SETI Movie Reviews

This is a film based on a book written by an author dedicated to boring you senseless. The film drags and has no appreciable moments and the acting is quite forgettable. This is the sort of "sophisticated" film that ends with you sitting in your car cursing the person who conned you into wasting 2 excruciatingly painful hours filled with you listening to people munch on stale popcorn.

Don't read the book and don't see the film. Actually, if you rent the film, only do so as part of some cruel hoax on the person you're planning to torture with it. Certainly don't waste your time watching this alone.

As proof of my criticism of this waste of time, how many times can you say that this film as been shown on TV? Yes, I can only remember it being on once back many years ago. So there you have it.

This movie will keep your interest throughout, both through its plot and its very good cinematography. Racism, friendship and human values are some of the strongest points that come out of this movie, which will get the viewer acquainted with some exotic scenery in India. Well transferred into the DVD, well worth seeing.

This is one of my favourite novels in high school.

It's a book on humanity stressing goodwill as a bridge in human communication. Ron's mother, Mrs Moore, instead was the supreme model of human understanding. She readily took off her shoes upon entering a mosque at night when there was scarcely any people around and when all British treaded upon practically everything that was local. It was also in her honour that the Bridge Party with the locals was arranged. She never saw the British Raj's attitude towards the locals appropriate. After her departure and at the trial of Dr Aziz, those who attended the court chanted, "Mrs Moore, Mrs Moore..." She became one of their goddesses. Years later when her younger son and daughter visited India and ran into Dr Aziz after his ordeal, they were nevertheless given special treatment...

Right inside the ring was, of course, Mr Fielding and Dr Aziz who all along showed much understanding instead of conflicts. They became friends and Dr Aziz even offered his stud to Fielding, the very one that he was in use of. It was until the hallucination of Miss Quested that Dr Aziz was taken aback. Fielding was a minority, but hat was the right start to human understanding. The Ron's boss was just in the background, no more important than the India Professor. Well, it's hard to say whether it's essentially an Indian or British novel.

The novel is so full of symbolism and imageries. There were substantial narratives every now and then and the decriptions were full of intricacies and the themes were rather estatic, broadly divided into several chopped up sections. It takes little imagination to think of what Marabar Caves have to offer in terms of drama. It's so dull and monotonous.

As such it's rather difficult to rendered this novel into a movie. David Lean showed more depth if not more resources in his treatment than Dr Zhivago. It's brilliant work if one is well versed with the novel itself and it's really rewarding. But with regret, as pointed out by some reviewers, the result may not be equally impressing. To say the least, the central theme is not dramatically attractive enough.

Move over Sex and the City, Friends, Seinfeld and Fraser. Alice's Restaurant is the original ensemble of totally dysfunctional characters. It lacks the 90's humor, though, I guess because in the 60's long hair, sexual promiscuity and smoking weed were, like, new (at least in films), and every young adult's problems could be blamed on the Vietnam War.
This film is a must-see because it is so bad--like "Plan 9 from Outer Space". Try to watch Arlo's daffy smile without sniggering. My favorite line is where a guy goes berserk, and the tender/tough Alice restrains her husband's attempt to help with the command "Don't crowd him!" Perfect advice, as the kid just needs to run outside to find some "space".
The film reaches its climax with (are you ready for this) a motorbike race. Alice's team turns out to cheer for their rider in a long scene which belongs more in an Elvis Presley romp than in this unintentionally laughable view of the "counterculture".
And I will NEVER forgive Guthrie for kicking that groupie out of bed.

I saw this film for the first time 24 years ago when I was a boy. I remembered it as a fantastic film. Now I have seen it again.

There are no head and tail in the story. It starts fine, but it never leaves the start. However, it does have a few nice shots and surely the music is really good. So, the two stars are really for the music, and the one star is for the film.

....

Alice's Restaurant is about life and loss, and the traps we allow ourselves to get caught up in. It's about addiction, youth, anarchy, death, freedom, and aimlessness. It's a celebration and a lament for all those things. If the movie was given its proper due, it might be regarded as Arthur Penn's masterwork. It is a record of a facet of the human condition in the late 1960s, and it uses songs and humour as a counterpoint to the underlying seriousness of the subject matter.

See the movie. Don't expect to 'see' the song. Movies don't work that way. People who want to see a celluloid retelling of Arlo Guthrie's famous song are not giving a great director his due, and they're denying themselves a deeply moving cinematic experience. They just don't make movies like this anymore, except that another director named Penn - Sean Penn - once came close to such a true depiction of human drama with his own Vietnam era movie 'The Indian Runner', but what the younger Penn achieves with a less subtle (although no less effective) approach, the older Penn achieves in a truly realistic and understated way.

I've been checking and checking and checking, hoping that the people at Disney would release a widescreen version of this great 80s film. However, it still has not materialized. The logic apparently is that "family" films should be released in fullscreen. However, Disney must surely realize that a large percentage of true film fans and collectors will refuse to purchase a pan and scan title. Because there has not been a new widescreen edition, I refuse to purchase this chopped release.

Nice social message wrapped up in hip clothes, cool music, adorable female lead, nerdy hero, and morality tale. But the crux of the flick is about learning to accept yourself, to stand tall for what you believe to be true, AND above all, to recognize when you have what you need. If our hero had realized he should be satisfied when our cute female lead was dating him, well... there would have been no movie. but, he would not have taken such a fall... and not learned such important personal lessons.

Another movie attacking class structure and cliques, but, hey, if it weren't the sad state of affairs, would we flock to see this stuff? No. So, if the shoe fits...

See the movie again. Worth it the second time around.

Whoever went to high school will relate to this movie....especially if you did so in the 80's! This movie was true to life back then and it's certainly still true to life now. How far would you go to popular? Well, this movie definetly shows how far some people would!! It's funny, heart warming, and of course it ends as most 80's movies did....with the guy getting the girl!!

This classic Hammer horror, based on Bram Stoker's novel "Jewel Of Seven Stars" is perhaps most famous for the deaths of director Seth Holt and the wife of Peter Cushing, the movie's original lead- which inevitably led to reports of a curse on the production. Strangely this is R18 in NZ/Australia despite being PG in the US. BLOOD FROM THE MUMMY'S TOMB is pretty gory for its time, maybe Hammer studios felt Herschell Gordon Lewis had been stealing some of their thunder so they countered this with classier, big budget bloodletting.
The plot revolves around archeologist Dr. Fuchs (Andrew Keir) who steals a ring of the Seven Stars from an Egyptian tomb. The only problem is it belonged to a Queen, and whoever wears the ring can bring death upon unsuspecting persons by gorily slashing their throats. Fuchs gives the ring to his sexy daughter Margaret (Valerie Leon) as a gift. Unfortunately, the ring causes her to have nightmares; one of which features Queen Tera's severed hand being mauled by dogs; but still crawling along by itself with the precious ring still attached! Ironically, Margaret also has a scar encircling her wrist. Coincidence? Or could she be the reincarnation of Queen Tera?
BLOOD FROM THE MUMMY'S TOMB is one of the best and obviously most notorious of Hammer's horror pictures. There's some great camera work, especially in the classic scene where an old geezer in a mental hospital is menaced by demonic forces. Valerie Leon's voluptuous breasts give two mesmirising supporting performances. She just oozes sex appeal. Followed by a feeble remake in 1980, THE AWAKENING starring Charlton Heston and Stephanie Zimbalist from TV's REMINGTON STEELE. Watch this instead. You''ll find it much more rewarding.

Throughout the years Hammer Films meant quality horror pictures.

Spanning more than a decade these tiny jewels had true gothic flair.

Made on very tight budgets and at lighting speeds they swiftly outran equivalent products from Hollywood.

Who has forgotten Christopher Lee's Dracula or Peter Cushing's Baron Frankenstein?

The glory came to Hammer when in the late fifties they produced the remakes of "The Mummy", "Frankenstein" (as "Curse of Frankenstein") and "Dracula" (as "Horror of Dracula").

In the years that followed a number of sequels of these sequels followed, starting with the Frankenstein series and followed by the Dracula series. They all were more or less good or successful but gained a horde of loyal fans and this fact alone made the fortune of Hammer Films.

The Mummy instead, a bit like the title role, limped slowly behind. The first one was a lavish remake of Boris Karloff's version. The ones which followed were decaying with the mummy.

Starting with "Curse of the Mummy's Tomb" (1964) which was more a parody than anything else, through "The Mummy's Shroud" (1967) which was a poor attempt at combining the Fantasy genre (witches and curses in fairytales) to the Horror of the Mummy, to a last, and may I say, better attempt which is the one I am reviewing now: "Blood from the Mummy's Tomb" (1972).

Strangely enough, this one was released at a time when Hammer was already on the way to its decline (see the flops with "The Satanic Rites of Count Dracula" (1973) and "The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires" (1974)).

As many other reviewers stated, this one was very loosely adapted from a Bram Stoker's short Novel. It seems to have worked, also because the Mummy is for once a woman, not a man, but can be as deadly if not more lethal than a man.

The acting is always discreet and well balanced.

The strange thing with Hammer movies is that they always included the best the British stage world had to offer. Besides the names already mentioned, you had Geoffrey Keen, Ralph Bates, Andre Morell, Martine Beswick, Thorley Walters, Joan Fontaine, Kay Walsh, Alec McCowen among others.

They all made fantastic careers afterwards or revived their images courtesy of Hammer.

If you are a Hammer Horror fan this DVD is a must. If you're new to Hammer I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the very first ones and move on from there.

In any case it's always a pleasure to watch them. Their gothic flair, being gory to a point but always with taste and never hitting you with cheap thrills but rather building a momentum to the point you can't stand the tension anymore and then swiftly changing mood to alleviate your nerve tingling, are all points in favor of the Hammer Saga of Success.

I only hope we could get back to that freshness and yes, the naivete', that was the Hammer style.

A wonderful film, celebrating a little-known story by Bram Stoker, and putting the final lid on one of Hammer's most popular series.
From the story "Jewel of The Seven Stars", comes this picture which has in fact nothing at all to do with bandages, let alone zombies runnning around making strange noises!
This time, the daughter of a famous archeologist is given a special ring that once belonged to a notorious Egyptian Queen.
Naturally the ring has special powers which lead onto many plot twists and turns that would've done Lara Croft proud.
Making the film too was a story in itself. Directed by Seth Holt, who in fact died just before completion, only after one letdown after another, not least of which was Peter Cushing dropping out less than halfway through, having to be replaced by the equally great Andrew Keir as Professor Fuchs, the archeologist.
Special effects were at a minimum in the early 70s, but instead, the movie makes fine use of three key elements, long sweeping shots in slow motion, the much underrated Valerie Leon in the dual roles of Queen Tiera and Fuch's daughter, who becomes dominated by the power of the ring, and a fine background score from Tristan Cary, full of Egyptian mystery.
All in all, a nice unexpected gem from Hammer, with an equally nice open ending.

Mighty Aphrodite is one of the strongest Woody Allen films of the last ten years. Here Allen has cast some strong performers, especially noteworthy is Mira Sorvino who steals the film with her character. What a delight she is to watch!

Woody plays Woody of course and he's in a marriage fraught with problems but completely absorbed by his own quest for his adopted child's mother. What works is Sorvino matches his intensity and almost outshines him when they are on the screen together.

An enjoyable and fun film!

MIGHTY APHRODITE is Woody Allen's wildly successful stab at Greek comedy/tragedy. He stars as Lenny Weinrib, a sportswriter married to ambitious Amanda Sloan (Helena Bonham Carter), who desperately wants her own art gallery in New York City and is willing to play the game to get it. Amanda convinces a reluctant Lenny to adopt, and they end up with a beautiful baby boy they decide to name Max. He grows up to be bright and very intelligent for his age, so Lenny becomes obsessed with finding out who Max's biological parents are. O course, he is not exactly happy when he discovers that the mother is a high-pitched actress wanna-be who is also a minor porn star and hooker (Mira Sorvino, in an Oscar-winning performance). Lenny is determined to turn her life around--but at the same time is forced to examine his own marriage, which is slowly falling apart.

Allen intersperses New York City vignettes with hysterical scenes of a Greek chorus, led by F. Murray Abraham, chiming in about Lenny's life, comparing it to Greek drama, and breaking out into song-and-dance numbers. It works exceptionally well and adds a fascinating element to the already intriguing plot.

The film is not for all tastes, but it is wonderfully written, witty, incisive, and funny. It is a charmingly light comedy full of delicious performances and cleverly executed dialogue. Woody Allen delivers a film that is fascinating on all levels and as beautifully structured as a glorious piece of art. A superb little gem!

It's a typical Woody Allen nervous character starring opposite a hilariously foul-mouthed Mira Sorvino in "Mighty Aphrodite." BTW, Tyresius was from Thebes, to clear that up from a previous reviewer (Classical Greek major here). Sorvino artfully drops some bombs that are funny just based on the shock value. After she and Woody first hook up for a jaunt about town and they return outside her apartment, she says, "I feel like I owe you a big f......" and you think "-avor" (favor) is coming next. But NO! True to her character, "uck" follows the f! Really funny line, but not a film to watch with the kids -- hence the R rating.

I have read all of the reviews on here and being a huge fan of Horror flicks I thought I would give it a shot but I was very disappointed. It was poorly acted (which is common for those films)and boring.. I just could not get into it at all and my husband actually fell asleep.. it was certainly not the worst I have seen but I wouldn't see it again!

I love all kinds of movies, from cultural landmark films to the sleaziest bits of celluloid hidden away in your creepy basement. If I can find atleast one redeeming factor about a movie, then I won't feel like I wasted my time. While Madman would probably never make the AFI top 100 list, and I did have a few problems with it, the movie does have it's moments when it pulls itself free of the banality of it's genre, only to be quickly dragged back under the murky morass by insipid acting, mediocre direction, and cliche after lame cliche.

At the opening, we find that we are at a camp for gifted (cough, cough) children, and we see a small group huddled around a campfire in the middle of the night. There's like seven counselors, and six children. What? I've been to summer camp, and the kid to counselor ratio has always been like 30 or 40 kids to each counselor so I am not sure how the current ratio here actually makes the camp any money unless the parents of the few children that are here are being ridiculously overcharged. Anyway, the group is sitting around a campfire, and we get to hear the story of Madman Marz, a local yokel who apparently went nuts and killed his family. We also find out that the house where he lived is just a stones throw from the campfire. Story goes that if you say his name above a whisper, Madman Marz will come and lop off your head, to which Ritchie, one of the older children, yells out his name in a taunting fashion....stupid kid. As they are preparing to go back to camp, Ritchie sees something and hangs back to investigate. This sets up the premise for various counselors to go one by one into the woods, looking for this dumb kid, and subsequently get killed in various ways. I won't go into who gets killed and how, but the body count goes up at a steady pace.

Some problems I had with the movie. The music is just plain awful. It does provide a little suspense here and there, but it sounds as if it was ripped off from a John Carpenter movie. And right before someone gets killed, they always played the same little bit of menacing music, basically letting you know that someone was about to get killed. Kinda kills the suspense after awhile. Also, the filmmakers tried to create suspense by showing fleeting shots of the killer stalking people, which included various shots of his hands and feet (the killer wore no shoes, deciding to run around barefoot through the woods). Considering the fact that the guy had big, obviously fake, rubber hands and feet, I wouldn't think you would want to spend too much time actually showing how fake they looked, but there you go. And the counselors were so very stupid, annoying, and vacant, even for a movie like this, that I was looking forward to these characters meeting the most grisly end possible. And the killer was like 300 pounds! How the heck does a 300 pound killer sneak up on people in the woods, which he does a number of times? There was one scene where one counselor got the children on the bus and was trying to escape, and the killer attacked the bus, trying to get on...the children didn't even seem to be phased by this. The less than competent acting really hurt this movie. I was a little surprised at the end, as far as who lived and who died, but I was also a little ticked that one character didn't bite the dust. If you watch this movie, you will know who I mean.

The quality of the picture is decent, except for a number of times I saw these lines on the print, right in the middle of screen. As far as special features, there is a trailer and a running commentary audio track featuring the makers of the movie. I listened to a little of it, and I found one point highly amusing. The makers were discussing how they wanted Vincent Price to have the role of the camp owner, and said because it was a non-union movie, that is why they couldn't get him. Yeah, right, that's why Vincent Price couldn't be in your crummy movie....I got a good laugh out of that remark. The sets and the lighting were quite good, although, I have been in the woods in the middle of the night, even when the moon was out, and I don't remember it being as light as it was in the movie, but for the sake of being able to see what's going on, I'm willing to let that slide.

If you like 80's slasher films, then you probably won't be disappointed by this movie, but don't be suprised if you find yourself rooting for the killer, as he's probably one of the least annoying characters in the movie. One last thing, the first counselor to go looking after Ritchie is named 'T.P.'. His over sized belt buckle confirms that this is his name. When he goes missing, various other characters go out looking for him, yelling 'T.P., T.P.!' Where I come from, T.P. is short for toilet paper, and to have these people walking around the woods in the middle of the night yelling out these intials seemed pretty funny. By the way, avoid watching the trailer in the special features section until after you watch the movie, as is common with a lot of movies, it tends to give too much away, trying to cram all the best bits in a couple minutes to attract potential viewers.

Let me see...Camp Fire....a bunch of Counclers...children....old scary story of a brutal murder years ago...Crazy madman then kills the counclers...YUP! your typical 80's slasher pick.

This killer is named and horribly so, Madman Marz! He is probally the weakest of the 80 slashers. So weak the guy couldn't even get a sequel when he well you see what happens at the end. In the prologe they explain that Madman Marz went crazy and killed his family. Now that is scary, but then all of a sudden he is a speechless, grunting, Santa looking guy all of a sudden? If they would have kept him more human it would have really worked.

The directer tried to use the same style of John Carpenter's Halloween. Long shots where you see the victim and then if you are looking close you could see the killer in the background just a little. Then when you look again he is not there.

If I did an Horror Film Top 100 I am sure Madman would rank in that. Maybe someone in the 60's or 70's, but I am thinking that might be to graceful.

This movie is a fun pick up and watch with a bunch of friends late at night. Not sure I would buy this film, but its definitley worth a rental for some late night fun.

There are many things Steve Martin is, but an Italian mobster is not one of them. The fact that he was even cast in this role is really insulting to my intelligence. His accent was awful, and he looks nothing like the part. Don't get me wrong, Steve Martin is a funny guy, but this just didn't work.
The idea of casting Rick Moranis as an F.B.I. agent actually is funny, but the idea is as about as far as it gets.
The script to this movie is no good, and the acting is never more than mediocre. There's just nothing enjoyable here, nothing to make ya laugh.

This is a great comedy. You won't find a second disk full of director's comments or actor's remarks, or cut scenes...but you will have a very funny movie to watch.

Steve Martin is at his best, portraying a New York mobster in the witness protection program. He has been relocated to friendly, sunny southern California--"hell" as he puts it.

He's miserable until he finds a cadre of similar transplants and gets back to his gangster ways. Along the way he charms a DA, a police woman and teaches his FBI watcher that there is more to life than a boring job.

This is one of the better Steve Martin comedies, ranking up there with _Father of the Bride_ and _Planes, Trains, and Automobiles_.

Though Steve Martin's "wise guy accent" isn't very different from his "wild and crazy guy" Czech accent, the movie is still a light-hearted romp that perfectly showcases his good-natured and goofy sense of humor. That said, what makes the movie a worthwhile buy is the work of Joan Cusack, easily the best (and most underrated) comedienne in movies today.

I like cheesy, b-rated horror flicks as much as the next guy. I watched Ed Wood's flicks, and laughed along with MST3K. But "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things" just wasn't any of those. It wasn't funny, it wasn't interesting, it wasn't unique. And did I mention that zombies were surprisingly absent for the majority of the movie? That's right, it took more than 95% of this film before the zombies even come out, and they only last about 5 to 10 minutes! But in the meantime, you have to sit through mediocre acting, and one of the most obnoxious characters in cinematic history (and his screenplays sucked too). IT'S NOT WORTH IT!

Be different, be a zombie completist that looks for only the BEST zombie Flicks created. Any yabbo in a "dead" suit can call his monster a zombie and use his camcorder to shoot a film. That's no reason to buy it. And so, like so many other zombie fans before me, I suggest the following: The Evil Dead Trilogy, the Night Of The Living Dead Trilogy, Dead Alive, Zombie and Resident Evil.

so bad its almost good. Almost. The "dead things" looked terribly fake, the dialogue (what little there was) was generally unamusing and there were no creative plot twists
I did like one thing however: the lack of theme music. It gives the viewer the most overwhelming sense of insecurity, being that foreshadowing with creepy instrumentals is a crutch for horror film watchers. In this one, the creatures just jump out at you without notice

First I want to start by asking anyone who reads reviews that can range from 5 stars to 1 star, that you please read the other reviews those people have made and you will have an idea of true horror film enthusists. Now, "Children" is moody, scary, atmospheric, and scores a must have "OWN IT" rating. Watch it alone, late at night and I promise you will never forget it. The sound of the Loons (birds) is so damn eerie. Perhaps the greatest zombie film aside from Night of the Living Dead, and not to offend my peers...Children is my all time favorite, and always will be.

The casting was great and the story of sons of mobsters trying to make a name for themselves is a interesting concept. The concept of the movie was great but the movie fell trap to a plot-driven movie instead playing their strength of the cast to a charactor-driven story. To me this movie had the potential to be a great movie but it failed to trust their material.

Starring: Vin Diesel, Dennis Hopper,Barry Pepper,Andrew Davoli, Seth Green, John Malkovich
Written and Directed by: Brian Koppelman, David Levien
Studio: Newline Cinema (2001)

This movie tries something a little different with the gangster plot. It takes a look at four young men who are sons of mobsters and how they try to fit into two worlds; the straight world of the working class, and the other; the realm of crime.
The lead character Matty, played by Barry Pepper struggles with trying to find a legitimate job and finding countless rejections due to being the son of a famous mobster, and also wanting to be accepted by his father. He just isn't fitting in anywhere and feels the need to prove himself to his father after giving up hope of ever finding a real job.
The plot takes Matty's gang (Diesel,Green,Davolito)to a small rural community in Montana in search of a bag of money that was stolen from them during a foiled job given to him by his father. This particular job was given to Matty to prove himself worthy of being a mobster. In Montana, the Brooklyn bad boys are pitted up against the rough country cowhicks. This part of the movie was most entertaining, as you see how two kinds of tough guys from totally different worlds collide.

The acting was pretty mediocre by the veteran stars, but the plot was entertaining. Overall, it was a good flick for those who go for the gangster movies.

Okay. By my title you can tell I am a Seth Green fan. I love the guy. Thought Oz was the best character ever. Then on a bad stormy day (in my mind) I learned that Seth was leaving Buffy to do a movie Knockaround guys. It was hard at first, but I got over it as long as I got to watch the movie. Well two years later the movie is released. You think. However, it was decided to held back until Vin Disl became famous. So I don't watch it at the theater because the one in my town is too small. So I stupidly decide to buy just cause Seth is in it. Big Mistake!! One I was bored, two there was maybe one scene I liked, and three Seth died in it. So if you are a Seth fan and you want to see it because of him, rent it first and if you like it then go ahead and buy it. You have been warned.

While this movie had its merits, it was overall disappointing.
What the dubbers did was combine three completely unrelated thirty-minute movies into one long, drawn-out movie with a strange sense of pacing, and a confusing plot that will make even the biggest Digi fan's head spin.
That said, I did really enjoy Chocomon and Gummimom's story, it was quite creepy. The fight scene was pretty cool, though I think that the animators don't really utilize very interesting camera angles or vary the perspective, which makes the animation seem a little boring.
Oh, and one more thing that I thought was really quite unneccesary was the "Angela Anaconda" short at the beginning- very bizarre, and most unfunny.

Before I talk about THIS movie, I should let all you Digimon fans know about a few other things about the Digimon movies: . . .
* In the original Japanese version, there are 7 Digimon Movies, the first two are involved with Season 1, with the origin of the Digi-Destined (translated into here), the Battle with Diaboromon on the Internet where WarGreymon & MetalGarurumon DNA-Digivolve into Omnimon (translated here) and the third movie, in the middle of Season 2, where T.K. & Kari, Davis, Yolei & Cody meet Willis (finally translated). All 3 movies had various scenes cut-out as there was not enough money to make a 2hr Movie - with movie 3 having the MOST cut-out scenes, having the older Digi-Destined captured. The animation, unfortunately, is not better than the TV Show, but its movement is slightly improved. The voices do okay, but not as well as the TV Show.
The other 4 movies, beginning with the 4th Movie "Diablomon/Diaboromon Strikes Back" is set after the Digi-Destiend defeat MaloMyotismon, and they are havinga battle against Diaboromon's Baby forms who converge into Armagemon. Omnimon/Omegamon and Imperialdramon Fighter Mode cannot beat him, until Omegamon's body of energy becomes Excalibur the Sword, transforming Imperialdramon into his Paladin Mode and defeating Armagemon.
Movie 5 & 6 have not been translated and are involved with "Season 3: Digimon Tamers", the 5th Movie (in the middle of the Season between eps 18 & 19) has Takato, Henry & Rika fighting Mephitsomon-Galfmon, who attempts to controil the world with V-Pets. And the 6th Movie is set after Season 3, with more of the TV Characters fighting an evil Parasite digimon controling a train Digimon who runs amuck in the Real world.
The final 7th Digimon Movie, "Revival of the Ancient Digimon" is set in the middle of "Season 4: Digimon Frontier" where the Digi-destined come across an island where human-type and beast-type digimon war against eachother and the children must stop the deception.
All the Digimon are less than an hour, running for either 3O mins or 51 mins. However the animation in movies 5-7 is better but looking closer to the show. It would've been better if they did Movies 1-2 first, then 3-4 as a sequel, followed by 5-6 for a third movie and putting 7 as a bonus feature.
BUT IT WAS REALLY GOOD ALL THE SAME!

I loved digimon from day one (summer 1999). the humor is alot better than pokemon's and most of the jokes will have adults laughing. I loved the action in this movie.
