The Fly
David Cronenberg's 1986 remake of the science fiction classic about a scientist who accidentally swaps body parts with a fly is both smart and terrifying: an allegory for the awful processes of slow death and a monster movie with a tragic spin. Jeff Goldblum gives a masterful performance as a sweet, nerdy scientist whose romance with a writer (Geena Davis) makes him more fully alive. Next thing you know, a tiny oversight in an experiment causes him to transmogrify, gradually, into something more like an insect than a human. This is Cronenberg (Scanners, Videodrome) country, so expect The Fly to be a gross-out, but in the way that disease corrupts the body and can make a loved one unrecognizable on every level. This is one of Cronenberg's best films, and certainly one of the important movies of the 1980s. --Tom Keogh
The Fly II
Chris Walas, the effects whiz who turned Jeff Goldblum into the gooey, grotesque Brundle-Fly in David Cronenberg's The Fly, makes his directorial debut in this equally icky sequel. Eric Stoltz is Brundle's genetically diseased offspring, a boy genius brought up in an experimental laboratory by a nefarious foster father eager to see what his inevitable metamorphosis will bring. No surprise here: like father, like son. Daphne Zuniga is his sweet young girlfriend, and John Getz reprises his role from the first film as a bitter alcoholic with a very bad fake beard. This cut- rate "Son of the Fly" knockoff pales next to Cronenberg's classic, degenerating into a gory revenge flick. Walas strains under a limited budget, and many of the more elaborate creatures (a monstrously mutated dog, the skeletal fly monster leaping about the warehouse-like lab) are rather shabby. The makeup is suitably gooey, slathered in ooze and pus, and the mayhem-filled finale is a nasty but impressive over-the-top frenzy of blood and gore climaxing in the nastiest piece of poetic justice since Freaks. The opening birth scene (with a look-alike subbing for mom Geena Davis) is an homage to Larry Cohen's It's Alive. --Sean Axmaker

Awesome movies!.......2007-02-21
These movies were just great, and brought back warm memories of my childhood. I was actually surprised to learn that I seemed to enjoy Fly 2 more than the first, even though it didn't even star Jeff Goldblum! Regardless, this is the movie you need to buy if you love sci-fi thrillers. The plot definitely is not disappointing!
SON OF THE FLY!.......2006-11-15
Okay, so David Cronenberg wasn't the director behind the sequal. Knowing that, one might not have high expectations twords any of his sequals. Cronenberg is a Horror master who has made some of the best movies to ever come from the scene. SCANNERS, VIDEODROME, Stephen King's THE DEAD ZONE, THE BROOD and A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE are just to name a few. His movies have a dark and evil quality to them, something that sticks with you for many days after watching one of his films. Like I was saying before, knowing that Cronenberg didn't direct the sequal to his classic remake of THE FLY might make people jump to conclusions. With all due respect to David Cronenberg, I'm willing to put my expectations aside and watch the sequal for what it is. THE FLY II is nothing more than a big budget, over the top, 1980's Horror movie sequal. The movie came out in the late 80's (1989 if I'm not mistaken), a time where Horror movie sequals were expected no matter what. Instead of Cronenberg directing the sequal, we have the special effects artist of the first remake stepping up to the plate. Personally I think this was a wise choice considering it makes the two movies look and feel the same. It's a small detail that really helps this sequal flow well from the Cronenberg classic. I always thought the special effects of the first movie were beyond horrifying. It's safe to say the sequal follows in the same foot steps in terms of nasty gore. THE FLY II starts out with a rather nice Horror birth scene (another actor playing the role of Geena Davis, I guess they couldn't get her back for the sequal) that sets up the brooding atmosphere of the entire movie. After the opening credits, the movie moves smoothly through the rather slim plot details and never once becomes boring. It's the perfect sequal to the original remake that dosn't try to become better than the first. THE FLY II seems to know it's place (being a close second to the first) and gives the Horror fans what they want to see. Horrible death scenes, nasty mutations, buckets of blood and lets not forget a healthy dose of revenge for the kicker! It's a sequal with "bite" and if you understand all the movie changes compared to the first one (different directors, different actors), it becomes a very enjoyable experiance. When it comes down to Horror movie sequals, I believe there are two kinds that can be made. The first kind is a well intended, big budget, carefully crafted sequal. I personally feel that THE FLY II was handled with care and respect when looking back to the first classic remake by Cronenberg. The other type of Horror movie sequals are cheap, thrown together, rushed, unexpected movies that don't respect the fans or the original. Thankfully, THE FLY II dosn't fall into that catagory and actually is a good Horror film. Gore hounds will be pleased to see tons of nasty gore and wicked special effects! The ending of the movie is a perfect example of how the 1980's Horror movie scene was done. Tons of latex, tons of blood and a nice little revenge twist to boot! Give THE FLY II a chance and expect nothing when watching it. Fans of movies such as THE THING and THE BLOB (1980's remake) have much to enjoy here! Incase your one of those "stuck up" viewers, I'll give you some advice before you watch this movie. Put aside your cocky opinion, stop thinking about the first movie, kick back, enjoy the gore and have fun! Who knows, you might actually enjoy yourself for once!
The first was good,but the sequel was a stinker........2006-08-19
I love The Fly.It happens to be one of my favorite science-fiction films of all time.The film is about an eager scientist named Seth Brundle,who has built a teleportation device,although he can't really transport living things yet.When he lets Veronica,a reporter,in on his secret,she begins an affair with him.Soon,Seth is tired of failing at the telepods and tranports himself through it.But there is one small mistake:A fly was transported with him,so the two are now spliced together.Slowly,Seth begins to change,in both features and behaviour.Soon,Veronica knows that something is wrong when Seth's hair and body parts begin to fall off.Soon,Seth realizes the terrible truth:That he is turning into a fly.Soon,he is able to crawl along walls,regurgitate on his food,and spit acid just like a real fly.At the end,when he fully transforms,he decides to use the telporters to blend him and Veronica together when he learns that Veronica is pregnant with his baby.In the end,Veronica blows his head off with a shotgun.The Fly II,however,stunk beyond belief.The film covers the birth of Seth's son,Martin,who grows exceptionally fast and is kept at a medical building called Bartok Industries,where he learns that an evil boss has stolen his father's transporters and is trying to find out how to use them.Soon,Martin is all grown up and is given a room of his own,away from prying eyes.He immediatly sets to work trying to get his father's machine to work,and soon succeeds.But there is hitch.He has inherited his father's gift of transformation,and soon,he begins to mutate.He then breaks out of Bartok industries with a collegue friend and seeks shelter as the transformation gets worse.Soon,he returns to Bartok in a coccoon,where he is studied and analyzed.Soon,he breaks free and wreaks havoc in Bartok,killing all of it's employees and finally,giving Bartok the punishment he deserves.The film was a definite bomb compared to the first.You'll love this DVD,though.
Dire.......2006-07-31
As I write this, 'The Fly' has a 2-disc collector's edition within the public's reach. Basically, that makes this purchase downright wrong.
'The Fly 2', despite clearly having energy invested in it, is a disgrace. Everything shamefully pales in comparison to the original; direction, cinematography, set design, acting (of course), score. Basically every element that makes a film is downgraded about, say, eighteen levels with this sequel. There are a few scenes that work on their own (a horribly mutated dog painfully crawling to a bowl of mush moved me a good deal, surprisingly, and wasn't ineptly conceived like most the other scenes in the running time, also providing a parallel to a pretty great final scene (again out of the blue). Overall, though, this movie is a terrible mistake.
'The Fly', to me, is a masterpiece of modern cinema (though flawed, like most), and '2' should have never been greenlit. Nothing original comes about in the storyline or subtext, so it's essentially like watching a butchered, amateur version of a classic. That is, before the film succumbs to a pathetic attempt at a B-grade monster flick. I'm talking made-for-TV quality... and mediocre TV quality at that... You'd think, given the director of this sequel was the mad genius behind the special effects in Cronenberg's film, we'd at least bare witness to some impressive (if superficial) aesthetics. But, what I've learned so much in comparing these two films -- and what's truly a learning experience that, the more I think about it, the more important a realization it really is -- lighting and the creation of appropriate ambience is just as critical as anything in any given film. Seriously -- and I mean this -- the few moments where Goldblum, with his ever-growing bug eyes, gives his 'Insect Politics' speech and stares into the gleeming blue sky with a horrifying sense of wonder, are worth infinitely more than the near two hour runtime of this dead on arrival monster. In that particular scene -- despite Goldblum's mesmerizing performance and an unforgettable monologue -- the stunning fly transformation effects, combined with particular shades of breathtakingly dramatic color selections and a pulsating, melancholy twilight bring out of its audience powerful emotions few films can grasp. You can have the most talented, brilliant special effects crew in the world, but without the elements I mentioned, they just come across as cheap and, quite frankly -- in the case of 'The Fly 2' -- ghastfully bad.
Avoid it entirely. It's not even worth it as an act of sheer curiosity. Then again, the knowledge I personally derived described above is pretty invaluable -- though, granted, this is a guy who has only taken the most trivial of film classes. But, if there's 'any' reason to bring it into your home, that's gotta be it.
"It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success.".......2006-06-08
"A man will rise,
A man will fall,
From the sheer face of love,
Like a fly from a wall.
It's no secret at all."-The Fly, U2
There were three men who wanted to prove they each were the best swordsman in the land. The three were gathered in front of a large crowd to showcase their skill. On the first swordsman's turn, he saw a fly, took one swipe, and cut the fly in half. The second swordsman got up, saw another fly, made two swipes, and cut the fly in four quarters. The third swordsman got up, saw another fly, took one swipe, and the fly flew away leaving the third swordsman with a big smile on his face. Everyone said, "Why are you smiling? The fly is still alive." The swordsman said, "Yes, but he'll never be able to have children."
I wish somebody had stopped the first fly from having any children, then none of us would have been subjected to this movie's sequel.
It's not bad, which is why I gave it three stars, but it's just inferior, like 98% of most sequels.
Here was Eric Stoltz before every role he played in was sleazy in some way (Murder of Crows, The Butterfly Effect, The Honeymooners). I'm not too crazy about him or Daphne Zuniga. I didn't even like her in Melrose Place...but anyway.
Okay for a late night thrill, I guess.

Great for home or school.......2004-11-28
I have this collection and collection 1 and both are invaluable at home with my son who is 10 and likes to "play" in the DVD and for school in my Kindergarten class. Read the books to your children first and see how excited they get when they can watch the book. The addition of great readers and music really brings the stories alive. But remember, they don't take the place of you reading to your child every night!

Timeless Truth for Kids (and their Parents).......2007-02-20
Each Hermie and Friends DVD contains timeless truths for both children and their parents. Flo the Lyin' Fly, as the title suggests, shows the importance of telling the truth at a level that young children can understand. It is a story that resonates with their little hearts.
In this video, Flo' is a fly who wants to be liked and thinks that she has to embellish the truth, fabricate elaborate stories, for her friends to like her. She learns though that not telling the truth can get you into trouble as the lies add up. She discovers that others don't want to be around someone who lies. In the end, she discovers the problem with lying, seeks forgiveness from her friends and gains their trust.
Parents can use this video as a teaching tool about lying and the importance of telling the truth; because truth matters and it is knowable.
Great Video.......2006-03-24
This is a wonderful video. My toddler requests to watch this movie over and over. Picture quality is great and the message hits home.
Even better than the first Hermie video.......2005-08-30
This DVD is hilariously funny, has a wonderful story line and awesome music by Third Day! Vicky Lawrence brings this character to life and captivates my kids with Flo's antics. I even still like it after the 100th time my son asks to watch it.
Teaches the importance of telling the truth and reinforces Christian values.
No lyin' here!.......2005-06-18
Our son absolutley LOVES this DVD!! He is 2 and a half, and he understands the concept and especially loves the bright colors and the music. He watches it over and over. My husband and I like the fact that kids can be entertained and learn a lesson at the same time. We would definitely recommend this one!
Great Video.......2004-06-18
My son loved this video. He can watch it over and over. This is a great video on lying. I would purchase it for others as a gift. The quality of the video is great. This is one of his best videos.

o Danish (Dolby Digital 5.1) Synopsis: A man is torn between love, family, and a responsibility he does not want in this drama. Christoffer (Ulrich Thomsen) used to work for his family's steel company, but when the stress of the job began taking a serious toll on his health, he left the firm and now happily runs a restaurant in Stockholm and is married to Maria (Lisa Werlinder), a lovely and promising stage actress. At the urging of his father, Christoffer flies to Denmark for a family visit, only to discover upon arrival that his dad has just killed himself. Christoffer quickly discovers why: the steel business is on the verge of collapse and his mother (Ghita Nørby) urges him to take over rather than let his brother-in-law Ulrik (Lars Brygmann) assume control. Christoffer reluctantly agrees, but before long, his decision begins to drive a wedge between himself and Maria, while his difficulty in reviving the failing business forces him to deal honestly with his employees in a manner he's not accustomed to, as well as dealing with the uncomfortable points of corporate power. Arven (aka The Inheritance) is the second part of a trilogy by director Per Fly on the three primary social classes, following his 2000 debut Bænken.

The Inheritance.......2006-06-27
This is one of the most powerful movies I have seen in a long time. It has far more depth than anything I've recently seen out of Hollywood. Per Fly, the Danish writer and director, is clearly doing something right that others should pay attention to. This is how movies should be, so full and complete that you believe you are watching real life unfold, not some make believe story from a bored script writer. I'm determined to find and view the other films of Per Fly.

Well, this story is about three of his descendents (a son, Henri Delambre, played by Brian Donlevy and two grandsons). Seems the son wants to continue and perfect the machine while his two sons want to get out of the scientist business and live 'normal' lives. The oldest son, Martin, decides to take a wife (who just happens to have escaped from a mental hospital after her parents died). Martin's father is not happy with this intrusion but finally gives in because he understands him son's needs. They all try to be a happy family until humans used in botched experiments are discovered by the new bride and the police nearly discover the lab while looking for Martin's wife. Everyone tries to get out of there via the transporter but things just don't go according to plan ... SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu,
Customer Reviews:
Fun sci-fi for a rainy afternoon.......2006-09-14
This British-made sequel to the original Fly movies starts off slowly, but picks up pace. A man and a woman meet on the road to Montreal, fall in love, and are soon married: She neglects to tell him she has just escaped from a mental asylum; he neglects to tell her he is engaged in highly dangerous experiments in teleportation; fun ensues.
There are mutants, fantastic machines and scares here and there, so it's not bad. Director Don Sharp (The Kiss of the Vampire, Face of Fu Manchu, The 39 Steps) can usually be trusted to deliver a good time.
