Boyz n the Hood (1991)
Nothing but a great movie.
I love this movie. It's one of my favorites. I haven't seen it on video, I've just seen it on tv, but I love it. I love to see the kids when they are younger and how they deal with things, and then I like to see them when they are older. I especially like doughboy(Ice Cube). He puts on a real tough act and leads everything. Ricky is cool as the jock and Tre is good as the student who's actually going somewhere. I know people say this is a powerful and emotional film to watch, especially when you've had friends fall to some of these situations; the movie is mainly good for them. I also think it is good if you live in a neighborhood where absolutely nothing happens. Cars just sit outsde and nobody leaves their houses. Then this movie is good to watch. There is actually activity. I'm not saying it's good to be in danger for your live when you go to the store, but it's cool to see that people hang out together. And then I'm sure there's more here to some people, people who know these situations. But for me, it's cool to watch the different types of people react to the same neighborhood. and lead it and try to get through it. I also like the music. There is one song in particular, when the boys are going to meet the people who confront who have it against Ricky, if you know I mean, and Doughboy goes to make sure they stay the way he wants them, that music in particular I like. Overall I think this is a great movie, and you should see it if you have the time or if it is on tv.
The Godfather (1972)
Let's brig this thing up.
I have'nt actually seen all of this movie, as unfilmenjoying as it may sound. I have seen parts of it, but not all of it. I have to see it sometime. But I got one thing to say. This is number one all time on this site. Nothing's better. Why can't the best movie around get a ten. I just want somebody to get this ten stars. It's the best, there's none with as many stars as it, and it can't get the most available? Give it a ten.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)
A great just for fun high school movie
This movie is great if you just want to watch a movie and have fun watching it. It really depicts the life of high schoolers, including a rebel(Spicoli), a pizza waitress who is obssessed with what guys think of her(Hamilton), a kid trying to get a little money in his pocket(B.Hamilton), a girl who thinks she knows everything about dating(Barrett), a guy who is trying desperately to get a date(Ratner), and a kid who's cool about everything(Damone). A great high school movie.
Caddyshack (1980)
This movie is funny
Let me start by saying that I used to be fensmn16. That name started to be bad, so I got rid of it. Now to the review. This movie is funny. It's a reasonable comedy that gives something to its cast. When looked at with movies like "The Godfather" it is stupid. Incredibly stupid. Of course how many comedies would be anywhere near as high as "The Godfather". But even still. I'm trying to get across the size of the film, which is basically a movie that you might want to watch at three in the morning if you can't get to sleep. Or one about which you might say to a friend, "It's Friday night, we've seen almost everything else, so bring that one over and we'll hang out." It's not a movie you would want to make a big deal about. Chevy Chase is good, Bill Murray is funny and Rodney Dangerfield is alright , being himself by always making remarks. Even with comedies, this one ranks as funny, but as far as good go, this one is a little lower. It does not rank up with movies such as "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" or, in my opinion, "Beverly Hills Ninja." Both of those have comedy (Beverly Hills Ninja is hilarious)and some decent acting. I personally think "Fast Times at Ridgemont High has better acting than "Beverly Hills Ninja," no doubt better than "Caddyshack." But again, you can't expect great acting from a movie of this type. If you go into this movie with that expectation, you will see a good movie. If you expect good acting, Dear God you are going to be dissapointed. Don't go into this movie open minded. Go into it looking for comedy, a movie you can tell your friends about. All I have to say is, I'm not criticizing this movie, I'm just saying this is strictly for laughs. There is no real acting.
Freaks and Geeks (1999)
The best high school show
Theyve got to run more episodes of this show now that im getting in to high school. This is a true show with real characters and real plots. see this show if your in high school, you can relate to it. and it is funny as hek.
Mary Poppins (1964)
A superb family movie and a Disney masterpiece
This movie is great for all ages. The songs are great, the acting is great, and the effects are great. Even the scenery at the beginning is great. It easily deserved all the Oscars it won. The plot is outstanding. Julie Andrews displays a world-class performance in this film that will always be loved.
Halloween (1978)
Horror at its undefeatable best
When I say "undefeatable best" I am referring to the whole genre of horror movies like this. I am talking about the creepy, stay-with-you-and-scare-you-in-the-dark slasher genre. This is the type that makes you afraid of the dark, and scares all hell into you. Halloween is the best example of this, and therefore, in my opinion, the horror movie ever. Sure, "The Shining", "The Exorcist"(which was VERY scary), and other horror movies of this type and caliber take their toll, but no horror movie scares you and stays with you like "Halloween". The thing is, I only saw it on TV, so it must be even better on video. But when i saw it on TV, for the first time, I was having a sleep over with my friend. He had already gone to sleep, and we were about to go to bed, so the lights were out. Only when I was in bed did I find "Halloween" on TV. And it was scary when i flipped it on, so I didn't want to get up to turn the lights on. The scenes with Michael Myers are just creepy. I know that you're all familiar with the white stalker mask that he wore, so I know i'm not giving anything away when I say that in the dark those scenes send chills through your body. And the chills vary in size according to the scariness of the scene. if you don't get what i mean, see the movie and you will. I know I reviewed the Shining and probably a couple other horror movies. the reason this review is better and more convincing is that the movie is better. It's scarier, the music is more frightening, and the acting shows that bad things can always happen. The scary part is you never know when. Jamie Lee Curtis is excellent as Laurie Strode. She creates the eerie atmosphere, and Nancy Kyes and P.J. Soles create the "nothing is wrong" atmosphere that a good horror movie needs. The other thing that I found amazing and delighted me about this movie was that it has the scenes I worry about having in a nightmare. A wierd nightmare. That scares the hek out of me when I think about it at night. Which is what the movie does. I won't say anything more because to enjoy this movie to the caliber I'm talking about you have to have no idea. if you haven't seen this movie, and you like horror movies, for your sake and all horror movie fans, see it. If you like creepy horror movies with just the amount of violence to keep it good, you will love this movie. See it soon.
Kickboxer (1989)
It's just Bloodsport again
Bloodsport, Lionheart, Kickboxer; they're all the same thing. The only difference is that in this one, Van Damme's fighting for his brother. Actually, it's the same as Bloodsport; he fights for his friend. Bloodsport is the best out of all of them, so see this first, then see Lionheart and the see Kickboxer. This isn't that bad, it's just the same thing as the other ones. This and Lionheart are follow-ups to show how good Van Damme is at martial arts. This is the same thing as the other movies, but see it anyway.
The Shining (1980)
A very good horror movie but that is not a good adaption of the book.
This movie is one in which i would recommend that you see the movie first. The producers took so much out of the book o make it into movie that you go into the book with some background if you see the movie first. You never hear about many things in th movie, and those are big parts in th book. But for a horror movie, I would say that this is good. The music is played out very well and fits into the movie even better. The way the music plays ino the scenes is seriously awesome, making it scarier. The scary scenes are good too. I'd recommend this for a horror movie fan.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
A classic. Period.
I know that the fact that I'm writing this review is contradictory to my summary, because it says that the movie is a classic. Period. But if you've seen the movie, I'm sure you'll agree with me that that is just not enough to say about the one-and-only, unremakable, funny, just-for-fun and, like I said before, classic, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." This is a high school movie with girls and dating and referances to nudity and many curses, but just in case you're wondering, it's far from the 1982 classic "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." There are no drugs and nothing really along the lines of sex like in that movie. This is also a classic, but it deals with a totally different aspect of high school. The point of the movie, the main plot, whatever, is ditching school. It is about how the very cool, slick, popular Ferris Beuller makes a hobby (technically, not literally) out of ditching. To add to the funniness, the producers add in Ferris's best friend Cameron Fry, played by Alan Ruck. Cameron's parents run their household "like a museum. It's cold, very beautiful, and you're not allowed to touch anything."-Ferris Beuller. It's funny how slick Ferris tries to manage and convince Cameron, who is very law abident, into ditching with him. The ultimate is when Ferris insists on taking Cameron's father's Ferrari out to Chicago. Wait to see what happens there. Another funny part, probably the funniest of the funny parts and the real plot of the movie, is how Ed Rooney tries to nail Ferris for ditching, and how he fails at everything he tries to do. If you are in high school, or even in middle school, you are sure to love this movie. If you haven't seen it, make sure you do.
Ging chaat goo si 4: Gaan dan yam mo (1996)
This a very good piece of entertainment.
i don't understand how so many people could think that this is a terrible movie. Okay, maybe it shouldn't have been part of the police Story series, but I have no problem with that. I just have a problem with people trashing a movie like this . This has some good fight scenes, good slapstick humor and, surprisingly for Jackie Chan, some good drama scenes. yes, you heard me right, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WHAT YOU PEOPLE THINK!! Thank you for you time.
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997)
A great just-for-fun movie with not a great plot.
This is a very funny movie. Mike Myers is great. He's really cool as Austin AND Dr. Evil.
The plot of this movie that Austin and Vanessa are trying to stop Dr. Evil from destroying the world. But as you watch the movie, it becomes more and more evident that in this one they made the plot fit the jokes, not vice versa. They did a good job doing this, but you can still see that the movie is concentrating more on sex jokes than the plot. It makes it look like the crew wanted to get done with the plot as quickly as possible and get down to the jokes. But I(and I'm sure most other people) can deal with that, considering how funny the movie turned out. It really didn't need a plot, actually. The jokes would have made it so funny that they would have let it pass without one.
This is not the type of movie that you sit down with popcorn and soda, put your feet up and put the lights out for. It's more of a movie that you watch at a party where you'll have something good to do afterwards, or where you have nothing else to do. But anyway, this is a good movie.
To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)
A great adaption of the book, an okay movie.
If you want to see a movie for the goodness of the movie, don't see this one. It is a total adaption of the book. There are many of the same exact lines, and everything is the very same as in the book, including the characters and and setting. But, for an adaption of the story, it was very good.
Sidekicks (1992)
This is a pretty good movie, but very, very unsophisticated for
This movie is a good one for Jonathan Brandis. His acting is good, and so is the way he plays his part. This movie really brings out the way Chuck Norris deals with kids in his movies. He spends the movie as an imaginary friend to Brandis, who is finding junior high life hard. "Norris" teaches him discipline and how to deal with bullies.
This is definitely not the usual Chuck Norris movie, as you can see from the cover. In his other movies, he usually plays some kind of heavy duty hitman with lots of weapons and sometimes armor. This time he has none of that. He is just a low-key character, and even when he finally fights Joe Piscopo in the end, he acts like he is just trying to show Brandis how its done.
Martial Law (1998)
This show is really good!!
This show is a new idea that definitely worked! However, I have read a review that says that this show is "better than that lame Texas Ranger show." I say this is a total copy of "Walker, Texas Ranger." It has the same plot and everything. Plus, I think it is a little more childish than "Walker." But even still, this is a really, really good show that all martial arts and/or crime fighting fans should definitely watch.
Fei ying gai wak (1991)
Chan is the man
In this movie, Jackie Chan proves that he can do action and martial arts like no other. He deals with people well in this film, finds his way out of things, fights enemies, and performs stunts all while completing the mission. This is a must see Jackie Chan movie.
The Protector (1985)
This movie is good.
I just saw this movie on TV. Despite the fact that it is an R-rated movie on TV, I thought it was very good. For once Jackie Chan actually does his own voice, with no dubs. The fighting scenes are awesome, and there are lots of long ones. The hotel scene is awesome. The final scene is just great. Jackie Chan took on a whole army of guys. There is lots of other good action too. Don't listen to those other reviews that say that this movie has nothing or bad acting, because it is all good. If you want to see a good Jackie Chan movie, go for this one. The only bad thing is that Jackie Chan does not look in the 80's much like he does in the 90's. But if you forget that, this is a very good movie.
Hung fan kui (1995)
A good Jackie Chan movie
This definitely has to be one of Jackie Chan's best films set in the U.S. There is a little bit of everything;action, martial arts, and romance, and comedy. There are several good opportunities to see his martial arts. There are also many scenes in which he displays his humor. This is a very good Jackie Chan film.
Batman Forever (1995)
An outstanding film for kids, a good film for adults
I thought this was a brilliant movie when I watched it as a young kid. Now I'm a teenager, and it is still on my top 5, even top 3 list. It has an excellent soundtrack, good acting and superb special effects. I will definitely watch this movie again sometime and maybe even again because it is good. I HIGHLY recommend it for people who want very good songs and excellent special effects.
Bloodsport (1988)
A very good action movie
I personally think this is one of(if not the best) the greatest martial arts movies of all time. The plot is very good. The acting is excellent. Jean-Claude Van Damme displays a performance that the entire crew of this movie should be proud of. If you love martial arts movies and have not seen this one, make it the next one you see.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)

Xiao quan guai zhao (1979)
don't bother with this one if you want something American
This movie, in my opinion, was not that good. In fact, I thought it was pretty awful. In the version I saw, they dubbed Jackie Chan with an Irish guy. He had long hair that made him look bad. And the plot wasn't that good, either.If you want a good Jackie Chan movie, stay away from this.
Mary Poppins (1964)
A superb family movie and a Disney masterpiece
This movie is great for all ages. The songs are great, the acting is great, and the effects are great. Even the scenery at the beginning is great. It easily deserved all the Oscars it won. The plot is outstanding. Julie Andrews displays a world-class performance in this film that will always be loved.
