I wonder what the criteria is for the library to have, say, one copy of a classic movie, but 26 copies of this rubbish. I suppose its being a Canadian made movie is the only criteria.
I challenge you to watch this thing without hitting the ffwd button 50 times or more! I had ffwd on at 3x speed and for 50 seconds the guy was just walking around his house in ffwd. There's not even a soundtrack to make this boring movie bearable.
If the point of the film was to watch a guy have a mental breakdown, I beat him to it. By the end of the movie I was in a borderline stupor.
To sum up... we watch him walk around his house, walk around his office building, walk around his neighbourhood, walk around his bathroom, yes, his bathroom. And the sex scene... you're going to want to ffwd through that too. I didn't know sex could be so boring.
SPOILER ALERT: He walks around his car too.
There's 92 minutes of my life down the drain. Well, 34 minutes anyway, thanks to the fffwd button.I wonder what the criteria is for the library to have, say, one copy of a classic movie, but 26 copies of this rubbish. I suppose its being a Canadian made movie is the only criteria.

This is a well done, silly and fun movie! Even the predictable set-ups to some of the visual jokes are funny just because you can see what's coming, which seems to be intended because once in a while there's a little twist to the gag!

I barely made it through this one. The actor playing James Dean is so poorly played, it made the film almost unwatchable. He does a very soapy, overacted 'tortured teenager'.
Besides that, all the acting in the movie was amateurish.

Rubbish. The main character is completely contrived. The story itself isn't even interesting. Don't waste your time. The previews for the movie caught my attention on another DVD. Turns out the preview was the best part.

Yes, like all the other comments.... this is just a huge indoor shoot-out. Having said that, it's an entertaining shoot-out, not your standard bang, bang - you're dead movie. It's great to see that the writer/director accomplished the task of keeping a 90 minute shoot-out interesting.Yes, like all the other comments.... this is just a huge indoor shoot-out.

I don't know why this movie was made. It doesn't add anything to the coming of age stories of WW2. Everything this movie says was much better said in the movie Summer of '42.

I don't understand why Springsteen, who was born and raised in New Jersey and lives in Los Angeles, uses that phoney southern drawl accent. I mean, if you wake him up in the middle of the night, would he still talk like that!?

Excellent series. Good characters and stories. Flows nicely out of season 2.
But the main character's attempt to play a person with Aspergers is not very well done and can even be annoying to watch. She's more of a robotic Mr. Spock than someone with any level of Aspergers.Excellent series. Good characters and stories. Flows nicely out of season 2.

A very tedious movie. Dog's life metaphors throughout. It's sluggish and the main characters are stereotypical deep south trailer trash. The lack of a music track doesn't help you get through this thing.

Ugh. 2.5 hours! Unless you were a fan of his, this is just a bore. Maybe Sinatra's story deserves 2.5 hours.... but this Cloclo guy, 90 minutes tops. Thankfully they left out scenes of him clipping his toenails.

If you can make it through the first 10 minutes without fast forwarding or laughing (you're not supposed to laugh) you'll probably like the rest of it. Very predictable, but the substantial budget makes it a bit watchable if you have nothing better to do one night.If you can make it through the first 10 minutes without fast forwarding or laughing (you're not supposed to laugh) you'll probably like the rest of it.

overall good explanation of heaving to in nasty storm situations. But it's not as easy as it sounds. Though I don't agree with their sizing of para-anchors vis a vis the moderate displacement vessels described or using a para anchor off the stern. But the best thing is to avoid the need to deal with Force 7 storms and plan ahead to avoid heavy weather and 65 knot winds.overall good explanation of heaving to in nasty storm situations.
