I was too scared to watch this movie when I was younger, I used to be extremely afraid of scary movies, but after getting used to them, I could finally watch this.
Truly a fantastic movie. The story was awesome and I thought Geena Davis was great! I thought the ending was the best way to end this movie. You really feel sorry for Seth Brundle and I really felt like crying at times. ;_;
***SPOILER WARNING***
What I love most about this movie, it's in the end when Seth realizes he isn't going to be human anymore, he becomes so desperate to become human he even sacrifices his love and their unborn baby. That is pure desperation of a man who is loosing his life and it's just not something you see a "good" character do.
I also love how the "bad guy", Veronicas ex boyfriend, Stathis Borans (who is the jealous, seriousy annoying guy) steps up in the end to save her. If this would have been the regular Hollywood ending (ala Fly 2), you'd know that Seth would have switched DNA with the "bad guy" and become human again. Instead, Stathis saves Veronica and her unborn babys life.
The ending is still so sad. ;_; Oh god, I get so sad when Seth is merged together with parts of the broken telepod. When the music plays dramatically and it says "Fusion of Brundlefly and telepod successful", that leaves such a big lump in my throat. When he crawls out in agonazing pain, unable to talk anymore, he crawls over to Veronica and puts the end of the gun against his head, moaning in pain, begging her to end his life. ;_;
Ironically, I was watching this movie because I was irritated with Jeff Goldblum from watching Jurassic Park 2, I wanted to see him in agony. I could never imagine being this sad instead. ;_;
I can understand why Jeff Goldblum didn't get an Oscar for his acting in the movie. I thought he was dull when "normal", it is only when he slowly transforms his acting is shining.
I also thought the movie worked as a love story, though it's not so much screentime for the love, because you can instantly see what Veronica likes about Seth that she dosen't like about Stathis. Seth is a goof, he is funny and just an overall fun guy to be with. Stathis is very serious all the time and waltzes into Veronicas apartment and takes a shower, so yeah, I kinda get why she broke up with him. He wasn't that awful of a person per se, he was the one helping Veronica make all the decisions when she was crying and frustrated, but i can see how she and him wouldn't work as a couple.

Very entertaining movie about Andy Kaufman, Andy is very hard to say really what was "wrong" with him, I guess you will never know. The acting was fantastic! Jim Carey nails Andy Kaufman perfectly, if you watch real performances by Andy Kaufman it's very hard to tell them apart. I also like how the movie begins, it always makes me laugh.

I remember watching this movie in the cinema when I was little, and it's no surprise it became so popular.
The effects are truly amazing for its time, the dinosaurs looks so real they could be standing next to you. Even now this movie looks so much better than a lot of movies that are getting made today.
The story is very interesting, and the characters along with it are alright, it wouldn't hurt the movie to had a more interesting set of characters, but I don't watch it for them, I watch it for the dinosaurs.
My favorite scene of all time, no matter what movies I will ever watch, will always be the scene where it rains and the T-rex comes. I have watched this scene a gazillion of times and I keep rewinding to watch it again.
This movie do have a lot of issues (obviously cut scenes, silly ending, annoying family humor), but in the end, the effects make you overlook the faults.

First time I watched this movie, I found it boring and hard to keep up with. But every day I keep returning to watch this movie again and again, and the more I watch it the more I enjoy it. The acting is truly one of the best I have ever seen, Martin Landau is PERFECT as Bela Lugosi. Other actors are also outstanding, especially Johnny Depp.

The story about one of the most important persons in history. Very touching, excellent acting and the music is beautiful too.
Imagine you are the kindest of person, all you want to do is show your kindness and love to other people. But everybody is disgusted by you, they hate you. Why? Because you look like a monster... That is the life of Joseph (incorrectly called John in the movie), until he meets Dr Treves who tries his best to give him a decent life.
I always get so upset watching this movie and see what people do to Joseph, happy for him once he gets accepted and I still believe he did not try commit suicide, I believe he wanted to try to sleep like a normal person, then was unable to recover from his dream, which caused him to choke to death. At least I feel a sense of relief knowing he died without being in pain... in which he had spent most of his life being.
Rest in Peace, Joseph, you were truly an angel sent from heaven to earth.

This movie was so unintentionally funny! I was laughing so hard, especially this: "They are eating her... they are going to eat me... oh my GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!"
This movie is terrible in every way possible, the funniest thing must be that the movie is truly taking itself seriously!!
The mother actor was soooo terrible, she looks like a psychopath and talks like one! "GO TO BED. I LOVE YOU. GOOD NIGHT."
I was seriously crying and screaming with laughter while watching this, this movie was just SO terrible!
****SPOILER WARNING***
The funniest thing about this movie, besides it tries to be serious, is that the movie is aimed at 13+, but the story seemed more like a Disney movie. Kid sees dead grandfathers ghost, the ghost tells him to beware of Goblins. Then family moves to a town called... NILBOG. Hm, hm, hm, what is Nilbog backwards? Oh my god! It's Goblin!!! It actually takes a good 20 minutes before the youngest in the family actually discovers this.
The story just gets dumber and dumber, in the town Nilbog lives Goblins that are disguised as humans and they hate meat, so they transform people into vegetables and eats them. XD The town-meeting seriously made me laugh unstoppably for 5 minutes. Mayor: We hate meat! Uninterested towns people: .........yeah... Mayor: And we hate hot dogs!!! Uninterested towns people: ...........yuck. Mayoer: And we hate hamburgers!!!! Uninterested towns people: ................ew. I was laughing so much I was laughing through the whole part when things got suspensful (if you can even call it that!)
The plot gets EVEN DUMBER. There's a witch in town and she transform people into trees. (???!!!) So she transforms a guy into a tree, so scary. XD The dumbest thing is that the witch seduces another teenage guy, and while doing it, she tempts him to eat a corn and says "We are going to get hot!" What do you know, when they get "hot" popcorns starts flying!!
Ending is the stupidest. Grandfathers ghost appears and tells them "The only thing that can defeat Goblins is the power of happiness!", so the family touches a rock and think happy thoughts and the goblins die!!
The masks of the Goblins are ugly, but there is one of them that made me scream and cry with laughter. The son in the family has a nightmare that his family has turned into goblins. The dad and mom has ugly masks... but OH MY GOD!!! The sisters mask is beyond words!!!! And because of the low-budget, that mask returns several times in the movie.

One of the best acting EVER! This is really not my type of movie, but once I start watching I can't stop!
What I love most about this movie is that you don't get introduced to the patients like "that's him and that's what is wrong with him", insetad, you watch and see them and you learn what is wrong with them. All the characters have their own special personality and they all feel so real, I really feel like I'm sitting beside them in one of their sessions. The acting is just jaw-dropping great, acting mentally instable without looking silly is hard, none of the actors ever look silly in this movie.

I watched this movie all the time when I was little, I think the poor casette is worn out by now.
This movie ALWAYS makes me cry. ;_; This movie is so depressing at times it makes me want to reach into the screen and hug Littlefoot.
When I was a kid, I used to be terrified of Sharp Tooth, so when I was little - most of the crying was in fear. XD This movie is very violent and depressing for being a kids movie, but I still feel that the movie in some way important, because it deals with death in a subtle yet understandable way.

A very dark movie, I was so scared when I watched this movie when I was little I always cried. Now I'm not so scared anymore, but the movie still gives me the creeps. Amalthea's personality is so sweet, yet she is so brave.

Beautiful animation and songs, and I just love the personalities of the characters in the movie.
The beast, who is actually a prince, isn't "perfect" like all the other princes in the other movies, they step out like from a dream and instantly love the princess and have no personality what-so-ever. Beast however is rude, loud, selfish... you name it, he is your worst nightmare. But Belle's kindness changes him, slowly, but surely. And it's not your average "I'm sorry, let's kiss and make up" stuff, the beast refuses to admit he is wrong, but after a lot of arguing with Belle, he realizes he is. He realizes he gains so much more from being kind. Because he was spoiled as a child, he never learned about kindness. But Belle is persistent and she and the Beast falls in love.
I also like the Belle has personality, unlike the other princesses she isn't shallow, she is smart and she loves to read. And when somebody does something that she dosen't like, she speaks her mind.
The only thing I don't like about this movie is that there only seems to excist two men in Belle's age, Gaston who is rude and selfish, and then there's Beast. Come on Disney, just because there would be a third guy who would be nice dosen't mean Belle would instantly fall in love with him! They just made it very convinient that there was only Gaston and Beast and not a third guy.

Sherman! Sherman Sherman! I LOVE Sherman Klump's personality, this movie is both funny and at the same time it gives a good view on that it's not easy being overweight because people judge you. Eddie Murphy is BRILLIANT in this movie!

I can understand why many people don't like this movie, many things are left un-explained after the movie ends. Like why do Eric and Ariel fall in love? Why is Ursula evil? For me though, I don't mind it, I think the fast pace of the movie makes up for the things left un-explained. It's not like we got to know why all the other female elephants are bullies while Dumbo's mom is kind, but the movie works anyway.
The songs in this movie are great, I love "Part of your World", I sing it almost every day. The animation is beautiful too, I always love the opening sequence.

I remember seeing this movie many years ago and thought it was a 3 hour torture, but now that I appreciate feelings from the characters, I decided to give it another try. The movie was so good I couldn't sleep that night, I had to watch it to the end!
Watching Titanic is a very emotional journey, Rose (Kate Winslet) has a "perfect" high status life, but she is married to an awful man and is never appreciated by her family and gets so depressed she wants to jump off Titanic, but Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) stops her from doing it, telling her he will jump with her if she does it. If you have been at that low of your life, this scene becomes so important to you, you wish yourself you'd have a Jack who was ready to go down with you.
As the movie goes on, Jack and Rose falls in love, but it's more than your average "oh, let's fall in love and kiss like mad" cliché, Jack teaches Rose to be free and be herself, taking her out of her social prison. The more time she spends with Jack, the happier she becomes. But her fiancée on the other hand, oh my god, I wanted to reach into the screen and strangle him! He is so selfish and only wants to marry Rose for her money, slapping her when he dosen't get his way with her.
I also think they handled the actual sinking of Titanic well, they could have completely ruined this movie by adding silly survival scenes and make Leonardo's characters a comic superhero. But they make it out of danger in a way that you feel that you could do that too, it dosen't feel overdone or silly. And it's also interesting to see that it's actually Rose saving Jack, instead of the cliché that "the prince shall save the princess".
The ending is so very sad, it was really hard not to cry.

Freaks
(1932, Unrated)
It's Sideshow Freaks - what more can you ask for? The story is rather silly, but you don't watch this movie for the story, you watch it for the Freaks. During the time this movie was made, people who looked different were looked upon as freaks, they were not accepted as normal people. Just being able to see these people, how they walk, how they function is just amazing. Especially Johnny Eck who was born without legs, he walks on his hands without a problem. (Actually he has legs, but they are extremely underdeveloped and small and couldn't be used for walking) And the armless ladies who uses their feets and legs to drink a glass of water. And the siamese twins Daisy and Violet Hilton moves so gracefully, it's hard to think they are siamese twins. And not to forget Schlitzie, who has the intelligence of a 3 year old, he is so adorable! He is called "she" in this movie, because he was excibited as a female, because it was easier to... well, look up info about him and you know why it was easier taking care of him wearing a dress.

Love it! There are many spoofs of horror movies that works very well without even having to see the original one, even the "Budweiser Commercial" spoof works very well, I actually thought the joke was funnier before I saw the original commercial. My favorite part is that redhead who refuses to simply die and keeps on nagging!

This movie is great, it makes fun of Disney and other kid-movies with all the musical numbers. The songs are great, they are not just create within minutes, all the songs have great rememberable melodies, all without sounding just like the other. I especially loved Satan's song, which makes fun of Disneys characters always singing a song about wanting to be somewhere else.

It is very dark and sinister for a sequel, usually sequals are "spending christmas together" or some other mushy stuff, but this time prince gets into trouble and Snow White needs to help him.
Some things in the movie are also very emotional, which adds to the feeling that this wasn't just the regular "make some money sequel" that Disney keeps making nowadays.
And the best thing? This movie is HILARIOUS! I don't think I've laughed so much watching a movie before, that Owl is so funny!

This is, without a doubt, one of the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. But the thing is, everything is so bad it's FUNNY!
You get the worst special effects movie-world has to offer, especially the Komodo looks out of place, it looks like a bad computer model places onto a photograph. They don't even share the same lightning!
Unforgettable stupid death scenes, like the guy who gets his foot stuck on a fence, but because of the bad animation, turns to stone until the Komodo walks by and eats him because they couldn't animate both at the same time! So the guy just stands there, with his foot on a fence, while the Komodo slowly walks up to him and then eats him - It's soooooo bad!
The worst acting ever. The heroine? whatever her name was witness a man dying in her arms after being slimed with Komodo saliva. She cries, boo-hoo, she is so upset. Then she gets up, now in a good mood and asks "What are we going to do now?" in a cheery voice.
The worst ending ever? no, wait, "Snakes on a Train" was worse, but this ending is really bad.
I've laughed more watching this movie than some comedys!

I only watched this movie because I wanted to see more of T.K Carter - and I'm so glad I did! This movie so funny, it takes A LOT to make me laugh out loud - and I was doing it a lot in this movie! The dialogue is hilarious, there's always a little joke to keep the pace going. T.K Carter is great, his characters Chester is so funny! The acting is great, I enjoy watching great acting after seeing so many poor-quality productions with horrible acting.
I'll definately will be watching this movie over again, because there are so many funny comments I'll need to watch this a hundred times over to remember them all!

Sicko
(2007, PG-13)
This is a very important documentary, I was almost in tears at the end of it. I had no idea how awful the health care was in the US, that the health care industry was all about making money and giving all excuses to not give treatment. This movie made me think, because on the never-ending lists of what sicknesses you can't have to get insurance, there was "Autism", which I am diagnosed with (Highfunctioning Autism). What if the same thing happened here? Just a while ago, 4 shops in my country was accused of re-packing meat, though it was against the law, to save money. And it was proven with hidden cameras that it was true. It sickened me that they would risk their costumers health to gain more money, than to pay for the loss of having to throw away old meat.
How can you turn away people who need help? I honestly would NEVER do it, even if they would pay me a million dollars. If I was one of the persons who turned away the people who died, I could never look at myself again. It especially sickened me that the people who helped during 9/11 wasn't given any treatment if they couldn't prove they had been working in the disaster zone, because the health care industry wanted to save money! I was so glad in the end when they went to Cuba and got the treatment they needed - FOR FREE.
After watching this, I want to live in France. Seriously.

Very sweet movie, very emotional. Tod and Coopers relation is true, it's hard to imagine them just being animals, because you truly feel their friendship as if they were real humans.

This movie is hilarious!!!!! I laugh everytime I watch this, I actually rented it twice just to laugh at it again!
***SPOILER WARNING****
There are so many stupid things in this movie, but one thing really takes the cake. A guy is standing outside the powerplant and talks on his cellphone, when he hangs up the tornado is 3 meters behind him and sucks him up!!! How couldn't he hear it?????
Actually, I think the mother saying "I love you" to her son just before getting sucked up into a tornado is the worst example...
Another dumb example, in the powerplant, radiation is somehow leaking in a room, so one of the persons there (4 people) has to sacrifice themselves and stop the leaking, they have only 4 minutes to do it. They decide the ugliest guy should go. So what do they do? .....they stand there.... FOR 2 MINUTES!!!!! They do NOTHING!!!! One person actually says "Now we only have 2 minutes left" and the characters have just been standing there!!! That made me laugh so hard I couldn't take the death of that guy serious....
Other stupid things
- Kid knows how to get the vinch (sp?) working on a police car. Why didn't my parents teach me this?? - The whole powerplant stuff is stupid. I don't know much about how powerplants works, but it all seemed stupid. A) It is run by 4 people? B) Mayor things can be shut down with some button? Located where kids and people walk on tours? C) Personal having to call some company on how to do in dangerous situations? D) Can only call people via a satellite that instantly gets smashed during a tornado? - 5 year old running faster than his mom? Wow, she must have been SLOW, because she was several meters behind...

I can't read books (because of concentration issues), but this is one of the best Stephen King movies. Not very scary, but the story is excellent.

The role of the crazy nurse was obviously written for Bette Middler, you can hear the way Kathy Bates talks that it was written for Bette's voice. It's very hard when you try to act "somebody else" role, but Kathy does an outstanding job, she is perfect for the role - even better than Bette Midler could possibly do it!
This is how true horror movies should be, this movie dosen't rely on gore, it relies on being terrified of a person you are trapped with. I had seen this movie before, but had forgotten some things in the movie, so I was extremely nervous when watching this - Kathy Bates is so perfect!

It's a classic, though the effects look kind of funny today (sorry, I always laugh when I see King Kong!), they are amazing for it's time and that's the reason I watch the movie. I love stop-go animation. The story also seem so perfect, flowing like a river, that it dosen't feel forced or dumb. Fay Wray is fantastic! I don't give it 5 simply because I think the part where King Kong attacks the city lasts too long.
