We used to have this film on video, and I had forgotten just what a brilliant movie this is.
An absolutely wonderful story fabulously played, with a few laughs, a fair amount of nasties, some really likeable characters and some who are just pure evil personified, but all believable, and a fairly emotional rollercoaster with quite a few tears.
Not posted here for some time so will post the last few I have seen
The Last Flight of Noah's Ark (1980) 5
10,000 Days (2014) 3
The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961) 6
Monster Island (2004 TV Movie) 4
Age of Ice (2014) 3
Airplane vs. Volcano (2014) 3
Earth Fall (2015 TV Movie) 4
Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! 4
For being the most silly film ever LOL so quite a few seen on Syfy this month.
Really good fantastical tale which I imagine would be even more visually stunning on big screen. The cgi was excellent although I thought the tiger looked too small in comparison to Pi.
but i was really struggling with this ..... it makes JACK RYAN and I FRANKENSTEIN oscar worthy
god, where do i start .....
utterly devoid of ONE dimensions, let alone 3 dimensions, and a great pity that one fancy camera shot at the beginning was all but forgotten!
the action was at best tepid, even the car chase was slow, but the end was kind of fun when they went underneath
as for the injokes from the original, they just came and went, but again kinda liked the "two weeks" bit
and basically the two leading ladies IDENTICAL was a gigantic mistake
also there was ZERO REACTION to anything that happened to quaid, even him pulling out his handphone lead to little more than a typical farrel face growl as if he'd been stung by a syphalitic wasp
and as in I FRANKENSTEIN, bill nighy must be wishing that a bloated big budget special effects movie script doesn't come through his door ever again
everything ..... EVERYTHING was worthless in this disaster ..... except the production design, they always pull it off, that's who i gave the solitary one point too
My Left Foot - About the true story of Chrsity Brown who was born in a working class family and had cerebal palsy who could paint and write using his foot. Very powerful central performance from Daniel Day-Lewis.
7/10
Police Academy - Slapstick 80s fun about police recruits. Though there are a few politically incorrect remarks about homosexuality and race that are annoying.

You gave Police Academy 6 and My Left Foot only 7? :o:o

I understand your outrage, I maybe should've given Police Academy a...10
But anyway, I wouldn't put too much consideration into ratings as much as what people actually say about the movies they watch. I think the central performance of My Left Foot elevates what is a fairly ordinary film. I wasn't moved by it in any way.

Burt Lancaster deceived by everybody and everything in a heist gone wrong.
Robert Siodmak really knew his directing.

couldn't wait to delete it from my skybox
I wasn't interested in this film, initially, but ended up watching it.
What a sad story.

One of the strangest films I've ever seen and also one of the funniest.
