Silent Witness (2011)
Actually a Pretty Good Movie Except Cliché Ending - Dermot Mulroney Looks Like Hes Dying from Old Age!
This surprisingly was a pretty good movie except for the cliché ending. What shocked me about this movie is how bad Dermot Mulroy looked. I usually don't notice male actors appearances as I'm straight but this guy looked bad, really bad, like he gained 30 years of old age in a week.
As for the movie it was a pretty good legal kind of thriller that kind of had you thinking where is this going in a good way till the clichéd ending.
One thing to me made no sense: Why the guy insisted on taking the stand as even if he was innocent of murder he still as a teacher had sex with a 16 year old girl as he thought this would clear his good name in town like that wasn't important.
If you have nothing better to do this is a good way to kill 2 hours.
The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations (2009)
These People Commenting Are Nuts Sloppy Movie C- at Best
THe people who've commented on this movie either have low self esteem or a low IQ as this was one of the sloppiest movies I've ever seen in terms of construction. Teere basically is no backstory and if you didn't see Butterfly Effect 1 (I didn't see 2) this movie would make absolutely no sense to anyone with an IQ over 202 as there is no back story and even worse one of the major characters, Goldberg, makes no sense at all as we don't understand his relationship with the hero at all and how he came to his relationship with him and why he knows anything. We also don't understand how the hero actually travels in time and how he comes back, etc. Extremely sloppy and predictable bad guy. Because of the delusions of the other 2 commenter's I wasted my time renting this movie, in fact it wouldn't surprise me if the comments were made by people involved with the movie or their friends! C- at best.
Decoy (1946)
One of the Greatest Noir Movies Ever Why Isn't this Movie Famous?
I just saw this movie on DVD & it is one of the best & most outrageous film noir movies I've ever scene. Why isn't this well n=known. This movie has everything but the kitchen sink in it & I never seen any movie in this era like it. It starts off with the most creepy looking guy who looks like he's living death personified- his face looks likes the blood has been drained from it for the first 10 minutes or so who somehow is able to hitch a ride from someone totally oblivious, has a "femme fatale" somehow figure out how to bring a convict who is executed be brought back to life with the help of a doctor, the revived dead convict doing the best 5 minutes of reanimated back to life sequence ever, the femme fatale having the biggest set of breasts I've seen from any actress of this error, the femme fatale being the nastiest most evil work of art ever & the femme fatale basically stimulate an orgasm when the stolen loot is dug up, something that wasn't done in that era for a legit film. Amazing!
Thriller: The Next Scream You Hear (1974)
This is Best Thriller Ever These People Are In Left Field Looking at Right!
After reading the comments on Thriller I've come to the conclusion that people outside the USA are threatened by anything written with imagination and surprise endings which results in them giving poor reviews to anything with creativity & instead they seem to love the absolute boring mundane because I imagine that does not threaten their dull, boring, unimaginative lives in which they are threatened by independent thought. These people live lives as followers.
Anyway, this was the most awesome surprise drama I've ever seen & the writing is simply brilliant. I have never seen this plot device used in any movie or TV show before. I wish I could go into details but because they don't want you to give spoilers, I can't. Needless to say this episode is a total mindfunk & the best episode of the entire Thriller series.
Thriller: Come Out, Come Out Wherever You Are (1974)
Great Lynda George's Line at the end is Word!
Of all the episodes of this series that weren't supernatural, this is one of the best with great acting and a really great, I didn't see that coming ending.
Lynda George's acting was well as her beauty is superb. The lead policeman acting is great too, this guy is totally off his rocker.
The best thing about this episode, and I won't spoil its ending, is Lynda George's perfect incredible one word catchphrase at the end and how she says it. It ranks better then "I've Gots to Know" from Dirty Harry & an Terminator one. This episode is a keeper which I recommend making a copy of for posterity. A classic!
Thriller: A Coffin for the Bride (1974)
Are these People Nuts Worst Episode Ever Ending is Obvious
The people here who praised this episode, are obviously leading an extremely boring life. This is one of the worst episodes I have ever seen for any TV program, anyone with an IQ over 2020 can guess the ending right away. I think the people who were surprised by the ending would have thought OJ was innocent even if they saw a video of the whole crime. The beauty of English TV is the woman Stella who is supposed to be beautiful, I would call a bit dumpy and a 6 on a 10 scale. She was no raving beauty. And the guy who is the fitness fanatic, and mind you I'm not gay, looks out of shape. I think Thriller is an excellent TV series but this episode was its worst.
The Magical Life of Long Tack Sam (2003)
Great filmmaker & techniques, Film is too long though!
This is a qualified 10 out of 10 as the first hour or so of this documentary is great, the last half hour and/or the 90 minute total length started to put me too sleep. I mainly gave it a 10 because I was amazed at the techniques used in this film, fantastic animation, music, great sense of humor, editing and these are things I don't usually notice in a movie. The filmmaker must have had a huge budget to make this film. I hope some day she does a TV series as she is truly an innovator.
I thought the first hour was magical. The filmmaker is an excellent narrator & her narration was great. But after about an hour or so, I started to fall asleep, I think the film maker has the potential to be another "Orson Welles" if she learns pacing and that more is not necessarily better and figures out that an hour of stimulation beats an hour of stimulation & a half hour of boredom.
Cold Creek Manor (2003)
Worst "A" movie ever Don't see or rent
This is the worst movie ever made by an "A" cast production. This movie has the worst story/script, worst acting and worst directing of any movie ever made with an "A" cast production. Dennis Quaid sleeps through the entire movie with one expression on his face the whole time- I could have substituted a cardboard blowup of him and you wouldn't have noticed the difference. I can't believe the director had won an academy award for directing previous to this, as a junior high school kid with a videocamera could have directed a better film then this. Do not waste your time and money renting or seeing this and don't even bother to see if shown on TV. Spoiler alert: Here is the entire movie in a few sentences, its noncondencsed!, and its as pointless, dull and uninteresting as I've described. NY filmmaker's kid almost gets run over by a car in NYC which convinces the filmmaker to move his family into the country and buy a large foreclosed house. Almost immediately a weird guy enters the house and says he's the son of the former owner, his wife and kids have left him, and can he help restore the house. Dennis Quaid reluctantly says yes. The guy does a good job but one day snakes appear in the house. OOOh scary, LOL! The next moment their horse if found dead in their pool. OOOH scary. Dennis Quaid suspects its the houses's owners son who has done this and guess what it is. The house's owners son then tries to kill Dennis Quaid and family who have in the meantime discovered that the houses's owners son has killed his (not Dennis's) wife and kid. Dennis Quaid kills the houses's owners son in self defense. End of Movie. I kid you not. This is all that is. Some studio executive should be fired for this.
