Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
MrGKB ...which is to say, Tony "Candyman" Todd, who in his waning years seems willing to take a role in any piece of crap that his agent recommends. And make no mistake, "Shadow Puppets" is crap, a prime example of Sturgeon's Revelation, and an utter timewaster in almost every respect except in the service of adolescent voyeurism. Badly written and directed by a nobody who even had the nerve to cast a related nobody in his turgid "thriller" (and I use the term in full sarcasm mode), "Shadow Puppets" has few redeeming aspects, most of them skimpily concealed by tight ladies briefs and t-shirts. Aside from the aforementioned slumming Todd, this money-down-the-drain video fodder features James "Angel" Marsters proving why he'll never be a film star, Jolene "Star Trek: Enterprise" Blalock proving why she'll never be cast for anything beyond her good looks, Natasha "True Blood" Alam, ditto, a handful of others in search of a paycheck, and one of the hokiest and unconvincing CGI critters ever to disgrace a screen. Whoever greenlit this junk should be ashamed, and it cost $2m dollars? You've got to be kidding me. I'd rate it lower if not for the geek value of cameltoe hunting and the evidence of Tony Todd's fall from grace. You've been warned, and indiscriminate library purchasing agents should know better than to waste public monies on rack-filler like this.
the_rickker I'm not a big fan of the Horror genre, but I did really like this movie. As a big sci-fi fan I was attracted to this from the main actors. It was a bit predictable and cliché at points there were actual surprises. Check the extras after the movie. James Marsters is a very talented actor that I have had the pleasure to meet at a con. Very nice and personable. Tony Todd is brilliant, has been all over the genre scene both horror and sci-fi. Joline Blalock is very talented as well as gorgeous. The others in the cast did a good enough job, esp the swimming girl. Highly recommended for fans of the actors or of the horror genre.
lisamdixon2002 CONTAINS SPOILERS! Shadow Puppets stars James Marsters,Jolene Blalock and Tony Todd. It's an excellent thriller, that will keep you on the edges of your seat!!! YOU CAN'T MISS JAMES MARSTERS' IN HIS UNDERWEAR FOR MOST OF THE MOVIE!!!! Shadow Puppets is about a group of strangers who wake up in a locked asylum with no idea of who who they are or how they got there.They are all in their underwear,cold and scared.They are being killed of by a Shadow creature, and need to find a way out of the asylum. As the movie goes on, you will will see that not all is what it seems, that someone has been lying. But I won't say who? You will have to watch the movie to find out!!!
akov It is the actors and director voting 10 for themselves giving the movie a good rating to make it sell better. Notice that when a really bad film gets good reviews (around 7-10 in rating) it always have a lot of good comments about the "actors" in it. This movie is nothing but a ripoff, mastery of bad acting and a script who makes you wanna scream in agony. The parallels between Cube is so clear it is sad. Also, compare the plot summary with the film Unknown (2006) and you'll be surprised (or maybe not). If I was a part of this movie I would see the result as a complete failure and quit my job. Voting 10 for your own mistake is nothing but pure scam. These persons should be ashamed. I am, for their miserable sake.
