Argo (2012)
Lies and propaganda
My review was approved at first by IMDb, but then the next day they silently removed it without any notification! This NEVER happened to me or friends of mine before, so this movie must get a lot of bad reviews that they try to limit, I guess! Well here it is again, assuming IMDb "made a mistake" (which in this case is hard to imagine). To IMDb: If you do not place this review, that please re-instate the old approved one, thanks!
Mr. Affleck does his normal wooden acting, earns some millions, gets the awards they promised him, gets his head on the poster and DVD packaging etc for vanity reasons. And the rest of the team never thought about anything but the money they would earn from making this film, not about the effects of it.
Some effects:
Canadians hate that the escape looks like an American CIA operation, just Google: "Canadian Caper" and find the real info on Wikipedia. This film says it is based on a true story, but that is hardly the case.
Iranians hate that they are portrayed as stupid/bad guys, when they brought forth numerous arts, artists, and renowned scientists, and their land is used as only a background for riots, while they are peace-loving people just like you and me and their land has great nature and landscapes. Also the Persian Empire is the oldest empire in the world that has brought more to humanity than you know, just Google Persian contributions to humanity, the list is very long and nowhere near complete.
Everybody that is involved in making the world a better place will boycott these hate filled movies from Hollywood, especially with Ben Affleck and the producers of this film involved, but not exclusively.
Best tip: grab a camera yourself and make your own film that shows us the truth, instead of these Hollywood lies.
A lot of people have done this, and by now most people know that we all are ruled by non-tax paying corporations with puppet politicians on a leash. That is what globalization is about. For these people and organizations, you are only good for providing cheap workforce, paying taxes and spending your money, oh and to keep your mouth shut and belief their propaganda.
One day this whole system will collapse, cause hate and greed will only lead to more hate and greed.
Voetbalvrouwen (2007)
Give me a barfbag please!
Awful overacting, good actors that are wasted and non-actress Leontine Borsato to top it all off! They thought "Gooische Vrouwen" gets good rating, lets just do "Voetbal Vrouwen", then that will get good ratings as well! How creative... NOT! When will they stop making this absolute junk. Why do people like Johan Nijenhuis get money for making filth like this? It is pointless to watch his, there is no suspense, no good story, no humour.. you only see the wifes of soccerplayers portrayed like what they supposed to be like, stupid women that are only into money and shopping. Why would you want to waste good time to see that? It still hurts that you can't vote a 0 instead of a 1 at IMDb.
Zombiegore (2003)
A lot of fun! But not for everyone....
This movie has the tagline "Another 90 minutes of your life will be wasted by watching this movie!" that is why it's obvious that it's not a good movie to begin with.
So if you are warned in this way but still think of it as a serious production, and even criticize it and compare it to serious attempts at making a zombie movie, then I really think you miss the point.
The film makers obviously had a lot of fun making this movie, and its clearly not meant for everybody, to say the least.
Luckily, there are a lot of people who like obscure amateurfilms like this one, and for others I would say, as the tagline already said: Do not waste your time on this movie, you are warned.
Bad Boys (1983)
Great DVD,the full 123 minutes, and a great message to kids nowadays as well.
It's great that you can get the full version of this great film now on Anchor Bay DVD. And it has a commentary track by director Rosenthal too.
Like most people, I saw this film for the first time when I was 17, about the same age as the thugs in this movie. At that time, I had to fight a lot myself because I was living in a bad environment. Somehow it was even more realistic to me then.
It is still a great movie to me now, some performances are a bit over the top, but still it is a great movie 'cause it works on an emotional level. You get to feel a sense of hopelessness, cause the "correctional" part of the detention center is not really there.
They only get worse in there. Especially when they get your arch enemy to be in the same place with you. Then it is stupid to say stuff like "do not fight" and "stay cool" cause it's inevitable that someone wants revenge, when emotions take over and reason goes right out the door. But it's stupid to take revenge, 'cause it never stops.
Nowadays, especially in stupid Rap and R&b video's and in the lyrics, very dumb messages are sent to kids that state that gang life is cool and there is nothing more important than having a lot of money, a big house, cars and women that are often referred too as nothing more then "bitches" and "whores", and also make statements about revenge on others.
Even on MTV there is this zero braincell show called "Cribs" that shows these stupid people talking only about their material possessions, thus stating indirectly the message that this is what is very important.
I recommend this film to everyone who thinks positively of gang life and revenge, cause it's not cool at all.
Enough (2002)
Ban J-Lo!! Total garbage from the over-commercial J-LO
J-Lo is evil. First she wanted to appeal to the Latino market, telling everybody she came from latino areas of the bronx. Then she wanted to suck up to the African American audience, so she marries a black man, like P-diddy when he was popular.
When she wants to suck up to the white audience, she dates Ben Affleck, because his career goes up. She made The wedding planner, a "romantic" piece of garbage made for the female market. And now she wants to appeal to(abused) women with this "how to learn to kick your husband in 3 weeks " piece of utter trash.
Believe me, she is pure evil and will stop at nothing to earn money. Even when doing a charity event she has a 45.000 dollar wishlist. There is proof on the internet about this. Please ban all her outings.
Tom & Thomas (2002)
It's a mystery why this movie was not marketed on a larger scale..
Being one of the people who were an extra in this movie, I still wonder why this movie did get so little attention, I think the distribution company had a too busy release list to really pay attention to this rather good movie.
Off course he was very concentrated on set, so I did not get to speak to him, but everybody knows Sean Bean as a fine actor, and also Aaron and the rest of the cast and crew did their best.
So that's why I think it's a shame, after so much hard work, that the movie received so little marketing effort. See the movie, it's really nice.
I am grateful for the experience of being a part of this movie, and will do everything I can to make my own movie, which I am currently producing, a great success.
Braindead (1992)
Some of my best friends are pedophiles
"Some of my best friends are pedophiles" is said at one point in this movie, just like "I kick ass for the Lord" and other great twisted one-liners. Well, you read the reviews, what are you doing here? Go see Braindead, 'cause if you did not see it yet, you haven't been
alive (maybe you were bitten by the Ratmonkey??) and you are missing out on one of the funniest and goriest movies ever made. Peter Jackson rules.. I like all his movies. How many directors have achieved that?
I like the fact that he has won the Bafta award now, maybe more recognition will finally come. Being an actor, I hope I will play a part in one of his movies, he has a grat sense of humour, that's for sure, and with LOTR he has proven he can also make a fantastic epic tale come alive. Carry on, Peter!!
The One (2001)
The One to avoid!!!
I sincerely wish Jet Li all the best, but this movie is nothing short of unoriginal. First, there are extreme similarities with the movie "Highlander" like in this story, there can be only One (I'm sure you know the story from the other reviews) and the end- battle is also the same storyline. Further there come "the Matrix" again with all the uniformed men and the shooting and the walking against walls by Jet Li. If you love stuff like this, it's ok. If you want something original, than wait and hope the action-genre makers stop mixing the same movies together and serve them as something new. I hope Li can show his talents in a better storyline next time.
Sexy Beast (2000)
Tension keeps you looking at the screen..
Great performances and a great psychological thriller. If you want a lot of dumb action or storylines, go see "Pearl Harbor" or "Swordfish" that's ok, but this movie is not really about crime, but more about human emotion. Go see it.
The Rage: Carrie 2 (1999)
Good Movie, don't compare it to Carrie
Carrie 2: The Rage is an O.K. movie. Emily Bergl shows some real talent, certainly when you realize this was her first movie. Being an actor myself, I would have liked to have played next to such a natural talent. The commentary on the dvd by Katt Shea, explains a lot about her vison for this movie, I recommend seeing the movie with this on.
It is difficult to live up to the original Carrie, so I recommend you see this movie for what it is: a nice, although average horror movie, with nice production values, stereotypical characters and some gore.
In the first half of the movie there is not enough gore and shocks to keep you satisfied, so for gore-hounds only the last 10 minutes are adequate.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
What else can be said about such a beautiful movie????
With so many reviews telling you this is a great movie,
I can only repeat that.
I saw it 3 times and it grows on me. I can't wait for the sequels. I think Peter Jackson is great. Elijah Wood grows in his part as Frodo during the movie. Everyone turned in a great performance.
The only thing I don't like is that I am not in this movie. I would have loved being an actor or extra in such a production.
Go see it, you won't be disappointed. I promise.
The Six Million Dollar Man (1974)
Now it's out on DVD you just HAVE to watch this!!
When it aired in the seventies I was a kid, and like so many others you could not do anything else than love this show. Now I have some DVD's from the show and I hope Universal will bring them all back.
I think that it's one great show.
Amadeus (1984)
A great experience!
There is nothing bad to be said about this beautiful movie, with great performances, settings and lbnl music!! If you own a copy on dvd, look at the extra info on the work they put into this film, it's enormous!! Two thumbs up!! It's a shame that Tom Hulce didn't really get such a part in a movie after this one, because he puts in a great performance....
Deadbeat at Dawn (1988)
Fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a movie with a simple plot, but it's done amazingly if you take in regard that it's a low budget movie. The acting isn't always great but mostly very convincing and sometimes disturbing in a good sense.
I mean that seeing this is refreshing your mind from the mainstream hollywood crap. I recommend this movie and other movies that are less known, mostly low budget but well made. Really this is great stuff.
If you like gore like Dead Alive, Toxic Avenger etc. you will also not be disappointed. There is also this guy in the movie
called Bonecrusher or something. You're really gonna hate this guy and will love it when he is de********** oops sorry no spoilers ...Thumbs up for Jim van Bebber (?is he of Dutch ancestry?) for what he did with such a low budget. 10 out of 10 !!!
La noche del terror ciego (1972)
Top- Zombie Classic!
I think that this movie is a must-see for horror fans, I got the Anchor Bay release, it's a DVD with 2 sides, one with this flick, and one with The Return of the Blind Dead, the sequel. I saw "Tombs" when I was 11 years old, and it made an uneraseable impression. It was my first real horror movie, and I still think it has a great atmosphere. Put the lights out, see the templars ride, and you almost think it's real. A truly great movie, and dedicated to the original director, Amando de Ossorio. It's a shame that Anchor Bay stopped the production of this DVD. Grab it if you have the chance!! I give it a 10 out of 10....
