Gummo (1997)
5/10
I Tried but............no
10 February 2011
A lot of people see this movie after they enjoyed Kids and figured it must be good because it's from the same guy. I enjoyed Kids and thought I'd give this movie a try. I watched about half but ended up turning it off. I had no problem with the content in the movie as is seen by a lot as questionable; i just turned it off because i was bored. There is no plot at all and it seems like a bunch of random things happen. Gummo is weird just for the sake of being weird and trying to shock people.

I say 5/10

because you'll keep watching just to see what happens, but it's not worth it.

What's Up With That Ending?
24 June 2008
Warning: Spoilers
I gave this movie a 7 out of 10 because i think overall it was pretty good. It was different from a lot of films because there was points where there would be action but there are also times where there is almost no dialogue and not much going on on screen. i think the movie kept me wanting to watch what happened next, but it is a kind of slow moving movie. i can see how some people would get bored with the lack of dialogue and slow, open country scenes of no action.

I wouldn't rate this any higher because of the ending. Okay, so let me get this straight, the main character is killed (offscreen) and we are not even really sured if he killed his wife or not? i don't see why they would end the movie like that. they could have at least shown how the character was killed. Tommy Lee Jones character doesn't really do anything either.

Into the Blue (2005)
8/10
Very Underrated Movie
23 June 2008
This movie probably won't win any awards, but it is still a fun movie. The movie keeps the viewer engaged the whole time. With the mix of famous actors/actresses and beautiful scenery, it is hard not to like this film.

Paul Walker gives a solid performance and Jessica Alba is not only very sexy but a great actress as well. The movie is about these divers that live in the bahamas that look for treasure. When they stumble upon some cocaine instead, they have to decide what to do about is as well as handle some other problems too.

This movie is a good action/adventure film, go see it.

Boring Crime Film
23 June 2008
Let me start out by saying that this film is nowhere near as good as other crime films like goodfellas, the departed, and scarface. A lot of people are talking about this film becoming a classic, but i don't agree with that. This movie is different from the other classics in that this movie is very boring. Most of the movie is a lot of talk, and it's not even that good of dialogue. i think there is one action sequence where he shoots somebody on the street and hits somebody with a piano. other than that, it is all talk.

If you want to see a crime film, do yourself a favor and skip this one because it will not become a classic.

And i forgot, the acting was okay. Washington was alright but the movie is the problem.

Grandma's Boy (2006)
8/10
Good Stoner Movie
23 June 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Grandma's Boy is about Alex, a video game tester who has to live with his grandmother and 2 other women. The movie journeys around their workplace and Alex's desire to create his own video game, which is stolen and has to be proved his own.

This is Allen Covert's first lead role and he nails it. He is so believable as a funny, easygoing, stoner type (probably because he actually is one).

This is definitely a raunchy comedy with plenty of sexual humor and crude jokes, which is why i think this movie is so funny. This movie doesn't disappoint as one of the new movies in the R-rated comedy market. One of my favorites.

Saved by the Bell (1989–1992)
10/10
Favorite Show Growing Up
23 June 2008
Saved by the Bell is just amazing. I'm now 19 years old and i still watch it sometimes in the morning on tbs when i get up. There is just something about this show that stuck with me as a child. Maybe it's the characters and how well they went together, or maybe it was the situations that the gang got in daily. i just loved that show growing up.

i would say that the six of them and Mr. Belding mixed perfectly together. All the guys wanted to be Zack and all the girls wanted to be Kelly. It is just one of those timeless shows that won't go away anytime soon. Why do you think they still play it 2 hours a day in syndication? It's just great.

Should be in Top 250 Movies
23 June 2008
Even though this movie came out in 1999, I have just now seen it in 2008 and i wish i saw it sooner. This is definitely one of my favorite movies of all time.

It is basically about two Catholic brothers who decide to rid the world of evil by killing bad guys. Yes, it is a simple concept but the director pulls if off nicely. The acting is top notch and there is enough action to keep the movie interesting. The only complaint i have as far as acting is Ron Jeremy. I think he looks funny in that role and it is hard to take him seriously. Its like he is kind of making fun of himself.

I didn't even remember this movie coming out in theaters, but i definitely missed out in 1999.

Blow (2001)
10/10
One of Best Movies from that Year
23 June 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Blow is basically a biography of George Jung, a drugdealer. The movie tracks his progress from when he was a kid all the way through his life until he is in prison.

The movie shows the ups and downs of the drug world. Everything is dandy until you get caught. i think this movie is emotional and it definitely makes you feel kind of bad for Depp. This reminds me Scarface, it shows you when you're at your highest, but then it also shows the tragic downfall.

The acting by Depp and Cruz in this film were great. He was very believable in this role. Even though Ray Liotta wasn't in a lot of the film, this role suited him perfectly. If you haven't seen it, go spend 2 hours and see it.

Smokin' Aces (2006)
4/10
Good Trailer, Bad Movie
23 June 2008
Well, Smokin Aces has an amazingly good trailer, but that is where it ends. The trailer makes the movie look very interesting and filled with action, but i was disappointed when i saw the film.

The concept of the movie makes sense, but i just don't think it worked that well. i still think ryan reynolds had a great performance as well as Ray Liotta (even though he had a smaller role), but i think the problem was more with the movie and not the actors.

So basically, i think the trailer makes the movie look a lot better than it actually is.

Club Dread (2004)
8/10
Entertaining and Funny
23 June 2008
Warning: Spoilers
I know a lot of people probably don't agree with giving stupid movies like this an 8, but it is actually funny. I was skeptical to first see it because it looked kind of goofy, but since i loved super troopers i thought i'd give it a try.

The film is basically about a vacation island in which all you do is party. But when a killer starts running wild, everybody scrambles to find out who is doing this.

I think Steve Lemme (Juan) did the best job as the divemaster, just because of his accent and the funny lines that he had. As said by others, most people will just think of this film as an average comedy/horror spoof, but i think it is better than others. At least give it a try to see the hot Brittany Daniel in a bathing suit almost the entire movie.

8/10

The Departed (2006)
7/10
Overall Good, Long and Confusing at Times
23 June 2008
Warning: Spoilers
I would like to start off by saying that this movie is about 2 and a half hours long. While this is sometimes good like in godfathers, goodfellas, and blow, i think this movie sometimes drags along quite slow. The first half of the movie is mostly setting up the characters as Dicaprio the good guy and Damon the bad guy. If you want a lot of action i would look elsewhere because this is a lot of talk. Don't get me wrong, it is a very good plot, but sometimes it could use more action. i gave it seven stars because it is very watchable and it will keep you entertained. The cat and mouse game between Damon and Dicaprio is great. You just know that sooner or later someone is going to be found out. This isn't the directors best movie, but i could definitely see this becoming a classic with a lot of people.

Captivity (2007)
5/10
Not that good, But not that bad
22 June 2008
i will start off by saying that this movie is an average movie. i think the camera work is nice and it is filmed well but i don't think the actors in it were that great. The plot was decent with twist that you don't see in many other movies. i think all the controversy around this movie hyped this up a lot. There is not near as much gore and violence in it as shown by some of the previews. This is definitely one of those cases where the preview looked a lot better than the actual movie. i would say just watch it for fun, but it won't be winning any awards any time soon. If anything, just see it because Cuthbert is in it. This movie is a lot more psychological than actual violence, so if you like mind games this is more your type of movie.

Pulp Fiction (1994)
10/10
One of the Best Movies of All Time
22 June 2008
This movie is definitely one of my favorites of all time. The dialogue is great, there are many famous actors that nail their performances, and Tarantino's techniques are great. Good story line with the right amount of action and storyline. Great film. One of the best things that helps this film succeed is in the way it is told. The scenes jump around as in Quentin Tarantino's other movies. The story is told from a couple different perspectives which is good. This movie also has an amazing soundtrack. The music alone is enough to see this film. Travolta and Jackson nail their performances so well, they are very believable. Go see Reservoir Dogs, by Quentin Tarantino, as well because you will like that if you liked this one (but this is definitely better).
