Hall Pass (2011) Trailer
That setup supplies a wealth of opportunities for the film to explore any number of possibilities that could be both very funny and insightful. Are Rick and Fred so driven by their hormones that they would cheat on their wives, even if it's not technically cheating? Are Maggie and Grace unhappier in their marriages than they realized? Do they want their husbands to have affairs so they would have an excuse to end their marriages? Could having this valve to blow off steam actually improve their marriages? These are all interesting questions, rife with potential for conflict. Unfortunately, the Farrelly's blow their intriguing setup on an assorted bag of their greatest hits (not one, but two feces jokes, an embarrassing masturbation scene, multiple men obsessed with a beautiful blonde, and grown men acting like twelve-year-old morons).

Executive Decision (1996) Trailer
zhlédnutí 26KPřed 13 lety
Specifics don't matter because the surprises and suspense are what make the film so enthralling. Sure, you can see the end coming from a mile away and there is nothing here that you haven't seen before, but it's handled with such deft care that it left me breathless. I knew the good guys were going to win in the end, but I nonetheless couldn't wait to see it happen. www.theparallaxreview.com/on...
Unknown (2011) Trailer
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed 13 lety
Sometimes I feel as though we don't appreciate Liam Neeson enough. Moving easily between leading man roles and character work, he's able to chew the scenery when a script calls for it and just as easily dial his performance down to a subtle level approaching minimalism. Ever since his breakthrough turn in Darkman, it seems that every time I look up at the screen, there's Neeson, doing good work...
I am Number Four (2011) Trailer
zhlédnutí 27KPřed 13 lety
Needless to say, this is a ton of plot to shove into a movie that runs less than two hours. I would take the film to task for not cutting some of the more extraneous plot details, but director D.J. Caruso has his hands tied by the fact that the film is supposed to be the first in a series. When taking that into account, it's actually surprising how well I Am Number Four turned out. This could h...
Vanishing On 7th Street (2011) Trailer
zhlédnutí 1,8KPřed 13 lety
Vanishing on 7th Street has so much going for it, I vacillate between feeling bad that I can't quite recommend it and feeling enraged that it's not as good as it should be. For most of its runtime, it's a film of great style, great performances, and thoughtful explorations of well-worn character types. It punctuates intense dialogue scenes with thrilling moments of action and horror. It has one...
Article 99 (1992) Trailer
zhlédnutí 3,7KPřed 13 lety
Article 99 is a really bad movie, but it can be enjoyed under the pretense that inherent within is a truly ludicrous story with outlandish situations, zero note characters, shoddy sets, and bleeding-heart moralism sappy enough to send you into a shudder. www.theparallaxreview.com/on_cable/article_99.html
Jack (1996) 30-Second Promo
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 13 lety
Director Francis Ford Coppola realizes Jack leads a life of deep sadness and loneliness, despite having loving parents. Because of his freakish qualities, they keep him indoors most of the time. He stares longingly out the window at the normal ten-year-olds, wishing he could live that life without having the intellectual or emotional capacity to understand why he can't. Coppola's not afraid to ...
The Illusionist (2010) Trailer
zhlédnutí 1,6KPřed 13 lety
The Illusionist is the type of movie that sneaks up on you. I spent most of my time watching the film in a sort of pleasant trance. I marveled at the beautiful, hand-drawn animation. I smiled and chuckled quietly at a running gag about the titular character and his surly rabbit that hates being stuffed into a hat. I drank in the attention to character design that made it possible to tell the st...
Single White Female 2: The Psycho (2005) Trailer
zhlédnutí 77KPřed 13 lety
I admit recommending Single White Female 2: The Psycho is a tough sell. A direct-to-video sequel whose biggest name (Brooke Burns) went from Baywatch to reality game-show host doesn't seem like the sort of movie any rational person would want to watch. It has the aesthetic, soundtrack, and acting caliber of softcore porn, although without the rampant nudity. It's less a sequel than a knockoff t...
Navy Seals (1990) Trailer
zhlédnutí 7KPřed 13 lety
The premise is simple. We see both "sides" of the lives of the men on a rough-and-tumble Navy SEALs team: one side when they're on mission, the other when they're off, with a few highlighted dramatic subplots interspersed between. The various attempts at endearing us to the characters are painfully obvious, first-date awkward. It really is Top Gun all over again, without the planes, and with Ch...
The Woman in Red (1984) Trailer
zhlédnutí 23KPřed 13 lety
I would say it runs out of steam at that point but for a movie to run out of steam, it has to at least have some in the first place. The way the narrative is set up only distanced me from the comedy. Characters are hard to read and events that are critical to the central plotline are sometimes totally ambiguous. www.theparallaxreview.com/on_cable/the_woman_in_red.html
The Quick and the Dead (1995) Trailer
zhlédnutí 3,9KPřed 13 lety
There really isn't a plot, as the movie mostly just moves from one shootout to the next, but all of the confrontations are rendered intriguing because of the breathless pacing and the idiosyncratic characters. www.theparallaxreview.com/on_cable/the_quick_and_the_dead.html
Mystic River (2003) Trailer
zhlédnutí 720Před 13 lety
That's why I was so shocked when I first saw Mystic River. It struck me as a stunning misfire from a usually reliable director with a good cast overacting like they were in a high school production of Long Day's Journey Into Night. Even worse, Eastwood showcased bizarre flourishes and an over-the-top score, which he helped compose, that only further pushed the film into overbearing territory. w...
WarGames: The Dead Code (2008) Trailer
zhlédnutí 501Před 13 lety
From that point, it's pretty much a dumbed-down remake of the first film. Director Stuart Gillard tosses in numerous references to the original film (including the presence of WOPR, who must "fight" RIPLEY at a certain point) that come across more like cheap nostalgia than worthwhile homage. Maybe that's because it literally steals the best moments of the first film, unabashedly and without com...
Public Enemies (2009) Trailer
zhlédnutí 364Před 13 lety
The thing that makes Public Enemies' creative failure such a travesty is that the Midwest gangsters of the 1930s have been on Mann's mind for at least twenty years. On January 16, 1990, he submitted a revised draft of a screenplay called Public Enemy. This script draws from history, combining real historical figures with a fictitious composite for a protagonist. Among other things, this allows ...
We need Death Wish people in the Dem-run cities!!!
This is without a doubt the weirdest story,the weirdest cast mix, the weirdest lines in a movie,the weirdest idea for a movie bar none...how in the hell did these actors ever agree to make this i do not know....!???
I used to watch this film DAILY as a kid.
This looks terrible compared to the original. Went from quality movie to corny tv series quality
I know why I'm signed up ain't I
This trailer is very misleading lol
Clint Eastwood is badass
Charles Bronson punches like a little girl with cerebral palsy.
It feels like a prequel to Planet of the Apes.
Link vs Clyde. Who wins?!?
This reminds me of the movie Badlands, and a little like Lord Shiva, mixed with - if Rosemarie Kennedy had a man who loved her on this earth and could get her away from her family before anything bad happened to her from them or anyone who had access to their lives.
😂😂
Reporting here the year 2024 just found out that there’s a sequel to this movie. I don’t see any original actors in the trailer. I do agree. Also, they should’ve left it as is just off the trailer.

Crack house
Great movie
Really didn't know there was a second movie but now that i watched it i wish i never knew it was bad 5/10 they killed the suspense the story wasn't that good like the first one and the actors of the first movie are much better it worked at first they were supose to keep that way in Alaska and maybe the queen hear about the place and decide to visit or smth like that this movie is poor mading first one was 10/10 tho
I just screamed out "if you don't have feelings for me then what's yr fucking problem!". omg.

Class (1983) + The Great Escape (1964) + Die Hard (1988) + Red Dawn (1984) + Escape From Alcatraz (1980)
This looks like a low budget series. Original deserves so much better than this

PC didn’t really take off during the 90’s because popular shows like Beavis n Butthead, The Simpsons, and South Park pushed back against it. The nightmare reemerged around 2011 or so, and only got worse.
