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

This is part 2 of 2 of my quickie movie reviews from the past 3 weeks...

The King of Kong (2007) - (8.5/10) - Just awesome. A documentary about the battle for the world record for Donkey Kong. Even if you're not into this kinda stuff I am 100% you will be entertained from start to finish.

And the trailer:


One Crazy Summer (1986) - (6/10) - This is my second time seeing this and for some reason it still doesn't entertain me the way Cusack's other films seem to do.


I'm Reed Fish (2006) - (4.5/10)
Trailer:


Popcorn (UK) (2007) - (6/10) - A movie about an insecure guy who gets a job at a theater multiplex to win the heart of a girl who already works there. The whole movie takes place in one night.

Serial Killing 101 (2004) - (5/10)


The Battle of Shaker Heights (2004) - Fun cast - Shia Lebeouf, Amy Smart, and Shiri Applby and decent plot. Oh, and bonus points since all the high school scenes were shot at my old high school.

Lovesick: Sick Love (aka The Chambermaid) (2004) - (5/10) - A group of people screw each other over for money and "love". Oh, and the chambermaid is smokin'.


Deadline Auto Theft (1983) - (4/10) - Nonstop police chase for 90% of the movie. No real characters or plot as far as I can tell.


Yellow (2006) - (3/10) - If you are a fan of Roselyn Sanchez then you will LOVE this movie. If you're not fan..uh..pass.

The Goonies (1985) - (7/10) - Do I really need to say anything?


In A Dark Place (2006) - (2.5/10) - Let's make a movie featuring a woman constantly waking up startled and confused and scared with images of creepy looking children. Oooh, so scary. What was Leelee Sobieski thinking when she took this role?

The Mallory Effect (2002) - (4/10) - Finally a movie (co)starring JOSIE MARAN! Too bad it sucked. Also it's too bad she is retired..sigh..At least I have a reason to post a pic of her.


Nearing Grace (2005) - (5.5/10) - A feature length version of Dawson's Creek taking place in 1978.


Redline (2007) - (4/10) - Really expensive fast exotic cars racing. Don't expect anything more or less.


The Other Side - DNF

Up In Smoke (1978) - (6.6/10) - I've been drug and alcohol free my entire life and even I can appreciate this movie. It's just a true buddy adventure flick.


La Doublure (The Valet) (2006) - (7/10) A great little French romantic comedy about a valet driver who has to pretend to be the boyfriend of a supermodel. It's Cute.

Trailer:


Severed (2005) - (6.5/10) - Zombies in a forest. Solid zombie flick.


Westworld (1973) - (7.5/10) - This movie is just too good. People go to amusement parks that are full of life-like human robots and live out there fantasies in theme worlds such as the wild west or the renaissance period...But not everything goes as planned...


Alligator (1980) - (5/10) - Mutant alligator in small town sewer kills people. Simple enough?


Cheats (2002) - (5.3/10) - Inspired by true events...A comedy about a group of friends who cheat their way through high school. Pretty much like the movie Slackers but in high school.


Death Race 2000 (1975) - (5/10) - This movie deserves an award simply because of its mighty cool title.


In The Land of Women (2007) - (6/10) - What can I say...I'm and Adam Brody fan.


LOL (2006) - (1.5/10) - The summary on IMDB says "The relationships of three men are examined through their use of technology." Bullcrap. It's a bunch of shaky cam footage of annoying guys with no screen presence texting and talking on the phone and IMing. Why the heck would anyone want to watch that? There is nothing funny or enlightening in this movie. And nothing is "examined."

Mardi Gras Massacre (1978) - (4.5/10) - This movie probably deserves a lower score but since I watched it right after "LOL" it made appreciate it so much more.
