Catchin' Up on the Quick Movie Reviews..

Killer Klowns From Outer Space (1988) - (8.5/10) - Another one of my favorite 80's B-movie classics. I mean come on...Horror, Sci-Fi, comedy and Killer Clown Aliens from Outer Space? The title says it all.


Tin Man (2007) - (5.5/10) - The Sci-Fi Special remake of the Wizard of OZ. It was "eh". The lovely Zooey Deschanel was what got me to watch it.


Thanks You For Smoking (2005) - (5/10)


March of the Penguins (2005) - (4/10) - So why was there so much hoopla over this movie?? No one watches National Geographic or Discovery?


Awake (2007) - (5.7/10) - Big fan of Alba since her Idle Hands and Dark Angel days and I like Hayden...The movie has an interesting premise but the execution is a bit flawed and predictable. Worth a rent or download since it's only 78 minutes long.


Factotum - (6.7/10) - Independent movie about a guy who can't keep a job longer than a day or two. The trailer:


Inside Man - (6.8/10)


Amazon Women on the Moon - (4.5/10) - A set of skits spoofing stuff like 1950's sci-fi B-movies.


Monster Man - (6.9/10) - This is a fun little straight-to-DVD campy horror movie with the familiar storyline of a couple of teens getting chased by a pick-up in a cross country road trip.
Trailer:


Futureworld - (5.9/10) - Not as good or creepy as the original "Westworld".


5ive Girls - (4/10)


The Lost Boys - (7.3/10) - 80's classic with the two Coreys.


Cat People - (2/10)

The Brother from Another Planet (1984) - (6/10) - An alien who doesn't speak experiences the streets of Harlem. A very original film.


Hot Rod - (5.5/10) - Not super laugh-out-loud funny...But worth a rent. If you are expecting a bunch of crude humor like superbad then skip this one.


American Gangster - (6/10)

The Chase (1994) - (8.9/10) - One of my all-time favorite movies! Perfect hour and a half car chase + comedy + action + Charlie Sheen + Kristy Swanson = Awesomeness every time I see it.


Mannequin On The Move - (5.6/10)

Scrooged - (6.7/10) - Second favorite Christmas movie after A Christmas Story.


My Favorite Martian - (4/10)


Failure to Launch - (5/10) - I still can't stand Sarah Jessica Parker.

Zathura - (5.7/10) - Jumanji 2? Great fun in HD.


Blood Diamond - (7/10) - I knew I would like this movie and since I missed in theaters I had to wait until it was released on HD before I could watch it. It's got Leo and is made by the same dude who made 2 of my favorite movies - Glory and The Last Samurai


Zombie Honeymoon - (5/10) - Just after getting married the husband turns into a zombie.
Trailer:


RV - (4.7/10)

Bug - (3.9) - This movie sucked. Glad I didn't see it in the theater. Advertising it as a horror movie is just wrong. And how does Ashley Judd keep getting work?

City of the Living Dead - (3.7/10)

Broken English - (6/10)
Trailer:

Transformers - (4.5/10) - No, I still don't want to join the military.

The Slaughter (2006) - (6.5/10) - A surprisingly campy horror about a group of college kids stuck cleaning an abandoned and of course haunted house.


The Bourne Ultimatum - (7.3/10) - Another solid addition to the series. I enjoyed it more than Supremacy.. - Comes out on HD-DVD this Tuesday.

Demons (Uncut) (1985) - (5/10)
