Komi Movie Reviews

This is one of the best classic comedy movies. If you are a fan of Gina Lollobrigida, chances are you won't be disappointed and will get to see her beauty and superb acting in this film. If you are a fan of Rock Hudson, then you will be delighted to see his humorous act in this movie. Nothing can be added to make this movie better than what it is now.

Come September is one of those very light, romantic, and comedy movies ever made. You can see this movie whenever you want a break from all the movies we get to see these days. If you will buy this DVD, I can assure you that you will see it many times and won't let dust settle on it like it happens to many of the DVDs on our shelves. Worth spending each and every penny on purchasing this title.. GO FOR IT!

You will love it.

One of those great classic comedies, never gets old, still funny and very refreshingly entertaining after all these years..

A wealthy tycoon,with many abodes, only visits his place (and part-time girlfriend) on the Italian Riveria once each year, in September. This year he arrives early to discover that his caretaker/major domo has been operating his villa as a hotel the other eleven months. And, his girlfriend (Gina Lollobrigida) is about to be married to someone else. To add to the distress, the current guests in the hotel include a group of nuns who are chaperoning three young females. Now, add three college boys in a Jeep with romance on their minds and you have the makings of a great comedy. Some vocals by the late Bobby Darin and a look at a young Joel Grey of Broadway fame. All around a great comedy.

Sex, violence and bikers on an action-filled ride in this raw, angry film produced and co-written by Jonathan Demme. The two stars Scott Glenn and Gary Busey, in early roles, play their parts as nasty bikers with total realism and gritty determination.

Ok, I have never written a review for a movie but I am a military history buff that enjoys reading about the lesser known war topics. I stumbled across this movie a few weeks ago on Amazon and read some reviews that were critical of the production quality on DVD but I must say that this version by Kino has outstanding production quality and it's on 1 DVD so I assume that this is a new DVD production. The movie was extremely griping and thoughtful and basically follows the life of a young Russian teen boy through some very difficult trials behind German lines in Russia. You follow his life through joining the partisans but the movie is primarily an individual self-discovery of the horrors of war for this teen boy since he quickly becomes separated from the partisan group. If you want a movie like "A Bridge to Far", do not buy this one; however, if you want a slice of life, emotionally intense, movie then this one is for you. Being an American, I think if you could imagine that Kansas had been overrun by the Nazi-like terror and you were a young teen boy living through it, this movie could be your life adventures. Finally, after reading the reviews I was afraid that this movie would be a blood and gore movie but in my opinion there is little blood and gore but it is very emotionally intense.

Buy this now if you are a fan! The footage ranges from excellent broadcast quality to hand-held grainy video but what is captured is pure Westerberg in all his ragged glory. The sound quality is ok depending on the original source of the footage. Most of the songs are live in their entirety but some of the songs are cut short by edits especially "Alex Chilton" and "Never Mind". Also in-store performances at Tower, Amoeba and Virgin are shown. There is a lot of backstage footage of Paul getting ready and several interviews with Paul talking about Bob Stinson and record company hassles. It's cool to see his pre-performance demeanor. Also there are some performances of Paul in his studio and several "videos" of new songs. All in all a great dvd for Replacements/Westerberg fans and those just discovering them/him.

As a big fan of Celine, of course this is a "must have" for my collection. But I'd say Sony should have included more on this DVD, such as music videos of songs other than just "A New Day Has Come."
Also, the remix version of "A New Day Has Come" plays when viewing the photo gallery, but the slide show ends before the song goes to the end, which is a pitty! For the benefit of all Celine lovers, Sony really should think more for the consumers and add more onto this DVD.

'A New Day Has Come' marks Celine Dion's comeback after 2 years of abscense from the music scene. This EP/DVD Single features the title song, a beautiful clip with a wonderful theme. (5.1 surround sound) If you have a good surround system, you will sure enjoy this one. Also includes extra features: The Making of the Video, The Making of the Album & other stuff.
Recommended.

This dvd single is a must for every celine dion fans... It contains unpublished footage, as photo shootings, studio recordings, and interview, and lots of stuff!
It great!

A beautiful picture of li'l Aaron with an american flag backdrop covers this video and his album as well. This tape has all the videos hes done with for the songs on his album, it even shows how he cuts loose with his dirt bike! COOL!!!!!

Good video! Shows music videos (Iko Iko, Aarons Party, I want candy,Clapping song and Bounce) plus the makings of them and some short interviews, photo shoots 'n more! Great video!

Aarons` video is the best of the best.Along with his Live In Concert Video,this video will make ya cry!It consists of his first five music videos off his hit CD,Aaron`s Party(Come Get It).Parents:It is a clean video,but you may only feel a little uncomfortable with it because of the old-school(but dirty-word free)raps.You will be twice as satisfied with the DVD edition.
You`ll never want to get off the couch with Aaron`s awesome VHS and DVD!

The Harder They Come is the longest running cult classic in film history. Criterion did good to restore this old classic to Hi definition glory. It looks almost as good as when I first saw it many years ago- and i'll say that's pretty good. This is a movie about struggle, triumph and dreams. It so well illustrates the daily struggle of ghetto youth and the trials that they face each day. And it also shows the music industry and how young musicians are exploited on a daily basis.

Previous reviewers did well to explain the movie in depth so I wont delve much into the plot. I'll just like to reaffirm that this movie is a good watch. If you ever wanted to see what true poverty is like and what it really is like living in a third world country like Jamaica, I suggest that you see The Harder They Come. Then if you like the Harder they Come see movies like DanceHall Queen and Third World Cop (though those movies don't compare in the least).

The soundtrack is indeed infectious by the way. Even if you aren't a reggae fan. I've seen people turn reggae fans just by watching this movie. The seemless intermingling of music and film is done perfectly in this movie. The soundtrack is one of it's highest points and it does well to amplify the emotion and hardship our protagonist (Ivan)endures. Criterion always releases good movies and this is definately one of them. I give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

1973's The Harder They Come is something of the Jamaican version of Bonnie & Clyde or Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, but with a singular lead character instead of duo. Reggae legend Jimmy Cliff stars as Ivan Martin, who at the start of the film arrives in Kingston from the country with dreams of stardom as a singer. After struggling to find work, he is taken in by a preacher (Basil Keane) and falls in love with the preacher's ward, Elsa (Janet Barkley). After using the church to practice his song, the preacher kicks both Ivan and Elsa out of the house. Ivan eventually gets a chance to record his song, the movie's title track, but the producer, Hilton, does not offer him riches, only $20.00. Ivan decides not to sign the contract releasing the song to Hilton and tries to sell the record himself. What he finds out is that Hilton controls not only the recording studio, but the radio stations, record stores and club DJ's as well. Ivan goes back to Hilton and accepts the $20.00. With basically no money to support Elsa and himself, he is taken in by Jose (Carl Bradshaw) who is the local ganja dealer. Jose teams Ivan up with Pedro (Ras Daniel Hartman) to push drugs. The drug trafficking is like everything else that Ivan runs across in Kingston, rife with corruption, being run by the local police. Ivan doesn't like the pay out he is getting from Jose, feeling he is doing all the work and getting none of the reward. Jose thinks Ivan has become nothing but trouble, so he tells the cops to arrest him. When Ivan is being pulled over by a cop, he shoots and kills him instead of surrendering. He gets caught in another showdown with the police, killing several more cops. Hilton decides to release Ivan's single and it becomes a smash hit, making Ivan a folk hero (much the same as Bonnie & Clyde and Butch & Sundance). Ivan enjoys his hero status and plays it to the hilt until a final showdown with the military on a beach. Director Perry Hanzell uses the Kingston landscape with its alternating tropical beauty and urban slums as a perfect juxtaposition between the paradise people believe Jamaica to be and the harsh reality of its cities. The camerawork is gritty and the acting is rough, but authentic. In fact the Jamaican accents are so thick in places, that subtitles are employed. Mr. Cliff, in his acting debut, gives a convincing and credible performance, but it is the reggae music that is the star of the film. The movie helped introduce reggae to an American audience and the songs like the title track, "You Can Get It If You Really Want It", "Johnny Too Bad" and especially the angelic "Many Rivers To Cross" (covered by artists like Cher, Joe Cocker, UB40, Harry Nilsson and most notably Linda Ronstadt) have become reggae classics.

This is just great. The story is a very traditional one, that of a country boy Ivan (played by Jimmy Cliff) who comes to the city and gradually gets wise to the ways of the world. Through his eyes we see all the sophistications of Jamaican life, the music industry, the ganja trade, the police, religious life and girls.

Ivan tries to make money in the city...

The soundtrack is populated with reggae classics from the likes of The Melodians, Desmond Dekker and Jimmy Cliff himself, and it's just as well the title song is a classic as it's played about four or five times!

This film is essential for anyone wanting to see the real Jamaica, away from the tourist spots and the dance-halls. You can almost smell the shanty towns, illustrated best by the sign saying 'please don't pass urine, people live here'. Even if you don't pay attention to the action, enjoy it for the songs.

This Movie Is Great! Both Of Them. I Like Both Of Them. I Thing The People Who Like "Sometimes They Come Back" And "Sometimes They Come Back Again" Should Try "Sometimes They Come Back For More"

This movie was extrememly fun and exciting. Although it's considered horror, to me it was just pure action and entertainment from start to finish! I love the way 3 cool greasers from the '60s come back in the '90s and are exactly the same as when they died in '63. How cool those greasers were and the way all the other kids marveled at their charisma in the classroom was cool! It was also cool how that kid Jimmy became a man and then stood up to them. Those greasers and their hotrod were so cool. This movie is an A plus! Rock on Stphen King!

Sometimes They Come Back, a thriller tim matheson plays Jimmy Norman plays a teacher from Chicago , returns to his old town after 20 years ,where his brother Wayne was murdered by a gang of hooligans in a spooky train tunnel the hooligans get killed by the train in the car and they want revenge, now 27 years later Richard Lawson, North , and Vincent all come back one by one to his classroom after the murders of innocent Hs students. and then attack his house and go after his son with the ghostly black hotrod and want to replay the whole thing over again i liked this movie i bought it .really cool movie , highly recommended and really good.

Made in the last years of the Soviet Empire, this 1985 study of the horrors of war by director Elem Klimov is a frank and brutal account of a kind difficult to find in the film libraries of Hollywood. The story is of a young boy caught up in the Nazi invasion of rural Byelorussia. Despite its provenance, the film is not at all propagandistic. While it does not touch on the shortcomings of the Soviet side, these are in fact outside its scope and what it does cover has an entirely truthful air. Western war movies often show war as a stage for heroism or tragedy, in which, however horrible the backdrop, the moral lives of the protagonists still take the foreground. This reflects not only the nature of the entretainment industry but perhaps also the character of the shorter and smaller war on the Western Front. The Eastern Front was different. Simply put, it was the most destructive war ever waged, running for four long years over an enormous area between two totalitarian regimes whose overriding goal was to totally exterminate each other. The savagery of this merciless struggle and the scope of its catastrophic casualty levels has never been fully acknowledged in Western popular culture. The young hero in this film is no a hero at all, but rather a shocked witness to the almost unimaginable degree of brutality which Nazism represented. One feels that this film shows what the Eastern Front must really have been like. Unfortunately, those most likely to see it probably already have some understanding of what it depicts while those for whom it might be an eye-opener will probably never hear of it (this film currently has 23 reviews on Amazon; Saving Private Ryan has 1,068).

The film is well-paced, the cinematography is good, with lyrical and beautiful moments away from the carnage, and the colour is excellent. The DVD does not have too much in the way of extras, although it does include an endorsement by Sean Penn - a pointed comment on the relative merits of this film against the usual Hollywood product - which may make some viewers interested in checking it out.

This movie is awesome, provided you like WWII movies, especially those that take place on the Eastern Front. You may think twice about watching it however, simply because it is BRUTAL! This movie fills a historical gap on the catastrophe that took place in Byelorussia during the Soviet invasion, and in this case focuses on the destruction of the slavs who lived in the villages, and not on the Jews who took the brunt of the killing in the early years of the war. Quite realistic in a gritty, real war display that tears your heart out to think that people were hunted down and slaughtered by this incredible killing machine known as the German Army. The Germans might actually have won or at least delayed the end if they had spent their time killing the Red Army instead of women and children (a sober thought indeed!). In short, this film and hundreds more like it are needed to tell this story in detail, to remind the world periodically that this was the worst it has ever been anywhere.

HOLLYWOOD WILL NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER WILL COME CLOSE TO THIS. THIS WILL NEVER BE MATCHED!!!
