Trespass (2011)
2/10
Don't waste your time
4 December 2011
Me and my girlfriend thought we would watch a "no brainer" movie so we watch Trespass, and man what a piece of rubbish. One of the worse movies I've seen in a long long time. Cage overplays his role, Kidman is as stiff as her plastic surgeons hard-on and the hole plot, dialog etc is as flat as a deadline. Watching the trailer I thought it would be an "OK" thriller to pas the time but it isn't. Don't buy it, don't rent it, don't download it as you only waste valuable time that can be spent on something much better. Cage and Kidman should be ashame of being in such a horrible movie...I guess some actors don't care about what kind of movies they do as long as the paycheck is good.

AMAZING...visually that is!
4 February 2010
I saw this movie in 3D and I must say, it was amazing! Visually, that is. Other then that I'm far from impressed. If you take the visual away all you are left with is a predictable shallow story with one cliché after the other. As it is a James Cameron movie, I guess one could have figured that out right from the beginning. How ever, if you want to be visually amazed and can turn of your brain for around 2 hours you should go see this movie at the cinemas, in 3D. The guys who are responsible for the visual really deserve an applaud, and once you are done applauding and you might want a laughter or two, look around you and you'll see all these mutts (just like you) with these Buddy Holly-3 D glasses...now THAT is entertainment!

The low budget isn't the only thing that is low...
26 July 2006
I saw Caan, Pastore and Vincent...and the trailer...and I thought, hey why not give it a chance? So I ordered it on DVD from the US.

I saw it last night, and man what a big disappointment...OK, I know it's a low budget movie - but it's just terrible. I've seen other low budget movies on the mob that are far better. (give "Witness to the Mob" a chance)

This movie tries to ripoff of the BIG greater mafia movies like Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco etc. without getting close... Some scenes are just so "embarrassing" that you don't know if you should laugh or cry. over 5 on IMDb? G's...this movie dosen't deserve anything better then a 3.

Don't buy it, don't rent it...just Forgetaboutit!

Jack the Bear (1993)
9/10
A heart-warming overlooked classic.
17 January 2005
I bet you like me have lots of movies you saw when you were younger, and you remember them being great. Then, years later you get to see these movies, and they aren't that great, you understand that you've grown and that your taste in movies has changed...still some of "those" movies remain "classics" to you. I have a few of those movies...when I saw that Jack The Bear was coming out on DVD, I ordered a copy right away. I hadn't seen this movie since 93-95. I remember it being very powerful, even got my older brother in tears. Although, I wasn't sure how I would find it now 10-11 years later. I must say, it's truly a very powerful drama. It's very very touching, never seen De Vito this good, the kids, Senise etc - Everyone/everything is great. It's a very heart-warming story, and it feels very "real". It's truly a "classic" movie, and I must say I even appreciate it more now that I've grown up (26 years old).

Still - One of my favorite movies.

The Insider (1999)
10/10
Michael Mann does it again...
8 December 2003
He swept me away with his masterpiece "Heat" and now he has done it again. Ok, The Insider might not be the same type of film, but Mann has put his "Mann-touch" in it, and it got this "darkness"/camera work/locations as seen in Heat all over it. In other words - Michael Mann is the man. (my fav. director)
