This movie contains scenes in which innocent women are falsely accused of witchcraft, brutally tortured into making confessions and then burned alive. If seeing this kind of thing disturbs you, then may we advise that this movie is probably not for you.
See? Easy.

But seeing innocent people undergoing cruel forms of torture is a different story altogether.
To all readers... am I alone in this? Doesn't anyone else out there think that this kind of thing should be mentioned on a warning label?

When did we all become so dependent on the ratings boards to tell us whether we scan stomache a movie?
But yeah, back on topic. Cliches:
Know-it-all egghead kids.
Earthshaking inventions that have left no paper trail, no notes, and exactly one prototype.
Chatty, erudite psychopaths.

fade to black.
2) Monster movies where swarms of gremlins, spiders, vampires or whatever are unleashed upon the world and yet for the ending EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM are lured to one central location where they can be spectacularly (and conviently) obliterated.
3) After EVERY SINGLE ONE of the monsters du jour is obliterated we get a shot of an egg, or pod, or baby monster du jour waiting around for the sequel just before credits rol. The End?

Climactic final battles where the hero stabs, shoots, or blows up the villian because the hero's, sidekick, girlfriend or pet hamster who was knocked out earlier in the fight, tosses the hero a much needed weapon which is just out of reach. If the person is such a hero, how come he can't take out the bad guy by himself?
Any movie where a geek is suddenly chic, then becomes geeky again, and at the end everyone realizes what incredible jerks they have been and everyone accepts everyones diffrences and goes out for ice cream.
Movies made from TV shows! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!

and when he gets the guy that killed his wife or kids, or whatever...
puts a gun in his face... and his partner says..no! do it by the book
leaving one of two things to happen...
1. the bad guy who should die goes to jail and the cop throws away his badge or has to listen to some asshole tell him he did a good job.
2. he does the right thing then the well conected rich evil dude, who could easily spend the night in jail despite the length of sentance, and pull a couple strings and be released the next morning... pulls out a gun giving the cop not only an excuse to kill him, but neccessitating it.
i mean really...?
more so the second one...
because the first one would be setting a good example...
(it's just that i watched DEATH WISH 4 last night on cable)
but the second is just dumb...
( but i let it go in Jackie Chan films ) .
