Delightful time spent with entertaining eccentrics. "Have a potato!"

If you can get past Charlton Heston and Marlene Dietrich (!?) as Mexicans, the film's a gem. Outstanding performances and Welles at his best since Kane.

Not Welles's best, but worth watching.

Surprisingly humorous; excellent performances; somewhat lacking in character development, but a good film nonetheless.

Most. Depressing. Movie. Ever.

Amazing performances; emotionally exhausting.

Really not sure how I feel about this one--performances were amazing and left me disliking pretty much everybody; story was a very smart commentary on love and sex at the beginning of the sexual revolution--and maybe even still.

Horrifically racist, but indicative of the era. Also has some serious camp value; check-out Myrna Loy!

Fine for a Saturday night during bar review when no thinking is required.

Great flick. Subtle, but very tense, nonetheless. Excellent example of Weimar cinema and pre-Code sexuality.

Another great performance from Christian Bale, but Steve Zahn and (especially) Jeremy Davies stole the show.

Delicious cheese! One of my favorite movies from my childhood (so my rating is boosted by the nostalgia factor), but the art direction and costumes are amazing.

Technically proficient presentation of a tedious story about a pretentious, privileged young man who has to die alone, horribly, to find the value of society.

Outstanding doc., comparable to the Pentagon Papers in its significance. Anyone who purports to have an opinion about politics--and thinks US democracy actually works--should see this film.

The inconsistency of Worthington's accent is a bit distracting, but Wilkinson, Mirren, & Csokas deliver excellent performances, and Hinds is heart-breaking as the elder "David." More than anything, though, I'm curious to see the original Israeli film, Ha Hov, upon which The Debt is based.

Far better than I expected it to be, but that's not saying much. The production values are nothing special, & the story is utter fantasy, but the dialogue its decent, & the performances are actually--well--good.

Rather a crap movie (entirely too overwrought), even if it boasts a remarkable cast.

Brilliant cinematography; taut direction; good performances--great ones, even, from the supporting players.

Totalitarian youth, Cold-War paranoia, mad scientists, and nuclear zombies: how can you go wrong?

"She went to sleep a secretary and woke-up a mad man's bride!" Equal parts Gaslight and Gothic hostage tale, My Name Is Julia Ross became the B-picture that could. Shot in slightly more than 10 days for $75,000 and featuring a remarkable cast, the film follows Foch as she struggles first to maintain her identity against the machinations of Whitty and Macready and then as she fights for her life. The story is engaging, the dialogue is intelligent, and the composition is tight: definitely worth seeing.

More aptly called Young Frankenstein's Dumber Cousin. Some worthwhile moments of absurdity, but it generally shows just how much Mel Brooks reined in Gene Wilder during Frankenstein.

How in the name of hell did they manage to make GL boring?

What an odd little movie, but I actually enjoyed it (for the most part), and I think I may have just found a very tongue-in-cheek addition to my holiday movie must list.

An outstanding film for lovers of film by a great lover of film. Scorsese succeeds in letting the audience see the origins of cinematic dream-making through the lens of hyper-contemporary cinematic technology. Kingsley is stellar, & Moretz demonstrates that she has a great future in film, should she want it. Butterfield is a bit wooden, but he is far from unwatchable. Sumptuous but somehow intimate, Hugo shows that technology when used properly can complement the story.

Visually sumptuous, but the pacing is painfully slow, and the narrative is simply boring. Berger's performance, the Bavarian locales, and Visconti's apparent identification with his subject are worth the significant investment of time, though.

Thoroughly ahistorical & an insult to the legacy of William Marshall, First Earl of Pembroke, but some good fun nonetheless.

Definitely not for everyone, but there were lots of little touches & homages for fans of the B-horror genre.

Enjoyable, but not particularly revealing.

Pleasant-enough trifle. Fine performances; decent narrative, if a bit predictable. Clear from the start where it would end, but a nice-enough trip.

Beautifully shot & smartly directed. Valli holds the center & holds the picture together, and Granger's style is perfectly suited to Italian melodrama.

Milland was too old for his role, but the film certainly has the Corman touch.

The fluffy ending is a little disappointing, but the balance of the film is an impressive meditation on the effects of World War I on the Lost Generation.

Lorre is awesomely creepy, and the staging is effectively atmospheric.

It's like a Lovecraftian version of Poltergeist meets The Evil Dead.

Two parts Napoleon Dynamite, one part Brassed Off.

The narrative is pretty dull, but the production numbers -- particularly the art direction -- are worthwhile. You can't go wrong with Gene Kelly in Marlon Brando-drag!

Sexism, racism, nuclear anxiety (think Notorious), and a not uninteresting mystery tale in a night-time telly sort-of-way.

A delight. Glad I made it to the theater for this one (in what is probably its last week in release). If you get a chance, do see it, & if you can't catch it in the theater, do look for it on DVD or download. It's definitely worth your time (ambivalence about its materialism & all!).

Great juxtaposition of cinematic horror with the real-life horror of gun-toting psychos.

One of those rare instances when a movie was remade wholesale: script, music, even scene composition. Not at all inferior to the '37 version, but not remarkably superior either. While I prefer Granger & Kerr to Coleman & Caroll, the supporting cast isn't as strong.

Hunkey-dunkey!

I don't know why this one doesn't work for me. The cast is stellar; the music is effective; the composition is good, but the whole is somehow less than the sum of its parts.

Hilarious!

Long and boring. Characters good, but too slow.

Terrible plot, dialogue, camerawork, and most of the acting. Still, I think there were some redeeming features, like the bad outfits, and the occasional flash of peen. Leave this for when you're too sick to leave the sofa.

Sanjeev Kumar at his comedic best!

I overal liked the movie however there are some points.

Didn't like the mandarin twist, the mandarin is a major villain in the comics and would have liked if he was treated like that in the movie. although Ben Kingsly did a great job, watching the trailers if feels like I'm cheated out of a good mandarin movie.

Also Pepper should have died at the end.
Some flaws like I did not understand why tony did not summon all the suits when his house was attacked by the mandarin. But I had a great time watching it so I gave it an 8.

good movie but with some flaws.

It could have been called "Gerald Butler against the rest of the world"

Horrible movie. What a waste of talent.

Haha.
Tom Cruise finally has a ugly shirt-less body.

Seen this movie on TV during my trip to London. I almost have forgotten about the movie and that it even existed. It was made when i was born, and first think that strikes me is the quality of the movie, the costumes, the lightning and the drama it can build. Nowadays tales (adventure, fantasy ..) cannot compare to this and I wish someone started to make movies again this way and not the cheap computer animations.
Ridley Scott (and his team working for him) as director of the movie made excellent job. The tale with its fantasy elements can stand competition even 25 years after its creation!
