SETI Movie Reviews

We loved the new music epsiodes w/ Joe and it was great to finally have the ones W/ Steve on dvd instead of vhs. I just wish Nick Jr would realize that more and more parents are driving long distances with their kids and using dvd's in their vehicles. This one has 4 epsiodes total but 2 are "bonus" ones hidden in special features. It will play the two Joe from the main menu only and you can't set them to repeat. We LOVE repeat and just close up the screen until our kids are ready to view them again so we don't have to pull over and fiddle w/ the menu screens. If you go to the bonus episodes, it'll only play one at a time. They really don't make good use of the potential of a dvd. This is one that will stay in the house. What a shame for such great epsiodes!

It's funny and my baby has learned a lot with it, I like all the concept of blue, and my son loves it

As anyone who rides dirt bikes will know, Crusty rules. From the insanity of the jumps to the quality crazy juice action from pubs and parties, this is class. The only reason not to get this is because you spend all your cash riding. Mountain bikers love it too!!! Only 4 stars as it is not as dope as Crusty 2,3,4,5 or 6.

This video set the standard for all moto-x videos to follow! By far one of the best extreme sports videos ever made. Jeremy Mcgrath is spectacular as always! Well worth your money and your time!

A good first entry into the series. Funny, but not genuinely funny throughout. Worth a look to see how Austin Powers gets his start.

This is the first movie in The Austin Powers series and I think it is absolutely hilarious. Mike Myers is a riot as swinging 60's British spy Austin Powers brought out from a cryogenic chamber in 1997 where he has been since about 1967 or 1968. He has been thawed out because he has to foil the sinister plans of his extremely eccentric archenemy Dr. Evil also played by Mike Myers. There is an excellent cast in this movie, not just Mike Myers but also Seth Green as Dr. Evil's son Scott, Michael York as Basil Exposition, Elizabeth Hurley as Vanessa Kenzington, and also Robert Wagner as Number Two. There are a lot of funny jokes and gags in this movie that just may have you rolling on the floor with laughter and I highly recommend this DVD to people who love to have a good laugh and don't mind that there are a couple of raunchy jokes and gags. The DVD has some great extra features including deleted scenes!

Mike Myers strikes gold with the first installment of his Austin Powers franchise. He takes all the cheesiness of 1960s pop culture in all its psychedelic glory and puts it into British spy Austin Powers -- he has bad teeth, a cool car and is convinced he is as sexy as all get out. While chasing his nemesis Dr Evil (also played by Myers), he is cryogenically frozen (as is Dr Evil) and defrosted in the future. His new partner Vanessa (Elizabeth Hurley), is the daughter of his old partner, Mrs Kensington (Mimi Rogers.)

Vanessa is disgusted by Austin's, shall we say, randiness as they chase down the also unfrozen dr Evil. Dr Evil is united with his test tube son Scott (Seth Green), and they have a tumultuous father-son relationship, which involves going to group therapy where Scott says Dr Evil is trying to kill him, the therapist (Carrie Fishers) counsels him that it only feels that way and then Dr. Evil says "Oh no, the boy is quite astute, I AM trying to kill him."

It is just a funny wild ride, vastly enjoyable even if you didn't live in the 1960s!

A film by F. Gary Gray

I didn't think much of this movie from watching the trailer. It looked a little cheap and cheesy and I didn't expect it to be remotely worth watching. Then it started to make money and I started hearing positive word of mouth reports about the movie. It became one of those "sleeper" hits that nobody expected, least of all me. After all of the positive word on this movie, I gave it a shot. Happily, I can report that the movie is actually quite good.

The movie opens in the midst of a heist. Charlie (Mark Whalberg) is the leader of the group pulling off this heist. It is audacious (stealing quite a bit of gold bricks) and it is creative in how it is pulled off. It ends with a nice chase sequence and naturally they get away with it. I'm not giving anything away. Just when they've gotten away with it, one of the members of the group pulls a double cross. Steve (Edward Norton) had his own plan in place to take the gold for himself, and he kills one member and gets away with it. Again, I'm not spoiling the movie, I'm setting it up. This is all exposition.

The main story comes some time after this. Charlie finds out where Steve is living (in extravagant wealth), and he pulls together the old crew to rob Steve of the gold that Steve stole from the crew. They add Stella (Charlize Theron) to the crew (for reasons that I'm not quite prepared to spoil) and plan the new heist. There is some suspense and interesting gadgets, until it is time for the heist. This is when things really pick up and we get to the point of the whole movie: the chase.

The simple fact is that is movie is a lot of fun. It is very fast paced, and is like a quick reading novel. It moves fast, keeps you interested, and gives a satisfying conclusion. The acting is fine for what it is, and this is a stylish movie. This movie will never win any major awards, but it doesn't have to. It's better than most typical summer movies, and I would definitely recommend it.

The Italian Job co-stars Seth Green, Donald Sutherland, and Jason Statham.

This is a truly terrific caper movie, one that capitalizing by showcasing the emerging star power of both Donnie Wahlberg and Charlize Theron. It is also a smart and well-photographed movie that proves the old adage of depending on the use of a great story and then embellishing on it with all the bells and whistles. The plot is as believable as anything can be that posits the existence of people so smart, so devious, and so daring as to be able to do some of the things that are done here. Yet the qualms about believability quickly fade with each nosiy and exciting revving up of the action, which is well choreographed, full of pyrotechnics, and absolutely fresh and new, adding to the charm of the movie.

The cast adds immeasurably to the charm of the movie, with Donald Sutherland, Ed Norton, and several notable others lending both credence and a certain gritty feel to this tale about life on the margins, on the far side of the law. I also got the impression that given the box office success of this film; much of the crew may be back to thrill us again in an inevitable sequel. I am up for it. After all, given the aplomb and cool they displayed in driving a trio of Metros through the streets, sewers, and tunnels of Los Angeles at rush hour, and added into this mix was a certain level of style and intelligence often missing in such caper flicks, it would be fun to consider a series of such films. Compared to other recent offerings at the theater, which have by an dlarge been disappointing affairs indeed, it would be a relief to consider more caper flicks like this. Enjoy!

This was a great film! The plot is terrific and the performances are top notch! Inventive solutions and I LOVE that Charlize is the wild driver in this picture! Everyone does a great job; characters are interesting, not too closed as is so often the case in this genre of film. Nicely done.

Have you ever been forced to watch a movie with a friend?? You fight hard in the middle of the video store hoping they will decide to chose something else to rent? But they don't!!! I have to say I am glad I was forced to watch this movie with my roommate one night. I kept thinking to myself, an updated Cannonball Run...etc (Yuck)... HOWEVER... It is way better than that!! After the race starts in this movie, so do the laughs, I swear this movie has some of the funniest moments I have seen in a long, long time. Do yourself a favor and purchase this movie if you are desiring a few good laughs. Almost every scene in this movie is a laugh riot (The Klaus Barbi Museum, the Helicopter sequence, the closing of the airport, the Lucy bus, The Squirrel lady, etc..etc..) The Race itself is not important nor the outcome, Just rememeber the motto... "It is not about who wins or Looses, It's how you played the game" And man... these guys are plain crazy!!!!

The antics and slapstick comedy was absolutely, side-splittingly, frickin' hilarious! I had trouble breathing, afterwards, because I laughed so hard. All the greats like Lovits and Gleese and Atkinson made this film one of the greatest comedies I've ever seen.

i loved this movie frome start to finish. i've seen it at least 10 times and it never gets old.

Since Stephen King's novels are extremely long, the mini series format is perfect for them. Even though SOME things have to be cut out (the author was never stingy with words or overly long descriptions), but this allows the script writer and director to leave enough stuff in to allow them to follow the original story without having to make big changes in the plot line to cover up for things that had been cut out.

This movie has stayed prettu much loyal to the original story - I'm taking 1 star off for the fact that the order in the book has been changed (in the movie, we first see the kids' story, then the adults', while in the book both are told stage by stage - for every stage the adults go through, we see the kids' equivalent). The cast (which included the amazing John Ritter, which passed away not that long ago) was great too.

A mastier peice
Thisw movie is the most entertaning high paced, ancipating ,
heart throbbing movie ever! Stephen king went right with the book and the movie is just as great . If you wach it once
you'll wind keching yourself waching "IT" over and over again.

Stephen King's mini-series "It" is truly the only movie that still scares the living daylights out of me with the chilling performance of Tim Curry as Pennywise the clown. I remember first watching this when I was a sophomore in high school and getting scared senselessly with the demented imagination of Stephen King. The mini-series (as condensed) as it had to be, pretty much stays faithful to the book. This is one of the few cases where I find myself enjoying the movie more than the book. After I saw "It", I never saw clowns in the same light again. In fact, I now have a slight aversion to clowns, even Ronald McDonald with that bright orange-reddish hair. All I can see is Pennywise growling "they all float down here". Obviously the standout performance in the movie has to go to Tim Curry with his spinetingling performance as the clown from hell Pennywise who really is this spider-like beast who feeds on children every 20-25 years. Annette O'Toole, the late and great John Ritter, Richard Thomas, Olivia Hussey (anyone who has seen "Romeo & Juliet" from the '50s/'60s will recognize an all grown up Olivia Hussey), Tim Reid, Harry Anderson, Jonathan Brandis, Seth Green, and the rest of the cast all give excellent performances in the movie. Some of my favorite moments in the film was when Pennywise was terrorizing the characters as children as well as adults. I loved it when Pennywise shows up in a black and white photo album. And then there was the time, the picture of Billy's deceased little brother started to ooze blood. I still can't believe that "It" is the result of dreams/nightmares Stephen King had over a period of nine years. Simply incredible. No matter how many times I watch this two part mini series, I still get creeped out by Pennywise. Thanks to Tim Curry and Stephen King, I will never see clowns in the same light again. Truly a disturbing movie.

"Idle Hands" is the movie that takes the proud step of providing plenty of anerisms for the audience. This movie rips off so many other horror movies ("An American Werewolf in London," for one) that its impossible to watch with out rolling your eyes at least once. The death scenes are so predictable its almost a pain to watch them come, and when you do watch them they're so horribly choreographed you almost wish a hand would come out of no where and kill you too.

When I die, and the stairway to Heaven seems like a long way, I will gladly go that extra mile if it meant getting away from this thing.

dont care what anybody says about this movie, I liked it and enjoyed it. it mixes comedy and gross out death that is awesome. Devon Sawa(Final Destination, Little Giants) finds out that his parents( one of them played by Fred Willard) are dead and that a psycho killer is on the loose, which points to Sawa after he kills his two best friends Seth Green(Rat Race, Party Monster) and Elden Henson("O", She's All That). then they come back to life as zombies and help Sawa with his problem, so then Sawa kills some cops and then cuts off his hand (like in Evil Dead 2) and then his hand ecapes and starts killing people. Sawa trys to save Jessica Alba(Honey, Dark Angel) and Vivica A. Fox(Kill Bill Vol.1, Batman and Robin) is the woman who knows about the possession of his hand because it spreads. also in the cast is Jack Noseworthy(Event Horizon, Alive) who falls in love with Fox. good romp with some funny moments. the band The Offspring appears at the Halloween dance and the lead singer gets the top of his head ripped off

This movie is so cool!
The acting is so good and it's funny to!
For All your Rob Zombie Fans he is in this movie to I recommend it to everyone

For people who have not yet seen The spy who shagged me, this is the best Austin Powers movie. It's just too hilarious, you'd probably laugh out loud at least one hundred times and the more you watch the better it becomes.

I own this Austin Powers, The Spy Who Shagged Me DVD and I think the movie is just as hilarious as the first movie Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery and Mike Myers was absolutely hilarious as Austin Powers and Dr. Evil and though I thought Elizabeth Hurley was great in the first movie and her cameo in this movie as Vanessa Kenzington I though Heather Graham was also great as Felicity Shagwell and Seth Green was once again very good as Dr. Evil's son Scott and I also liked Michael York as Basil Exposition, Verne Troyer as Mini Me, Robert Wagner as Number Two and Rob Lowe as Young Number Two. This is the type of movie that just may have you doubled over from laughing so hard and I very highly recommend this DVD to anyone who loves a good laugh and is not put off by bathroom type humor!

This second Austin Powers movie is the best. Consistently funny and well-paced--you will get some genuine belly laughs while watching this!
