Great comedy!.......2007-04-18

Hispanic-American Rudy (Cheech Marin) is just having a fine day until an immigration raid as he's wrongfully prosecuted as an illegal immigrant. He doesn't know a word of spanish and forgot to bring his wallet and ID, he's forced to be deported to Mexico as he must find a way to get back to the U.S. even if he has to work for a club owner (Daniel Stern) for money.

Entertaining, underrated and hilarious cult comedy written and directed by Cheech Marin in based on his comedy parody album of the same name. Co-starring Paul Rodriguez, this lighthearted comedy has good laughs and an original storyline from Marin fresh off his Cheech and Chong stuff, this is one of the best and funniest comedy movies i've ever seen for i highly recommend it.

The DVD here has good picture and sound with both fullscreen and widescreen versions and one extra which is the theatrical trailer.

Great Movie.......2007-03-29

I personally love this movie, first time i saw it, a long time ago, i didnt like it because I was a Kid,,, then i saw it a few years later and love it,,, now i went to amazon and looked for it,,, its now on my collections... Its not a huge Classic movie, but it makes you have a good tome.

Born in East L.A........2007-01-06

I have been waiting for some time to buy this movie because it was one of my all-time favorites when I first saw it on television. Waiting to see if it would appear at a discount price (about $5-$7)I decided to go ahead and purchase it. I was disappointed to find out that this version had the shorten-version that did not show the marriage on the float at the end of the movie. Only then did I learn this movie had two different endings. Regardless, since it was one of my favorites, I decided to keep it anyway.

Good, politically incorrect ethnic humor!.......2006-11-11

What made this film funny is that Cheech Marin's character Rudy Ramos tried to behave as the straight guy while acting out just about every bad Mexican joke that's ever been told. In this respect, it's one gaffe right after another.

BTW I also got a big kick out of Paul Rodriguez as the cousin, Javier, who acted like the picture of Jesus with the phone behind it was talking to him... at one point, he obediently brings "Jesus" a can of beer, LOL!

If only the real situation were not so depressing. I went to Tijuana in December '88 with a buddy who's an American citizen (he's of Mexican descent, but looks Egyptian... so the border guards never gave him any trouble), and came back across at the end of the day wondering why any sane person would want to live there. As bad as Tijuana is, however, I've heard it's nowhere near as bad as Calcutta ( =Tijuana if it was hit by a bomb).

Funny as Hell'o.......2006-08-24

Too funny. Send a copy the mexican border, both sides should see this movie!

Taking a page from The Animatrix, Dark Fury is part of a new trend of bridging theatrical sequels. As an official product of a franchise, the 35-minute anime benefits from having the original actors voice the characters, including Vin Diesel as Riddick. This story opens with the new action hero and the two other survivors of Pitch Black already caught by a giant spaceship filled with dread. The sinewy leader has a unique--and creepy--jail for master villains and she has her sights set on Riddick. The film--indeed the series--is indebted to animator Peter Chung, who brings his techno style from his Aeon Flux series. His smooth animation for Riddick doesn't reinvent the character as much as give him a new, appealing fluidity. As anime goes, there's nothing really new here--plenty of action, cool killers, and dramatic spurts of blood--but it's a building block for how this genre might enliven movie series and sequels in the future. --Doug Thomas

Good segway.......2007-05-19

This movie is supposed to be a "filler" between Pitch Black Pitch Black (Unrated) [HD DVD] and Chronicle of Riddick The Chronicles of Riddick (Widescreen Unrated Director's Cut). The story isn't bad, and it continues in the Riddick tradition. I was sad it was not longer, but I was fairly happy with the story. It was interesting to see some of the behind the scenes commentary which helped paint some of the Riddick universe's picture.

Dark Fury.......2007-04-11

This was gift for my husband who loves the whole chronicles of riddick thing.He loves it so i gave it 5 stars for that reason.I have not seen it nor do i plan to so if he loves it i love it.

Good animation........2007-03-08

Story line was good. Covers events between "Pitch Black" and "Chronicles". However it was too short and may have been better if live action instead of animime.

good but short.......2007-02-07

I am an anime fan and I love this movie. It is very short but I always think of it when I am watching cronicles of Riddick. I love the animation of Peter Chung it is brilliant and beautiful, not to mention the awesome fight scenes. I wish there were more of these to enjoy, 35 minutes is not enough for this amazing and inventive story.

Liked it, yet would have wanted more from it.......2006-10-20

I can only give this short 3 stars because even though I liked it I also felt like there could have been more to it. I liked both Pitch Black and the Chronicles or Riddick and it I like the idea of filling in certain gaps. I believe there are a number of angles that could be covered in the Riddick storyline. With Dark Fury I think that it helps, only slightly, in explaining the beginning of Chronicles of Riddick sequal and one of the scenes in the sequal when Riddick and Jack are on Crematoria.

Yet, like other reviewers this was just to short for me. Just when I had gotten into it, it was over. This is critical to me since I was thinking about buying it. I am glad that I had rented it, where I watched it twice and then after that I got all I needed from it.

I think this anime would have better if it was a part of a series dealing with Riddick's past. It would be better if they made a series of Riddick animations and then sold them together. It would nice to know what happened to Riddick during his years in prison. It would be nice to know about his escape from Butcher Bay (I guess the video game deals with that). It would be nice to know what exactly are the Furyans race. It would be nice to know what happens after the Chronicles of Riddick sequal. Covering these in an animated series would have made Dark Fury more appealing. Also, I am not one for the Ion Flux style of animation. It made Riddick look smaller than in the movies. He looked real scrawny where in the movies his is bigger.

So my recommendation is to rent, not buy, unless you are really a Riddick fan and plan on making this a part of your collection.

Primitive special effects + Bad acting = Worthless movie.......2007-05-24

The special effects in this movie are jokes. The creatures look exactly like furry puppets. The video quality is a shame. It's faded and grainy. The acting is like that of a bad movie show. The Gremlins is more exciting, interesting and entertaining. I regret I bought it even though it cost me only $10.

Just good fun..........2007-05-21

This movie was just as much fun as the first time I saw it! What's not to love? Alien's that eat everything in sight and cause trouble across the universe. Shape shifting alien bounty hunters. And a small town invaded by Critters. Nice.

Move over Bobba Feet.......2007-01-25

This movie when it came out in the mid eighties was a huge hit. A word of warming this movie has heavy language in it, heavy gore heavy scince fiction action sequences in it. As a result I do not recommend this movie to any one under the age of thirteen unless suprevised by at leasst two parents or guardians. There also three parts in this movie with vandalism once in a church, one in a bowling ale and one on a farm with Piano's and other protery being blown to bits by the two bounty hunters because they are trigger happy and get startled and aroused easily. Critters is the ultimate storey of good versus evil. As the stroey begins a space ship is arriving carring 8 prisoners to a high security space prison on an ansteriod. The prisoner are 8 super agressive crinmals of a species of meat eatting toxic aliens known as the Krites. There are eight remaining Krites you see when the krites were orrignally arrested there were ten of them aboard the ship but because of the krites super vorcaious appetite to eat everything insite they aliens that arrested them were forced two kill to of the krites in order to make there food supply last until they reached the prison. The krites have just arrived the prison. The warden sensing something is wrong sends some of the prison guards to the termination cell to check on krite. Shortly after the guards arrive at the cell some how through ways never explained the krites set of and explosion blowing a whole in the cell. The explosion kills to of the guards and the krites escape in a space ship to earth. They are persued there by two faceless shapesifting bounty hunter Ug and Lee. Once on earth the krites begin there rain of destruction. First a police cop is attacked by a single krite and after being stunned by a poison quill is dragged under his police car and is killed. The krites adventually end up at a farm in Kansas belonging to the Brown Family after killing a cow and the boy friend of Bradly brown's sister the Brown family alone must face off against these eight terrors from space. Will they Browns stop the krites and will the Bounty hunters get there in time or will the town of Grovers bend fall to ruin. Find out in the action packed conclusion

Fun and entertaining.......2006-04-10

I cannot help but laugh every time I see people bashing each other over a movie. Disliking a certain film is one thing. But for somebody to go out of their way and flagrantly insult a total stranger over their enjoyment of a particular film they happened to hate is unnecessary and immature. Amazon should police these reviews a bit more seriously.

"Critters" is a fond and harmless throwback to the sort of monster movie so prevalent in the mid-1950s sci-fi boom. I cannot so easily classify the plot as straight-up horror, because it really isn't. This is more of a hodgepodge. You get a smattering of horror, comedy, and science fiction all rolled up within a singular and satisfying package. I caught this in a theater with my father twenty years ago, and it has always remained a guilty pleasure of mine. None of the special effects are overdone, the writing is suitable, and I found most of the cast agreeable and entertaining.

I have found over the years that many of us tend to take our movies way too seriously. In the end, I could really care less that "Critters" doesn't follow the rules of reality. Because, when I pay to see movies like this, reality is something I want to escape from.

Gremlins?.......2006-03-25

The film is based in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere.
Nothing ever much happens and you could just drop dead of boredom.
Then the 'Crites' land and start to eat everything that's not nailed down.
Low to the ground, built for speed, darts that immobilise their prey laced over their heads, the tiny predators feast and get BIG.
Someones on their tail, a couple of face changing bounty hunter aliens who are sent to kill them off, worlds have been consumed when they have go out of hand before.
It comes down to a young boy who enlists their help and leads them to the critters - no one wants to believe him - silly them.
This is the film Gremlins would have been if they hadn't made Gizmo look so cute - they bite!
Classy film with snazzy monsters.

Pretty Good........2007-06-27

I like a good zombie movie. The ending was an interesting twist, honestly didn't see it coming. It does take a little while to get there, and it's a little confusing with the whole alien and zombie thing. It's a little slow at times, but overall i like it. Good for first-timers, and i look forward to their next one.

They should have called it "DEAD".......2007-05-06

This movie was terrible. Whoever called this film a classic must be very easily entertained. What's with the people hanging in mid-air? What's with the rain? What's with the aliens? Where did the zombies come from? Why were the zombies still there after the aliens left?

This is a classic 'the editor should have been fired' film.

Post structuralism meets Dawn of the Dead . . ........2007-04-05

I usually enjoy 'over-the-top' movies that play with a straight face(Think "Bruce Campbell"), and this is one of the better ones. It is a fun movie from people that obviously like the genre--they're not making fun OF it--but are having fun WITH it.

Definitely NOT predictable. I'm watching it a second time to sort out some of the twists. In addition, this is a case where not knowing the actors helps, because you have no idea who is going to survive. Well, you have some idea, but not entirely, and that adds to the fun.

The movies has the gore and the usual sort of thing one expects in the genre, but it is not creepy. When I watched it I thought of "Shawn of the Dead," in the sense that it is written/directed in a very similar spirit.

I'm glad I bought it and will probably watch it again every few years.

This is fun.......2007-04-01

The actor Mongo whatever, is a trip to watch!! The gore is funny as hell! The shovel scene makes me cringe every time I see it. Also the cops or constables are funny as well with their shorts!. Not one to take serious. This is very much like Dead Alive among others but not as goofy.

Undead (The Speirig Brothers, 2003)

The last thing I was expecting from the surprisingly-heavily-promoted (and unsurprisingly-narrowly-released-in-America) Undead, based on the big, murky promo posters, was comedy. But that's exactly what I got. Better yet, we got a zombie flick that has pretensions of being a fifties sci-fi B movie-- imagine crossing Night of the Living Dead with The Day the Earth Stood Still with the script being written by Broken Lizard and you've got a good idea of where the Speirig Brothers are coming from here.

Rene (the stunning Felicity Mason, recently of Hollywood) is a small-town beauty queen who'll do anything to get out. She is, in fact, on the verge of doing just that when things go horribly, horribly wrong-- a meteor shower bombards the town, killing hundreds of people, all of whom rise as zombies and start attacking the other townspeople (as zombies, of course, are wont to do), turning them into zombies as well. Rene flees into the home of Marion (Inspector Gadget 2's Mungo McKay), a reclusive fisherman with a taste for weaponry. Other survivors congregate in the house, and the stage is set for a protracted siege between man and zombie. Except those aren't the only two species coming to the party...

The surprising thing about Undead is that it doesn't play its comedy straight, the way Slither or Return of the Living Dead do; there's always something slimy and uncomfortable just beneath the surface making you feel dirty as you're laughing at this. You know you're not supposed to be laughing at the stuff you're laughing at. If the Spierig Brothers, who are also responsible for the twisted, twisted script here, were attempting to simulate the unintentionally-hysterical factor of fifties B movies, they have succeeded in such a way that Undead may end up being remembered as one of the great satires of all time; a lot of movies have poked fun at the genre (and at themselves) by parodying that brand of humor, but few, if any, picked up on the ugliness that often lies beneath it. Here it is in spades.

The more I think about it, the better this movie was. You want to see this. ****

A young boy named Owen learns the startling truth about dogs: They're actually from outer space, sent here to rule mankind. A canine agent from the star Sirius (voiced by Matthew Broderick) gets rescued from the pound by Owen (Liam Aiken) and named Hubble. As Hubble desperately tries to train a motley crew of dogs from Owen's neighborhood to behave like conquerors before the Greater Dane arrives and decides the planet's fate, the outer space pooch slowly bonds with Owen and discovers why dogs may have joined forces with humans instead of dominating them. Good Boy! will charm dog lovers in particular, but the movie has enough clever touches to engage most viewers, and it manages a sweet tone without turning cloyingly saccharine. Featuring the voices of Carl Reiner, Brittany Murphy, Delta Burke, Donald Faison, and--of all people--Vanessa Redgrave as the Greater Dane. --Bret Fetzer

Good for all ages!.......2007-01-11

I struggle to find movies that will entertain both of my daughters (ages 2 and 8) This one fits the bill. My kids are animal lovers so anything with talking animals is a big hit. They watch this movie in our van over and over! It's not a blockbuster but it's great for kids.

Good Boy!.......2006-07-18

As a long time dog owner (and ownee) I really enjoyed this movie. It is family oriented, very warm and has a wonderful ending. In between I loved how the personalities of the various dogs were portrayed. I happen to be partial to poodles but I liked the boxer best. Would definitely recommend for light viewing.

Good Boy.......2006-06-21

I loved this movie!It was great!My favorite part was when Owen and his family were picking out the dog at the pound.Hubble(the dog)was so cute and adorable.he looked like Rasheen.

I possibly watched hundreds of movies, and this one is surely one of the most delighful movies I have ever seen. I watched it with my dog Sultan, and he loved it as much as I did. The story is interesting and amuzing, the characters simply adorable. It touches your Heart, pleases your senses, and relaxes your mind. Could you ask for more? I would recommend this movie to everyone of all ages. You could see it again and again and it won't tire on you because there is Real Joy at its core. It aims to share this Joy with you, and it couldn't do a better job. Bravo!!!

Very good movie........2006-01-21

Good Boy: Starring Kevin Nealon, Liam Aiken, and Molly Shannon. Animal voices by: Cheech Marin, Matthew Broderick, Delta Burke, Donald Faison, Brittany Murphy, Vanessa Redgrave, and Carl Reiner.

This movie seemed to me like a cross between: Air Bud, E.T., and Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey. Granted, there were a few scenes where I said "Yeah right!" but overall, it is a warm, heartfelt movie that can be enjoyed by anyone who is willing to suspend disbelief. If you are the type that looks at movies from a critical point of view (i.e. Dogs don't talk; dogs can't jump that high, dogs can't fly, etc.) then no, you probably WON'T enjoy this movie. I know, and most other people also know that dogs don't speak English; but I was still able to enjoy the movie. And to those who watch with a "Critical eye," you complain about stuff being "Far Fetched;" no pun intended for this movie. So, I'm guessing you mainly just watch movies about stuff that actually happened, or could actually happen. If you go to rent this movie, read the back of the box first, and if you can't stand the thought of a movie with talking dogs, don't rent this movie, and don't rent Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey, or Homeward Bound: Lost In San Francisco. You'll be very upset with yourself. To the rest of us, sit back, relax, watch a movie, and just enjoy it for what it is. Nevermind that it's not entirely based in reality. If you are one of those people that only enjoy reality based stuff with no acting, go get yourself a few documentaries at the library. If you want a movie with some acting that has a basis in reality, get yourself a movie like Pearl Harbor.

It is what it is..........2007-04-24

You can look at the cover and know it's not an A-list blockbuster. That being said, for a horror/comedy, I've always thought it was awesome. The aliens are reasonably original (obviously there was a first movie, but you know what I mean), they are cute and cuddly, with lots of teeth and poison darts in their heads; how can you not love them? The characters are reasonably well developed between the two films (they're best watched back to back, though I would skip parts 3 and 4). The special effects, while not stellar, are definately good enough to support the film in the necessary ways. And yes, who can forget the giant ball o' Critters rolling down fleeing citizens and leaving twitching skeletons in its wake (I tend to watch that part five or six times every time I watch this movie). Again, not a deeply fulfilling interpersonal drama, or whatever, but very entertaining, campy alien horror, with enough humor to keep it from being too dark. I definately recommend it.

Critters is one of those sequels that actually tries to continue the storyline from the original film rather than just throw the Critters into a totally new environment and slap a "part 2" on it. Basically those Critter eggs we saw in the last shot of the first film have now hatched. Why it took two years for them to hatch is a mystery, but who can afford to be logical with a concept like this? At the same time as this goes on, Brad, the hero boy from the first film, comes back into town to see his hardcore vegetarian gramma. This time the whole town is under siege rather than one farm, coz there are many more Critters to deal with. The bounty hunters also return to help. Terrence Mann is back as the Johnny Steele bounty hunter. No poofy, blonde rocker hair this time, and he doesn't sing "Power of the Night"!! Charlie(Opper) has been hanging out with Mann and his faceless sidekick as an apprentice bounty hunter, and he returns as well. M. Emmet Walsh doesn't reprise his sheriff role, too bad. So, what follows is more Critter squishing/blasting, Brad finding romance, the faceless Lee constantly changing his appearance(one of them a hot Playboy centerfold), lame attempts at cutesy Critters humor, and that gigantic Critters ball that rolls over everything in it's path. This one was directed by Masters Of Horror creator Mick Garris, and hopefully isn't the film that gives him that "Master" qualification. Critters 2 isn't a failure. Like Halloween 2, it's about as good as it could be considering it's pretty much telling the same story. Kinda gruesome for a PG-13 too, but then again most of these films were. While not fantastic, it's a fun slice of schlocky nonsense and makes for a good double feature with the first film coz they do go together nicely.

The infestation of grovers bend.......2007-02-22

This movie is the action packed to the orginal movie. As the movie s it's been two years since the last incident. The krites thought to be exterminated are still on earth. Somehow one of the krites in the previous movie was some how was pregnant was able to lay eggs. Bradly brown returns after being abscent for 2 years. Shortly after he arrives the city is infested with literally thousand of krites. It's up to brad Charlie and his bounty hunter buddies ug and lee to clean up the town old fashion way. Will they succed or will groves been be tuned into a ghost town over run by the alien meance. If you like this I also recomend Critters one. There are actually four of these but 3 and four were only half as good as the first 2 were.

Critters 2: The Main Course.......2006-01-01

Director: Mick Garris
Cast: Scott Grimes, Terrence Mann, Don Keith Opper, Cynthia Garris, Al Stevenson, Tom Hodges, Douglas Rowe, Liane Alexandria Curtis, Lindsay Parker, Herta Ware.
Running Time: 93 minutes
Rated PG-13 for lots of critter violence, gore, language, and nudity.

The two alien bounty hunters from the original "Critters", Ug (the returning Terrence Mann) who still has the physical appearance of the rock star Johnny Steele while his partner Lee (Gregory Patrick) is still a 'nothing-face' & Charlie (the returning Don Keith Opper as Don Opper) who left Earth with them at the end of the original Critters is now a bounty hunter as well, are reintroduced to the viewer. After having successfully captured their latest bounty the threesome receive a message stating that residual Crite life remains on Earth & that they're payment is being withheld until all trace of the Crites on Earth have been destroyed, the three immediately head for Earth. It's been two years since the Crites tried to eat their way through the small American town of Grovers Bend & Bradley Brown (the returning Scott Grimes) is back in town to visit his Grandmother (Herta Ware) just as a local teenager named Wesley (Tom Hopges) finds some unhatched Critter eggs in the now abandoned Brown barn & sells them to an antiques dealer called Quigley (Douglas Rowe) who in turn sells them as Easter eggs. Predictably enough the Critter eggs begin to hatch & the little bloodthirsty hairballs start to eat their way through Grovers Bend. Only Brad & his reporter friend Megan (Liane Alexandra Curtis) know the truth, together with ex-Sheriff Harv (Barry Corbin) & the three bounty hunters they must convince the townspeople about the Crite's & wipe them out before it's too late.

Co-written and directed by Mick Garris, "Critters 2: The Main Course" is very similar to the original, it's almost as if the filmmakers said to themselves 'why fix it if it ain't broke?' The script by Garris & David Twohy as D.T. Twohy will seem very familiar to anyone who's seen the original. The comedy elements in "Critters 2: The Main Course" become distracting and feel a little out of place at times, when a Critter bumps it's head we hear birds chirping on the soundtrack, or when a Critter has the hair on top of it's head shot off it looks at itself in a reflective surface and says 'b*tchin' or when Lee turns into a topless model (Roxanne Kernohan) from a Playboy magazine complete with a giant staple in her stomach which she pulls out and throws away. There seems to be less straight horror this time around which is a shame, the atmosphere and threat is also missing because of the increased comedy elements. The special effects on the Critters themselves are moderately effective, yet they aren't noticeably any better than the original There is very little in the way of blood or gore, a bitten foot and flesh stripped skeletons and bones is as graphic as "Critters 2: The Main Course" gets, Technically the film is decent, while editing, music, direction, photography and acting certainly aren't going to win any awards. Overall, "Critters 2: The Main Course" is an good time waster especially for those who enjoyed the original, while this is not quite as good. Not a classic by any stretch of the imagination but certainly worth a watch as long as you have reasonable expectations.

The town infestation.......2005-10-25

Having been stymied in the midst of trying to make Matewan, John Sayles wrote what he thought could be a cheap, quick little movie and it turned out to be this near classic, which blends fish-out-of-water comedy with trenchant and serious science fiction. Joe Morton plays an extraterrestrial whose spaceship crashes in New York Harbor. When he swims ashore, he finds that most of Harlem is filled with earthlings who look just like him. He can't speak, but he quickly learns to communicate; he also finds ways to understand these strange, quarrelsome creatures, who seem to talk forever without really saying much. Sayles is at his economic best, drawing a touchingly complex performance from the silent Morton and good acting from a strong supporting cast of mostly unknowns. --Marshall Fine

Description

The visionary writer-director behind such films as Passion Fish, Lone Star and Sunshine State, OscarÂ(r) nominee* John Sayles has been at the forefront of independent cinema for more than twenty years. In this "vastly amusing, offbeat fantasy" (Variety), Sayles takes "a fresh look at our society" (Los Angeles Times) through the eyes of a black extraterrestrial (Joe Morton) who crash-lands on Earthin Harlemand is taken in by the regulars of a local bar. The alien changes everyone he meets on his "original and eye-opening" (The Hollywood Reporter) journey through the streets of urban America. But can his message of brotherly love resonate with the intergalactic bounty hunters trying to track him down? *1996: Original Screenplay, Lone Star; 1992: Original Screenplay, Passion Fish

The Brother is Funny.......2007-04-22

I must say that this movie is one of my all time classics. It is a social commentary on race relations. It is a science fiction movie. It is a comedy. I loved the fact that the Brother sleeps with Dee Dee Bridgewater without ever saying a word. Let that be a lesson to guys who stumble over their tounges trying to come up with a come on line. Just be real and sincere and you may be surprised. Joe Morton is great. His acting was was not over the top. It was inspired on the part of John Sayles to have the Brother land in New York. This could have been a twilight zone episode. It had all the ingredients. A man who could not speak but had special powers living among humans. Get the movie you will enjoy it.

Morton is Magnificent, Brother Endures Time.......2006-07-21

If you appreciate fine acting, in particular, the artistry of silent acting, you will want to watch Joe Morton over and over again in this low-budget classic from John Sayles. Part Chaplin, part Keaton, even part Harpo, Morton is simply magnificent. His gestures and movements, his body language and facial expressions encompass a huge physical vocabulary from frightened innocence to gleeful joy, from tired resignation to bold determinism. In a heroic dash up and down Harlem, Morton's character pulls the audience along on a sometimes comic, sometimes gritty extraterrestrial flight from intergalactic cops.

The Brother from Another Planet, Sayles's funky sci-fi, grand metaphor of sanctuary and immigration, immortalizes Morton as a great silent star. Probably best known for his supporting role in Terminator 2 as the self-sacrificing scientist, he ironically enough got his start in the 1968 Broadway production of Hair and later earned a Tony Best Actor nomination for his performance in a musical version of A Raisin in the Sun. BTW, the first music you hear in Brother is a clip of rap that Morton's character "hears" from the graffiti-covered walls on a deserted back street. (Yes, he is able to pick up "lost" voices from walls and chairs and public spaces.) Watch the credits at the end and you will discover that the rapper is Morton himself!

Of course there is more to Brother than Joe Morton's sterling performance. Endless metaphors of racial inequality, issues of otherness, bureaucracy, drug trafficking, alienation, slavery, and the funny sadness of people constantly wrapped up in themselves resound throughout the film. Not as rough as a Sun Ra flick, but certainly as genuine and homey and wise, Brother endures time and looks just as current as when it was made in 1984.

Original and wonderfully fun to watch.......2006-07-09

If you enjoy quirky and dark humor, this is a delightful and thoughtful film. My wife and I are very happy to own this film.

Very good movie; lousy DVD.......2005-09-10

The story of a man on the lam, intergalactically, is compelling, primarily because of Joe Morton who says not a word in the entire movie. John Sayles' direction is unobtrusive but effective. One of my favorite lighter moments is the morning after a romantic night when the woman tells Brother that he's a terrific lover but he has to do something with those toenails (the only outwardly difference of Brother is his three toed feet with claws). [...] "Brother" deserves more.

Two words-SEE IT!.......2005-03-24

This is a very well done story whose low budget does NOT get in the way (in fact, it adds to the charm). The story about a Black extraterrestrial who winds up in Harlem and then...well, you'll find out. For non-sci-fi fans and those used to the typical action films or crude ghetto comedies featuring black casts, this film may take some getting used to, as it is sparse on dialogue. After viewing it once, I recommend watching it again and with John Sayles' excellent commentary.

Overall, once you get it, it's great. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt like a "fish out of water" and longed to be understood and become a part of a community (in this case, Harlem, one of the world's most famous communities, becomes a metaphor). Of course there is more to the film's message that that, but see the film, find out, and enjoy.

Critters 4 (1992).......2006-01-01

Director: Rupert Harvey
Cast: Don Keith Opper, Terrence Mann, Paul Whitthorne, Anders Hove, Angela Bassett, Brad Dourif, Eric DaRe, Martine Beswick, Anne Ramsay.
Running Time: 100 minutes
Rated PG-13 for violence, language, and gore.

"Critters 4" starts, somewhere in Kansas and replays the last few minutes of "Critters 3" (1991) as the recurring character of Charlie McFadden (Don Keith Opper) is about to shoot the last two remaining Critter eggs in the universe which, we are informed, would mean the extinction of the entire Critter race which is against some sort of intergalactic zoological law or something like that. Charlie's bounty hunter friend Ug (Terrence Mann) is now known as Counsellor Tetra and is a top ranking official at the intergalactic council and orders Charlie not to shoot the eggs but instead put them into a pod that will land nearby very soon. The pod does indeed land nearby very quickly & Charlie does indeed put the eggs into it but he is also caught in the pod which I presume cryogenic-ally freezes him as it's never really explained. "Critters 4" then informs us that we are 'Somewhere in Saturn Quadrant 2045' where a salvage ship comes across the pod drifting in space. Rick (Anders Hove) decides to claim the unidentified, to them anyway, pod and try to make a bit of cash out of it. With the help of his crew, Ethan (Paul Whitthorne), Fran (Angela Bassett), Al Bert (Brad Dourif) and Bernie (Eric DeRe), the pod is successfully recovered. They get in touch with the intergalactic council and Counsellor Tetra say to go to an abandoned space-station where a trade will be made for the pod and its contents, Tetra also specifically tells Rick not to open the pod. So in true horror film tradition Rick opens the pod, thaws Charlie out and the Critter eggs which hatch, kill Rick and escape into the space-station.

Co-produced & directed by Rupert Harvey, "Critters 4" is a pretty useless film and rounds the Critter series of films off with a whimper rather than a bang. The script by Joseph Lyle and David J. Schow is both predictable & clichéd, the space-station with an unstable reactor that will blow up in a few hours, the protagonists only means of escape being neutralised early on so they are stuck, the race against time to save themselves, the constant bickering & arguing amongst the crew, people splitting up and the loser who turns into a hero & saves the day, yawn. A lot of plot devices seem to come straight from "Aliens" and it rips off "Star Wars" with a tacky waste compactor scene. The characters are no better and you probably won't give a damn about any of them. While the other "Critters" films could be described as comedy horrors part 4 cannot, it appears to be deadly serious throughout, making it incredibly slow, uneventful and dull. The looks cheap throughout with bland, dark unimaginative sets and it even steals footage from "Android" for it's ships and space scenes; "Critters 4" was apparently so low budget that the filmmakers couldn't afford any optical effects & the ones it takes from "Android" look seriously dated. The acting is pretty poor as well with Angela Bassett's over-the-top melodramatic reaction to seeing a few Critter eggs particularly cringe worthy. To look at "Critters 4" it is as cheap and unspectacular a production as you could hope to (not) see.

Ok, I was a little harsh last time........2004-12-19

Yeah, I'm doing another review for Critters4. It wasen't that bad, but I still think the idea of the krites(the little monsters) in outer space is a little goofy.

I hope the rest of the Critters movies aren't this bad........2004-11-14

This was the first Critters movie I ever saw, and I'm dissapointed. 53 years after Critters3, the Krites end up in outer space and wreck havoc there. The best parts are the rare cheap jokes that aren't even funny, but slightly better then the rest of the movie. The Krites in this one just look more silly then the Krites in the 1st 3 movies, I bet, because they had bald heads! MAXIMUM SILLYNESS!!!!!!!

Good sequel, bad ending!.......2004-08-09

I thought this was a good sequel but it raised a big question. Why did Charlie's friend Ug become bad? I didn't get that part and didn't like the idea because he was good in the first 2 films. The first film is my favorite, the second was very good and the third was ok but could have been better. I have all of these movies on dvd and if anybody's a fan of the Critters films like I am, these movies are a good part of your dvd collection.

The Final film.......2004-04-20

This unfortunately was the last critters film. The should not have stopped. Sure it was the second worest of the three. Okay movie.

Charlie is a major character but very little action. To make thing worse UG is now evil. Apparently something change Ug he does not want to wipe out all the Crites. Cheezy parts UG Sholud have been like 70 in 2040 but he's only looks like 30.

Charlie is order buy Ug to put to the two remain eyes in a pods. Charlie get locked in the pod accidently. He is adjected into space he is inside there for 49 years. After the pod is collected by a salavage crew.

After there greed leader blast open the pods charlie is free. Unforunately the Crite eggs have hatched. Is weird is the Crites were in with Charlie and did not hurt him.

The Crites get loose on the space station and the killing begins over again. This movie is also a spoff of Closous there is a computer that talks named Adrina whos central logic is only at 50% . That pluse there is one part about 15 minuted into the movie there is and reactment of the trash compactor scence form episode 4 of starwars but is only half as good. When Charlie almost get sucked into space.

Critters 3 (1991).......2005-12-31

Director: Kristine Peterson
Cast: John Calvin, Aimee Brooks, Christian Cousins, Joseph Cousins, William Dennis Hunt, Nina Axelrod, Leonardo DiCaprio, Don Keith Opper.
Running Time: 86 minutes
Rated PG-13 for violence and mild language.

"Critters 3" starts on the open road as Clifford (John Calvin) his teenage daughter Annie (Aimee Brooks) & his young son Johnny are heading back home from a vacation. Suddenly the tyre on their van blows & they have to stop at a public rest area to fix it. While there Annie and Johnny meet a kid named Josh (Leonardo DiCaprio in his Hollywood debut) who in turn all run into Charlie McFadden (the films co-producer Don Keith Opper) from the previous two "Critters" films. Charlie tells them the story of the Krites and the town of Grovers Bend but they don't believe him, meanwhile back at the van a critter lays some eggs on it's underside, out of sight from everyone. Once Clifford has fixed the tyre the trio set off for their home, a run down urban tenement block in Los Angeles somewhere complete with Critter eggs along for the ride. Upon arrival the eggs hatch & the Critters head straight inside the tenement block quickly disposing of Frank (Geoffrey Blake), the caretaker. As the night draws on the few remaining residents, a fat woman named Rosalie (Diana Bellamy), a telephone repair woman Marsha (Katherine Cortez), an elderly couple Mr. (Bill Zuckert) & Mrs. Menges (Frances Bay) must come together with Clifford & his kids to fight the Critters. Josh also makes an appearance as his Stepfather (William Dennis Hunt) owns the building. But will the group be able to defeat the Critters & prevent themselves from becoming dinner?

Let's be honest, no one say to be shocked to discover this is a cheap little film that doesn't have too much going for it. The plot is the usual: people hunted by critters, this time in a building so it's like "Die Hard" with aliens. Sadly the action is poor, it's not really gorym and the critter attacks are always more funny than thrilling. There is no real excitement or tension and it's all a bit predictable The supposed comedy is nowhere near the one it aspires to (Joe Dante's "Gremlins") and really the funniest bit is how silly the whole thing is. Needless to say the acting is poor and some people can't even be mauled convincingly; however, it is interesting to see DiCaprio's debut, even if he looks about 9 years old! Overall, "Critters 3" is a ridiculous bit of dumb fun that is daft and slightly shoddy, not nearly living up to the previous two installments in the series. It may just pass the time but there are much better horror/comedies out there if you want them.

Good but not perfect.......2005-10-25

This one does not have a lot of action in it. A very low death count. Don Opper is a minor characters in this one only appearing at the very begining and very end of the film. Also appearing in this movie in his film debut is a tennage Lenodarno Di Caprio. He has a minor rule also.
Once again the krites apperance has changed. They do not look the same.

This one is more humorous. There is a gag in this similar to in gremlins where the krites our in a dark room but instead of watching Snow White there watching a demonstration on how to prepare chicken.

There are fewer subtitles in this than in the original for the krites. We she a new ability of the krites in this film. When I danger they can let off this loud wobbling cry that is so intense in puitch it can shatter glass. I thought the crystal that glowed when the krites where near by was cool.

I thought the part when charile charges the krite and grabes it and falls of the top of the roof was funny. The part when the krites are tearing up the old couples apartment and scarfying down one there beans. One off the krites chugs down some dish soap. The fire work krite gag was the funnest gag in the movie. If you like this one I recommend the others. If you want lots of action I recommend the first and the second only.

Critters are now under rated beasties........2005-02-25

A little under rated.The critters find they're way into an apartment building, wreck havoc, eat some jerks, attack some people, burp and fart up a storm, raid the kithen, and even oprea sing! Loads of fun, but could of had better actors and the awesome origenal Critters score. Then I'd give it 5/5. The script was pretty goofy too. And whats up with Charlie doing the Tarzan thing? Jeez. Still could have been much worse.

Get rid of the Charlie character........2005-02-15

They really should make another CRITTERS movie. With a proper budget, a good script and a dedicated director one solidly entertaining movie could reenergize the whole franchise and take it to a new level. The most important change that needs to be made is you have to get rid of the goofy Charlie character. He was in all four movies and sucked in all four movies. Also make the movies much darker, without so much story and you've got a hit.

As far a Part 3 goes some Krites invade a small apartment building and chase people all around but only kill two people. It's entertaining, but at the same time disappointing. The story goes nowhere, the direction is strictly by the numbers and of course you got the goofy dude showing up and slowing down the story. There is a lot of wasted potential here.

The one and only reason this movie is in my collection is because this is one of the earliest starring roles for Aimee Brooks, who is now legal and very sexy. If you don't believe me just watch MONSTER MAN.

Could have been better!.......2004-08-09

I thought this was an ok sequel but not as good as the first 2 films. I think there should not have been any more sequels after 2 because it ended really well. This one could have been a little better and the same thing goes for part 4. The only good part of 3 is when they show Charlie, the rest of the movie is kind of boring. I own all 4 of these films on dvd and even recommend this one to add to your collection.

Imagine that. Gumby is a rock creature!.......2007-04-15

Well I'm making this review real short. Not a lot to talk about here except the title for my review.

PROS:

1. Gumby is a rock creature.

2. A bunch of beauty contest winners from around the world play the female moon maidens.

3. The man who built the spaceship was from the moon and on an earth expedition. He built the ship to return to the moon...hmmmm, not the worst idea I ever hear.

4. He doesn't make it...hmmm. He was the only one who wanted to go.

5. Hand made and somewhat funny looking spiders "...the dark ones..."
inhabit a cave. I'm not sure but I think when the first one is shown and it is crawling over some rocks to get at somebody--one of its legs might have fallen off. They only have two eyes, somewhat human like and one of the eyes--I think it was the left one--is crossed.

six. Oh yes, did you know on the moon you only have to wear a flightsuit, helmet, gloves, oxygen and mask?

7. The real evil female, who kills her queen, is really trying to over act a bit, look close at her face.

CONS:

1. Suffers from a lack of most things in big and little amounts. More money, a little better acting, a few hundred or thousands of dollars, spacesuit props, a little bit faster gumby monster--I think I spelled that right.

If you have never seen this movie it will be worth a quick look with the proper amount of pop corn, no hot dogs needed this time. You only need a dog when things are getting serious. For those of you who liked Rocketship X-M this one is going to be a little bit of a let down. Nevertheless, I do recommend this retro movie with a three star rating.
It just barely got the third star. So why did I give it? Well, I do like these old movies...I've never seen one I didn't like at least one star worth, and it is raining outside, and I'm bored stiff.

So, all in all, if you're collecting
