s. s. van dine must have be a shrewd businessman in deal with hollywood . most of the film series from the studio day be usually confine to one or two studio . but apparently van dine must have sell his right to each book about philo vance one at a time . note that paramount and mgm and warner brother and and more all release philo vance film . only tarzan seem to get around hollywood more . mgm produce the garden murder case and star edmund lowe a the fashionable detective . of course mgm have the screen original philo under contract at the time and but bill powell be busy do the thin man at the time and i guess louis b. mayer decide to concentrate him there . edmund lowe be a pretty acceptable philo vance . lowe have start out pretty big at the tail end of the silent era with what price glory and then with a string of film with victor mclaglen with their flagg and quirt character . but after mclaglen get his oscar for the informer and lowe seem to fade into the b picture market . the garden murder case involve three separate victim and douglas walton and gene lockhart and and frieda inescourt . the sinister atmosphere around the perpetrator kind of give it away and the mystery be really how all the killing be connect and how they be accomplish . i will say this though . vance take a very big chance in expose the villain and the last 15 minute be worthy of hitchcock . | 1pos

edmund lowe ( who remind me somewhat of warren william ) and head the nice cast of an interesting little mystery that move at a brisk pace and run just a little over an hour . douglas walton play the unlucky jockey who appear to be intent on his own demise ( hypnotism and anyone . ) and and the suspect include a good number of the support cast everyone from virginia bruce and kent smith and frieda inescourt and gene lockhart and jessie ralph and benita hume and rosalind ivan and h. b. warner . a an added bonus and there nat pendleton a a dimwit detective and furthermore and get a load of that art deco set decoration for the fancy interior of a wealthy home . must have be a set that be use in many a subsequent film . on the plus side and the mystery be not so complicate that anyone can follow the plot with reasonable assurance of not be too baffle . it all suddenly clear to detective philo vance and then he have a final confrontation with the murderer that give the film a nifty five minute of unmitigated suspense . nicely do and pass the time in an entertaining manner . | 1pos

when philo vance ( edmund lowe ) be stand precariously on the edge of a balcony high above the city and apparently hypnotize and just about to step to his death and it immediately remind me of a nearly identical scene in another film make nine year later and the woman in green in which sherlock holmes ( basil rathbone ) be similarly about to hurl himself into space while be hypnotize . happily and both philo vance and sherlock holmes survive these attempt at murder by unscrupulous criminal . excite cinematic suspense in both these scene . when will they learn you can not cloud the mind of great fictional detective . | 1pos

etienne girardot be just a character actor the sort of person people almost never would know by name . however and he once again play the coroner one of the only actor in the philo vance film that play his role more than once . i have already see him two other time and love him every time because he be so funny and a breath of fresh air . this film also be great to watch because in addition to girardot and there be many other wonderful character actor along for the ride include grant mitchell and gene lockhart and henry walthal and kent smith and h. b. warner and nat pendleton . this be quite an impressive cast and and they sure make the job easy for lead man and woman edmund lowe and virginia bruce . these great character actor be one of the big reason i love these old b movie . while the mystery itself be rarely that terrific and because of the breezy writing and acting and the film really satisfy . a for this film and vance be play wonderfully by lowe but and like i say and the mystery itself be only an after thought with a silly plot involve hypnosis and suicide . unfortunately and you can not hypnotize anyone to do anything of the sort i have training in clinical hypnosis and if i could do anything like the evil guy could do in the film and i would have do it . used car salesman and a few of my old boss would have be obvious target . overall and while not the best philo vance film and it be very good and it a darn shame lowe only play this role once . in fact and aside from william powell ( who play vance five time ) and the series be hinder by a long and long succession of actor such a basil rathbone and wilfred hyde white and warren william ( and many others ) play vance . this be a similar problem that also plague the bulldog drummond series just too many different actor play the lead man . well worth see and excite though also quite impossible . | 1pos

update january 1st and 2006parsifal be one of my two favorite wagner opera or music drama and to be more accurate and ( meistersinger be the other . ) though it hard to imagine it a the top of anyone pop . the libretto and by the composer a usual and be a muddle of religion and paganism and eroticism and and possibly even homo eroticism and and it length may make it seem to the audience like hear paint dry . wagner and be a famous anti semite and ( klingsor may be one of his surrogate jewish villain . ) naturally entrust the premiere to an unconverted ( not for want of rw try . ) hermann levi and who be his favorite conductor . ( go figure . ) kundry and a most mixed up gal and another likely jewish surrogate and be both villainous or benevolent and depend on the scene . consider that many video version of parsifal seem on the stodgy side and this film of the opera be and in comparison and a breath of fresh air . han jürgen syberberg and the director and have bring considerable imagination to it but it hard to know why he make some of his choice . for example represent the notorious dual parsifals ( of each gender . ) and the puppet and the death mask of wagner set and various doll and symbol such a the nazi swastika in one of the travel scene . ( if i remember and the real engelbert humperdinck write the actual music to pad out the scene change . ) though wagner himself die much too early to be an actual nazi and many of his descendant ( as well a his second wife cosima . ) be at least fellow traveler and include their grandson wolfgang wagner who still run the bayreuth festival at an advanced age . in fact and wolfgang son gottfried wagner and in complete opposition to his father and have try to come to term honestly with his great grandfather . syberberg and too and seem politically ambiguous from what i have read . in 1977 and he make a well know film on hitler and hitler represent ein film au deutschland ( sometimes call our hitler in english . ) . since it last all of 8 hour and hasn not be widely distribute and most people have not see it ( include myself . ) . armin jordan and the conductor of the audio cd on which this film be base and play amfortas ( sing by wolfgang schöne ) edith clever ( yvonne minton ) play kundry and michael kutter and karin krick play the dual parsifals ( both sing by reiner goldberg . ) and robert lloyd and aage haugland both play and sing gurnemanz and klingsor . though the opera take place over a long period of time and all ( except kundry . ) have be describe a have age considerably between act 2 and 3 and no one look a day old by the end of the opera . ( the magic of the grail . in this opera the grail be the cup from which jesus drank at the last supper and not mary magdalene a in more recent time and an idea i find preposterous . ) . the conducting and singing be all quite serviceable and the dvd seem to have improve the sound and if not the picture and to a great extent . ( yes and i agree that kna approach be superior and even on the second and stereo and version but he be probably superior to all record version on the whole . ) not a parsifal for all wagnerites but i think it work quite well a a filmed opera . | 1pos

this very peculiar setting of wagner last opera definitely grow on me . when i first saw it and i be somewhat annoyed by many of the film surrealistic image and and felt that far too much be superimpose upon the story . however and if you can put up with a fair amount of rather recherché gimmick and i think you will find that the film do manage to capture the very strange and other worldly atmosphere of the opera and and that there be moment which be particularly fine . personally and i never really understood the role of kundry until i saw how edith clever portray her . her performance ( a lip synchronize mime of the singing voice of yvonne minton ) be nothing short of dazzle and from end to end and and alone justify the hour it take to absorb the film . another reason to delight in this film be that it capture the spectacular interpretation of robert lloyd of the crucial role of gurnemanz and one which lloyd have perform to a crisp at opera house throughout the world . i have be privilege to enjoy him in the role of gurnemanz on the stage of the metropolitan opera several time and and the lusciousness of his voice and and the warm and fatherliness of his interpretation of this noble character really need to be preserve and a do his performance in the character two major monologue and the karfreitag scene and the recounting of the prophecy in act 1. the version i have see be a videotape make for america and and so there be subtitle which and ala and could not be do away with . this be especially unfortunate because the translation use be very inaccurate and force an extremely christian interpretation on a film which be already force layer of interpretation on the opera . this seem to me to be quite contrary both to wagner clear avoidance of christianity and and his very deliberate attempt to generalize the christian element of the story . ( see footnote with spoiler at the end of this review . ) i find it nearly impossible and when view a film with subtitle and to keep from absorb them and and strongly recommend that and if in the dvd version you have the ability to turn the subtitle off and you do so and and instead and if the opera be unfamiliar to you and that you read the libretto carefully beforehand . the bottom line be that there be much in the film which i dislike and and would just as soon have see do differently . but it have rise steadily in my estimation over the year since i first saw it and and i find myself draw to enjoy it again and again . __________________________________________________________________footnote contain a spoiler represent a good example would be kundry famous line and i saw him . him . and laugh . this get translate and in the subtitle and for reason which escape me and a i saw the savior face . it be especially irritate to me and because throughout the libretto and wagner very deliberately and carefully refers to this unseen character who need not be the biblical jesus a der heiland and i. e. and the german for the healer a reference to the wound of amfortas and and to all wound and malady and the need for heal . | 1pos

parsifal ( 1982 ) star michael kutter and armin jordan and robert lloyd and martin sperr and edith clever and aage haugland and the voice of reiner goldberg and yvonne minton and wolfgang schone and director han jurgen syberberg . straight out of the german school of film and the kind that favor ton of symbolism and ingmar bergmanesque surrealism and come this 1982 film of wagner final masterpiece parsifal and write to correspond with good friday or easter and the consecration of the bayreuth opera house . this film follow the musical score and plot accurately but the manner in which it be film and perform be bold and avant garde and no other parsifal take the crown in it bizarre cinematography . syberberg be know for controversial film . prior to this film he have release film about hitler and nazism and richard wagner and his personal anti semitism and a documentary about winifred wagner and one of his grand daughter . this film be possibly disturb in many aspect . parsifal ( sing by reiner goldberg but act by michael kutter ) be a male throughout the first part of the film and then and after the enchantment of kundry kiss and be transform into a female . this gender bend element display the feminine or masculine or ying yang nature of the quest for the holy grail and which serve all mankind and redeem it through christ blood . in the pagan sorcerer klingsor fortress and there be photograph of such notoriously sinister figure a hitler and nietzche and cosima wagner and wagner mistress matilde wesendock . the swaztika flag hang outside the fortress . parsifal journey into the 19th and 20th century throughout the film . the tempt flower maiden be in the nude . kundry be portray a a sort of beautiful but corrupt mary magdalene or eve from genesis ( play by edith clever but beautifully sing by mezzo soprano yvonne minton ) . ultimately and this film be for fan of this type of bizarre germanic or european symbolic metafiction and for intellectual who appreciate the symbolism and the history and lover of wagner opera . indeed and the singing be grand and compelling . reiner goldberg parsifal be a focused and intense voice but it lack the depth and overall greatness of the great parsifals of the stage jam king and wolfgang windgassen and rene kollo and today own placido domingo . yvone minton be a sensual voiced and dramatic and exciting kundry and delve into her tormented state perfectly . while the production be certainly unorthodox and a un wagnerian a it can possibly get ( wagner concept be christian ceremonial pomp with grail and spear and castle and knight and wound king and a dark sorcerer and darkness turn into light and etc typical wagnerian theme ) . it be still an enjoyable and art house film . | 1pos

gene kelly come up with some really grand idea for musical while with mgm . here he at the top of his creative power work with the arthur free musical unit . hard to believe when you watch an american in paris that the player never leave the back lot at mgm . the magic of an american in paris be due to the creative editing under the direction of vincent minnelli and the set that mgm design blend with some background establish shot . the idea of the film originate with kelly who want simply to do a film with a lengthy ballet sequence involve george gershwin tone poem an american in paris . it sound good to arthur freed who approach ira gershwin who say fine with him as long a they use other gershwin material . gershwin get the kind of deal for gershwin music that irving berlin normally get . not one note of non gershwin music be hear in an american in paris . listen to some of the background music and you will hear thing like embraceable you and but not for me which be not real musical number . another guy who be a fair hand at write lyric and alan jay lerner and write the story which admittedly be a thin one . all about an ex gi play by gene kelly who after world war ii never leave france and just settle into an apartment on the left bank and proceed to become a starving artist . he live with eccentric composer oscar levant and do that ever sound like a redundancy . two woman be interested in him . another expatriate american play by nina foch who want to sponsor him a a painter if he will reciprocate in other matter . but kelly fall for a shop girl play by leslie caron in her film debut . caron also have musical comedy star george guetary interested in here . of course the plot be just an excuse to sing and dance to the music of george gershwin . an american in paris happens to be the first film i ever saw a an in flight movie on the first airplane trip i ever take . i still remember fly back from phoenix arizona to kennedy airport see gene kelly do i have get rhythm . my favorite number in the film however be tra la la which kelly sings and dance all over the apartment with oscar levant play the piano . at one point kelly dance on top of the baby grand piano . in a book about arthur free and i read a quote where he say in the american in paris ballet sequence be to be do with the background of the french impressionist which he felt the public would take to rather than a realistic setting on the street or back lot . so it happen that way . kelly have do lengthy ballet sequence in word and music and the pirate and and on the town . but this one top them all . still do in my opinion and that include some of gene kelly later film . in a surprise upset at the oscar and an american in paris be choose best picture for 1951 and beat out the heavily favor a streetcar name desire . i guess fantasy trump realism that year . big budget also have an upper hand in these thing as well . still an american in paris be one of the best movie musical ever do and since the studio no longer have all that creative talent under one roof and something less likely to be repeat . | 1pos

i saw an american in paris on it first release when i be still at school and fell in love with it straightaway . i go back to see it again the next day and have lose count of the number of time i have see it since and both in the cinema and on tv . it make fantastic use of some of the best music and song by the great popular composer of the twentieth century ( george gershwin ) and feature the great male ( gene kelly ) and female ( leslie caron ) dancer in hollywood history . the support cast of oscar levant ( as quirky a ever ) and george guetary ( why do not he make more movie . ) and nina foch ( brilliant in an unsympathetic role ) be at the top of their form . the closing ballet and superbly choreograph to the title music and make excellent use of the sight and sound of paris and of the image of impressionist and post impressionist artist . all the gershwin song be beautifully stag and but the most memorable be it very clear ( caron and kelly on the bank of the seine ) and i get rhythm ( the kid of paris join gene kelly in une chanson americaine ) . if you love paris and see this movie . if you have never be to paris in your life and see it . but see it . | 1pos

an american in paris be and in many way and the ultimate mixture of art and hollywood musical . make at the height of mgm power a a musical powerhouse and the film feature memorable music from the gershwin and who rightly have be call the 20th century equivalent of beethoven and mozart . gene kelly be also at the height of his power in this film and though it could be rightly argue that this movie be just the warm up for his best work in singin in the rain ( 1952 ) . the two film be actually closely link . aside from the arthur free connection and the broadway melody segment in rain owes it existence to the incredible american in paris ballet sequence in this film . this might well have be the only time a dance number be specially mention in the opening credit of the film . and it deserve to be and a it showcases gene kelly skills a a dancer and choreographer to their utmost degree . the film cast be uniformly excellent . leslie caron and incredibly make her film debut and show a maturity that make you think she would be make film for year . her introductory dance sequence and and later her work on the ballet and provide some surprisingly sexy moment rival in mgm musical only by cyd charisse work in singin in the rain and the band wagon . oscar levant be hilarious a kelly stoic pal and who get two of the film best moment represent during the end party sequence ( which i will not give away for anyone who hasn not see the film ) and and one of the film most memorable musical number which couple his incredible piano skill with state of the art ( for the time ) special effect . less memorable be george guetary a kelly romantic rival and though he do get a few musical highlight and and nina foch a leslie caron romantic rival . the may december relationship between kelly character and nina remind me of the same kept man relationship see between george peppard and patricia neal in breakfast at tiffany . there be a few element of the film that make it less satisfy for me than singin in the rain . the ballet and though lavish and well produce and doesn not really fit with the rest of the movie . without give away the plot and the ballet just happen and with no real rhyme or reason . and unlike the broadway melody sequence and it really doesn not have anything to do with the plot and in the best musical and the song always have some sort of raison detre . make matter worse be the end of the film which happen immediately after the ballet . although the end shouldn not be a surprise ( this be an mgm musical and after all ) and i be hop for a bit more . movie after the ballet end . it a if director vincente minnelli felt that he couldn not follow the ballet with anything else . the film literally leave me in the lurch . that negative aside and an american in paris rightly rank alongside the best of hollywood musical . it doesn not quite reach the height of singin in the rain and but it come close and it remain a testament to gene kelly skills a one of the great dancer of all time . | 1pos

i felt it necessary to respond to the comment post on the front page of this film page because some of it be slightly misinformative . originally i post quote from the original poster and but i wasn not sure if it be proper give that this be the comment index and not a message board ( though we use to use em that way back before imdb add the film message board ) so i will edit this to make it unnecessary . well and first of all you may not be aware of this and but gene kelly first become famous for play pal joey on broadway in the original production . when vincente minnelli decide to make a gershwin panorama film and he want kelly character to be more sophisticated than the goody two shoe role he have be play in most his film ( with the exception of for me and my gal ) . alan jay lerner be instruct to construct a new story set in paris base on the story of pal joey . this give kelly a chance to play his famous role from broadway even though warner have outbid mgm for the right to pal joey . in my opinion and the wb film pal joey be a wreck and though sinatra be suitable for the role and but other problem sink the film ( script change and poor direction . equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal you complain that kelly picture be not well do and even cite your art education to prove the point . but you miss the fact that kelly bad art be clearly design to be bad and and it be necessary for the story or character . the picture be so bad and the audience know that kelly isn not ready for an exhibition . even he know it and though milo have sort of sugar him up to the point where he almost believe her . but it important that the audience not be sit there say but and he a great artist and if he only have the chance . you want the audience to be fully aware of his deficiency . then you complain that he sabotage his interest in the show while again you be not understand the structure of the story . he refuse because he doesn not want to feel like a gigolo and and because he know he not really ready for the exhibition . his enthusiasm for the exhibition be certainly not as great a joey enthusiasm to start a nightclub . but it serve the same function in the plot . remember and it essential in pal joey ( the play ) that joey give up his nightclub after he realize that he doesn not deserve it . same with the art show . if kelly painting be actually good and it would undermine this whole point . equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal then you complain that caron and kelly have no chemistry . i guess it in the eye of the beholder . i agree and the chemistry between them be not as strong a it should be and but for me it be fine . compare it to even bad force romance like the one between cary grant and sophia loren in the pride and the passion . equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal when you say that the big dance finale have nothing to do with anything else in this film and it just show that you haven not dug beneath the surface of the film into it symbolism . many element in the dance sequence relate to the story and character and and through the dance the plot be resolve through image and symbolism . it about find love and enjoy love and then lose love ( he look around and his love be go ) . the movement of the symphony be construct so that part of each dance scene mirror a separate phase of parisian art and also a separate phase of their relationship . if you do not see that and it not the movie fault . it certainly not a load of crap . equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal equal . | 1pos

okay and so the plot be on shaky ground . yeah and all right and so there be some randomly insert song and or or dance sequence ( for example represent adam concert and henri stage act ) . and leslie caron can not really and um and you know . act . but somehow and an american in paris manages to come through it all a a polished and first rate musical largely on the basis of gene kelly incredible dance talent and choreography and and the truckloads of charm he seem to be import into each scene with caron . ( he need to and because she seem to have a. problem with emote . ) the most accomplished and technically awe inspire number in this musical be obviously the 16 minute ballet towards the end of the film . it stunningly film and and kelly and caron dance beautifully . but my favourite number would have to be kelly character sing i get rhythm with a bunch of french school child and then break into an array of american dance . it just go to prove how you do not need special effect when you have get some real talent . not on the classic level with singin in the rain and but pretty high up there nonetheless . worth the watch . | 1pos

i enjoy this film . it be lighthearted and delightful and and very colorful . you can see that mgm be show off technicolor . there be hardly any color that do not appear in this film . every scene be pack full . the choreography be great . gene kelly be a wonder . he be so talented . the dance number in this film be all perfectly execute and and perfectly design . he understand that the dance can tell the story as much a anything else . the last section of the film and the grand dance sequence and be very impressive . what make this film very special be gershwin music . few american composer have have a good gift for melody . i very much enjoy gershwin music . it be enchant . ira gershwin be definitely one of the great lyric writer . he be so witty and charm . this be a highly entertaining film . | 1pos

i dig out from my garage some old musical and this be another one of my favorite . it be write by jay alan lerner and direct by vincent minelli . it win two academy award for best picture of 1951 and best screenplay . the story of an american painter in paris who try to make it big . nina foch be a sophisticated lady of mean and be very interested in help him and but soon find she love the guy . meanwhile gene kelly fall for lovely damsel and leslie caron . his main dancing partner and and i must say they be fantastic together on the floor and otherwise . famous french singer george guietary sings and too . so if you like good smooth dancing and fun fill scene fill with oscar levant nimble piano finger and the song of george gershwyn will live on forever in this colorful gem . positive . | 1pos

while the story be sweet and and the dancing and singing in the main part of the film be a joy and the uniqueness of the film ( and what make it a masterpiece ) be the dream sequence . it feature the combination of the high form of truly american music ( gershwin ) and the engage beauty of french impressionistic art and kelly enthral choreography ( include his rapturous pa de deux damour and really a separate genre ) and with the most magnificent palette of color ever devise for the set . match the surging music and the visual explosion with those dance be a true work of a creative genius and a great artist . | 1pos

uggh . i really wasn not that impress by this film and though i must admit that it be technically well make . it do get a 7 for very high production value and but a for entertainment value and it be rather poor . in fact and i consider this one of the most overrated film of the 50 . it win the oscar for best picture and but the film be just bore at time with so much dancing and dancing and dancing . that because unlike some musical that have a reasonable number of song along with a strong story and act ( such a meet me in st. louis ) and this movie be almost all singing and dancing . in fact and this film have about the long song and dance number in history and if you aren not into this and the film will quickly bore you . give me more story . a a result and with overblown production number and a weak story and this film be like a steady diet of meringue it just doesn not satisfy in the long run . to think . this be the film that beat out a streetcar name desire and a place in the sun for best picture . and and to make matter bad and the african queen and ace in the hole weren not even nominate in this category . even more amazing to me be that ace in the hole lose for best writing and screenplay to this film even though an american in paris have hardly any story to speak of and be mostly drive by dance and song . | 1pos

paris be the place to be to enjoy beautiful art and music and and to fall madly in love a be the case in this film . boy meet girl and they fall in love and but something stand in their way of eternal happiness and the classic story . the wonderful music of george gerschwin complement the great dancing by gene kelly and leslie caron . an american in paris be a humorous and light hearted and love film well worth watch . positive . | 1pos

i can give you four reason to see this movie represent1 . four of the best filmmaker in the contemporary mexican cinema . 2. four good story and relate into a big scheme . 3. a surprisingly good cast . 4. a bitter reflexion about the big trouble in this country ( and many others ) . ( possible spoiler ) alejandro gamboa open this movie with a good story in a comedic mood about the authority practice the extortion against regular people and still expect to be appreciate by it effort . then antonio serrano get more dramatic in the second piece with a story heir to the italian neorealism with a peter and the wolf like anecdote . in the third story and the one that seem more independent from this series even in the context and carlos carrera tell u the story of a man be at the wrong place in the wrong moment . but after the recent lynching at tlahuac and the tradition in this awful matter at the state of mexico and this story couldn not be more updated . and at the end and fernando sariñana return to the dark humor in the grand finale in which he put together the most of the character from the past sequence in one of the good comedy piece ever film . reprise the center scene from one of his previous film todo el poder and sariñana give the final lesson of the theme . and by the way and give u the scene that steal the movie with anna ciochetti make a brief striptease . once the movie have end and you get a bittersweet feel about have look at a good movie ( and maybe enjoy it ) with a very painful subject . they say that in mexico people laugh at their own disgrace and this be the best example . this film be a testimony of how mexican have learn to live in the middle of a crime state ( and perhaps accept it ) and between two fire represent the criminal and the so called authority full of corruption . even this movie be a wishful thinking because almost all the good people have be a victim of crime and they do not get this unhurt . if you have an assault without a scratch then youre lucky . meanwhile and do not lose the chance to see this movie and highly recommend . and it a beautiful life in mexico . | 1pos

this movie and even though be about one of the most favorite topic of mexican producer producer represent the extreme life in our city and have a funny way to put it on the screen . four of the more important mexican director and of the last time and approach history of our city frame in diverse literary sort a it can be the farce or the satire and which give u a film with a over expose topic in our country and but narrate in a very different way which give a freshness tone him . with actor little known and but that interprets of excellent way their paper and each one of the director reflect in the story the capacity by we have be identify anywhere in the world and that capacity of laugh the pain and to make celebration of the sadness . perhaps to many people in our country the film not have please and but i consider that people of other country could find attractive and share the surrealism of the mexican . | 1pos

i be on france and around march 05 and and i love to go to this film festival . i know about this cinémas damérique latine de toulouse and but i have never go to it . i decide to go and then i caught cero y van 4. the film be stun . it doesn not cause the impact on me like with the mexican user and because it be french subtitle but it still shock . this film be a satire about urban violence and about kidnapping and crime on the street in mexico . it be a crude portrait of the city . of a metropolis . secuestro express and with a stunning mia maestro and which be also a satire of kidnapping and almost and but with a more serious tone have and and i think so and some kinda connection with cero y van 4. a and sort of and redemption story and that how much be too much . man on fire and that be stunningly strong and be also and not a satire and but a crude portrait into the street of mexico . or it be like the brave one . a film that shock and hit you in the gut very hard . this be like the usual suspect and it have some plot twist and turn and but that make it even more believable . verdict represent a film that shock and make you believe that there no security on the street anymore . stun dialogue and impressive direction and astonishing performance . cero y van 4 be a film that you would not forget soon . leave you shake and stun . | 1pos

i find i enjoy this show and but the format need some work . first off and the good attribute . i like how this show will take u through the day to day life of an addict because the producer have a knack at get the addict to show u how bad they have allow their life to become . this be follow by an intervention which be then follow by an outcome . intervention doesn not candy coat thing and sometimes the outcome ( often short term due to the constraint of time between film and air ) be a negative outcome . this make the positive outcome all the good . another thing i like about the show be the quality of the camera work . give the reality that these cameraman have to squeeze anywhere and do not have the benefit of re shoot scene the photography be surprisingly good and stable . it actually superior to script show like the shield where the photography be so bad it can induce nausea . now for the bad . an episode will sometimes contain two completely different and unrelated case that will be mixed together during the show . you will get catch up in the story of one addict then suddenly youre thrown into the story of another . get catch up in that story then suddenly youre back to the first addict . or be you . by now you may have forget which case the individual currently on screen belong to . this constant flip flopping between addict really get disruptive during the intervention scene because the show will even mix together the two completely unrelated intervention . i once hear the marketing b. s. reason for this poor design represent the show can get so intense that switch to another addict allow the viewer time to absorb what theyre watch . oh please . clearly the reason this be do be because they have two case that aren not big enough for an hour show so they mix two together . by mix them instead of give each a half hour block and like they should and it force the viewer to watch the entire thing ( and the commercial ) if they be interested in one case but not the other . i use to find these blender episode so annoy that i would only tell my tivo to record episode contain one addict and but then it become easier just to record all of them . | 1pos

intervention have help me with my own addiction and recovery . i be a middle age marry father of two . i be quite functional in my personal and professional life . still and i have pain from my past that i use addiction to soothe and and issue from which i be slowly recover . when these addict and their family share their life with me and they help me to improve my life and my relationship with my family . the show and unlike many others and dig into the past of the addict and reveals event that probably cause their addiction . many of u suffer because it too scary to go back and do and a alice miller say and the discovery and emotional acceptance of the truth in the individual and unique history of our childhood . the show deserve a lot of credit for at least get this process start . this digging be painful and difficult and but worth it . so much coverage of addiction fictional and non fictional seem to ignore the underlie issue . often it assume that the addict just one day start to shoot up or whatever for fun or pleasure or self interest and and now they can not stop . not so represent addiction be about kill pain . i can relate to the different event and hardship in people life . there be common theme and and surprising exception . many addict have suffer miserable abuse . some kid simply respond badly to divorce . to those who think that addiction be an over reaction to a hardship and i would just say that different people respond differently . although some kid handle divorce well and others and like cristy in the show and collapse in a heap on the floor and have their life forever change by the event . for example and last night counselor say that pretty young andrea seek validation from men . she strip for cash for a 75 year old neighbor and let men abuse her . sound familiar to anyone . the series be fill with information that we can use to understand our own motivation and make adjustment to our life . often it those of u with small issue who suffer the long . a they say and even a stopped watch be right twice a day and but a slow watch can go undetected for quite a while and until it make your life miserable . to the producer represent thank you for make the show and for dig into the past and for the follow ups . also and the graphic and the format and and the theme music be brilliant . to the addict represent thank you for your courage to share . whether or not you have help yourself and you have help me . | 1pos

i just catch an episode about brad and the crack cocaine addict who turn to a drug addict life on the street after his bicycle race career go to shamble as fast a it start . i have to say that the story about his biking career be more heart break than his drug addiction . here this young guy who be win bike race leave and right and be invite to train with an olympic training team for two week and and immediately upon arrive he insults lance armstrong and one of the great athlete who ever live and and be generally callous and unfriendly to everyone in general . understandably and he be soon ask to leave . most of the show be about his struggle with addiction and how he get his life back and but what i want to know be what be wrong with him in the first place to make his act like such an as . at any rate and i be confuse about how the show be put together and since it show brad at the height of his addiction . we see footage of him pan handle and sleep in gutter and ditch and even smoke crack cocaine . i do not even know that be legal to show and but why would a camera crew just follow him around and film that . do they do that in hope that this guy will turn his life around and give them some material for a good tv episode . at any rate and it be an enlighten show and because it show the effect of various addiction and the total control that they can take over people life . sometimes it hard to watch because you really see how badly the family and friend suffer in the face of the addict indifference and although i have to admit that at the end it all seem a little too clean cut . there be time during the episode when terrible thing happen and everything seem lose and but still and and maybe i should warn about spoiler here and everything have a little too much of a happily ever after feel at the end and and i have a feeling that that be a very uncommon occurrence in real life . but still and it a show about people try to help other people and and you can never complain too much about something like that . | 1pos

what i like best in this film be that like the film of hitchcock and it be a thriller that do not take itself too seriously . hitchcock understand that people go the the movie to have a good time . something that hollywood seem to have forget in recent year . this be a thriller and but it have plenty of laugh and always have one eye winking at the camera . rachel mcadams be wonderful a always . cillian murphy be creepy than he be in batman begin . in the old day and there be guy who always play the bad guy . we do not see much of that these day because i suspect the hollywood agent consider it a bad career move and but cillian murphy be really good at be bad . the directing be surprising stylish . the story be good but the dialog could have use some spruce up . red eye be a really fun film and people be applaud when the closing credit start roll . if you be in the mood for an enjoyable escapist thriller and red eye might be your ticket . | 1pos

i saw an advanced screening for this movie tonight . i absolutely love it . the movie keep me on the edge of my seat all night . cillian murphy be extremely creepy a the villain . for those of you who have see batman begin and his character be much scary in this film . he play his character very well . the scary bad guy and i have see in awhile . rachel mcadams be great . everyone in the audience laugh and gasp and cheer at the same time and a if we be on cue . the suspense be hold through out the movie . the amazing part be that the end be not anti climatic . i be not disappoint in the end . i felt satisfied . the trailer do not do the movie justice . the movie be much good than the trailer indicate . do not wait for this movie to come out on video . go see it . although and i do not have to pay to see this movie and i would have gladly give 10 . 75 to see it . enjoy . | 1pos

i have fun watch red eye . it not a masterpiece and but it well direct and structure . cillian murphy and rachel mcadams be perfect in the role . yes and it the same old story with a different setting but wes craven give it a good pace . at least not another scream with the usual college killer . it nice when you can see a clean and coherent thriller even when originality doesn not stand out a it main character . particularly from a film maker like craven that have bring so many innovative idea to the thriller and horror genre in the past and that now just lend himself to bring home what could have be a good tv movie have it not be release theatrically . good job . | 1pos

scream be wes craven last decent thriller . since then there have be nothing but an unbearable streak of hollywood trash barely good enough for a blockbuster night and include the disappointment of the scream sequel . perhaps the genius and the craftsmanship devote to the movie drain all the energy and creativity out of him and so that when it come time for supper and he have nothing to serve u but his own doo doo . finally and after who know how many bad movie later and he give u a delicious and ruthless and gripping and chill suspense thriller with red eye . rachel mcadams once again delivers an enjoyable performance a she play a hotel manager who have the unfortunate connection with an important political figure and regular at her hotel . then she meet jackson ripner ( cillian murphy and batman beyond ) at the airport and who she get to know a little better after a delayed flight and a bay breeze . what she doesn not know be he already know her . and he also know her father and who she will never see again if she fail to cooperate and meet jackson demand to use her connection to set up her hotel regular for assassination . youre probably think this be nothing but your everyday thriller complete with predictability and chase scene . although this be a good old fashion thriller and that the beauty of it . no special effect . no cheap make up . just classic suspense . you feel the desperation and regret with every decision mcadams be force to make and you actually care for her a you cheer her on every move she make to find an escape from her claustrophobic position . a always she deliver an entertaining and convincing performance . it either her sweet face or her uncanny ability to sincerely cry and but you always seem to sympathize with her if her role demand it . cillian murphy on the other hand be naturally creepy look and so even if the trailer do not reveal it and his ultimate transition from charm stranger to merciless jackass isn not so surprising . perhaps it would have be more trippy to see a nice guy persona like toby maguire transform into evil relentless madman . nevertheless and cillian murphy and after his true identity be establish and play the role so solidly you would really want him to die and or at least get his as kick . don not overlook this feature . there be plenty of chalkboard screech moment and heart jumper that will keep your eye on the screen instead of your watch like you would at craven recent picture . if not for the you and do it for all the time you will see your girlfriend and or boyfriend and or someone with popcorn jump and cling on to you . wes finally get it right . aside from his trademark mastery in suspense and red eye be not without it humor a mcadams replacement cynthia at the front desk fumble to keep the hotel in order . it be a relief that red eye wasn not a disappointment . instead you will get the pleasure of see mcadams deliver another incredibly talented performance and murphy look creepier by the minute and and craven craft a classic traditional thriller . a flight that be delay and would have be the beginning of craven renaissance have it arrive right after scream . | 1pos

beautifully film and well acted and tightly script suspense movie . have me on the edge of my seat . i like the lead actress very much and and think the villain be very well do . not much to chew on here in the way of a theme and but if you just get in your seat and turn your brain off and watch the fancy camera work and and enjoy the plot and you will have a great time . the plot be well worn and and regular movie goer will probably know more or less what to expect by about ten minute in . but that do not bother me and a i enjoy watch it unfold . in the old day and they might not have focus so tightly on just two character and and there be some entice moment when i hop they be go to let some other people have a few line . but these folk be probably right to keep the movie so tightly focus . the plot get me by the throat fairly early on and and never let go . it not a good idea to think too much either during or after the movie . a i be not sure it make a great deal of sense . just sit back and enjoy . | 1pos

on an overnight flight from los angeles to miami and lisa reisert ( rachel mcadams ) meet a charming man who turn out to be a hired killer who demand her help kill a businessman or else her own father will die . red eye be a terrific thriller that keep the audience on the edge of their seat . the premise be similar to cellular and phone booth but red eye be good than both of those film . almost everything about red eye be above average include the suspense and the acting and the direction . most of the film do take place on a plane but that doesn not slow down the movie . the film be very fast pace and excite with no slow or boring spot . wes craven do a really good job behind the camera . instead of focus on the thrill and he focus on the story and the character . the movie do have it share of suspenseful moment but that not what the film be really about . i also like the way wes craven focus on the other passenger and the small detail that become important later on . red eye really show his skill at storytelling . red eye also work well because of it young and talented cast . rachel mcadams give a very engaging performance and her character be hard to hate . you may even end up cheer for her out loud . cillian murphy give a very creepy and effective performance a the villain . the way he act charm at first but then turn psycho be especially impressive . the supporting actor be also pretty good which include brain cox and jayma may . the movie be also very stylish and it have this overall creepy vibe to it . the setting work well since there be an obvious fear of isolation and no escape . overall and the tone of the film be consistently creepy . the screenplay isn not as strong a everything else though . there be a few unrealistic moment that may distract the viewer . most of them do not bother me but there be of few that leave me shake my head . also and the end be disappoint . it isn not a bad end just a very simple one and a different approach would have be well . since the movie focus on the character and there be really no scream moments maybe just a few jump . if you expect a horror movie then you will end up disappointed . in the end and red eye be an engage thriller and it one of the best movie of the summer . rating positive . | 1pos

red eye be not the kind of movie that go to win the palme dor and but wes craven have never be that kind of director and anyway and and his branding be a good indication of what a film goer can expect . the fact that red eye be a tight little and undemanding package at 94 minute be part of it charm and an indication of craven craft in produce lightweight and but generally enjoyable and box office fare . in fact and it the perfect kind of movie to show a inflight entertainment and attention hold without put any intellectual or emotional challenge on the viewer . overall there be a cheesy feeling to the plot and vague terrorist subplot motivation and the support character and and the main section have a tv movie feel . however and there be definite element of hitchcockian suspense and and echo of schumacher phone booth and which ultimately be a more sophisticated ( and pretentious ) play on the same idea of emotional crisis be play out suppress in public . for a film that focus mainly on two people sit in airline seat and it live or die on the character and script . cillian icy but eloquent jackson rippner and rachel macadam resourceful lisa be the main reason the film get carry off . not only make the dialogue zing but also give some sort of adam rib type dimension to their battle of amale logic against feminine ensitivity . in the final portion of the film craven indulge himself a little scream style a man chase girl with knife . the most surprising revelation here be what brian cox look like after the just for men treatment and his ubiqutous appearance in film as diverse a super trooper and the ring and this make him the sexegenarian version of jude law . short haul fun . | 1pos

greeting again from the darkness . what a relief . a thriller that actually be thrill . new it girl rachel mcadams ( wed crasher and the notebook ) dominate screen time in this nice little classic suspense thriller from famed horror film director wes craven ( scream movie and a nightmare on elm street ) . craven even have a cameo a one of the passenger on the plane . what make this one work and be the realism of the first 15 20 minute a we see mcadams interact with 4 or 5 people either in person or on the phone . she be a natural . when she meet cillian murphy ( the scarecrow in batman begin ) in what appear to be happenstance and the film really take flight . watch the two yuppie type flirt while the audience know something evil be brew and be bewitch film making . the plane board sequence be mesmerize and the 30 plus minute onboard be excruciatingly claustrophobic . craven keep u guess a to the involvement of others and if anyone will come to her rescue . a with many thriller and the only letdown occurs during the climax when the lamb turn into a superhero . an interesting plot device lead u to believe little rachel have the necessary pent up frustration to see this through and but we can not help but cringe a bit . the most overdone scene involve irate hotel guest and an annoying airline passenger and cillian injury and the fx at the hotel . the strength of the film be in the character development and psychological game between the lead . sadly the fine screen veteran brian cox be under utilized and but overall this be an above average suspense thriller worth see for all but the finale . | 1pos

red eye start in texas where hotel receptionist lisa reisert ( rachel mcadams ) be about to catch the last red eye flight back to miami where she live and work . while wait for her plane lisa meet the handsome and charm jackson rippner ( cillian murphy ) and they both seem to hit it off and then when they board the plane they discover that by a coincidence they be seat next to each other . once the plane take off and they be in the air jackson reveals who he really be and that their seemingly chance meeting be not a coincidence and jackson say that he be work for someone who want to assassinate the homeland security secretary charles keefe ( jack scalia ) and they need her to change his room at the hotel where she work in miami . jackson tell lisa to phone the hotel and make it happen or her father will be kill . direct by wes craven who be perhaps well know for his horror film such a the last house on the left ( 1972 ) and a nightmare on elm street ( 1984 ) and the serpent and the rainbow ( 1989 ) and the people under the stair ( 1991 ) and the scream trilogy of teen slasher a short and punchy and fast pace little thriller like red eye seem like a big departure from the sort of film craven usually make . the script by carl ellsworth make for a surprisingly grip thriller that i must admit i really enjoy and at only 85 odd minute in length it a very quick moving and economical and straight to the point sort of film that focus almost entirely on one tight and taught plot rather than go off in various direction with lot of subplots . some may like this approach like i do while other may not but i think it draw you into the action a lot more a it come thick and fast without the film slow down any and give you a chance to relax . i really like the plot for red eye and sure a film like this be always go to have one or two questionable moment in term of plot but what the hell and it a film make to entertain and for me that what it do . i really like the two central character and lisa come across a very likable while jackson rippner ( an obvious play on the name of the notorious victorian serial killer jack the ripper ) be a suitably slimy villain with a cold i be only do my job type mentality . another plus point be that i do not think anyone behave overly stupid here and everyone actually seem like human being and the film play out in a relatively plausible fashion . i really like this and it one of craven well more recent film . craven turn in a good solid tense and tight and taught and fast pace thriller with an attractive cast and some good action and a gripping plot . he certainly doesn not hang about and once he start the action and tension he never let up and far and away the most effective part of the film be when rippner be hold lisa hostage on the plane and once the film switch to miami and lisa father house it do become a little bit more routine but it still good . a special mention go to rachel mcadams who be absolutely gorgeous in this and i could probably watch red eye again just because she be in it and look drop dead stunning . those who see wes craven name attach to red eye expect a horror film should think again since there no horror in it at all ( despite the imdb list horror a red eye genre ) . i be not sure about the end and on the one hand it be nice to see the villain live for a change which go against traditional expectation but it might have be more satisfying to see lisa kill him in some way . dreamworks apparently give red eye an initial budget of $ 44 and 000 and 000 but reduce it to $ 25 and 000 and 000 although it still a very well make film with glossy production value . actually shoot in los angeles and florida in california . the film be supposedly write with husband and wife sean penn and robin wright penn intend for the lead but eventually the maker opt for young lead . a i have already say rachel mcadams be pure eye candy and be a total babe in this and worth watch the film for on her own . oh and and she put in a decent performance too . red eye be a really fast pace taught tension fill little thriller that i enjoy immensely and i do not think i would enjoy it as much a i do and i be glad i decide to watch it . this definitely get a recommendation from me and rachel mcadams really be hot stuff in this . | 1pos

red eye be a good little thriller to watch on a saturday night . intense acting and great villain and unexpected action . some might not want to see this movie because it go for a very short 85 min and 88 % of the movie be on a plane and just talk . don not worry they pull it off very well with the smart and witty dialog . a pg 13 movie seem to be new ground for director wes craven . but surely enough he have fit a much violence a he possibly can into this thriller . this movie strongest point be it cast . this film need good actor to deliver the dialog and thrill . if they do not have those actor the film would have be lose and boring . we have rachel mcadams from mean girl and wed crasher . cillian murphy from batman begin and 28 day later . round off this cast be brian cox from x men 2. the pacing in this film be great . just when your think it go to get bore they throw a twist at you . luckily this isn not a long movie and doesn not feel like it either . much well then the other flight movie flight plan . here be my flight plan comment represent http represent or or www . imdb . com or title or tt0408790 or usercomments 578i recommend . not too long and not too shabby . positive . | 1pos

i do not want this to get complicate and leese . i have to assume she gon na read that . fear take flight at 30 and 000 foot in this taut and action thriller . an overnight flight to miami quickly become a battle for survival when lisa ( rachel mcadams ) realize her seatmate ( cillian murphy ) be plan to use her a part of a chill assassination plot . a the minute tick by and she in a race against time to warn the potential victim before it to late . one of the many reason i love this movie and be because of the chemistry between the two star and mcadams and murphy and who be also two of my top favorite actor . for example and the early scene at the airport play more like a romantic comedy represent two people keep run into each other . i get to hand it to the two a well and for make a film like this work . especially and murphy character . jackson who really seem to be sort of complicate in that way that he act charm and innocent and yet he try to do his job and make lisa feel trap physically and mentally . i mean and in certain part he really seem to be concern for lisa . a great thrill ride all the way through . a lot of film i would hate to see a prequel or a sequel about and but actually i wouldn not mind a prequel to this one and which would take place with jackson surveilling lisa . favorite scene be probably that headbutt scene and because it be so unexpected . there be also that nice buildup to the famous pen scene . when be she go to make her move . there be also that nice change in mcadam lisa and where she change herself from be a victim into fight back . i also love the scene where she sit down in the food court and pretend to ask some lady a survey about the food court . how great be murphy with his whole weezing . | 1pos

lisa be a hotel manager or owner and she get on a flight to miami . she end up sit next to an assassin name jackson who tell her that she have to switch a room of a family or her father dy . the reason she have to switch the room be because jackson want to blow it up . it a great suspense movie because lisa try several way to escape this ploy that jackson have set up . the whole storyline be great and i think that they could have spend some more time on the plane . there could have more to the plane but other than that and the whole movie be pretty good . i especially like the end because it be heart stopping . i do not know what be go to happen and i be surprise by it . for me and this movie just take off . | 1pos

this be an excellent and fast paced thriller by wes craven ( nightmare on elm street ) and who for 85 minute leaf aside the supernatural and present u with something even more terrify the evil of human being . we be far more likely to encounter the benign evil of jackson rippner than freddy kruger and and cillian murphy ( batman begin ) do an excellent job of present a sociable and friendly and even charismatic killer . the performance by murphy and by rachel mcadams ( claire and from the wed crasher ) be brilliant . most of the film take place on a very intimate level and between two people and their eye and their face . it be action on a small scale and not the broad sweep of the canvas and and it be no less compel for these limitation . the cinematography be nothing special and though of course one can do only so much with a camera in the confines of a passenger jet and but the dialog be excellent and the story taut . there be no distraction and no subplots confuse the issue which be at it heart a battle between the main character . by keep his focus and avoid distraction and wes craven be able to take what be a very minimal plot and turn it into an exciting and fast paced action thriller . | 1pos

a very pretty red head woman wait for her plane meet a charming young man that she connect with . a the two get on their flight and sit next to each other the young man jack become deadly a he threaten lisa to either change the room that a politician and his wife will be stay in and or else have her father die . see now that what you happen when you fly coach and stuff like that never happen in first class . other than have a conflict that take place on a flight and the other thing that this movie share with flightplan be the sheer unbelievability if that a word of the story . the point of the whole be to get the main character to change a politician room so he can be assassinate which be a pretty plausible plan and but would not it have be easy for jack to just find someone that be computer savvy and have them hack into the hotel system . teenager today can damn near do anything with computer and so i be pretty sure it would have be easy for him to simply get someone to change it use a computer instead of go through the trouble of spy on lisa and get her into the predicament that she land on in the movie . plus one thing that strike me a odd be how no one on the plan hear a single thing they be talk about . this be a very small plane be talk about here and since their voice be raise occasionally it seem to me like the other passenger should have hear something . but i be 100 % sure that i be read way too much into it . the movie be mean to be as realistic a an episode of 24 so one can not be perplex by such complexity . for all my complaint though and this be still a very fun movie that get the job do . it not exactly the type that require to shut of your brain and but at the same time it doesn not require great intelligence to fully enjoy . i would love to sit here in my comfy chair and rave about the brilliant acting in the movie but really i can not . i love rachel mcadams and i love cillian murphy and and i like brian cox and but they do not really stretch their acting muscle here . it not really much of a problem since this isn not the movie that studio hope to win multiple award and the act isn not the least bit horrible and just not great . wes craven isn not exactly the first that come to mind when you think of a movie like this and but he do a very nice job consider the time they have to film the movie and the lack of depth to the script . it be definitely a huge improvement over the disappointing cursed and as much a i like him do something different with this movie and i still would love for him to go back to do what he do in the past which be great horror movie that be talk about decade after it release . one nice thing about the movie which i really appreciate be just how short the movie be . it be great to sit and watch a nice three hour or so movie once in a while and but nowadays it like every movie that come out feel too long and where a this movie just felt like the right length . not too long and and too short . they do not waste time by try to develop the character too much because they know this isn not the movie for that and by do so they make a very nice short movie . be a huge film music geek and i have to say that the best part of the movie be the ultra cool score by marco beltrami . it really nice to see beltrami go from write the predictable stuff to the great music he do now . i really the cool techno or orchestral stuff he do for the main title . too bad that i can not find the soundtrack anywhere and would have really love to listen to the title anytime i want instead of have to pop in the dvd when i want to hear it . overall it nice for what it be and whiles it far from great cinema and should still provide for some small entertaining hour and a half . | 1pos

( you will know what i mean after you have see red eye . ) overall and red eye be a good than expect thriller . it get off to a slow start and and slowly build . but by the time it be over and it a thumper . it hard to exactly define what make this thriller a . thrill a i find it . except that and simply put and the director do a creditable job of pull you into the action of what would otherwise have be a run of the mill plot . i rather tend to forget i be watch a movie . that say a lot . other factor and i think and be the closeness of victim and bad guy . and that over time and you begin to really relate to the victim . a scant positive and more like a 7 . 5. but that pretty good . | 1pos

great little thriller . i be expect some type of silly horror movie but what i get be tight short thriller that waste none of our time . mostof these movie we have to get into the back character story so we will either feel sympathy for them or hatred when people start get kill . o such foolishness here . yes you see a few character but they really only interact with the principal . such a the husband wife at the motel whose room be cancel . we saw them so we could just how efficient the lisa character be and how inefficient the new hotel clerk be . we see the little girl simply because she will have a very small but important role later in the movie when all heck break loose . the flight atrendants because we need on in particular to move the plot ahead . the bad guy in particular need her in the beginning of the flight . the rude guy in the airport be important to the movie too . the only 2 character that be just 5 liner with no use to the plot be the two young guy on the plane . that be clever because i think they would have something to do with plot . from the first scene to the last the woman character a young hotel executive name lisa be in charge . even when jackson show his true color she doesn not panic . she think what she can do to stall time . any other movie the smart executive woman would be act like idiot . but not this one . it be a very short movie and i be wait for the usual plot device to kick in because the movie seem to be come to it conclusion fast . thankfuly none of them be use . the new hotel clerk do not do the usual called and tell her what to do and which be panic drop the phone and run out of the hotel without say anything and or question your bos and tell her she have to much to drink and just dismiss her . be craven should do more of these type of movie . also one last comment . brian cox be in the movie but i have not one clue who he be . i have to come over here to see that he be lisa father . he be completely unrecognizable . | 1pos

the premise be simple . this movie start out look like your average lame chick flick about two attractive young people meet each other in an airport and then thing take a 180 degree turn . i for one and really dislike the kind of mind numb love story nonsense that pollute the average movie theater . and it be my humble opinion that wes craven and base on his previous meta horror film ( sceam ) do too . follow this logic and it not surprise to find that craven sardonically take his time to build up a nauseatingly sweet ependipity love story and only to have an awesome cillian murphy wreck that whole sugar coat dreamworld . the scope of his character jackson ripner ( jack the ripper and get it . lame and right . ) in this film be impressive and he go from be utterly charming to be a twist nihilistic sicko and which be a plus in my book . a he proceed to freak out his victim ( jennifer garner lookalike rachel mcadams and who i find pretty annoy by the way ) and you can not help but sympathize with the guy . this be wes craven and embody in jackson ripner and through cillian murphy and bash all brainless chick flick . mr. craven and i salute you . best quote representjackson ripner ( after beat the snot out of rachel mcadams in the airplane toilet ) represent thanks for the quickie . | 1pos

i have read with great interest the only available comment make before mine on this movie and i would first like to say that i understand the point of view of the previous user who comment on this movie very well represent view from an israeli perspective and i can very well imagine that this movie touch upon very sensitive issue and that the slight detail can have a great importance for a viewer who be more or less directly concern by the event depict in this movie . what i would like to say be that distortion be show at a film festival in geneva in november 2005 ( festival cinéma tout écran ) where it win the award of the audience ( prix du publicin french ) . for what affect me and i like the nervous camera work of mr bouzaglo and who and in my opinion and portray an atmosphere of extreme tension and uneasiness in the movie very well and and i think that most of the swiss viewer appreciate this in the movie . this perspective and however and might seem totally alien to an israeli viewer and but not so surprising when it come to swiss viewer and because switzerland be a country which have never be subject to any terrorist attack . it therefore come a no surprise that the audience in geneva judge this film with a much more wouldetached perspective . i would also like to quote what mr bouzaglo say when he be interview by a geneva newspaper ( i be translate from french ) represent after 50 year of living here and after undergo all this violence and we may ask ourselves if it be still possible to remain normal . we might sometimes think that it would be easy to commit suicide than to go on living . we be like the character in my movie and on the edge of the edge . this be the reason why the private detective and who be somehow voyeur be the happy character in the movie and because he earn a living thanks to the system and he take advantage of this situation this be and in substance and the main thing that i and the swiss public and in my opinion and point out in this movie and and that we do not pay attention to some inconsistency regard the character in the movie which the precedent reviewer point out with great accuracy and humor . so and to sum up and different country equal different perspective and but i think that this be somehow great and because it reassure me for what affect the future of cinema and that be to say that it well never be subject to a unique of formatted way of thinking . | 1pos

distortion be a disturbing and haunting film and about life imitate art and art reflect life . haim bouzaglo and the director of the film and play the role of haim bouzaglo and artistically block and sexually impotent playwright and who find inspiration in his suspicion about the subject of his girl friend documentary . a an arab suicide bomber and disguise in skullcap and american t shirt and wanders through the landscape in search of his target and his nerve and haim transcribes his girl friend life a she film her documentary and incorporate himself and his actor live during rehearsal . but the bomber have already strike and haim have leave the restaurant just minute earlier . despite the manipulation of time and space and the story be crystal clear and comprehensive and absorb and a brilliant commentary on the distortion of everyday israeli life and where the political be intertwine with the personal and where everyone live on the edge and and people never know whether they be play lead role in their own life or be merely dispensable bit player in someone else dramatic narrative . bouzaglo play with this notion of everyone be an actor in someone else production brilliantly . we be always voyeur and see what the fictional director see illicitly but also what the real director choose to reveal . to remind u that these glimpse be violation of privacy and bouzaglo take u into the bathroom and the bedroom ( sometimes the bedroom be the street and rooftop ) and and repeatedly frame his view within tv and video and or security screen . actor play the role of actor who represent the real character play by actor . of course and each of the actor be the star of his or her own production and only dimly aware of their diminished role in their fellow actor personal film . the detective hire by the playwright become a character in the play . the actor hire to play the role of the detective seek out the detective for tip on how to play the role and be catch by the detective on surveillance tape and and they attend a cast party a their real self . despite this multiplicity of view and there be no mistake the clear line of this narrative represent the playwright search for subject matter and the bomber seek a target and and the detective stalk the filmmaker . nor be there any difficulty locate bouzaglo ultimate targetenervated and impotent israel and fully conscious of the threatening peril but incapable of meaningful action . israel be bouzaglo and the impotent fictional playwright cannibalize his own life for his play . israel be also the bankrupt soldier entrepreneur who be the subject of the filmmaker documentary and the cheating actor and actress and and the cuckolded husband . they be all israel because they be all helpless and catch in inaction or aimless action and a the bomber scan the landscape for his best target . all the character can do a another bombing be report be have sex and keep score of victim . there be personal triumph and vindication and perhaps revenge at the end of this play within a story within a film and but viewer will be leave ache for the state of israel even a they be fill with admiration for bouzaglo memorable rendition of a nation plight within the telling of an individual story . | 1pos

this be arguably the best film director haim bouzaglo make until now . a skilled tv director and well train in story telling and in direct his actor through long epic he try to catch in this very low budget film the essence of the very special psychological situation the israelis live though under the permanent danger of the terror attack and result in wouldistorted life . each character try to live his own life and to watch and control the other and while be himself watch and control by other character and mostly by the continuous pressure and by political and historical force well beyond his control . some call this destiny and but destiny have a very concrete representation in this film . there be no explicit political say in distortion . character never discuss politics and not even at the level of say bastard . when they hear that a new terror attack happen . their reaction to event be to localize the attack and to count the victim use the official and medium terminology for the dead and the wound . they do not really live but rather survive on borrowed time happy to have survive one bomb and and wait for the next one to happen . personal and social and professional life seem to work someway and but be deeply flaw and influence by event . the main character play by the director be a playwright whose mid life personal and creative crisis be amplify by the pressure of the event and by the fact that he be lucky enough to leave a terror attack site minute before the bomb explodes . he hire a private detective to follow his girlfriend who be a tv investigative reporter whom he suspect be fall in for the subject of her next show another fail man and former military and whose business and family life dismantles under the event . he start to write a play that carbon copy the reality and will bring it to the stage and in theater in film scene that remind hamlet as well a synecdoche and new york . it not that i would dare suspect charlie kaufman look over the shoulder of bouzaglo and he certainly need not that and but the israeli director screen be brilliant into anticipate the later film ( and the first direct by kaufman ) . a in the american film actor play real person and start interact with them in an reality meet stage meet reality melange which never lack logic and at least not artistic logic . bouzaglo direct his actor with the usual talent and trust them and allow them the freedom of living through the situation rather then act them . his style be much more free here than in his tv series and and the wouldistortion effect and although borrow from american horror movie work pretty well all over . the end seem to me a little rhetorical and unsatisfying dramatically and but the shade of the suicidal killer who be haunt the film and the whole situation in a temporal loop will also follow the viewer when remember later this film . | 1pos

distortion be a movie that sort of caught me by surprise . a sort of multi layer drama that focus on a man write a play about his life experience that be happen to him right at this moment . to be more concise and he feel that his wife be cheat on him and so he hire a private eye to snoop on him . his wife have no idea that this be happen . meanwhile and the actor in this play be also have a few whoopdedoodles up their sleeve by fool around with each other and with and shall we say and unscrupulous people in the world of israel . the whole thing culminates in a theater with all the actor present and the predictable ( but not really ) happen . the director of the piece really keep thing move along with the ensemble cast of character and and edits in a way that make you pay attention and this be a fun film actually and one which i do not mind viewing and would recommend people check out . | 1pos

i saw this when it premier and just re watch it on ifc again . this be a great telling of the many possible story about the immigrant farmworker population that come to hawaii to work the sugar plantation in the early 1900 . my grandparent be part of that migration while my parent be bear on a kohala plantation ( big island ) at the time setting of the movie . i move to the big island over a year ago after live in california for over 30 year . i be surprise to see that many of the former cane grow land be still undeveloped and with wild cane still grow and year after the plantation close . i have hear many story from my aunt and uncle who be kid grow up on the plantation . this movie help to image those kind of story and memory . this story be more of an historical document than a romantic plot drive movie . it leave me shake my head to read a review like ccthemovieman . some people just do not get it . i do not recall that youki kudoh have the starring role and with which she do an incredible job . i recall her great performance in jim jarmusch mystery train and in an australian film and co star with russell crowe and heaven burning . tamlyn tomita do a great job with her pidgin english and especially for someone who do not grow up in the island . i have forget that toshiro mifune have a cameo role a the move picture show narrator . and i miss the fact that jason scott lee have an uncredited and non speak part a one of the plantation worker during the payday scene . i be sadden to find out that the director and co writer and kayo hatta and die in an accidental drowning in 2005. there be two other excellent foreign film that mirror this cane plantation experience represent gaijin about the immigrant cane worker in brazil ( many of them japanese ) in the same time period while and sugar cane alley about the cane plantation experience in africa . the latter be still available and but gaijin and sadly and doesn not appear to have be show in quite a while . another great film about the early asian in america experience when immigrant be more like slave be a thousand piece of gold . this be set over the chinese worker involvement in the building of the railroad and star rosalind chao and chris cooper and michael paul chan and and dennis dun . | 1pos

this be a great film . from read other review and i can see that i be not the only one who shed a tear . tamilyn tomita act with such skill and conviction and she make the end heartfelt and memorable . in the hand of a less actress and her last scene would have seem trite and corny . one would never guess this film be do on a tight and limited budget . the cinematography be gorgeous and there be a number of big name actor . the script be so wonderful and i can see why they all want to be in it . if you watch the long and long list of credit at the end and you will see that half of hawaii pitch in to make this film happen and and for good reason . the soundtrack ( available on cd ) be absolutely beautiful and set the mood throughout the film . my only complaint be that i almost do not want the film to end . | 1pos

picture bride have an excellent look into hawaii past and the people who live there in that time . the time and money earn and the hour that these people have put into their life to survive and live and take a whole new meaning to blood and sweat and tear . the concept of date or matchmaking be something like what we do similar today via the net . just that be more of snail mail . very slow snail mail . the singing of the plantation song from the worker remind me of the southern plantation worker song of their demise and future goal . the movie show the hardship as well a soft romantic scene that hawaii can bring . like the stillness of a storm come and the sudden chaos of the rain and then the tranquility . | 1pos

the big reason i have to see this movie be that it star susan swift and an outstanding and all too underappreciated actress . time travel movie usually do not interest me and neither do movie about witchcraft and but this movie be fascinate and creepy . it do not rely on outrageous special effect and it do not focus so heavily on the time travel that the viewer get lose and confuse . this be a really creative movie keep simple and focused with great act by all . | 1pos

in the seemingly endless quest to find well make and well acted horror film and it be all too rare to find one that even come remotely close to hit the mark . needless to say and i be very pleasantly surprise when i stumble across burn at the stake on a u. s. cable network while i be flip channel . the premise be reasonably simple . in 1692 and young ann putnam ( swift ) be the most vocal witness against allege witch and level baseless charge against anyone who earn her displeasure . manipulate her for his own end be reverend parris ( peter ) who also serve a the court guide on matter pertain to witchcraft and satanism . thing get complicate when ann start accuse member of the goode family of witchcraft . salem ( of 1980 or so ) and loreen graham ( also play by swift ) begin have unusual vision shortly before she visit the salem witch museum . a strange man in seventeenth century garb try to accost her there and the building . he continue to stalk her while strange phenomenon begin to involve her more and more . soon and it appear that she be become possess by the spirit of ann putnam . unfortunately and further description get rather involved and would give too much away . though the film be not action orient and would likely be of little interest to many viewer and the performance be good and the seventeenth century dialogue use in the film many flashback sound very convincing . the production value be solid with the possible exception of some of the special effect . in a side note and the film technical advisor be laurie cabot and salem official witch . viewer who appreciate a well make and atmospheric and but understated horror film may appreciate this . the writer or director and bert i. gordon and have have a long career in horror and science fiction filmmaking and be best know for his work on a number of big bug film and similar work year earlier . | 1pos

the first time i saw it i get half of it but i watch and i know later on it be about a salem witch trial . they focus on the sara good family . she be famous for curse a priest which come true . in the film it depict her daughter dorcas and her husband the spirit of ann putnam sara husband come to the future hunt this girl to redeem her soul . which do happen at the end of the movie . dorcas be depict a witch at 5years old who be burn at the stake . which never happen ann putnam save her from the flame . the girl be safe she go to ann putnam grave to to see that be not empty but it be at first because she accuse her of witchcraft and and let her burn to death . now that ann putnam save her her spirit be redeem and and she be not a outcast to society for the salem witch trial . | 1pos

now i have the pleasure of first view contaminate man when it premier on tv back in december of 2000. an infectious disease expert ( william hurt ) loose his family when an unknown disease enter his home and kill them . now some year later he be now in russia or someplace . i be not sure where exactly and all i know be it take place somewhere in that area . anyway and because of budget cutback at an infectious disease laboratory and they be force to lay off most of their worker . one of them and a disgruntled security guard name joseph muller ( play peter weller and best know for his role a the indestructible robocop ) go in there and demand that they give him his job back . he need this job because he be divorce and he need it to pay child support . so he go in there and a fight break out and and some thing get knock over and dangerous thing . it soon discover that muller have be infect with a deadly pathogen . in fact it so deadly and one drop of his blood will kill a person in matter of second . soon word get out and the disease expert ( hurt ) be call in to investigate and he later team up with an american reporter . now muller be determine to get home to see his wife and son and will stop at nothing even if he have to infect the entire russian population . now a i say before this film be a lot like fall down . we have a disturbed person ( weller here and michael douglas in fall down ) who will stop at nothing to accomplish there goal even if they have to kill a few people in the process . next we have a hero type person ( hurt here and robert duvall in fall down ) who be both sympathetic and determine to stop the antagonist . contaminate man be in fact a very good film with a good story line and some very good performance . positive . | 1pos

this movie be great and i would like to buy it . the boy go with his grandfather to catch a young eagle . the boy have to fee and care for the eagle until it be old enough to be sacrifice for the crop . the boy save the eagle from be kill and run away from the tribe . the eagle help fee him by catch a duck from a small pond the boy scar up . later the boy shoot a deer that a bully kid be claim because their arrow be mark very close the same . only until they check the thickness of the red line do they determine who actually get the deer . but this be unfortunate because it make the other boy even crueler to him and and at the end he be be chase up onto a cliff but when you think he will fall off his pure love for the eagle transform him into a golden eagle with only a necklace a a reminder of who he be . please if anyone know where i can buy this movie let me know . i haven not see it for over 30 year and but still remember part of the movie . deniselacey2000 @ yahoo . com . | 1pos

someday somebody be go to write an essay comparing paul naschy fury of the wolfman to the great spanish surrealist film and lage dor and un chien andelou . the naschy film be a masterpiece of delirium from begin to end . dali and bunuel probably love it and and eat their heart out see someone do with such apparent ease what they have to rack their brain to pull off . the film lack cohesive structure even though it do have a plot that move from a to b to c. some mishmash about a professor walterman his first name and mind you who be bite by a yeti monster during an expedition to tibet and hasn not be the same since and which be understandable . one of his jealous colleague and the insane daughter of the noted doctor wolfstein and know about his condition and reveals that his wife have be cheat on him . but it a setup for a twisted scientific experiment to unleash his inner beast . walterman flip out and turn into a werewolf and kill a few people and be electrocute and dy and be bury and unburied and take to a castle fill with circus freak and wire to various machine and zap with assorted electronic effect and inject with potent elixir and be chain up and turn into a werewolf and a woman in an evening gown with thigh high nazi fetish boot whip him and he escape and help the pretty female doctor find her way out of the castle and fend off the circus freak with a battle axe and eventually turn back into a werewolf and and have to fight to the death against the female werewolf incarnation of his cheat wife . the lady with the nazi boot shoot him with silver bullet from her luger pistol and they die together and and the pretty doctor walk off into the morning with the studly reporter and who do nothing . look . what a beautiful day it be . la furia del hombre lobo be write by paul naschy in a hurry . original director enrique eguilez be fire and replace by josé maría zabalza and a drunk who be infamously intoxicate throughout the production . he be often unable to work ( though he do find time to instruct his 14 year old nephew to make some alteration to the script ) and naschy end up direct much of the film uncredited . zabalza do rally enough to clip some action scene from one of naschy previous movie and mark of the wolfman . the scene be fortunately good enough to use twice even if the costume be different and and help pad out the runtime after zabalza refuse to get out of bed to finish the movie . post production be a nightmare . nobody know who be do the editing and the money run out and the master print disappear for a while and and then at a pre release screen for a film distributor the executive arrive to find zabalza urinate into the gutter in front of the theater . he be too drunk to find the restroom but at least he make it to the curb . yet somehow the film work and if you let it . it key into those atavistic memory we have about murky castle and vault catacomb and chain and whip and gloomy moor . fan of those sort of thing will find it hypnotically watchable even if the story a a whole doesn not make much sense due to the fractured discontinuity of the execution . in one scene it pouring rain and the wolfman howl at the lightning while in the next shot it bone dry and he howl at the full moon . then it raining again . and yet you do not look at it a a gaffe . it like an unfolding dream where contradiction be possible and opposite be the same and and effect proceed cause while first the wolfman pick up the power cable and scream and and then the cable start spark with electricity . people say it low budget hurt the overall effectiveness i say the film would have be unwatchable if they have a dime more to spend . it be a marvel of make something out of nothing and and succeed not because of what it could of had and but because of what it do . it easy to laugh at stuff like this and even easy to dismiss it . the trick be be able to see through the mayhem and or rather to regard the chaos a part of the effect . paul naschy die last week at the age of 75. he have be ill with pancreatic cancer for a year or more and be work on film project right up until his last day and but pass away in madrid and spain and with his family while receive chemotherapy treatment . his rich and varied and and surprisingly lengthy career be a legacy to a man stubbornly pursue his artistic vision in the face of universal mainstream disinterest . and yet in all of u there be an eleven year old kid who will watch his movie like fury of the wolfman in rapt awe . even people who do not like euro horror will discover something in this movie to marvel at and if only for just a minute in a couple spot . you can find it for free at archive . org or even buy it on a dvd for a nickel . it worth far and far more . amusingly and naschy be horrify to learn that many others like myself regard this twisted and sick and demented little movie a a classic and if not an outright masterpiece of cinema dementia . the problem he encounter during the production and the mess of a film that be leave after be perhaps too personal an artistic disappointment for naschy to forgive . i would never presume to dare to forgive it for him and but i will say this represent i would rather watch fury of the wolfman in it dingiest and most cut and degrade fullscreen public domain print than ever sit though the overbearing and obnoxious crap churn out up at the swine flu cineplexes this or any other weekend . the world lose a great artist this month . watch his film and and remember . positive . |

this movie be stuff full of stock horror movie goody represent chain lunatic and pre meditate murder and a mad ( vaguely lesbian ) female scientist with an even mad father who wear a mask because of his horrible disfigurement and poisoning and spooky castle and werewolf ( male and female ) and adultery and slain lover and tibetan mystic and the half man or half plant victim of some unnamed experiment and grave robbing and mind control and wall up body and a car crash on a lonely road and electrocution and knight in armour the lot and all top off with an incredibly awful score and some of the bad foley work ever do . the script be incomprehensible ( even by badly dub spanish horror movie standard ) and some of the editing be just bizarre . in one scene where the lead female evil scientist go to visit our heroine in her bedroom for one of the badly dub represent that be fantastical . i do not understand . explain to me again how this be . exposition scene that litter this movie and there be a sudden hand hold cutaway of the girl thigh a she get out of bed for no apparent reason at all other than to cover a cut in the bad scientist mwahaha . all your werewolf belong mine . speech . though why they go to the bother i do not know because there be plenty of other jar jump cut all over the place even allow for the atrocious pan and scan of the print i saw . the director be and accord to one interview with the star and drunk for most of the shoot and the film look like it . it be an incoherent mess . it make even more incoherent by the inclusion of werewolf rampage footage from a different film the mark of the wolf man ( make 4 year earlier and feature the same actor but play the part with more aggression and with a different shirt and make up be there a word in spanish for continuity . ) and more padding of another actor in the wolfman get up amble about in long shot . the music be incredibly bad vary almost at random from full orchestral creepy house music and to bosannova and to the long piano and gong duet ever record . ( think about it and it might not have be a duet . it might have be a solo . the piano part be so simple it could have be pick out with one hand while the player whack away at the gong with the other . ) this be one of the most bewilderedly trance state induce bad movie of the year so far for me . enjoy . favourite line represent ilona . this madness and perversity will turn against you . how true . favourite shot represent the lover and discover his girlfriend slain and drop the candle in a cartoon like demonstration of surprise . rank amateur directing there . | 1pos

this movie catch a lot of flak and but this be usually base on the horrible look and cover or clothed version of the film that play u television and have also be issue to death on vhs and dvd buy company like alpha and unicorn and etc . this movie never have a theatrical release in the state and although it be pick up by avco embassy in 1973. in spain at the time and when there be nudity involve and the filmmaker shoot two version and one with clothes and one with out . the fully uncut english dub export print be title werewolf never sleep and seem to have be release to home video only in sweden back in the 80 . it can be find on ebay and the like and come highly recommended . my guess be avco cut the film down for a r rat release that never happen . in 1974 it be release by avco to television title fury of the wolfman and the clothed version be use for this tv print . cut to 12 year later and fury of the wolfman pop up on home video on the charter label . this version appear to be what avco be go to release back in 73. it the uncovered version and with some nudity that would never pass on tv or in a pg movie . there be several scene on the charter tape that play out with nudity that be clothe in the tv print ( the source for all those dollar dud and vhs edition ) . but a comparison to the fully uncut wolfman never sleep reveals that 2 scene be cut on this version . ( spoiler in next paragraph ) the scene where ilona have waldermar chain to the wall and whip him after he transform into the werewolf be incomplete . after whip him into submission and she start to remove her clothes and begin make love to the werewolf . the werewolf respond positively to these sexual shenanigan too . this scene certainly rank a one of the most unusual in the history of horror film and be a delirious treat . it not graphic but the implied bestiality be too much for u audience and or more likely the mpaa . ilona be desperately in love with waldemar and could not possess him and hence her whole scheme to mind control waldermar wife and involve her in an affair . she want to wreck his marriage and and she accomplish this while waldemar be in tibet . unfortunately he return a werewolf and but this do not slow her down a bit . if she can not physically have him a a man and she love him enough to have sex with him a a werewolf . this also help explain the late scene where the werewolf bed down with a woman he spot get naked before bedtime while peep through her window . this scene be present sans nudity in the covered version and really make no sense . in the uncut version and it would seem ilona affection have make the werewolf horny and in need of release and so he rap the first woman he can after escape . the other cut be a complete scene of waldemar in bed with karen and she be see naked . a very similar bedroom scene be cut out of the u version of werewolf shadow ( werewolf vs the vampire woman ) as well . the film do have it problem though and for certain . the director be drunk and the bad stand in for the werewolf at point and the atrocious english dubbing and the inclusion of sequence from the first waldemar film mark of the wolfman aka frankensteins bloody terror and the grotesque overuse of that film music score throughout etc and but see in it original widescreen format and uncut ( ie represent werewolf never sleep ) it be one of the wild and most outrageous of the daninsky werewolf series and with a plot line unmatched in it everything but the kitchen sink approach . the cut or clothe pan and scan full screen copy of this film do it no favor and and unfortunately that the version almost everyone comment on the film have see . the film carry a 1970 copyright and and i would bet the 1972 release date on the imdb be incorrect . the film precedes werewolf shadow ( aka werewolf v the vampire woman ) in the series and be certainly release before werewolf shadow . the end of werewolf never sleep or fury of the wolfman dovetail directly into the opening of werewolf shadow and offer concrete evidence of this . sadly a complete version of this may never get a decent release . a perfect release would be the uncut english version but in spanish with english subtitle . the english dubbing severely hurt the movie . but any spanish language version would reflect the covered version a show in spain during the franco era and where nudity be verboten . | 1pos

for someone who remember jane in the daily mirror strip cartoon and view this film be an exercise in nostalgia . in that context it be wonderful and but young viewer would undoubtedly find the comedy limp and would miss the point that the actor be cartoon character . the plotline be also a bit limp for today audience and but reflect the naivety of the 40 and 50 very well . jane and you must remember and be part of the escapist fantasy of the wartime year and create to boost the morale of the troop . she give a double meaning to the strip in strip cartoon . the story have something in common with the tale of edgar rice burroughs and rider haggard . the theme would have be a familiar one to reader in that era and a bunch of bumble nazis thwart by a few equally bumble englanders and and set in the african jungle of course . for jane fan and a must see . for the rest of you and a damp squib . | 1pos

it sound a bit awkward to call a film about war and holocaust shock since many of u will know only too well of the horror that war and violence brings . by use the adjective hocking i do not intend to imply that i be surprise about the thing tell about in this film or that i be formerly unaware of them and it be just that i be very much impress by the way in which this film show how crazy and incomprehensibly horrific it be to kill each other off and either with or without a reason . the first part of the film focus on hanna successful participation in the hungarian resistance . maruschka detmers would never have win an oscar for this performance and due to inconsistent directing and but still her acting be solid enough and she have enormous charisma . she be cast very well a hanna and immediately have our sympathy . her very beautiful look help and of course and but that have nothing to do with her be simply a good actress and play a good part . certain inconsistency keep occur in hanna war . i sometimes get the idea director menahem golan ( often despise for the gianni versace murder ) be in a rush and should actually have allow a few more take per scene . on the other hand and i be very thankful he make this impressive and think provoke film and a i be very positive about it and i think he do a good job . the second half of the film be the most interesting and tragic one . it focus on hanna suffering ( beware of donald pleasence scary portrayal of the cruel and sardonic captain rosza ) and intensely show the injustice and horror that come with hate and violence and war . i receive hanna war and especially the second half and a a strong anti war film and for that alone golan deserve credit . it be also this second half in which maruschka detmer talent come out and create a character which go into film history a one of the most speaking and strong and tragic ever portray . it be also great to see ellen burstyn and whose appearance and act style always remind me of romy schneider and who have she be alive and cast would have make a similar effective contribution to hanna war . the tragic impact of the second half and the desperate tension which be sometimes replace by hopeful prospect and good news lead to a number of final scene which show something so unexpected and so moving and poetic in it tragedy that it hit me like a bomb and leave me in tear . and when i realize once more it wasn not even fiction and it all actually happen and i find myself in even more tear . the image of hanna portray by maruschka detmers will be in my mind forever . | 1pos

a a another reviewer state hanna war be an outstanding film about an outstanding person and hanna anniko senesh and who would become the jewish joan of arc . unfortunately i diverge in opinion not agree that miss detmers a the lead be too beautiful to be take seriously a a resistance fighter . in truth for me her performance be not hold back by her beauty but make it all the more stark in the terror of the sadistic brutality a a resistor she face . maruschka detmers performance be brave and poignant and heartfelt or understood and and totally believable . in other word for me in the zone . from the opening credit . if you would like to learn about the suffering of someone else for something they believe in and be impressively entertain give hanna war with maruschka detmers a try . my hat be off also to ellen burstyn a hanna mother a much well know and famous actress who could have make effort to walk off with the film . in that it be a team effort perhaps of two actress but not an all about eve situation . | 1pos

this be a really cool movie . it just go to prove that you do not need silly litle thing like continuity and script to make a movie . it traverse continent in second and people get shot and nothing happens to them and sword set on fire and samuari fight on sink galleon and david essex be the epitome of slimey villainy and john rhys davy be just the dude . i enjoy this movie but i like st movie and this be the perfect example of a very st movie that just kick as . if you like battlefield earth you will love this film and it swashbuckling and it fast and it silly and it samuaraitastic . it also look a if it be make in 1972 . | 1pos

it try to be the epic adventure of the century . and with a cast like shô kasugi and christopher lee and john rhys davies it really be the perfect b adventure of all time . it actually be a pretty fun and swashbuckling adventure that and even with it flaw and capture your interest . it must have felt a the big movie ever for the people who make it . even if it make in the 90 and it doesn not have a modern feel . it more have the same feeling that a old errol flynn movie have . big adventure movie be again the big thing in hollywood but i be afraid that the feeling in them will never be the same a these old movie have . this on the other hand and just have the real feeling . you just can not hate it . i think it an okay adventure movie . and i really love the soundtrack . damn and i want the theme song . | 1pos

by say that and i mean that this be not a well make movie but it a very good version of the real event and the best depiction so far . and if you be a ww2 buff then this be a treat for you and cause there be three out of four saboteur member play role in this movie . it theater act at best but then this be still as say before a semi documentary . me personally be a die hard fan of our nearly over human hero of the second world war and and there should be hundred of these movie show u what they do so it would not get forget by next generation . cause nowadays kid doesn not read book and they watch movie . so if you want a action extravaganza and rent private ryan and this be the truth about linger pain and outrageous endurance and the will to fight when all seem lose . | 1pos

this movie be a half documentary . and it be pretty interest . this be a good movie . base on the true story of how a bunch of norwegian saboturs manage to stop the heavy water production in rukjan and norway and the deliverance of the rest of the heavy water to germany . this movie isn not perfect and it could have be a bit well . the best part of the movie be that some of the saboturs be play by themselves . if youre interested in history of wwii and film this be a movie that worth a look . | 1pos

( we see a big shot of the dog butt and the flea whistle in excitement and scream t bone . he then sing and there food around the corner while there food around the corner . ) that set up the storyline of this cute but obnoxious flea torment the poor dog . the mutt be hilarious a he react to the flea . the drawing of his huge teeth chomp right next to the fleeing flea be clever and the dog dialog make me laugh out loud a few time . this might be the funny canine i have ever see in a cartoon . the poor pooch and under a threat of have to take a bath and a to not react when the stupid flea cause him pain . it almost painful to watch a the flea use pickax and jackhammer and the like on the dog . he put firecracker in the dog behind . it brutal . | 1pos

bob clampett an itch in time milk seven minute of crazy action out of a very small premise . elmer fudd tell his dog that if he scratch himself just once more that he will be give a dreaded bath . unfortunately for the dog and a relentless flea make it all but impossible to stop from scratch . the cartoon switch between the flea progress inside the dog fur and the dog desperate attempt to cope with it . in a great sequence that really capture the frustration of an itch that can not be scratch and the dog change colour from brown to blue to red to polka dot to plaid . it sound ludicrously surreal but it perfectly evoke the indescribable feeling of an itch in a way only clampett could . there be several other element which make an itch in time pure clampett . there the grotesque concept itself and which lead to some graphic scene of the flea munch on the dog flesh . there the unrestrained violence that rear it head in any scene feature the cat . most notably and there the dirty joke include a huge shot of the dog behind which cause the flea to wolf whistle and a hysterical sequence in which the dog attempt to scratch himself by drag his backside along the floor . he momentarily break off to address the audience represent hey and i good cut this out . i may get to like it . with a very limited concept and clampett manages to make an itch in time a unique and minutia base cartoon . like an early episode of seinfeld and an itch in time be practically about nothing but very funny with it . | 1pos

one of the many merrie melody cartoon that entertain american moviegoer during wwii and bob clampett an itch in time portray a hobo flea settle on elmer fudd dog . the little guy turn into a real sadist while make a home on the dog back and but elmer warn the dog represent one more scwatch and i will give you a bath . meanwhile and the flea be set up dynamite on the dog . and that not the end . i notice that in one scene and elmer be read a comic book feature bug bunny and porky pig . obviously and elmer and bug frequently co star but elmer never co star with porky ( unless you count the very short any bond today . ) . but to me and the thought of elmer read about these other famous character from his same genre stress the metaphysical nature of his world and a though he know of their existence within his universe even though they do not appear in this cartoon . of course and i be probably go too far in my analysis . i be sure that the cartoon be intend a pure entertainment and and it certainly entertain . a for the i might get to like this line and it sound a though that be something that the censor wouldn not have allow but somehow miss while i and for one and do not actually know what it be suppose to sound like . be it something sexual . a for the end and have i think that i would see everything and i would have be tempt to look for more and rather than do what the cat do ( although it be a neat trick ) . the guy behind these cartoon sure have a thing for tnt and do not they . | 1pos
