Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
noahmilomatt OK guys this is where I draw the line at absolute crap movies. This movie doesn't even deserve a rating of 1. I like almost every horror movie too but this I can't even give the storyline because I don't even think there is one. The lighting the screenplay and everything else about this movie just stinks. I can't believe someone would actually release this garbage in stores like seriously. I'm not even picky about horror movies at all and usually the cheesier the better but this is just downright awful garbage poop. Don't even waste your time renting it because you'll regret even outing this movie in the DVD player. This was only 2 bucks and I'm not getting rid of it because I'm a collector but if you're not and you see this in the store. Take a poop on it and flush it down the stinking toilet because that's where it belongs. I'll be writing other reviews so piece out for now!
charlytully I had a root canal (four-root molar) the morning I rented this movie. Feeling totally awful, and acting under the theory that if you get stung by a wasp when you're up on the roof shingling you can reduce the sting's pain by hammering your thumb, I checked out this flick that evening. Its 1.2 of 10 IMDb rating is the lowest I have ever run across (apparently a film needs more than 500 "votes" in order to make this site's rankings of "worst movies of all-time"). Guess what? I actually was distracted from my dental anguish a smidgin (though the Screen Actors Guild will need to conduct a double blind study to scientifically verify whether "Ullicillan" will work for the general public). Unfortunately, my wife envied the lady commenting here who joined her husband in ejecting COZ after 30 minutes. I really pity the bloke who paid $7.50 to buy this on DVD and then quit watching after a quarter hour, and wonder if the glutton for punishment who EVEN LISTENED TO THE DIRECTOR'S COMMENTARY had to be distracted from worse pain than mine (hopefully "sexytail from Washington" hadn't been stung by 10 wasps, as were the nuns in Ken Russell's 1971 masterpiece THE DEVILS!). For what it's worth, I'll correct a few misconceptions included in the other comments.That "annoying German voice" (to use sexytail's description) who talks like a "a sex offender with Tourette's Syndrome" (to paraphrase Wayne Eames) and "overdubs" COZ actually is a drunken director Ulli Lommel (Rick van Cleef is the lame pseudonym he slapped on the credits as the "Voice of the Zodiac") muttering to himself in the editing room about how little usable footage he obtained for his $2 million (!) budget. In other words, he beats us to it when he keeps calling HIMSELF a "fat f**k" as this garbage unspools. Though Ulli gives himself a writing credit, it's also obvious nearly every scene is poorly improvised by people who would have been better off in acting class than in front of Lommel's camera. (If you need further proof, just check out the second of two scenes in the five minutes of so-called "bonus footage," where the pimp in the cat-in-the-hat head gear yanks out his cell phone to wrap up his improvisation, and you can hear "fat f**k" Ulli's voice in the background moaning "they didn't have cell phones in the 1970's.") P.S.--And to Sir Joseph (the only one of the 13 previous commenters here who scored COZ higher than a "1"; Joe gave this mess a "7," leading one to wonder if any of the previous movies he's seen are even legal in the United States), send me that "$200 camcorder" and my circle will make something a thousand time more interesting than COZ!
Michael_Elliott Curse of the Zodiac (2007) BOMB (out of 4) Ulli Lommel once again visits the notorious Zodiac Killer but I'm really not sure if this film is suppose to show the actual story or something connected to today's times. The film tells some story of a stripper who has dreams, which eventually happen to be the murders of the Zodiac. It seems Lommel is always trying to top himself by making worse and worse movies and this one here is among one of the worst I've seen from him. The majority of the movie has the stripper talking to her pimp about her dreams, which grows tiresome by the ten minute mark. The Zodiac also narrates the story and this leads to some of the worst dialogue I've heard in my life. Apparently the Zodiac likes to call people "fat fu*ks" as that term is used at least fifty times throughout the film.
mecrens This has to be the worst movie I've ever seen. The only reason to watch it to the end is to see if there is going to be a scene worth watching. The camera work is absolutely terrible. No acting. I have yet to see any entertainment value at all.The only thing good about the movie is that its much shorter than most movies. DO NOT CONFUSE THIS MOVIE WITH OTHER ZODIAC MOVIES you will waste your time and movie. If you get a copy as a free gift, find something useful for the disk, hang from the rear view mirror, use for fishing just don't watch it
