I watched "The Gate" when I was 11 or 12 years old, I can't remember right now, and I thought it was very scary and likable, but you know...a kid at this age is not so selective; I also loved all the Jason movies...Some years later, when I was 16, I bought an old VHS tape from a broken up video store, and I watched it with my friends again and again and again...it was unbelievable, I really couldn't understand why this movie was so underrated. A long time has passed, my tape got moldy, and since that day my heart was filled with sorrow, I really miss it so much!
But it doesn't matter, let's go to the point: it's not so original, with all that heavy metal things and records spinning backwards, but who cares? What's so original nowadays? The fact is:"The Gate" has tons of fun and the special effects are OK(well, we can't expect too much from a low budget movie made in1987)...it's really pitiable that I still haven't watched it in DVD yet...In Brazil, this movie is out of catalog, and it's REALLY hard to find a VHS copy. So, what can I say? To my folks from the rest of the world, I recommend it, specially if you're a huge fan of horror movies, just like me; and for all my Brazilian neighbors, run and search for a VHS copy of "The Gate", but prepare yourself, 'cause it's gonna be a long journey..

As a huge fan of the laziest cat on Earth, I confess that I was really expecting too much of this movie, but when I watched it, I got a bit disappointed... "Garfield" is not a bad movie at all, but is far away than all the fans expected, for some reasons in particular:
First of all, this movie is basically for children. Anyone who read the original Garfield's comic books knows that his sarcastic humor is for all ages, not just for kids.
The second problem in my opinion maybe can divide some opinions, but let's go: Garfield is lazy, as we all know, but this is an action movie...and nothing is more anti-Garfield than action! I think that a comedy of situations based on all Garfield's countless books could be more interesting, his loyal legion of admires will certainly agree with my point of view.
But, after all, if you just want some fun for a while, this movie will entertain you. Bill Murray is great doing Garfield's voice, very faithful to his shameless and ironic personality. The rest of the cast is OK; a bit affected sometimes, specially Breckin Meyer (Jon Arbuckle), he looks a lot like the cartoon version of Garfield's owner, but I really think that he is exaggerated, always trying to look goofier and goofier... Well, whatever, I think that I must getting older and complaining about things that are not so serious. Kids will love "Garfield" and adults with child's heart will like it as well...at least, if you're not so hard to please as I am...
