Michael-Douglas Movie Reviews

All he wanted was a wife. One that would love, honor, and care for him. He kept getting women that used him for his money, so he locked them in the basement. He has dreams and wakes up to find himself turning into a monster. He has to beg his lord to make him young again. In his Vineyard there are bodies of the dead which return to life night after night. When a group of would be actors and actresses visit the island to be in one of his movies, will they figure out his darkest secrets?

This movie was just plain dull so don't bother. I am a Richard Chamberlain fan and after seeing Shogun and The Thorn Birds this movie is just a waste of his talent and my time.

Alright...'Murder By Phone'. It was an okay movie. I definitely think it could've been a lot better. It's one of those cheesy 80s horror flicks. I found it more funny than scary, though I admit, I'm gonna be scared to answer the phone for a while! This movie is pretty much about a crazed murderer dude who kills his victims by calling them + then playing a high frequency sound which makes them have like convulsions + then he sends high voltage through the phone + they die. This movie is also a little confusing at times. (Keep in mind, I saw the movie at like midnight) This is DEFINITELY a REALLY good movie to watch with a bunch of your friends during a sleepover in the middle of the night!

when this movie came on my cable server, i looked it up on amazon to see what was up. when i saw that it had not been reviewed, i decided to watch it, to see if i could help. ...this picture is not even bad enough to be good. it's just not good.
an ex-government 'highly-trained killer' (you were the best of the worst, son) has his memory tampered with by his ex-commanders, but starts getting it back by dint of several implausable occurences. the action sequences that follow are unconvincing, unbelievable, and derivative. the acting is, well, i'm sorry, but words fail me here. the father 'fessing up, any scene in which the son, sean, appears ...
i mean, i really like court-room scenes, but these court-room scenes are just awful, so manipulated as to be simply ludicrous (how many times can a judge say, 'this is turning into a circus'? i believe that this movie holds the world record for this banality catagory).
is there anything redeeming here? yes. the female lead, kimberly kates, enchanted me (the male lead is presumably a 'hunk', but that's not my department). i even thought that she delivered her impossibly hackneyed lines with verve and flair, but as i mentioned, i may have been enchanted. she did enchant me. let's hope that she gets many more roles, because i want to see her again, but maybe not at the cost of sitting through this turkey again (but i will if i have to, as i said, she enchanted me)
in short, this is not a movie to avoid, it is just a movie to ignore.

i will never watch this movie again i didn't even watch it all the way through it was horrible ! the effects were bad , the acting was worse please do not buy until you rent it first, i made that mistake.

This is one of the very worst movies I have ever watched. I am surprised the US Marine Corps has not sued the producers and studio for defamation of character. Plus, the actors can't act and the story author can't write.

This has to be one of the worst movies in years. I am surprised the US Marine Corp doesn't sue for defamation of character. They should have hired someone that knew something about military unifroms, insignia, customs and courtesies, bases, and on and on. And saying that, they should have hired actors and writers too.
