Apocalypse Now (1979)
Apocalypse Now was so boring...
What's with these people, how can anyone say this movie was good. Brando was in it for the last 20 minutes, but he saves the movie. Although it sucks so much, 3 hours of boring s***. This team is sent to terminate a colonel who has raised a small army himself (American colonel) and all it is is 3 hours of muddy terrain and river crossings. How's Brando credited as the main actor anyway?
A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)
Marlon Brando's Oscar nomination
For anyone who likes Method acting (Marlon Brando) and wants to learn about acting should watch this movie. Although it might get boring and long at times, it's entertaining the rest of the way. It was a Broadway play before it was remade in Hollywood, and Marlon himself performed 500 plays of "Streetcar." The best actor that ever was and ever will be is Marlon Brando, as he proves it himself in this movie.
On the Waterfront (1954)
On the Waterfront
I've watched this movie once, and i've always been interested in Brando, and especially his life. I watched this movie and it's great, but too bad Brando isn't like he used to be before. He used to be something, now that he's older, (and I've read an article about him in Rolling Stone) he's much worse. Something happened to him, but it's all good.
Scary Movie 2 (2001)
Good movie for teens, but not a good movie in terms of direction and the plot.
This movie is great for teens, and I knew it wasn't gonna be great in terms of direction and plot, but I knew it would be funny. So me and my friend and brother rented the movie, although there was some controversy over if we should rent it or not. I thought Yeah, why not? But my friend thought it would be bad. When we finally rented it and watched it, we laughed many times, but the movie overall wasn't great. What I'm trying to tell the reader's is that Scary Movie 2 is a movie for teens to see, not for adults, because it is concentrating on jokes and less on the film direction and writing, which messes up the whole plot. So, I liked the movie, but wouldnt' say it was a great movie. So this movie is for teens to enjoy, but not by themselves. When watching the movie it should be in a party or with many friends, and I did watch it with my brother and my friend, that's why we enjoyed it. I'm sure my cousin would like it also. So the movie is strictly for teens, and to be watched with many people.
Vegas Vacation (1997)
One of those movies that can cheer you up, no matter what mood you're in. 8/10.
Very good movie, and I'm not surprised because I love Chevy Chase and most of his films are great. Fletch I loved and European Vacations I saw before, but can't remember much from it. This is a great movie about a vacation where each family member finds something fun to do, and all of them enjoy it until the father realizes it's separating them apart. Amazing movie. All in all, I enjoyed it and recommend this movie to cheer someone up.
Braveheart (1995)
Vital information
If any of you have read my reviews on Braveheart (1995), I stated that it was a terrific movie. I still think so, but I just wanted to get out some words of other people that commented on the movie a long time ago, but no one actually reads them anymore because they don't know how to get to the older ones. You got down to the comments index, and it's highlighted. Click on it and it will have a history of the comments on Braveheart or any other movie. Then, I read a great review of two people. Please read on. One of them stated that in Scotland, beside the William Wallace statue, there is another statue of Mel Gibson and people are leaving flowers on it because he made the movie and made Wallace famous again, I think that's their point. I disagree with that because it's not hard making a movie when you have millions of dollars. Also, the other stated that Gibson, the director, was asked by a Scotsman why he didn't film the Battle of Stirling Bridge actually on the rebuilt bridge, Gibson said that the bridge would get in the way. The Scotsman said, "That's what the English found too." Why doesn't Gibson talk about Braveheart on any of his interviews and is, in my opinion, ashamed of it? I think that's one of the points. So to any Gibson fan, who consider him a great man, if you sit down with him, by yourselves, you'd find that he's nowhere near the stature or the hero that Sir William Wallace was.
What Women Want (2000)
Jesus, Mel, can you make a worse choice?
Well, to start off with, I'll be very realistic and tell you why I hate this movie. But first of all, Gibson was born with a talent, which he hasn't used very well throughout his career. He made Gallipoli and Braveheart, the only good movies he ever made. Now, this movie is a bad movie because the storyline is dumb, although someone may say it was original, but it was still dull and boring. The acting was horrible, especially by Gibson. Mel has to make some kind of a better body language motion in the movie than just swallowing after being scared. Helen Hunt was horrible, and the only movie I like of hers is this old series, but I forgot the name. The directing is simply the worst and thank god Gibson didn't try to direct this movie. I thought Gibson was something, I admired him a couple of years ago. Now I know what kind of a man he is. What kind of a man takes this kind of movie in his filmography?
Ronin (1998)
Not an inspiring movie, if that's what you're looking for. 8/10
Great movie that I enjoyed. It's been a while since I saw it and don't remember much, but it was full of action. Don't be dissapointed if it doesn't inspire you, if that's what you're looking for. It's one of those action films, but now I don't watch those often. I rather watch serious drama films.
Finding Forrester (2000)
Surprisingly good movie, 9/10. Don't see why this didn't win an Oscar.
I watched Finding Forrester and I discovered that it was made in the year 2000. I don't understand why it didn't win the best Oscar. Sean Connery gave a fine performance and Rob Brown should've won the Best Actor Oscar. The movie was near perfect, except that the beginning started out slowly. If you haven't seen this movie, I think it was great and I think you should watch it, especially if you're a teen and trying out for the basketball team. The movie gives you the whole explanation of it.
Nikita (1990)
Filled with action, great acting and I loved the storyline. 8/10
This movie was great, but I saw it in the originial French version, so I had to read the captions in English. The movie was great in means of action, the acting was great and the storyline interesting. Me and my family watched this fillm and it was beyond our expectations. We loved how Nikita changes thoroughout the movie, although I didn't see the beginning scenes. She is captured inside a prison and is given a chance to live. She is like a terminator, although only killing the people that don't deserve to live. Much better constructed than the American movies. Rent it if you haven't seen it.
Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993)
Haven't seen most of the movie, but enough to comment on it. Very funny, but not great.
Robin Hood is a very funny movie, such as Fletch. However, Fletch actually has a good and interesting storyline. Robin Hood just makes the storyline and the characters amazingly stubborn and dumb that it is funny. I liked this movie, especially the part where Robin and John fight on the bridge and they both break their sticks to the last centimeter. Also, the black guy told them that they could skip over the river, it wasn't even a river. All in all, great comedy, but don't rent it. It's not one of those movies that inspire you towards a better life.
Fletch (1985)
The greatest comedy ever.9/10
Fletch is definetly the greatest comedy ever made. Unlike most comedies, it actually has an interesting plot to it. Chevy Chase is terrific and the rest of the cast is great. If you have'nt seen this movie and like Chevy Chase, this is one of those movies that doesn't come along often. I used to watch it over at my aunt's house whenever I didn't have anything to do and I loved it from the first time I saw it.
Amadeus (1984)
If you're some musical person, watch it, otherwise, I think it's a bad movie.
What's wrong with these people? Mozart is portrayed as a dumbass and a genius? If he was like that, I hate him and people like that, it's as if they haven't lived a single day in their lives. This movie is a bad movie because of the music, which gets on my nerves. The directing isn't great and the storyline is boring. There is no inspiration, no acting and the way Mozart dies is pathetic. The guy makes him think too much and his dumbass brain works too much? That's what he gets. Mozart is no hero, you want a heroic movie. That's Scarface and Braveheart.
The Simpsons (1989)
The Simpsons is a great show, to especially be watched with your family, or at least, your dad and brother.
Can a show get any better? True, the current season doesn't have many new episodes and they're not as good as the other ones, but all in all, it's a great show. The show is about adventures of a family, called the Simpsons and their lives. It also follows some other aspects and character, especially the Scottish groundskeeper Willie, who once fights a wolf to save Bart and at last defeats him. He then hugs the wolf and gives him some wine, saying, "I was fighting wolves while you were still in your mother's teeth."
Married with Children (1987)
This show, alongside "Friends", are the two best shows I've ever watched, and "Full House"
The greatest show ever made, alongside "Friends" and "Full House." Really, I think critics have critcized it but the men and women of the country love it. The whole cast is superb, except Mr.Darcy, who I hate. Otherwise, the rest is phenomenal, Ed O'Neill, Katey Sagal, Amanda Bearse and her first husband Steve, David Faustino and Christina Applegate.
Heartbreakers (2001)
Great comedy that never gets boring.
Heartbreakers is a great comedy to watch with your friends or your family,I like watching it better with friends. The two, mom and daughter act out perfectly and the movie is interesting. The beginning is the best part of the movie, the middle is good, but not as good as the beginning and the end is or does get boring. I never finished watching it, but I watched about 90% of the movie. Yeah, the ending was nothing compared to the beginning. I think anyone should see this movie, especially teenagers.
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (1992)
The greatest late night show ever.
I don't understand what's so bad about this show. I think it's the greatest late night show ever. And still is. They've got great actors and singers, the jokes are funny and about life in reality and Jay Leno delivers great performances. He only messed up once, when I guess he was tired. Otherwise, the greatest late night show ever. Airs on Monday-Friday at 11:30.
Memento (2000)
Just like people said, the top 250 films list is totally unreliable.
People, listen to me. I just rented this movie and was so bored that I didn't even watch it. I only watched the first 30 minutes. It was that bad. Just like one of the users said, the top 250 films list is definetly unreliable. First they got the Godfather. I agree with that. But star wars? What kind of faggots like that? The Godfather is excellent, and people voting here, who are men, need to act like men. The story is boring because it's told in backwards storytelling. How dumb is that? It confused me so much I turned it off. The beginning scene he kills the guy and the rest of the movie is about finding the guy and killing him. Plus the man shaves his legs. Men don't shave their legs, women do.
Payback (1999)
Gibson's getting worse and worse by each movie.
Definetly not worth watching. Acting is dreadfully bad and the storyline is the worst in years and the directing is all for the money. Can a man get any dumber than Gibson? He does the worst movies. There is no acting. Just trying to get more money. If you feel as if you have to see the movie, don't. I'm gonna say it only once and don't watch it.
The Fast and the Furious (2001)
A terrific movie that is very entertaining, with good acting.
I loved this movie, and so did my brother. I know people who voted for it said it's a bad movie, but even if you don't like it, it's definetly worth watching. My dad liked the movie also, as did my mom. This movie is definetly not for older adults, but for teenagers, such as me. The beginning of the movie is interesting, the middle does drop off a little, except some parts. The end I won't talk about, although it was heart pounding and I was so scared of what would happen. Definetly worth watching for teenagers.
American Beauty (1999)
Hollywood is making movies less believeable than ever.
I don't understand this movie. I watched most of it and I don't find anything that was interesting in it. They try to make it more interesting by showing naked girls, but the acting is very bad. The main character smokes marijuana and is inspired when he sees a girl to work out. Obviously, the film makers don't know anything about working out and Kevin Spacey is a dumbass.
The Terminator (1984)
Back when I was a child, I watched this movie. Me and my friends loved the whole idea of the movie.
I absolutely love this movie. Although I haven't seen it in many years, I still remember when me and my friends would go to school, tired because we had stayed up all night watching The Terminator. Then we'd talk about it and everyone loved the movie, especially the idea of the action sequences and the action itself. This movie isn't for people who like serious movies, which are more acting and drama than action. The Terminator should be seen by young people, who enjoy action.
Rocky (1976)
One of the greatest stories ever told.
Rocky is a terrific movie. I myself loved it, as do my dad and my mom. My brother also loves the movie. The movie is great, the storyline interesting, the music inspiring and encouraging plus the actors are terrific, especially Stallone and Talia Shire. The love story is fantastic and when Sylvester Stallone works out, you can really learn a lot, like drinking raw eggs for morning. All in all, one of the greatest stories ever told.
Rocky II (1979)
Sylvester Stallone and Talia Shire are the decades best actors.
Sylvester Stallone and Talia Shire give a great performance and I can't believe Rocky II isn't on the top 250 best films. The storyline is great, the music score is encouraging and inspiring and the actors are amazing, especially Rocky's trainer and Sylvester Stallone and Talia Shire. Sylvester Stallone is such a good actor. He works out, he's well built and a great actor. Definetly watch this movie. I've never seen Rocky, but I would love to see it.
The Godfather Part II (1974)
Not a sequel, another terrific movie.
When you compare The Godfather to The Godfather, Part II, the only difference between the two films is the cast. There is no James Caan and Marlon Brando. Now, that doesn't make the movie worse, as most people would think. The storyline is interesting, yet very sad, although this movie is excellent, it is very sad. The Godfather, however, is inspiring due to Marlon Brando's beautiful and incouraging acting. Therefore, Al Pacino has to act twice as hard, and he's a great actor. He does a fantastic job. Every scene he acts he acts with passion and courage. Vito Corleone's childhood is also great, although the adaptation in the 1970's of The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, was called, The Godfather, A Novel of a movie, (I think). I watched that and it was the two Godfather's combined together. Vito Corleone's childhood from Part II is combined at the beginning of the movie. Amazing and terrific. Definetly worth watching.
