Final Destination 3 (2006)
back to the basics
^^^^^^^SLIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD^^^^^^^^^ This movie is what horror films used to be, focusing more on gore than atmosphere (Gothica) and chills (Exorcism of ER). I think most people will agree that you don't need a good story to make a good horror film because more story would lean it towards the fantasy side of the genre. Besides you already know the plot from the first two movies so you do not need to wrap yourself up in it too much. The gore in this movie does not let up and it somewhat reminiscent of the Italian zombie movies of the late 70's and 80's (only slightly though ha ha). I'm pretty sure this movie was only made to make money and give gore fans a run for their money, which compared to other horror movies in the past years (exluding LOTD), it succeeds.
Land of the Dead (2005)
Unrated DVD Review
This review is for the unrated DVD of Land of the Dead. The movie is about a couple of zombie killers working for a sealed in city controlled by dennis hopper. Are you bored yet?? I would be too if the movie concentrated on that but thankfully there is an extreme amount of gore to not make the plot seem so bad. And by extreme I mean extreme. Maybe not by your standards because you watch Cannibal Holocaust everyday but for a fan of the zombie genre this is a very satisfying piece. It doesn't seem SHOCKING maybe because we have seen so much before but if you watch this movie and imagine it coming out in the 80's you will appreciate it much more.
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
An ausome movie with some of the best F/X ever
Okay okay, the only thing bad about this movie is the love dialogue and Hayden Christiansens acting. With that aside, you cant help but love this movie. (*Minor Spoilers*) Yoda and Mace Windu, the two baddest Jedi ever in battle, an addition 200 Jedi in battle (something never seen before) and Jango Fett what isn't to love about this movie. The only other things that upset me about this movie was the DVD. The deleted scenes were nothing exciting seeing how all of them revolved around Padme. Also I would have been completely satisfied if the dvd included John Williams isolated score. Other than Episode I this must be Williams best music, especially "Across the Stars" All in all this movie is probably the best of 2002. 9 out of 10
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
One word to describe this movie:OVERATED
I dont think is spelt overated right but thats not the point. The point is that this movie, which is a good fantasy flick, is completely overated. This movie should not be #6 on the top movies on this site. That is an insult to the movies it is above which are 1000 times better than it like Star Wars, The Seven Samurai, and especially Pulp Fiction.
The Abyss (1989)
good movie with ausome special effects
This movie is one of James Camerons lesser achievements but it is still a good movie. It's no T-2 but the special effects are great especially (*minor spoilers*) the alien who takes the shape of the water. I loved that part. All in all its worth watching, I give it a 7 out of 10
X2 (2003)
The best movie of 2003 period...so far
This movie exceeded my expectations. Watching the cartoons as a kid I always loved the X-Men and when the first movie came out I was really excited. The first movie was great but this one is outstanding. The special effects are ausome ranging from Nightcrawlers teleportation, to the scenes with the X-Jet. This film was more humorous and gave better insight into the characters than the first one. The only reason why this is not going to be the best movie of 2003 is because this year is going to be the best in movie history. With T3 and the new Matrix movies X2 has some tough competition. This movie is highly recomended to anyone who likes good movies.
The Practice (1997)
possibly the best show on television...ever
"The Practice" revolves around a small Boston lawfirm and thier cases and personal issues. This show is absolutely amazing. Most shows like these you have to watch from the beginning to understand anything but this and Law and Order is an exception. In Law and Order there is a new thing everyday so you dont need to watch previous episodes but this has a continuing storyline that is so easy to get into. The drama in and out of the courtroom is spectacular and this show is VERY addicting. I love this show and I watch it mostly everynight on FX, and I recomend this show to everyone who watches T.V.
Armageddon (1998)
worth seeing, good action and ausome special effects
This movie is not as good as other Bruckheimer productions such as The Rock and Conair but I liked this movie a real lot. The special effects were amazing especially the beggining part in NYC. The only thing I did not like about this movie was Liv Tyler, she is a bad actress and should not be in the movie buisness. The only reson why is she was in a few of her fathers videos. But anyway you will enjoy this if you like The Rock, Conair, or Bad Boys, which are some of my favorites. 7/10
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Number 1 film of all time. Simply amazing
This is the best movie of all time. Can someone please explain to me how Lord of the Rings is above this movie in the top 250 at this site. Better yet why is it above Star Wars. It is a good movie but it is nowhere near as ausome is this movie. I like this movie because I am a Die-Hard Star Wars Fan. Even if I wasnt I would still love this movie. Characters are much more developed and matured than in the first.
(Spoilers Ahead)
The movie was dark and the good guys did not win, and this made it all the better.
Only two positive things happened in this movie -Luke,Leia,Land, and Chewie escape from Bespin -Luke,Han, and Leia escape from Hoth
Everything else is dark -Hoth base being destroyed -Luke leaving Yodas training on Dagobah -Vader being Lukes father -Han Solo frozen and carbonite and taken by Boba Fett
Yoda was an excellent character, perfecly performed by Frank Oz and matures Luke from his recklessness. A romance from the two unlikely people begins, and a revelation so amazing (i do not have to say it, you must be pretty shut out from the world not to know it). That scene is the best one I have ever seen in a movie (yes, better than Travolta blowing Marvins head off in Pulp Fiction).
This movie will probably be my number 1 movie of all time for the rest of my life but we will see how Lucas Does in Episode III. There is only one other non star wars movie that comes close to this and that is Aliens. This movie belongs atleast in the top 10 at this site, not Lord of the Rings.
Some people will look at this review and will not get convinced at how ausome this movie is. Maybe cause I write bad or you have to be a Star Wars fan, either way this is movie making at it's peak, and unless someone makes a movie about the Sith Era, do not expect anything better anytime soon.
Starship Troopers (1997)
absolutely ausome sci-fi flick
I love this movie. I loved it when I saw it in theaters, and I love it when I watch it at home. Some people said this movie was gross and gruesome. It is not gruesome if it is not possible. An example would be a giant bug cutting someone in half. It is not possible so it is not gross and it is rather funny. Dont get me wrong Im not one of those guys who watches Faces of Death everyday. But say a man hacks up a guy with an axe, thats possible so its gross. There are the occasional ones you cant help to laugh at, no matter how gross they are like Travolta shooting Marvin in Pulp Fiction and Arnold shoving the pipe through the Docs eye in Total Recall (another Verhoeven masterpiece). Plus the special effects are amazing and the score is good too. So if you like sci-fi violence this is the movie for you. It is not the best sci-fi movie, nor is it Verhoevens best, but if you have not seen it, rent it. If you have seen it, buy the special edition 2-disc DVD. Too bad MGM is too cheap to make a special edition for Robocop
Total Recall (1990)
One of Arnolds best, I sci-fi masterpiece
When I was 5 my dad got this movie. I begged him to let me watch it but he said no. He eventually hid it somewhere in the house. I found it. I watched it. And I loved it. I did not watch it much after that. I fell in love with it again when I bought the special edition DVD (hey cant go wrong for 14 bucks) The movie was much better now then when I watched as a kid. This in my opinion was better than Robocop because of better Special Effects, Arnold was in it, and a better plot. The plot had plenty of twists and the violence...well its a Paul Verhoeven film so you can expect plenty of violence. This is one of my favorite action/sci-fi movies along with Aliens and T2. If you are any kind of an Arnold fan you must see this movie.
Resident Evil (2002)
pretty good video game to film adaptation, not as good as Mortal Kombat
This movie was not the best movie I have ever seen but it kept me entertained. I did not like Michelle Rodriguz in this film whatsover. The script was somewhat good but if you are into zombies gettin thier brains blown off this movie is for you. Recomended
Aliens (1986)
incredibly ausome action and sci fi flick
under the star wars movies (im a big star wars fan) this is definetely my favorite movie. the first time i saw it i didnt like it because of the boring beginning but as i watched it a few more times its not boring at all it gives good insight into ripley and you are compensated by the mesmorizing action and sci fi scenes plus michael beihns ausome acting.James Cameron took one of the best sci fi film and made a WAY better sequal and those dont come often (besides empire strikes back). Anybody who likes sci fi should definetely see this movie. I became MUCH more interested in sci fi films after watching this. This is HIGHLY recomended
Mr. Deeds (2002)
almost as bad as little nicky
Is it me or has Adam Sandler become really sloppy lately. This movie is not a comedy whatsover, it's a dumb love story with crappy dialoue, the one or two funny scenes were not even close to having me laugh. I wanted to walk out of the theater after the first half hour because I didnt laugh once, which is a sin with an Adam Sandler. Dont rent this movie unless you like watching bad movies
