""Conner Macleod" (Christopher Lambert in his most famous role) is unlike any other man. He is an immortal, born in Scotland in the early-1500's. Four centuries later, he is in New York City, as an antique dealer who the police suspect him for murder in the underground parking lot under Madison Square Garden as a professional wrestling show is going on in the "World's Most Famous Arena." Now, falling in love with an antique weapons expert who the police hired in the case he is wanted in connection with, he must face the immortal (Clancy Brown) who almost killed him centuries ago. This movie has completely missed the mark. Although the plot is pretty weak, it is well written. The script only touches the subplots, and barely expands them. One thing that could have been greatly expanded upon better was the blooming romance between "Macleod" and Roxanne Hart's character, the antique weapons expert. The movie goes back and forth through "Macleod's" lifetime quite nicely. The scenes in th ... "

"From what I hear, Star Wars: The Clone Wars is really bad. Bad enough for the king of the fanboys, Harry Knowles, to reportedly write, “I hated the film. HATED IT. REALLY HATED IT.” Bad enough that Warner Bros. had the review removed from Aint it Cool News due to a review embargo — though probably it had more to do with it being so damaging to the studio’s marketing of the film (apparently Warners had no issue with Variety publishing its so-so review on the same day). I’m not in the least bit surprised. Most people I know who used to be big Star Wars fans won’t be bothering to see the film. But if it bombs at the box office this weekend, what will t "

"The Waldo Ultimatum - Watch more free videos I don’t know where I was when this video was being circulated around the ‘net, and I don’t know where I was when it was announced (back in February) that both Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon are signed on for another Bourne Identity sequel. But better late than never, especially when the former is the greatest movie spoof and the greatest fake trailer I’ve ever seen. The reference to Carmen Santiago really clinched it for me. And while I’m a fan of the Bourne movies and thought the third was the best yet, I’d really rather they stopped while they were ahead. An actual Where’s Waldo movie is much more preferred, by myself and probably anyone else watching the above video. Sharing "

"A great marketing tagline for “Jumper” could have been: Jumper: It's “Highlander” for the myspace generation! Both feature leaps through space (and logic), centuries-old rivalries, and an acting vacuum for a lead (Christopher Lambert in 'Highlander,' Hayden Christensen in 'Jumper'), and both are a laughable assault on the intellect (but 'Jumper” lacks that groovin' Queen soundtrack). Jumper may also be notable for no other reason than Samuel L. Jackson managed to wear a more bizarre wig than his Gumby model he sported for “Unbreakable” a few years back. Frosted an unnatural shade of white, he resembles a pissed-off piece of Sno-Caps candy. Perhaps it was the chance to jet to exotic locales on the director's dime that enticed the actor to sign off on this mess, or maybe he was looking for a role that would allow him to slap former co-star Christensen around a bit in retribution for wrecking the last two "

"Highlander is another one of those movies that has everything in it, a great love story, the past and present, excellent sword fights, a good story and plot, beautiful images - it's a movie that's a lot of fun to watch. Sean Connery gives this movie a lot of class. I don't think that Christopher Lambert is one of the best actors around but he is pretty cute and looks great in a kilt. I really enjoyed it when they kept going to the past and showing how he first came to be "immortal" - the evil immortal is evil to the extreme. It was a great fantasy movie and a fun watch... "
