Dadd, Richard Movie Reviews

Me, my sister and my dad often have different taste in movies but when we caught this movie on cable we were all hooked by this action thriller.
In it a family on vacation are dragged off course and into a nightmarish reality by a gang of tougher then tough motorcyclist. If I remember right the daughter is abducted by the ring leader played by a charismatic blond dude with a wolfish grin and crazy eyes that make you think oh no here comes trouble! And trouble indeed happens as this innocent Any American family clash with the rough and tough desert land outsiders.

Will the mom's Apple pie serve as a great weapon(via catapult)? Find out in this exciting movie that seems to give a nod to Greek Myth. It's not only fun but smart! I also suggest the movie Sneakers for an exciting movie to watch.

This is an ok kids movie, like the movie Jack type, but the kids are not cute in this one! It stars that Ernest guy. Its an okay movie for like 9 and 10 yr olds.

The Treehouse Hostage, an evolutionary masterpiece in the art of high school drama, takes a daring step in analyzing the social dynamics of the youth of our nation. Starring such unsung talent as Jim Varney, who has played the hopelessly lovable Ernest in the well...Ernest movie classics series, plays a ex-vietnam, underwater, basket weaving coach who befriends a hilariously charming talking dolphin named Nicodemus. Jim Varney's arcane knowledge of ancient Filipino stick fighting style makes for a zenith in the realm of martial arts cinema, the culmination of 20th century action. Overall I would recommend this to anyone possessing any type of obsessive compulsive disorder of the shin, of south east Pennsylvanian descent, or is in any way named Bob. 5 stars. Nuff said.

i enjoyed this movie. buy it or rent it. enjoy it!

This film had some decent action scenes, but it was nothing beyond that. The story is a [compilation] of several movies you've already seen, the characters are dry and pointless, and Cuba Gooding Jr never seems to nail down exactly what kind of character he's portraying. I can't watch him act... I never know where he's coming from, and I can't watch him act like virtually the same character in every one of his movies. Skeet plays his part with no heart as well... in fact the entire cast does. I guess it must be hard to do a movie knowing the script is as horrible as this one.

Don't waste your money. There are better action films out there with heartfelt acting. This one isn't it.

great time around though the beginning is stupid and so is the premise but Skeet Ulrich and Cuba Gooding Jr have a razzle dazzle good time and it pays off big with them trying to keep the bomb cool and not to be killed by Peter Firth and his gang at the same time. the highlight would have to be when they slide down the side of a hill with a boat, great scene. David Paymer and Kevin J. O'Connor also star as well

Good stuff. Don't expect Oscar winning performances from it, just watch it to have fun!

The blonde babe is an incredible actress, wish they would have given her more lines......

It's the TP pilot episode which makes it a must have for the TP collector but is this really the best they could do? Whack out a really crappy direct tansfer, ignore all the phase distortion in the sound and just get it on the market for a few bucks? Was Ben Horne involved here? There is so much love and detail in the "Episodes" collection of the series that I can't believe this was actually released to the public. David Lynch, help! Push some buttons, make something happen. Get a better pilot with a few extra features released. I'll rebuy it.

This import is the 'originally aired' pilot, (less commercial time) 90 minutes. Does not have the added footage of the longer version, (as that 15 minutes or so) will be shown in the entire sequences, (in proper order) of the season run edition, which makes story flow correctly. This Pilot ends as it should, to ready you for the season premiere. Sound is correct. A couple of 'soft' words in a scene or two are a bit low, but hardly a detraction. 5.1 sound would not improve that. And, why, would you keep the sub-titles "on screen" if you are viewing it in english audio? So,'correct spelling subs' should mean nothing to you. Bottom line.. unless you are a regimented hardcore fanatic 'knitpicker', this edition is the one you need as the prequel to the series.

I should dock this disc a star for its sub par production, but I won't simply because the episode itself is so superb.

There are two things wrong with this DVD: first, releasing the pilot as a stand alone instead of incorporating it with the first season, and second, the inferior sound and video. Some of the reviewers are questioning the latter, but I can attest that when one compares one of the DVDs from the first season box set with the pilot DVD, there sound and video quality are not anywhere near the same. It does not render the show unwatchable, but it does detract from one's enjoyment.

The first of the two reasons I cite is equally unforgivable. Not only do I find it unforgivable to not include the pilot in the box set, I am not clear why they didn't just collect both seasons and the pilot in one set. It isn't as if there are that many minutes or episodes package. If shows like BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and THE SOPRANOS, which contain more minutes in one season than TWIN PEAKS did in total, can be easily packaged in one boxed set, why not it? What makes not including the pilot incomprehensible is the fact that the series makes absolutely no sense without the pilot, and the pilot doesn't mean anything without the ensuing episodes. From first to finish, these decisions baffle me, especially when one considers that the pilot is not currently available except for this import.

The fact that this is one of the most phenomenal TV series in history makes this even more lamentable. TWIN PEAKS is simultaneously one of the best and one of the most influential shows the medium has ever seen. America has never been as friendly towards Surrealism as has Europe, but one might make the case that David Lynch is our most important exponent of it. What makes the series so brilliant is the way that Lynch manages to blend surrealism, film noir, Hitchcockian humor (less recognized but just as influential as Hitchcockian suspense), and soap opera to create what was, up to that time, arguably the finest series TV had ever seen (though shows like THE PRISONER could easily take issue with that judgment). The show is so stylized as to almost succumb to self-parody, but even in the most delightfully absurd scenes, the show manages to hit precisely the right tone and balance.

The influence of TWIN PEAKS can be found in nearly every show that has tried to move away from a traditional self-contained episode format to longer story arcs. There had been shows that had tried to tell stories over a longer period of time. HILL STREET BLUES had had this approach, although one could still watch any one episode without having seen it before. But TWIN PEAKS made no sense whatsoever in episode-sized chunks. Except perhaps for shows the fourth season of ANGEL or a couple of seasons of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER or 24, no other show has places so much emphasis on the story as a whole. Without TWIN PEAKS, the long story arcs of THE X-FILES would have been impossible, as well as BABYLON FIVE, and BUFFY and ANGEL, and the whole host of shows that have followed, including THE SOPRANOS and DEAD LIKE ME. In all these shows, echoes of TWIN PEAKS can be heard.

Unfortunately, until they choose to produce a better quality edition of the pilot, this DVD will remain absolutely essential for anyone interested in the rest of the episodes.

well, this movie was ok, but you can't see anything because it's too dark and there is no lighting in it at all. i feel that movies.ign.com best implemented the problem with this film. it tries to include too many new concepts and ideas into one film about the supernatural or vampires(note: not a direct quote). maybe the reason other people that wrote reviews for this movie enjoyed it more than me was because they were capable of making sense of about 1/8 of it which is more than i could say for myself. you may think this is because of my intelligence or comprehension, some of that maybe true but most was in part of a way too complicated storyline. this movie could have been the second movie of a trilogy, seeing as how the producers and writers and everyone else invloved thought it wouldn't be necessary to explain why anything in the movie was happening.

I had been looking forward to the release of this movie all summer long, and it was a great movie! I anxiously await the release of this DVD.

The movie, as most of you probably know, is about a war that has been going on between werewolves and vampires. And it is THIS that is the primary focus of the plot (as opposed to the vampire and werewolf lore itself). The werewolves have been researching their bloodlines and discovered a human who shares a common ancestor with both the werewolves and the vampires. The werewolves seek out this human, and this is noted by Selene (Kate Beckinsale), who decides to make it her mission to discover the importance of this particular human.

Unfortunately, the writers decided not to delve too deeply into vampire and werewolf lore. I was pretty disappointed by the fact that the supernatural abilities of these supernatural beings were not really emphasized. Instead, the writers chose to merely stick guns in the hands of the vampires and werewolves. In addition, the mythology was slightly different from what I've read and seen before in previous vampire and werewolf books and movies. I don't necessarily have a problem with that, but if you are going to change things from what people are used to, then it should be explained in slightly more detail.

This aside, the movie was still pretty incredible. The plot was exceptional, which is not necessarily always the case with most action movies, and the action kept me entertained throughout the movie's entirety. The effects were great, and the creepy lighting added to the atmosphere of the film. The make-up and costumes were also outstanding, as was the acting. I anxiously await the sequel (and based on how the movie ended, there WILL be a sequel)!

The extras on this DVD look awesome! I am really interested in checking out the stunts, make-up, and effects featurettes. I am also intrigued to listen to the writer's commentary. Over all, I highly recommend this DVD to anyone interested in vampires, werewolves, and pretty much anything occult or gothic. I know I plan on pre-ordering this DVD!

This was a great movie! I have seen it three times and would have seen it a fourth, but the DVD will be out soon, so I'll wait for that.
You have to understand....this is an ACTION film! This is not meant to be slow and artistic. Underworld should not be compaired to "Interview with the Vampire" or "Bram Stokers Dracula." Those were DRAMAS. One of my friends said to me "I wanted more 'Interview...' and this is totally unfair. The trailer told you what this film was about. It's about a war between vampires and Lycans (warewolves). It has guns, fighting and a love story subplot. It's Romeo & Juliet with fangs -- but it's great.
Every vampire film slightly re-defines what the vampire is. Underworld has nice visual ideas and it is easy to find yourself taken in by this world. The characters take themselves seriously and the short dramatic scenes that are there are fine. In fact, I would say that I cannot fault anyones acting except for "Kraven." He was one-dimensional, but so what?
I admit this is not the well-crafted masterpiece that "Interview" was, but this is an ACTION film. You don't go see "True Lies" and expect "Shakespeare in Love", do you? When you go see "The Mummy", are you expecting the acting calibre of "A Beautiful Mind?"
Underworld was a great story. It has guns and fighting and it's about a bitter war. These are creatures at war, fighting for their survival and they don't have time to say "I never drink....wine."

and ps. Kate Beckinsale can bite me -anytime. ;-)

I bought this DVD rather blindsightedly, if thats a word. I had read a lot about Christofer Lee and Hammer in the "Vampire Book" and seen a few of their Hammer flicks on TMC, so I thought...I was surprised by the quality of the plot and the acting (not Lee though) good sets too but not particularly atmospheric. It isn't clear what period or locale this is (I don't remember the end to "To Drink the Blood...") but it is obvious that the barmaids referring to the cops as "pigs" is an anachronism because Abbie Hoffman coined it a few years before this was made.

You get a lot of stuff on this DVD, which is partly my justification for the impulse buy. You get the movie, an animate slide show and two trailers on the first disc, and Christofer Lee's Documentary and a couple of Music videos on the other. The Documentary is cool, but it seems like Lee is just showing us stuff he has in his house.

This film comes from the period when Hammer was getting "spicy," tossing a little nudity into their films to increase the sensation. I remembered the film as being much racier than it turns out to be. All-in-all, it's an entertaining Hammer Dracula entry with Christopher Lee in top form, more savage and sadistic than we've ever seen Dracula before. This is another film in which Hammer tried to inject a touch of Bram Stoker into the tale by having a hero held captive in Dracula's castle watch as the vampire scales the walls similar to the scene described in Stoker's book. The only real drawback here is that Dracula is pretty much castle-bound throughout the picture so all of the action comes to him. Not the best of the Hammer Dracula films, but still a delightful envenings viewing for the horror fan.

this was a very exciting and not to mention scary movie.chris lee or dracula was at his worst.a lot more action and suspence.the only thing that I didn't like about this movie was that it didn't begin at the part about dracula being killed......................

Okay, basically, Americans to the greatest degree out of the world's peoples have got this experiential dualism going on here.
The World as it is, which has its few fans, admittedly; and the
World As Spectacle. The World As Spectacle involves the all the output of the major media outlets. The slapdash, synthesized world of the major media pulls off its massive Act by plugging us in to the ole Jungian collective unconscious (bear with me, if you please: this is more important than watching 'Frasier' and feeling like you're a part of his quasi-intellectual milieu).
So, the media plugs us in to the collective unconscious, where Archetypes rule the day. The images of Evil Man and Good Man are constantly being massaged by the media in times of war.
For example, take the Reagan Good/ Soviet Empire Evil concept.
Yeah, I don't really want to get into all the daggone examples, but suffice it to say that if you watch enough movies, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. Jung may not have described Aggressive Hero as a possible archetype, but you're gonna find an
unrefined Aggressive Hero stamp in the god-awful media typecasting of guys like David Carradine, Charles Bronson, Sly Stallone, and who could forget Seagal and van Damme?
Mr. Dreyfuss too, in a slew of films ranging from Close Encounters to Opus to this cinematic mess, Krippendorf's Tribe, has consistently played the Wise or Intelligent Man. Krippendorf's Tribe is interesting to watch because it's folly.
You've got the media issuing from your TV set, and your eyeballs form an image of this man, Dreyfuss, just playing a professor, and it's the same role he's always played, pretty much. Folly. Familiarity paired with appeal to the collective unconscious was supposed to produce some money-making movie. Ugh. This mass of words I've just written amounts to this: one of the lamest flicks ever made. Peace.

The premise of this movie, involving a hairbrained anthropology professor, a lusty grad student, some misappropriated grant funds and a completely invented tribe of New Guineans, is clever. Unfortunately, this movie (pardon what I'm about to say) chews up a good idea and regurgitates it onto the screen. The plot and directing is completely implausible from start to finish. The depiction of native New Guinean tribes is utterly fake, silly and Hollywoodized and, frankly, treats native peoples in an offensively stupid manner. The contrived comedic situations are almost never funny. I chuckled once or twice, but most of the time stared in disbelief at the poor taste and childishness of it all. This in spite of the fact that it has two very skilled actors. Which proves a timeless truth -- actors and their agents are almost always terrible judges of both scripts and directing. Unless you suffer from the same flaw, you will not enjoy this movie.

"Krippendorf's Tribe" isn't Richard Dreyfuss's best movie to date, especially having released the stunning "Mr. Holland's Opus" two years previous. Some of his lines were overreacted. Besides this, there are good elements in the movie. Some funny scenes will catch the audience's eyes. However, the borderline between fantasy and reality needed to be recognized by the producers. Despite, faking eyecatching "Shelmikedmu" rituals to gain national recognition is clever. Such scenes lead the audience to a surprising conclusion. Lily Tomlin plays the funny role that viewers either love or hate. Some of Jenna Elfman's lines were underreacted, but when she shines, she shines bright. Notice rising star Gregory Smith, the middle child. He's performed better, but his role was still underrated.

Fans of certain actors in this movie should rent "Krippendorf's Tribe" once. Some mixed opinions about the outcome will arise, but everyone will be entertained.

"Jack Frost" made quite the impression on vulnerable movie mavens at the local video store with its holographic 3-D cover that caught the eye of lost souls hoping to rent a gem for the evening's viewing. The cover attracted so much attention that the resulting glut of video rentals of this turkey inspired a sequel that also went straight to video. Fortunately, I resisted the urge to rent this film for years until I read a few reviews about the utter terribleness of "Jack Frost" and I decided that anything worthy of such scathing comments must find its way to my DVD player. I make it a point to watch bad movies on a regular basis, not because I feel any inherent need to punish myself for some dark secret in my past, but because I always hope to stumble over a rarity: a movie so bad, so far beyond redemption in any way, shape, or form, that it is actually good. In other words, I fervently hoped that "Jack Frost" would be another "Troll 2." Alas, it wasn't meant to be. "Jack Frost" is bad in nearly every conceivable way. It's so bad that it fulfills the Platonic idea of forms, for if every tree we see around us must come from a perfect tree beyond our perceptions, then "Jack Frost" is the perfect form for every bad movie we've ever seen in our realm of existence. "Jack Frost" is to horror films what "Shark Attack 3: Megalodon" is to the shark film genre.

The opening sequence of "Jack Frost" pans over a Christmas tree with lots of lights and ornaments embossed with the names of the cast and crew of the film. A voiceover tells the background of Jack Frost, a vicious serial killer who murdered over thirty people before finally falling into the hands of the law. This introduction is cheesy and sets the tone for the disaster that soon follows: Jack Frost is on his way to the execution chamber, chained in the back of transport van heading down the highway in the middle of a severe snowstorm. An accidental collision with a truck carrying some type of gene altering acid permanently alters Jackie, turning him into (get ready for it) a huge, fake looking snowman. Oh, yeah. Of course, Jack isn't merely content with turning into a genetic nightmare; he tracks down the sheriff who caught him in order to follow through on his threat to get his jailer and his family. To carry out his horrible revenge, Jack heads to the town of Snomonton and into history as the first killer who melts, has a carrot for a nose, and a sudden sense of humor about his snowy condition. The whole town suffers the wrath of a snowy Jackie.

Killings include a decapitation by sled, icicle bullets, strangulation with Christmas tree lights and ornament shards, and an axe used in an unusual way. What's even more fun to watch than these mild murder scenes is the townspeople of Snomonton. You have the town wench played by Shannon Elizabeth of "American Pie" fame, two thick headed deputies, the guy who owns the local hardware store, an FBI guy named Manners who couldn't act if his life depended on it, and the good guy sheriff and his family. Special mention goes to the kid who plays the sheriff's son. This twerp is so annoying he had me ready to go on a rampage seconds after he appeared on the screen. He's always making weird cookies or some such thing, and even though I refuse to spoil anything for you about the end of the film, just prepare yourself for the part about antifreeze as a cooking ingredient so you won't be permanently struck dumb.

I could go on for eons about the shoddy production values, brain dead script, unfunny jokes, and pedestrian pacing in "Jack Frost." I won't, though, because to do so would require more thought than I am willing to expend on this clunker. Here's one problem that deserves special mention:

For a movie about a killer snowman, there isn't much snow lying around. Case in point: the opening scene where Jack undergoes his metamorphosis takes place in the middle of a blizzard, but when the trucks crash the snow suddenly stops and it's obvious there isn't much snow on the side of the road. The town where most of the film takes place is even worse. Many shots show trees with leaves on them, buildings with no snow on the roofs, and roads lacking ice pack. And this is supposed to be in the mountains during winter? Yeah, right. At some point in the film, a guy from the research laboratory mumbles something about Jack being able to melt and re-form at will so maybe this explains why a snowman never seems to melt. What it doesn't explain is why we never see anyone's breath during the outside shots. I think I saw one character's breath in one scene, but that was it. Noticing errors such as these will help you survive this banal experience.

I think "Jack Frost" would have been funnier if the acting was worse. With the exception of the guy who played Agent Manners, most of the actors did an admirable job with a terrible script. As it stands now, "Jack Frost" falls into the category of unwatchable pap. As I mentioned above, there is a sequel and I will probably watch that too. Why? Because it's my job to watch the worst of the worst and report my findings to the general public. If I can save one person an hour and a half of pure agony, I am willing to toss myself on the grenade of bad movies. Only those willing to expose themselves to endless pain should watch "Jack Frost."

A few weeks ago I had to spend a long boring week at my grandparents house while mother went to Orlando. When I found this movie in the horror section, I checked it's case to see what it was about. "A snowman that murders people in the most disturbing way, huh?" I thought, "THIS is excactly what I need!" Anyway, the store said it was supposed to be scary. Was it? Well, actually, when the movie got passed the part where serial killer, Jack Frost gets doused with genetic liquids and transforms into his evil snowman form, that's when the "funny" stuff starts. I gotta say, I loved this freaky movie from beggining to end! My brother, Ryan, however, he wouldn't even look at it (he's one of those types who "judges a book by it's cover"), he might even say its the worst movie he's ever seen without even watching it! But don't beleive him! THIS IS A GREAT MOVIE TO WATCH ESPECIALLY ON THE HOLIDAYS!!! BUY IT! YOU WILL "NOT" BE DISAPOINTED!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe some of these negative reviews are bashing it becasue it wasn't scary. Come on! It's a killer snowman, what did you expect. Of course it's gonna be a cheeze fest. Honestly. Anyway this movie is so bad it's good very funny, and gory. A must see if you're ineed of a good laugh.
