It is a shame when someone takes something perfect and beautiful, such as Ringo singing this song with the Beatles, and then hands it to someone who just butchers it the way Joe Cocker does. Guaranteed to run the cats and dogs out of the room, though. Guaranteed to run anyone with a sense of aesthetics oout of the room, too.
There is nothing musical about this, and it sounds like a kid making fun of a song more than anything.

A few stereotypical characters on an island are trapped by a bunch of little monsters which later turn into one huge one.

B movies are usually good. This one is horrid. Astonishingly, the smaller a role someone has, the better that person seems to act. A late arriving beatnik steals the show. The two leads are so pathetic, one can just imagine them being the butts of all the jokes on the set, and probably never even knew it. One can only pity these two people, knowing this.

You will laugh at some spots that are really bad. I believe that. But not enough to really care, unless you’re boozed up.

A lot of talk is made about old Westerns being unsympathetic to Native Americans.

That is false talk. Old Westerns treated the Native American with great nobility.

Except for this one,and perhaps a few others. But this one stands out as the absolute worst. It is so sick that the alleged hero, played by Heston, murders his Apache lover’s brother, then kills her, and tells a cavalry man the famous line “There’s a dead Apache Indian on my floor. Get it out!”

Yes, the punkiness is mind boggling. You will not believe someone could actually waste their time making this, and make no mistake, even in the era it was made in, it was viewed as sick except for a few wackos. This movie has never been the norm, so don’t believe the hype.

Truly, a sick movie.

This movie is about one thing-killing brunette women. The only men left alive in the end are those who murder brunette women. One of them is supposed to be a hero (McQueen), but he murders his own girl friend in a swamp by insisting on killing some guy instead of saving her from a snake bite. There is no way anyone but a neo Nazi can feel anything for this character.

It is supposed to be about revenge, but it doesn’t even reach that. Better movies tell about characters going gung ho for revenge without murdering their girlfriends (The Bravados, Warpath, to name a few).

first of all, like all Hollywood films, all bad guys always succeed, all the time. Ho hum. No originality there. Second of all, despite all the hype, there is no symbolsm or thought here. There is supposedly action, but the movie plods in complete ennui. And the major characters are stereotypical cardboard cutouts you could care less about.
The plot is lame. Nothing makes a bit of sense. There is no chesiveness, and no one cares. The ignorant masses will eat up the hype on what amounts to a snipe hunt that the directing, writing, and producing crew take them on, and no doubt snicker about while the ignorant masses hold the snipe bag. There is no value at all to this piece of garbage.
It seems a shame, when so many good writers have good scripts about a man finding a cache of money, and this propoganda shows up. It is intended to show that big brother knows where you are all the time, and will always know everything you do. There are those so ignorant and naive they believe this. Those people are still holding the bag. This movie will be scoffed at by anyone with an IQ over 15.

I neither love nor hate the duke, but I get a kick out of this flick.
The duke is Big Jake, who has to rescue little Jake from 9 kidnappers led by Richard Boone.
But really it is a bunch of fun scenes and funny lines. The “Daddy” scene is hilarious, and a must see.
Action packed, good natured fun, with lots of stars, including Bruce Cabot, Christopher Mitchum, and John Agar.

The two legends, in fact, play second fiddle to the main characters. This is a science fiction drama in which the isolated characters on an island don’t realize they are in danger. It is very credible in that people react very realistically. If the movie were made in later years, the characters would automatically know everything that is going on.
The characters and the story make this a riveting tale enrapt in the science fiction of very formidable aliens.

This is one of the first books I ever read, and it was one of those unusual books that you can just stroll through. Excellent writing. The movie was almost perfect to the book, including to the fate of the characters involved, and included the same sole survivoe (whom I won’t spoil the movie by mentioning, although one other does survive as an amputee, and another deserts and is caught, so his survival is questionable.)
It captures the spirit of the novel, and the true feel.
Great book done to the letter = great movie.

This is clearly the Blues Travellers best song, due to the great vocals and music, and yet he uses his best song to downgrade the very people who listen to it. The lyrics don’t match the song one bit. Of course, the Beatles are probably the only group to consistently match lyrics and music perfectly together.
Still, the music and vocals are awesome. He needs someone to write lyrics for him, badly.

The glorious vocals and great mood swings of this song, which remind one of the way McCartney would change themes, make this a classic.
There is no doubt that Mercury and friends were influenced by Camus in this song, clearly about “The Stranger” from mother’s funeral to murder to execution. The alienation is felt, and the music perfectly matches the lyrics.
Awesome.
