Mini-Review: i put this movie off for about two years because i always wanted to save buster's greatest triumph for last (or close to it), so i suppose that it would be impossible to live up to that kind of anticipation, but in spite of that i fail to see the raves and the high regard of this movie. do yourself a favor and put your money on sherlock jr. that movie trumps this by a mile
Mini-Review: one more installment of the whole paper thin robots blow crap up thing, which, while it has enough explosions, isn't going to satisfy any higher function than that. you like things go boom? yeah, meeeee too.
Mini-Review: at first look bogey seems pretty out of place here, but over the course of the movie he pulls it off quite well. the writing on the other hand, leaves much to be desired.
Mini-Review: this one was massively misrepresented in the trailers, but there's still some stuff worth watching even if it is wholly different from what one would expect and makes no attempt to shed any light on the topic. i could have cared less about the french chick, but the other two leads were pretty stand up.
Mini-Review: an early hammer horror flick and an awesome one at that. the revamped monster makeup is pretty impressive and the story is awesome, even if it follows very closely to son of frankenstein. i didn't find it scary, and victor frankenstein was a douche, but cushing made it work anyway.
Mini-Review: it's not scary in any way, and all the good kills are done within the first half hour, after that there's basically nothing here worth watching. i did dig the whole ending bit though, you know where he "saves" the chick.
Mini-Review: it's pretty boring, and the end was pretty retarded, but i'm cutting it some slack because of it's standing in the timeline of vampire movies. i also give it a plus for lugosi and barrymore.
Mini-Review: for being a bit simplistic and having some very bad acting i found this movie to be very watchable. i could have done without that whole speech at the end, and some of the exposition dragged, but i can see why this is on so many lists.
Mini-Review: i've had little to no taste for the majority of the tarzan movies, but apparently once you make him speak english and give him an IQ higher than seventy he turns out to be a proper hero. i was also pleasantly surprised to see connery in this movie, had no idea he was in it.
Mini-Review: the cicrus has some great gags, but ultimately it suffers from the fact that chaplin put basically zero planning into it before starting. i for one really appreciated the song at the beginning sung by chaplin himself, but as a whole this could have been a lot better.
