Rain of Fire Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The end is near! Citizens protest! Worldwide panic spreads across the globe! A nuclear holocaust threatens us all! The monstrous beast will rise from the ocean to consume all life! Earth will become a scorched wasteland!
Who ought to care about why the hell this movie punctuates so much on the Apocalypse? The Italians certainly had been ashamed of making this film in the first place! Even our priests who run the churches would be in for a mass uproar about the falsity this delivers. But heck, this is the movies!
Words cannot describe this sordid, terrible drama, acting more of a drunken Shakespearean play about nuclear fear than anything else. A poor planning in developing a good story and lousy writing makes this the perfect glass of sour milk. One of our best well-known movie stars, Kirk Douglas, has a few embarrassing performances, one of which is when he stands out naked in front of visions of rising monsters from the ocean. Also, it makes a failed attempt at showing off any suspenseful magic about the supernatural. Either it is Douglas who thinks the Great Flood has come, or just a coincidence of Mother Nature rising the ocean tide.
The movie actually gets a further beating on trying to be a meaningless horror / splatter film, which wants to show off uselessly. HOLOCAUST 2000 is good if you want to see Kirk Douglas star in a movie so horrifying in its pitiful execution and directing skills. What does this movie want to be when it fouls up? A DOOMSDAY BOMB!

Tell Them Anything You Want (2010) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I loved this film! Having read many of Sendak's books as a child it was wonderful to revisit the stories that filled my childhood and learn about their fascinating author and illustrator. Jonze and Bangs create an intimate and moving portrait of a brilliant man. Sendak's own personal life is filled with rich stories and his sense of humor is infectious. I would recommend this doc, if you ever read one of Sendak's books you need to learn about this amazing artist.

Steal Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Not a great action, but still slick and entertaining in its own way enough, the titles 'Steal' (aka 'Riders') tell you all. It's about the charming (so they think) young boys and girls who steal, or rob, and who can ride, or do some extreme sports while running away. Picture to yourself 'XXX' without Vin and Samuel, and you will get a close image of this French film shot in Montreal, Canada.
The stars are, Stephen Dorff (as the leader of the thieves), Natasha Henstridge (as the detective who fell for him), Bruce Payne (as the boss in the police force), Steven Berkoff with a terrible wig, who plays the role of 'Surtayne,' a preacher in a small chapel who is actually a greedy crook. That means, he is doing it again, I mean, very ridiculously hammy performance. You either leave it, or enjoy it. And the director Gerard Pires is from France, the one behind the camera of the original 'TAXI,' a huge hit in France, which spawned two sequels and a Hollywood remake.
The plot is non-existent like 'XXX.' Well, that's about the four young thieves led by Dorff who is so charming that during the bank robbery the girls can look at him adoringly even at gunpoint. And when they run away form the police, they don't run -- they roller skate in the street, like ninjas.
But someone knows their identity, and that someone starts to threaten them. To make things more complicated, another guy knows the truths, too, so the young nice-looking leader Slim (it's Dorff's character) and his friends have to think of the way to get out of the difficulty.
MY ADVICE: Don't think while watching. The dialogues are often silly, the situations impossible. Acting? Forget about it. All I can say about the film is it's far, far better than watching 'Fear Dot Com' or 'SFW,' both of which did great harm to Stephen Dorff's career. And as to Ms. Henstrige, who is as beautiful as ever, and Payne as typecast as ever, you can easily imagine what they would do in this film. In short, nothing new.
THE BEST PART is its stunts. As in the original Frnech 'TAXI,' the director gives us well-choreographed action scenes with stylish photography. It's certainly a rare thing for us to watch a huge truck keep on running completely lopsided to the right. Kudos to the first-rate stunt crew.
'Steal' (or 'Riders') is exactly the film you enjoy watching, drinking beer and eating popcorn. You will spend the amusing 85 minutes, and that's all. But that's not a bad experience after all.

Sesame Street - Mother Goose (1997) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this video for my granddaughter, who is just over 2. She loves it and so do I! One poor dog, Simon, does not know how to rhyme and his mother(Mother Goose's daughter) is trying to help him by going over Mother Goose rhymes. It is clever and very funny for the adults. The children are listening to rhymes that I think all children should be exposed to and enjoying the dogs because they are so funny. Much better to watch with a child than those cartoon videos. My granddaughter always asks me to play the dogs.

The Pennsylvania Miners' Story (2002) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This made-for-tv movie is based on a real life incident in 2002, when nine Pennsylvania coal miners were trapped for three days when water flooded their mine. Partially shot at the Quecreek mine, where the accident happened, this movie is a realistic look at what the miners had to do to survive, as well as what their families went through while waiting for the miners to be rescued.
At just 90 minutes long, this is a fast paced and thrilling movie. The miners and their families are introduced in quick segments at the beginning of the movie and then the film moves right into the mine flooding and the miners struggle to say alive. The film alternates scenes in the mine with scenes of the miners families waiting at the fire hall for news of their loved ones.
The filmmakers do a good job filming the scenes with the trapped miners to the point where I felt claustrophobic watching some of the mine scenes. Even though I knew the miners all got out safely, I was on the edge of my seat watching them struggle in the water. The scenes with the families are, with one or two exceptions, emotional without being cloying.
I really enjoyed this movie and recommend it to fans of movies based on real-life events.

Barney Goes to School (1992) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I taught pre-school for over 10 years. My Barney Goes to School tape was replaced 3 times. When my daughter was born, I had to go to e-bay to find another one. Before she was three, she knew the days of the week (and that there were 7) what colors mixed together made other colors, shapes ect. She began to read at 4, and now at 6 reads on a 4th grade level. I have to give a lot of credit to Barney for her love of learning. Now, my younget is a big Barney fan. I will be getting this tape for her also. We have had a lot of Barney tapes, but this one is by far the best!
Thanks, Barney, for all the fun!

Riding in Barney's Car (1992) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of my very favorite "Barney & Friends" episodes. It has some of my all-time favorite characters: Barney, Shawn, Kathy, Carlos, and Min, and it's a great show all around. Barney imagines how much fun it would be to drive a car, so the kids decide to make him one. While Kathy and Shawn distract Barney in the classroom, Min and Carlos build the car. After that, they surprise Barney with the car. Barney promises to take them for a ride after he goes to a few places first--the car wash, dry cleaner's, library, Shawn's Snappy Snacks, and the gas station. Then, the kids go on a ride in the car with Barney, and they have fun listening to music on the radio. I recommend this show to any Barney lover! It's great!

D2 - The Mighty Ducks (1994) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Buena Vista (the company that releases Disney films on DVD) chose to not release anamorphic DVDs when they first came to DVD, so none of these films are anamorphically enhanced. This means, if you have a widescreen television, you will have black bars on all four sides of the picture. Also, these discs are absolutely barebones, only featuring a Dolby 2.0 soundtrack and a 1.85:1 widescreen presentation. Where are the extras?! I don't know about you guys, but I am a Mighty Duck fan who is disappointed by the DVD releases of these films.

After the Sunset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The soundtrack is fun, playful, varied, sexy and sun splashed, much like the film. The songs range from the bouncy and light Lyttle's "I Got It" to the much hard edged Rank's "A Who Seh Me Dun". Highlights are the insanely giddy, joyful and danceable "The Pineapple Song" by Good Size that plays over the credits in the film, the sexy rhythmic "Mr Boombastic" by Shaggy (listen for the Marvin Gaye "Let's get it on" riffs), the faster driving chanting fun of "Cobrastyle" by the Teddybears, Rupee's wonderful mix of joy and mourning in "You Never Know", and the sheer shivery throaty sex appeal of Maria Rita's "Agora Sa Falta Voce".
The Amazon track listings are incorrect. It omits The Pineapple Song which is track #7. And lists two songs that are not on the soundtrack: Gal You A Lead and Wah Di Time.

Luther the Geek Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sorry for the ridiculous title but this crazy film deserves nothing less. "Luther the Geek" is a basic slasher movie containing a few things that truly set it apart from most. First, the actor who portrays Luther does an excellent job at portraying a seriously deranged psychotic. I don't know of too many actors who could pull off the fact that their only dialouge consists of squawking like a chicken, yet not make it seem funny. Second, a generally twisted feel overall that culminates in a very unsettling ending. The film also has a clausterphobic feel to it as most of the action takes place in or around an isolated farmhouse, somewhat in a "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" mold. The gore effects are generally good with the vomiting blood scene being the most shocking. "Luther the Geek" is simply a disturbing movie that is one of my guilty pleasures, check it out. One note, since Troma acquired this, they have tacked on a rather obscene prolouge with Lloyd Kaufman introducing the film. Normally his stuff is kind of funny, this one is just tasteless.

Just Ask My Children (2001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently viewed this movie on TV and decided to order it for my own use. You see the Kern County Witchhunt was not limited to Kern County; it extended into Tulare County also. I know because my family has been living a nightmare because of false charges of child molestation since 1985. God instructed me to create a support group for innocent prisoners in 1989 which I did. I wrote several articles about false accusations in Tulare County for a local Tulare County newspaper and one article for a small newspaper in Bakersfield, California concerning the subject of false charges of child molestation. My son, daughter, and me was on a local radio station in Kern County two times discussing this subject. I named a name of local police officer who terrorized little children into lying about their parents. As a result, it was pay back time for me and after they along with others succeeded in brainwashing my grown daughter into saying I told her not to testify, that God would not like it and that she could be gotten for perjury, I spent over 5 years in prison for witness intimidation for allegingly stating the statements that my daughter claimed I said, but I never even talked to her about testifying at all. I was totally innocent and am currently on supervise release for another 2 years. Anyone who does not believe that thousands of parents in Kern,Tulare,Kings,Fresno,Butte,San Bernadino counties were imprisoned on false charges of child molestation is highly wrong because it truly did occur in the Child Abuse War of the 1980's. This movie is really a representation of the thousands who suffered as a result of this abuse against the family and I am thankful that this excellent movie was made.

Girl in Captivity: Hitwoman in Chains 2 (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This isn`t a sub-standard entry in the genre, not by any means, it`s just more of the same, and after viewing as many of these films as I have in my lifetime, I`m always hoping for a new twist or something more, and therein lies my lackluster afterthoughts. With these flix, plot is immaterial, only the self-delusional claim to purchase them for any other reason, these are promoted as 'Cinema Erotique' so we`re evaluating it`s exploitative value, not its cinematic one. The lead actress is fairly plain but looks great in a latex S+M outfit and naked in chains, and the only other woman in the film, a femme fatale, is sexier and has that "love you long time" sleaziness about her, and I mean that as praise. The story is similiar to all of the 'Zero Woman' series, nothing unfamiliar again, but on the plus side, there is ample nudity and a perversity that elevates it somewhat. If I wasn`t so friggin' jaded, I`d give it 4 stars (and it probably deserves it as exploitation) but I personally think these flix were done better in the 70`s than they are today. There was more to them then, an indefinable something that makes folks continue to remake them incessantly, but with shoddier results...

All American Orgy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I started watching this movie on a whim and knew almost from the start it was going to be like a train wreck that you just can't look away from.
At first it seems like these three couples have girls that are good friends so they decided to try this new adventure. None of the guys really like each other, but hey, they all want to give this a try too. It turns out that the weekend was the idea of one guy who is a sick jerk who has no problem with treating women like property or meat. One of the guys is a alcoholic drug addict who has no problems with laying around all day waiting for his girlfriend to come home to take care of him. The last guy is very uptight, but not in a funny or endearing way. The women are likable enough, but not enough to save this movie.
This movie has one or two funny lines surrounded by a bunch of trash, including lots of crass names for female genitalia, and using these names to identify the women themselves.
So I sat through the movie waiting for that moment of train wreck that made it all worthwhile. It NEVER happened.
The worst part of the movie is the lack of resolution. Nothing changes or gets fixed. I almost wanted to stand up and shout at the TV "Really? That was it? Really?" The characters do not improve, the dysfunctional relationships do not change, nothing.
There was nothing sexy and not much funny about this movie. Do not waste your time.

Pitcher and the Pin-Up Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The other day at the video store my wife found this movie. We hadnt heard much about it. My wife brought the movie home.
This movie is a real find. One of those romance movies that will touch your heart.
The movie starts out with Danny Foster (Drew Johnson) and Melissa Curtis (Corinna Harney-Jones).
They grow up together as best friends. However all the time she is in denial of their love for each other.
He persues his baseball career and puts her initials on the mound everytime he pitches for good luck. She is simply unable to keep from thinking about him. I wont tell you much more about the movie because I dont want to ruin it. This is a movie that makes you feel good as you root for the two of them to finally be together.
Watch this movie with that special someone in your life.

Straight From the Heart (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm more of an "Aliens" sort of girl than a romance fan, but I have to admit to absolutely loving this movie. I guess I'm just a sappy romantic at heart. This film's been airing on the Hallmark Channel, and I find myself watching it over and over, to the point where I came here to find out if it was on DVD. Thank goodness it is!
I particularly appreciated the cinematography and settings, and well... okay. I really appreciated Andrew McCarthy in his jeans. :) As a mustang adopter and advocate, I can't say that the depiction of mustangs and the BLM (called the "DLM" in the film) is really terribly accurate, but I'm EXTREMELY gratified to see a film even approaching the question of wild horse management in such a positive way. (Of course, when it comes to training mustangs, I wouldn't try this at home; while we see Tyler using some pretty decent training methods, he's also working with a domestic quarter horse rather than a range-fresh mustang; the real thing doesn't tend to go that fast or easy. ;))
I think they did a nice job of making the characters both believable and likeable, and the various conflicts and situations actually make sense, unlike too many films where things could just be resolved if the characters would stop behaving like morons. :) Andrew McCarthy does a really nice job as a gruff cowboy type... and he certainly sits a horse well, too.
