"I'm going to tell you right at the start: Fantastic 4 wins this battle.Why? well, sit back and I will explain it to you.My biggest mistake was having expectations. I love Sam Raimi and have been a fan of his since I first saw Army of Darkness (aka Bruce Campbell Vs. The Army Of Darkness, a far better title if you ask me). I enjoyed his frenetic camera moves and the use of alternate angles to create a uncomfortable, stalking feeling. The bike mounted camera chases of all the Evil Dead movies is hard to top in my book. Spiderman 1 was the most powerful of the series story wise it had Spiderman's origin as well as the death of his uncle. The scenes where he is learning to use his new powers easily captures the imagination with many of the movies viewers. In my opinion, looking at Spiderman 1 you can tell it is well-made and that the director knew his stuff but, it doesn't have very many of Raimi's trademarks, you know, the things that make a Sam Raimi movi a Sam ...

"I like this except...I've rated all of these movies before, on Netflix. Is there a way for you to access my Netflix ratings and apply them here? I've rated over 1,000 movies there and only about 200 here.The 4 movies at a time takes too long. I need a larger list.Why does the page have to update everytime I select a star rating for 1 movie, that is uber-frustrating.I've been a member of spout for a while now and I've not been able to rate movies as fast as I have on Netflix.

"This was aired on "The SciFi Channel" but not picked-up after the lackluster response from viewers. I found it absolutly hilarious and fantastic. With the voice talents of Paul giamatti, Patton Oswalt, David Hyde Pierce, and Molly Shannon, it is clear the cast was well-picked and talented. This one episode features robots (well, robotic bodies), cannibals, lycanthropes, vampires, mummies, zombies, demi-gods, Hyboreans, and intelligent apes. Wow, it's got everything. It works well although with only 20 minutes of actual show footage some people might come away feeling like they didn't get what they paid for. I didn't feel this way for a minute and the extras on the DVD make up for the lack of actual show length. I also found it for a competitive price of 10 dollars " [More]

"I was impressed by this movie. The story centers around two men visiting a futuristic amusement park that allows them to live out their wild west fantasies to the minutest detail. Gunfights and quick-draw shootouts are made possible by robot antagonists, that is, until the robots decide they don't like being the ones shot all the time. The main villainous robot is portrayed by Academy Award winning Yul Brynner. He plays a robot version of the character he portrayed in "The Magnificent Seven". This is one of the few movies that Michael Crichton directed although "The Great Train Robbery" is probably more well liked. "Westworld" reminds me of "Terminator", and "Jurassic Park" and it is quite possible it influenced both. I found it engaging and fascinatingand hopefully you will to. Be sure to chek out the sequel "Futureworld", again with Yul Brynner as a psychotic robot, and look out for the upcoming remake "Westworld" slated for a 2009 release " [More]

"I really enjoyed SuperTroopers and am excited to see what the makers are bringing us next. I just recently watched supertroopers for the first time and was so impressed by it. It isn't a great movie, or a classic by any means but it was remarkably polished considering it was just about their first movie. I'd like to see anyone do better their first time out. Comedy is tricky business and they were able to pull it off pretty well " [More]
