Summary: The Best Movie Ever
Review: This was the best movie in history! all the actors were great it's a funny movie with good music. i think everyone should see this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Always Play With Their Minds
Review: This movie is awesome! The best part about it is the amazingly quoteable script! Who wouldn't smile at "Well, 'Sinead O'Rebellion' shock me shock me shock me with that deviant behavoir. It's awesome how the movie depicts so well the personality of each character. This is where to go when you want one of the "teen movies" (ie. Can't Hardly Wait, She's All That, etc.) and whole bunch of laughs! :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oh come on...it's a great movie
Review: Okay, so if you are hitting 40 you may not find amusement in this movie, and I am sure it's intentions were not to stimulate mind growth. Honestly, if you are a teenager, or maybe even in your twenties and are going through an identity crisis or remember when Sinnead O'Connor was the big gasp, then you will find this hysterical. This is one of my all time favorite movies. Maybe because it reminds me of my friends and I, or maybe because it is like the place I work in, but I saw the movie when it came out and still find it just as funny as the first time. I give it 5 stars, for it hits the audience that it aims at well!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: maybe not oscar material, but still...
Review: I kind of get the feeling that Tom Keogh (the official Amazon reviewer) didn't actually see the movie, because Liv Tyler isn't a lovestruck teen in this film at all. but anyway. true, it may not be the greatest movie ever, and yes, it does consist of a lot of emotional teenagers who fall apart and then put them selves together in five minutes again. but so what? it's got a great soundtrack and six years later, still feels as new and fresh as it was in the beginning. i think its underappreciated by a lot of adults but for teenagers who aren't into the whole teeny bopper thing, it's great! i would absolutely recommend it to anyone who wants to see a genuinely good, if not great, movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME MOVIE...
Review: I thought that this movie was really cool. It had a good amont of laughs and very cool music. My favorite part of the movie was when Joe started playing the guitars to If You Want Blood (You Got It). That is, like, the coolest song by AC/DC ever. Even though I'm 13, I appeciate AC/DC music. I recommend this movie to anyone who is even SANE!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of my absolute favorites

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Open 'til Midnight...
Review: This may seem like a far fetched film to some, but I used to work for a Tower Records which has a very similar feel to Empire, and sometimes things just got downright strange there. For some reason places like Empire and the like seem to draw the bizarre and unexplainable out of the void and plant them directly in your lap. That is what made this movie so much fun for me.

I loved how everything was laid out in this film, it really is pretty close to the level of both genius and sheer stupidity that goes on inside a kooky record store. Plus, I think we all need a friend like Lucas around, he's the type to stir up the dust life gets a little dull.

Ok, it may not be one of the great films of all time, but it is great for what it is, a fun ride that makes you laugh along the way. Especially at the expense of "Sexy Rexy", hehe ;-).

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This isn't a good movie
Review: I remembered this movie being good so i bought it... well apparently, when i was six years younger, my taste wasn't as keen as it is today. the plot is terrible, the lines are terrible, and the actors can't salvage it... there is some music in it... which is the best part. don't buy this. take mine if you want it

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Absolutly terrible
Review: This movie is a terrible mess of what happens when terrible writing is acted out by kids from your local mall.

After sooo many people told me this movie was good, i gave it a whirl. I figured, hey..it's a movie about some kids, who are into music, it had to be at least ok. Boy was I wrong, the pretentious and uncaring Lucas is the exact kind of kid I would loathe in real life, but he is revered by his peers for stealing money from his boss and spending it all.

Then the boss gives a job to a kid (Warren) who not only steals 5 cd's from the store, but also shoots off a gun in the store, while holding the customers hostage.....huh?!?!

The stereotypes in this movie are so hideously represented, I'm wondering where the oriental(who knows karate), the african-american(who drinks 40s), and the hispanic(who is all the rage with the women) kids are. (probably waiting to be hired)

And I'm not an 'uptight critic' that some will say will hate this movie, I enjoy my share of bad movies, namely "The Wizard" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2"

But this movie is worse.

For a good movie that a has a record store as the center, try "High Fidelity"

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Weak no matter how many times you watch it
Review: This movie is very weak. It had to be one of those throw together jobs where they pick a plot, some characters, some music, some actors, and a soundstage and see what they get. Well they didn't get much. They must have blown their entire budget on songs for the soundtrack because they sure didn't pay a writer for anything.

I recently watched "Detroit Rock City", "Almost Famous", "Varsity Blues" and "Road Trip". All of which put "Empire Records" to shame. Check any of these out instead.
