I watched this movie with an increasingly intense eye and noticed that the children (directly descended from me, one could safely reason) were keen on watching it too. Keen we all were, you could say, for several reasons (the first one being a little bit technical for laypersons but please. Bear with me).

The speed of sound through air is about 340 meters per second. (The speed of sound in water is about 4 times faster than this). The speed of light in air is about 300 million meters per second. I learned this theory, rather indirectly one could say, from U.K. University of Physics.

These theories are facts, and facts cannot be ignored by a good film maker (as an aside, these facts are, in fact, ignored far too often. One could say. Ha, ha, ha...). If you watch this film, you will see--nay, notice--that Robert D. Hanna has most definitely the firmest grasp on the newest ideas being bandied about the upper-most circles of The United Kingdom, and has made some daring (though appropriate) corrections to the translation of live-action CGI towards the big screen.

The end result is that We (long live The Queen!) are no longer barraged with simultaneously occurring sound and visuals. There is finally order, and Hollywood, pay attention, please. For the sake of progress.

There are many haters reviewing this film but I must suggest that these people are frightened off by scientific clarity--of actually having ample time to process every intricacy of what they are seeing and hearing.

Moving on, I loved the visuals in this movie. What I wouldn't give to have a bulb garden similar to the one in the film, and now that I've seen Africa in all of it's glory I might suggest that we as a nation might want to pay attention. They have some very lovely land.

It is my deepest, most real and sincere hope that Robert D. Hanna finds his own very special, nice-smelling girlfriend. One who will not only threaten to withhold sex from him, but from all of us. It just might be our last hope for world peace.

I watched this with a couple of my little kids that I had. I was attracted primarily by the splendid use of color, and wondered if there was as much "sole" on the outside as there was on the inside. I noticed out of the corner of my eye that the movie comes from outside America. I don't normally watch movies from outside America because subversion ideas are abound, for the most part, but I figured that beings this was a cartoon for children then it would be not as political as movies from outside America often tendency to be. Allow me to extend my earlier metaphor: The "toe" of the movie, so to speak metaphorically, felt a little tight on my foot (but by foot I mean my own personal scale of believability---yes I definitely went to school beyond high school.) The "arch support" was pretty excellent, I spent almost an entire afternoon with no comfort problems. I would recommend ordering a half size smaller, though (we are no longer conversing in tired metaphors, Allow me to be frank)--Moonbeam Bear and His Friends has a tendency to stretch over time. But this is no surprise, given that Mr. Bodenstein has progressed very little since Letters From Felix (C. 2002) apparently. Apparently he hasn't been up to much lately and this might be why: Moonbeam Bear and His Friends, while not political, is still an acceptable movie for kids that I had but a BIG BORE for a college-educated person such as myself. 6/10 for most of my children...I don't think I myself would, however, be so kind.

After watching the final season of Lost I purchased Ground Control for 1/2 Lb. (this accounts for inflation, I think) from a small, local England shop. I was pleasantly surprised at how entertained I felt--keep in mind that most things do not entertain me anymore; I feel very grim most of the time. But surprisingly, despite myself not being an aviation buff of any kind I was able to follow along with most of the jargon which is normally an impediment with me (for example, if the movie is about a stock market I have a hard time following the lingo, especially if the film is American) But it all seemed very realistic to me and my husband. Who watched it with me. It makes me wonder about all the "close calls" that go by every day underneath our nose. Usually when I fly; which is pretty regularly, now; I don't pay any mind to all of the magic that goes on behind the scenes of the flight. Now I will pay attention. This is a great movie, especially if you love Keither Sutherland (and both me and my husband DO). I give this movie 8/10 stars--it could have used a more romantic subplot involving a woman and Keither Sutherland, and I saw the ending coming a mile away WITH or WITHOUT the help of ATC (lol!)

I have been researching American Government Conspiracies for awhile now on the internet (You Tube Included) and this movie rang true on my suspicions about the citizens of Washington State. Anne Heche (whom I'm just about in love with!!) stares as a "FRIENDLY"--someone who is not so ignorant to the truth as to look past it, but instead believes it. There are a lot of people with cold and flu-like symptoms coming into her hospital and they don't know what the reason is. The virus is contagious, and her friend at the hospital is bitten by one of the sick people so it's a race against time to find a cure and to uncover the fiendish plan. This movie was incredibly believable--I'm pretty sure the Ameri$an Government is up to this because those jet clouds stick around WAY LONGER THAN THEY SHOULD--anyone who does the research could easily find this out. I would recommend this movie for people who are interested in learning more about the tactics of conspirators whose main interest is in money and NOT in people. I didn't give the movie 10 stars because James Tupper did not Convince me at all. So I give the movie 8 stars--A GREAT watch for those late-night feasts!

I was extremely disappointed in this movie for the mere fact that I had seen it being sold in Christian Book Stores. This is NOT what I would consider a family-appropriate move in that the FATHER gave the gift of a SUGGESTIVE MAGAZINES to his SONS. I was waiting for the redeeming qualities in the movies to take place & when there were more negatives (language, sexual content, and disrespect showed in GOD'S HOUSE) in the first forty five minutes I simply TURNED IT OFF TO RETURN IT TO THE BLOCKBUSTER OR Hollywood VIDEO STORE. I did not feel it was suitable for my family, consisting of my husband, my SELF, and our eight year old daughter (to name JUST A FEW) to "watch". It was shocking and disappointment. Don't waste your time, much of it was not necessary. It makes me rethink how Christian this MAN really IS.

I watched this movie with a couple of my children after we opened our Christmas presents. I was not in Vietnam myself, but I have certainly felt an empathy for these types of people in the past (Apocolypse Now REDUX, Platoon, The Deer Hunter, Full Metal Jacket, Ministry of Vengeance, etc...). When his family *(SPOILER ALERT)* dies inside of an airport a Vietnam vet who had renounced violence to become a minister, David Miller regains his killer instinct through intense training after a terrorist slaughters his wife and daughter in an airport massacre. In Lebanon, it turns out that those who he though were his greatest friends are actually his greatest enemies, and in trying to untangle what is real and what is not real, the protagonist learns a little bit about himself--and a little bit about his faith. I was a little confused at the end when everyone in his church slowly applauded his wavering faith...as a cross worshiper, I'm not sure that would be my immediate reaction if I were there. My children seemed to think that Yaphet Kotto was much better in this role than other roles they had previously seen him in...I'll take their word for that one (LOL).

If one can look past the visual-technology used to imply effects one can be pleasantly surprised as they find themselves questioning her sympathies for other people. This movie is a product of the 90s, and as such, may not be for all people. The idea of a full-grown man befriending a small boy might seem startling to us now, but in the 90s it was rather common (if I'm remembering this correctly). Billy Bob Thornton does a spectacular job playing a "mentally challenged" man in a small town where he is misunderstood...only a child can understand him. When given the chance to help his friend, we find ourselves questioning our sympathies for other people. Even though, due to certain physical conditions I currently find myself in, I usually feel sympathetic to people who face any kind of diversity, I do not know if I can fully agree with the path that Billy's character takes. ***SPOILER ALERT***MURDERING IS WRONG IN MOST INSTANCES BUT IT IS WRONG IN THIS INSTANCE? I AM NOT AT LIBERTY TO SAY!***END SPOILER ALERT*** And I don't believe that anyone is at liberty to say. It is not a question that can be so easily answered by our text books or our knowledge; One must contemplate the answer and decide for their own self (that is exactly what one must do, hopefully as soon as possible we should all do that). Somethings are just deeper than what is found in books. The movie feels very realistic. VERY sober. This movie wasn't made in the Hollywood spirit I have come to despise, but in a different spirit full of intellectual rigor. Though there is a child in this movie, I would not recommend this movie for children, at the end **SPOILER ALERT**Billy Bob Thornton's character murders someone**END SPOILER ALERT** And most people don't like their children watching that. The title of the film sounds simple (it's just an object!) and the character seem simple, but it is a very complicated movie. I hesitantly recommend.

I may be a little biased for certain obvious reasons, but I loved this movie. I normally don't enjoy movies that have ideas of technology in them, especially if the technology is acting up in a manner that makes me feel threatened (and believe me, I felt threatened on a total of seven different occasions). I made an exception to this film because I trust Chris Mulkey's peculiar choice in his rolls (very complicated in many respects). The theme of this movie is serial killers and technology; what would happen to us if a serial killer were able to use technology to serially kill. It's a poignant idea, though not really one that I would normally volunteer myself to confront, and even though ***SPOILER ALERT*** the killer was eventually foiled, ***END SPOILER ALERT*** I worry that maybe actual serial killers may use this film to find out about technology, and try to use technology to commit their crime. I can only assume that serial killers do not currently use the internet, so I feel safe right now (for the most part,) but no one can say what the future holds for us. I hope this film is not in our future (though I fear that it may be, especially when I see the news that's going on in the world). I can guarantee that I will no longer allow my children to visit any arcade alone, or buy software for our computer, alone. But even with these preventive measures, I cannot feel safe, now. This film really drives home just how dependent on electricity, and technology we really are (--we are very dependent!!). Bravo to Chris Mulkey et. all for taking on such a brave subject matter. It is about time that someone questioned all of this change that's going on around us. One only has to look at the news going on in the world to see. I suggest you watch this film with your children so that can be more wary too about the safe use of technology.

I watched this movie at a pretty difficult point in my life but after the first 15 minutes all of my troubles seemed distant. Most fantasy films on television are far to risqué for my particular tastes and I usually have to send my children out if I am to succumb to my urge to watch them. I invited all but a few of my children into the room to watch this with me. The four of us were whisked away into a land of "what-if" possibilities. This is a child-friendly film--and even has some children in it--with great things to say about our human nature. There is a wide variety of amazing effects which repeatedly surprised me time and time again. There are faeries--and though some might think that I am too old to enjoy the notion of faeries I enjoy them an awful lot nevertheless. The I am glad to see that the schools are finally coming around to teach old-fashioned values of "believing in yourself" and "imagination," and not just relying on the newer-found values of "science" and "budgeting." If we keep this up, then eventually anything will be possible. Even, maybe, the IMpossible.

This film captivates with all of the imagery and sounds that it has to offer. The pictures move flawlessly and there is sound dubbed perfectly in to match the motion. There is also audible speaking--the entire thing feels very Kafkaesque for this reason and one can only assume that the messages wrapped tightly within beneath the exterior have a lot more to do with LIFE than what the director of the moving film would otherwise lead you to believe. Music flows freely within the audible background of the film, pushing the dramatics and playing with the hearts of the viewers (like a cat batting around a ball of yarn that's entirely made up of cram).

There are many parts of the movie that I identified with, but only because I am so introspective and intelligent. The entire thing seemed like a lucid notion and one of my favorite hobbies is scuba diving. I'm not sure why more people didn't like this movie (I can understand some of the movie being a little "gross" or "sad" but sometimes we have to overlook things like that in film because life can also be "gross" and "sad" too; art imitates life). I originally read the book for this, and so was obviously expecting a lot from the film. This film met my expectations I am glad to say, and I'm not sure what everyone else's problem is. Grow up people, life can't always be happy like in The Joy Luck Club.

I liked this movie a lot; had excellent pacing.

My favorite character was the Native American. He knew how to keep his cool in the midst of the chaotic, but well paced events transpiring inside the cabin and around the graveyard. I know that if I were in the presence of something that could be older than Stonehenge, I would just ride my wheelchair right off a balcony or down a flight of stairs. Despite not being Native American (I don't think...?) he was perfectly cast, and his accent was dead on. I have seen other movies about Natives, like Braveheart and that one movie about the sled dog and the Eskimos that had Kevin Costner in it, and this guy was right up there with the very best. I learned a lot about his culture!

My second favorite character was the girl that was tied to the table the entire time, who spoke in tongues. These scenes did not go on long enough.

My third favorite character was the girl who wanted to kill everyone. This is an example of losing one's wits!! LMAO!

My fourth favorite character was the guy who killed the first girl who who spoke in tongues. He was funny in a weird sort of way--the "beak nose" of the film, so to speak. Though I may have him confused with my least favorite character...the sixth.

My fifth favorite character was the girl who fell in love with the zombie and was able to use the power of love to nullify zombie magic. This was a powerful life-lesson and I made my children come into the room to watch this part of the film ***they weren't allowed to watch the rest though because this is not an appropriate film for younger children***

My sixth favorite character was the sixth character. I may have him confused with my fourth favorite character though--I have a hard time telling people apart.

The production values were a little lackluster but that was made up for by storytelling and the excellent pacing. The rate of time by which the plot progressed left a little to be desired for, but this was made up for by the fact that there were 6 people in the movie (for a lot more information about these characters plz see above). I would recommend this film to anyone interested in history, and Native American Cultures.

This movie stars talking babies...

But other than that the entire premise of this movie struck me as being more than a little dubious. This movie seemed to glamorize Section 8 single moms and made successful corporate tycoons seem like they are occasionally unfaithful to their spouses. Remembering McCarthyism all too well, this makes me wonder which side of the aisle the film makers were on... As a side, however, The computer graphics in this movie were amazing, but I didn't let the eye candy fool me into forgetting my core values. Hollywood can't tell me what to think, unless it has an awesome ending like Independence Day. The Musical score was also excellent. I didn't catch who did it because I was so displeased with the film itself during the credits, but kudos to whomever was involved!

I was confused why no one seemed to notice that Mikey could talk. This made me think that the movie would have a "Sixth Sense" kind of ending where we would find out that Mikey was actually dead the entire time which is why no one could hear him (but it didn't end this way, instead James and THE WELFARE QUEEN fell in love). I think this may have been the precursor to Baby's Day Out (which I haven't seen yet, but I've played the game Baby's Day Out on NES...very challenging...)

I found this movie in a VCR player and decided to watch it because I am a huge Owen Wilson Fan (as my name clearly implies).

I was a little disappointed by the main premise of the movie--I was expecting something a little more realistic (the VHS tape, after all, had originally been from Blockbuster video...or possibly Hollywood, I don't remember because I loaned it to someone I met on the internet so cannot check now to see but I'm pretty sure it was Blockbuster. It could have been from Hollywood though. Like I said, I don't remember so please don't IM me about this information).

For starters, why would anyone need to meet someone else's parents when they have parent's of their own (that they do not need to meet, unless they were abandoned as children and left either at an orphanage or for dead on the harsh, realistic streets of New York City. Even then, I really don't see the point of meeting the parent's who never loved you). What made this idea even more improbable, was the idea that there was a great deal of distance to travel for that meeting to occur...I'm not sure what Owen Wilson was thinking when he accepted this part. What I do know is that I have never met anyone else's parents other than my own (my parents loved me very much and did not abandon me in New York City). And I'm glad too, because from what this movie portrays, other people's parent's are very mean and would probably judge me off of my character.

If you're looking for a realistic film about social situations I would much rather you watched Saving Private Ryan. It's a lot like this movie but a lot more realistic.

My popular friends told me to watch this movie so I went to Hollywood Video and rented it with my Social Security Check. Medicare.

Wesley Snipes was really good in this movie--he displayed a lot of emotion and I enjoyed his moustache (my neighbors probably though I enjoyed it a little too much after I burned their yard with fire?). But I digress.

I am a big vampire and zombie fan. This movie had vampire zombies and they were good at dancing. If I could figure out how to get my legs to work again, I would certainly like to dance (did you guys see that knife?!).

I hear there are 2 more of these movies but I don't think Hollywood Video carries them at the moment. I would really like to know how Wesley Snipes lives out the rest of his life, and if he will ever see his father in the production room again. I identified with almost every major and non-major character in this film. Especially that part when the old ninja master was at the computer--that is like my own life incarnate.

I just just...never mind.

Chris Mulkey may have seen this movie?? For that reason alone, I give this movie 8 stars out of 10. Thanks Medicare.

The best thing in the world is this movie. I never knew, previously, that gypsies roamed up and down the coasts of Maine but now that I do know I will take great care not to run one down with my wheelchair. Because I think that not even supermodels should be that thin (I don't cave in to what society deems as being beautiful on the magazines).

This is also a mobster movie because there is one mobster in it. He doesn't have any goons or fit in to any discernible pre-existing hierarchy, but I suppose if anyone carries around two mason jars of fake and real acid they don't have to.

I couldn't eat pie for an entire hour after watching this movie, mostly because I'm scared to death of curses and things that move on their own. For example, lizards.

speaking of lizards, there is a giant human one that scared me half to death and I had to call my children into the room to tell me that I wasn't just seeing things--they had to turn the TV off while my heart and minds recuperated. I felt like the twin towers had fallen all over again.

The movie starts off with what sounds to be a very fun "sounding" trip. I was expecting the movie to be about the adventures that were experienced on the trip, but instead the movie was much much more complicated than even that! There is a gas station (of horrors, one could easily say!) where seemingly helpful people are not so helpful after all...and as it so turns out. There are not very many characters in the movie, but those that are in the movie are very well developed. Their actions and motivations make sense, and are realistic within the context of the environment and within the parallel themes that run throughout the movie. Film. Being in a wheelchair myself, I found myself dualistically empathizing with the title character and feeling sort of put-off by his behavior. Some of the things he did (such as bouncing on the roof of the car for 20 minutes) didn't seem very thoughtful. It was this event, after all, that lead up to him being set on fire by proxy via an exploding car. These elements, along with Freudian themes of motherhood and time travel, only complicated my viewing experience. The ending, needless to say, was ironic. Everyone is exposed for being the true person that they are and one is left to wonder what horrors have yet to unfold at the unhelpful gas station. My favorite character was the old lady, especially if I am to submit to the notions bestowed unto her by the old man, if you catch my drift!

At first, during the credits, I thought that the movie was called "In Itation"--I almost stormed back to Hollywood Video to demand my 1.99 back. But then the V appeared with Jeff Burton's name, and then I knew I was in for quality. The movie begins with friends being delivered mysterious letters mysteriously. There is a haunting theme that ties these scenes together--genius. This could have been a film in and of itself. There is a lot of good scenes with the smart Aleck character--for example, him trying to eat a sandwich. The friends are lost out in the woods and it is a scary movie because you don't know who is on who's side--one thing I do know though is that it felt very realistic. Something similar actually happened to me a few years ago (which is why I'm in a wheelchair now). I think it is sad that the girl got an abortion in the end. If I could have driven over a foggy and dangerous Louisiana Bridge I would have--to save the child. But unfortunately fate took even more mysterious twists than what could have ever been expected... Can anyone tell me if Chris Mulkey is in this movie? I thought that he might be related to Jeff Burton because of the quality--but I haven't been able to verify this yet. The quality of directing, especially towards the end, was really haunting; felt realistic. Cinematography. When I die, I want to hang out in the house with the children because they look like they need a friend (I can tell this because killing people who are nearby to you when you die is obviously just a cry for help).

...and there really are too. Some of them have long hair, but none of them seem to be Chris Mulkey. For those of you keeping track, I'm still in a wheelchair. Blood Trail is as majestic as the rich Indian cultures it celebrates. For example, there are many scenes with animals and scenery. These set up shots made me feel as if I was really there, because in addition to being in a wheelchair I also have really grainy eye sight and grainy stock-footage is the only thing I can see, even when I'm not watching Blood Trail (I try to keep the hours I don't spend watching Blood Trail down to a minimum though). What? This is one of my favorite time periods in American History (whatever that time period may actually be?) and it is fun to watch a movie that takes place in my favorite American time period. The ending was really ironic, given the context. It's nice to see edgy commentary on, my favorite American Historical Time Period. For example, the spear, I believe, is symbolic for both death and friendship. If you really think about it, it makes a lot of sense. But only if you really think about it. I would have liked it if they had used more traditional slang. I felt, personally, that whenever any of the characters spoke, it was good writing. I wished that they had spoken more--especially with traditional slang from that time period (American). If you watch the movie with a lot of candles in the room, you won't be able to sleep at night--that I guarantee!

Chris Mulkey was not in this movie (I don't think) but it was really okay anyways. The musics were really good and there were scenes where people drank. I love to drink! That was awesome! (Especially that part in the back of the picking up truck). I really felt the suspense because I felt like I was there? In the woods with the people. I would like to have more friends like this because I'm in a wheelchair :( Why did the park ranger know the reaper????? fpo!

I loved the twist on the end because as it so turns out, there was actually no twist. Usually I'm expecting a twist but no such thing happened--although getting killed by a shovel WAS an ironic fate for the "blood reaper".

If my dad was an actor, maybe he would be able to be in the movie too because there were dad's in this movie. No Chris Mulkey though; I wish he were my dad.

upon turning on my television set to relax with a fine made-for-tv movie, i stumbled upon this. perhaps it was fate, or perhaps it was simply nothing more than a bit of luck on my behalf, but i must say, first and foremost that i was immediately blown away. the movie drew me in with its top-notch special effects and intriguing character situations--needless to say, for approximately 170 minutes i forgot entirely of any relatives or close friends i may have. instead, i was living the adventure--no, i WAS the adventure. and i can, with the truest of intentions say, that while watching this movie i was the happiest i have ever been in my entire life. and, more than likely, it was the happiest i will ever be. even now, on dreary afternoons when i find myself alone with nothing to do, i like to sit back with a fine, cool glass of lemonade and compile stanza upon stanza of poetry in my head encompassing the various scenes and events, making the movie ever-mine and something that will live forever within my memories.

This movie is highly unrealistic. I turned on the television to watch some television and this was on...and my children were in the room!! I found it highly disturbing that they had a dog that could talk. that just won't ever happen IRL folks! SORRY! but i like movies with a plot I can relate to! SORRY!
