These arent so much "Cult Classics" as they are B-Movies. There are some somewhat entertaining flicks here and some that are atrocious. Other reviews go into more detail about individual movies, so to sum it up; DONT PAY A LOT FOR THIS SET!!!』
(Almost memorable) 『These are pretty cool movies. All include a little nudity here and there. Some more than others. Some of these movies are actually a bit memorable, and not just for the nude scenes. A great price for this many.』
(The joy of trash cinema) 『In Drive-In Cult Classics Volume 1, the viewer got a collection of trashy but fun dramas which focused on illicit sex and death. I have not watched Volume 2, which is a set of low-budget horror movies, some of which have even made it to Mystery Science Theater. Volume 3, however, is a true mish-mash of movies, but are overall pretty fun. All come from Crown International Pictures, a distributor of cheesy exploitation flicks (with a definite inclination towards gratuitous nudity).
Volume 3 has eight movies on four discs. On the first disc is The Babysitter and Weekend with the Babysitter, a pair of generally unrelated but similar movies. Each involves a middle-aged man (played by the same actor in both movies) having a fling with his child's babysitter and in the process getting entangled with crime. The Babysitter is the only black-and-white movie in the set.
Disc 2 has The Pink Angels and Blood Mania. Blood Mania is basically a suspense story with a lot of sex and a bit of trippiness. The Pink Angels is nominally a comedy, but it lacks any real laughs. It's the story of a gang of gay bikers. They don't actually do anything with each other, but instead are just an over-the-top collection of gay stereotypes. Even for those who find this movie likeable will be put off by the ending where things take an abrupt turn.
Things get both better and worse on Disc 3. Single Room Furnished is a rare Crown attempt to be arty, with an adaptation of a play about the tragic love life of a young woman. Unfortunately, the movie is too stagy and the acting and writing are subpar, led by Jayne Mansfield in her final role before her death in a car accident.
On the other side of Disc 3 is the first of a threesome of similar movies that continue on Disc 4. All three are late-`70s teen sex comedies. Van Nuys Blvd. (on Disc 3) romanticizes the era of cruising down the boulevard every Wednesday night. The Pom Pom Girls focus on some high school football players and their attempts to woo the title characters. Malibu Beach takes place mostly on Malibu Beach. All three are reasonably interchangeable: I enjoyed Van Nuys Blvd. the best (it seemed to have the most likeable characters), but they're all decent and pieces of cinematic greatness compared to some of the other Crown fare.
Overall, this is another collection of trashy fun; I enjoyed all these films with the exception of Single Room Furnished (more boring than bad) and to a lesser extent, Pink Angels. There are even a couple extras: a commentary and a couple movie trailers. For what these movies are - cheap entertainment - this is a good set to pick up.』
(Not cult by any means by worth a watch!) 『This set of 8 movies in a doubledvd style case are by no means cult classics. Perhaps rare and lowbudget but cult films usually have a following or a "special" quality that makes them memorable. What we have here is 3 or 4 decent movies with groovy soundtracks- frontal nudity and occassionaly interesting camera work. On this set Blood Mania(great soundtrack and nudity) and The Babysitter were my favorites but the later California Beach movies(Van Nuys Blvd and Malibu Beach) had some nice 70s girls baring it all and a lighthearted comic feel. This whole series of sets- 4 in total are pretty much all the same. You get a couple of decent movies and for the price its hard to complain but i wish they could land some real cult classics like Ilsa- Emanuelle- or Russ Meyer or Roger Corman films. A good way to pass a Sunday night.』
(Like An Album With A Few Good Songs You Can't Part With) 『VAN NUYS BLVD. The best of this bunch, especially if you've ever actually been to Van Nuys, and the theme song is hilarious. It's mostly just a loose collection of scenes, very few of which have anything to do with cruising or Van Nuys Boulevard. It's really more of a California fantasy lifestyle teen flick than anything else, loosely based on car culture, sex in vans, the beach, etc. Director's commentary is only occasionally interesting but at least there is one. Some lame-brain comedic scenarios, a lot of toplessness, and one scene that would be right at home in American Pie. But in spite of product claims to the contrary, Bobby does not 'get involved with topless dancers and bikers'. There is dancing, there is toplessness, there are bikers of a sort, but that's not the same thing.
THE POM POM GIRLS A fun dumb high school flick that isn't really about the Pom Pom Girls. It's mainly about rebellious football dudes (who are remarkably non-jock types) playing outrageous pranks on each other and their rival high school. Loose, freewheeling, unencumbered by plot, but enjoyable.
THE BABYSITTER The only black-and-white movie in this bunch and a pretty solid b-movie that balances the legitimate acting of George E. Carey against the guilty pleasures of gratuitous sex, bikers, lesbians, psychedelic bands, etc. But who wrote the synopsis on the DVD package? Were they high, or did they write it two weeks after seeing it and confuse the details? Candy does not "take a job working for the powerful district attorney" - she has an affair with a prosecutor who works for the DA. Candy also does not "step in and blackmail the D.A." - she tries to stop a biker chick from blackmailing George, the prosecutor. Get your story straight, man!
BLOOD MANIA Another fine example of exaggerated titling and bunko synopsis writing. There are 2 murders but it's hardly blood mania. Craig, a doctor who used to perform abortions, is being blackmailed for 50 grand by a hilariously miscast 'heavy'. One of Craig's patients is a wealthy old benefactor, the daughter of whom is a crazy art chick who is in love with Craig. She decides to kill the old man to get the inheritance money to solve Craig's blackmail problem, but it doesn't work. This has a Movie of the Week feel, for the most part. But again, the synopsis on the DVD package is way off - it is not about "a scorned daughter [who] murders her abortionist/physician father to get his inheritance and help out her junkie boyfriend."
WEEKEND WITH THE BABYSITTER Written and produced by the star, George E. Carey, who also wrote, produced, and starred in The Babysitter. Almost the same film, just updated a bit and in color this time, with a subplot about a heroin addict wife getting caught up in a botched drug deal on a boat. There's a disconcerting combination of faux hippy culture, shamelessly age-inappropriate sex, and moments of unabashed sincerity. A strange mishmash of The Trip (lite), Hawaii Five-O and Lolita. And another cul-de-sac sudden ending.
MALIBU BEACH Very light fare, typical beach movie.
THE PINK ANGELS A bunch of queens on bikes, not in drag, and not funny or interesting. Gave up after 30 minutes.
SINGLE ROOM FURNISHED Painfully horrible. Within 15 minutes you're in a digression within a digression and have the sinking feeling you stumbled into a black box theater where a scene study class is taking place. A blue collar couple is on a fake firescape talking about their not-actually poignant lives. The guy can't for the life of him fake a New York accent and can't stop moving his head with every word he speaks. Gave up after 30 minutes. Two nights later I picked up where I left off. That scene thankfully ended and another couple was introduced. They were no more watchable than the first, so I gave up again.』 『The Babysitter: Patricia Wymer plays Candy, the aptly named seductress babysitter who takes a job working for the powerful district attorney. A judge is about to sentence the murderous members of a motorcycle gang when Candy steps in and blackmails the D.A.
Weekend with the Babysitter: Mona Carlton leaves to take her son on a weekend trip when Candy Wilson, the babysitter arrives. Candy gets a hold of her movie director husband, Jim Carlton and teaches him the ways of hippies, bikers, free love and narcotics. Jim soon learns this new lifestyle pales in comparison to the love he has for his wife.
The Pink Angels: Six rugged motorcyclists gather on the side of the highway to plan an excursion to Los Angeles. Although they appear to be the burliest bunch of bikers this side of the Hell s Angels, they are actually cross-dressing madmen with an affinity for lipstick, high heels and braziers.
Blood Mania: A scorned daughter murders her abortionist/physician father to get his inheritance and help out her junkie boyfriend. All goes according to plan until she learns that she is not the beneficiary of his will. Directed by Robert Vincent O Neil (Angel).
Single Room Furnished: In her last performance, Jayne Mansfield portrays an innocent, voluptuous teenager who becomes a deserted pregnant wife, a waitress and a demented street-walker. This film also includes a side plot featuring a love story between two neighbors.
Van Nuys Blvd.: Bobby, a small-town kid hears about the wild nights of cruising the boulevard in Van Nuys, California. He hops in his van and drives down to check it out. Along the way he gets involved with drag racers, topless dancers and bikers.
The Pom Pom Girls: High school football player Johnnie is going to spend his senior year at Rosedale High School playing pranks and getting together with as many girls as possible. He and a buddy, along with two cheerleaders, are going to make their last year memorable. The Big Game with rival Hardin High School is approaching, and a prank war is about to rev into fill swing.
Malibu Beach: Various beachgoers attempt to have their eyes on the hot new lifeguard Dina (Kim Lankford). They range from a muscle-bound idiot to pesky kids pretending to drown in order to get some mouth-to-mouth action.』

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Gore is right!) 『This film definately isn't for everyone. The gore level rises to comedic extents and the creativity in the film easily makes it a cult classic. As for many cult classics however, the acting is a little lame in parts, but you're too busy watching blood spill everywhere to really notice. All in all, for those who are into the so called "gore porn" this is right up your alley. :)』
(Gorrrreat?) 『There are definitely a lot of people who do not enjoy the extremely satirized depiction of violence in this movie. However, I personally prefer movies that are honest with themselves regarding the level of fantasy they are aiming to achieve.
This movie's completely unrealistic in terms of gore, violence, characters, and setting. There are even some holes in the plot. But it's still an exceptional movie because it aims to do things that weren't been done before, and it does so in a very innovative manner.』
(Fun romp) 『If you like gory and over the top to ridiculous violence this move is a fun romp. Gotta see it at least once.』
(Japan: The source of 95% of the world's crazy ideas) 『Simply put, this is the most bizarre, ridiculous, gratuitous, nonsensical movie I have ever seen.
The daughter of a murdered police officer, Ruka (Eihi Shiina, the definition of evil in Audition) is a member of a future privatized police force - clad in a cross between ancient samurai gear, high-tech armor and Darth Vader helmets - whose sole purpose is to battle genetically enhanced, cyberpunk villains called engineers. Told between random commercials promoting wrist-cutting and discouraging seppuku (i.e. hara-kiri), the plotline is peppered with flashbacks, cartoons, and every possible oddity squeezable into a Japanese version of a circus freak-show. Think Judge Dredd with a ghetto Lucy Liu in place of Sly, mixed with the commercial jingoism of Starship Troopers and a ninja-slave-dog-sword-BDSM-slave-person(?).
There is a prostitute killer, an attempt to kill a school yard of children playing soccer, cranium kickball, torture porn and random torture, decapitation of a petty criminal, executions of peaceful protestors, sexual perversion, and a midget devil. If severed limbs are your thing, then you'll be in heaven. If generic gore, volcanic blood, and randomly inserted exploding heads tickle your fancy, then I recommend a viewing. If campy horror turns you on, this will be your Nicholas Sparks. If a Japanese dude doing a poor imitation of the Michael Jackson crotch grab as he walks towards a fetishist sex club where he gets Bobbit-ized, later attacked by a gatormaid, and grows a loin-cannon, well, be honest, that's not anybody's "thing."
This movie is meant to be as over-the-top gory and odd as possible; it succeeds. Thumbs up, I think. You get the point. 』
(Masterpiece!) 『Awesome! It's very entertaining, it's weird, it's cheesy, it's funny and it's extremely gory! It's not as good as The Machine Girl, but it's just as gory (maybe even gorier) and most of the effects are awesome! Nothing else to say really... It's simply absolutely *beep* awesome!
It's definitely in the top 10 goriest movies ever and that's coming from someone who has seen all of the movies that are considered to be gory!
I can't wait for Yoshihiro Nishimura's next movie!
Buy it! Unless you're a boring person who takes movies too seriously and can't laugh at the ridiculous.』 『In the near future, the Tokyo Police Corporation is locked in a bloody war with the "engineers." These genetically modified super-criminals can bio-fuse their open wounds with weapons, turning self-mutilation into a combat form. Ruka, the daughter of the police chief's murdered right-hand man, is now the top engineer hunter. With cold-blooded efficiency she cuts through the psychotic engineers and tracks down their home base, a truly bizarre fetish club. Nothing keeps her from her sworn duty, even when she finds out the truth behind her father's death.』

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Should have been better) 『Season 9 is where The X-Files lost its mojo. I personally blame Chris Carter for letting the show go on past its useful life. I love this show, but the problem with season 9 is that with Mulder completely gone you've already lost half of what made seasons 1 - 7 so great. The core of the show is Mulder and Scully cracking skulls and solving mysterious cases.
When you deviate from that core this much you're basically making an entirely different TV show and that's why season 9 failed. That's why the X-Files itself failed during season 9. I feel the creators of the show completely alienated fans during season 9.
Does this mean Annabeth Gish (Reyes) and Robert Patrick (Dogget) didn't do a great job? No. I actually think the show was decent with Dogget and Reyes. But the problem was it wasn't the X-Files. It was "Skinner, Dogget, Reyes vs the government" hour. Not "Mulder and Scully are on the case". The show was Mulder and Scully for 7 years and then they just took it all away.
I loved this show when it was just Mulder and Scully doing their thing.
Verdict: Season 9 is still a worthwhile purchase for any X-Files fan even though its not really the X-Files.』
(Hi) 『For all X file freaks its always great to see weird good TV.
Better than all that survival and reality garbage,
Barry』
(Not very good...and not because of a lack of Mulder.) 『*spoilers*
Season nine was lame because the episodes and overall story were lame. Sure, I would have liked to see Mulder, but I was satisfied enough with Dogget and Reyes.
I found the overall story to be annoying. Someone dies, but no, he's not dead. He then dies again, but no wait, he's not dead. After a while, I stopped caring whenever someone died or ended up in a coma. However, this wasn't limited to just season 9.
The only thing I really cared about was when the Lone Gunman died. Those were probably the only deaths in the series that bummed me out. And that's only because we saw their funeral and knew they weren't coming back. Had we not seen the funeral, I wouldn't have cared since I would have expected them to miraculously come back to life somehow.
I didn't like the story of Scully's miracle baby, Mulder's disappearance (though I'm sure the series could have survived without him...though maybe with not such a huge following), the super soldiers, and the alien bounty hunters. This isn't the X-Files from the early days that I came to like. I realize there were probably good reasons for changing the scope of the series, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.
I really liked the early seasons where they were regular FBI agents who investigated the unknown. I must admit, I felt the series needed an overall story. Well, I got what I wanted and was very unsatisfied. I still think the overall story would have worked, had they done things differently. I liked the recent movie "I want to Believe", but I really don't think it fixed any of the problems from season 9. If there's a future movie, I hope they make it more like "Fight the Future" and attempt to give season 9 some closure. For example, whatever happened to agents Dogget and Reyes? That's going to take some serious effort, but that's why these people make millions, right?
Season 9 is definitely worth watching if you are a big X-Files fan. However, if you are trying to cut back on TV time or aren't a big fan, don't bother watching. If you didn't like season 8, you'll probably like this one less.
One more thing, Amazon didn't send me the "Slim set" for seasons 8 or 9. If you are looking for the Slim set to match the rest of the series, you may want to ensure they have them in stock before you order.』
(The series could have gone on) 『Originally with season 8 it was tough to accept the Dogget character because we had a guy like Mulder who was cerebral and Dogget was too much old school cop. But... as time went on Dogget realized he was not just a FBI agent but an X-files FBI agent. He and Reyes won me over. They were a team and not better than Mulder and Sculley but great in their own right. There is no doubt the series could have gone another year but the traditional X-files fans apaprently did not truly accept the NEW TEAM, and maybe the series had gone on too long. All I know is I was addicted to the X-files for many reasons. I never really had the time to sit down on Sundays and watch the show every week but when I did It was great. I liked the X-files because each episode was like a mini movie, not a weekly series. I hope they make another movie and Patrick and Gish are in in this time. They should have been in the last one. If you really understand the X-files then you know that the episodes just didn't follow in lock step, there was always a side track-like the last movie, then they would get back in line with the E.T stuff. This last series was a lot better than I ever expected.』
(X- Files Season 9) 『All like that serie,I want to buy more from this series, for completing my all 9 Season.』 『Now you can own the entire ninth season of THE X-FILES?. All 19 classic episodes (including the 2-hour series finale) are available for the first time in this exclusive 7-disc collector?s edition. From the revelation about Scully?s baby in ?Nothing Important Happened Today? and the mystery surrounding the murder of Agent Doggett?s son in ?Release? to Mulder?s final confrontation with those who would deny ?The Truth,? these Season Nine episodes are a must for every X-Files fan!』 『Though season 9 may not be the best period in a long line of groundbreaking television, it is still worthy of theX-Filesname. Knowing this was the last season had many fans prematurely disgruntled, and the expectation for "going out with a bang" was extremely high. Lots of longtime issues came to a head (Scully's single motherhood, new X-files agents at the helm, Agent Skinner is now a believer, Mulder MIA, etc.), and many new issues and plots arose. Learning the facts of his son's death, Agent Doggett (Robert Patrick) seeks out the missing Agent Mulder (David Duchovny) to help him expose the corrupt Deputy Director Kersh (James Pickens Jr.). Knowing that her gifted son William is a target of a religious cult, Scully (Gillian Anderson) enlists the help of the Lone Gunmen for protection. The missing Mulder is finally located. Unfortunately, he is being held in custody by the military on murder charges, which leads to the grand finale: the trial, not for a man guilty of murder, but for a man guilty of seekingthe Truth.
The naysayers have plenty of valid complaints (particularly about the "Super Soldiers" segue), and many hated that the Mulder/Scully pairing was gone, but there are a few aspects that are universally positive, and there aren't many complaints about their replacements, Agent Doggett and Agent Reyes (Annabeth Gish). In fact, many feel that the show could have easily continued if the show's writing had been better. The final episode was more or less a 90-minute recap of theX-Filesphenomenon. After "The Truth" ended, disappointed hardcore fans couldn't help but feel it was a set-up for an upcoming movie, but casual fans should find the episode very helpful in linking together the mythos that entranced and confused viewers for years. It may not be up to par with the first six seasons, but season 9 is still a lot better than most television shows. If you have the nerve to revisit this season, you will be pleasantly surprised.--Rob Bracco』

I just bought it to complete the set. The movie was fine. Honestly speaking though, this is just not my favorite show. I'll take Frankenstein or the Wolfman anyday.』
(The Mummy - The Legacy) 『This is an excellent movie with Boris Carloff as the mummy. Inspired by the artifacts and mummy found in king Tut's tomb laid the foundation and basis of the high tech mummy movies of today.
This movie was probably limited by it's day, mention was made of the power of the mummy but not much was done to demonstrate it's power other then a few killings and some mind control.
A must see for any serious0 fan of the current day mummy movies if for no other reason but to see where the roots were planted that some 70 years ago.
This particular set comes with all the sequel mummy movies where the mummy was played by Lon Chaney Jr., these were a bit lower quality in plot, but still helped to lay the foundation of the modern day mummy movies.』
(Not as scary as I remembered) 『This is another horror classic that I used to love in my younger years along with Dracula and Frankenstein. I remember hiding under the living room couch upon watching the mummy slithering along the sand. The creature is still creepy today, but not as scary anymore. Horror films are not made like this anymore. Blood, destruction, sex, violence and gore would be today's standards to amuse the blood-thirsty public. Even in B/W The Mummy and sequels are still excellent productions of the original monster films. They're well worth owning.』
(The original is (almoist) always the best) 『This B&W movie of "The Mummy" with Boris Karloff is a magnificent example of how children can be scared out of their pants and utterly delighted at the same time. I saw the movie a couple of times as a kid and several more times as an adult. Now that I am fast approaching retirement age, I find that it is just as entertaining as it was 50 years ago. The makeup on Mr. Karloff is utterly believable and, if his body position when he walks appears a little silly, so what? It is the rest of the time that the mummy sends chills down your back. The flashbacks are great and give us an understanding of his unending search for his lost love, the princess, now embodied in the movie's heroine in this century (or was it last century?).
Regardless of the few minor imperfections in this original version of "The Mummy", I found it to be just as entertaining as it was when I first saw it and even spookier in black and white that it is in the modern color version. No one will ever beat Boris Karloff in this role. He lends just the right amounts of pathos and evil, so that you find yourself wishing he could recover his lost love, just don't let her be the heroine of this particular movie because she is already taken.
Buy it, keep it, watch it periodically and, when you get to be my age, I hope you will enjoy it just as much as I have.』
(the mummy 1 2 3 4 5) 『i think the mummy s curse is the bettter one butbthaths your decisicion and the mummy is the worse』 『For the first time ever, the original The Mummy film comes to DVD in this extraordinary Legacy Collection. Included in the collection is the original classic, starring the renowned Boris Karloff, and four timeless sequels, featuring legendary action Lon Chaney, Jr. and others.

(Who would think the French could do a movie like this?) 『Great movie, interesting characters and excellent fight sequences. I first saw it in the theater some years ago, then bought the original release DVD and the extended version.
Mark Dacascos does a great job as the Indian companion to SamuelLeBihan (Fronsac). The movie has the full-spectrum of what you would want, great blood and guts action, a unique sci-fi beast/villian, great period costumes and settings, and an excellent surprising brothel scene with some beautiful women.
Be warned, watch the movie in subtitles. But if you dare to watch the English dubbed version, this movie instantly turns into a comedy!! The dubbing is so bad it's hillarious!! Fronsac's voice sounds like he has a frog in his throat and the dialogue when he meets his love interest is side-splitting! Also the scence when he is in the brothel with Monicca Belucci is a good one too. You will literally die of laughter of the way the voice is done- overly breathy and riduculous dialogue.
Enjoy!!』
(Couldn't believe it was in French) 『I saw this in the theaters, not knowing it was a foreign film. Even tho it had been 20 years since my last French class, I was so drawn into the story I didn't notice the difference, and barely glanced at the subtitles. Proof to me of it's excellence.』
(Horror film with a twist) 『Well paced horror film that keeps viewer in suspense. Some formula aspects to the film, but still very enjoyable to watch. Photography is excellent and the acting is, for the most part, outstanding.』
(Beautifully Visual and Entertaining) 『I have watched this movie many many times and every time I still enjoy it.
I just recently bought this newer director's cut release. It is loaded with extras and bonus scenes replaced into the film that are new and interesting to me.
Brotherhood of the Wolf is one of the first movies to deal with the French legend of the Beast of Gévaudan. Mind you, to people who have studied the Beast this is not an exact portrayal of what people said happened, but it is a very fun and beautiful film overall.
This story takes place in the French countryside during the 1760's. It has to do with a large creature that is attacking and killing people seemingly at will. This creature is rumored to be a wolf, but no matter how many wolves they hunt, the creature still attacks. Not only that, but the killing seems to be uncharacteristic of a wolf, not to mention the dead show that they were attacked by a much larger creature. Rumors fly and conspiracies mount as the royal taxidermist and naturalist is sent to investigate this beast. Along with his American Indian blood brother Mani, he searches and digs for the truth among rumors and religious fear trying to stop him the entire way. Finally in the end we learn the secrets that the beast carries with it along with the people involved in an attempt to bring down the Catholic Church with their plots.
Overall I love the story. It is complex and fun, somewhat of a stretch of reality, but it holds up well. The movie is a bit strange in that this American Indian Shaman that comes to France has some weird exotic martial arts that come forward in a few kung-fu style fight scenes. It is a bit out of place, but wonderfully directed and choreographed. The real gem of this film are the overall visuals and details. Every scene has such rich backgrounds and skies, along with some beautifully created sets in the forest. All this shadows in the look of the actual beast itself. It takes awhile into the film before you even get your first glance at it, but it is nothing but gnarly looking. Although the beast has no sense of reality in it at all, the looks or it are just down right scary. I do not think that I have seen a freaker/eye-catching baddie in a film lately, except maybe the Baby-Eater in Pan's Labyrinth.
Overall, this is one of my favorite movies to put on when I am sitting around the house and want to be entertained. It is not for everyone though. Some scenes are a violent and there is a bit of sex and nudity throughout the film, so beware. It is not intended for children. Also, as a warning, the movie is naturally in French but the DVD has an English track if you cannot stand reading subtitles.
Definitely worth the price of the DVD. I would have paid double for it, so I found it to be a steal.』 『Brotherhood of the Wolf leaps into a new realm of suspense with this thrilling 2-disc Director's Cut of the international film sensation! When a mysterious beast ravages the countryside, two unlikely heroes are called in to fight the evil. And now, their battle against dark, unspeakable terror is even more gripping with a daring extended version of the film that showcases more of the breathtaking martial arts action and over four hours of in-depth bonus features. The incredible hit that took audiences and critics alike on“a wild ride” (Premiere) is back with more chilling adventure that’s sure to have pulses racing all over again.』 『If you crave an over-the-top historical kung fu-fantasy epic with a good dose of voluptuous nudity, bravura machismo, and passions so intense they verge on ridiculous, thenBrotherhood of the Wolfis your movie. Based (loosely) on an 18th-century legend, this French film follows a hunky scientist (Samuel Le Bihan, who's sort of a second-string Christopher Lambert) and his Iroquois sidekick/spiritual partner (Mark Dacascos) as they pursue a monstrous wolf ravaging the French countryside. Along the way Le Bihan gets entwined with a beautiful noblewoman (Émilie Dequenne) and a gorgeous prostitute (Monica Belluci) with secrets. The plot grows more and more incomprehensible, but the mix of torrid emotions, outrageous action sequences, and lurid titillation is really what the movie is about. Ignore the highbrow philosophizing and confused political intrigue; just enjoy the sensual images.--Bret Fetzer』

(FBI Agent Miller is the star) 『This movie is worth 5 stars because of the hot brunette FBI Agent Frankie Miller (Holly Dignard)!
I have to give a 4-star rating because of the plot and production. Most of the movie is just one whirl of disconnected suspense about how one maverick cop (Seagal, of course) tries to fit clues to find 2 serial killers on the loose. Some scenes are just too abrupt and don't flow with the movie: eg. how and where did FBI Agent Miller land up entering an apartment of a man who was threatening his woman with a weapon? One minute Agent Miller has just walked out of a crime scene and the next scene shows her and another female cop in an already opened doorway confronting the armed man. You should see how this sexy FBI Agent disarmed her potential attacker with ease without sweating her waxed eyebrows - she moves faster than Seagal! LOL!
Zoom or pan out the camera, Seagal. Your fans want to see your fancy footwork and hands. How about I produce a movie with you next time?
Tell you more later!

(a hot time in Memphis with Stevie . . .) 『Kill Switch (2008) is a gritty and edgy thriller set in Memphis, featuring Steven Seagal as Jacob King, a police detective on the trail of a pair of psychotic killers. Bille Joe Hill (Mark Collie) is a sadistic nutcase who enjoys using a knife. Lazereus (Michael Filipowich), is deeply into astrology, the occult, and heavy metal. Hidden in the shadows, driven to kill by inner demons, he is the serial killer known as 'the Grifter'. With FBI agent Frankie Miller (Holly Dignard) poking around, King has his hands full. In one of his last film appearances, the late Isaac Hayes adds some class and humor, as an overtaxed coroner.
Seagal's films are often the subject of harsh criticism, and while Jeff King directs, Seagal can be held to account more than usual, as he did write the screenplay. The film moves along pretty well, but there are some problems with the fight scenes. Some of the action sequences may produce dizziness or eye strain, due to the frequent use of a technique where the same event is shown several times. This repeat view technique, combined with the usual quick cutting, use of doubles, insertion of Seagal's face, and changing of speeds, leads to some disjointed looking scenes. One fight in a bar seems to go on forever. This is followed by an extended, poorly executed gunfight in the street. Things like this, detracts from the general enjoyment of the film.
Besides agent Miller, Seagal has written in a number of females for his character to interact with. Karyn Michelle Baltzer is Celine, a police officer whose role in King's life is not spelled out, though she is often in King's home wearing a robe. Daniella Evangelista is a lovely barmaid, who somehow winds up pinned to a door. Exotic Anna Mae Routledge, plays a librarian who crosses paths with Hill, and meets an unknown fate. And Andrea Stefancikova makes a brief but revealing appearance as King's better half.
Kill Switch has a dark and heavy atmosphere. Seagal's screenplay has a hard edge, with lots of brutality, including the hammering and breaking of bones, surging arterial flow, psychotic killers, and a number of women getting slashed. With King actually doing some half decent detective work, and a pretty good cast, this is probably one of Seagal's better direct to video projects.』
(Seagal is at it again) 『Kill Switch is another DTV starring Steven Seagal (who also wrote) as a Detective investigating a series of grisly murders.It's got a good plot kinda Seven-like but with alot more action.I only have a few complaints being the Seagal fan i am.His double is too noticeable and the quick cuts.These and the ending are the only downfall.All in all this is a good movie it has it's high points but i liked Driven to Kill much better.』
(Seagal: still beating the crap out of bad guys after all these years) 『It's been quite awhile since I saw my last Steven Seagal film, so maybe that's why I enjoyed Kill Switch a little more than most other viewers. Watching bad guys pay a heavy price for their crimes falls under my definition of entertainment, and Seagal just absolutely beats the crap out of any loser dumb enough to get in his way - and he doesn't waste any time getting down to business. In the opening scene, some sicko has wired explosives to a woman's chest, and the bomb squad has only a few minutes to figure out which wire to cut. Somehow knowing that the perpetrator is watching from a room across the street, Seagal's character bursts in on him and subjects him to some rather intense interrogation. It's just a foretaste of the violence to come later in the movie.
The story, which Steven Seagal wrote himself, isn't all that bad - especially given the pretty obvious fact that parts of that story didn't make it into the studio's final cut. The product description, for example, describes Seagal's character, Detective Jacob King, as "one of the most celebrated homicide detectives in the country." That certainly didn't come through in the film; as far as I could tell, he was just a Memphis detective (with perhaps the weirdest pseudo-Southern accent I've ever heard) who tends to go into rogue mode during his investigations but always ends up getting his man. There also seem to be some holes in the subplot involving the less important of two murderers, but it's the ending - unexpected and potentially confusing - that strongly suggests that you the viewer are correct in thinking you must have missed something pretty important earlier in the film.
Of course, you don't watch a Seagal film for the storyline; you watch it for all of the butt-kicking action sure to come your way. If the plot holds together in any sort of concrete manner, that's just a bonus. (Speaking of bonuses, Kill Switch also features the great Isaac Hayes - playing a coroner - in one of his final film roles.) Kill Switch definitely serves up plenty of action, as Jacob has to go through a lot of different people to get his hands on a serial killer before he claims another victim. Subplots come and go (and I must say the inclusion of Holly Dignard as an FBI special agent sent to observe and evaluate Jacob's rather unconventional style of crime fighting is one that was never truly developed), but Seagal's action scenes (with or without a stunt double) are still worth the price of admission.』 『Detective Jacob Stillwell (Steven Seagal) is one of the most celebrated homicide detectives in the country. His brutal delivery of street justice is legendary among the men and women of law enforcement. But on this latest case, he may have finally met his match Lazerus, a cunning and perversely violent killer who is on the loose and terrorizing the inner city. Stillwell s desperate pursuit of Lazerus takes him into the dark, depraved Memphis underworld of street sex and senseless violence.』

Cook) has a premonition about a massive series of car accidents on the highway she and her friends are on, she pulls her car over. A cop, Thomas Burke (Michael Landes), comes up to her and asks why she's blocking traffic. She says there's going to be a huge accident and, sure enough, events begin to unfold on Highway 180 . . . but without them unlike in her vision. The cop goes to alert other emergency personnel. An oncoming truck heads right for Kim's car. Kim escapes but her friends are killed. Yet others--who had died in the multiple wrecks in Kim's vision--also survive.
Soon, the survivors are all together. Except one by one Death comes for them, making things as they should be, restoring order and bringing his agenda of who dies and when back under his control.
To try and stop the cycle before it's too late, Kim seeks out a survivor from the first movie--Clear Rivers (Ali Larter)--and Clear takes command, explaining why people are dying and how to save themselves.
If they believe her.
Shock, gore and suspense are what this movie is all about.
I got to tell you, this movie had me biting my nails all the way through. After the *ahem* blood settled and we knew who the major players were, I was gripping my seat because very quickly they slowly began to die. And not just, oh, they die slowly--but in that step-by-step, cause-and-effect way that is the Final Destination franchise's hallmark. These movies are very much about the Butterfly Effect, and the way the tension is created as you wait for someone to be a goner is pure gold.
I loved the creative ways folks died in the movie. No clear-cut, bang-you're-dead stuff here. Just pure strange ways of checking out. The most creative, I thought, was when that kid got squished by a falling sheet of glass. Didn't see that coming, and the way he folded in half is burned in my memory. Likewise when the barb-wired fence dices Rory (Jonathan Cherry) into pieces. Who comes up with this stuff?
The only thing that got under my skin was Clear's constantly talking about "Death's design." Okay. We get it. He has a design. Move on. I don't need to hear you using that phrase a thousand times in the movie.
This flick has a permanent place in my DVD collection.
Recommended.

(Hopeless Bluray) 『I got this BD yesterday&was expecting a better version than the DVD but unfortunately its the worst bluray Ive got Firstly there is no startup menu no subtitles pop up menu has just one option of sound no scene selection ( if you have to watch a particular chapter you have to start from begining&manually go to the particular chapter which is frustating after paying almost 35$.) The picture&sound quality are pretty good but the DVD version has much more options than this Bluray. DO NOT BUY THIS BD&GET FOOLED.』
(good) 『I think the only problem I have with Final Destination 2 is that the pacing of the storyline isn't as good as in the original. I mean, all the scenes that are supposed to build to a dramatic tragic death because it's that persons time to leave this world according to death... these particular moments always felt rushed to me with not much of an interesting build up getting to them. It's like the writers didn't feel like building to the suspenseful moments this time around. Much lazier writing compared to the first Final Destination.
Besides that, the graphic visuals of the deaths themselves are probably better than in the first one because they look so dang cool and violent, and the movie as a whole is right in between the first and third Final Destination movies as far as enjoyment is concerned. The original will always be the best one because it had great atmosphere and a somewhat original storyline.
Still, thinking aboug death and the big questions in life such as whether you are supposed to die at a certain time during your life will probably enter your mind as you watch Final Destination 2 and think about your own future. I guess this is such a huge and mysterious question we can't help but wonder the answer to it.』
(soup1978@yahoo.com) 『to me, this was the best movie out of all the series. this is a jaw dropping,eyes shuting,crazy,bug out movie. if you like crazy,suspense movies this movie is for you.』
(Death Gets All Up In Your Face) 『At heart, all horror movies operate on the human response to mortality. Your average horror fan gets a thrill from the films because they are a sort of spice for life, they are the seasoning that makes the mundane parts of life all the more richer. Watch a bunch of people get sliced and diced by a monster or madman, and that adrenaline rush makes you feel as if, on some level, you yourself have cheated death. For awhile or more, it's nice to be alive.
The FINAL DESTINATION films utilize the same premise, but instead of creating a defeatable or relatable villain, it makes the very act of dying the villain. Watching the movies, it's very much like they decided that the force of Death, after a millenia of ending lives, has grown bored and has decided to put some spice into his job. In all of the movies, Death awards a young soul with a premonition of a huge catastrophe, and when that soul saves him/herself (along with a handful of others), Death gleefully sets up cat-and-mouse games with the survivors and watches as they scream and skitter. The question is never Will They Die? It is How Long Can They Hold Out?
Because everyone dies, sooner or later, and it's rarely at the hands of a zombie or a Leatherface. Car accidents are far more common. Fires. Mechanical failures. The FD films make Death a snarky, sadistic force without ever showing his face. Instead, Death operates basically through three cards -- wind, gravity, and passive human interference -- and with these three things, he orchestrates the deaths of dozens and dozens of characters. These films are filled with pointless scenes of people screaming that they're in control of their lives, scoffing at the idea that Death lurks everywhere. Then they die.
The real fun in these films lies in the complex machinations that Death sets in motion with the leak of a pipe or the flutter of a bird. If you're expecting interesting plots, complex characters, or realistic dialogue, prepare to be HEAVILY disappointed. In fact, these elements of the films get steadily more and more wooden and cartoonish, until by the fourth installment, they are laughably bad. The makers know that what you're really waiting for is to watch Death do his thing, investing everything from quarters to fishsticks with a sinister menace. To that end, I have provided here a summary of the only thing about each of these films that is worth watching: the death scenes.
Final Destination (New Line Platinum Series): In the first film, Death's premonition is visited upon a young student on a plane. The ensuing plane accident (5/5) gave me nightmares for a week. When the student leaves the plane along with others, he then experiences more premonitions (most of them cheesy reflections in windows) indicating that Death is now hunting them down. Of all the movies, this one features the most personified version of Death. A dark mist accompanies each death, and you can even see Death pursuing some characters, especially in a tense bathroom scene (4/5). Some of the deaths feature complex sequences of domino-like chains (there is a catastrophic house fire (4/5) and a menacing electrical storm (4/5)). Others are less creative (the bus and train accidents are both unimaginative throwaways (2/5)). The final death (by sign) is a cheeky nod at the movie's premise (4/5). Notable in this film: Death has a soundtrack, which turns out to feature, over and over again, "Leaving on a Jet Plane."
FINAL DESTINATION 2: Death isn't so hung up on music this time around, but that's okay because he's a bit more creative. This film's opening highway accident is by far the best beginning out of any of these films (5/5), and when the storyline later ties the survivor's lives to the events of the first film, it's actually interestingly done. Not as interesting as the deaths, though. You've got a tongue-in-cheek apartment fire (4/5), a crushing visit to the dentist (4/5), and an unusually persistent elevator (3/5). In one case, the jaws of life have the opposite function (4/5), and in another case a flying fence executes a mortal ballet (5/5). There are also three explosive deaths that are a little cheap (2/5). The characters this time around all get premonitions (again, mostly just false reflections in windows), and they spend a lot of pointless time trying to cheat Death's plan (their ideas mostly centering around a "new life"). The final scene, just as in the first film, is an over-the-top nyuck-nyuck moment. "It's all in fun," Death seems to be saying.
Final Destination 3: This time around it's a roller coaster catastrophe (4/5). The movie has a creative idea by putting the premonitions into poorly shot yearbook photos, and Death continues to get up in people's faces with ominous/ironic songs and smug little omens (before one death, characters at a drive-in watch as the word "control" disappears from the digital menu). The first "catch-up" death in a tanning salon is perhaps the best of the film (5/5), although there's a nicely intricate set-up later in the film that involves a nail-gun (5/5). A runaway truck and horse and a falling sign constitute some of the film's weaker executions (2/5, 3/5, and 2/5, respectively). Elsewhere in the film, the movie's token "I'm Gonna Live Forever!" character battles death in a weight room (4/5). The movie concludes with an intense subway scene that is kinda cool, but also sort of a rip off as far as endings go. (4/5)
The Final Destination [Theatrical Release]: The opener here is the weakest of the franchise. It takes place at a racing track, and so all of the subtle connections and coincidences get lost in the sprawling chaos of the catastrophe (3/5). The premonitions this time around are ridiculously aggressive hallucinations, and they forecast some rather uncreative demises. One man is murdered by a tow truck in a way that almost makes sense (1/5). Another character bites it at a hair salon in a rather unsatisfying fashion (2/5). There's a clever little two-fer where two characters simultaneously battle watery deaths, although both are almost too cartoonish to be all that scary (4/5 - car wash; 3/5 - swimming pool). The movie's real saving grace (aside from the 3D, which does its job without much fuss) is it's final theater/mall debacle, which is witty, self-referential, and fairly intense (5/5). The close of the movie (and, ostensibly, the franchise) is an unceremonious vehicular accident that is only notable for the X-ray vision it is finally shot in.』 『This summer, fasten your seatbelts for the ultimate rollercoaster!! Packed with cutting-edge special effects, state-of-the-art gore and enough scares to send your heartbeat into overdrive, Final Destination 2 is a killer sequel to the smash-hit original.

』 『Final Destination 2begins with a well-orchestrated multicar pileup on a freeway--a horrifying accident that turns out to be a premonition, as seen by a young woman (A.J. Cook) who saves herself and several other people by blocking a freeway on-ramp. Thus, as in the firstFinal Destination, a prescient vision disrupts the destined plans of death, and death goes to extreme lengths to correct matters. What makesFinal Destination 2entertaining is that the characters can only survive by learning to recognize the signs of impending doom--and the signs are basically the cinematic foreshadowing that moviemakers use to invoke suspense. This, combined with some elaborately complicated and gruesome deaths, fosters a ghoulish humor that's more entertaining than the smirky self-referentiality ofScream.Final Destination 2doesn't aspire to be a great movie, but trash has its pleasures. Also featuring Ali Larter as the only survivor of the first movie.--Bret Fetzer』

This is a wonderful and gripping story and, as over 50 years ago, it scared the living daylights out of me. Try to watch this movie with someone else in the house! Fantastic cast and extremely well done. Buy it!!!!』
(Great mystery film) 『If you like mystery movies you will enjoy this movie. Black and white but wonderful acting. A family film.』
(Very good and entertaining!) 『This movie was "superb" as my husband says. Kept my attention and suspense-filled without being gory! They cant make movies like this anymore!』
(The Only Good Agatha Christie Movie) 『Yes, I know Agatha Christie has her fans, but her stories very much belong to a certain time period, and modern versions always seem somehow like present-day actors pretending to be past-day characters. But this movie was actually made during Agatha's heyday and it rings true. Like all of Christie's plot lines, its a little too fantastic to be believed today, but at the time it was made, it seems possible. There are things about that time that are very different than today. When the cook is murdered, everyone worries that they'll starve because people in high society can't prepare their own meals. Complete strangers are invited to spend the weekend on an island by someone named U.N. Own. Strained - Right? And would you really go to visit someone you didn't know for the weekend? But all that aside, its still a good mystery. Barry Fitzgerald makes it work beautifully. If you like mysteries from the 30s and 40s, you'll love it. If that's not your cup of tea, you won't. The direction is excellent and the mood is great, gloomy and isolated.』
(1 Little, 2 Little, 3 Little Indians) 『This is Rene Clair's masterpiece in my opinion. His direction takes this Christie classic novel to a whole new level, adding dimensions relevant to classic cinema. Roland Young (best known for Topper / Topper Returns (Enhanced) 1941) is probably the most recognizable name in this film. His character is also the most instrumental to the film, keeping it witty and never allowing the seriousness to get out of hand. Walter Huston (best know for Abraham Lincoln (Enhanced) 1930) is also a main stay, as the charming and ever drinking doctor. As a supporting actress, Judith Anderson controls her scenes as the back-handed spinster.
The chemistry among all the actors is exceptional considering the lead role is played by a relative unknown in Louis Hayward(Mr. Lombard). All the elements of this film combine in true artistic perfection which makes this movie a true indulgence.』 『This is it! Agatha Christie's famous mystery, "Ten Little Indians," deftly brought to the screen by legendary French director Rene Clair in this restored original screen masterwork. Ten strangers are invited as weekend guests to a mansion on a remote island. When the host doesn't show up, the guests start dying, one by one, in uniquely macabre Agatha Christie-style. A brilliant cast lead by Academy Award-winning actors Barry Fitzgerald and Walter Huston.』 『At first glance, René Clair might seem an odd match for Agatha Christie's mystery thrillerTen Little Indians, but his buoyant touch is exactly what is missing from so many overly solemn remakes. Ten strangers gather for a mysterious gathering on a secluded island. It turns out to be a farewell party, for they all have been sentenced to die for crimes in their past by a self-appointed judge, jury, and executioner who may be one of them. One by one, the guests are systematically dispatched in the manner described in the lyrics of the children's rhyme "Ten Little Indians," while the survivors nervously eye one another, splintering into tenuous alliances until the next murder throws suspicion on someone new. The terrific cast of character actors has a ball with Dudley Nichols's witty script. The flamboyant sparring of Barry Fitzgerald (whose paternal Irish lilt takes a sinister dimension) and Walter Huston is almost upstaged by Roland Young's deadpan drollery. Romantic leads Louis Hayward and June Duprez come off as arch and stiff in august company that includes a sinisterly detached Judith Anderson, a dotty and distracted C. Aubrey Smith, and a hilariously flippant Mischa Auer. The story has been remade numerous times under the title of Christie's novel,Ten Little Indians, but never as well. Clair's effervescent, lively little gem is a fatal drawing-room comedy with a body count and a surreal mood of doom.--Sean Axmaker』

(The Covenant) 『I had never heard of this movie until my son told me about it. He knows how much I loved Twilight so he thought I would like it. No, it's not about vampires. It's in a class of it's own. I loved this movie. I've watched in five times so far. It is great.』
(THIS SUCKED, AND IT SUCKED HARD 3.5 OUT OF 10) 『Holy hell almighty! No wonder critics hated this film so much (A rating of only 3% fresh on RottenTomatoes.com). I knew this film was going to be really stupid, but damn it sucked worse than I thought it would! Shame on these producers because they are the same producers behind the excellent horror-action Underworld films, and shame on the director too; Renny Harlin who directed Deep Blue Sea and Die Hard 2 (Both great films). Bad Sony Pictures! Bad! This film is incompetent on just about every level and was obviously created for teenage girls; the same teenage girls who went crazy for the God-awful Twilight film. While this film is above the quality of the awful Twilight film because it has more interesting ideas to boot, but it still sucks pretty damn hard. The teenage girls will be the only ones who like this film about teenage warlocks with six-packs who shave their body hair. If this doesn't appeal to you then just walk away. WHAT IT'S ABOUT: There are four brothers who are known as the 'Sons of Ipswich' at Spenser Academy who are more than 300 years old and hide their powers because in the 17th century their kind were being killed by witch hunters. So they hide their powers away from most people. After awhile they meet a new student who seems like a fairly likable friend, but then they realize "Oh s***, the banished fifth brother has returned!" Now they must use their powers, rescue their damsels in distress, and destroy the fifth brother. LAME. The story is a cluttered incoherent, convoluted, and abysmal mess of storytelling. MUSIC: This was obviously designed for teens... and it sucks. I hated the music, it wasn't horrible like Twilight's but this score still sucked pretty bad. ACTION: This film is loaded with stupid special effects, cheesy fight scenes, it's stuffed with cliches, hot women who are too stupid to save themselves, and scene with a locker room of naked men, YAY... The only quality that can be derived from this atrocious film is the fact you can laugh at some parts because they're so bad that they're funny. Other than that you are left with one truly awful supernatural thriller. On top of the cheesy action scenes you are treated to an incredibly boring film as well. Crappy, crappy, crappy. ACTING: These actors were terrible and there were no redeeming qualities to their acting. The dialogue was also a horrid mess that can't accomplish being even remotely believable. But that probably doesn't matter to the teenage girls this film is geared towards, they'll love any male actor who they is hot despite their horrid acting. OVERALL: Unless you are a teenage girl who is intent on seeing this film just to fantasize about guys with six-packs and no body hair, a pointless and hackneyed storyline doesn't matter to you, if bad special effects amaze you, and if you enjoy terrible musical scores then by all means watch this film. As for the rest of us we'll just go watch Underworld instead. THE GOOD: Those "so bad it's funny" moments. THE BAD: Everything else』
(Strictly For The Gen Y Crowd) 『Oh boy, what a dopey, poorly written, poorly acted piece of garbage. The special effects are a joke. The main characters all graduated from the Paul Walker/Hayden Christensen school of acting, which is not a compliment unless of course you enjoy watching completely emotionless, wooden, and monotone performances. Plot, you want plot, well it's male model witch vs male model witch in an epic showdown filled with all of the poor special effects you can handle. Oh yeah, there's also some dopey chicks thrown in for good measure, you know, for the proverbial love interest/damsel in distress who needs rescuing subplot.
In case you're wondering, no, I did not pay good money to see this in the theater. I caught in on cable because there was absolutely nothing else on and because it was free.
This is a movie for gen y tweens who I'm sure will love it, as they typically don't care about stuff like plot, pacing, acting, script, or special effects quality. A little beefcake/T&A, lots of "stuff" on the screen to satisfy their short attention spans, and a sappy subplot love story and they're happy. Everyone else will most likely not be happy with this movie, not at all.』
(Nude Ipswitch Male Student Rave) 『A next movie of a who-knows-what-for mix of modern cars and Dark Age stories slightly watch-able for comic hints deploying some same gender affairs, handsome young actors not ashamed to strip before cameras and techno-tricks substituted a real human professionalism of Jackie Chan et al.
Something like The Lost Boysbut even lesser sensible.

The movie seemed rushed to me. Especially the scenes where they were traveling around the world. I had a hard time seeing the characters connect and the storyline could have been much better.
