Attention Shoppers (2000)

funny little film

[8/10 · 12 November 2000]

This film is OK. There's some funny moments, and cameos. You Really don't Need to see it, but it's not waste of time, I think. So at least give it a change, if you see it's coming from TV.

Un animale chiamato uomo (1972)

don't waste your time with this.

[1 November 2000]

This is not a good film. It's like one of those Hill&Spencer Trinity-clones. There's two main characters, both are stupid. Other one gets shot twice in the ass during the movie(!), really that's the only thing I remember. Not recommended.

Dead Funny (1994)

good one

[11 September 2000]

This was a surprise. Sharp written, some black humour, pretty good thriller alltogether, kinda thing you just have to look all the way end. Actress Elizabeth Peña is really good, she steal every scene she's in. So is McCarthy, great chemistry between them. Well, basicly this is one of those "We had a party last night, now we got a dead body, who killed him, should we call police?" -kind of a thing. I saw it from TV and it was presented widescreen, which was nice.

Wanted (1967)

too long, pretty lousy..

[23 July 2000]

Director Giorgio Ferroni did this one at same year as Fort Yuma Gold, I liked this one better, although I think they both are pretty lousy. But there's a nice action-scene in the beginning, which is still not much. Sadly the film is also too long 'bout 100min(75min would be better). There's actually some plot in this one, so fans of the genre(real fans only)might wanna check out, if you just find it.

Fear in the City (1981)

...some action and poor plot, Cosa Nostra and so on

[21 July 2000]

I watched this because Fred Williamson. But his part was smaller than the videocover says, hell there was even a Big picture( the whole frontcover!) of williamson holding a shotgun and guy is in film like one minute with no guns, he's in a suit smoking cigar and saying few lines. So this is Italian crimefilm, some action and poor plot, Cosa Nostra and so on. There's no reason to see this film, but if you like(well somebody does, I know) lousy B-crimefilms made in italy late 70's you might wanna take a look at this. 1,5/5

New Blood (1999)

this is not a bad one, not excellent either.

[13 July 2000]

This is a typical 90's Crimefilm. Now I've seen lots of films like this lately, and this is not a bad one, not excellent either. Those who watch lots of B-films(like me) might think that this is just ok.

There's good actors, the Script is kinda ok, and there's some welldone gunbattles.

Fort Yuma Gold (1966)

pretty average spaghetti western

[13 July 2000]

This film might be rarely seen, but who cares? there's nothing to see really, some horses, some lousy action, it's a typical low-budget Italian western, I've seen worser thou. Fans of the genre might wanna see this, but just remember to grab a few beer or something else first.

The Pass (1998)

enough hitchhikerflicks

[8 June 2000]

I've seen recently many hitchhiker films, and this one is not a good one. Stupid Plot, lousy script, but good actors. The Question is: What is actor like Forsythe doing in a film like this? or James LeGros? This Film is total waste of time, If you watch it be sure you are drunk. I would give it 2/5, just because of acting.

Pushing Tin (1999)

now this is a pretty good film

[8 June 2000]

This film has a really good casting and a pretty good script. It's a film about those air traffic controllers, which is not your average plot.

Nice comedy, pure entertainment. Check it out. I would give it 3,5/5.

Letters from a Killer (1998)

well written, still not really exiting

[8 June 2000]

This film is pretty well written and plot is not usual stuff, A Mystery I would say. Swayze is ok and so on, But there's still something missing. Anyway, I would give it 3/5.
