3 Weeks Off = Too Many Movies to Review Part 1/2

The list of movies I have watched during my 3 weeks off has grown quite a bit so I'm gonna keep these quickie reviews really short this time around...

Carry On Screaming! (1966) - (4/10)


Dario Argento's Opera (1987) - (4/10)


Edmond (2005) - (5/10) - This movie is so harsh and is the opposite of a "feel good" movie.


The Foursome (2006) - (5/10) - Kevin Dillon is the only reason I gave this movie a chance.

The Hillz (2004) - (2/10) - Hahaha...This is movie is just so bad it's even kinda funny. I listed to the audio commentary on and off and these guys were talking sequels and stuff...haha..hahahaha.


Disturbia (2007) - (5/10) - I don't understand why this movie was so successful at the box office. Sure it was entertaining....But nothing great or original other than maybe Shia Lebeouf. And this movie has nothing on Rear Window.

Jolly Roger: Massacre at Cutter's Cove (2005) - (3/10) - I'm gonna go ahead and guess this was simply made to make money off of the Pirates craze...

Detention (aka The Learning Curve) - (6/10) - A substitute teacher places 6 kids-lost-in-the-cracks-of-urban-education-system-who-need-to-saving in a cage over the summer to teach them life lessons. Uhh. It was actually pretty good considering these high school kids looks about 30ish.

Macabre (1980) - DNF

The Namesake (2006) - 6.7 - If your parents moved to the US from afar and you were born here then you can probably relate to a few moments in this movie.
Trailer:


Pieces (1982) - (4.5/10) - A psycho killer cuts up women into puzzle pieces. Decent if you're into 80's slasher flicks.


I Love Your Work (2003) - (6.7/10) - Starts off a bit too artsy...And it's nice to see Josh Jackson working again.
Trailer:


Zyzzyx Rd. (2006) - (4.5/10) - Katherine Heigl.


28 Weeks Later (2007) - (5/10) - Why? Why did they make a sequel? Please don't make any more. Thanks.


The Basketball Diaries (1995) - (6/10)


Un Gatto nel cervello (Cat in the Brain) (1990) - (3/10)


Superbad (2007) - (4.5) - Not as good as 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Freak and Geeks...You get the idea.


Balls of Fury (2007) - (5.9/10) Totally fun and mindless entertainment. Perfect for the summer.


Ocean's 13 (2007) - (5.7/10) - Awesome cast as usual. Over-the-top confusing plot as usual. Fun as usual.


Evan Almighty (2007) - (5.5/10)


Study Hell - DNF Looks like a junior high production.

Hatchet - (2007) - (5.5/10) This movie has been getting a bit of hype because it's supposed to be one of those fun slasher flicks from the 80's..Well, it's not.


Lady In The Water (2006) - (5/10) - It was better than The Village...Of course that's not saying much coming from me.


Kickin' It Old School (2007) - (4.9/10) - It could have been a lot worse...Has a few parts worthy of a genuine chuckle - If you're into jokes about freely urinating transients.


The Last Run (2004) - (4.5/10) - Fred Savage (Wonder Years) becomes a womanizing sex addict. Must I say any more?
Trailer:


Malibu Vampires - DNF - The title of the movie had so much potential.
