The acting was pretty medicore and the plot was at best pointless. The violence and murders were creativly filmed and planned, yet why? There is always the question why lingering in the air, even after the end of the film.
The characters are well developed but for no apparent reason, you find no connection with the characters and if you did it wouldn't matter. See it if you like classic horror, becuase the elements are mostly 'classic-horror-masterpiece'. It's an okay scare, but only for the jump factor.... if any. |

| Keith - PG-13 |
I didn't have high standards for this one, but it turned out pretty great.
The acting was pretty dramatic and perfect. I loved Jesse McCartney's Keith, it was a wonderfully created character and life. The script and the settings combined to create an epic story for the ages. We're here in a yellow truck a road ahead of us and nothing but opportunities HILARIOUS AND TEAR-ENVOKING. Up to the standards of A Walk to Remember! |

| Panic Room - R |
The film direction and special effects are superbly done. I would reccomend watching Panic Room for the direction alone. It's done in such a unique and creative way. It's almost unreal.
Jodie Foster and Kristin Stewart look and speak alike, it was a good casting call. Yoakam, Whitaker, and Leto were perfect choices and played their roles as robbers stupendously. Especially Forest Whitaker. The plot was great. The suspence and thrill were done well with minimal violence and gore. The language adds a humourous undertone to the film. |

| Schindler's List - R |
Beautiful movie. An inspiration to all ages past, present and future.
Steven Spielberg is a pure incredible genius. He used black and white, which made the few things colored more significant and it showed you want Oskar Schindler was feeling. THE LIST IS LIFE This movie took you inside Oskar Shindler. You saw that he started out just trying to make money, but he realized that the jews were people too, that they had feelings and thoughts and that they needed someone to save them. He realized that he could do it, and still make money. A win-win situation. The screenplay was excellent, it put german and english in with mix enough that you felt closer to the story without having to know what they were saying. The camera direction was marvelous, it used angles to tell the part of the story words couldn't. The violence was well done. The gore and effects were realistic yet it wasn't over the top. It held decency and let you feel how strong each death was. There was a lot of nudity but it was used to show what it was like to be a jew during the holocoust or because it was nessacary. The acting was stupendous. Liam Neeson is a wonderful actor for the ages. His approach on Shindler made the movie at least 3/4 of what it was, and how much it affects you. His face, voice, and body-language lets you into his head. It tells you how he changes, how he wants to change, and what he does because he has too. Ralph Fiennes was amazing, too. His character was a hard one to play because he is a cold-blood-thirsty man who doesn't care about who lives or dies, and will shoot you for not sticking out, or for doing something too 'normal'. Ralph Fiennes did this wonderfully, with a hard jaw line and a sarcastically cold laugh and jokes that only he would find funny. Ben Kingsley did wonderfully. His character was a thankful and non-caring man. he didn't care if he lived or died as long as his death was something that gave life to others. He recognized what Shindler did and he recognized it by showing us with his eyes. He had such great eyes and a great vocal range, a range filled with different emotions and passion without changing volume. Every female actress, and every jewish actor added to the film without having to stick out of the crowd. Every jew that died, lived, or was there added to the affect of the film without having to say something loudly or be the center of attention. The little girl in the red coat didn't have to draw attention to herself to have all eyes on her. The ending will touch you like you've never been touched before. Not only the movie's ending, but the ending with Shindler's grave stone. This movie will change the way you look at life. It's a movie for the ages.

| The Box - PG-13 | I have seen the episode of the Twilight Zone that this is based on. I hope they change the ending, NOT THAT THE ENDING OF THE TWILIGHT ZONE WAS BAD... it would just ruin the movie for me. But I like the idea of Cameron Diaz in this part. It's different but still good. Frank Langella already looks and acts the part to me so he was a plus. | November 5, 2009 | N/A | |||

The acting was good, but nicole kidman was the best.
The plot was okay, but revolved a little too much on Robin. |

| Orphan - R |
The overall problem with this movie is that I knew what was going to happen and when. It was too predictable.
The characters lacked real emotions, everything seemed so fake and so just perfectly timed. A good horror movie has to keep you on the edge of your seat. Not waiting impatiently for something to happen. The ending was pretty predictable and stupid. It either needs to be realistic and scary or scary enough that you don't care it's not realistic. This was neither. Once you find out Esther's secret you will be angry that you waited all that time to hear something so pathetic. I will admit you probablly won't be able to guess what's wrong with Esther. But besides that one secret every other moment of the movie is predictable. The only good actors were Vera Farmiga (who had some good scenes of motherly acting but mostly somewhat fake parental emotions) and the little girl who played Max (becuase even though she's like 5 she had actually acting skills more than anyone else in the cast). Don't see unless you want to see a nun die. |

| The Ninth Gate - R |
I was intriqued and into the movie fully, I was entraptured with it, until the ending. The end was too confusing. After deep thought I believe I understand it more, but there is still no way to be sure.
The whole feeling of the movie is Polanski. There's this uneasyness that you get when watching this movie. In the pit of your stomach there is this reluctance to like Dean Corso. Then you finally accept him, and well... it turns out sometimes your gut feeling is right. Johnny Depp was an amazingly perfect choice. He was sarcastic and moody yet funny and entertaining. The way that he revults people yet draws them closer is intriquing. Frank Langella was.... average. Lena Olin was more average. The sets were amazing and the plot was well wound. I was completly intent on knowing what the secret of the nine gates was. The book was so intresting. I loved the girl. She was never named but she was a huge part of the movie. She was Depp's support system. My expectations were higher but they were mostly fulfilled besides the ending. Polanski did a great job directing it. It wasn't as scary or thrilling as a Polanski normally is, but the plot twisted and turned many times throughout the film. A MUST SEE! BRAVO! |

| The Machinist - R |
This was a truly once-in-a-life-time spectacular movie. There is no other movie I can compare this too. This is a movie that met and passed every expectation I had set for it. Christian Bale is some new kind of insane to put himself through such a grueling body change. The plot was amazingly written and thoughtout. Each twist was unexpected and intriquite.
Christian Bale played such a layered and creepy character. He washed his hands with bleach, he saw a guy no one else saw, his mind was literally skipping parts of his life. I loved how well Christain's face and eyes showed what torment was going on inside Trevor's mind. How each movement was Trevor, and not Bale's. Jennifer Jason Leigh was the only thing that made Trevor real. He had a love. Someone who loved him back. Jennifer played the love realisticly, yet was still just as crazy as Trevor in a different way. John Sharian was a perfect choice. You have to have the perfect person to play Ivan and boy did they choose the absolute one hundred percent perfet person to play the tangibal crazy. I loved the scrip. The screenplay was written well. The dialoug itself was realistic and let you see how he went from normal-ish to full blown koo-koo. I really enjoyed the sets, it's hard to believe it was Barcelona and not LA. Trevor's apartment was really great because everything was white, and stark, yet it was messy and bloody. The notes, and the clues were well thought out. The ending was amazing and in know way could anyone have called it. I myself found a few of the clues and understood a little bit of what was going on. But the ending was crazy! How did that happen? It was all hinted at. Especially in the ROUTE 66 ride at the carnival. It was the ride of Trevor's life. GREAT MOVIE! A MUST SEE! SEEEEEE ITTTT NOOOOWWWWW! |

| Saw - R |
This is one of the few Saw movies that has a plot. This was a really great movie. The plot was inticate and thick, and the acting was great.
Each new memory or clue they unlocked led them closer to survival or death. Shawnee Smith did a great job in her few minutes on screen. Adam and Doctor Gordon did great jobs. I loved how the story unfolded just through them. The ending was great, and I really didn't expect something that 'final'. This movie is one where you have to focus on every clue. Each moment, each thing that happens is a clue to the ending and how they'll escape, or how they won't. The puzzles were great and original. The screenplay, direction, acting, and sets were all original and wonderful. It's a shame they made SO MANY sequals. They should've just stopped at 2. A MUST SEE. It's not that gorey and the parts that are, are quick and not shown in detail. |

| Saw II - R |
This is an okay movie.It has more of plot than the next few, and has better acting and plot twists. Each step and each move leads to a new and exotic death trap. Each gorier than the next. I didn't find the gore all that realistic or frightening but some have and most will.
Shawnee Smith did an excellent job, and always has. She's a great actress and helps every movie she acts in. Erik Knudsen was also a great addition to this film. Tobin Bell was an average actor and the idea of his character "Jigsaw" or John, is much more compelling and frightening than the actor and his acting job. Each trap is less like a trap in this movie. I remember only 4 traps for the eight people, and only three of them killed anyone. Most of the victims did die but it was more a statement on human craziness and the power of anger. The plot was well thought out and the ending was an ending I never saw coming. It was a great screenplay and wonderful directing. A see if you can handle some gore. |

| The Blob - R |
Besides the just above average acting this is no more a gore fest than Edward Scissorhands. It's a comic movie, without trying to be. Shawnee Smith did a good job, but the movie itself was a discredit to the original "Blob". Each death is less than scary and makes you unnerved only because it passes as 'horror' in some peoples eyes.
Maybe a watch. It has some good moments, but nothing scary. The gore had once been called the goriest movie of all time. Now I'm going to say, No. Saw is much gorey, obviously. This is less gorey than Sweeney Todd but more gorey than BeetleJuice. It might be creepy, if there was any way in hell it could be real. I'd say watch only if your bored and can't find the original. |
