Underground (1995)
2/10
Not very entertaining
20 November 1999
I can't understand why anyone like this movie, it's sick, confusing and boring at the same time. I saw this on TV for about 2 month's ago and I must say that the only thing that I learned about it was the weird mentality of the people who lives in the Balkans. I just can't understand why they worship this mentality in movies. I have read most of the previous comments and I found that most of the people who liked this movie is from Eastern-Europe. The same people (not all) who protested against NATO's involvement in Kosovo & Bosnia. But it seams that this two missions finally ended most of the cruelties in this region. You should think about that ! I will also say that I mostly agree with Jochen Metzger's comment.

This movie gets 2 out of 10 from me.

Great horror
20 November 1999
A great horror-movie with a frightening atmosphere. I remember that I first saw this movie when I was 13 years old (before it was banned on video in my country) and thought it was a very scary movie. I have also seen it as an adult and I think it's still a great horror-movie. This movie was not so violent as many said, but it was pretty grotesque, and that is one of the reasons why it's so great. 10 out of 10

Cheers (1982–1993)
Just.... GREAT
18 November 1999
Great. The best part of the series were when Diane was part of the team, but Kirsty Alley is not bad. The best episode is not easy to decide, but I think perhaps the one were Carla have a thanksgiving-part in her home (the one where they throw food on each other) Not much more to say really, but to agree with the comments before me.

I also recommend M*A*S*H who has some of the same spirit as this one.

Very overrated
17 November 1999
This must be one of the most overrated movies from the 90's. I just can't understand why this movie got so many Oscars, and was so popular on cinema. The movie was made in a prof. way, but the whole thing falls a part when it's so extremely dull. This movie had been dull even if it had lasted only 90 minutes. And the facts that it's least 3 hours does not make it any better. No nerve in this one. ----------(4 out of 10 from me)

My Favourite Of All Time
17 November 1999
Simply the best. This movie have combined action, adventure, horror & comedy on a magnificent way. Everything in this movie works, the actors, plot and effects is great, and I could also feel a magic touch in this great adventure movie (something you seldom finds in other movies). Highly recommended.

The sequels was good, but not so good as this one.

Bond is dead
11 November 1999
OK, it's not that bad. Acting, plot and effects are good, but I miss the Bond I saw in the 80's. The 3 last bond-films (Tomorrow never dies, Goldeneye & License to kill) have moved to far from the books and I consider them as good action movies (except Goldeneye who was trash), but not very good Bond-films.

My favorite Bond-films are 1. For your eyes only (1981), 2. The Spy who loved me (1977), 3. Goldfinger, 4. The Living daylight (the last Bond-film), 5. Live and let die, 6. Octopussy, 7. You only live twice, 8. Thunderball. I wish they would make the Bond-movies more like this ones, but they probable won't. Tomorrow... get 5 out of 10 from me.

Trash
11 November 1999
One of the most overrated movies of the 90's. The actors are OK, but the rest of the film really stinks. It's far more depressing than scary. What's the point with a horror-movie with a huge budget and A-grade actors if that's is the most important in the movie. The point with a horror-movie is no.1 the story and the atmosphere & no.2 the actors. Why cant this great directors stick to their drama-projects as they usually do. And it's typical that this type of horror-movies get great review in the newspapers.

I rather watch a grade-z horror-movie from the 70's. I don't think many horror-fans liked this one.

Best of the Best
11 November 1999
This Bond-movie is just great. I have seen it many times (both on cinema and video). Everything seams to work here. Plot, acting, action-scenes & the humor really hit the target this time. It's funny and exciting at the same time, and I think I never have seen more fantastic action-scenes in any other movie like in this one. (Especially the ski-scene) ------ A must to see.

(9 out of 10) & (10 out of 10 as a Bond-film)

Not trash, but not far away
11 November 1999
Clearly the worst Bond-movie. Nothing seams to work here. The movie never manages to take of. It's boring from beginning to end, and the hole film seams to fall apart. Even the action-scenes is dull. One of the few positive moment in this film is when the American sheriff (from Live and let die) meets Bond in Thailand. (4 out of 10) & (1 out of 10 as a Bond-movie)

One of those great "Action-war" movies
10 November 1999
An entertaining action-war movie. I remember i bought this movie the in a video-store back in 1986-87. It was an old English video-version from the early 80's (from that time when video-stores in my country imported video-movies direct from England without giving them subtitles)

The movie have some similarity's with "The Dirty Dozen" and it's obvious that the film-makers got much inspiration from this great hit from the 60's. Acting and plot is not the greatest in history, but it's still a very exiting film. Not so much indifferent action-scenes here, like there are in many other movies of this type.

Great comedy
6 November 1999
A great comedy and one of the best of the Olsenbanden-series. Acting and plot is good, and the movie manages to give you some laughs. Opsalh, Byring and Holm gives a good performance as the Olsenbanden-gang who once again tries to steal some millions.

Recommended.

Action-thriller above average
5 November 1999
An exiting and sometimes violent action-thriller with good actors and a good story. Kwan plays a housewife who is married to a gangster (without knowing it). When her family is brutally murdered by some other gangsters, and she manages to escape, she swears revenge to those who killed her son. She seeks cover with a taxi-driver (Forster) who ends up helping her with her bloody revenge.

Good action from the 1980's (7 out of 10)

Shock Waves (1977)
9/10
Effective horror movie, ....9 out of 10
3 November 1999
Shock Waves have not a huge budget, but it's exiting as hell. This horror movie combine horror and mystery in an excellent way. It manages to produce, booth a frightening and a exiting feeling that you barely find in horror-movies today. (Today's horror-movies is more comedy than horror.) The story and the acting was clearly above average. The effects was cheap, but effective and the location for the movie was excellent.

Recommended for horror-fans (but if you like horror-movies like "Hellraiser", you probable wont like this movie)

A thrilling horror movie
2 November 1999
A cheap and unknown, but scary horror movie about some teens who travel to a cabin, deep in the forest. On their way to the cabin they get some warnings from a local drunk who scare them with ghosts and other horrible things which took place there some years ago (I wonder if the people behind "Friday the 13th" got some inspiration here). Inside the cabin and around the fire place the kids start to tell scary stories about a blood-thirsty female student and a legend of an Indian ghost. This stories is what the movie mostly is about, but in the end the teens find them selves right in the middle of a rather unfriendly storm which seems to come from nowhere.

Recommended for horrorfans which liked Friday the 13th.

Men in Black (1997)
1/10
Worst movie of the 90's
1 November 1999
A real disappointment and a waste of time. I was real stupid and bought this movie on video just to see if it was as good as some newspapers said. The real humans in this movie seems as much as aliens as the aliens do. The acting was just OK, the story never really took off, the special effects was not as good as I had expected and it never became funny. I sat waiting for something that never came in this film.

Boring, stupid and overrated. (1 out of 10)

Not a masterpiece
1 November 1999
A grim action movie with OK actors and OK story, but it's not a masterpiece. Tarrantino seams to add extreme violence and blood in all his movies just to shock the audience around the world. His characters are to one-dimensional to my taste, and I think his style will be exposed as a cheap way to thrill in the future.

"From dusk to dawn" was mush better, see that one in stead.

A bit to dull
27 October 1999
I saw this movie in 1998 (uncut), and I must say that I expected more intensity. The movie was realistic and brutal, but after all the TV-clip I saw of the film I must say that it didn't deliver the goods.

The good thing about "Henry" was the acting, and that the Hollywood influence was minimal. But I don't think I will recommend the movie on that basic.

Boring as hell
27 October 1999
I just saw the uncut softcore version, from 1974 of this "recommended" horror movie and was amazed how miserable it was. The acting was bad, the english dubbing was the worst I have seen, the gore was unrealistic, and the plot was stupid. The film was just boring from start to end.

If something should be called "Euro-trash" this must be it.

Barely for Franco-fans.

The Haunted (1991 TV Movie)
9/10
Best horror movie of the 90's
15 August 1999
I think this movie is the best horror-movie of the 90's. Usually this type of movies don't scare me any longer, but this one really did. The actors and the atmosphere was great. The movie has an effective contrast between the life of a normal family and their rather unfriendly encounter with demons.

Recommended for people who like horror-movies about haunted houses.

Wedding Party (1989)
8/10
Great
9 August 1999
A great crazy-comedy from Wam & Vennerød. They show that they can handle more than drama-films. The movie is funny from start to end, and who will forget the scene were Leif Juster tries to escape from the wedding-party to warn the police about two burglars which are planning to rob the house while the party has moved outside.

Heat (1995)
10/10
Best of the 90's
9 August 1999
This movie is probably the best movie of the 90's. Pacino and De Niro i just great. The climax, when Niro and his gang has just robbed the bank is the most intense and realistic action-scene I have ever seen in a movie. A must to see for action-fans. Also a film for people who like drama.

Great Ninja-film
9 August 1999
The best ninja-film ever made. A bit naive and weak on story, but the action scenes in this movie i one of the best ever made. Sho Kosugi & Virgil Frye has a reel talent in martial arts (but where are they now). A must for ninja-fans. I can't understand why this movie is banned in my country.

Jaws (1975)
10/10
Great horror
9 August 1999
One of the best horrorfilm ever made. I remember this was the first film I saw on video (in 1981, + Jaws 2 & Wild Geese). I was about 11 years old and thought it was the most exciting event in my life. I have seen this movie about 10 times after that and I still think it's great. A Highly recommendable film. Jaws 3 & 4 was trash.

Deep Impact (1998)
6/10
Entertaining, but not as good as Armageddon
7 August 1999
Deep Impact is an interesting & exciting movie about "The end of the world", but "Armageddon" was much better. "Impact" is exciting in the beginning -and in the end, but the mid-part was boring. Cast and crew was good. It was clear that Spielberg had some influence on this movie.

Giant turkey
7 August 1999
After wondering about what may be the worst film that I have ever seen, this one takes the price. This film is cheap, stupid, boring & it gives you no feeling that you are on an another planet (besides from the two stupid robots).
