Loved it!
13 January 2009
I liked Bender's Big Score, but after a 2nd viewing I think most of the enjoyment was from just seeing new Futurama material... all in all it was pretty average. The Beast With a Billion Backs on the other hand had me in stitches many, many times and when it wasn't hilarious, it had such an interesting sci-fi story going on that it made up for it. The payoff was great and definitely had me geared up for the next movie. I think the overall quality of writing was much better this time compared to BBS. That one felt like three episodes stitched together with a "meh" ending, while this one never let up. There were so many classic lines and scenes I was ready to watch it again the next night.

Don't listen to the negative reviews, this one is definitely worth watching.

Is it real or is just a hallucination?
5 January 2002
I wish to god it was just a hallucination because then I wouldn't have to wake up to night sweats thinking about how horrible this movie was. This would have been a great movie if it werent for the pointless plot, the unreal amounts of stock footage, the incessant plodding of the narrator (yes! a narrator!), the lies on the back of the box, the acting and basically the entire production value. As of this review, this movie isnt on the worst 100 list, but it should be... it should be.

So if you're reading this ... go get the mighty jungle!! Did I mention that it's actually funny at some points? Not really 'haha, that guy said something funny' funny, but more like 'I have to laugh to relieve the pressure that's mounting on the inside of my head' funny. So rent and enjoy!!!

Just get me to the end of this film. (spoilers/savers within)
16 November 2001
Warning: Spoilers
What can I say about this film other than "don't see it". I waited and waited and WAITED for someting (or anything) to happen and it just didn't come. Watch amazingly as two people walk around while setting the record for most filler screen time in a single movie. What are they doing? Are they solving a mystery? Are they gathering clues? Possibly, it's just hard to tell. At the end of the movie, after a lot of radio signals are decoded (illegibly on some sort of PET monitor) and this guy gives some lectures, the plot is finally revealed and tossed aside as quickly as possible. Some aliens want to get back to their home world utopia and are so happy there that they want to blow up the earth (I guess they don't like sharing the wealth). My guess is they finished filming and saw their 35 minute work or art (garbage!) and decided that they'd let the editing crew turn it into an 88 minute feature film. Watch at your own peril, it's not even funny because it's so bad, it's just bad.

Hide and Seek (1984 TV Movie)

If this was 1977, imagine what computers can do now!!
7 November 2001
After watching this movie, I realized how little I actually knew about computers. Did you know that some computer programs can listen in on your phone converstaions and analyze your voice? It's true! The computer can then later talk to you. It's very important that the program be able to understand english though. The one in the movie can, so it's very easy to follow the converstaions they have with it.

Computer programs can do other things too like break into most of the worlds computers, think for themselves, transfer as much money as you'd like into your bank account or even figure out how to convert themselves into a molecular form! The thing I really like about this movie is that all these things are done by the same program. A high school kid writes it for fun so he must be SUPER smart. Not smart enough to skip through high school though.

I really enjoyed this movie. Movies these days tend to be a lot less realistic, so it's no surprise that I had to go back to 1977 to find one that appealed to me. I tried to give this movie a 0 out of 10, but the IMDB voting system wouldnt let me, so I had to settle for a 1, go figure.

Why the movie industry will suck forever
26 July 2000
This is truly one of the scariest films of all time. The scariest part being when it made about 800 billion dollars at the box office and some of the people (who actually WATCHED THE ENTIRE movie) enjoyed it.

The more intelligent the viewer who watches this movie (full viewing is not needed) the more likely one will be to kill themselves immediately upon leaving the theatre. I would imagine that Stephen Hawkings head would simply explode as soon as the opening credits started. I would also imagine that someone like Charlton Heston would clap gleefully throughout, while collecting a lap full of drool the whole while.

I would mention all of the holes in the plot line and every scene where the trillion to one odds are defied, but the good people at IMDb limit the length of these reviews.

The portion of the movie where the world gets pummelled with laser beams is well done (graphically and acoustically) but the rest of the film does an ever higher quality job of making you wish you were dead (see 2nd paragraph).

I just kept waiting to see Jeff Goldblum put his Microsoft Alien Virus '97 CD into the drive before uploading into the (strangely compatible) alien computer system (cough - from his laptop).

So I rated this movie 2/10, and the only reason it didn't get 0 (or less) was because of the somewhat entertaining special effects.
