Vanishing Point (1971) - (7/10) - Classic tough guy car chase movie. Nearly non-stop fun.
Trailer:


Plane Dead (2007) - (5.5/10) - Zombies. Plane. Zombies on a Plane.
Trailer:


Thr3e (2006) - (5/10)
Trailer:


The Pumpkin Karver (2006) - (5/10)

The Hitcher (2006) - (6/10) - Actually a bit better than I expected. Good for a night of straight forget-the-next-day entertainment. Especially if you like Sophia Bush!


Music and Lyrics (2006) - (5/10)


The Gravedancers (2006) - (6.8/10) - I guess if you dance on graves - expecially those of killers and such - it's a bad thing? The movie delivers given the "uh..okay" storyline.
Trailer:


Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005) - (7.5/10) - Very well made with a great cast. A thief gets mistaken for an actor who ends up getting trained as a private detective. Great twisting plot and "snazzy" dialogue.
Trailer:


Southern Belles (2005) - (5.5/10) - A TOTAL chick flick about two young ladies in a small low class town who want to make it out. A few good funny parts and two cute actresses.


Happily Never After (2006) - (6.7/10) - A solid animated family movie without all that adult crap you see in kid movies these days.



Hostel Part II (2007) - (6.5/10) - If you have seen the first one you know what you are getting yourself into. Proceed with caution. Heavy gore ahead.


Kaw (2007) - (4.5/10) - Remember how great "The Birds" was? This is the exact opposite.

The Fountain (2006) - (5/10) - I waited to see this movie on HD because I heard it was a visually pleasing movie...So I saw in HD...And well, it was visually fantastic. But that was about it. The story sucked.



The Number 23 (2006) - (5/10) - Yet another movie with a great concept but with really cheap execution. Many of the cool facts about the number 23 are the best parts of the movie..But the story itself is just weak.


Morons From Outer Space (1985) - (5.7/10) - I got this movie on one of those cheap double feature DVDs and thought this would the worse of two...And I was wrong! It's a really really stupid movie with low production value but for some reason is able to entertain all the way through...Still can't figure it out why!?


1408 (2007) - (7/10) - I had high expectations for this movie...Looked like a good scare from the trailer...John Cusack..Sam L Jackson....Stephen King...And it delivered just as expected. Go check this one out in theaters if you still can.



Alien from L.A. (1988) - (2.5/10) - Now this is the other movie from that double feature disc I mentioned. This was the one I got the DVD for in the first place. And it was bad. Like really really really bad. Everything about it - plot, acting, set, effects, music - all of it, bad. And the lead character had the MOST annoying voice in film history. And the fact that she talks through almost every single minute of movie makes it like torture.


The Astronaut Farmer (2006) - (6.9/10) - What can I say? I don't like Billy Bob but he seems to deliver in almost every role he gets. A straight forward feel good movie.


Harold and Kumar 2 (2007/8?) - (6.8/10) - Can't say anything about this one other than it delivers the laughs just as well as the first!

Ichi The Killer (2001) - (4.9/10) - Overrated!!!


On Her Majesty's Secret Service (007 #6) - (1969) - (3.5/10) - Lazenby sucks as James Bond. Worst Bond I have seen so far.


Hell Comes to Frogtown (1987) - (4.5/10) - This has to be one of the funniest movie ideas ever! Please..Just watch the trailer!:


Skits O Phrenia (2004) - (2/10)

Black Snake Moan (2006) - (6.7/10) - Sam L Jackson freakin' owns his role in this one! Rent it!


The Hollow (2004) - (3/10) - If you see this on the shelf at the video store...Keep walking.


Happy Birthday To Me (1981) - (6.5/10) - I thought this was going to be yet another cheesy bad 80's teen slasher but it turned out to be a solid horror movie with a good plot with decent acting and relatively high production value. It's able to put on a good show without resorting to excessive gore, gratuitous nudity/sex, or dumb characters. Good stuff.
