This was the best Dracula because it was based more on the book then any other Dracula movie
Gary Oldman is terrific as Dracula and Sir Anothony Hopkins is the best Van Helsing since Peter Cushing.
The film daptation of the graphic novel is very good, there were parts of the graphic novel I wish they had left in the movie as well as some parts I wish they hadn't changed for the movie.
If you haven't seen it you really should and if you haven't read the graphic novel, if you can get a copy is great.
One of the best Mel Brooks movies ever made. Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder's performance are a great delight to watch.
Mel Brooks did a woderful job with his directorial debut.
This is an excellent film by Fritz Lang. Peter Lorre is great as the murderer, who was based on real life child murder "Peter Kurten: The Vampire of Dusseldorf"
The 2nd time Christopher Lee played Dracula.. Christopher wouldn't speak one line in this movie cause he hated the lines they wrote for him so he only hissed at people like a snake.
I was first told by a dear friend told me to see Capote back in 2007. got a copy and watched it and I have to say that it was a really good movie. It was very entertaining and I thought Philip was terrific as Truman Capote famed author of "Breakfast At Tiffany's"
The Movie is the true story of when Truman goes to interview two men who are charged with the murder of a whole family in Kansas in 1959, which becomes Trumans book called "In Cold Blood" a book which changed the cause of American Literature.
The only thing that a few I know didn't like about this movie, is that Capote had the worse voice ever, other then that I gave Capote 4 out 5 Stars.
This is one of my favorite films, the costumes and the music are beautiful. Tom Hulce was good as Mozart, who has very little morals and the way he went on made me feel he was a little mad at times. Laughing But not as mad as Antonio Salieri played by F. Murray Abraham, who want's to be as good as Mozart.
This is one of my favorite Charlie Chaplin movies ever.
Chaplin does a wonderful job playing the two roles, that of his famous Little Tramp and that of Adenoid Hynkel. =)
Imagine is a beautiful insite into the life of John Lennon.
This never fails to bring a tear to my eye every time I see it.
A must see for fans of John Lennon and his music.
I really liked this move.
Tom Jane was great as Frank Castle. It kept to the story of the comic book, unlike the movie from 89' which didn't even get the copyright to be able to have The Punisher wear his trade mark t-shirt.
If you like comic book movies then this is a must see. I hope they don't take to long bringing out The Punisher 2 which is ment to be coming out.
I watched this today for the first time. I got an ex retal video of it a few months back, I wanted to see if it was as good as the 2004 movie.
Dolph Lundgren was ok as Frank Castle... But he was not as good as Tom Jane. It was better then I thought it would be.
Sin City is the best comic book movie I have ever seen.
I have never seen a comic book movie that is so spot on with the original comic.
Those that haven't seen it don't let it being in black and white put you off watching it.
I can't wait for Sin City 2 to come out next year.
The best of The Beatles movies. Ringo is sent a ruby ring from a fan and it turns out if he doesn't get it off his finger he with be a human sacrifice. What I find make this movie so funny is that a lot of The Beatles lines were ad-lib. Also has some very good song on it.
This is with out a doubt the best Punisher movie done to date. I was a big fan of the Tom Jane Punisher and I wasn't exspecting much from this seeing Tom Jane had bailed out of it. But Ray Stevenson was awesome he looked just like The Punisher how he is pictured in the comics. I can't wait to see him do another Punisher movie which he said he would really like to do.
This is one the best movies I have seen Mickey Rourke in since Sin City. It was a great story showing just what some of the heartaches that come with being a wrestler. In some ways the story of Randy reminded me a little of what one legend Jack The Snake Roberts went through with his daughter not wanting anything to do with him. It was a very touching movie which I feel Mickey desevered to win the oscar for.
I just rewatched Dummy the other day, and this is without a doubt one my fravorite movies with Milla Jovovich other then the Resident Evil movies. Adrien Brody was great in this and he even did all ventriloquism himself which just goes to show how talented actor he is.
This is one the best movies Ben Stiller has done. It is so funny, I have lost count how many times I have seen. Robert Downey Jr. is great as the australian actor, who has had an operation to make him black. I really like the opening how they make up a fake add and preview to up coming movies. I still almost piss myself laughing at the fake movie Satan's Alley.... lmfao
This is the best Batman movie so far that has ever been done. It even tops the Batman the movie that had Jack in it as The Joker. Heath Ledger was awesome as The Joker, when I first heard he was going the play the role I thought he would be no good. I was very surprised when I seen it at the movie just how great he was. I was happy he won the oscar for best supporting actor for his role as The Joker he really deserved it.
I really enjoyed this movie, I was lucky and came across it one day on "World Movies" on cable, unfortunately it is not available in Australia on DVD =(
Set during the birth of the La Movida movement in Spain from which directors like Almodóvar and music groups like Fangoria found artistic inspiration, El Calentito is a raucous, high energy comedy that is out, loud and in your face. An effervescent roller coaster ride that will definitely be nostalgic for some and influence a new generation of queers to take to the stage and kick butt.
I seen Angels & Demons today and I thought it was a very enjoyable movie. The only thing I felt that ruined it was that they cut a lot stuff that was in the novel out of the movie, it was as if they wanted to get into the action faster then was in the book but I still give this 4 stars it was well worth the long wait for it to come to the movies.
Jubilee is a movie not for everyone liking. I found that I enjoyed it more the 2nd time around. Queen Elizabeth 1 asks her court alchemist (Richard O'Brien.. Rocky Horror Picture Show) to show her what will be come of her kingdom after she is long gone. They end up in London which has been over run by Punks. Some interesting music, also some great supporting cast which includes (Adam Ant from Adam & The Ants) (Little Nell.. Rocky Horror Picture Show)
Very funny movie, I enjoyed it from the moment it started till the end. John Travolta was so funny and you can't beat Christopher Walken, who I think is a wonderful dancer, this movie lets him breakout which is great seeing he is a trained dancer and even has in his contract that any movie he is in he can do a little dance in the movie. If you enjoy Hairspray and ever get the chance try and pick up a copy of the original film by John Waters with a real young Ricki Lake.
If you seen the musical with John Travolta you should really check out the original John Waters film. I love John Waters, he really knows how to tell a story and has style of comedy all of his own. If you get a chance to see this, keep an eye out for John Waters, I laughed so much with his scenes as the Dr... LOL!
I have to say it was 100 times better then I thought it would be. Being an old fan of the original series from the 60's and being brought up on the reruns as a kid when I first heard about them going back and recasting new actors as the original crew of the Enterprise. "Zachary Quinto" (Heroes) is awesome as Spock, he looks like a young "Leonard Nimoy" and the rest of the actors were match really well to original characters except "John Cho" personally I felt he wasn't good as Hikaru Sulu. All in all It was an entertaining 2hrs and was worth the money to go see.
House On Haunted Hill is one my all time favorite Vincent Price movies. He was one the top actors in horror movies and had a voice that could send chills up your down your spine. If you ever get a chance this is a must see, just don't waste your time with the poor remake with Geoffrey Rush or it's sequall
Another one of Vincent Prices all time classics. It was the first ever 3-D color feature from a major American studio. I just wish that the 3-D version would see a DVD release so I could appreciate the film they way it was meant to be.
Based on the 1933 film, The Mystery of the Wax Museum. It is the tragic story of a devoted wax figure sculptor (Vincent Price) with a museum in 1910s New York. When his financial partner Matthew Burke (Roy Roberts) demands more sensational exhibits to increase profits, Jarrod refuses. Burke deliberately sets the museum on fire, intending to claim the insurance money. He fights off Jarrod in the process, and splashes kerosene over his body, leaving him to die in the fire. Miraculously, Jarrod survives with severe injuries, and builds a new House of Wax with help from threatening deaf-mute sculptor, Igor played by a young Charles Bronson who is still going by his real name (Charles Buchinsky) This is one movie I never get tired of seeing.
Again I warn you "DO NOT!" waste your time with the stupid remake with Paris Hilton. They totally ruined this story.
This is even better then the Tim Burton movie. George Hearn is great as Sweeney Todd and Angela Lansbury is wonderful in it. This is not a movie but the stage version which was filmed in the early 80's. The way they set up the stage is awesome. This is one very much worth seeing if you haven't.
One the best World War 2 movies. Based loosely on the true story of one the greatest prisoner war breakouts. Steve McQueen brought a bit comedy to the film and gets the title the cooler king. It also has one the most memorable scenes from a film which is the motorbike scene with Steve McQueen after he escapes. The film also has a great soundtrack and a great cast of actors.
A great modern musical/horror movie, I just watched it for the 2nd time and I still enjoyed ever second of it and thought it was a shame it only got shown in a few cinema's and didn't get a big release. It had a really good original songs and a guest appearance of legend Joan Jett in the song "Seventeen" I only hope that the 2 follow up movies that were planned get made.
An enjoyable war movie with a good cast of actors one being the great David McCallum (Man From U.N.C.L.E.) It is well filmed and use some great scenes of the Mosquito bomber planes used by the R.A.F. Worth watching if you are a fan of the World War 2 movies.
Anthony Hopkins 2nd outing as Hannibal Lecter. Was a good movie the only thing I didn't like about this movie is that they changed some the good parts from novel in the movie and even gave it a totally different ending. Out the movies Silence Of The Lambs will always be the best out the movies with Hannibal Lecter.
I finally got to see this yesterday after months of waiting to get a copy. It was a classic piece of horror film worth waiting to see. José Mojica Marins, plays such a sinister character which he took upon himself to play when the actor who was meant to play the role of Zé do Caixão aka.Coffin Joe never showed up. José Mojica Marins, Waldomiro França, Magda Mei came up with a very entertaining script. If you can get a copy of this movie then it is well worth your time to watch.
I finally got around to seeing Twilight after being told for months that I needed to see it. I must say it was a lot better then I thought it was going to be, it wasn't your average vampire/horror movie which I like a lot it didn't just rely on one bloody death after another. I look forward to seeing the next movie when it comes out.
One Clint's great westerns which he produced and also directed. This has been a favorite of mine since I was very young. I love the scene when he first comes into town and this gang are giving "Micheal Moriarty" a going over and "Clint" just wipes the lot them out with a pick axe handle and doesn't break a sweat. I wont say what part this story I really like cause I hate to give the back story to who "Clint" is away.
Out Josey Wales is an action packed western. Another one Clint's great western movies this one set at the end of the American Civil War. In 1996, the film was placed in the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in their National Film Registry. It is considered by many enthusiasts to be one of the greatest westerns ever made, including the late Johnny Carson and Eastwood himself, who has been quoted as saying that The Outlaw Josey Wales is his favorite of all the movies he has made.
I seen Watchmen earlier tonight, I picked up a copy of the 2 disc dvd directors cut. I loved it, it was as good as I thought it would be. It is a must for lovers of movies based on comic books. This movie had some of the best CGI I have seen, the way they did "Rorschach" mask was awesome. In short I am happy they were able to make a movie of Watchmen that could live up to the Comic by the great Alan Moore.
