Gamer (2009)

so much potential, falls flat by the presentation

[5/10 · 29 January 2010]

this movie, first off, is about a set of prisoners who are on death row get a chance to partake in a real life game environment called slayers..and the point of slayers is first one who survives all 30 rounds get out free. there was a twist though, but i honestly thought the twist wasn't that good cause it was still predictable feeling me unsatisfied. the movie itself is fast paced and some of the acting is a little over the top and it is entertaining for what it is, but lacks in so many aspects making the movie have good potential but doesn't deliver what you are promised, even the violence's isn't that bad, gory yes but most of it is so fast paced, one blink you miss it, also if you have epilepsy, "DON'T watch this movie, you will have a seizure" the scary part is that this is something that could very well happen. this movie at best is a rental if you have nothing better to do on a Friday night with a few friends, and shut off your brain for 90 minutes. the movie itself just didn't do it for me which is why i'm giving it 5/10.

Front of the Class (2008 TV Movie)

with a person with tourettes, this movie moved me.

[10/10 · 8 December 2008]

one word to describe it. Wow.

Front of the class is about the true story of a kid with tourettes who's lifelong goal is to become a teacher but has to overcome his obstacles with tourettes. with a dad that never accepted him as a son, kids who don't know anything about the desease and all the things in between but what made this movie great was the determination to not only people with tourettes or a disability but people who dog you by saying your no good for this or you will never amount to anything. the movie has good acting and the determination that goes along with the movie and the cast is top notch. this movie has heart, and with a guy that has tourette syndrome, i could relate and it kept me keeping all hope going and pursue my dreams. defiantly worth a watch if your curious about tourettes, or just a great drama that sucks you in.

10/10. HIGHLY recommended.

The Onion Movie (2008)

you ain't got the balls...

[10/10 · 30 May 2008]

the onion movie. 90 minutes of pure news based on satire, and fake news. how is 90 minutes used to keep you focused and entertained? very cleverly, and that is what the onion movie did. What this movie does that makes it so great, it sticks to what it says it's going to do; It keeps you entertained and to be laughed at, including pushing the rating(which if you get the unrated, it's better), but it has all of your typical humor about blacks, Irish, nerds, sex, etc. but not overly used, which a lot of comedies use as a crutch. As this movie progresses you will eventually see a preview of the "infamous" Steven segall, as "cockpuncher" which is used through out the movie. it's cheesy, and funny without being over the top. The news is actually something to take into an effect as something that could be used today. that is fake news at it's peak. this movie is what it says it is going to be. so when/if you get a chance, rent this movie, sit back, laugh your face off, and enjoy 90 minutes of pure unadulterated humor. 5/5-go pick up this movie.. or at least rent it.

Mr. Woodcock (2007)

over-hyped yet had some "Fun" moments

[5/10 · 13 February 2008]

well what can i say? Mr. Woodcock, staring sean William Scott, and Billy Bob Thortan, what could go wrong? well enough to make this movie over-hyped, flawed, and almost miss able but there are some moments on this movie that make it watchable.

Sean William Scott was a fat kid when he was little, picked on by a mean PE teacher Mr. Woodcock. He was humiliated, and tormented. Now 15 years later he just got done publishing a book about pushing through, thinking he was done with Mr. Woodcock, until he goes back to visit his mom, then finds out Mr. Woodcock is dating his mom. then it's a cat and mouse game to make Mr. woodcock leave his mom and be happy again.

The comedy, yet predictable, still makes you chuckle but can be a little boring. over all 2 stars out of 5.

good for a rental.

Hostel: Part II (2007)

i can say that it really wasn't AS good as the first one.

[6/10 · 9 June 2007]

well today i went to see hostel part II and i was like oh sweet! thinking it was gonna be as good or better then the first one. the beginning looked promising, and then it started up slowly and ended up being a big snore fest through out. i'm not saying it was horrible because it wasn't.. it was a decent horror movie that was put up with too much hype, including the "shocking" ending(which believe in me, is REALLY shocking lol.. it made me cringe but i'm not saying anything.) The thing i liked about this movie though is the fact that u can feel some of what there feeling and that's what makes a movie like this pretty good. The violence is over the top, and the acting is pretty much on par. coming from a fan of the original, and liking these kind of movies, it really was a disappointment so my final recommendation is to just wait until the DVD release. 6/10.

Return of the Living Dead: Rave to the Grave (2005)

the only thing this movie will do to your brains is warp it...

[2/10 · 8 April 2007]

wow were to start.. OK first off all the reviews that said it suxed were true, i was actually having an open mind on this movie considering all the bad reviews. The story is bad, SO many plot holes, and gore that makes Mr. jingles look decent, i mean who ever gave this guy who directed it rights needs to quit the business.. i'm a HUGE die hard zombie fan but this.. i don't even know what happened. The ending was what REALLY screwed this movie over.. i'd rather sit through tourestas again(which is also a bad movie) then watch this piece of crap again. i gave it a 2 cause some of the humor.. very little but some made me chuckle. don't waste your time with this one.

Rest Stop (2006 Video)

Interesting movie that is worth a shot..

[5/10 · 25 October 2006]

OK, i'm just gonna come out and say it.. it was a bad movie, but it was watchable, trust me, i've seen A lot of movie they are way worst then this, now on to the review, summarizing in one word, twisted. it made for some boring moments, disturbing material, and an OK but linear story line.. the gore for all your gore hounds are over the top on some part like one scene where the girl gets locked in, and tries to unlock it from the outside, but ends up getting her figure literally bitten off. i'm not gonna ruin it for a lot of people tho, but it i over the top on some parts.. the ending was what you would expect for a B movie with limited no experienced actors. it wasn't the best horror movie but it seriously wasn't the worst. i give it 5/10, good rent-able movie, BUT nothing else.

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

intense car chases leaving you on the edge of your seat!

[10/10 · 17 June 2006]

wow.. i had my thoughts about this movie.. i liked the first 1.. i watched half of the second one and i quite watching it half way in it.. and now were at the third one.. when it started i was like interesting. about not even 5 minutes in the movie, we see one of the many car chases/races that will leave you on the edge of your seat. for people that didn't think this movie had a story, it sure did, and it flowed good. the theathre was full and i don't think anyone left but i was too focused on the movie.. i can well say it was well worth the admission price. i highly recommend this for car racing fans or someone looking for a lot of action. 10/10!

When a Stranger Calls (2006)

when a stranger calls, u don't stay in the house and try to fight him off....

[2/10 · 17 May 2006]

well what do you know, another pg-13 remake. it tells a story of a teen that uses up the minutes on her phone but her mom goes PMS over it so she has to get a babysitting job but she doesn't know that she's being stocked by a "stranger." this movie is so predictable that i could make this movie in about no more then 10 minutes, putting every element in it to make it less boring, but i've got to admit that the atmosphere of this movie sets up nicely, the acting is average at best and the house was big. hopefully the sequel is much better but i wouldn't get my hopes up. i'm giving this movie a 2/10, wait for HBO or any other movie channels to watch it.

The Choke (2006)

a great direct to DVD movie

[7/10 · 27 April 2006]

i can understand why people hated this film but it really isn't that bad. sure the acting is a little over the top but the suspense and that twist is pretty good in the movie. i liked how they used the wonder bread factory for some of it cause it gave it more mystery. the gore isn't that over the top either, it's mainly left to the imagination and some after sides of the deaths but nothing all that bad. if your looking for a movie to watch on a Saturday when your bored out of your mind, give this movie a try, you'll either love it or hate it.. i personally thought it was a decent direct to DVD hit. 7/10, give it a try.

High School Musical (2006 TV Movie)

"stick to the status quote"

[10/10 · 15 March 2006]

A movie that is by far the best Disney channel movie that i've seen i a long time. The acting was right on, the Songs were catchy and the whole plot was not predicable and had a nice touch to it with a little humor in it making it one of the better movies to appear on Disney channel. The songs like i said were right on par and were catchy to listen to and not a hurt to the ears like some other movies that throws in singing and stuff to that matter. i liked it and it will put a smile on your face. the only thing i wish is that they would of kissed at the end but it didn't take anything away from the movie, watch it when it comes on again cause you want feel ripped off. 10/10. A+

Zoey 101: Spring Break-Up (2006) Season 2, Episode 10

A movie that could of been better but let down by the shortness, and pointless ending

[5/10 · 13 March 2006]

what can i say expect i had high hopes for this movie after seeing the previews and that it would be interesting and a good nick movie but got let down by the shortness for one and not enough drama or whatever you call it in a show like this cause it looked like there was going to be a big climax that could attract the brain, wow was i wrong. i liked the concept and i'll admit it wasn't all that bad and the reason is because they did exactly what the movie was about, go to Logan's house for spring break but then get on TV where push comes to shove, but like i said due to the shortness it could of been much better so that's why i'm giving this movie 5/10. average.

Date Movie (2006)

Funny, Funny, and more Funny!

[10/10 · 26 February 2006]

wow, i had really mixed opinions about this movie cause of the reviews, and all i can say, is that for people that hated this movie does not have a sense of humor, what would you expect, a movie that won a Grammy, no, to make someone smile, and have a good time, and that's exactly what this movie did. i went yesterday with a friend, and we along with the whole theathre was laughing through out the whole movie, i mean it was hysterical. It was well made, and the spoofs fit the movie, but it is pretty gross, for people that does not like a lot of gross things, then you might not want to see it or let kids watch it, but if you want a good laugh then definitely, GO see this movie! for the people that hated it, get a sense of humor cause it's not going to get any better. 10/10!

The Fog (2005)

the fog blows not only your money but you also for the crappy production....

[1/10 · 28 January 2006]

wow, just wow. this movie is really bad. i read all the reviews saying how crappy this movie was but then i decided to rent it to see if they were right, and oh boy were they right. it was too slow and the acting was awful along with the production product. the first one was good but this one doesn't even go along with the original while is what a remake is suppose to do, relive the masterpiece of the original. and come on people, if you going to make a pg-13 horror movie.. DO IT GOOD! this is pure crap and didn't deserve to be released so ya don't waste your time with this movie cause it is pure crap! final score. 1/10. if you want a decent pg-13 horror movie go get cry wolf and avoid this at all cost!!

The Real World (1992– )

This show sucks!!

[6 December 2005]

good god, could they make a show so f*ing boring??? this isn't what u call reality show, it's fake reality show like all the other crappy, boring, shows like Laguna beach. first off, the plot is SO trite and over used, girl likes guy, guy likes girl, guy cheats on girl, girl gets SO emotional with all this drama crap, and then girl brakes up with guy and then they start a big fight, it's like that in every episode, i totally hate this show and hope it goes off air really really soon to make all the madness stop! sorry for all the people that like this show but to me it personally sucks! really bad and it can just rot.

0 out of 10- Avoid at all cost!

Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story (2005 Video)

an OK movie that has some laughs

[6/10 · 8 October 2005]

This movie in it's way is described in 1 word... meh. knowing family guy and a fan of it, i was kinda disappointed at it a bit. i would of thought it would be like really funny and such but i've only laughed about a maximum of 6 times out of the whole movie. the cast is done very well and delivers what family guy fans are looking for; and about that uncensored thing.. wtf is with the dubbing of the language? isn't suppost to be uncensored and not on TV. i finally found out how to get it to make it not dubbed by going to the special features to turn it off and on, and what not. the plot was very good also. All in all it was a good movie, with some flaws. die hard fans of family guy will go wild for it, but i'm not that kinda person. 6/10 rent it first if your not sure.
