The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)
Good court room drama with sprinkles of good horror
I thought this movie had to much court room scenes and to little Emily Rose scenes. This movie was not advertised correctly, I don't remember any court room stuff in the trailers when it came out in theaters, and then I go to watch the movie expecting something more like The Exorcist and instead I get something more like The Firm or A Time To Kill. The scenes with Emily Rose were very effective and freaky, but there wasn't enough. I had this problem with The Village, a movie that turned out to be more drama then horror. I thought the movie was well done as far as acting and direction, but it did not deliver on a horror level like I expected. If the movie would have eliminated the whole court thing and been about what happened to Emily while it was happening to her instead of in flash backs then it would have been more intense and effective, I think. I would give this 6/10. Still interesting and entertaining, just didn't deliver like I thought.
Dead End (2003)
When good times go bad. This movie is good.
I rented this movie hoping to find a horror movie a notch above most of the rest, and I succeeded. I really enjoyed this movie, it delivered on most levels and I look forward to seeing it again. I highly recommend this movie, especially to anyone who likes horror movies that take place all in one night and have a lot of unpredictable things happen. Ray Wise is a good actor that should be seen more often, in fact the whole cast did a good job. Really well done all across the board. This movie also delivered some funny dialog and situations, well written. This movie also makes you not want to take the back roads ever again. I would give this movie ***/****
Elephant (2003)
Half the movie is walking...
I thought this movie was interesting and different, but I have to say that there was way to many scenes that went on way to long, like the walking scenes. So many times I got frusterated because I was waiting for something to happen that took over 50 minutes to happen. This movie really could have done without so many tediouse shots of walking and other drawn out scenes- here's an idea, maybe put in some entertaining scenes that build character and plot. I don't want to rank on this movie, but I am frusterated with the first two thirds of the movie. Also, nothing was explained, with all that time of people walking around, it would have been nice to get to know the characters a littel better.
Batman Begins (2005)
Best Batman movie of the year
WARNING MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! I love it when an action movie takes over an hour to get to the action. The first hour made me want to hurt a small animal, but i didn't, even though i wanted to. I couldn't believe that Bruce Wayne was raped by bats when he was little, but i guess that explains why he is obsessed with bats- it's kind of like how a girl can get raped and then grow up to become a porn star or stripper obsessed with sex. The action at the end was fun, it made me feel guilty for wanting to hurt a small animal. I look forward to a sequel, that should be fun, but i will not watch it with a small animal. I would give this movie **/**** And i highly recommend this move to any one who likes bats and/or guys that like to dress up like bats. I wonder if Robin will be in the sequel, i suppose that's when they are going to deal with Batmans homosexuality.
North Pole #38 (2003)
Adult fluff that makes you feel like going out and buying a zebra decored couch and black nylon stalkings.
This long awaited sequel opens up with a bang as Peter tosses Kaylani around the back yard like asians are going out of style, showing us that pig-tails are not just for little girls, but young Asian women as well. Next is Daytona, doing her best to live up to being named after a city known for car racing. Amy and Jaden are the only two gals in a threesome scene, but they have that 'deer in headlights' look to them like they don't know why they're there, especially during the money shot they look confused, or maybe they are just trying to remember if they left the stove on, or if they should put their shoes on first or their pants when it's over- how about some enthusiasm girls. Rita delivers the goods, showing off her lovely black stalkings. And finally, Heather Oaks and Peter show us some other things to do with a lawn chair other then catch a sun tan. Good fun for some of the family.
Gothika (2003)
"Watch out for that dead girl standing in the middle of the road!"
Good fun from beginning to end, Berry looks good most of the time throughout this bowl of mixed nuts. One problem with the movie was that they didn't utilize Halle's wet shirt after the pool incident, if you know what I mean. Charles S. Dutton, whom I've met by the way, is saucy.
Well made flick that delivers the goods, I wasn't terribly scared, but my hot butt was on the edge of the juice stained lazy-boy chair till the movie expired. Some creative camera work and state of the art editing made this movie visually stimulating to the sense. I hope that they make a bunch of sequel's, like for example have Halle and Penelope go on a road trip and then get haunted by Dutton's psychotic ghost, that would be neat.
North Pole #4 (1998)
Kudos to Mr. North for showing us how the 'reverse-reverse piggyback' is done right.
After watching this gem of a sequel, I need 4 bottles of ice cold water just to cool down. Peter North delivers the goods, one of my personal favorites is the reverse-reverse piggy back in scene one- thats the kind of attention that will make her toes curl. And once again Mr. North offers a good swimsuit idea for the ladies in scene one.
In one scene a female lead is wearing sunglasses, good idea for a Peter North feature, not that it's sunny out, but there are a lot of things shooting through the air- could be dangerous to the eyes. So in closing, ladies take note at the summertime gear that is displayed.
The Top 25 Adult Stars of All Time (1999)
Powerful compilation of good times that makes you scream for more.
Watching this intriguing flick made me want to scream, "More!", but I didn't, I simply just watched it again. It was nice to see some vintage adult film clips from the past 25 years, and see some good times had by some of the luckiest people in the world. Another thing, I didn't realize how creepy and freaky some of those old scenes can be, particularly the scene in the boiler room- that was weird, it made me want to read my Bible and go to church. But then again, I am a little creepy and freaky as well.
Kudos to the production team on this one for installing audio commentary by Jill Kelly and some guy.
Duplex (2003)
Zesty fruit basket with salted cashews.
Good movie that delivers the goods. Drew B. is looking good as usual and Ben S. is on the ball as always. De Vito does well behind the camera. One of the things that frusturated me the most was the fact that they couldn't kill the old lady and had to hire a hit-man at the price of selling all their stuff. The twist at the end was kind of cool, I didn't see that one coming.
Another thing that got to me was that none of the problems would have happened, probably, if Stiller would have just put his foot down at the beginning and told that old bag, "No." Or just not answer the door. And as far as the loud TV that kept them up at night, they should have gone up there and demanded she turn it down. Other then those few frusturating things, this movie is fun and i would like to see it again.
North Pole #8 (1999)
Time and space collide in this amazing, long awaited sequel.
Peter North is a god in some country's, particularly the United States. His movies are a plethera of flesh that only African tribes can fathom. Peter's Pool Party offered some great summer bathing suit ideas for the ladies, I personally like the white one myself. This isn't the best North Pole, but it has it's moments, and also some freaky stuff, like double action, if you know what i mean- like two snakes trying to get down the same hole. Another good thing I must add, is that Peter North is not creepy, like for example, Mike Horner, who acts like something off the Discovery Channel.
I would give this a 7/10.
The Watcher (2000)
A killer that listens to Rob Zombie can't be all bad.
Alright, I liked the idea that the cops had till nine pm to locate the victim or else. Created some good suspense that made me yell out the window, "Hey, this movie is 'tickle me Elmo' fun!"
Keanu is somewhat convincing as the bad guy, and Spader is somewhat convincing as the good guy. Personally they should have killed each other at the end- maybe holding hands as they jumped out the window into the bay. Another thing, Spaders role should have been a drunk. I think the movie would have been better if Keanu played the good guy and Spader played the bad guy, i think maybe.
I would like to see a prequel, it could be called THE WATCHER: IN THE BEGINNING.
