What Happens in Vegas
Posted : 3 days, 21 hours ago on 24 August 2008 01:45
(A review of What Happens in Vegas)I actually had quite low expectations for this movie after seeing it advertised repeatedly all month on the trailer tape at work - to the point where I wasn't even going to take it home! But, in the end, I did, and the movie was somewhat better than what I had been expecting, though it is still pure stupidity and completely predictable, I can at least honestly say it does have SOME entertainment value. Not much, but enough to give the movie a watch if you want some brain dead entertainment.

Prom Night (Unrated)
Posted : 3 days, 21 hours ago on 24 August 2008 01:43
(A review of Prom Night (Unrated))I was talking to a customer the other day who asked what this movie is rated, and I was quite surprised to see that Prom Night is rated 18A....why is it rated 18A? Who knows, since this is one of the most tame and boring horror movies I have ever seen. Not much in the way of gory killings - in fact, only one killing that I recall really took place on screen, and happened above the waist. The rest of the people who died in this movie all seemed to get stabbed in the gut, and you didn't even get to really see it, or much blood after the fact either. Not much suspense in this movie either, which is quite surprising for a horror movie...and along with the lame dialogue and acting, and quite predictable storyline, this movie is definitely not deserving of such a high rating. More like PG. And, really, don't ever watch this. Stick with the original Prom Night if you want something worth watching!

Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?
Posted : 3 days, 21 hours ago on 24 August 2008 01:39
(A review of Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?)An excellent film, filled with humour, and lots of serious moments as well.
Morgan Spurlock travels around the Middle East in search of Osama Bin Laden and discovers that most of the people he encounters share similar interests and wants in life, whether they agree with American politics or not. Well done, and very interesting.

Doomsday
Posted : 2 weeks, 5 days ago on 8 August 2008 12:08
(A review of Doomsday (Unrated Widescreen Edition))Completely excellent, from start to finish. Full of death, action packed chase scenes, fight scenes, great cast, good story, great effects...Doomsday is one to watch if you enjoyed movies like 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, Dawn of the Dead, etc...I loved this movie, and will surely watch it more than just the once!

Nim's Island
Posted : 2 weeks, 5 days ago on 8 August 2008 12:05
(A review of Nim's Island (Widescreen Edition))I cannot believe that Jodie Foster actually agreed to do this movie. It is completely ridiculous, not to mention, irritating. Yes, this will appeal to small children who will probably want to watch it more than once, but for anyone over the age of six, sitting through it even once will likely be more than a little painful. I sat through the entire thing, hoping it would get better, but it didn't, and it was predictable from start to finish. The way the trailers are cut together, I was misled in terms of what I expected (and hoped) to see. A big fat disappointment for sure.

P2
Posted : 2 weeks, 5 days ago on 8 August 2008 12:02
(A review of P2 (Widescreen Edition))Yes, this is a pretty low budget movie, with not the best acting...but it's pretty decent for what it is. I enjoyed watching it, and winced a couple of times during the movie, even though it was completely predictable....it is still worth watching if you are a horror fan.

Superhero Movie - Extended Cut
Posted : 1 month, 3 weeks ago on 7 July 2008 01:23
(A review of Superhero Movie (Extended Edition))When I first saw that this one was coming, I refused to take it home from work, because I knew it would be totally stupid, and I thought there was no point. Then, a co-worker told me it was "surprisingly funny", so I thought I might as well check it out. It started off well enough - though still completely stupid and ridiculous - and it even had me laughing right off the bat. But, I think I only really laughed a few times, and the rest of the movie had me rolling my eyes and wishing I hadn't bothered to watch it. It is pretty bad (though better than "Meet the Spartans", the last new spoof movie I watched), with pretty lame jokes. Lots of spoofing Spider-Man, which is no surprise. The best part of the movie, for me, was Brent Spiner in a smaller role.

The Ruins (unrated)
Posted : 1 month, 3 weeks ago on 5 July 2008 06:49
(A review of The Ruins (Unrated Edition))While the one male actor (the doctor wannabe) bugs me, the rest of this movie is awesome...and gruesome. I was covering my eyes for a lot of the scenes where blood, and a knife, was involved...but I loved this movie. The end was a bit crap, but only the very, very end. The rest was well done, from start - well, the start of their trek, not the start of the movie - to finish. Aside from the one actor bugging me, all the actors did great jobs with their parts, and I will definitely be watching this one again in the future. Great suspense, and yes, plants are more than a bit scary now!

The Tracey Fragments
Posted : 1 month, 3 weeks ago on 5 July 2008 06:45
(A review of The Tracey Fragments)"The Tracey Fragments" is a very fragmented film. I like the way it was put together, though it is a bit frustrating, to have to watch and wait until the very end of the movie to find out just what happened to her brother. Ellen Page is excellent once again, playing the lead role, and the only role worth watching here. Excellent movie, though the boy "Billy Zero" creeps me out :)

Drillbit Taylor
Posted : 2 months ago on 28 June 2008 12:50
(A review of Drillbit Taylor (Unrated Extended Survival Edition))There are some pretty funny things in the movie, but there is a lot of violence that I don't really find funny, and the movie's story is pretty lame. I don't think it's funny that the bully is shown to be so super violent, not to mention the amount of violence actually shown in the movie that is, I guess, intended to get laughs, which is really sad and disturbing.
Overall, aside from the violence, Drillbit Taylor is okay for the stupid humour (higher quality than most silly movies that are just churned out, but still a bit too formulaic for me...like the writers are getting a bit stale - time for something fresh, guys!!), but there could have been less of a focus on the violence, and the fact the bully seemed to be a sociopath who no authority figures ever seemed to catch in the act was more than a bit unbelievable.
And the ending is just completely ridiculous.
