>,Gerard Butler,Justine Waddell,Jonny Lee Miller,Christopher Plummer,Colleen Fitzpatrickprice: Dimension Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (A Mixed Review) ![]() ![]() ![]() 『Ok, so the only reason I watched this movie, I'll be honest, is because Gerard Butler is in it. I wasn't disappointed there. It's not the best piece of Gerry's work, but if you love Gerry, as I do, you'll watch it every now and then just because he's in it. I'm glad I saw Phantom of the Opera before this movie, because if I had seen this movie before any of Gerry's other movies, I probably would have been swayed not to give his other movies a chance. Sacrilige in Gerry-world I know, but it's the truth. First of all, I'll admit, it's kind of interesting to think that Dracula is really Judas Iscariot. After that though, it made me a tad uncomfortable. Being a Catholic myself, all the references Gerry makes as Dracula to Jesus Christ is a little over the top, at least for me. This is why I said I'm glad I saw him in other movies before this one. There are other movies, long before Gerry was better known, that are more entertaining than Dracula 2000. I suppose if you like Dracula you might find it interesting. The special features on this dvd are entertaining though. If you like Gerard Butler, you will like this movie, you'll be forgiving because, well, he's Gerry. lol Other than that, I'm not sure if you would enjoy it. My advice? Rent it from Blockbuster first, and if you like it enough to buy it then do it.』 (A flawed but undeniably fun take on an old classic.) ![]() ![]() ![]() 『Presented by Wes Craven, "Dracula 2000" is, as its name implies, a re-telling of the Dracula legend for a modern, new millennium audience. Whether it was needed or not, the film attempts to update an old tale with a hip and trendy cast, a heavy metal soundtrack, and a visual flare that resembles the so-called music video/MTV aesthetic of the time. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. From the cast to the script and the overall tone of the film everything in this adaptation reeks of "Scream"-era horror, which should come as no surprise given Craven's involvement and the fact that the film's first-time director, Patrick Lussier, spent the better part of his career working under Craven's shadow as an editor on the "Scream" franchise and many similar films. Thankfully, Lussier (who went on to direct two direct-to-video sequels to the film, as well as the recent "My Bloody Valentine" remake) learned the ropes rather well during his time under Craven. The film has undeniable style and even at times when it tries to be dark and serious (a goal that this film doesn't quite reach), is enjoyable and harmless. Its action scenes are somewhat derivative of "The Matrix" and other films of the time, but are a blast, never-the-less, and help amp up the enjoyable camp factor of the film. While the film isn't necessarily bad (or subsequently, good), its biggest flaw is that its script is rather contrived and convoluted. Again, the question is raised of whether or not the film is needed, and unfortunately, the dim storyline at hand doesn't do much to justify its existence. On the acting end, Gerard Butler is a solid casting choice as Dracula himself, and goes a long way to make the film what it is. Then there's Christopher Plummer, adding a touch of class to his role as a descendant of Van Helsing. The likes of Jennifer Esposito, Omar Epps, Sean Patrick Thomas, Danny Masterson, Jeri Ryan and Vitamin C (remember her?) show up and do okay, but like many horror flicks of the time that sport a "hot" cast, are in turn, disposable and forgettable for the most part. Thankfully, Johnny Lee Miller and Justine Waddell are likable enough as the main protagonists and help keep you from cheering for Butler's Dracula too much. To be blunt, this film is purely and simply dumb fun. If you are willing to let your guard down and can appreciate a film that takes many liberties with its source material, you'll find that "Dracula 2000" has a lot of entertainment value. It's certainly not the best take on the material or even an effective horror movie in its own right, but aside from its problems and the fact that it almost immediately dated itself upon inception, it's at least an admirable and ambitious effort that recalls a time when horror - for better or for worse - wasn't as hardcore and unflinching as it is now.』 (Movie critics don't get what people like) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I thought this was an enjoyable vampire film! Sure there are some parts that could have been better, less cheesey. I wish they had went a bit more in depth in the backstory of who Dracula really is, for example. I thought the technical aspects of the film were wonderful; lighting, sets, etc. Please don't let the poor reviews keep you from watching this! The part when Dracula transforms from wrinkled old guy to a hunk with a six pack is worth the whole movie! Gerard Butler is smoking hot! Honestly, I do not understand why anyone would say no to him! I watched it on youtube because I wanted to see for myself if it was worth buying, and I have to say it is. I will order my copy now!』 (Best Dracula Movie Since The Monster Squad) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『Gerard Butler (300), Jonny Lee Miller (MANSFIELD PARK), Justine Waddell (also in MANSFIELD PARK), Omar Epps (HOUSE), Jennifer Esposito (TAXI), Sean Patrick Thomas (CRUEL INTENTIONS), Danny Masterson (THAT '70S SHOW), Lochlyn Munro (Freddy vs Jason, Scary Movie&Dead Man on Campus), Jeri Ryan (THE KID), Tig Fong (THE LADIES MAN), Colleen Fitzpatrick (LIAR LIAR), Nathan Fillion (SERENITY), Tony Munch (WITCHBLADE) and Christopher Plummer (THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS) star in Wes Craven and Patrick Lussier's DRACULA 2000. The main plot is Van Helsing (Christopher Plummer) and Simon Shepperd (Jonny Lee Miller) tracking down Dracula's (Gerard Butler) coffin which was robbed by a gang of hoodlums (Omar Epps, Jenniffer Esposito, Sean Patrick Thomas, Lochlyn Munro, Danny Masterson, Tony Munch and Tig Fong). Meanwhile, Van Helsing's daughter; Mary (Justine Waddell) is having nightmares about Dracula. THIS MOVIE FEATURES A PERFECT ALL STAR CAST, SCRIPT, DIRECTOR, PRODUCERS, WRITERS AND SETTINGS. I GIVE THIS MOVIE A 5 OUT OF 5 STAR RATING.』 (He can bite me anytime!) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『Best looking Dracula I've seen in a long time. Very much enjoyed the twist to the origins of Dracula. Totally makes sense once you see/hear it.』 『The master of modern horror, Wes Craven, presents a riveting adaptation of the chilling classic featuring Jennifer Esposito (SUMMER OF SAM), Omar Epps (IN TOO DEEP), Jonny Lee Miller (TRAINSPOTTING), Vitamin C (GET OVER IT), and Jeri Ryan (STAR TREK: VOYAGER). When a team of techno-savvy thieves breaks into a high-security vault, they don't discover priceless artwork ... they find a crypt that hasn't been opened for 100 years! Suddenly, the ancient terror of Dracula is unleashed in the chaotic 21st century. Free to follow his pursuits of seduction and power, Dracula's first destination is America and the exotic city of New Orleans, a place where he feels right at home. Not far behind, however, is a young vampire hunter (Miller) from London, determined to save a young woman (Justine Waddell) with whom Dracula shares his dark legacy!』 『As a director, Wes Craven has been able to infuse his horror movies with humor and some smart, often genuinely creepy, thrills, even on his lowest-budgeted films. As a producer of horror movies, well, his record has been spotty at best. Craven tapped his longtime editor Patrick Lussier to directDracula 2000, and the movie ends up with all the good and bad of "a Wes Craven production." A modern-day update of the Dracula legend, the script has some genuinely good ideas. Christopher Plummer (The Insider) takes a relatively juicy role as Van Helsing, owner of an antiques shop specializing in ancient weapons. He takes exception to how his namesake was portrayed in Bram Stoker's classic novel, which he's more than happy to tell his assistant (Jonny Lee Miller, "Sick Boy" fromTrainspotting) without telling him the whole story. When Omar Epps leads a band of high-tech criminals to break into Van Helsing's high security vault (thinking that with so much security there's got to be something extremely valuable in there), what they end up stealing is the body of Dracula, who of course awakens from his slumber. When the story shifts to New Orleans, where Van Helsing's estranged daughter is working for the local Virgin Megastore (here metaphor is replaced by product placement), Dracula is drawn to her. The undead start to multiply, and the vampire hunt resumes. Another excellent idea deals with a new origin to Dracula, flashing back to biblical times to explain his aversion to silver and crosses. But there is a downside. Under the inept direction of Lussier the movie is never scary, inspiring instead an occasional feeling of pity for the actors. Overall, this a vampire movie for the mind, not the heart.--Andy Spletzer』 『 Dracula 2000 > 『 Dracula 2000 > 『 Dracula II: Ascension > 『 Dracula II: Ascension > 『 Attila > 『 Attila > 『 Dracula 3 - Legacy > 『 Dracula 3 - Legacy > 『 One More Kiss > 『 One More Kiss > I wanted to buy It↑ タイトル『 Frailty > 『 Frailty > 『 Henry - Portrait of a Serial Killer (20th Anniversary) > 『 Henry - Portrait of a Serial Killer (20th Anniversary) > 『 Identity > 『 Identity > 『 Bug (Special Edition) > 『 Bug (Special Edition) > 『 Ginger Snaps > 『 Ginger Snaps > 『 Maniac >

I am shocked by some of the negative reviews I have read on this movie. Some people take it way to seriously. Bill Paxton wasn't out to make a movie that encourages murder or says that atheist are evil demons that christians should kill. You people are stupid and lame. The movie is meant to psych you out and give you a bit of a twist at the end. It acts as if it is telling the story from the older brother's point of view, and makes you think that this boy is growing up in a crazy home with a crazy father, and the result of it is that his younger brother has become a serial killer. The movie has some twist that make it more interesting. Im sorry some of you people are too lame to see the greatness of the movie.』 (WHY WAS POWERS BOOTHE A BAD GUY??) ![]() ![]() ![]() 『FIRST OF ALL THE MOVIE WAS GREAT, BUT THE LAST TEN OR SO MINUTES SUCKED...HOW IS IT THAT A COP THAT HAS A PICTURE OF HIS MOTHER ON HIS DESK MEAN HE KILLED HER??, I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY HAD TO DO THAT, THAT KILL THE MOVIE. WOULD IT HAVE BEEN BETTER IF THE COP (GOOD GUY AND NOT A MOTHER KILLER) FOUND OUT WHO THIS JERK WAS AND KICK HIS FAIRY [...]??, OR PUT A BULLET IN HIS HEAD AND BE DONE WITH IT??. SORRY...DOE'S THAT SOUND LIKE SOMETHING DOLPH LUNDGREN OR CLINT EASTWOOD WOULD DO?? WHO CARES...GOD WOULDN'T WORK LIKE THAT ANYWAY.』 (Fantastic Film) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I believe that this is the directorial debut of Bill Paxton, and if it is, wow. This is one of those films that did not get a wide Theatrical release that may have slipped through the cracks. It is the story of a father and his two sons, and the fathers revelation that God has tapped them to kill demons that walk among us, to be God's hand. While one son assumes that his father has gone crazy, the other believes in him without question. After the kids have grown up, one of them decides to follow in their fathers footsteps and kill demons (who look like normal people) while the other eventually decides to turn in his brother for being the God's hand killer. The movie is told in a narrative by Fenton Meiks (Matt McConaughey) as he is convincing an FBI agent that his brother is the murderer. This is a well written, suspenseful film that tears at you, and is wonderfully crafted. About the DVD: This one is chock full of extras, including the trailer, the making of, scenes, a documentary from the Sundance channel, and three different commentaries. An absolute goldmine of information. Even without these features, the film would still rate a five. T 』 (GREAT MOVIE! Wow) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I saw a brief portion of this movie one Saturday afternoon I believe on USA, but I could not watch it all. It held my interest enough for me to look for it; and since I was placing a order with amazon I through it is to qualify for the free shipping. It took a while for my order to arrive, so when it did arrive I was not able to watch right away...in fact I had lost interest. Anyway, I finally had some to watch and WOW am I happy I ordered this film...incredible! Better without commericals great script for a sort of horror flick (I hate horror films always stupid scripts)happliy this was more of a mystery about a serial killer...anyway well worth it...I will watch this one again SOON!』 (Frailty) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I first saw this movie on USA and was great (and you know that they edit movies on regular cable) so I knew that when I saw it on dvd that it was going to be great, and it was!!! Its about a family (father and 2 sons) whose world is turned upside down when the father starts to have visions about devils and demons. He says that he has a gift from god that allows him to see these demons and with the help of his sons he's able to kill the demons. This movie is great and if you are into horror/mystery/suspence* movies I recommend* you get this one.』 『YEARS AFTER TERRORIZING A SMALL TEXAS COMMUNITY, THE GOD'S HAND KILLER HAS RETURNED, LEAVING IN HIS WAKE A PERPLEXING TRAIL OF FEAR AND DEATH. CONVINCED THAT HE KNOWS THE KILLER'S IDENTITY, FENTON MEIKS SHOWS UP AT FBI HEADQUARTERS, INTENT ON PUTTING AN END TO THE MURDEROUS RAMPAGE AND RELIEVING HIS CONSCIENCE.』 『Steeped in gloomy atmosphere,Frailtylocates its horror in the tyranny of religious fanaticism. Making an assured directorial debut, actor Bill Paxton costars as a Texas widower who believes God has recruited him to destroy demons in human form. Feeling divinely justified in committing a series of ax murders (discreetly unseen), he urges his two young sons to assist him in the killings--a living nightmare recalled in flashback by one of the now-adult sons (Matthew McConaughey) to the FBI agent (Powers Boothe) who's investigating the murders. But mystery is of secondary importance in Brent Hanley's cleverly twisting screenplay;Frailtysuggests, with unsettling subtlety, that Paxton's mission may not be delusional, thus burdening his deadly wrath with spiritually disturbing significance. It's definitely not a feel-good film, but with celebrity endorsements by Stephen King and directors James Cameron and Sam Raimi (who both made films with Paxton),Frailtygets under the skin with insidious efficiency.--Jeff Shannon』 『 Frailty > 『 Frailty > 『 Henry - Portrait of a Serial Killer (20th Anniversary) > 『 Henry - Portrait of a Serial Killer (20th Anniversary) > 『 Identity > 『 Identity > 『 Bug (Special Edition) > 『 Bug (Special Edition) > 『 Ginger Snaps > 『 Ginger Snaps > I wanted to buy It↑ タイトル『 The Ed Wood Box (Glen or Glenda / Jail Bait / Bride of the Monster / Plan 9 from Outer Space / Night of the Ghouls / The Haunted World of Ed Wood) > 『 The Ed Wood Box (Glen or Glenda / Jail Bait / Bride of the Monster / Plan 9 from Outer Space / Night of the Ghouls / The Haunted World of Ed Wood) > 『 Ed Wood (Special Edition) > 『 Ed Wood (Special Edition) > 『 Orgy of the Dead > 『 Orgy of the Dead > 『 Nightmare of Ecstasy: The Life and Art of Edward D.

>,Edward D. Wood Jr.price: Image Entertainment Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (no captions or subtitles) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I bought this box set from Amazon.com. Despite the "Product Details" section stating that this DVD set is closed-captioned, there are no captions or subtitles. Other hearing-impaired viewers need to decide for themselves, before purchasing, how important or not this feature is. Having said that, I've so far watched "Plan 9 From Outer Space" (missing bits of dialogue) and got quite a laugh out of it. This movie is a bungled execution of a rather bizzare story - aliens bringing Earth's dead back to life to prevent an even more scientifically implausible event in the distant future. Effeminate aliens, cheap special effects, continuity problems, cemetery grave stones made of cardboard, vampire characters in a movie that really isn't about vampires - the list goes on. And just how did Criswell (narrator who opens the movie) get his hair like that???』 (Bride of the Bits and Bytes) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『In my estimation, part of the general concern about the shift from physical media to digital is the well-founded fear that some of cinema's greatest "treasures" will not be given the time, effort and expense necessary to convert them. What I'm suggesting is that things like B-movies, which we enjoy because they're so terrible, might get short-shrift. Fortunately it appears that Amazon is willing to support our beloved "classics," as evidenced by the inclusion of Bride of the Monster in their digital catalog. This, of course, is one of Ed Wood's legendary stinkers, featuring the dynamic duo from the infamous Plan 9 From Outer Space, the oversized Swede Johnson and a fortunately still-living-at-the-time Lugosi. As far as B-movies go, anything with Johnson's lumbering frame in it is an instant classic, and special touches like Lugosi's tangle with a rubber octopus are just icing on the cake. As you may be able to tell from the preview video, this version of Bride of the Monster has been digitally re-touched and colorized, ensuring that the quality of presentation is suitable to viewing on a high-resolution computer monitor.』 (VERY, VERY, VERY BAD) ![]() 『I really tried to enjoy these movies. I tried to get scared in scary moments or laugh in funny moments, or vise versa. Everyone says that they watch Ed Wood's movies because they are so bad to the point where they're funny, but I really can't seem to find anything funny about them. THEY ARE JUST BAD!!!! I really feel sorry for all the hours of my life that have gone to waste, and all the brain cells that i have killed. So, i guess the only thing that i can do about that is warn people. PLEASE, I BEG YOU DON'T WATCH MORE THAN ONE OF THESE MOVIES. YOU'LL KNOW WHY AFTER WATCHING THAT SINGLE ONE.』 (Great set for Ed Wood fans!) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『If you are here, You know what the movies are about, so I won't bore you with descriptions. However, I will give a brief review of the V/A quality of the discs. I recently purchased this set and was amazed on how good these films looked. I was expecting some grainy, 16mm style transfers, but was surprised to see them in superb quality! A great job by Image. The audio is pretty clear, but don't expect much considering the low budget nature of these films. Plan 9 and Haunted World dvds contain some excellent extra features while the other discs contain a theatrical trailer of each film. Also, the Haunted World disc also features Ed Wood's first film "Crossroads at Laredo"!! Considering the cheap price, I highly recommend this to E.W. fans and even those curious (after seeing Tim Burton's excellent ED WOOD film).』 (IN A NUTSHELL! GREAT SET! LONG LIVE BELA AND ED!) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『"This is an excellent box set and you get all of Ed Wood's films. The king of cheapy creepy's for sure. A must have for any cheese lover!" The box set features "Plan 9 From Outer Space" "An Ed Wood Classic! The film features Bela Lugosi in his final role, but for those of us who love Bela it's nice to see him go out wearing his Dracula's cape. Bela died before the film was finished and Wood's dentist?(who is at least a foot taller than Bela,keeping his face covered by the dracula cape in every scene)had to step in to complete the scenes." The whole box set is a gas!』 『Weird! Wild! Wood! The most legendary B-movie director of all time, Edward D. Wood, Jr. assaulted audiences worldwide with a string of bizarre, no-budget fusions of horror, science fiction, noir and comedy. Now his oddball legacy is finally collected in one indispensable box set! Feast your eyes on his first feature, the madcap Glen or Glenda? in which Eddie himself portrays a transvestite struggling with his addiction to angora while Bela Lugosi offers inscrutable narration. Blackmail, outlaws on the run, and plastic surgery collide in the surreal crime drama Jail Bait, featuring a young Steve Reeves (Hercules), while Bela returns to create the Bride of the Monster in a heady collision of atomic experiments, a rampaging octopus and clumsy assistant Lobo (played by wrestler Tor Johnson). Wood's indisputable disasterpiece, Plan 9 from Outer Space, offers pie-plate flying saucers, incompetent alien leaders, all-seeing psychic Criswell, goth favorite Vampira and a post-mortem appearance by Lugosi himself in his last film role. Then Lobo and a phony spiritualist usher in a Night of the Ghouls at a spooky marsh filled with shuffling undead and wailing ghosts. Finally, learn all about the man himself with The Haunted World of Ed Wood, a comprehensive disc packed with interviews, film clips, TV rarities and much more!

Filmed in delicious black&white, ever so proper British archeologists are complaining all they found was this mummy (Imhotep) who reclined relaxedly (and dead) in the background. When the inevitable assistant opens the little box with a curse on it, all sand breaks loose! Ten years later, we learn that Imhotep has acclimated to Cairo society and is still searching for his timeless love, Princess Anck-es-en-Amon of the 18th Dynasty (there's a quiz after this review, OK??). Lots of similarities to Dracula, Universal's earlier horror film, mainly because the scriptwriter who collaborated on Dracula also did the same with The Mummy: talismans (cross&amulets), hypnotic power (vampires and mummies can do both) and other such supernatural thrillers. And the actor who played Van Helsing in Dracula also appears as an Egyptian occult expert, Dr. Muller, in this film (Edward Van Sloan). This rented disc is part of the incredible Universal collection and I highly recommend you pick this up. The disc I had included "Mummy Dearest", an excellent portrayal of the Mummy pictures over the years, the incredibly poor sequels and the inevitable fate of all Universal monsters: a meeting with Abbott&Costello! The flashback sequence was very well-made: the mists of time part as we stare into the pool that transcends time and space. It played like a silent film, haunting music and suspense. Incredible music! We learn that the film originally had many other scenes of our leading lady being reincarnated at different historical periods: Vikings, Crusades, and so on. But they cut all that out to make the picture go at a quicker pace: smart move in my opinion. I pray to Osiris that you pick this DVD up soon! Others to Pick Up Today! Boris Karloff: A Gentleman's Life The Boris Karloff Collection (Tower of London / The Black Castle / The Climax / The Strange Door / Night Key) The Bela Lugosi Collection (Murders in the Rue Morgue / The Black Cat / The Raven / The Invisible Ray / Black Friday)』 (Uncanny?....Hell yes!!!) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『Karloff the Uncanny lives up to his name with this bone chilling portrayal. He is absolutely superb, and the wonderful supporting cast makes this gem a must-see. The modern remake can't compare. Buy it!!!!』 ("No man ever suffered as I did for you"--Imhotep to Princess Ankh-es-en-amon) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I liked the Universal Legacy edition of "Dracula" so much, I got the same issue of "The Mummy" as well. The packaging on my copy is slightly improved with the DVD content info printed on the back cover rather than on a sheet glued to the cover. Although I am still impressed by all the extras on this edition, the extras are not as good as the ones on "Dracula," so I am dropping a star. The two films are actually quite similar. From the identical opening music to the almost parallel storyline. Edward Van Sloan and David Manners are in both films and play the same type of roles (Manners playing the romantic love interest who falls for the woman who is under the spell of the "monster" and Van Sloan as the professor who observes and understands what is going on and confronts the "monster"). One difference in "The Mummy" is that, though Dracula is evil on all accounts, Imhotep is a rather sentimental figure. He is a murderer, but his brutality is a means to reuniting with the woman for whom he sacrificed his life 1,000s of years earlier. He was just a mummy in love (Karloff, in his scenes with Zita Johann, definitely plays the role as such). I will focus on the extras offered on this 2-DVD set, as most people who are interested in this release have already seen the film. Like with the "Dracula" issue, You can watch "The Mummy" with two different commentaries. The first commentary includes Rick Baker (makeup man), Scott Essman (horror film researcher), Steve Haberman (screenwriter, film historian), Bob Burns (film buff), and Brent Armstrong (sculptor). Baker speaks by himself in a separate commentary during the famous mummy awakening scene. He finds a lot of inconsistencies in the film and admits to not liking it much, although he is a fan of the makeup techniques used. The others talk together in a more conversational style. This group does not always follow the scenes. They talk about other films and heap praise on the players. I find it the most interesting when they discuss scenes and the film itself. Armstrong points out Imhotep's wrinkled face and theorizes that the intent was to show that the bandages had replaced his skin. Another thing I would not have noticed was the rear projection used in the cab scene. I thought the Universal horror films as a metaphor for the Great Depression idea was a bit stretching it, though. At the end of the commentary, they go off praising this and that. I found this commentary interesting but, with all the people involved, it could have been better. The second commentary is by film historian Paul M. Jensen. Like Steve Haberman's commentary for "Dracula," Jensen reads through prepared notes. Sometimes he's describing scenes and other times he is giving backgrounds of the players and crew. At one point, he describes Putnam's Cagliostro. He gives intriguing information on the discarded scenes. While I liked this commentary, neither ones on this set are as good as David Skal's on "Dracula." Also on the first disc are a collection of lobby cards and stills (including some from discarded scenes) and a trailer gallery of the many Mummy sequels. "Mummy Dearest: A Horror Tradition Unearthed" is a documentary on the making of the film. I like the photos of Karloff having his makeup applied. There is a lot of info on Zita Johann, who clashed with director Karl Freund, and her occultist beliefs. It compares the film to "Dracula" and talks about the other mummy films. It runs 30 minutes. On the second disc are three documentaries. The first is "He Who Made Monsters: The Life and Art of Jack Pierce." This documentary discusses Pierce's work on the films "Frakenstein," "The Mummy," "The Black Cat," "Bride of Frakenstein," "Son of Frakenstein," and "The Wolf Man." I found it very interesting how Frakenstein evolved through the films and the revelation on how one side of his face caved in. I wished they discussed Pierce's techniques for "The Man Who Laughs." I've wondered how they kept Conrad Veidt's mouth curled up. It looks very painful. The documentary concludes with the sad way Pierce was let go from Universal, how he lived the rest of his life in relative obscurity, and his legacy. It is 25 minutes long. "Unraveling the Legacy of the Mummy" is a bunch of action scenes from the Brendan Fraser films with interview clips from the cast and crew (8 minutes). "Universal Horror" is the same documentary that was on the "Dracula" DVD set (probably on "Frakenstein," too). It is excellent, though. The rather lengthy documentary covers many of the scary films put out by Universal in the 1920s and 1930s and includes freaky scenes from such films as "The Phantom of the Opera," "The Man Who Laughs," "The Black Cat," etc. I liked the inclusion of scenes from early silents. It also reveals secrets to special effects found in "King Kong," "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," and "The Invisible Man." Film historians who were kids back in the day talk about what these films meant to them and the reactions of audiences at the time. Bela Lugosi Jr. talks about his famous father in several clips in this documentary. I've seen it three times and will probably watch it again.』 (Long Live the Walking Dead) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『The Mummy is one hour and thirteen minutes long and was released on December 22, 1932. The Boris Karloff's mummy is seen only on screen for about eight minutes and only about a minute of him coming alive and stealing the sacred scroll. The rest of the movie he is Ardath Bey; Imhotep brought back to life. Imhotep\Ardath Bey helps some archaeologists find the burial site of Princess Ankh-es-en-amon. His real intentions are to bring the Princess Ankh-es-en-amon back to life so they can be together forever. Princess Ankh-es-en-amon has taken the soul of Helen Grosvenor. So throughout the movie he is trying to bring Helen Grosvenor to the museum and change her into his Princess Ankh-es-en-amon. The movie flows along well into you get to about five minutes to the end and turns almost south. They could have done a better ending. The Mummy relies on suspense since the horror is minimal at best. Still this deserves an A-.』 (A rousing good tale told in creepy style) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『Ah, "The Mummy" on Halloween night! What could be better? My brother and I, now aging boomers, were allowed as children the special treat to stay up on Friday nights to watch Horror Theater (or whatever it was called) and scare ourselves silly. This was in the late '50's. "The Mummy" was a favorite, so when I found this VHS tape in the library, I took it home for Halloween. After a couple of hours of Trick or Treating, the three children were ready to go home. We put on the movie, expecting magic to revisit. Their grandfather (my brother) and I expected to pass on a tradition. We really thought the nine-year-old boy would delight in the movie. He loves things like this. However, it was too slow for him--he fell asleep soon into the movie, as did the other two children. That left my brother and me to stroll down Memory Lane with the Mummmy! It wasn't the same story we both remembered. We had the notion of lots of wrappings with the mummy walking all over the place with arms outstretched and killing people. Another reviewer said this wasn't "The Mummy" he saw either. Probably a sequel. Let's return to the reality of the story. We discovered how faulty our memories are. However, the film did surprise us with what was there. In the 1920's when the discovery of the Tutankhamun tomb was the rage, three other English archaeologists were certain to make a find. Indeed, they did--an ancient sarcophagus with a box attached: Do not open this coffin upon threat of death. Two are wise enough to discuss it. The third cannot control his eagerness and opens it. In a few minutes the mummy is mysteriously wrought to life, and sidles out the door. The archaeologist witnesses this and goes stark raving insane. A chilling scene. The viewer sees only a piece of wrapping sliding out of sight--the only view we get of a newly awakened corpse. Then the hysterical laughing. Everything is always just out of sight. A suggestion of evil. A suggestion of terror. A scream. The mummy comes back as an Egyptian attached somehow to the museum. It's Boris Karlof in a dark role. Why no one was not creeped out by his persona is beyond me. Bring in the the son of one of the original three archaeologists and the daughter of the museum director and you have a triangle about to happen. Karlof's mummy/man believes she is the reincarnation of his beloved temple virgin from back in the day. He is determined to take her back and almost succeeds. Today's filming shows all and then some. Old films like this tell the story with suggestion, little nuances, creating creepy atmosphere and mood. As I watched, I slipped in and out of sleep. In one dream sequence I was in the movie, going down one of the underground passages. Only in my dream I rounded the bend to see what veiwers could hear. Black-clad, wispy creatures were stirring around a walking, stalking mummy. I fell on the rocks, they turned toward me. Of course, I awoke, further creeped out. A successful movie-- "The Mummy"--even now!』 『Boris Karloff's legendary performance has become a landmark in the annals of screen history. As the mummy, Im-Ho-Tep, he is accidentally revived after 3,700 years by a team of British archaeologists. It is revealed in a flashback that he was a high priest, embalmed alive for trying to revive the vestal virgin whom he loved, after she had been sacrificed. Alive again, he sets out to find his lost love. Today, over 50 years after The Mummy was first released, this brooding dream-like film remains a masterpiece not only of the genre, but for all time.』 『You have to hand it to the walking dead. What they lack in speed and agility, they more than make up for in sheer single-minded determination. Im-Ho-Tep is a case in point. He's an ancient Egyptian priest, cursed for his terrible crimes against the gods. A team of British archaeologists digs up his sarcophagus, along with a box inscribed with a warning that opening it will unleash death and destruction. You'll never guess what they do. Once freed, Im-Ho-Tep takes on the appropriately evil alias Ardath Bey and gets to the task of resurrecting his ancient lover--which will, of course, require a living human surrogate. While the premise may sound formulaic,The Mummyin fact turns out to be bracingly weird, relying on atmospheric creepiness rather than on jump-out-and-scare-you effects. Boris Karloff gives a terrific performance as Im-Ho-Tep. He has all the malevolence the film requires, but also manages subtler touches; the expression in his eyes as he is wrapped in preparation for being buried alive is absolutely chilling. Instead of forcing him to do all the tedious shambling around that so many mummies resort to, the filmmakers have wisely given Im-Ho-Tep/Ardath Bey a nearly living appearance once he's cleaned up and has a few psychic powers to boot, making him a potent adversary. Stock up on ace bandages and prepare for a good spooky evening.--Ali Davis』 『 The Mummy > 『 The Mummy > 『 The Wolf Man (Universal Studios Classic Monster Collection) > 『 The Wolf Man (Universal Studios Classic Monster Collection) > 『 Dracula (Universal Studios Classic Monster Collection) > 『 Dracula (Universal Studios Classic Monster Collection) > 『 Frankenstein (Universal Studios Classic Monster Collection) > 『 Frankenstein (Universal Studios Classic Monster Collection) > 『 The Invisible Man > 『 The Invisible Man > I wanted to buy It↑ タイトル『 Oldboy > 『 Oldboy > 『 Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance > 『 Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance > 『 Lady Vengeance > 『 Lady Vengeance > 『 Battle Royale: Director's Cut (Collector's Edition) > 『 Battle Royale: Director's Cut (Collector's Edition) > 『 Ichi the Killer (Unrated Edition) > 『 Ichi the Killer (Unrated Edition) > 『 Audition >
>,Min-sik Choi,Ji-tae Yu,Hye-jeong Kang,Dae-han Ji,Dal-su Ohprice: Tartan Video Usually ships in 1 to 4 weeks Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (This movie was bad on so many levels.) ![]() 『I had heard about Oldboy before. IMDB has a very high rating for it, as does RottenTomatoes. It's got revenge. It's got violence. It received a thumbs-up from Quentin Tarantino. Everything seemed to be pointing in a positive direction for Oldboy ... until I actually saw it. This was one of those rare movies that started out at 5 stars - I really liked the premise of the 15 year imprisonment and subsequent release - but then everything derailed about 20 minutes into the movie. It's a repulsive film, about repulsive topics, populated by repulsive characters. There's just not much to like. Here's a quick tip for budding omniscient billionaires who are out for revenge: If your evil plot is so convoluted and so drawn-out that the person you're targeting has to be hypnotized into REMEMBERING WHAT THEY DID TO YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE, then maybe it's time to go back to the drawing board. ** SPOILERS BELOW ** On one side of the equation you have Omniscient Billionaire who: - murdered wife - framed husband for that murder - imprisoned husband for 15 years - used Evil Hypnotist (tm) to re-program father and daughter - forced father and daughter into having sex On the other side you have: - guy who started a rumor that brother and sister were having sex. Which wasn't so much a rumor as it was the truth. I'm not sure what lesson Oldboy is trying to teach us, but it was lost on me. There were just so many stupid parts to this movie. My personal favorite is when Oldboy leaves Mi-do in the care of a gangster that had his hand chopped off by Omniscient Billionaire. In the culminating 'This is why I've been torturing you for 15 years' scene, Mr. Billionaire smugly tells us, "Did you really think (gangster) would betray me? You stupid fool! I gave him an apartment so he would let me cut off his hand! Bwa-ha-ha-ha!!" Yeah. Right. Like anyone in their right mind would see that coming. I will give the movie this, however. It's not the type of film that you will watch and then forget. Sadly, some of those scenes will be burned into my brain for quite some time. Thanks a lot, Oldboy.』 (Hard to swallow) ![]() ![]() ![]() 『15 years' imprisonment, followed by five days of vengeance. But there's a twist: Oh Dae-su has not escaped from prison, he was released. The reason is the film's mystery, and as he attempts to solve it, it becomes clearer that someone is one step ahead of him. Something of a spoiler follows, so stop now if you want to avoid it. It's not easy for me to figure out why I felt this film was a letdown. A lot of it I think has to do with the resolution. The tragedy seems neither justified in light of the characters and their actions nor adequately prepared in view of the what's on screen leading up to it. For three-quarters of the film we have something the look (apart from rough dentistry) and pace of which might fit Jason Statham (and I don't mean that as an insult). Then the last 20 minutes are supposed to hit us with the force of Greek tragedy -- all engineered, moreover, by the bad guy, and implausibly so. On the whole it is unconvincing. Not something I regret seeing, because it's different from what's made available at the multiplex. But it won't be going on any list of favorites either.』 (Best movie ever!!) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『This movies is the best revenge movie ever. And the person that shipped it did a very good and quick job.』 (Boring&Badly Acted) ![]() 『I was bored out of my mind when I watched this film. The "cinematic" quality is there, in terms of effects and editing, but the plot was poorly adapted and made it come off like it was from a badly-written comic book. I just found the whole thing contrived, implausible, and dry. There's very little done, wether in the directing, or the screenplay, to make you care about the far-fetched plot.』 (Oldboy Review) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『Straight to the point: I loved this movie. I recommend it to everyone. It has an English language track for the film and English subtitles for all the special features including director commentary. People should not expect elaborate improbable martial arts scenes, choreographed gun fights, excessive gore, explosions, car chases, and an expected ending. Do expect plot twists, character development, great visuals, brutality, violence, moral dilemmas, great acting, and psychological drama. This is a violent revenge movie, but doesn't follow the main stream revenge movie plot. The message of the movie is that revenge never satisfies anyone. This seems to be the message of all the few Asian revenge themed movies I've seen. So, don't watch it if you are not a fan of these type of Asian movies. What made me want to see Oldboy: I first bought Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. I then discovered that Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance was the first in vengeance trilogy movies by director Park Chanwook. With Oldboy being the second and Lady Vengeance being the third. I loved Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. It was the first Asian drama movie I saw that wasn't about martial arts experts, renegade cops, rival gangs, crime drama, or not starring your typical action anti-hero that goes around crashing cars into helicopters. Like Oldboy, that movie had violence committed by real people in realistic ways. In the preview trailer for Oldboy, I saw that it had more stylized violence, but not the over the top unrealistic fights or over kill gun fights of other Asian action movies. I won't give away the movie, but I will tell you what about the Oldboy trailer made me watch it. Basic plot as told by Oldboy trailer: A man is for apparently no reason, kidnapped, locked up for 15 years in isolation, and then released. The man then has 5 days to find out why this happened to him and who did it. To me and most people Oldboy would seem like the movie is only about the locked up man's quest for revenge. This might be considered a spoilers: The truth is that the kidnapping, locking up for 15 years, and then releasing of seemingly normal man is actually part of another man's own masterminded revenge plot against the man seeking revenge on him. Bad plot point in Oldboy: Half way through the movie some viewers, like myself, after finding out why the 'bad guy' wants revenge on the 'good guy' he locked up, might figure out what the villain's revenge on the hero is going be. But, knowing this didn't prepare me for how the true revenge was handled at the end. DVD Extras: All deleted scenes were great with great subtitled commentary from the director. The director interview gave informative insight on the director's view on his movies. The film's subtitled audio commentary from the film's director and cinematographer is very disappointing. I could only tolerate watching about 20 minutes of the commentary. The two mostly spoke about the lighting, camera work, locations, and the entire production side of the movie. They didn't speak at all about the creative side of the movie. They spoke very little about the acting. The director didn't give any insight on his message or the meaning behind the scenes being shown. For example, a scene has a man freaking out because he thinks he's covered in ants, they comment on what it took to film the scene. I stopped watching after 20 minutes of them talking about green lighting and film bleaching.』 『Oh Dae-su is an ordinary Seoul businessman with a wife and little daughter who, after a drunken night on the town, is abducted and locked up in a strange, private prison. No one will tell him why hes there and who his jailer is and his fury builds to a single-minded focus of revenge. 15 years later, he is unexpectedly freed, given a new suit, a cell-phone and 5 days to discover the mysterious enemy who had him imprisoned. Seeking vengeance on all those involved, he soon finds that his enemys tortures are just beginning.』 『In the realm of revenge thrillers, you'd be hard pressed to find more ultra-violent vengeance and psycho thrills than in the creepy story ofOldboy. This Korean import made a pop splash at the Cannes Film Festival and during its limited theatrical run thanks to the imprimatur of Quentin Tarantino, who raved about it and its visionary director, Chan-wook Park, to anyone who would listen. It's easy to see why QT fell in love with the grindhouse attitude, fast-paced action, violent imagery, and icy-black humor, but it's a disservice to think ofOldboyas another Tarantino homage or knockoff. The darkly existential undercurrent in the themes thatOldboytraces over its life-long narrative arc is much more complex and deeply disturbing than anything of its kind. The movie's tagline is, "15 years of imprisonment... 5 days of vengeance." The imprisonee is Oh Dae-Su, an ordinary Joe who is snatched off a Seoul street corner and locked away in a dank, windowless fleabag hotel room for the aforementioned 15 years. Just as abruptly he is released, and thus the five days begin. Why did this happen to Oh Dae-Su? Ah, but that would be telling, and in fact we don't know ourselves until the final wrenching scenes. Oldboybreaks into a classic three-act saga, the first of which details the hallucinatory period of imprisonment in which Oh Dae-Su wades from mild insanity to outright psychosis in the hands of unseen yet attentive captors. Act 2 is the revenge, when an entirely different tone takes over and Oh Dae-Su moves with single-minded purpose and clarity. It's this section that has gained the most notoriety, primarily for the claw-hammer dentistry scene, the one-man-army tracking shot, and the wriggling octopus that Oh Dae-Su consumes in a sushi bar (he's been dead so long he simply needs life back inside him in any way possible). In act 3, answers finally start to emerge and the sinister atmosphere grows even more profound--not without a healthy dose of extra bloodletting, of course.Oldboyis an undeniably poetic masterpiece of tension, fury, and dynamic craft. Ultimately, its epic cycle of tragedy is of the sort that mankind has been inflicting upon itself for all time. Some of the images may be gruesome, but all converge into a kind of beauty. It's in the telling of this lurid tale that these details become one and the memories of pain ultimately heal.--Ted Fry』 『 Oldboy > 『 Oldboy > 『 Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance > 『 Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance > 『 Lady Vengeance > 『 Lady Vengeance > 『 Battle Royale: Director's Cut (Collector's Edition) > 『 Battle Royale: Director's Cut (Collector's Edition) > 『 Ichi the Killer (Unrated Edition) > 『 Ichi the Killer (Unrated Edition) > I wanted to buy It↑ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 >> |
