Silent Hill (2006,  R)
Silent Hill 5.0 Stars
This is my most favorite movie. I have never before seen a truely fantastic game such as Silent Hill been so well made into a movie- and it still creeps me out! My only complaint- why did they have to replace Harry with a female lead? :/

The Hills Have Eyes 4.5 Stars
Although most people say that the movie was grosser than 3 week old pizza left in a dumpster, I LOVED it because of its premise and pure rawness. I wish more movies were as unflinching as this one- I might be able to have more fun then!

American History X (1998,  R)
American History X 5.0 Stars
A movie that EVERY person should watch- even if watching a movie about racism bothers you, it really opens your eyes to how something like hatred can grow and lead to tragic consequences. Just don't watch this with someone who's REALLY impressionable (like a kid).

Fight Club 5.0 Stars
Any actor and a movie with him in it who can pull off wearing a fur coat and a pink robe with pictures of coffee mugs on it has MY undying respect. In case you haven't seen this great movie, I meant Brad Pitt- and shame on you for not seeing this!
And, wow, this was the first reaaaaaalllllyyyy good modern movie with the idea of "Split personality/ Dr. Jeckyll, Mr. Hyde" thing. I don't know many movies that can pull that off- but if you can find me a movie as strange as this one, another one with two of my favorite actors starring in it (Edward Norton & Brad Pitt), and has some of the trippiest dialouge and narration in it in movie history ("I am Jack's liver"), I'd be more than happy to hear about it!

Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi) 5.0 Stars
A sweet movie that takes a person back to fairy tales after having watched it. Very whimsical, but this movie is capable of making you cry- as any good movie set up like this one should. And the animation is, by the way, top notch- as if Hayao Miyazaki CAN make a bad movie!

Saw III (2006,  R)
Saw III 4.0 Stars
Although i liked the premise of a Saw meant to shine a bigger spotlight on both Amanda and John's (A.K.A Jigsaw's) lives, I have to say that it isn't as interesting as it's two older brothers.

Saw II (2005,  R)
Saw II 4.5 Stars
Not really as good as the original, but like it's forefather, I fell in love because of the originality of the story.. and the uncompromising gory and nerve-gnawing scenes. My only complaint? I just wish Jigsaw had stayed A Mr. John Doe, despite us having seen his face in the other movie- hey, I'm not a fan of the Jason or Michael Meyer horror movie knock offs where the murderer is always hidden, never talks, and is always seen in de-Ja-Vu chase scenes- usually walking as slow as a zombie- but come on. Keeping most of Jigsaw's background as a little more swept under the rug could have been a nice little hook.

U can't get much more classic Wes Craven than this. lol, this movie has one of the coolest lines from movies of all time (I'm your boyfriend now, Nancy), and Freddy is one of the best classic movie maniacs of all time! I highly recommend this to those of U who haven't seen it

Thirteen Ghosts (13 Ghosts) (2001,  R)
Thirteen Ghosts (13 Ghosts) 5.0 Stars
One of my favorite movies- despite the fact that it comes up short on the "scary" end of the deal. Despite that, I sinply loved how it was designed- and the ghosts are some of the most lovingly brought-to-life movie villians/monsters that I have ever witnessed- if you're a fan of paranormal stuff, or love weird stuff in general, this may be for you. However, if you're looking for an edge-of-your-seat horror, you may be let down... but it does have it's moments, which occour rather frequently, thankfully.

Sin City (2005,  R)
Sin City 4.0 Stars
I love this movie that is lovingly based off of Sin City. What to glow about first? The actors and actresses who always seen tailer-fitted to their fictional characters? The depressing but cool and edgy fictional city in which all of the stories are set in? The comedic effect of some of the most darkest things in it? The way the movie. essentially, makes you feel sorry for the devil, i,e, the corrupt but somehow innocent characters, such as the women of Old Town? Or, maybe the way that the stories, the action sequences, and even the colors and backgrounds of the movie all remind me of hard-boiled or pure blood acton black and white comic books? Not to mention the fact that it's half directed by Quentin Tarantino, who's golden touch is vibrant in many aspects of the movie. My only complaint? The sometimes wayyy to unrealistic dialouge from the characters, some of the situations (cool as they may be) and the feeling that the movie is set in present day, but is dominated by a sadly at times failing try for the 50's.

A rare movie telling of the bravery of one man who had just wanted to save his family- and ends up saving the lives of countless people. I recommend this movie with all of my heart for anyone who's willing to watch some of the most horrendous acts ever commited to innocent human beings. Ree-enacted, of course, but the news footage of people being killed by machetes is REAL.

I lOVE this movie- not so much for Jack Black, although he's pretty O.K in this movie- but the kids are gold in this movie! I really loved the ending song with the kids, I thought they were adorable, and despite the G-Rated lyrics to it (which is normally irritating to me) I liked it

Not as good as anticipated, it stole alot of plot ideas from other horror movies who use the ideas in a much better way. But, the idea of the villian monster thing was much more original and interesting, which earns it more points.

I highly recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of British humor or sillyness in any form. Some peole may hate this movie, but I think for the middle and end of the film alone, it is by far one of the most watchable comedies out there today- especially with the deadly loss of classic brit humor on the market lately

National Lampoon's Vacation 4.5 Stars
A classic. I practically grew up watching this, and the beginning song is STILL stuck in my head :D
One of those classic comedies that, despite the change in styles and trends in the movie, doesn't deserve to be forgotten, it's a classic that defies time, because it relies not on as much things of their time but on fundamental things that happen to anyone of any year, even if it's decades later!
