Typically I am on the fence about JJ Abrams films. He's a hit or miss director/producer/writer…

4/5. A more violent version of E.T., this movie is still a lot of fun and has some really great performances…

I would rather have watched a movie that simply revolved around the kids making their film project...Everything else is insufferable…

There's something different in this Spielberg/Abrams collaboration. You feel captivated, but at the same time, you feel very thrilled…

Not impressed. In theaters, when it ended, a man nearby said, HUH! really loudly, like he didn't quite get the point of the movie. I felt the same…

Its got the feel of an old 80's movie or series, kind of like Stranger Things. Elle Fanning is cute and the boys are pretty funny…

I loved this movie, kinda of a throwback to the to the good old days of monster movies. Joel Courtney was a standout…

Review of Caught in a Cabaret (1914)

By Mark S (2,772) on 17 Jul 2009

A largely unfunny bit of slapstick fighting, with Charlie as a mostly unlikable, rambunctious waiter who seems ready to fight at all times…

Review of The Accountant (2001)

By Caesar B (203) on 15 Oct 2016

I cannot, in fact, call this a good short film. The only thing that made me chuckle in this dreary black comedy was the Sling Blade bit…

Review of India: Kingdom of the Tiger (2002)

By Ross Anthony (612) for Hollywood Report Card (612) on 30 May 2003

What I remember most from the film is the narrative, not the visuals…

Review of Carne (1991)

By Zhanyi J (167) on 10 Jul 2011

Hard to watch, but not for disturbing sense. For me, it's the incoherent story telling…
