The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006)
One of my favorite horror movies ever.
I dig most horror movies that have great atmosphere, some gore, decent acting at least, a good creepy family, and one hell of a killer that looks bad-ass and doesn't care what he does with his weapon. This movie is almost the complete package.
This is a prequel to the The Texas Chainsaw massacre 03 REmake which i liked. But The Beginning gives you clues to like how Leatherface was born and made into what he is, how Hoyt lost his teeth, how grandpa lost his legs, etc.
Through movie from the start gives you a creepy feeling. The gore and torture scenes were scary as hell and the whole movie mostly revolves around the scary family which REmake didn't really do and focused more on the actors though both movies had decent acting.
I really don't want to say anymore. If you want more Texas Chainsaw massacre, your in for a hell of a ride with this film! Enjoy!
Rest Stop (2006)
Don't bother with this stupid movie. This movie made no sense.
IMO this move is in the top 3 of the worst films in 2006. This movie made no sense what's so ever. It started out OK with them driving to Los Angeles and than stopping at a rest stop. But it All goes downhill from when she comes out of the bathroom. There were plot holes in nearly every scene. Like really in terns of plot holes this movie is top 5 ever! Here is sum of all the plot holes and it pretty much makes up the movie so you don't waste 85 minutes of Ur life on it:
1.) Going by the hundreds of missing persons reports stapled outside the rest stop, the police didn't catch on, and possibly come to the conclusion there's a serial killer operating in the area (hundreds of people over a 34 year span, the ghost girl was killed in 1971!)? (And, how old is this killer, 60?)
2.)Why were people writing what happened to them on the inside door of that particular bathroom stall
3.) How was her boyfriends sex tape of them from earlier in ranger's place? When did he but in there, and why? The ill-fated ranger wasn't the killer. What did it serve if the tape was in there? what was the purpose, he could't have expected the girl to go in there and find into the VCR, and so what if she found out, she already knew her boyfriend was kidnapped.
4.) Who were the religious mobile home freaks, why was there a wheel chair-bound midget in back who likes to take pictures of nothing in particular, why are we supposed to be scared of that? ***Better yet, why was he a secret? And on a smaller yet hilarious point why was the girl being called a whore for discovering the midget in the back, and why was she a whore for not even talking, loll?
5.) Why the mobile home freaks take her all the back to the rest stop, if they didn't like her, why woundn't they just drop her in the middle of nowhere?
6.)Why did the girl keep returning to the rest stop bathroom?
7.)Why do the ghost victims come back to that specific closet, spit up blood then disappear, why do all ghosts do that? Why did the missing girl from 1971 appear now, not earlier, if main girl who died at the end appeared (it seems) so recently afterward?
8.)why was the girl so exasperated and frustrated at everything that happened in the beginning, if she was unhappy about the road trip why was she even going in the first place. *** It must of been to hard for the writers to come up with a single likable character, or smart one, the killer was almost nonexistent, beside a few brief most of sadism, he was rather boring, no re was he really in the movie often, and he was stupid as well as the protagonists.
9.) Why did the cop LET THE GUY GO?
10.) WHY DID THE COP STAND IN THE ROAD WHILE TALKING TO THE GIRL
11.)Why didn't the cop suggest earlier to use his gun?
12.) WHy did the cop tell her to shoot the door, when it would be best to keep quiet with gun, so when the killer opened the door she could surprise him and shoot him point blank?
13.) When the killer initially locked them in the bathroom, why didn't she try that skylight (window in the ceiling) sooner? If you say she didn't see it at first it seemed as though she knew it was there all along she said something along the lines of "I think I can open this window here..."
14.) Not really a mistake in the movie but: If you're going to shoot someone in order to kill them so they won't be burned alive, make sure you don't miss and accidentally blow of the side off their face. (Actual dialog after the ranger is shot and part of his brain matter is splattered on the floor: "You missed!")
15.) If the killer kicked the boyfriend out of the truck (when she beat him to death thinking he was the killer) why was he walking casually?
16.) How did the killer manage to escape a car completely covered in flames, while being invisible (how could you not see him jump out then sneak all the way around and BEHIND the girl?
17.) Why was it mentioned by ghost girl that the killer told her she got what she deserved then go into detail by the girl saying admitting she stole money or something, as though they would go into detail about the killer punishing people for misdeeds (Besides being a Saw rip off, it still would have added something to the killer, instead of just being an unnecessary loose end)
18.) what was with the new ranger at the end, he said something along the lines of "i hope they got what they deserved," after saying someone torched the rest stop to that girl. was he the killer? It's never stated, and that is beyond lame, he was never in the movie before, oh how shocking a random guy who wasn't in the movie before this last scene is the killer! Or is he, he doesn't appear to be at all.
2/10 movie cause of Jamie Alexandre.
1/10 without her decent acting.
Don't waste Ur time. You'll most likely be saying, What did i see just now?
My head hurts from watching this movie, you'll be better off watching the wall for 85 minutes instead.
Aberration (1997)
Terrible and i mean TERRIBLE film to the 10th power.
Without saying much to this piece of crap film. I will say that this film has terrible and at the MOST mediocre acting. There are more plot holes than swiss cheese and i mean a lot! The lizards looked fake as hell and this movie came out in 1997? That must be a mistake cause the effects sucked so bad that I find it hard to believe it isn't a movie from the 60's. And it's like throughout the movie they didn't care at all. They stopped for about 10 minutes to rest and than find out more are/were coming. You don't do that in a horror film. In conclusion, save yourself 3-5 bucks at blockbuster and skip this film when needed cause it certainly ain't worth your time. It's one of the worst movies i've ever seen and i watch a lot of movies, especially horror and for me to say that it sucks, it's just about true. Even the ending of the movie made no sense, ahhhh forget it just don't watch this film at all even if u catch it on sci-fi.
Crank (2006)
What the hell is this piece of crap??!! Honestly one of the worst movies i've ever seen.
My dad and i decided to rent this movie last night in thought that it could pass the time for a good action flick. My dad said should we, and i said why not. So when we pop it in, the first 10-15 we wanted to shoot our heads off. I mean this movie has way too much pornography and naked girls having sex with each other. And than we get scenes where the main actor calling someone for help and you see a girl giving a guy a blowjob while literary every scene when he does. Meanwhile, the movie is just plain boring without barely any action except a little bit towards the end. And the story made no sense either. Just a horrible movie all around, i don't recommend even getting from a friend who is nice enough to lend it to you for a week. This movie=Wanting to cry/or ripping ur head off at the end for wasting ur time on it. I don't like to call a movie one of the worst ever, but this one is honestly one that i do believe is.
Saw II (2005)
Much better than Saw 1.
When i saw Saw 1, i was disappointed a lot. I expected a lot out of that movie and my expectations failed. Saw 1 is overrated. So i gave Saw 2 a shot and my expectations were very good and my feelings of Saw 1 pretty much left now. What makes Saw 2 better than Saw 1? Well for one the acting is better, it feels as if the characters are really fighting to get out, especially Frank in this movie. The story is better, you learn who Jigsaw really is eventually and a couple of plot holes are filled in, better environment (watch the trailer to see where all the main characters are), etc. Go watch this great sequel now!! Onto Saw 3 i go!!!
Hogan's Heroes (1965)
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!! One of my favorites if not my favorite show from the 60's and 70's
Wow i mean wow. It's not like me to give a 10/10 to any movie or show but this one deserves it. I mean great acting, good plot, nice setting in the camp, and most importantly NEVER gets boring. The only MINOR con was that i wish the episodes were a bit longer but with the stuff they to use back than, it made up big time for it. You would think because it's based on WW2 it would be offensive, but believe they do a good job of almost faking WW2 and try to show you how it really was back than (though we all know WW2 was no joke) so part of that also gets a 10/10 cause it does a great job of not offending almost anybody. It's sad there probably won't be another show like Hogan Heroes ever again. So i recommend you all to buy all 6 seasons. 5 of them have already came out and i can't wait for the final year. Enjoy!!!!
Lady in the Water (2006)
You have got to be kidding me right? Worst movie of 2006.
Miami Vice and Lady in the Water are probably the 2 worst movies i've seen in 2006. But i have to say Lady in the Water beats it out to be the worst of 2006. I mean it was just beyond terrible. Terrible plot and storyline. The acting is laughable (I ended up laughing a lot throughout this movie) and the overall environment didn't do it for me either. The only good part about this film was the effects which didn't have much of that either. I had high hopes for this movie and i even asked to bring my parents and my brother and only my Dad didn't come and i'm glad he didn't come and i feel sorry for bringing my bro and Mom to see this rubbish piece of trash film. I rather eat my own legs first before watching another minute of this crappy movie. So to those who want to see this movie don't and waste ur money on something else. I mean so MANY plot holes and question marks that not even swiss cheese has that many holes combined. Stay away from this movie.
Mortuary (2005)
I don't understand you haters. This movie is UNDERRATED badly.
I don't understand why so many people hate this movie? Sure it wasn't the best but a lot better than most recent crappy horror movies that have been coming out. Tobe Hooper is a pretty good director and people trash on him for this movie cause it wasn't a crappy movie like the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre that was made back in 1974 but he still is a good director and this movie is pretty good, i'll go into detail why. The monster/enemy concept was pretty well done and the effects/graphics/detail on it and throughout the whole movie was pretty good IMO. The acting was decent and the setting was well chosen again IMO. This movie from the get go scares cause the family moves into a graveyard in California to get a head start on a new life. I don't want to spoil it anymore so my choice would be to either wait for it to air on TV or rent it, don't listen to these haters because 90% of the time i listen to haters but i end up liking the movie anyway. So definitely watch it when you get a chance, you won't be disappointed. Plus there are some funny and old fashioned lines in the film too ;)
Miami Vice (2006)
Horrible, disappointed badly.
Boy oh boy this movie disappointed me a lot. Let me go over the cons which are a lot. The movie and the story is way to slow with barely any action involved and this is under the action section? The acting IMO wasn't that good at all and i like Colin Farrell. Pretty much the main stuff that makes this a bad movie is that it's too slow and the story is as well and doesn't make sense at all. It's it jumped from another area to the area with no detail explanation on the drugs other than the ending which is probably my favorite part but still that is not enough. So if i were you i would avoid this movie at all costs, even on free rental day. The only pro is the ending but that's it.
28 Days Later... (2002)
Just an awful awful movie.
Boy oh boy where did the film go wrong? First off it's not SCARY!!! I don't care what anyone says. Second, the acting is terrible and the plot is as linear as it can be. This movie did start out decently but when they wanted to leave the huge city and go to the armies area, that was a huge mistake. The area where everyone was was a lot scarier and if they had did that and made the creatures more zombie like and attacked more often, that i may have liked this movie. Maybe i don't like British films. i rented this and and to add more to this crappy movie the ending sucked as well and in my unrated DVD that i rented from it included 3 extra endings which i didn't even bother to watch. That's how bad this movie is. I don't recommend renting it and most importantly buying it.
When a Stranger Calls (2006)
Decent horror film for what it is. A bit disappointed also.
Spoilers if u haven't seen film!!!! This movie takes on the role of Belle. Who is grounded and misses the party and now has to babysit in a big house out in the middle of nowhere (not exactly out in the middle but you know). The parents basically told her to not disturb the kids and make herself at home. After the parents leave she basically meets Rosa out in the garden that they have in the house and after that she basically chills. Than the phone starts ringing all over again. And in the one of them towards the middle-end, the killer said that he wants to have her blood all over him. Belle than calls the police to track him down later the police calls her to say that he is in the house. Belle than takes the kids and try to leave, the killer basically blocks them off until the end where Belle puts the knife in his hand and the police come in and takes him away. Cassidy died in this movie also while visiting Belle during the beginning of the movie and got suffocated by the killer in her car outside.
Overall, it's decent for what it is but i was a bit disappointed that the killer didn't get involved as much as i would have liked.
So if u want to rent it, i'd say go for it at your own risk.
Hostel (2005)
This is a horror movie???! More like porn fest hostel! And Roth you've done it again.
Okay, i wasn't a big fan of Cabin Fever that much at all which was also made by Eli Roth. But i heard that Hostel was a much better movie for Roth and that you should watch it. So last night i go and rent it and after watching it i don't know how this can be considered a horror movie.
This movie starts out (mostly contains) as teen sex porn fest and through this movie that is pretty much it. There is only 2-3 cool torture scenes which was good but obviously we wanted more. 98% of this film was porn and the other 2% was not. The plot was also very thin and the acting wasn't that great either. If there was more characters and a lot less porn crap and more torture scenes. Then i may have liked this film. This movie makes Cabin Fever look good. So it will be a while before i look into a another film made by Eli Roth again.
Titanic (1997)
Excellent movie!! One of my favorites.
I loved Titanic a lot. I wasn't around when the Titanic actually sank. But this movie made me glad i wasn't around to see it. The artwork and the storyline really keeps you wanting more and more from this film. The acting was pretty good and the love couple of Jack and Rose definitely didn't make this movie boring because i wanted to see what would have happened in the end when the ship would have sank. Some very minors things with the movie was that the acting was a bit corny in a couple of areas, and the fact that they didn't go a bit more into detail with the characters but doesn't make it bad in anyway what so ever. Another impressive is that after 10 years people are still talking about how great this movie is, and for some reason you haven't seen it yet, GO WATCH IT NOW!!!
