When I see you smiling I go, Oh, Oh, Oh...
26 April 2005
I have been following the series for a short time, and I quite enjoy it. So I took the time to watch this movie, and it's a piece of greatness!

Hilary Duff is back as Lizzie Mcguire, and so is Adam Lamberg as her sidekick, Gordo... What? Where is Lalaine? Miranda? Where are you now? Well it seems like she's not in the film, but hey, it's still watchable for all you fans out there. I didn't even notice her absence really... Some of the old cast members are back, noticeably Ethan and Kate, and of course the rest of Lizzie's family.

The film takes place after Lizzie's graduation. Her and other fellow class mates take a trip to Rome (The Eternal City). Lizzie seems to have an incredible physical similarity to famous pop-star, Isabella, and from there, a famous Italian pop-star, Paolo, gives her the time of her life. There is great music, great scenery and the film is full of emotion and life, which makes it an amazing film of excellentness!

Who would've thought they could make something this magical from a small Disney TV-Series called "Lizzie McGuire"? It's an 'Excellent Adventure' and an amazing experience. It's fun for everyone! Where is the sequel, 'Lizzie & Gordo's Excellent Adventure'??

Memento (2000)
10/10
You will never forget the memories Lenny forgot
23 August 2002
This film is an inspiration to screenwriting and movie making. Definitely a great among greats. This film is unforgettable. It's a masterpiece!

An original idea, an amazing film. This film goes beyond any Drama or Crime Thriller story. It's about a man, Lenny. He's got a short-term memory condition. The film is well edited in the way you follow the story with more meaning to it. The film is presented backwards. It truly fits the story, great overall cinematography. Lenny's life is pretty much twisted, as his memory is weak and he has to depend on his notes and tattoos. It's hard to talk about this film with detail, as it will spoil the film. It must be seen.

One of the best written films ever. I reckon it by far deserves Oscar nominations on more aspects. The acting was well done, and every other aspect in editing was excellent. Memento should have deserved a Best Picture nomination. I don't know why it didn't. It only got 2 nominations, when it well deserved more. I don't get how the Academy Awards is run. See how good 'The Good, The Bad & The Ugly' is, it was nominated nothing!

This film must be seen by everyone. It's not just a film, it goes beyond any normal film and any great film. This is an inspiration. It is the best Drama/ Thriller/ Crime/ Mystery film I have ever seen. This rates in my book as being the greatest film ever made alongside with 'The Good, The Bad & The Ugly'. Highly Recommended!

(Similar) Recommend/ Recommended if you liked: *Dark City (1998)

Recommend other great films: *The Good, The Bad & The Ugly (1966) *The Matrix (1999)

Awesomeness!!!!!!
23 August 2002
I love this film. It's a great Action/ Adventure/ Thriller film. It's a thrill to watch. It's a rush hour thill ride!

I love this film. The first time I saw it was like a month ago. I had a free DVD hire, and a friend recommended this to me, because I love Speed. I rented out the 3 day DVD and didn't watch it the first two nights, frankly because I wasn't really up to watching this film. It's mostly because the IMDB rating and bad reviews. On the last night I had it, I popped it in. It was real good, until it went from good, to amazingly awesome. It looked so good on the DVD, perfect widescreen, the nice scenes, it was excellent.

This is one of my favorite action films. I liked the story, the characters and everything else. The music was still awesome, sometimes even sounded better than the first. Great cast. Sandra Bullock still looking good.

I would rate this high up in the action film genre. I found it fun and entertaining to the max! I would definitely watch it again and buy it on DVD. It's awesome! I can't believe it's got such a low rating around 3 out of 10 on IMDB. I give it a solid 10!

Dark City (1998)
10/10
Outstanding Masterpiece!
5 August 2002
An outstanding, fast paced, visual masterpiece. This film is amazing. One of the most original Sci-Fi films ever made. This is set in a Gotham-like city, in a made up world, in an unknown time frame. The film explores a man, John Murdoch who doesn't know what's happening to him and the world around him. The story unfolds and makes more sense to him during the process of the film. Once you start the film, you'll never stop. This is one of those great films about the loss and confusion of memory like Total Recall and Memento. But this is more fantasized, creating it more different, and original. The music never stops! It's a great well-made story with excellent characters which makes this film ground breaking. One of the most technical, original films executed. What I don't understand is how this isn't in the IMDB Top 250. I know this film didn't do good in the box office, but that means nothing now, because the film is so amazing. It deserves to be seen by anyone who is anyone, weather you love films, study films or just want to see something for fun. It's a perfect 10!

Malcolm in the Middle (2000–2006)
10/10
Funny as show!
6 January 2002
What a crack up! I laugh every time I see this. Malcolm's dad Hal is the funniest guy in the series, giving bad examples to his kids like the little guy. Reese likes to kick ass and kicks the geeks ass, Malcolm is the kid that talks real fast and brainy, but inside he's a bad ass kid. Their mother gets angry at every chance she has at everyone, and likes to punish her kids for doing wrong, as their kids are always bad to the bone. Can anyone blame how crazy the family is? Just watch it and see how funny a family can be!

FUNNY AS MOVIE! 'I'm a cop you idiot, I'm detective John Kimble'
6 January 2002
'I'm a cop you idiot, I'm detective John Kimble' Kindergarten Cop is one of the funniest films made, Arnold Schwarzenegger is a famous comedian, as he sad in Last Action Hero.

It starts off when this bad guy named Crisp, and Schwarzenegger with his kewl as gun. He finds a witness who he tries to take the truth out of her about the guy who killed her boyfriend. Crisp is the guy, as John Kimble (Arnold), knows. He comes with his massive gun and no one jerks him off: 'I love my car'.

Kible has to leave and go to Astoria on assignment to find Crisp's ex wife and son so he could find the so-called hidden '3 mill'. He finds his way through a kindergarten where he must teach the class and go undercover. Being horrible at it at first, he finds his way though trying to teach well. He gets angry and lets out his emotions at the bunch of kids who slack off and give him trouble: 'No more My Kimble I want to go to the bathroom. THER IS NO BATHROOM!' The kids learn to be like role models of the school.

Kimble later falls in love with Crisp's ex, and finds his way through hard situations, like telling the truth. Can he teach his way through the assignment? Or will he have to use his police brutality on the kids.

The Quest (1996)
9/10
Excellent!
15 December 2001
I am a Jean-Claude Van Damme Fan and have to say this is a 'Damme' good film. Doesn't the film remind you of 'Bloodsport'? Well this has a good story about Chris who wants to get the golden dragon and ends up in a tournament for the dragon. The fight scenes aren't that violent as most people would want to see. But it is an Epic, with a dramatic story. Roger Moore even acts in it gives a 'Bond' type entrance to his name. Overall this is a great film which shall not be missed by all fans. Van Damme is the man!

"I'm the nacho cheese man myself"
19 August 2001
One hell of a funny movie! This movie is so funny, and Hulk Hogan is a crack up. I love that scene where Burt tells the story of how he saved Sean, the music in that scene is so kool and it's funny. One of the funniest family movies out there. If you want laughs, watch this. 5/5

Replicant (2001)
10/10
The Best Van Damme Movie To Date!!!!
6 August 2001
Replicant is a movie that is so different from many movies, I've never seen a movie quite like this. Van Damme's acting is at his best. The movie felt so good watching it, this movie has great scenes that are very entertaining which makes this movie Van Damme's best since 'Timecop'. The movie is quite violent, and it has a nice setting. It's hard to explain how good this movie is, but I can say that I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! and it's my most favourite movie. 10/10*.

Lock Up (1989)
9/10
Awesome!!
20 May 2001
This is one of Stallone's best movies. Excellent story about Stallone in a prison. This movie shows what happens in prisons in very good detail. Stallone acted very good in this movie and is easily one of his best. I have to say this is one awesome movie with a solid plot. Highly Recommended for Stallone fans. I also recommend "Death Warrant", another prison movie but with Van Damme in it.

Futuristic Fun!
14 May 2001
Another Excellent Arnold movie. This futuristic movie has great action in it, and is one of Arnie's best movies. Arnold is framed as a bad guy in this movie and plays a Game of Death. This movie is excellent and a great Sci-Fi / action movie. I've always liked this movie and it has to be one of the greatest adventure movies of all time. 10 out of 10! PERFECTION

Legionnaire (1998)
9/10
Excellent Van Damme Flick
28 April 2001
A different style Van Damme movie, using no kicks or any fancy martial arts moves. JCVD plays a Legionnaire in this, as in 'Lionheart'. He has a boxing match in this movie, in the beginning. Well directed, and good story-line. It's another good Van Damme movie that's very enjoyable. Recommended for everyone.

Killer!!!!!!!!!
27 April 2001
This killed the whole Kickboxer series. I can't believe they said that David Sloan died in the beginning of the movie. Tong Po wasn't finished yet, because he ran away in part 4. The real Kickboxer Series Saga didn't end. If they made Kickboxer 5, it should have been about the Sloans again. I was so angry!!!! They shouldn't have called this Kickboxer 5. They just wanted Kickboxer fans too see it. If you are a Kickboxer fan, don't watch this one, it has nothing to do with the other Kickboxers. They should have called this movie something else. Why did they call it "Kickboxer 5". It's probably a good martial arts flick, but it shouldn't have been the sequel to the Sloan Saga.

Good Kickboxer!
27 April 2001
This isn't the best Kickboxer of the series (Kickboxer 2 is), and it isn't the worst Kickboxer of the series (Kickboxer 5 is). Kickboxer 3 had violence which wasn't just kickboxing. There was gun shooting in it which was pretty good (That was the difference between the other kickboxers). David Sloan had hard out training, but not as hard out as Kurt in Kickboxer 1. Tong Po should've been in this one because the villain in this ain't as mean and strong. This movie had more than fighting, it had other issues too. Overall this was an OK Kickboxer, DEFINITELY NOT AS GOOD AS KICKBOXER 2! and Kickboxer 1. But better than 5.

Total Recall (1990)
"See you at the party Richter"
17 February 2001
This is a great Sci-Fi movie. It had great violence and a little humour. Quaid was the man on Mars, He had the funny lines like "Consider that a divorce" and "See you at the party Richter". Lots of action on Mars and excellent special effects. Good Paul Verhoeven Film, Maybe not as good as "Robocop", but it's a great Sci-Fi Film. 10 out of 10.

One Of The Best!!!!!!
2 February 2001
This brings back memories from my childhood. I used to watch this movie when I was a little kid and I loved it. Johnny 5 is so kool and Ben is funny. This is a great movie for the family , especially for kids. Probably the best family movie out there and probably better than the first Short Circuit.

Freaks and Geeks (1999–2000)
10/10
One Of The Best Stuff on TV
29 January 2001
This show , "Freaks & Geeks" , is so good and it's just like real life. This show is realistic in some ways and it always has a funny side to it. I think "Freaks & Geeks" is funny and that's the reason why I watch this. I wish it was never cancelled and I wish there were more episodes. They should keep making more episodes because it is very kool. I think everyone should be watching this great TV programme. This is one of the best programmes I've ever seen.

Early Edition (1996–2000)

The Best!
25 January 2001
A very solid tv programme about a guy named Gary Hobson who gets tomorrow's newspaper today. I liked watching it every week , but now it doesn't come on anymore which is very disappointing and sad. I liked many episodes especially "Run Gary, Run" and "Time". It was a great tv show and I wish they made way more episodes. Probably the best thing that came on tv.

Excellent!!
20 January 2001
I've seen "Class Of 1984" , "Class Of 1999" and this one , which is much better. I thought this was way better than those other "Class of..." movies. This reminded me of "The Terminator" because of the cyborg and the music. Sasha Mitchell (star of Kickboxer 2,3 and 4) really acted like a cyborg , it's kinda funny sometimes. I don't know why some people don't like it , I think it's a good movie. I wonder if there's gonna be a sequel to this , it might be called "Class of 2000". I hope there will be even though I doubt it.

This should be called "Kickboxer : The Remake"
20 January 2001
I thought this movie was really like "Kickboxer"(Van Damme). It had the same kind of plot. It had the same destination , Thailand. I think it was a major copy of Kickboxer , but it was enjoyable. It had good training music and the fights were done so good , but the acting was real bad , overall I give this 8/10.

Explosive Martial Arts Move!
13 January 2001
This is one of the best martial arts movie ever made. It's got "Damme" good soundtrack , "Damme" good story line and "Damme" good training. The last fight is the best I've ever seen. I've seen 2 different versions and they're both good. This is a must watch Van Damme movie.
