Kids
great movie! cute kids, good acting! I saw this on the Disney Channel, and at first it didnt look very appealing to me, but I couldnt stop watching it, I loved it! Its great for kids of all ages!)

very good movie
I thought this movie was very good. It is a touching movie about how a boy finds his inner courage. The kids are good actors. I think you should watch this movie. Its well worth your time!

First time I give 5 stars
I usually don't give such high ratings but this one is a real unknown topper. 'Kids of the round table' was nominated for the 'International Children's Programming Special or Series' award, and believe me, it was well deserved and this film should have won. If you are a fan of knights, the middle-ages in general of just plain old cool adventure stories: this film is going to be among your all-time favorites. Johnny Morina is incredible in the lead. he just seems to be made for his platemail. I saw this movie for the first time at a friend's house. He bought it for a couple of bucks and was almost lyrical about it. After a few seconds I knew what he meant. The music is great, the acting is great and the plot isn't leaking on all sides like most plots of films specially made for kids or family viewing. It is a pitty it's currently not available though. I really hope this film is going to be re-released... Preferably on DVD.

Well, go and see it if you can. Two thumbs waaaay up! ... Read more

Funny!
Great movie. Funny. This teenage boy lives with his 'rents and a little bro, puts up with a teacher from the oppisite of heaven, and has this major obsession with monsters. He has daydreams sometimes of monster movies with him and his brothe rin them, and sometimes his best friend. The kid's dad dies early in the movie, and (a couple months?) later his friends take him to a carnival to get his mind off of it. At the carnivel, the kid sees the "real" Frankienstien's monster. Later, the carnival packs up and moves out, but accidently leaves behind the frankienstien. The kid statches it, and decides he has to try and make it come alive as a kinda rememberance to his father. Does the monster come to life in the end? you gotta see it to believe it.

Still not quite interested? It's got RYAN GOSLING in it! A shot of him in black & white! If he was the main charecter, I'd give it 5 stars, but anything with Ryan has to have at least 4 stars :)

Clever, touching &entertaining; a treat for monster lovers
For those of us who grew up with cinematic monsters, Frankenstein and Me is not only a poignant trip down memory lane, but a validation of secret childhood wonder-feelings that monsters do exist and, if one believes strongly enough, anything is possible. Director Bob Tinnell and his crew (filming exteriors on the very edge of the Mojave desert in Victorville, California while shooting the interiors in Montreal, Canada) have put their heart and soul into this production, creating beautiful, finely detailed sets and scenarios that stand as loving homages to such films as Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, Brides of Dracula and Night of the Living Dead. Though the main character is 12 years old, don't be fooled into thinking Frankenstein and Me is just a "children's film." As Tinnell put it, this is not so much a kid's movie as a fan's movie. Clever, touching and entertaining, Frankenstein and Me is tailor-made for every monster-lover whose heart has remained true to his or her childhood dreams. ... Read more

Great thriller for kids over 8!
I saw this movie previewed before an audience of over a hundred school kids. By the middle of the movie they were cheering the heroine and totally engrossed in the action. Parents and kids will both enjoy the suspense, and the girl who plays the lead is great.

"It's not good or bad, it just is."
Well, if you are looking for a good movie to make fun of, this is certainly it. The plot is rather ridiculous, and lacks realism to the max. Somehow a plane is struck by lighting, and this destroys several control components, and injurs the pilots. Somehow, the lights and radio are still functional, but a hole has been ripped in the side of the plane. But it's a good thing that the hole only sucks things out at oppoutune moments, but allows the girl to walk by without flying out of the plane on several occasions. And it's a good thing she has a cell-phone on board, for when the radio mysteriously explodes. And since there was no "do not attempt these stunts at home" disclaimer, I think I'll try jumping off the back of a refueling plane onto the landing gear of a nearby plane, hopefully suffering no personal injury, despite the high velocity at which I would be traveling.

Yes, a bad movie, but definitely worth seeing, it's a good laugh.

Oh yeah, and the box looks a whole lot like the box for Turbulence, another awesomely bad movie.

Not Just Any Airplane Movie!!!!!
Okay, yes you have people flying in a plane and all of a sudden something happens, but this in not your ordinary airplane movie nor is it your ordinary DVD. Elisha Cuthbert (Are You Afraid Of The Dark) stars as Nicole, a 13-year-old spoiled daughter of parents who own a software company. On her way to her parent's convention, the plane she is traveling in with two of her relatives gets hit by lightning, knocking the pilots and everyone on the plane oncouncious except for her, and not to mention, making a hull-breach in the plane. Now it is up to Nicole to, of course, take matters into her own hands. She has many helpful tools and air-tower support to survive. Will she make it? You will never know unless you buy this DVD now from Amazon.com! This unique DVD comes in a very unique jewel case which is thinner than any case I have seen and saves space on the shelve. Upon inserting the DVD, the main menu has tons of action immediately. All the scene selections are displayed in full movie motion so you can easily see what you need to jump to without the hassle of guessing. Excellent movie score. Great acting Elisha!

AIR(port 1975) + Speed (2) = Airspeed
Not much new here. It's all been done before. The title says it all. Same plots, for the most part. You're better off getting Airport 1975 and, if you must, Speed 2. Good for an afternoon popcorn movie though. Just make sure you have enough to keep you occupied.

Are you all joking?
they should put this movie on mystery science theatre. must have been the funniest movie to make comment at i've ever seen. it had the most ridiculous plot. how come they didn't bring any profesionals in to help out. instead the air traffic controler guides her in. yeah, this is a keeper. be lookin for it on next year's oscars. ...

Believe rocks!!!!!!!!!!!
I think believe was a great movie! I have seen it abut a million times. The actor who plays ben Stiles, named Ricky Mabe is sooo cute! I recommend this movie I think people will like it! :)

Boring, boring, boring...did I mention it's BORING?
I would not say this is a bad movie, but it definitely is a movie for little kids. If you have wee ones that you want to scare and entertain then by all means buy this, but if you want a scary movie for adults, stay away by any means possible. I was utterly bored and unimpressed with this childish ghost story. If you want something to scare an adult with above average intelligence then try "The Changeling" or "Stir of Echoes". You'll be much happier.

Not for adults with no family...
I cannot stress enough how this movie is ONLY good if you're watching it with some young kid or something. Having seen all these great reviews of it, I decided to rent it one night & watch it by myself. Had it been in the FAMILY section of the video store, as it should be, and not in the HORROR section, as it was, I likely wouldn't have. But I did, and upon watching it I was astounded at how bored I was. I'm sorry, but if you're a young adult such as myself (21 yrs old) this just isn't happening. I don't need excessive gore, I don't need nudity or swearing to enjoy a horror movie, but I do need it to be scary. This film just wasn't, at all. The ghost didn't look ghostly, the atmosphere wasn't really dark, just blue-ish, and the story built up no suspense or tension. No one's lives were in jeopardy at any point and to be fully honest, the reason why our ghost is in fact dead is, well, laughable. All that having been said, it's probably a decent family movie and had I watched it with my two nephews instead of by my lonesome it probably would've had a higher entertainment value. So I write this review as a warning to others like me that they not make the same mistake I made.

an instant thrill classic.
for all ages to watch except if your child is under 5 i won't recommended it. but for all who want a treat believe delivers it's haunting tale with the grace of a winner definite multiple viewings it's that enjoyable. for the cast good work now where's the sequel you guys! highly recommended for anyone that like's a good tale.

Hold That Ghost!
It's never easy being 14 years old, but it's especially tough for Ben Stiles. First, he can't seem to communicate with his absentee parents, diplomats who apparently live overseas. Then he gets kicked out of boarding school after pulling an imaginative but childish ghost prank on his classmates. He's forced to move in with an icy-tempered grandfather he barely knows. And finally he discovers his grandfather's estate is haunted by the eerie specter of a young woman in a red coat. Of course after the ghost prank, no one takes his claims seriously.

Ben (Ricky Mabe) is the point-of-view character of BELIEVE, a new horror film aimed at younger audiences and lensed by director Robert Tinnell, whose previous work includes horror fan favorite FRANKENSTEIN AND ME. Unlike FRANKENSTEIN AND ME, which was essentially a coming-of-age story with horror trappings, BELIEVE is designed to generate real chills - and it delivers. Even veteran horror fans should receive at least a few satisfying shivers from the picture.

As BELIEVE's story progresses, Ben quickly realizes his grandfather (Jan Rubes) isn't telling everything he knows about the mysterious figure in the red coat. Granddad goes ape when he discovers that Ben has enlisted the help of a neighbor girl (Elisha Cuthbert), who has also seen the ghost, in his quest for the truth. The girl's uncle (Ben Gazzara ) is equally upset by this development, and forbids her from seeing Ben. The teenagers realize that somehow their families' histories will unlock the secrets of the Stiles house, and maybe help their phantom finally find peace.

Imagine George Romero shooting a movie for The Wonderful World of Disney and you have some idea of the film's tone. To achieve this effect, Tinnell asked production designer Jules Ricard to decorate his sets in the style of the classic Hammer horrors. Then Tinnell shot his movie much in the mode of Mario Bava. Viewers who know Tinnell only through FRANKENSTEIN AND ME will find BELIEVE a revelation. It's far more visually cohesive than his early work and its use of color is striking. Certainly Tinnell was well served by cinematographer Pierre Jodoin, whose work is imaginative and eloquent. Composer Jerry DeVilliers Jr. sets the mood with a truly haunting score.

Tinnell, a formidable horror film scholar in addition to a gifted young filmmaker, built in several nods toward great ghost pictures of the past. Horror aficionados will appreciate the film's visual references to movies like THE UNINVITED and THE INNOCENTS. BELIEVE also quotes from THE HORROR OF DRACULA and (of all things) THE INVISIBLE GHOST. The director confesses to influences as wide-ranging as Romero's MARTIN and THE GHOST AND MR. CHICKEN, but his capsule description of BELIEVE is "the Hardy Boys meet Wuthering Heights."

Tinnell had to bring in the picture on a $2 million budget and a 20-day shooting schedule. To his credit, BELIEVE looks like a much more expensive film. For what it's worth: BELIEVE has received glowing reviews from a number of horror publications, from stately MIDNIGHT MARQUEE to splatter-happy FANGORIA. ... Read more
