Reviews

The Cat Creeps is a very difficult movie to review. Even harder since IMDB now requires a way to long minimum of six hundred characters in the review. So it forces us to add a lot of padding. No known copies of this movie exist anymore. But in the early 70's my mom told me about old movies she had seen as a young girl in the 30's, and the Cat Creeps was one of them. She said it was pretty good. From what she told me, I gave it a 7. At least there's some basis for a rating there. Wikipedia has a section on "lost films", and one on "partial or incomplete films". This one is listed in the incomplete section.

Birdemic is a great movie. Great to show how not to make a movie. If you want to be an editor, watch this and do the opposite. If you want to be a sound technician, watch this and do the opposite. If you want to be an actor, watch this and do the opposite. The same thing goes for the cinematography, lighting, dialogue, and esspically the special effects. Basically, to make a good movie, watch this and then do the opposite. It's very difficult to figure which aspect is the worst. It even makes Empire Of The Ants look good. It makes you appreciate the under appreciated skills of the crews of "real" movies because you don't realize what a good movie really is until you see a bad one.

The special effects are so SO bad, any 4th grader could do better.

Other noteworthy points, since there are birds attacking everywhere, it's a really good idea to walk away from the car and have a picnic, or a walk in the woods, or a walk to the open beach! I want a happy meal too. Those guns they had came out of nowhere with nearly unlimited ammunition. That's a nice thing. I have to give credit to the make up person. The cuts and scars weren't too bad.

I only watched this because one IMDB search led to another and I found this movie. I had to watch it to see how bad it was. It's all true. Some movies are so bad they're good, but this is so bad, it's still bad.

Does this review contain spoilers? The movie itself is spoiled. But for only $10,000, that's respectable.

A extremely creative show. It was constantly pushing the limits. Very funny comedy and very touching drama. Many surprises and plot twists. It was about lawyers and love. But it excelled in areas that you wouldn't expect. It's a musical with a variety of great singers and great songs, (although a little too much at times). Many funny, quirky aspects throughout. Such as John's courtroom water pouring and the oft used Barry White theme. But some stupid aspects too. Like Johns frog, and his Mexican singing. If you like special effects without aliens and super hero's, Ally McBeal has plenty of that. If you like creative sound effects, this is almost as good as the Three Stooges. If you like great editing, it's as good as it gets. On the flip side, many of the personal plots were on the interesting yet corny side. If there was a weakest part of the show, it would be most of the trials. Very unrealistic. But who cares. Most of the trials covered interesting and unusual scenarios, but they were as believable as Perry Mason. The search for love life stories that the cast constantly dealt with became somewhat redundant and predictable.

Despite some of my complaints, it was a fun show to watch. Thank you David E. Kelley.

The Podcast Murders was better than I expected. Although my expectations were not that high to begin with. I thought it was worth watching. A couple of twists here and there were nice. First off, thank you for casting two women who didn't look alike. It seems like in too many LMN movies, the lead women all have the same hair. If I have any complaints, mainly it would be that at the end, the dialog went on WAY too long. And there were a few other times when it got a little long winded too. She must have been in great shape because, after all the workouts at the gym, she never sweat and was hardly ever out of breath. But I'm being picky with that.

Otherwise, pretty good.

I find it a mystery why this is such a good movie. Everything falls in place. There is no one thing, but a series of factors that all add up. And they add up just right. When I first saw this when I was much younger, I thought what a good movie. It still is. Although, the flashback scenes of Humphrey smiling in the car are less than stellar. When this was filmed, there were no expectations. It was expected to be just another movie. Not the classic it later became. But somehow it managed to hit the winning lottery. It is not the all time best movie ever made, but I'll never get tired to watching it.

Designed for Death.

First, I was impressed with the opening title sequence. Second, although I don't like things dragged out unnecessarily, they could have had Ava's obsession build up a little slower. Some of the situations should have been clarified better. The leading man, Jim, had no intention of listening to the wife trying to explain her side of anything. I have to agree with the other reviewer about the music. Although the music was creative, it was often too loud and/or misplaced. And if you're going to play music over dialogue, don't put singing! On the other hand, I did like the strategically used, creative cinematography.

Not only could the ending have been better, it was just stupid. But for a Lifetime movie, it was creative and just a bit different from the rest. I was being generous here and gave it a 6.

I haven't seen this movie in probably 40 years. I was worrried it wasn't going to be as good as I remembered. Fortunately it was. Great plot essentially since there are still conspiracy theories about the moon landing. My only real complaint was the acting. Despite a star studded cast, I thought everyone was a little stiff. Except Telly Savalas, he was certainly animated.

The special effects were great. In particular, the biplane chase. The car sequence could have been better.

I thought the ending was just right. There was so much there that there could have been a sequel. But I'm glad they didn't make one.

Fortunately everyone is very talented. Unfortunately, someone has to get kicked off. In this episode, they kicked the wrong one off. The rusty nails he made were great. The twists were fine. Other projects were still good but not as good.

Nice, different plot with a twist that surprised me. Overall, it was entertaining. My complaint was there were too many small stupid little things that dragged it down. My rating began as a 6. As the plot progressed towards the end, I was thinking 5. Then 4 or 3. Fortunately the twist occurred and so I raised it back to a more than generous 6. Great review, huh. Maybe I have writers block too.

I tried to watch it. The over acting, forced dialogue, awful jokes...I couldn't watch it to the end. No offense to the lego creators, but Ugh. Brad Pitt, come on!
