Zmovies Run Hide Fight
What this movie is about? The story of a liar who lives a lying world then finds truth finally? A lover man who's torn between 2 different women? The friendship of 3 guys? Actually the movie itself doesn't know otherwise it could've been more coherent, enjoyable and complete.

OK, it's a story of a man who sells everything until he himself becomes a merchandise to be sold. And as a romance, supposedly romance !, the movie pushes this lead to learn about himself as lost person without real love in his life. BUT this movie so lousily sinks itself in a lot of details, un-comic characters, many conversations before hitting the right nerve.

It was too late for (Halle Berry) to discover that she loves (Eddie Murphy) or that he loves her; it seemed a desperate attempt for making a third act more than being the movie's main core for god's sake!

Not to mention, the matter of so ugly (Robin Givens) on screen, portraying a femme fatale as well ??!! The inhumanly dreadful sight of (Grace Jones) who's one of a few emetic people I've watched in my entire life. The long conversations scenes which with the tepid, nearly dead, direction so the truly dull pace the whole thing looked close to pointless for most of the time. Many characters like (the mail-boy "Chris Rock", the mad model, the French artistic director, the old-deceived neighbor, the friend's parents, or even the annoying employee of the clothes storeÂ…) all of them took more time on the screen than what the original story, any original story, did take or should've taken.

I pitied the charming and talented young (Berry). Although, she was a perfect princess of innocence, but this dumb script and that endless digressions wasted her utterly. The movie didn't give her space to appear right, or to appear right as someone would love the lead (she advised him how to seduce her boss by Jazz !?). I think that it must've been clear to her, so somehow us, how she got something for him from the very start, and how she must take over the screen at least since the second half. Instead of that they threw some real naive stuff to her (like the clueless first dialog between her and Murphy), and treated her like minor character (the heroine's sidekick) all along to suddenly remember her just before the very end! Although the intense performance that she delivered at the scene of her emotional explosion was the best, most strong anything, of this movie.. still one of the worst movies she was in!

After many hits in the field of action and comedy, why not (Eddie Murphy) takes on romance. It was a bold attempt. Yes, he's a good actor along with being big star, but the movie wasn't that good (the word is : broken up). I think it got something with (Murphy) himself as the story's writer, and maybe his fear that the movie could be just romance without comedy, to end up as jammed comedy with not-real-laughs that belated the romance if not suffocated it. I loved a few of his moments here; on their top of course is the shot in which he finds the money for his "fatigue" besides the bed from his female version who's now treating him like a whore, notice how Murphy – silently – pulls the sheets on his chest, sad with weak feminine look in his eyes; actually with wicked little reactions he mastered like these, he's one of few comedians who can make comedy brilliantly with or without talking.

Anyhow, it seemed like many incomplete movies in one, or boring stray comedy. I know that it could've been nice romantic comedy but what I've watched was an ideal example for underdeveloped one or a movie with dysfunctional personality. I read opinions about (Boomerang) as "smart movie"Â… please, it's anything but smart!

P.S : at one scene (when the lead was being dumped) we see the lights go off at the top of one skyscraper. At later scene (when the lead hugs his friends) we see the lights go on at the same skyscraper !??... Naaa.. Don't bother, it's part of this movie's naivety !

Zmovies The Marksman
I was gonna give this a 6/10. But made it a 7/10.

Now, what can I say about this? Well, the beginning was intriguing and great. I knew there was good potential for this to be the greatest winter anime of 2016! I was hooked and binge watched all the episodes that were released! (I didn't watch when it released, only when there were 5 episodes available at the time and I loved it.) And barely any show can do that to me!

I'm working on my own thing currently and I made time for this show. There were so many things going great! Until episode 10 came along. Not gonna spoil anything, but if you were to watch it? And yeah, you should. But personally? No. The ship didn't sink, but no doubt it was damaged. (A methapor to saying it had a good start until that episode, just to clarify that. And might mean something else too now that I think about it. But a ship that totally sunk. Now that's a spoiler.)

Anyway, I thought they were gonna do something around episode 11 and it didn't happen the way I wanted. But granted, episode 11 was intriguing and it seemed like the first episode? Dunno. It strangely made me feel like there was more to go on is what I'm trying to say, but we are nearing the end and I know it won't be good since I have the feeling that it could've been longer and done better.

So, episode 12 happens and there you have it. Now, some might not like what happened from then on. (Just like me.) But I gotta say? It wasn't that bad. You may feel mixed around episode 10 or maybe 9 for that matter, but I suggest you should watch it if there isn't anything good on and you haven't watched it.

Regarding the ending too. (This is for those who watched the show.) Some of you that may have not liked it. But it sort of adds realism. This isn't a fairy tale or fantasy even though it has elements. This show was going for that realism and sadly they failed in my opinion. And you might agree too. But I would love to see that more and rightfully done in future stories. May it be in a book/TV show/movie or whatever.

Zmovies Horizon Line
While not one of my favourite movies of all time, Scavenger Hunt is one that I do consider very underrated. The ending is predictable sure and some people may find some parts too on the cruel side. But the backdrop is lovely and it does look good still. While the story has a premise done a lot before and since and may feel thin to some, I personally found it never dull. If I were to compare it to It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World(which I've seen a lot of people comparing it to), which I do like very much, Scavenger Hunt is a lot shorter and the pace brisker, so first-time viewers of both movies may find themselves less exhausted-feeling depending on their patience levels watching this. I do agree that Scavenger Hunt is hilarious, the dialogue is plentiful, endlessly quotable and often enough to split the sides though you may be in danger of missing things from laughing. It isn't just the dialogue though, Cloris Leachman in 3-inch heels, Georgie's nasal whining("They killed Buzzy"), the laughing gas scene, the four servants overflowing the lab with suds, Scatman Crothers with the wedding veil and Richard Mulligan's priceless facial expression, James Coco trying to rob the market and the toilet-stealing scene are enough to raise a number of laughs. The cast show great comic timing and have plenty of star power. I personally don't think this is a case of a great cast working against the script. And this is not just the main parts(James Coco, Richard Benjamin, Stephanie Faracy and Scatman Crothers stood out), but also the cameos especially from Arnold Schwarznegger and Vincent Price. All in all, a hilarious and underrated if not perfect or award-worthy movie. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Zmovies Born a Champion
`Real Women Have Curves' feels a bit like a modern ethnic version of `Georgy Girl,' featuring a free-spirited young woman named Ana who doesn't quite fit the mold of what society believes a woman should look like.

Ana is a somewhat `overweight' high school senior living in East LA who has dreams of being the first person in her family to go to college. Her parents, however, have other plans for her life, which basically involve marriage, motherhood and a job working in her older sister's dress factory. Ana faces the struggle common to many young people who happen to be first-generation Americans: should she conform to the old-fashioned customs and traditions of her family or should she set out to make it on her own with all the advantages and opportunities available to people in this society? `Real Women Have Curves' avoids becoming a culture clash cliché through its keen observation of the minutiae of everyday life. Unlike most films, `Real Women' actually explores the day-to-day struggles of the working class in this country. The people in this film worry about whether or not they will be able to make a go of their businesses, whether or not their bills will get paid, whether or not a promising young student will be allowed to go to college and make something of herself or just end up as a cog in the system that absorbs so many of the underclass. It's these slice-of-life details that make the film interesting.

Ana's main foil is her own mother, who believes not only that her daughter is overweight and, thereby, ruining her chances to make an acceptable marriage, but that she must forego college in order to help with the family business. The majority of the conflict in the film occurs between these two women, both equally hardheaded, moody and determined to get what they want. America Ferrara as Ana, Lupe Ontiveras as her mother and Ingrid Oliu as Estela, her hardworking, levelheaded sister, create characters who are believable, subtle and instantly recognizable. Writers Josefina Lopez and George LaVoo have a sharp ear for the way people actually speak. Director Patricia Cardoso doesn't try to impress us with fancy camera angles or clever cutting. Instead, she lets the story develop naturally, allowing us to eavesdrop on a milieu that may seem strange to some of us. Cardoso knows full well that the universal nature of what she is showing us will draw us into the story and these characters' lives. It's nice, too, to see a film in which the young people are spending their time trying to get into good colleges instead of indulging in all the high school hijinks and hoopla we usually see in more mainstream movies these days.

True, the movie does sacrifice some of its verisimilitude by trying a bit too hard to be a `feel good' experience. One occasionally senses a certain straining for the upbeat moral message, as when Ana convinces her coworkers to strip down to their undies in the factory as a statement about how women should not be ashamed of their bodies just because they aren't a size six. But the film more than makes up for that in the unconventional way in which it treats Ana's departure from her mother at the end.

`Real Women Have Curves' is a small movie but a universal one.

Zmovies Outside the Wire
I was not especially interested in watching this after seeing the ads. Not for any specific reason - it just didn't grab my attention. But I more-or-less stumbled across it one evening while channel-surfing, and just loved it right from the word go. The show is funny, well-acted and endearing - with slight reminiscences of Adrian Mole's diary from the 80s. Thanks to SBS and Ben Law - one of the best comedies I've seen in a while!

Zmovies One Night in Miami
So I watched Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol last night, the one thing I really noticed here on IMDb is that the ratings just keep going down after each movie. But I still wanted to see them and judge for myself, I loved the first Police Academy, the second and third are cheesy, but they were fun still. Now onto Citizens on Patrol, I honestly liked this film, I know it was cheesy and cliché, but with G.W. Baily back in his game, you can't go wrong. Again, one of the things that surprised me is that they've been able to get the same cast back over and over again, we also have two of my new favorite characters: Zed and Sweetchuck. It was great to have the old gang back together, even if the movie needed a little work, they still made the movie very enjoyable.

The Police Academy is given a new assignment, there is a new program called C.O.P., Citizens on Patrol, taking regular people off the streets and turning them into cops. Mahony has taken a few misfit punks off the street and made them join, there's an old lady, there's the average or less then average people in the program as well. But Captain Harris hates this program and will do anything to shut it down, but when there is a jail outbreak, he may just have to rely on the C.O.P. program to help him out.

Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol has it's good laughs here and there. I always love to watch the jokes the gang plays on someone, my favorite this time was how they super glued the mega phone onto Harris's lips. I would recommend this if you are looking for a couple laughs, I think people are bing a little too harsh on these films. They're the Police Academy sequels, they're light hearted and fun, they're meant to just relax and laugh for a bit at the stupid stuff. But I did feel like this is the weakest I have seen so far out of the sequels, it could have had more laughs, but it is worth the watch.

Zmovies Synchronic
There are not many artists who could tell the same joke over and over again and get away with it creating the film as brilliant, funny, absurd, witty, and clever as Buñuel's "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie", 1972. The story of six friends who try to arrange and have a nice dinner together but cannot complete (or even start) their meal does not sound very exiting but wait until you watch this comedy. I've always known how interesting surrealism is but I never thought how funny it could be. I've seen the film four or five times - it only gets better with each viewing. Highly recommended.

Zmovies Redemption Day
Getting off to an unforgettably bloodcurdling start with a mysterious murderous madman (a beautifully nuanced and persuasive performance by terrific character actor Terry O'Quinn in his breakthrough role) calmly cleaning himself off and walking down the street nonchalantly whistling "Camptown Races" to himself after leaving a house with the mangled bodies of two people he just brutally butchered inside of it, this exceptionally scary, believable and riveting suspense thriller never loosens its grip on the viewer or takes a single false step. You see, our mystery madman is a cunning, devious and above all deadly chameleon who readily changes his identity with alarming regularity in his obsessive and impossible quest to have the ideal American family. His latest marks are a love-blinded denialist woman (nicely played by Shelley Hack) and her smart, astute and rebellious teenage daughter (a hugely sympathetic turn by the very pretty and appealing Jill Schoelen).

Director Joseph Ruben, working from a wickedly clever and incisive script by acclaimed crime novelist Donald Westlake, further aided by Patrick Moraz's spooky, stirring score, John Lindley's slick, handsome cinematography, and a deliciously dark streak of pitch-black humor, expertly stokes the tension to a nerve-rattling extreme while maintaining a steady pace and effectively creating a mundane atmosphere of frightening credibility. What makes this movie so special and remarkable is how it deftly explores varying degrees of psychosis: the mother has difficulty dealing with the grim truth, the daughter has a tendency to get into trouble at school, and of course our mystery maniac is the worst offender of all, a crazed perfectionist who will literally kill in order to have what he wants. In an especially nice touch, even a young man (excellently essayed with jolting intensity by Stephen Shellen) determined to avenge his sister's death at the maniac's hands comes across as a rather dubious and none too likable would-be "hero," thereby blurring the fine line between good and evil. Moreover, "The Stepfather" also trenchantly addresses the false sense of security and serenity people tend to erroneously ascribe to suburbia, the danger of accepting others on a strictly superficial level (Hack desperately wants to believe that O'Quinn is the pleasant, mild-mannered man he appears to be), the undeniable fact that all human beings whether they are good or bad are intrinsically flawed by nature, and, most boldly of all, the grossly impractical and unrealistic standards that are constantly perpetuated by traditional conservative family values. Intelligent, insightful and overall thoroughly absorbing, "The Stepfather" stands tall as one of the best horror slasher thriller gems made in the 80's.

Zmovies Savage
Absolute best TV series I have seen. It is very relevant today. Follow the Money (Danish: Bedrag) is a Danish financial crime thriller set in the renewable energy business in Denmark. But ends with crime on a very high plan. You learn a lot about economy and society in this series. It's both entertaining and at the same time, a kind of education, to be more critical towards the top elite. In our world today, a few people own more, than half of the worlds population. If they wish, they can destroy a country. And that is what this TV-series is really about. It's relevant, it's possible in real life, and it's absolutely worth seeing. See it, you will not regret it.

Zmovies Fatale
It's right before WWII in Germany. Lene is a rather plain pensive girl and her dark hair makes her less desirable in the race obsessed country. She meets kind Hans and they get married. Hans is conscripted and sent to the front. Lena gives birth to their daughter Anna. Life is a struggle in war-torn Germany. The couple struggles to remain connected. After the war, they try to return to normal but then she suffers a facial paralysis.

The movie is much too slow at the start. It doesn't really pick up the pace but at least, there is a bit more tension with the war going on. The leads are not terribly charismatic but that's kind of the point. The production and the old war footage leave the movie with a slightly unreal feel. It's a depressing movie.

Having watched "Salem's Lot" that had David Soul as the main character, I wanted to see this remake for comparison. Many said that it was truer to the book than the 1970's version. That may be the case, but two very important things were missing: 1) the true character development and depiction and 2) the element of horror. When a movie tries to portray suspense and horror, viewers should be left with some feelings of uneasiness. The original "Salem's Lot" did that for me. The remake just left me with my mouth open.

I remember the original "Salem's Lot" with Danny Glick coming to Mark's window in the fog. The music, the fog, and the claustrophobic atmosphere of the scene were chilling. I was a kid when I watched the original and I begged my parents to cut the limbs on the tree outside my window so they'd stop scratching against the window when the wind blew. And you could sense in Mark the fear of what he was afraid was happening and the pain of having lost his friends. In the remake, the scene seemed almost done for good measure. I also remember Barlow entering the prison cell in a fog to get Tibbits. Just watching Tibbits face showed enough horror without any gore. Watching him crawl through the ventilation in the remake was simply comedic.

In the original, I could understand Mark going up to the "house" to try to kill the vampire. After all, Barlow had killed his parents. In this remake, Mark was a brave little vigilante to go up to the house in advance of his mother getting killed. It would have made sense for him to go to kill Barlow "after" Barlow had murdered his mother. Then, that may have been to much like correct.

To delve into the character revisions would require too much investment in time. I was surprised to see how Ben Mears had been redefined from revered and misunderstood to being the object of animosity and misunderstood. Matt Burke's redefinition from a believable elderly, white male to a young, gay black male smacked of literary license gone mad. Burke's revision helped add a level of poor taste to the scene with him walking in on Mike, who had been turned into a vampire. "You want to touch me." In the original, the character told Matt Burke, "Look at me." That's what vampires want you to do -- look at them. Homoerotic or not, the scene added no value.

Anyone who watched the original remembers "The Master." Granted, Barlow looked very Nosferatu, that was quite effective. When he came through Mark's house and was just a cape on the floor before rising up to kill the parents, that was shocking to see something so horrific. When Barlow came into the house in the remake and was clinging to ceiling, I felt let down. And Rutger Hauer is such a great actor. And changing Straker from a smarmy, secretive watch dog to a severely underutilized Straker that was practically cast as a cameo was just wrong.

While it is impossible to have a movie conform in totality to any book, style can never replace substance. The remake of this movie could have used the mild Alfred Hitchcock flare of the original to instill fear in viewers while indeed focusing on the major characters as the book did to tell a captivating story. If I were a post teenager who had never seen the original, I would have been clapping my hands and pumping my fist in the air at the wonderful display of CGI graphics and fast-editing (ala Danny Glick's little brother quickly fading in and out when Danny was in the hospital).

With the removal of some superfluous scenes -- the beginning with Mears homeless style having his episode with the priest -- and continuity -- read above comment about Mark going to the Marsten house for the kill before he had a reason to do so -- what was a tolerable movie could possibly have been an okay movie. For the 70's I can accept the flaws that came with movie production during that time as compared to today's movie-making. But to try to best a movie of that time and fall short, well, it's a shame.

Love the show except for Kelley. It's May 1. Last week I couldn't even wrap my mind around what she was wearing. The skirt reminded me of my Home EC teacher in the late 60s & the top was a tied dyed type thing I can't even label. Bottom line, made her look bigger than she is. How many times does she dis others for that? Tonight her makeup is so gruesome I can't stand to look at her, black lips with lavender hair. She can look good but enough with the hair & lose that stylist. Take a lesson from Giuliana, George & Joan who always look great, then I might be able to handle you dissing others. Love the show & everyone else, but Kelley Osborne? Nope.

Zmovies Promising Young Woman
Crashing is a comedy series that revolves around a group of 20-30 year olds living together as property guardians of a hospital. I really liked the setting of the show and the characters grew on me right from the start.

Although there isn't really much here in terms of storyline, there was just something unique about it that kept me watching. The performances of all the cast were spot on and each character had their own traits. The show relies heavily on sexual jokes and crude stuff such as puking up on food and poo in the bedroom, so obviously it's not going to be for everyone.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge (the writer and main star) is a very similar character to Fleabag (her other 2016 show) and so she is hilarious once again. Kate was an awkward character in the first 2-3 episodes but in the last few episodes she provided a lot of laughs. All of the guys were funny also but my favourite character has to be Melody, there was something edgy about her and I enjoyed her scenes the most.

The show is predictable in a sense that its pretty obvious which characters will end up with each other, but there's only 6 22 minute episodes so it's well worth checking out. I finished it in two sittings and I really did enjoy every second of it. It's good for a quick laugh.

I hope for a 2nd series soon.

I absolutely love this show. It is a funny, positive show that hits on some real life topics while keeping it light hearted and keeping you laughing. I can identify with each character, especially Jenna! I think it is hilarious to see my life play out on the small screen.

I'm a woman abstaining from sex, I struggle with some of the same fears, challenges, and rewards of abstaining as Jenna. OhÂ… I really hope this show stays on the air for years to come!

Young people stammering and fumbling their way through the rites of passage in this extremely mild adaptation of Robert H. Rimmer's novel. New enrollees at Harrad College, run by a sexually uninhibited couple who encourage their students to be intimate, approach the male-female roommate law differently. Nervous Bruno Kirby (billed as B. Kirby, Jr.) is amusing when coupled with a forward blonde (his voice goes up whenever he talks to her), while virginal Laurie Walters shares space with unassuming stud Don Johnson. The curriculum is rather obscure (only two classes on the first day, beginning with Nude Yoga!). The prurient-minded may find the semester's results disappointing; the film has unblushing nude scenes, but the agenda is to enlighten, to broaden horizons, which means the film is more pedagogic than titillating. Richard Kline should be demoted for his overly-bright, overly-bland cinematography. As the adults, James Whitmore and Tippi Hedren keep a straight face, but good intentions can only take the film so far. Followed by "Harrad Summer" the next year. ** from ****

Zmovies Wonder Woman 1984
*some potential spoilers below*

This film raised a lot of questions for me...including

Where was this filmed? It seems in Iran for much of it.

Why does Nargess not board the bus at once? Would she still have been subject to the official search that we see from above later? When she purchased that shirt was that to tie her back to the "flirtation" with the man who earlier was seen decorating the wedding car?

Are Iranian doors really so narrow? I'm specifically referring to Pari's house, also was it obvious to other viewers that the men that stormed that place after Nargess visits were Pari's brothers??

Was that orange soda an Iranian product placement?

Okay, that last question is not in earnest. I'll take the scourge of crass commercialization over invisible imprisonment (but it would be estimable to avoid both as a society ultimately.)

However my first question stands. For this film to be made (partially?) in Iran suggests to me a less draconian presence of persecution. Did the actresses (and non-actresses) all have proper ID cards and clearance themselves? Are the various inquisitors too busy stopping women, to peruse the dailies?

I have no desire to defend a country wherein clerics get to decide who can and cannot run for office. But in another film, I would almost like to see some attempt to show complex characters who do defend the need for ID cards and chaperones and women living in the shadows of their chadors.

When I interview Firoozeh Dumas regarding her universally enjoyable book "Funny in Farsi" I made the mistake of thinking that returning to Iran was prohibitive for her and her Iranian-American family. She corrected me on that. And I recall Western attitudes about Russia in the 1980's that proved to be misguided (or perhaps very truly guided towards misinformation.)

While I had questions, I do think director Panahi is one who invites open questions to this film. His avoidance of back histories to the women featured here helps us to feel as if we are on the lam with them. The hand-held camera (its shakiness on the large screen I think would pose some trouble for folks like my wife) also helped the audience to share the worried nature of the characters.

The approach to this film struck me as the approach of an auteur. Thus, this film is more likely to stand aside Eisenstein than Weinstein...more likely to be shown at the Pacific Film Archives than the "arty, upscale" multiplex. I do think this will prove to be a favorite in classrooms, I get the feeling that Panahi achieved a lot with very little to start with.

Women are often shot behind bars, cleverly so. At a cinema ticket booth, through a hospital window screen, outside by a gate. The film starts with a woman screaming in agony, and I did not know *right* away that it was a woman giving birth. It did become clear pretty quickly, but as I reflect back it could be that the pain for women is not just confined to labor. The camera travels like a virus from one woman, one story, at a time. As one other reviewer mentioned this reminded me of "Slacker" (I've not seen "La Ronde.")

I referred to the chadors above, while I still don't know a chador from a burkha...there seemed to be different ones worn by different women throughout. I suspect some sort of significance. The all-white one of Elham really stood out for me.

The contrast of that, and her apparent success in getting out of the societal prison she was stuck in versus the strife her circle of sisters still must endure was stark. As stark as the white versus black garments, as stark as the wedding procession that runs blithely through the film and as stark as the footage provided here.

I'm glad I saw this...and suspect you will be as well. I look forward to watching more of Panahi's films and hope there will be more artistic exchanges between the U.S. and Iran. Indeed the film I probably want to see, would be the one that *both* governments would like to ban. Has our Attorney General Ashcroft seen any Iranian films that disturbed him recently??

i was so looking forward to this film... methought the title held much interesting promise... i was cozy to it at first, however, as the film progressed, I couldn't understand why the director chose to propagandize rather than tell a story depicting the human condition... all the material was there to tell a great story of two peoples, but instead the director prostituted himself to covert politics instead of the art of storytelling... too bad.... the content turned me off as i was never given a chance to make my own mind up, but rather I was constantly told how to 'feel and think' about the story's dilemma... the director missed a great artistic opportunity... that's why i'm giving it a score of 1(awful)...but I did like the score!
