Description
There bank tellers. One goal: knock the place over. Each has their own idea. Sheila (Silverstone) wants to break into the ATM. Stuart plans to "borrow" some money for the weekend and head to Vegas. And woods (Harrelson) has a scheme involving a duck, a dog, and a safety deposit box. The ultimate inside jobs, plotted by three people with nothingto lose.

See it Several Times.......2007-02-08
I loved this movie! The plot was pretty simple but the quirkiness made it really keep my interest. Note, for example, the shirts worn by the boy with the plane and Doleman. And what to heck is that on the boy's face? Also, watch Doleman's face during the opening credits. And watch the two "Monday" bank scenes closely. Notice any differences? Why was that scene filmed twice (other than the different character perspectives)? Oh yeah, see if anything strikes you as odd about the rubber arrow on Charles Merchant's face during his infomercial. These and other oddities that aren't tied to the plot make it clear that the director/writers/actors enjoyed making the movie which makes it fun to watch. I'd love to know where it was filmed and how accurate the bank temperature display was! It said 94 in the morning and 112 in the afternoon. Details that seem trivial are rarely in a film by accident so the quirks in this film help make it worth seeing a few times.
It should be better.......2006-06-05
Rachel Leigh Cook looks hot. Alicia Silverstone looks hot. Neither acts well.
Woody Harrelson desecrates his otherwise hilarious comedic record that produced gems like "White Men Can't Jump" and "Kingpin".
John Cleese, oh John Cleese, how could you stoop so low? From Monty Python to this?
With two hotties and two good actors, I really expected much more. Disappointment, oh how you taunt me.
Basically this is a movie about three borderline retarded people who are trying to rob the bank in which they work. Each one has an idiotic plan that is slightly more ingenious than eating paste.
If it weren't for the lesbian scene between Cook and Silverstone, the one that involves every ingredient from the Waffle Housee smothered, covered, diced, and chopped hash browns, it would be unwatchable. Of course, I just imagined that part to make the movie slightly tolerable.
In the end each viewer will eventually feel scorched, as in herpes, and dirty for watching a movie that serves a massive turd in the career punchbowl of all actors involved.
this comedy only goes so far and then it drops........2005-05-12
3 working bank tellers, played by Alicia Silverstone (Excess Baggage, Clueless), Paul Costanzo (Tv's Joey, Road Trip) and Woody Harrelson (Tv's Cheers, She Hate Me), plan on robbing the bank that they work at. The movie begins on the day that the cops show up at the bank and then we rewind the week back into the 3 tellers lives and we see why they want to rob the bank. So, they all do it and when they get back the boss, played by Joshua Leonard (The Blair With Project, Deuces Wild) tells them they've been robbed from the ATM by some punks and then he brings the 3 tellers in his office to give them a promotion but they all deny it and quit. John Cleese (Monty Python member, Rat Race) only had one funny moment in this movie and that's the scene where he's checking his dog for a key and he puts a big sushi knife up to the dog but other then that, Cleese is totally wasted. Rachael Leigh Cook (She's All That, AntiTrust) and Jeffrey Tambor (Hellboy, Tv's Arrested Development) also star. The cast try their best to keep the movie funny interesting but the movie is sub-par and not that interesting when it gets to the final frame. The movie is Scorched, just like the title says.
Most Best movie EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-03-30
I saw in my little hunting lodge in VT and it is a great movie. I laughed really hard at some points.
Not your every day ordinary comedy.......2004-09-15
If you are accustomed to commonplace punch line/situation comedy you will be amazed how casually yet successfully this movie managed to deliver its slings and arrows of outrageous comedic sense to audience.
With a spectacular cast and hilarious development of plots, each carefully crafted next-door character hoans its own idea of personal vendetta while driving towards a seemingly fiascic stage where all gets tangled up in their web of outlandish karma.
With unique arrays of pleasant soundtrack, and bits and pieces of humorous touch, this movie is classic in its own way and certainly refreshing in its comedic entertainment.
Description
On the Russian Front, there were no rules. No code of honour, decency or humanity. It was a barbaric struggle to the death. It was also the largest, and most brutal war in history. It contained the biggest tank battles ever fought, and recorded the most casualties. Whole armies were swallowed up. Enormous distances boggled the mind and the constantly changing seasons brought either mud and rain, heat and dust, or ice and snow, but misery was always present. Combat on the Russian Front attempts to describe the indescribable. The experience of combat at the sharp end in this most vicious of conflicts.
Customer Reviews:
Same as TANKS! Kursk and Barbarossa.......2007-04-28
I liked the TANKS! Kursk and Barbarossa series, but this is almost a repeat with the same word for word dialogue in many instances. I liked the North, South, Center army group films from Scorched Earth series better than this one. Save your money on this one
A colossal struggle to the death.......2007-02-05
The film includes the opinions of experts like Robin Clifton, Bob Carruthers and John Erickson but also dramatic footage from actual battles on the Eastern Front, pictures of the horrific carnage produced and many color war-time posters. It gives special emphasis to the gruesome fate of the millions prisoners caught from both sides and the barbarity of the struggle which from the start had a character of extermination rather than simple conquest. Very good film.
Description
Caesar had his Pretorian Guard, and Napoleon, the Old Guard. Hitler's equivalent was the Leibstandarte, which grew from a small hand picked battalion, to a complete Panzer Division twenty thousand strong. Naturally, the Leibstandarte received the best and most modern equipment, but they needed it. As the situation deteriorated, the division became a mobile fire brigade, deployed wherever the fighting was fiercest in Russia and France. Even the end of the war brought no respite, as the survivors marched into captivity from which few returned.
Customer Reviews:
A very informative and enjoyable documentary but beware!.......2007-07-20
Thorough and informative documentary on the development of the Waffen SS Leibstandarte SS-Adolf Hitler division. However, this documentary is in DVD-R format...in other words, it's a burned copy, not a professionally pressed one...a pretty steep price for a such a cheaply produced DVD.
Very good. It covers all aspects of the powerful Leibstandarte .......2007-01-31
This documentary starts with the creation of the Leibstandarte as a personal guard of Hitler and goes through its evolution to a full panzer division in the late years of the war. There are references to the personalities of the division (like the infamous commanders "Sepp" Dietrich, Kurt "Panzer" Meyer and Jochen Peiper), the battles it fought, the selection criteria, the bravery of its men but also the crimes committed by some of them in both the Eastern and the Western Fronts. There are many scenes that are really rare, although there are many others commonly seen before and a little bit repeated in this film.
Description
Outnumbered, outgunned and beleaguered on all sides, the German tank forces of the Second World War fought valiantly to the very last. Always too few in numbers, even the superior technology of the Tiger and Panther tanks proved insufficient to defeat the hordes of Shermans and T-34Os, which swamped the Panzer Corps by 1945. Featuring rare archive footage, stunning 3-D computer graphics and rare film of the last surviving Tigers, this is a privileged glimpse into the world of Hitler's tank armies.
Description
Adolf Hitler had promised his Naval commanders that there would be no war in Europe before 1942. Accordingly plans were laid for the best Naval force in the world, but when Hitler precipitated the Second World War in 1939, only a fraction of the necessary ships and submarines were ready. At the outbreak of World War Two Germany did not even possess a single aircraft carrier. The battleships Bismark and Tirpitz fought famous actions at sea, but the Kreigsmarine was always on the back foot, crippled by superior opponents and strangled by bureaucratic neglect at home
Description
For every one army in the field during World War Two, there were two behind, helping to cloth, feed, house, arm, and supply and organise. It was said to take three men to put one effective man onto the field of battle and, for the High Command all armies, supplying their front line forces presented as big a problem as securing victory over the enemy.It was once famously said that an army marches on its stomach - 'The Sinews Of War' proves that adage to be very true. This episode highlights those whose job it was to 'keep things moving' in theatres of conflict all over the globe during World War Two plus in-depth interviews with military authorities.
Description
Many of the critical battles of World War Two were fought out in the sector of operations designated Army Group South. The capture of the Crimea, the disastrous battle for Stalingrad, the false dawn at Kharkov and the failure of Operation Citadel are just some of the titanic engagements to be covered in this gripping survey of the men who served in the southern arm of the gigantic thrust into Russia.
Description
Without the extra operational range of four-engine aircraft Germany was deprived of the necessary weapon to strike deep into the heart of a well-defended enemy. The short and medium-range bombers necessary for the blitzkrieg tactics were unable to deliver effective, strategic bombing. The Luftwaffe was superbly structured and equipped to fulfil the tasks that Hitler had chosen for it. Unfortunately, it was to prove to be the wrong task. The bombers of the Luftwaffe were unable to prevent the ultimate defeat of the German war machine
Description
In many theatres of operation during World War Two, men did battle from afar. Bombs dropped from the skies, torpedoes fizzed from submarines, long - range artillery rained shells, tanks blasted through cities. Many battles, however, were fought at close quarters and it was here that the infantry looked to the power of small arm fire to gain the upper hand. This episode compares and contrasts some of these weapons, highlighting their development and use by all armies involved in the war. The weapons under review include Mortars, Landmines, Bazookas and Hand Grenades - some of the most feared instruments of war ever invented. 3D graphics and animation is featured to illustrate the workings and capabilities of the weapons and there are interviews with historians and military authorities.
Description
By the end of World War Two, the once mighty Luftwaffe was a pitiful shadow of its former self - a beaten force shattered by the massive superiority of Allied airpower. This fascinating programme tells how German High Command contributed to its downfall, despite the undoubted skill of German fighter pilots and several innovations in aircraft design. German Fighters features archive footage taken from German and Allied sources and the very latest 3D computer generated animation techniques.
