the charm and intelligence of a cardboard character, with the stupidity of a puppy. The best part is when they break out into a dance jam, | Amazing. That's what you'd say if you sat through this film. The acting is incredible and the cinematography and sets are simply brilliant. The movie is really about an older man and his son, who's mother is a nurse. There's nothing you can ask for with it. Not a single minute should pass by without you being shocked by something, I really do recommend it. It's a really great film. But this one alone has got my vote because of the storyline.

The ending is | With all the excessive violence in this film, it could've been NC-17. I have to disagree with the guy who thinks they could've been 15 minutes of action. The fact that this film had to be so violent in the beginning (especially with the cop guy) was the problem, it was nothing but action from the beginning.
