Ultraviolet (2006)
i was quite amused
17 September 2006
I really can't follow all people that say this movie is bad. Its simple amusement and even tries to deliver a social message to give miss violet some sort of motive for her actions. That said i'll have to concur with a lot of people that the movie is flawed when it comes to actionscenes or good story but hey go and watch bloodrayne if you want to complain about a movie(and i think even that movie has his share of fans) Didn't know who made this movie when i watched it, and i thought they stole quite some stuff from other flics like equilibrium and the matrix, and lost a lot of action material in the editing room. Well now i know why it looked so much like equilibrium(sigh). I still think it was a lot of fun to watch Violet and it doesn't deserve the title worst movie ever.

Serenity (2005)
10/10
Excellent movie
12 January 2006
I wish the would make a TV series out of this!! Just kidding...he he...but really,i still don't understand why great shows always get canceled!??Does anyone have a clue?? This movie was everything i expected and much more. The cast is perfect and the story is solid. Its one big adventure loaded with action, and while there are some predictable turns in this feature, you still can't wait for them to happen. If for some strange reason you never have watched the "Firefly" episodes, then you will want to see them after this movie and hope just like me and a lot of other people, some network,will restart the show or make a few more features like Serenity

Villa Rides (1968)
6/10
not great but fun to watch
18 December 2005
I saw this movie long ago and still remember it well enough to place a comment, so its not to bad. Westerns are my favorite movies but that's doesn't mean i like them all, i like the shootist with John Wayne but think that most Wayne movies are not that good....this one with Brynner, Bronson and Mitchum is just plain and simple a Hollywood fabrication and fun to watch,especially Bronson as Fierro. He portrays the very hard merciless right-hand of villa,(and comes up with some very nice inventions). All and all i think its time they should release it on DVD so i could add it to my collection and watch it again after so many years

'Doc' (1971)
1/10
just plain bad
18 October 2005
This movie indeed skips the epic parts that made Wyatt Earp and his pals famous,but other than that its a total fabrication or even worse, a bad attempt to falsify history. I know that Mr.Earp wasn't a very nice guy and doc holliday, sick as he was, had nothing to lose anyway so he for sure was a dangerous one. But in this movie he is a nice guy that even befriends the enemy.... (don't make me laugh)...and even worse, he draws his gun on Wyatt Earp! Was this director on drugs or did he wish the story would have been this way? I watched this movie stunned and couldn't believe what i saw.... If you want to see what really happened then go watch tombstone or Wyatt Earp, those are the closest thing to the truth as far as it gets. And forget the hero stuff around it, cause the thing is heroes are made by others and none of those men where close to being one, they just where on a collision course and the whole drama was unavoidable. Just think what would have happened had they lost the gunfight???

Jeremiah (2002–2004)
again a very free adaptation!!!!
28 September 2004
They should not have called this Jeremiah, because it has

nothing to do with the characters from the comic from Herman Huppen!! And the storyline is a very creative free adaptation from the original comic albums. Jeremiah is not a bad show but if they would have stayed with

the original stories, it would have been so much better!! If you ever have read one of the original comics you know what

i'm talking about. And what about the cast?????? Jeremiah is sort of an naive hick in the comics who's getting a lesson on how to survive by a skinny red haired,very dangerous boy-Kurdy Malloy, after a war erupts in the states between the white and the black population. The war is finished with a nuclear holocaust,and then the story starts. But if the relation between blacks and whites where bad before, they are even worse after the war....so why is kurdy malloy in this show a black guy???? Well is has probably something to do with being politically correct. If they would have named this different, i would have gone for it, but i am sorry to say right now its a waste of my time.

Hero (2002)
what's all the fuzz about???
11 September 2004
Let me start by saying that its an okay movie but nothing out of the ordinary. Around 1974 there were thousands of movies like this in the cinemas and people like me who went to see them were something like freaks for watching those crazy movies were people flew trough the air and jumped over buildings!! Now suddenly these things are cinematographic masterpieces....... Well it was fun to watch them back then and its still fun to watch them today. But lets stay realistic, there's nothing extraordinary about this movie or all the others like this.......Bruce Lee was yes and Jacky Chan still is with his comic relief routine. The fight scenes always look nice in films like this but has nothing to do with real life combat,even in those days! All in all its still nice entertainment,just go watch it!

The Village (2004)
3/10
Dead in its trail
7 September 2004
If you have seen the trailers,you will expect a suspense movie with some horror in it or at least something that will keep you

on the edge of your seat. I'm sorry to say that for me there's nothing like that to find in this movie. Sure,it's beautifully shot and they create a very nice atmosphere..... indeed its the perfect setting for a love story and that's what it is. Oh if only there would have been something supernatural in this movie, or some creatures in the woods surrounding the village....indeed if only!!!! The only supernatural thing I could find is the fact that the village and the surrounding woods seems to be cut of from the world by a big wall,at least judging by the fact that the blind girl Ivy Walker has to climb her way out of the woods over a wall and back in with a ladder?????????????? And of course she is lend a helping hand by a nice wildlife guard"Kevin"! Who must be thinking that he just walked into a nutcase escaped from Gothika or something like that but helps her anyway. Its not a bad story nor a bad movie but it don't deliver its promise. the storyline keeps on dragging all the way to the end and then suddenly there is the twist and the plot..........what plot again???? Against better judgment, you keep hoping that something will happen to make this movie special,but nothing will!! To bad but this is not a keeper in my books!

ready for the trilogy
20 August 2004
I can't understand all the crap that people say about this movie.... Its plain and simple; you do not like it?,don't watch it. I for one think it was a great spectacle with everything you want in sci-fi! And what's all that b.lls..t about the computer graphics.....they

looked great and didn't harm the movie in any way,and if anyone out there keeps crying that they did,then those people shouldn't watch any sci-fi movie at all,because every one of them is loaded with them!! (And not only sci-fi for that matter.) Most of the time I watch movies just to enjoy them and I watch all kind of movies ,good and bad,and I watch a lot of them. And i always look for the good thing in movies. Of course it may happen that a movie is disappointing or below standard but unless its total crap like "Bleuberry" I have most of the

time a positive outlook on them. I think they did an excellent job with ,The Chronicles Of Riddick and Vin Diesel is great to,so what he's no Shakespeare actor.... thats not what we're looking for anyways...We want the killer from Pitch Black and that's what we get!!! And the minute this one comes to DVD,it will be in my collection and I can't wait for the third one to hit the cinema's

Renegade (2004)
1/10
no Bleuberry at all
22 June 2004
The only similarity between the comic and the movie is the title; Bleuberry!! The actor portraying Bleuberry is the exact opposite of the lead character in the comic and while the comic plays in the civil war,this story plays in??????????....Whatever!! There are some nice visual effects in this otherwise third rate western,but its one big peyote trip from the start.I am a big western fan and own all of the bleuberry comics but (to my regret), just like "Jeremiah" they raped the comic in a bad way. It would be nice if somebody just for once took a comic and followed the storyline, because that would be so easy in the case of Bleuberry and Jeremiah.
