Ozzy Osbourne: Live & Loud (1993)
Avoid This Movie At All Costs!!!!
This concert film is a total waste of money. It's not even a concert! It's just clips of about 100 Ozzy concerts mixed together to create a piece of junk. Most of the movie is seeing drunk fans and Ozzy's outfit change in every scene he's in (due to a mixture of concert footage). Technically were not seeing Ozzy actually performing the songs. It would also be cool if we got to see the band members like Zakk Wylde for more than a half second at a time. At one point in the movie we see color swirls and the drummers foot and closeup of his face flashing in the same shot. The whole movie made me sick to my stomach. I give it 2 stars because the sound and songs are excellent but if I wanted the sound I would have bought the C.D. Terrible. Rent or buy Ozzy: Live At Budokan if you want a full live Ozzy concert experience.
The Song Remains the Same (1976)
Made Me A ZepHead!!!!
Many people hate this movie and I can see why. It's long, drug drenched, and confusing. But these people are forgeting what this movie is all about, THE MUSIC. I think this concert appeals to muscians the most. A perfect example is Page's 700 minute long "Dazed And Confused" jam. Most people would tell you it was the longest half hour of their lives, but many guitarists will tell you that it was a total inspiration and some sort of "out of body expirience". I'll admitt I think Plant's crooning is a little strange and annoying. The fantasy scenes are silly and scream psychodelic drug usage but are good for a laugh. The most truely enduring part of the movie is Plant's solo in "Stairway To Heaven". I've heard many live versions of this song and nothing comes close. The solo is't complex but the notes all run together so well it gives you goosebumbs. Page is a god. This song makes up for the few (and I mean vey few) lulls of the movie. To me this concert is a gem. Zeppelin's music explores so many emotions that are clearly represented in this film. I used to hate this band but since watching this concert I've been nothing short of obsessed. BEST BAND EVER. (sorry Stones and Beatles fans it's just a humble opinion)
The Fast and the Furious (2001)
Better than i thought it was going to be, but it still sucked.
When i first rented this movie i knew it was going to be a stinker. To my surprise it actually grabbed my attention and kept me watching, but by the time it was over i realized i had been watching an obvious copy of Point Break. Of course in this movie they use cars instead of surfboards. I always thought that Keanu Reeves and Patick Swayze were a lot cooler than Paul Walker and Vin Diesel. Paul Walker wasn't a bad actor but Vin Diesel underacted his part so bad that it ruined the movie for me (man did that guy sound like an idiot). Ja Rule's scene was one of the most pathetic piece of movie i have ever seen in my life. He couldn't even see above the steering wheel he was so short (were talking Honda Civics here). The plot was okay, but since it had already been done in Point Break im not going to give this movie any points for it. If you want to see unrealistic street racing and explosions with rap music in the background this movie is for you. If you want to see a good action movie with an original plot and cool dudes i would recommend Point Break (1991).
Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
This movie would have sucked even if it had Mike in it.
A lot of people are upset that Mike isn't in this movie. Well I personally think all the Mike Myers (except for the original and H20) were dull, dreary, and ultimately boring. In this case I was happy to see that the writers came up with new material. They made a plot that was actually somewhat interesting, but unfortunately the producers didn't feel like spending more than $100 to make it into a movie. So what the viewer is left with is lame acting, lame special effects, and a lame theme song that they have to play 15 times or more just to fill in for time (without the song this is really only about a 30 minute movie). It offers very little scares, little laughs, and no fun. In the end its just another dime a dozen, cheesy 80's horror flick. The only entertaining scene in the movie is when Atkins and Nelkin are getting it on in a motel. Yeah it's that bad.
Orgy of the Dead (1965)
What the?!
This is by far the worst move ever made in the history of mankind. No surprise Ed Wood had something to do with this trash. It looks like they found the dancers(and actors for that matter)at the local topless bar for gods sake. No plot here just a bunch of topless dancing and dirty old vampires. We all get are kicks one way or another.
First Blood (1982)
I promise you ... your gonna talk to me soldier boy... I'm startin' to dislike you ... a lot!
Times have changed a lot since this movie had been released. I think this movie is a great adaptation of David Morrel's book and all around a great movie. Acting is surprisingly good and even Sly does a great job. This movie would have probably got the credit it deserves if it was released when the war had just ended and things were still hot (maybe in the early seventies). I'm sure the impact would have been much greater back than. It is ridiculed by its violence but you actually only see three or four people die in the movie (and one was an accident)! All in all I would say that First Blood is great action movie if not a great movie.
Universal Soldier (1992)
Don't waste your hard earned money!!!
Well let me say this, when Dolph Lundgren is the best actor in the movie you know your in for a treat! How on earth did this piece of crap get made anyway. These are the reasons I didnt like this movie 1. The acting stinks so bad that the kids on Barney have a better chance of winning an Oscar! 2. The plot makes no sense whatsoever! Some key parts in the movie look like they were wrote by one of my 3 year old children! 3. The dialogue makes you want to wonder if you got the version for people who have problems with comprehending words that are longer than two syllables. The finale battle of the ... the... whatever they are looks like something from Power Rangers. And whats up with this "Uni Sol" thing! It sounds like the name of an air freshener or a toilet. No folks this is not a great or good or entertaining or fun movie. Its just pure crap!
Highlander (1986)
Something is missing here...
WARNING (spoilers ahead) Do not read this if you have not seen the movie!!
Highlander Part 1 is far better than all the rest of the series combined but there is some major plot holes. The acting is so-so for the most part and it is filled with great Queen music. But the plot is all a mumbled mess. Maybe I'm being a little too harsh because I've seen far worse before. You have to wonder though, if he is indeed immortal and doesn't grow old how did he become a grown man? I have watched this movie a hundred times and I still have not got my answer. Of coarse I have come to the conclusion that once he died (for the first time) he will never grow beyond that point. Im sure any educated man could come up with this himself but why would the director leave that as a mystery? And what is this big prize deal (looks as though it wasnt all that it was cracked up to be)! I think the director should have decided what the prize was going to be before he started to make the movie.
Per qualche dollaro in più (1965)
"This train 'll stop at Tocumcari
I saw this movie along time ago when I was just a little kid and I thought it was boring compared to The Good the Bad and the Ugly. But I decided to watch it again a few weeks ago and I dont know what I was thinking. The movie is a masterpiece ( as gritty as it may seem ). The movie far outshines most of American westerns. Lee Van Cleef is great as veteran bounty killer and the same goes to Clint Eastwood. Gian Volante puts up a good performance as the evil Indio. The plot is a little slow but look at "High Noon" or any of the other old westerns. My point being is that they're all slow and this one moves fast compared to the rest. An all time great western!!
Dirty Harry (1971)
The greatest of all time!!
I think this is one of the true classics of this century. It shows the relationship between two killers, only one is a rough em up cop and the other is a serial killer.But as time progresses you'll realize that they have a lot in common. The movie, as simple as it may seem, is very psychological. Some people hated this movie because of its violence but it only shows 5 (estimate) people killed, which is one of Clint's lowest totals. Lalo Schifrin's score is cool and jazzy. The same goes for Eastwood and his usual smart remarks. The director makes good use of the scenery in San Francisco. I think this film should go down as one of the true greats.
City Heat (1984)
BORING!
At first I was very excited to watch this movie because Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds (two of my favorite personalities but not actors) would make a good team and the theatrical trailer looked funny. But this movie turned out to be boring and uneventful. Sure Burt and Clint make a good team but they seem to be together only about three minutes of the entire show. I couldn't keep my eyes open through the whole movie (which rarely happens).
American Pie (1999)
Not enjoyable at all!!!!
Every once and awhile a movie comes along that everybody loves except me. Everybody is saying that American pie is a little crude but still good. Who are they kidding, the movie is a piece of crap. Even Leonard Maltin gave this movie three stars, which was more than he gave Forrest Gump!
The movie has absolutely no plot. It makes me (a teenager) think to my self what is the world coming to when everybody thinks its funny to see sicko teenagers play with themselves!
Cobra (1986)
Not Oscar quality but still enjoyable!
Well Stallone is at it again! But this time he plays a rough em up cop that has more hair gel than Elvis. Really this movie isn't all that bad once you look past the poor acting, the less than original plot, ect.
The movie is filled with great action scenes and pretty good stunts but it seems to me that it is just a bad 80s remake of "Dirty Harry".
Hannibal (2001)
Like every typical suspense/thriller, good until the last 10 minutes!
At first the movie starts out smart, stylish, and entertaining. But as the movie goes on it turns into something totally different, a waste of time and good talent. Maybe Im being a bit too cruel. The acting was superb and Moore does a good job playing Clarice Sterling, but all in all the plot goes absolutly nowhere and the last ten minutes made me want to leave the theater. The movie came so close to working that it still frustrates me. The disappointing conclusion is the only flaw in the movie but we all know that the ending makes or breaks a film. This one breaks. Another good movie that goes bad. Director Scott (like in all of his films) creates a cool atmosphere and the scenes in Florence are beautiful. See if you can spot Gary Oldman playing Mason Verger. Yes, thats the same guy who played Dracula and Sid Vicious.
