Pet Sematary (2019)
Can't help but compare to original
When I saw this movie I couldn't help but to compare it to the original version. Also the makers of this new version put in some shots for the viewers to let them think the same thing is going to happen as in the original.
I don't mind a movie getting an update or twist in a remake or reboot. But in this case some scenes were a bit over the top. Screaming guy, while there was no point in screaming or a devilish looking/acting girl while this movie is nothing about that. Also you don't really get to know the characters. About their life or anything else so that the viewers actually feeling a connection with them. It's all too bland, short introduction, nothing else.
It's an entertaining movie which is not scared at all, apart from one or two jumpy scenes.
I'd prefer the original version which still makes it a better one, even in 2019.
Carrie (2002)
No, HELL NO what did they DO??
My all-time favorite film is definitely Carrie, yes, but NOT THIS Carrie.
Oh, i waited so long to get this DVD for so many months after aired on TV in the US and Canada. But hell, The first 10 minutes you see how bad the acting was by the girls and especially Tommy Ross, my god how bad. Then all the time while going through the movie you see survivors talking with a detective 2 weeks after the prom, that's so so so annoying, you really can't imagine.
The MUSIC, HELL, could this woman please make no music at all anymore, for not any production, it was totally screwed-up, it really didn't fit in the scenes that were played. Like, Carrie get it's bucket with pig blood all over her, and she takes revenge, what happens? a catchy nice melody is playing, like on someones birthday, it really wasn't excited AT ALL.
The scenes and the ending of the movie were also totally different from the Stephen King novel, people say it's more like the novel, well, i can't see which scenes exactly, besides the stones falling from the sky. Then this what's on the DVD "featuring eye-popping special effects and a shocking, all-new twist ending!" No No NO, this can't be happening, the CGI effects were SO bad, i was shaking NO with my head while watching it, terrible. Ending is Horrible, twist ending?, yeah, i wanted to turn off the DVD immediatly.
Then another thing which is STUPID in this movie, Carrie don't know what menstruation is, BUT she does know what internet is, and you know what, she even talks about BOTOX injections, GOD! The only thing i give it a FAIR rating is because Angela Bettis plays Carrie very well, she performs almost like Sissy Spacek did. The voice "IT'S CARRIE" looks the same, and she's also very weird acting, thumbs up for Angela.
People, stick with the old Carrie, deny the split screen and then watch Carrie 2 after, because this, A masterpiece of the baddest taste.
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life (2003)
European Premiere was great, Movie? Average
I went to it's European Premiere last night, Director Jan de Bont was there and...then this movie. It's just an average movie, but depending on what? If you compare it to the game, it's more like it, you will completely love it. Else it would be just a good movie. Great to know that Angelina is doing 80% percents of the stunts herself. The scenery of this movie is superb, 3 continents with all it's crew was tough according to Jan de Bont. But, Good is just an opinion by looking at the movie, some people will enjoy the many cultures only and will give it a high rating while others are looking at the acting and will give it a low rating, that's why an average vote. But i can tell you this, i think you might like it, and it's a movie you can and sure want to see.
Soul Survivors (2001)
Horror at Mulholland Dr.?
I thought it was a good movie. It did remind me of Mulholland Drive, but then as a horror movie. Although Mulholland Dr. was much more complicated and a better movie than this one i can recommend this movie to any thriller/horror freak out there. Cassie has got into an accident, but right after the accident she's got some terrible hallucinations. Will she stay alive? or get away from those people who are hunting her? Interesting movie which could have been better for exciting and stuff. But for a teen-horror movie, it was a quite good one.
Monster's Ball (2001)
Love And Tragic comes together
I liked this movie right from the start. Although there is no such thing as suspense or anything out of the ordinary, it's an extraordinary movie. By accident(s) two people come together, which aren't meant to be in the first way. It's a Love, but also a tragic story which will get to you all the way.
Some things i really didn't see coming, which i won't spoil here at all, and some things i wondered why it's not told in the movie, but i guess you'll have to see it yourself.
Original Sin (2001)
Good movie
Quite a good movie with Angelina Jolie and Antonio Banderas.
In the late 1800's Luis Antonio Vargas (Antonio Banderas) is going to meet his upcoming wife, Julia Russell (Angelina Jolie), he never met before.
She will arive by boat from the US, unfortunately she is not coming that evening. He's staying for the night and the next day, there she is.
She is even more beautiful than she is on the picture she sent.
Unfortunately for Luis she's more than just beautiful.
Although she's giving him the best sex (which appears in all it's glory in the unrated picture), she's also taken something away from him.
The story is very well done, but the overall and the picture quaility are some less, unfortunately i'll have to say, because it could have been a very good movie instead. But if you're not feeling very ashamed of heavy sex scenes i can recommend this movie picture to you.
The Art of War (2000)
Only one enemy
"Do you know who your enemy is?", YES, i do know now, this movie.
Hell, what were they thinking? Such a bad, VERY bad movie. No logic, not a good story, strange plot. Also for th action which is soooo boring. It's about a chinese invation in the US. All this movie is, is a look-a-like from the same old stories told in the middle 80's movies, nothing new under the sun. Unfortunately, not ONE good word from me for this one.
The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977)
70's Revival
Hilarious comedy about the happenings of the 70's. It's not just one movie, but all seperated parts which has got nothing to do with eachother. James Bond, Bruce Lee, Scary Guy, newsreporters grabbing their ass, it's all included in this movie. Only the story by Bruce Lee is a little bit too long in my opinion, and of course the movie is quite old and the jokes are not from this time anymore, that makes it a little less. But i still suggest if you like the comedy's of now, watch this one to see where it almost started.
Out of Athens Part 1 (2000)
Guys go to Athens!
If you're GAY and INTO Porn this is definitely the one you've been waiting for, one of the best Gay Porn movie ever made. The cutest and hottest guys playing (no guys not scrabbling) in the hottest Country in Europe "Greece".
Donnie Darko (2001)
Dark Bunny
Excellent movie, nice done, and the story, VERY original.
I didn't know what to expect really, as on IMDb it says: Fantasy, Mystery, Drama, Romance and Sci-Fi. So, without seeing any trailer or anything from this movie i bought this one. This was no dissapointment at all. Donnie has got a friend, in his head, a bunny. He takes him to all kind of places, but definitely not the places i would like to go. The end of the movie was weird, i don't know, kinda sad maybe.
But as i won't ruin this movie, you should see it yourself and sure have to buy this movie if you like to see something else that noone has ever done in movie history.
Moulin Rouge! (2001)
More than just music.
Excellent movie. I really thought this was more a musical than a movie, boy, i got it wrong. I liked all their songs and i liked this movie, although a secret is already revealed in the beginning that you're thinking of the entire movie. The actors and the decors are amazing, just like the camerawork, who acts like a crazy through the crowd at Moulin Rouge. The dressing by the actors was also nice done. The glamour is really sparkling at this movie. Buy or rent this movie if you like musicals and/or movies with quiet a story.
Paranoid (2000)
Nice chant.
Nice short movie which only takes a little bit more than 5 minutes, with end titles near 8 minutes. I liked it because it was so strange, nothing really happens, but the story and how it was filmed is great. You should download this short adaption from Stephen King from it's official site.
Jeepers Creepers (2001)
How creepy this can be
Jeepers is in his genre a very good movie, ok, if you will compare it with the best Drama movies this will come out as fair probably.
The story isn't that excellent, but the line in this movie they have taken is very reasonable with sometimes some scenes that makes you think "Why don't they just get away and leave?". Over 500-600 body's in a cellar, a boy that's been into that cellar, a creeper that wants him...
Training Day (2001)
A hard day
This movie with Academy Award® Winner: Denzel Washington, and Academy Award® Nominated: Ethan Hawke, is quite good, but as for me, not a really Academy winning role for Denzel. Denzel is playing a corrupted special agent, who is doing it all for the money, because he screwed things up with the Russians. Ethan is helping him for the first day, but everything is planned to give Ethan a hard time.
The Glass House (2001)
Good, scary, thrilling
Such a good movie, plot and story is almost as perfect. Ruby Baker's parents die at a car accident, Ruby and her little brother are now with parental guards and........Things get a little out of hand. Who can she trust and who not.
Hearts in Atlantis (2001)
Not perfect, but very good.
I've seen this movie just 5 minutes ago, it was such a good movie, probably not perfect, but hey, things can always be better. The storyline hasn't changed much from the book. Anthony Hopkins is playing T.Brautigan and it's a very nice role he's playing there, just like the kid Anton Yelchin.
If I Die Before I Wake (1998)
Dark, Dark movie
Well, this is not a first class-movie at all. The plot seems also to be missing here, why did they come into that house?, for what?, what were they looking for? Questions you won't get an anwser on. Besides this movie was quiet dark, like the camera had just not the right coloring. Sounds and Videoquality are way below. The movie itself wasn't quiet Thrilling, and things don't seem to fit. Like one of the guys saw the girl in a room, they went in the room and after not finding her they left the room. the same happens 30 minutes after, The girl is looking downstairs and of the the guys is coming from behind, if you can see, he is able to see her sitting on the floor. Acting is very sad, ann not realistic. I'm suggesting you not to buy the movie, but if you still like to see this one, rent it.

Unreal (1998)
Let's give them a headshot.
This is a great first person shooter, with good textures and one of the best maps ever made. This Unreal game had to fight against the Quake II game.
If i go back to 1998, when this title was released, i would give it a 8 out of 10. You can now play Unreal Tournament, and soon Unreal II.

Costa! (2001)
Feeling great
I've seen this film a few weeks ago, just because else we had to wait 2 hours before The Exorcist -Director's Cut- was about to begin. So we went to Costa for 90 minutes. I have to say, it was a really feeling great movie. Ok, nothing happens, nothing looks like REAL, but hey, it feels like you're on vacation yourself. Not a spectacular movie, but fine to me, and by the way, i liked it more than the Exorcist after.
Costa! 7/10
The Rage: Carrie 2 (1999)
A more than good sequel.
The Rage: Carrie 2 was a great sequel at my opinion. Emily Bergl played her role excellent, and Amy Irving (Sue Snell) is back at her old character from Carrie.
Unfortunately this film has been undervoted. There is a good storyline in it, which most people probably don't like, there had to be more action??, well, the way it is makes it a real sequel to Carrie.
I really don't know what makes Carrie 2 so poor for most people.
Carrie 2, 7/10
