Bowling for Columbine (2002)

Powerful

[9 November 2003]

I sheaded tears twice during the movie, although it moves extremley slow, it is a definete must see. The movie is brutally honest, at times extremley hilarious, and very very very very sad. An of course, it makes me think about packing my bags and heading over to Canada.

Frenzy (1972)

I didn'tknow Hitchock would explore this subjuect

[9 November 2003]

Having no idea what "frenzy" was all about, i knew it had to do with murder becauseof Hitchy. But Rape and murder? Two horrible crimes but of course, they never looked more pleasnat to watch on camera, showing aboslutley nothing, and using your imagination to fir the picture. Acting is wonderful, and you never get bored for a second

Four Rooms (1995)

Why dont I like this movie?

[8 November 2003]

And why have peopletold me this movie is uproarious. Its not at all, its great to see madonna in here, but personally the whoel movie looks like it would be shown at a theater, which is not bad..but nothing in this movie is funny. The Misbehavers is pretty good, but Quentins Segment was pretty dumb, along with the wife and husband... avoid

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986)

Harrowing, Sick, Nasty-- but Good!

[8 November 2003]

Very conmparable to Last House on the Left... Henry, is a tale of a serial killer who just offs people whenever the time is. Done with no holds baring, the movie is very interesting and extremley frightening at the very end. Reccomended to all horror fans, but be cautioned, some of this material is off the wall

Better Luck Tomorrow (2002)

Interesting movie

[6 November 2003]

I was very hyped to see this movie so i finally rented it and enjoyed it very much.. great story, allright script and acting, and a wonderful ending. highly reccomend. I loved the whole center around the asians as we face alot of sterotypes in our society. its funny how crazy things are

Don Juan DeMarco (1994)

Nice romantic comedy

[6 November 2003]

dont like too many romantic comedies, but this one ws actaully entertaining witty and clever. also for some strange reason, i saw the beauty in faye dunaway, she looks HOT in this movie.. blah blah blah, catch it if u get a chance, you will, not be dissapointed

Dawn of the Dead (1978)

Didn't think to much of it

[6 November 2003]

This so called"brilliant" sequel is 2 hours 2 long, was hooked in the begining then of course, it was all the same thing u saw 10 minutes ago.. i dunno why ebert gave it 4 stars, but i defineitly give it 1 1/2, it just isnt all that great in my opinion, night of the living dead is still the original classic

Alien (1979)

AMazing

[2 November 2003]

I just recently viewed Alien in the theaters, and it was my first time-- i have seen ever sequel.. this movie was great, director ridley scott sure knows how to establish mood and making the viewer very unsettle.. nice jump scenes and creepy atmosphere.. awesomemovie

Veronica Guerin (2003)

Sticking your nose where it doesn't belong

[23 October 2003]

Veronica Guerin is a true story about a journalist who sticks her nose in the wrong area, and continues although she is cautioned to stop before it is too late. The acting by Cate is wonderful, and although the film moves slow, it doesn't bore. *** out of ****

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

CLICHED BULLS****

[19 October 2003]

I was so amped on seeing this movie, and although i enjoyed the movie because the cinemtography was SUPERB, the film itself sucked. The script sucked, the acting sucked, the story? it sucked!! the only thing enjoyable is the buzzing of the chainsaw and the blood. we get no story to the family, and we never get to see them in action... there is also no morning sequence.. wow just watch the original.. this one is crap

Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)

.....

[10 October 2003]

Kill Bill is crazy, energetic, fun, insane.. so i highly reccomend it. The music is wonderful and appropriate at all times. The opening credit sequence is hypnotising, as well as flashbacks.... i cant wait till vol. 2

Lost in Translation (2003)

OVERRATED--- but not bad

[22 September 2003]

I enjoyed the film, laughed at moments. Everyboyd played their characters well. I dont find this film romantic, was bored at some points.. overall i was disapointed.. highly overrated./. but still worthy to check out.

A Very Brady Sequel (1996)

Uproarious!

[28 January 2003]

This movie is one of the funniest films I've ever seen. Way better than the first which is very unlikely. This movie just makes you laugh from the first frame to the very last. Not much more to say, a perfect comedy.

Serial Mom (1994)

A Classic

[22 January 2003]

This movie is one of the best black comedies of all time. Every scene is flawlessly funny, and of course the courtroom scene is phenominal... Kathleen Turner does not let down, I swear to god this movie rocks, especially when your intoxicated

The Hours (2002)

Definetly Best Film of the Year

[21 January 2003]

'The Hours' is just one of those films that you have to see to understand it. Sure you can say, this film is about three woman... but you cant get to in depth becuase you will confuse the listener.... but once the credits finish you realize how the movie is being presented. The editing is flawless, and the score is brilliant. This movie is for every film buff... I just couldnt understand why hoards of people walked out when i saw it.. oh well.. great movie

Punch-Drunk Love (2002)

Sledgehammer Love

[9/10 · 2 November 2002]

This movie rocked..point blank. It definetly showed a different better side to adam sandler. The chemistry bettwen Watson and Sandler was perfect. The storyline was perfect.. What else can be said? This movie was perfect.

***1/2 out of ****

The Ring (2002)

Better off Dead...

[18 October 2002]

The movie started perfect, and actaully the whole film was great until near the end with the well. The film failed to make any sense at all, and failed to explain how some things work. I must say however, the images were extremley creepy and it had me jumping and cringing in my seats at times. But, all in all..this was a dissapointing film since it wasnt explained at all, just shock value. Naomi Watts is hot, the actors are fine, direction is wonderful.

**1/2 out of ****

Red Dragon (2002)

'Red Dragon' BITES!!!

[15 October 2002]

This film was extremley overrated. I was eaglery happy, excitied to see a Hannbial Lecter film...but this was about 1 inch better than the horrid sequel. The begining and end of this film were brilliant. Anthony Hopkins does his damn finest, and Emily Watson gives a great performace. Harvey Keital and Ed Norton try their best at a bad role script. The reason I am so upset with this movie is that every problem the detectives came in contact with, they solved it in about 2.3 seconds. It wasnt believable to me. I loved the ending, Emily Watson made this film great.... Ralph Finnes did his best too

Trapped (I) (2002)

I was 'Trapped' into it

[28 September 2002]

Trapped *** out of ****

This movie is similar to "Ransom" in which a child is abducted, but in this movie there is a motive which I am not to fond of. Performances are great by Bacon, Love, and Theron. Twonsend on the other hand proved he can't act in "Queen of the Damned." The movie had me glued until the end "plane scene" which I found why too unbeleavable. But otherwise...highly recommended.

One Hour Photo (2002)

Unsettinling, Nervewrecking.....BRILLIANT

[2 September 2002]

How long has it been since a good suspense/drama came out? God only knows. This movie is creppy as hell, all it does is make you think about the world in which you live in, and if their is a guy like Sy the photo guy in your area. Although some performances don't deliver, Robin Williams does. Also, the score sucks.. 3/12***

Full Frontal (2002)

One of those Movies You have to see to Judge...

[8/10 · 4 August 2002]

"Full Frontal" ***1/2 stars

This movie is extremley intriguing, and that's all I can pretty much say about this picture.. This is a type of movie that the plot cannot be told, you have to watch it to figure it out for yourself, much like "Mulholland Dr.." But this is real and twisted. All you really really NEED to know, is that all of the characters come in common at the end, except for one.. and those characters I felt have no use in the film.

Panic Room (2002)

One of the most cleverest thrillers!!

[31 March 2002]

I was a bit spectical about seeing this movie, the preview didn't leave much. I thought it was going to have very little story for a movie, well it does. That's just the whole point. This movie has very incredible suspense. I have never been in a movie where the audidence actually screamed at the screen, and scremaed together, and clapped together all at the same time. It reminded me of hearing stories of when the first "psycho" came out. This movie is very clever, and jodie foster is just amazing in this role. A definete must see.

Pulp Fiction (1994)

Definetly One Of the Best Films Of All Time!!!

[13 March 2002]

This movie is full of obscanities, violence, it is gritty, gutter, shocking, real...and definetly the best. What makes this movie, and not Slumber Party Massacre the best, is that this movie provides insight on the life of hitmen. Generally speaking, a day in the life of a hitman, not really there life. From what I seen, it was a day in the life of Jules and Vincent. That's why this movie is so excellent. It is just nothing anybody has ever seen, and the title warns you before you enter the theater, and also provides a definition of "pulp" before the movie starts. The performances are amazing, providing an all star cast, throughout. It's kinda hard who takes the cake.. Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta both provide amazing performances....Rossana Arqueete is great as a peircing junkie, Uma Thurman, well, watch it and youll see... and so on and so on.

What is there not to like about this movie? If your looking for a "gone With the Wind" you will not find it, this is a gritty, gutter movie, not afarid to let anything go, which is why Quentin Tarantino is my idol.

Psycho (1960)

We all go a little mad sometimes...

[13 March 2002]

We is there to say about "Psycho" that has not been said before. Ok, first off, this movie is genius..all the actors, and cre are genius. If you don't like this movie, you OBVIOUSLY don't know horror. Horror is not blood and guts, but the power of suspense, and thrills to control your mind. "Psycho" follows that pattern. First off. dont see the remake.

Don't get me wrong, I actually like the remake...but it's a chessy film, with bad acting. If you wanna see the full monty, rent the original. I havent found anyone (but my friends who only like gore horror) that dont like this movie. What's not to like, the movie is not boring at all!!!

The best part about this movie is that there are 2 plots and storylines mixed in one. M&M (Money and Mother)

I really don't want to give anything, not one thing away in this movie, cause that was Hitchcock's purpose (rent the dvd and you'll find out)

**** out of ****

Dogma (1999)

Wonderful

[6 March 2002]

I heard mixed reviews of this movie, i checked it out cuz i love these films (the new jersey series). This movie is awesome, and it's very controversial which makes it better. All the performances are great, although the film tends to go a bit slow. The film is a perfect religious story, unless theres a hidden message in the movie. I don't know how to give a review on this film, but whatever.

HAVE A NICE DAY
