Underworld: The Rise of the Lycans (2009, R)
Awesome creature feature! The werewolves r great,although at times its hard to see them clearly because of fast motion & dark settings,but overall very pleased w/the imagery of this flick! good story line even though it was pretty much given away in the original of this series. Great prequel! It even has a love story to keep the ladies interested while the action,FX,& battle scenes definitely keep us men in the seats & not heading for the exits midway through the movie. |

Halloween (1978, R)
By far the best horror movie of all time. Although its a slasher flick it also doubles as a supernatural thriller as well. First I liked the idea that the heroin in this movie wasn't a complete idiot like so many of the typical slasher movie victims. U know the ones that hide in the most obvious place in the house & just weep till they eventually get fond & hacked to bits w/nary a fight or even worse just stand there frozen & offer themselves easy pickings for the killer. This movie was one of the first of its kind to do that. The atmosphere of the movie was creepy too. I also loved the way this movie scared U w/o having to rely on cheap thrill tactics like the cat squeal or door slam jump moments that so many of the horror movies rely on. Plus it didn't rely on the gore to make a horrific point. The suspense was the main focus of the scares. Just like Hitcock the master of suspense said,"Its not the bang but the anticipation of it. By now everyone & their grandmother has seen it so I won't go into detail. I'll just close by saying well done mr. carpenter. Well done. |

The Howling (1981, R)
Looking back This movie really had some B moments acting wise in it,but overall it was pretty creepy & scary! Sure it had the typical stupid scene where the woman just sits there & watches the dude turn into a werewolf instead of running away while its preoccupied changing,but I'm willing to look past it since it did have the best metamorphosis scene at its time of a man to werewolf. Back in 1980 it was pretty impressive stuff! I wouldn't mind seeing this one remade by someone w/a visionary mind & a great script writer cause I think w/a lil better story,smarter women & better acting this movie could grade a 5 star rating. Still one of the best werewolf movies of all time. |

Silver Bullet (1985, R)
This was one of the better werewolf movies to come out in the 80's. usually werewolf movies R too cheesy & very hard to take seriously w/low grade scripts & acting to make Jenna Jameson look like Meril Streep.Not to mention some of the worst costumes ever created. But this one was good. had a decent script,creepy atmosphere & good acting. Also had some pretty funny moments in there. The he got hit by the train line got a lot of mileage from my family. After seeing this w/many family members we used that line every time we saw anyone get killed in many movies after. See it if U haven't. |

Van Helsing (2004, PG-13)
I love this movie. some great creatures & real impressive sets. Not really scary,but its more of an action adventure movie. It had some creepy moments in it though like when Kate Beckinsales character was trapped in the house w/the vampiress's Plus Kate Beckinsale running around in her skin tight black slacks & cleavage revealing blouse isn't exactly a detriment to this high budget extravaganza. Hugh Jackhman was real good as the main character. Also had some funny light hearted moments in it. A must see in my book. |

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992, R)
One of the best Dracula movies of all time! The only reason this didn't get a 5 was because of the blatant over the top effort of Anthony Hopkins van helsing. but some of the best sets I've ever seen not to mention the story & acting & high budget effects. Oldman was insanely good as the dark count. |

Dracula (1958, Unrated)
These movies scared the living bee gee bee's out of me as a kid! This was the most brutal Dracula I had seen at the time. The color adding a real sense of horror w/the blood & those blood red eyes! Not to mention he was a physically imposing figure who towered over his victims. Still sends a shiver up my spine to this day! This series was by far the most evil adaptation of the legendary count. When U saw this there was no doubt that he was the spawn of Satan & a Demon sent from hell! |

The Relic (1997, R)
For some reason this movie gets a lot of negative reviews. I don't understand why. This movie freaking rocked & had one of the most incredible creatures of all time in it. if ever get a chance to see the making of this movie do it. It gives a real history lesson on one of the creepiest museums in the world. The old Field Museum in my home town. |

30 Days of Night (2007, R)
I was actually disappointed when I first saw this. But still a solid take on the genre of Vampires. The Vampires were cold & brutal & very much monsters! The idea was very good too! I thought it could've been better though. The ending was kind of lame & it could've been scarier. Still pretty decent. |

Jaws (1975, PG)
What can I say that hasn't already been said. One of the best movies period! Of all time. Memorable characters & script & the scary realism that this could actually happen. Maybe not in the way the shark was a relentless eating machine w/an agenda,but the fact A big shark can have u for lunch. Great,great movie. I never tire of watching it. Some of the best lines ever! Cage in the water,U in the water,sharks in the water. Our shark! farewell & adieu to U fair Spanish ladies. |

Deep Blue Sea (1999, R)
Loved this high budget movie. Good script & premise. I mean smart giant sharks! how scary is that? Throw in a hurricane & being stuck in the middle of the ocean w/no help on the way & U got a recipe for a pretty desperate suspenseful situation. really liked it. Plus I give it high marks for offing the most well known actor in the movie midway through it. totally didn't expect that after the inspiring speech. Really cemented the feeling of hopeless despair after that! |

Jurassic Park (1993, PG-13)
Awesome! Another true classic. really smart script! Great idea to put the whole cloning thing in there along w/how they got the DNA. It was actually really believable. No strange portol to the past! Just a bunch of corporate greedy business men,& overly ambitious scientists trying to play God! A modern day Frankenstein story. Great effects & sets too! Just not a bad word to be said about it! |

Rawhead Rex (1987, R)
I liked it! It was obviously generic & the creature could've been less comical but i liked it. I like the story. This too would be a real good one to remake w/a bigger budget & better actors! Its weird but its like this movie disapeared off the face of the earth. I tried to rent this all over the place w/no luck. When I ask people about it they look at me like I'm speaking Chinese. I finally watched it on youtube if anyones interested. |

Dawn of the Dead (2004, R)
You know i have never seen the original so I can't compare the two. I heard a lot of people say it was better than this one. as far as zombie movies go i can't really see how much better it can be. This was good w/a lot of eerie moments. The part where dudes wife turns & still has the baby was real twisted! Ving Rames rules in this. It didn't take long for the action to get started in this one. A big plus for me. I know theres an art form to building suspense,but Zombie movies don't work w/that formula. get to the point & this movie did just that! |

Night of the Living Dead (1990, R)
Good remake! Every bit as good as the original w/a bigger budget & slicker costumes & effects. I liked the way the main female character wasn't such a weak screeching ditz! Thats the only reason why the original gets a 4 & not a 5 from me because of that very reason. The original girl was an annoyance & should have been killed off 5 minutes into the movie! |

The Return of the Living Dead (1985, R)
This movie rocked! Very funny spin on the whole Zombie thing. Loved the way they incorporated the night of the living dead plot to it. Plus this is the first time I think they actually put the zombies in super speed. Makes em' much more intimidating doesn't it? I love the send more cops & the whole brains thing. had me rollin. And the part where the paramedics come & diagnose the two medical supply clerks as being dead even though they're animated is classic dark comedy at its best! And the strip scene at the cemetery was hot! Girl has a legendary Bod I can't erase from my memory! What a tush! Anyway its well worth the investment of time. Highly entertaining. |

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996, R)
The first half was better when it was a gangster movie,but the vampire second half of it wasn't too bad either! Thoroughly entertaining w/a good cast of professional actors. Some good humor too. Cheech Marins part when U see him trying to sell the folks on checking out the twisted titty especially comes to mind. |
