My favorite bogart film by far and def in my top 10 black and white films. A timeless message and still a great use of time!! :)

But Jurassic Park did it the right way! They used CG very sparingly and mixed it with models and suits. Sam Neill laying on a triceratops, come on.
Had that movie been made today it would be Chris Pratt acting opposite some dudes in motion capture suits. Hey. Wait.
Very true!..lol…i think used correctly every effect has a place but yeh most CGI is dated or looks off now, waaaay to heavily leaned on these days.
A Plea on Behalf of Practical Effects: This film is thirty years old, and most of it looks like it could be made today. It features prosthetics, model builds, puppetry, matte painting, and all kinds of makeup effects. And they ALL hold up. The only places that look even slightly dated are anything approaching CGI, which was mostly likely just blue screen at the time.
Technology will always move at a fast pace, and CGI in movies from just five years ago has already started to look laughable. Sure, maybe it’s a little cheaper and a little faster. But if studios would go back to investing in the artists that make effects in movies like Total Recall, there would be so many more things standing the tests of time.
CGI had a small window wher it still holds up as well, tell me jurassic park looks dated now!..lol…id say mid to late 90s was the sweet spot, i agree with you when it comes to around 90% of films and effects tho! :)
not good, i mean come on!….there doesnt exist a single person that wouldnt push that button multiple times!..lol :P Also the movie cant ever quite decide what its trying to be and doesnt really commit one way or the other so it just ends up doing more things badly….hard to follow and hard to care about or empathize in any way with the characters.
so just a heads up for people trying to see some of these seasons, a bunch of seasons (20-current) can be streamed on mtvcanada’s website….you HAVE to use a proxy and set your location to canada or the player wont work and it’s not .com it’s .ca but hey it’s better than nothing!! ;)
It was aright, kind of overplayed the whole “no electricity, oh my!” bit and had a poop ending.
It released in the US in 1957 as is shown on IMDB and just to clarify this site does NOT exclusively go by US release dates as there are plenty of movies on here that havent been released in the US so that theory is officially debunked. It did release on TV in Germany as “Aufruhr im Mädchenwohnheim” on the 31st of august 1993 but i still fail to see how that is relevant. IMDB says 1957 so this is just plain and simple a typo, nothing more. If you say something about it in the forum’s fix it thread i am confident it will get fixed promptly as we have great mods here! :)
Very well made film that suffered from an unfortunate release date (only days before xmas) and a pre release thrashing by critics. It was an obvious hit job as most of what the critics thrashed was stuff they would have applauded any other movie for….moral of the story?…ALWAYS ignore the critics and form your own opinion! The movie is tough to watch at times, it is incredibly sad once you learn it was based on a true story. Steve Carell was great in this, really captured what it is like for people that have gone thru something ike that imo. Worth the watch!! :)
No worse than any YT movie….lol…not high bar i know :P Definately 11k worth of movie, odd character interactions and bad in just a bad way acting but not the worst thing i have ever wasted time on.
Maybe your Radar is broken. It got 4+ Oscar Nominations and Won the Oscar for best adapted screenplay
Awards shows are quite possibly the worst tool for finding good content these days but i get your point. My point had more to do with this being on multiple “financial flops that critics loved” (ironic, i know) and similar lists on YT. I found this in a watch mojo top 10 and it said it was a boring premise to make a movie on and claimed the only reason anyone watched it at all was bale…..which is all ridiculous!…lol :P 100% though, awards shows have ZERO to do with my personal radar :)
Very little known sequel to A Christmas Story. Different actors but the same universe and i believe the same narration. Just as good if not better than it’s first movie! Dont miss out on this one! :)
How this has a 6.8 rating is beyond me, this is a 10/10 movie!! Classic Jack and Walter, like all of their other movies together with just a tad more silliness thrown in for fun….really great stuff!! :)
The far, far superior version of this film. It got a re-make in the US but that version is very obviously worse than this one and really felt like a hollow imitation rather than a re-make. If you dont mind subs, or happen to speak french then WATCH THIS!!
Very interesting concept, a tad predictable but entertaining all the same.
Any demand for links for this??…thinking about starting on it but not positive it’s a great use of my time unless people actually want it. If even 1 person wants links then i will start so someone let me know!! ;)
I never got around to this but it looks like someone did, many thanks uploader!…the whole situation lately has had me covering literally my entire shop’s workforce and still uploading what i can so i very much appreciate picking up my slack!! :)
Really, really, really fucking great series!! Got picked up by Netflix for a second season but then Netflix decided they had just bought the show just to buy it and had no intention of doing anything with it so the creators did a second season on their own and it was a bit late at that point hype wise. I feel like people had forgotten about it by the time the higher ups had figured everything out. The second season is not as good as the first imo but the first season is good enough that i HIGHLY recommend watching it!….i promise you it is enjoyable!! :)
old one is just as good
do you remember the name of said film?….cuz i thought the whole making keys, hiding in a closet thing seemed familiar but i couldnt think of the name of the movie i saw it in…lol
follows the typical formula but has fun with it, classic mismatched cop/civie action movie. Worth a watch if that’s what you are in the mood for!! :)
I liked it, yet another case of the low imdb rating being just plain wrong. Wasnt the most amazing movie ever but was interesting and entertaining, what more do you need? 7.5/10
Yeh idk what all the outrage is about except for maybe people feeling personally attatcked by the joking generalizations contained within but it still seems pretty petty and meaningless to be so mad at a movie that when ya think about it is just an action movie where the people said mean things!:O Like that has never happened before!…lol I was enetertained, plain and simple. It’s no citizen kane or the shining but it kept me interested and wanting to see how it ended and really thats all i care about in a movie. Watch it or dont, wont bother me at all…but just watch it and decide for yourself before u jump on the political bandwagon and make this movie into something it’s not.
Just plain great. Had no idea what to expect going in but was very pleasently surprised! Funny and fun but iteresting enough to keep your attention. Adding this to the collection!…watch this now! :)
One of the defining movies of my childhood, a great series of movies too!!
Part saw, part scott pilgrim. Very stylized and they make good use of that 80s pink/blue/purple colored lighting. Way funnier than i expected!….very good performance by radcliffe!
Nothing else like this movie! A true classic, kind of a spoof movie, kind of not.
Not bad. Feel like they could have done a little more with it but it was entertaining and had enough twistiness to keep me interested. 7/10
Leaned real hard on cgi but i didnt hate it for it. Good book, good movie, good dog! Harrison ford was great too i guess…lol :P
Very good. Based on actual events, reminded me alot of “The Dish (2000)”. Worth checking out for sure if you are into the genre.
What a movie!! :O Mad at myself for only just watching this. Elements of all the best space/sci-fi films all rolled into one with a dash of sam rockwells out of this world acting ability. Watch this right now if u havent!!
Meh, okay but not great. Not sure id recco this or watch it again, just didnt grab me.
Like a more truthful version of king of kong. Entertaining if you are into the genre (video game doc) Would recco over king of kong personally.
The older i get the more i realize these disney movies were made for adults to remind them to not be shitbags….lol….some of the humor was lost on me as a child but i can really appreciate it now!…Go back and watch some of these (i recco this and atlantis) i will bet you find something u missed before! :)
Another lesser known but pretty darn good movie! Really funny and entertaining but it is a tiny bit cliche. Do not let this one slip by!
A real hidden gem!…never hear a peep about this one and it’s a damn shame!…great movie with a solid cast. will watch again and again :)
maybe better than the first, i had no idea this existed until today, happy to have found it.
This and the sequel are both great but def a specific taste!…if ya like dark this is for you.
Pretty decent but taken in the wrong direction imo. I fell like the premise at first is amazing and full of possibilities, they chose to go a certain way with it and it is entertaining but i feel like it was a bit short and underdeveloped…..either that or alot of it stayed on the cutting room floor or it was a last minute re-edit. All the ingredients to be great just didn’t nail the execution…..still worth a watch! :)
Like a cooler version of limitless. Leaned heavily on special effects for the wow factor but kept me interested and entertained the entire way thru. Always nice to find one that slipped by me originally! :)
Kind of upset i had to find out about this movie from watch mojo…lol…i really liked it! I dont even know how to explain why i like it and im not sure i would recco it to just anyone….even knowing people liked something similar….idk…worth a watch for sure!
Seems i found another one where i disagree with the majority but in reverse this time. I really just did not find it that enjoyable or interesting. It wasn’t a bad movie but i’m definitely struggling to see what about it evoked such extreme praise. Nobody in the entire movie was like-able imo and it made it hard to care what happened to them. Not something i would watch again or recommend to anyone. Different strokes for different folks tho!! :)
Any demand for links for this??…thinking about starting on it but not positive it’s a great use of my time unless people actually want it. If even 1 person wants links then i will start so someone let me know!! ;)
If you use a VPN and log into MTV canada you can watch pretty much every episode from the last 15-20 years. i have all but 1 episode of Austin (season 16) and will be upping soon. For those that dont live in canada / dont wanna spend a cpl thousand bucks on amazon the VPN and MTV.ca method is really the only way.
I get the feeling that this was made JUST to pass the time. Nobody in the movie seemed like they were into it at all and i fet the same watching it. Nothing memorable throughout and even though i watched the entire thing i couldnt tell u a thing about it…..just incredibly uninspired and boring, very difficult to be interested in…even while you are watching it!!…lol :P
