I just finished watching this title. I enjoyed it more then I thought I would considering it is in a set with 3 other movies... a set that I got so cheap. I enjoyed the storyline... liked the characters... and also liked the way they did the blood/gore. It was there without being over done. The way it ended was done well also. It left itself open for a sequel.... hopefully one will pop up as I would watch it. I am not sure I agree with this one being rated R... I seen similar movies (content wise) to this rated PG-13. I guess it just barely made an R rating. I can see myself watching this one again. I would recommend checking it out. I did have a little trouble deciding between a 3.5 and 4 rating.

Get Carter, a review by Eric

Tonight's the night, I'll be watching

Get Carter


I didn't watch it all last night because I was very tired and I couldn't really concentrate.  I went to bed and finished watching it today because I wanted to give it all the attention that (I thought) it deserves.

I know I'm not gonna make any new friends in the british community with my review but if it lacks the admiration that some of you show, it will at least be honnest.

First, I want to say it's a good movie, not a great movie but a good movie.  I remember when I watched the Sylvester Strap-Ons version that I was all confused because it starts with a guy showing up somewhere and who starts investigating something by being violent with people.  I found it completely stupid at the time (I would probably still) but I didn't know it was a remake, I didn't know it was from a apparently well known movie and book and that I was expected to already know the synopsis.

I was pleased with Caine's performance but then I always am.  I think he's one of the (if not the) best british actor.  The only time I've seen him in a bad performance was in Jaws 3 and I've always felt the movie was to blame for it.

The plot of the movie is interesting but not extraordinary either, typical for the genre in early 70's.  In all honesty, if Get Carter really is one of the best british thriller ever then I really hope I'll never have to watch the worst one.

I will soon be on my way to change my name, move into a new country and adopt a "low profile" life style and try never to be found by Najemikon.

Tom's Random Reviews, a review by Tom

Title: Sam & Max: Freelance Police: The Complete Animated Series
Year: 1997
Rating: NR
Length: 300 Min.
Video: Full Frame 1.33:1
Audio: English: Dolby Digital Stereo

Plot:
The adventures of 'SAM & MAX: FREELANCE POLICE!!!' is an edgy and often irreverent, impudent, insolent, impious and silly series about a pair of likeable law enforcement types who don't take crap (oops! we mean guff) from anybody. It's about the timeless struggle between good, evil and snacktime; the weekly mishaps of a six-foot dog-Sam and a three-foot rabbity-thing (though he prefers the term 'lagomorph')-Max-who have a mirthful time trying to resolve only the weirdest criminal cases of the day. Really.

For your own good, and the good of mankind, enjoy 'SAM & MAX: FREELANCE POLICE!!!'

Based on Steve Purcell's enormously popular underground comic. Original package illustrations by Steve Purcell.

1. The Thing That Wouldn't Stop It
2. The Second Show Ever / Max's Big Day
3. Bad Day On The Moon / They Came From Down There
4. The Friend For Life / Dysfunction Of The Gods
5. Big Trouble At The Earth's Core / A Glitch In Time

10. Tonight We Love / The Invaders
11. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang / Little Bigfoot
12. Fools Die On Friday / Sam & Max vs. The Uglions
13. The Final Episode



Not as much fun as the game but worth the 18 bucks I spent. The dialog between Sam and Max has its highlights. A wonder is, with what they could get away with in a show, which is supposed to be aimed at kids. For fans of Sam and Max definetely worth checking it out.
