I rented I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW

to see if it was really as bad in the name on paper-it had been recommended by my best friend who enjoys scary movies. But the movie didn't live up to her expectations- The acting wasn't very good, and there were a couple scenes that seemed pointless (the climax... well thats just plain silly)and the plot could have taken some back-story work before even getting started.<br /><br />There is no plot whatsoever at all.The story seems like two separate stories from different directors trying their utmost for 80 minutes of entertainment. <br /><br />'Curious Yellow'- The film has an attractive soundtrack but overall the

after reading the "prequel", and was so disappointed.<br /><br />It is completely lacking in all areas except for one- acting. The acting is atrocious and as if a scriptwriter wrote it while high on something like coffee or beer...if that makes any difference at all! In some of its scenes such as the conversation between Dr.Lambert (Michael Caine) & his wife with an elderly woman in her early 80's, you can just see how badly this man wanted to make a good film by trying his best not to come across being funny, but even attempting to come off as creepy,

"I Am Curious: Yellow" is
|
a silly fun time for all, regardless of your sensibilities. The movie has some great musical numbers and I can't wait to see "I Am Curiously Corleone".<br /><br />Mostly based on the 2001 play by Andrew Davis called "...Yellow Man", this film stars James Woods as Jimmy Whitehead, a hapless young man in his fifties who decides that it would be funny if he were able to get into prison life again.<br /><br />There are plenty of ridiculous situations thrown at him throughout the course of two hours (the entire length). I do wish there had been

a movie that will appeal to the true believer's of all things "Curiosity." This story has its roots in real life and I think even today as people move about daily with no shortage of interesting facts being handed on by those who were once alive. Unfortunately, this reality doesn't lend itself well to entertainment but it IS the case here...that when something or someone does not get reported quickly enough; we tend towards seeking them out for an instant glance at their lives.<br /><br />I would rate this movie 10/10 because I could not have been more pleasantly surprised than what came through after the first two scenes

it on the "watchlist" but this movie blew my mind. I am a sucker for action films and some of these movies are pretty goofy too, especially when you have such stellar actors in them.<br /><br />The first 15 minutes were fairly entertaining though - that was mainly because they took one great line at about 2:40am or so and it made me roll with anticipation! And there is one thing i don't think anyone here will disagree with:<br /><br />My favorite part of any flick is the end credits; always an awesome finale!!!<br /><br />Well, time for more

the same mistakes again..it was a poor effort overall but at least that one didn't do what I really want it too. It does have so much potential and is still worth watching - you get more from Tarkovsky than even I've seen.<br /><br />The acting by everyone in this film, however...well, they are as good or better (depending on how you look at it), but not great either of them were especially good actors though, apart from Zola. He had an interesting performance here which surprised me because he's hardly ever given that kind of screen time before - although there would be plenty more opportunity

film for years and thinking it was going to be some kind of great sci-fi horror/scifi drama/maybe even a couple episodes in a 1960s TV Series (although the former is unlikely), I decided that maybe next time there would just be more footage of people floating through tubes? What's with all these bizarre scenes where we get random actors doing weirdly filmed tricks or something like that?? How can you make a whole movie just filled with these things? Seriously. And as far as what they do in their spare time when everyone else who should have died has already been murdered by other ghosts?! This is really bad

2 out of ten for most of the movie was laughable. But what kept me from throwing a pizza in front of my TV and kicking myself is that the plot line didn't end where it started.<br /><br />One guy got his eye popped so they tried to make some more sense by having him become an astronaut and do stuff with space travel, which ended up making it into one big joke until he ran off after a little encounter with two girls who happened to be the friends I had seen playing basketball when we were teenagers.<br /><br />If you just watch the first episode without trying to figure things out yourself,

Don't expect elaborate sets or acting by any known actors like Jack Nicholson or William H Macy just because of a "great cast".

They constructed this one as

being a 'Gossip Girl' type of film... but all I got was the same story over and over again.<br /><br />As such, the pacing, focus on characters without depth (the writers had no idea what to do with these people at first), lackluster plot, poorly cast actors and ridiculous dialog made it extremely difficult for me to even care about any character. Also very unwatchable scenes were cut out just prior to end credits which meant that there wasn't enough time left after them to really make you feel involved in their misery, nor did I ever become emotionally connected towards their plight.<br /><br /

a 'coming-of-age' movie, but the story is so full of self-inflicted emotional baggage that it was difficult to get through.<br /><br />The characters do not come across as interesting enough for any sort of human interest. There's no real depth here at all; just some good-looking people looking bad and acting terribly when they have their eyes on something else - or worse: just sitting around with nothing better than what's in front of them. It's like watching paint dry (but actually more accurate), maybe because there are only five hours left before dark...<br /><br />(the end credits are really funny

The acting is fairly decent and the story does have certain twists and turns in plot-line; the only problem I had with the script was that the characters weren't fleshed out enough. It seemed to drag at times and dragged all the way up as there's not much else left for character development here.<br /><br />If you want something interesting with a good amount of gore (I'm using "interesting" in the sense of being able to do without killing off your pets!)

When a man who doesn't

know where he's going gets stranded, what happens to him? What becomes of those in his company or family whose lives have been ruined by the events that brought about their situation? And most important... How do you recover from all this trauma and how can people be expected again? This is one reason why "Gone Girl" is such an intriguing film. It has both elements that made my stomach turn: tragedy (like losing someone we love) coupled with mystery.<br /><br />The story isn't necessarily hard for me because I didn't look at it twice while watching it.

I have been looking for

this movie since its release in 1983. I finally found the DVD and bought it, not because of any film quality issue but simply because there has to be one good reason why a film is released with an uncut version. The only thing that bothered me during my search through all the available movies was the fact that there are always some people out there who believe whatever they see on television should happen or say what others think. That's right. There are still so many movie theatres filled with old, dirty boxes waiting just to get cleaned from their rotten contents. But after seeing this flick it became clear that if I

The film is somewhat disappointing; I feel at times it does not reach an appreciable level - but one that can be summed up with a line such as: "And nobody

Game Fans are rising and in some cases more than double, it is fair to say that Video games are playing a bigger role then ever before. That was why I watched this as it looked like quite an interesting drama at first glance but really could not take my eyes off the screen during most parts of the movie.<br /><br />The movie started out with three very simple elements: First of all there is a game that people can play in their spare time after work or any other hour they have free. Second is the protagonist who has a past where his life was never what he wanted it to be though no matter how hard he tries

Not sure if I'm referring

to this film as a whole, or just for the great cast of actors in it. All four films make good use of an intelligent premise and good direction by Michael Chikatil. <br /><br />I liked "The Man From Snowy River" best because its plot is different from other westerns (and similar films) since most Westerns rely on gun-wielding villains killing off the characters with guns.<br /><br />But even that doesn't really count when all you have are your eyes and ears to guide you on how things might go during their 130 minutes or so.

to this comment by 'Goth'... or the movie itself, but just thought it might be interesting. The first paragraph is fine and well written; however after the middle of the story a major problem begins to appear - that of explaining WHY JASON HAS A FINE HEART??? Why does the "family" think he's too smart? What drives these parents (of varying moral character in fact) to have their son as an heir for inheritance??? This scene was also totally unbelievable.<br /><br />To sum up though: Don't waste your time renting this one unless you're desperately bored so badly they can afford it!!!!

But then the ending just sort of threw me by because it was so predictable and incoherent compared to all previous films in that category where there were several things which had little meaning outside that one plot thread (in THIS case, what happens near midnight?). In other words, my theory is true: The second half of the movie felt like an average horror flick, except on another level; at times when it starts off

Of the three titles from

this director, I like "Freddy Got Fingered" better. This one has really interesting story lines and is worth seeing by its self.<br /><br />This movie isn't so much a satire as it becomes something of an exploration. It starts out on the same foundation as its predecessors (i.e., it's kinda similar to The Evil Dead in that sense) but after you think about it for half of the two hours or so you realize what it tries too be: 3 horror films without ever being scary - maybe some gory murders here and there to lighten up but not enough real gore with plenty of blood

this era, "The Magnificent Seven" is best known for being one of Hollywood's top box-office flop efforts. I had never seen any portion in my life which was so bad that it didn't register as such until 1980 when it hit me on a first date: "You don't need to see anything else.

this movie is not a film in it's own right? I've seen the other review before me. This reviewer seemed to be disappointed by having two girls falling for each other in an intimate, forbidden way but it was really all about sex and getting away with what she wants while trying (with little success)to keep him from getting what he deserves.<br /><br />The story doesn't need much explanation and so does the acting which isn't too bad, as long as your expectations aren't very high because this doesn't require any special qualities on the part of actors or anyone else involved in making such a production; at least most

this was made by someone with some kind of knowledge about the 1970s and American movie-making, especially when it's only been three years since they put out "Killer Klowns From Outer Space" on DVD? This is a major mistake! I've read other comments stating how bad the acting was. Yes...it is bad, but not in a funny way.<br /><br />The movie begins slowly; all the characters are introduced through flashbacks from prior to first appearance. The jokes aren't bad either; there are several hilarious ones thrown at odd times throughout. It goes downhill after this point into the sill

Devil Hunter gained notoriety for

good at first - there was so much promise in it that you would want the truth about what really happened revealed.

Sexo Cannibal, or Devil Hunter
|
as my film's title is a good old fashioned zombie film. There are zombies in this film too but that won't spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it.<br /><br />The plot of Sexo Cannibal is about a group of men (yes they're men) who decide to go overboard and start killing all the bad guys when he goes undercover on a team at a police station to investigate murders.(Auntie Tessa!

Not only is it a

very low budget film, yet the plot of this movie seems completely contrived. It does not appear to be made for serious viewers or fans of the original Twilight Zone.<br /><br />In fact, I find that these shows were never designed as television programming so much more serious than what we see today. However, even with all of the terrible things being said about Star Trek series and Star Trek: DS9, it has always been appreciated because it was entertaining science fiction despite its faults.<br /><br />On the other hand, most "big time" sci fi TV series are far from stellar examples like this one where you know

you will ever see. <br /><br />I mean it was made for teenagers, and this movie shows a lack of effort to make good use of children's imagination at all costs - they must have been very bored after watching another terrible cartoon.<br /><br />The actors are as dull as their characters, with no real acting skills whatsoever, even though there was some great dialogue in the film (in which two girls were trying hard not laugh out loud).<br /><br />There is little sense from beginning to end of how anyone could like something so dumb - nothing that makes any sort of an impression...<br /><br
