I really liked the surprise ending.
A man, probably calling women whose names are in the phone book, finds one who, just divorced, is in need of sexual validation. She learns his game and turns the tables.

NO SURPRISE HERE..
JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU HAVE SEEN YOUR LAST OF SUCKY MOVIES..ONE, LIKE THIS REARS ITS UGLY, BLEACH BLONDE HEAD..WHEN WILL SOME PEOPLE START READING SCRIPTS, BEFORE COMMITING TO DO A MOVIE..I HOPE SOMEONE GOT FIRED OVER THIS FIASCO..IT ACTUALLY MAKES MOVIES LIKE "GRAFFITI BRIDGE" LOOK LIKE "ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE"....MADONNA, GO HOME!!!!!!!! GO TO SHANGHAI, GO ANYWHERE, BUT RUN FROM MOVIES LIKE THIS.., I ONLY GAVE THIS 1 STAR, BECAUSE THAT IS AS LOW AS ONE CAN GO..IN REALITY..ONE STAR IS ONE TOO MANY..SAVE YOUR MONEY, GO GET "SPINAL TAP" INSTEAD.

Not for the faint hearted
Make no mistake this film is dreadful. But you can't blame it all on Madonna's acting. The script is appallingly bad and the film cannot decide whether to be a romantic comedy or an Indiana Jones style action adventure. In the end it's neither, the budget just doesn't stretch that far. The scenery is nice though and Madonna does look stunning, even though she looks like she is bored stiff and is reading her lines from an autocue. The only intersting bit and redeeming quality this film has is Sean Penn's acting. He carries the film and the look of fondness he has for Madonna in the one-on-one scenes with her is obvious. She also shows signs of animation when she is acting one-on-one with Sean. Ah, if only she had remained married to him she might have been an Oscar winning actress by now. Or perhaps not! This film deserves to be seen for Sean's acting alone. So if you've got nothing planned and you want to watch a DVD that doesn't tax your brain too much then this is ideal. The soundtrack is good too - shame they never released it commercially.

This Movie's Not That Bad.....
This movie that starred Sean Penn and Madonna (who was the husband and wife team in the 1980s in real life)is not that bad, but it isn't great either, but it is watchable enough for a lot of people. It does have some areas that needs improvement and needs to be less choppy, like the scenes and conversations. The guy who kept popping up warning Sean Penn's character got on my nerves at times (I think it was his acting), but almost everyone did ok on their acting. It's more of an adventure than a romance and a couple of scenes can make you laugh. :) Overall, I enjoyed it.

Virus
Released in VHS Tape by Universal Studios (06 February, 2001)
MPAA Rating: R (Restricted)
Director: John Bruno
Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis and William Baldwin
In this fast-paced, sci-fi/horror shoot-'em-up based on the Dark Horse comic book, Jamie Lee Curtis plays the navigator of an ocean-going tug. When a typhoon cripples their boat, the crew sails into the eye of the storm, where they discover a high-tech Russian communications and research vessel adrift. Only one Russian crewmember is still alive, raving about "intelligent lightning." They soon discover that an alien life form has taken over the ship's computers and is churning out biomechanical warriors. With their own boat destroyed, the crew must battle the creature as the ship reenters the storm. If the basic story and characters all sound familiar, it may not surprise you that producer Gale Anne Hurd's other films include The Terminator and Aliens. This movie and its derivative screenplay aren't nearly as good as those were, and director John Bruno (who won an Oscar for best visual effects for The Abyss) seems more skilled at action choreography and special effects than character and story. Curtis plays another variation on her "scream queen" persona, while Donald Sutherland gives a deliciously hammy performance as the tug captain (in his words, "the dominant life form") who smells salvage money if he can claim the Russian ship for his own. For all the picture's flaws, the effects are good (and gory) and it moves at top speed for a brisk 100 minutes. A trivia factoid: at one point on this troubled production, film footage was seized at the airport because the shipping box was prominently marked with the film's title! --Geof Miller
Average review score:

Interesting concept.....
This was a good flick. Very entertaining. This is a horror/sci-fi flick. Similar to the Alien series.

Jamie has done better films, but she is equal to the task on this film. William Baldwin also does ok for a beginner. Donald Sutherland is his typical self. He can be counted on to play his characters convincingly.

The premise of the film is a lifeform that exists as energy. It needs to find bodies to do it's work. A Russian trawler (spy ship) just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The virus is able to download itself to their computers and so the horror begins..... Add a huge hurricane and there you are.

If it weren't for the special effects, this would be a B grade movie. There were some really cool shots of the robotics that the virus is able to create from the machines and humans that were on the ship.

Anyway, this one is worth at least two viewings. I've seen it three times, including once on broadcast TV.

An underrated, action-packed thriller
I put off watching Virus for some time because of the general sense of mediocrity it seemed to generate in many viewers and, more importantly, the fact that it features not only Jamie Lee Curtis, who is not my favorite actress, but also a Baldwin brother (William). After watching it, though, I have to say that Virus is really not a bad movie at all. Certainly, there is a lot of Alien-type stuff going on, but there is plenty of action, a fair smidgeon of gore, and reason to hope that maybe, just this once, a Baldwin character might not survive to the end. Sherman "Is that Cuba Gooding, Jr.?" Augustus and Marshall Bell deserve a lot of credit for injecting some comedy and realism into this movie, but it is Joanna Pacula, in the role of Russian science officer Nadia Vinogradiya, who really steals the show, in my opinion. She certainly far outshines Jamie Lee Curtis, whose character has almost no depth whatsoever.

The trouble starts on Mir, as some sort of fast-moving cloud of energy takes over the space station and gets sent along for the ride down to a Russian scientific receiving vessel somewhere in the Pacific, where it puts on a light show to beat the band. Days later, a salvage boat led by the hopelessly annoying Captain Everton (Donald Sutherland in one of his lesser performances) tries to drag a barge through a hurricane; the boat makes it to the eye of the storm, where it discovers a large Russian ship dead in the water. The crews board the Russian vessel, finding no signs of the crew, and eyes start to widen at the thought of the money to be earned for salvaging this gigantic scientific ship. After they turn the power back on, they come to discover two life forms stowed away onboard, however. One of them is the ship's science officer Nadia Vinogradiya; the other is something not of this world. This alien life force needs electricity to function, and once the ship is powered back up it gets to work building all kinds of little robots who in turn build bigger robots, all of which work to destroy all humans on the vessel; in a nice little twist, man has become the virus to be eliminated. You can imagine what ensues. The humans fight to survive, giving the increasingly powerful alien life force a pretty good fight, even after their numbers start to dwindle and familiar faces in the form of Borg-like creatures turn their sights on the human intruders. I didn't care much for the ending, especially since all the wrong characters survived, but one British captain of another vessel delivers a classic six-line comment that did much to better my mood.

Virus is by no means a classic, but the film does deliver a suspenseful, pyrotechnic-laced good time. Jamie Lee Curtis in particular is put through the wringer, while Joanna Pacula is just terrific. I'm really not sure why many people hold this film in such low regard, as I found it both interesting and enjoyable. In my humble opinion, this is definitely an underrated motion picture.

Cybernetics has never looked tastier...
A team of Russian cosmonauts encounter a strange, malevolent electrical being in space just before transmitting data down to a research vessel, the Vladislav Volkov in the South Pacific, and inadvertently wind out transmitting the being.

In the meantime, the tugboat Sea Star is struggling with a large cargo in tow and gets caught in Typhoon Leiah, with some spectacular special effects on the storm in this scene. After loosing the cargo they must head for the eye of the storm in order to repair their boat, and meet up with the abandoned and derelict Russian research vessel. The captain claims the vessel as salvage and sets alight the crew's dreams of big money in the salvage fees.

When they power up the Russian ship in order to bring her in, they unwittingly release the electrical being, starting up all the monstrosities it had already managed to create before being shut down by the remaining survivor of the Russian crew.

The visuals are superb on the cybernetic creations, gory and disgusting; and the suspense as the survivors struggle to best the living, intelligent being is palatable and thick. Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Sutherland, and William Baldwin give excellent performances, and the supporting cast as well. Derelict ship, creepy monster, lots of action, sexy heroine...and lots of blood and guts give this tasty morsel five stars on my list. Enjoy!

Won't Make You That Sick After All
Virus didn't exactly light up the box office, during its original theatrical run, back in 1999. It was panned by most critics as nothing more than schlock. While it's not a great sci-fi film, it is better than I thought it would be, and deserves a spot on anyone's rental list.

When a sea going tug boat is crippled by a typhoon, the crew has little choice but to ride it out. They soon discover a high tech Russian ship with a lone surrvivor aboard. The crew tranfers to the Russian vessel, where Captian Robert Everton (Donald Sutherland), Navigator Kit Foster (Jamie Lee Curtis), and Steve Baker (Billy Baldwin), soon discover that something deadly has taken over the ship's systems. They must now fend off attacks from "water warriors" who have manifested, to stay alive.

At first glance, the story sounds positively absurd, and it is. But thanks to director John Bruno, who won an Oscar for his effects work on James Cameron's underwater(logged) adventure The Abyss, and Curtis, the film stays afloat. Based on an original Dark Horse Comics story, the film moves at lightning speed, which helps mitagate some of its problems. Sutherland is also fun to watch, as he chews enough scenery, for two films. And I was very delighted to find the effects were darn good (Bruno's expertise came in handy) too.

The DVD extras are pretty much standard fare, given the response, the film got from folks. There's a by the numbers Electronic Press Kit (EPK) style making of featurette. You also get to see a couple of nice deleted scenes to go through. Production notes, the theatrical trailer, weblinks to Dark Horse, and film highlights top off the bonus material.

As I say, Virus doesn't light up the world of cinema, but it does have just enough to make it a decent rental. *** and a half stars

Slap Shot 2 - Breaking the Ice

Absolutely terrible.
We should be able to select "No star" for the rating. Just sad, horrible attempt at a sequel. Hockey people will understand my opinion. The original was and is still the all time greatest hockey movie ever. I can't believe they even released this film.

"What a f---ing nightmare."
Rent this video, don't buy it, then fast forward to the Hanson's scenes and the final hockey game. Skip the rest unless you feel you must witness "this fiasco".

Most of this movie is just plain awful except for the scenes with the Hansons and the Chief's new goalie who has this "obsessive compulsive" thing going (like most goalies, eh). He was pretty funny.

There were way too many attempts to rehash the great gags from the original Slapshot, it actually got painful to watch. The writers should have to go sit in the penalty box for this slashing they gave us.

Excuse me while I go watch the original a few times to get this bad experience out of my head, eh.

not as bad as everyone says
ok this movie has the problem of competing with the greatest hockey movies and one of the best movies around Slapshot and no it doesn't live up to Slapshot but you get a good movie. I have seen sequals that where much worse but I have seen few sequals that are better this is an original movie and a good one and deserves the credit for being a good movie
