Underworld
awesome
everything you ever wanted in a vampire vs werewolves movie. i really liked it. great special effects, good story with a good twist, good acting and i didnt even reconize more than 2 people that i could place. i loved it, see it again and buy when it comes out.

the Shadow
okay
the father of batman will have a special place in my heart. you want to know where the inspiration for Batman came from? Look no further than the adventures of Lamont Cranston, who seeks vengeance on the urban riff raff as the Shadow. This mediocre picture features the thespian talents of Ian Mcellan before he became the master of magnetism or the wizard supreme, as well as tim curry, and of course the star, and my personal pick for Batman, Alec Baldwin.

kids in the hall : brain candy
hilarious
i dont iknow how they did it. how do you make a movie based off of a sketch comedy show. now some of the sketches from snl have been made into whole movies (i.e.- wayne's world, night at the roxbury, and ladies man) but what if all of the snl characters were in amovie together? it had to be a hard project to write. but they pulled it off in canadian kids in the hall style. i laughed and laughed. it is wortha watch. i loved the lorne micheals boss character.

boiler room
good
wall street for the new millenium. this is a pretty good flick with some up and comers. i am a big fan of giovanni ribisi. he did a really good job of playinga kid who wants to get up top with out working too hard, but when he finds out that the only way to do it without getting thrown out of the game. makes for a great movie to watch on a lzy afternoon if your in the mood for a suspense drama. the scenes between ribisi and his characters father re pretty good and i connect with them because sometimes that the way your own life scenes go.

good
psycho backwards. it was fairly good story with a pretty nice twist for those who have never seen it. if you do see it try to imagine not knowing who jason is or anything. i htought there were some pretty good scenes in it, some good scares. all in all i give it half a thumb up.

Clean and Sober
awesome
a really touching drama. i love this movie, it is a personal favorite. i saw it for the first time on a recorded tape my dad had, it came on right after this x-men cartoon my dad taped for me. well, i was watching it one day and was too lazy to stop the tape or something and watched it. i fell in love it since. micheal keaton's first dramatic role, which landed him the national society of film critics best actor award. not only was his performance great but i really felt like the movie captured the emotions and mood of putting your life together through AA and trying to help someone as well. i have afriend who is heavily invovled with AA and have begged her to watch it. if this movie doesnt touch you, then you are a friggin robot.

PREDICTIONS
scary movie 3
goodthere is a degree of humor that falls below mine and it seems that trl comedies such as american pie and scary movie have fell into this crevass, but i think sm3 will actually be pretty funny. they have some more movies to make fun of and hopefully wont just rely on playboy cartoon sex comedy. i somewhat liked the first, hated the second, but hopefully this next one will be pretty good.
rundown
maybe goodthe rock is now trying to follow into the footsteps of hulk hogan and andre and try to actually make a career out of movies. i dont think it will work because of how perfect his physique is for wrestling. i never liked how it carried over the big screen. i didnt see scorion king, but i dont have to, i know it had to of sucked. fortunately the rock has a comic relief in stiller from american pie. hopefully he will do a little better job at comic relief in this movie than he was in bulletproof monk. watching the preview makes me think it will be romancing the stone meets WWF. and yes in the preview he did give someone the rock bottom. ugghh

freddy vs jason
awesome
15 years and worth the wait. i think they did an excellent job. friday and saturday nights it was sold out in my town. i finally got to go to the twilight show opening sunday. it was awesome. the story was pretty good. the best parts of the movie were the actual fight scenes between freddy and jason, but the filler wasnt that bad either and did both franchises justice. i was rooting for freddy. i never liked jason movies, but this one wasnt that bad at all. on my list to watch is the first friday the 13th, jason goes to hell, and jason x. i have seen all the nightmares at least 2 time a piece and soem a couple more. the plot was actually pretty good and the effects amde the movie, as you knew they would. now normally i cant stand a movie that stands completely on special effects, where 2/3s of shooting is in front of a green screen, but this is a movie that HAS to have good effects ro wont work. but it didnt just stand on effects alone, of course it didnt stand on its acting either, but.... no, seriously, we all know this movie is great because of the years we have all spent watching these moveis and wondering just what would happen if freddy met jason, and who woudl win in a fight. i mean the only reason i went with freddy and t bagg went with jason is because those were the movies we had seen teh most of and enjoyed. i think we know who we will be dressign as for halloween.

hellraiser 1
retarded
pinhead was there fro three scenes!!! a character that supposedly is the poster child for teh movie and he is only in there for three scenes and says like five maybe six lines with way too much melodrama and lighting and this is what you built a whole series upon? now granted, this the only hellraiser i have seen so far, but i mean come on. it was like a tlaes fromt eh crypt with really graphic scenes. i think it even would have been good without even seeing cinemites or whatever. they were more like a crowd pleaser. my roomate and i laughed at the lady having an affair with the biology lesson, and his jealousy with his borther who was actually her husband and had... youknow... a really big... you know.... EPIDURMUS!!! "once you go SKIN you never go back again!"
"honey, what are you doing with this man, and why doesnt he have any clothes on.... or SKIN?"
"its not what it looks like!"
lol
anyway. for the year it came out, the effects were pretty good. the sound was horrible, becasue the music would get really loud and then really soft, as well as the actors lines, plus i think like half of the male actors had dubbed voices.

house of a 1,000 corpses
hmmmmm
eye candy for those who think that is eye candy. i thought it was just a barage of horrorifying images. i was not disturbed, but then again, the exorcist does not phase me. i thought the story was confusing, which i have no doubt they wanted. i mean i could follow it, but then it just got retarded. i realy liked the clown, and i thought what they did do , they did well. there was nto a scene that you saw that you looked at said, man that is really cheesy. i had a friend who said it was an orgy, which i didnt see that. i also had a friend who said he felt like it was really evil. i dont know. maybe the fact that i saw it on dvd and he saw it in theatres changes it, but i just felt like it was one big rob zombie video without so much music. i can uderstand though how someone coming from that perspective would think it was really good, but i am not so i dont.
