How do you get people interested in a comedy/slasher flick? Put Megan Fox in it, and parade in her in the trailers saying teaser lines about showing herself, that's it! But really, the movie has more depth than a possessed girl offing horny boys at her school. Diablo Cody, the writer of the popular "Juno," took another turn at writing from seems as though she watched "Evil Dead" and a John Hughes film and collaborated the goods from both. "Jennifer's Body" is a spunky take on a snobby girl who bosses her less popular friend to join her into seeing an indie band, who decides to sacrifice her to the devil so they will get signed. Little to they know, she wasn't pure and is know empowered by a demon who feeds on flesh. So, Jennifer starts brutally feeding off the boys in the girls and it's up to her best friend to stop it. Megan Fox is perfect for the role, and the writing is pretty good. Not a bad blockbuster at all!

Sorority Row
(2009)
Worthy until the final 20 minutes
18 September 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Being late August, early September, it marks the beginning of horror movie season with hits like "Halloween 2," "The Final Destination," both sequels, but then there's "Sorority Row," which from the trailers portrays an interesting premise. Sorority girls pull on a mean prank on a sister's boyfriend who cheated on her. They trick him into thinking the girl is dying, and are taking her body away to get rid of the evidence. But, he actually kills her which leaves the girls to dump her body in a mine. Of course, there's five girls; one H.B.I.C, the drunk, a goody-girl, the normal, and an Asian. Eight months later, the girls are preparing for a graduation party and a killer starts killing them and all involved with the incident one by one.
The killer should have been someone else, instead of a psycho boyfriend in my opinion. The motive would have been better, but I guess the writers decided to take another turn. Not a bad choice for a horror movie though.

WALL·E
(2008)
Something might be wrong with me, but this is not my cup of tea.
6 June 2009
Pixar has a reputation of not making bad movies, until Wall-E (in my opinion.) After all the amazing reviews, I saw it expecting a spectacular fun Disney flick but instead got an annoying robot loving another robot with a message about the environment. Disney is supposed to cater to little kids, they do not know about the environment, so kinda threw me off. The only thing I knew the kids would love was seeing Wall-e make a mess out of his clumsy self. Also, I don't know if it's just me, but all of Pixar's humans are always fat. Yes, this one's plot line makes them that way but still, didn't seem any different than the humans in any other film. I loved the short before the movie, and honestly I wish that was the movie and this wasn't. If anyone can explain why this movie is so highly acclaimed, inform me (But not really, I know i'm going to be hated for saying all this, it's just my opinion.)
Friday the 13th
(2009)
Take away the drugs and nudity and it's not bad.
14 February 2009
Warning: Spoilers
If you love horror movies, and have seen the Friday the 13th series, you'll enjoy this remake that sums up the first 3 movies in the installment. Mommy Voorhees gets mad at the counselors for letting her son drown, she dies, Jason witnesses and then carries on her legacy. He kills with no mask, then finds the mask and kills some more.
The first group of five characters include two couples and a nerdy whatever searching the area for weed to sell. What seemed like a ghost story to them about a killer at the camp told by the nerd, started coming true one by one. A few weeks later, a new set of characters including a jerk, his girlfriend, a couple, some other whorish girl, token black guy and funny guy take a trip to the jerk's family cabin looking a good time.
While partying, a lone biker wanders around searching for his missing sister (who was one in the first five). The biker and girlfriend find Jason carrying a body to his camp area. As it gets dark, they start to fall prey one by one and not in the gory fashion as in "Freddy Vs Jason" but in a gruesome fashion.
The only flaws I have was the nudity everywhere, and the fact there's always the same kind of cliché groups of people that wouldn't normally hang out together. Other than that, great slasher flick and date movie.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop
(2009)
Pefect start for 2009
17 January 2009
After waiting opening night in the freezing cold to see this, I was happily not disappointed in Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Yes, we all know it's not meant for critical acclaim but for pure comical entertainment and it delivers. I'm sure after anyone sees it, they're going to want one of the little vespa vehicles he drives.
Anyway, Kevin James is Paul Blart, an overweight suburban dad wanting to be a cop but instead he's a security guard at a mall. He has a daughter who's mother left him once she got citizenship. Paul has a crush on the new girl at the wig kiosk but of course he's conscience about his weight. Then one day, some organized crooks take over the mall and Blart is unaware. Once the crooks have hostages including Blart's crush and his daughter then he decides to take things into his own hands and save the mall.
At first I was terribly disappointed to see this was PG-13 because I thought it was then going to be a little contrived potty/stupid humor film for kids. Yes some stupid humor was there but in the best way. I think this would be the perfect family or date movie (as it was for me) so take a trip to comical fun.

The day the earth was bored...
15 December 2008
No, I haven't seen the original, nor do I care to after watching this boring and pointless excuse for entertainment. I bet the old one from 1951 had more suspense than this Hollywood garbage.
Yes, the movie had a captivating start that left you with questions you wanted answered. Yes, Keanu plays a magnificent alien and his character is likable yet confusing at times because you're expected to believe he's bad, then good again, then bad. It leaves you wondering where the filmmakers were going with that transformation. A lot of people (myself included) probably thought this was a futuristic type earth-ridden disaster because the marketing showed the only action/destruction scenes in the preview.
Like Wall-E, it's a wake-up call for humans to stop treating the earth bad, but in my opinion, Wall-E was crap and so was this. The only positives were Will Smith's adorable son and Keanu.

Saw V
(2008)
They went two steps down, and one step up.
26 October 2008
After Saw 3 and 4, I didn't really wanna see more people die horribly for no ways. It was weird to me that someone would take orders from a dead guy. As Saw 3 came around, the horror and suspense was gone and it seemed to just be a gore show with another twist that led to another sequel, which is what this one did.
The story continues as Hoffman tries to hide his identity as Jigsaw's apprentice. Agent Strahm believes Hoffman is linked to Jigsaw and tries to prove it, while another game of terror is in store for five connected individuals. Full of confusing flashbacks, not so much gruesome acts compared to the last sequels, and a horrible ending, Saw 5 was here whether we wanted it or not.

Eagle Eye
(2008)
What was Shia thinking?
4 October 2008
What could have been an amazing blockbuster with an A-list star, was just a boring, ultra annoying "convenient" film filled with explosions and modern technology.
It seems as if the writers just said as a plot "Hey let's get Shia LaBeouf to be controlled by a mysterious voice" and just went with it. I thought with D.J Caruso directing, because 'Disturbia' was quite amazing that he once again could make a great film with Shia.
Basically, two strangers get calls threatening their lives if they don't follow the orders of the caller while the government tracks them down. Very convenient action and peril with no suspense, and no explanation that actually makes sense. This proves commercials/trailers are very deceiving. Honestly, I'm disappointed in Shia for deciding to do this.

Spider-Man 3
(2007)
Finally, we have Venom!
19 September 2008
Seeing the poster of this in early of 2007, with the dark Spiderman had me so siked for this sequel. I was not disappointed like a lot of people were, even though it had many flaws.
From Spiderman 1, I didn't like Mary Jane Watson, so of course I still didn't care about her character. The flaws I had with the movie, were the Sandman in general, I just didn't like him. His effects in the end were horrible and never would I expect to see "Emo Peter" with black hair and eyeliner.
I always thought Topher Grace should have been Spiderman, from the second I saw him in "That 70's Show." Seeing him as Brock/Venom was quite cool, but not quite right. Venom should have been bigger, but hey not too bad.
This follows the second obviously as Peter bonds with this mysterious goo which brings turmoil within his life/career.
Worth while if you follow the comic and movies

Igor
(2008)
"Yes Master" stay away from this film
19 September 2008
The only reason I gave this 2 and not 1, is because of Steve Buscemi's character who was a little amusing. Other than that, the talent is wasted. John Cusack, John Cleese, Buscemi, and Sean Hayes can do so much better than this.
It seems like Tim Burton's style with a Frankenstein-ish storyline. In Malaria, an always gloomy town, where everyone's either an evil scientist or an "Igor." And a certain Igor, played by John Cusack, wants to be an evil scientist who is better than his own master. He's created a bunny who can't die named Scamper (Buscemi) and Brain (Hayes). As his master's creation leads to his demise, he brings his new creation to life. However, instead of being evil, she's nice.
I kind of lost interest after that, all I remember was she named herself Eva, was taught to talk, and some other evil scientist wants to steal Igor's creation blah blah.
Cute idea, very poorly executed. Rent The Nightmare Before Christmas instead.

Babylon A.D.
(2008)
Vin Diesel needs a better comeback...
1 September 2008
I believe the best part of the whole movie was seeing that Vin Diesel has his real comeback movie with the new Fast & Furious movie coming out next summer.
I thought this was going to be Vin Diesel's comeback because he was the action star of the new millennium and hey this did look appealing from the trailer.
The girl who he is escorting is horrible and annoying, if I were Vin's character, I would have killed her myself because of the crap she put him through. Babylon has a good story idea, but sadly it took a confusing turn five minutes in and it leaves you questioning everything. The few action scenes did take away the crappy story, which is the reason I gave it 5/10.

The Rocker
(2008)
The Rocker rocks it quite well
20 August 2008
First off, from Fish's attitude, this obviously was supposed to be written for someone like Jack Black but Rainn Wilson holds himself well. A movie like this didn't need a big hit star, just rock n roll and comedy.
Rainn plays Fish, a drummer fired from his band Vesuvius the night they get signed. 20 years later, still a loser, after losing his job and girlfriend, he is forced to move in with his sister. After his nephew's band loses their drummer for their upcoming gig at the prom, Fish fills in. Soon, there band hits it big and they learn the rock lifestyle.
Original comedy, great fun, a must see ;]

Lost Boys: The Tribe
(2008 Video)
She's family a$$hole
31 July 2008
First off, there should not have been a sequel to this if all the characters didn't return like BOTH Frog bros. and Sam. From other reviews, they over exaggerate saying this is crap, because it really doesn't compare to the original by a long shot, but it works as a nice rental, one time see.
Siblings Chris and Nicole move back into their hometown after their parents die. Nicole becomes involved with the local surfer/head vampire Shane (Kiefer Sutherland's step-brother Angus). Chris becomes protective, however Nicole has become a vampire. Chris then finds help from Edgar Frog to take down Shane and his gang. Way more blood, unneeded women, but like I said, an okay rental.

Never Back Down
(2008)
"Never Back Down!" is present day for "Wash on, wash off"
31 July 2008
What makes Never Back Down one of the better movies of 2008 is the lack of the overused polished actors, actual emotions, and entertaining action.
This movie gets your adrenaline up and makes you wanna knock out a complete stranger. Sean Faris plays Jake Tyler, a rebellious teen who moves to Florida because of his little brother's tennis scholarship. His vicious past of violence attracts the local bad-ass Ryan, who specials in mixed martial arts. After a beating in front of the whole school, Jake trains with a legendary fighter in hopes to beat Ryan.
The acting is superb, and very enjoyable. Fair warning, don't drink an energy drink before watching.

The Dark Knight
(2008)
"Why so serious?"
19 July 2008
"The Dark Knight" suppresses the boring/uninteresting "Batman Begins" by a long shot. With a well-written script, a visually impressive aspect and a stunning last performance by Heath Ledger that still blows me away, this is the top movie of the summer besides "Kung Fu Panda." Heath Ledger's performance as the very psychotic and creepy Joker, is by far the best i've seen in some years. He took that maniacal character last played by Jack Nicholson, completely flipped his antics, and way of life in a remarkable way. Aaron Eckhart, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Maggie Gyllenhal & Michael Caine all co-star to Christian Bale who returns as the Caped Crusader.
The Joker terrorizes Gotham City leaving Bruce Wayne to make Batman the hero of the city. Great action, great action, well worth the money for once ;]

Horton Hears a Who!
(2008)
Horton should not hear a Who
28 June 2008
Sorry, but to me, this was a big disappointment. Not on Jim Carrey or Steve Carrell's part, but in the script in general. It didn't get my attention like The Grinch did or even some of Cat In The Hat. The anime scene was enjoyable, but something about it just made me think this was just a reason to make more money.
Everyone knows Dr. Seuss' tale of Horton Hears A Who, but somehow it didn't seem like Dr. Seuss' tale at all. The characters looked like the pages of the book, but a very dull and boring version. I really think i'm the only one I know who didn't like it, and honestly I don't know why. I prefer Kung Fu Panda a thousand times more.

The Happening
(2008)
Same to the cliché title....
13 June 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Absolutely truly, THE HAPPENING IS NOT HAPPENING.
M. Night Shyamalhan (sp) lost his freaky spunk after Signs. This was quite a good idea. What if nature turned on us? By why make it so boring? Add more suspense, and less of Zooey Deschanel's big eyes every few seconds.
Mark Wahlberg is always pleasant and awesome actor in my opinion, but I hate him for accepting this crap. He did well with what he had to work with. The cast isn't that bad with John Leguizamo and his daughter in the film Ashlyn Sanchez are great, & Spencer Breslin is great to see (last I remember was The Kid).
I don't understand the R-rating. They were maybe 2 gruesome scenes at most, involving a man impaling himself with a lawnmower & a guy getting his arm ripped off by a lion. Two kids did get brutally shot with a shotgun as well, but nonetheless, a R-rating? Please.
Enough of my ranting, I am just disappointed in M. Night Shyamalhan for wasting my time.

Kung Fu Panda
(2008)
Prepare for absolute awesomeness
13 June 2008
Finally, an animated-CGI film I absolutely adore! I love Jack Black as it was, but him as a panda is the icing on the cake.
Black voices Po, a lovable yet lazy panda who is chosen as the legendary Dragon Warrior. The Dragon Warrior is the master of Kung Fu who will protect China from the deadly Tai Laung. Problem is, Po's trainer Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) believes it's a mistake and that one of the Furious Five should be chosen. All the voices and animals are remarkably charming minus Tigress (Jolie). With loads of action, comedy, bright colors and an amazing time, Po rises to complete awesomeness.
You will laugh, maybe cry at Po and his comrades in this wonderfully paced adventure comedy from Dreamworks. Hopefully, it's great success won't lead to a sequel which would ruin its spunk. I personally think I laughed more than the little kids in the theater, it appeals to adults and kids, mostly adults I think.

Prom Night
(I) (2008)
It's a horror that this is considered horror
12 June 2008
I absolutely hate PG-13 suspense/horror films because it limits what they can do. Mostly so it caters to the younger crowd. The only acception was Disturbia. Anyway, what's a good thing to say about this movie? It's short, but feels like 2 hours. Not suspenseful, not scary, and a crappy script. It's so sloppy, like they made it overnight or assigned a middle schooler to write it.
Basically, a teenager was stalked by a psycho teacher and he killed her family. He was sent away, and he broke out 3 years later on her senior prom and attacks the place. The killer is not mysterious or creepy, just a Javier Bardem in No Country For Old Men expression-less looking guy with a pocket knife....very scary. (sarcasm)
Don't waste your time or money on this atrocity, I wish I hadn't.

Juno
(2007)
Napoleon Dynamite meets Superbad
8 June 2008
Coming from a guy's point of view, this is a mature, more adult version of Napoleon Dynamite mixed with a less-sexed out Superbad. It's not that bad, kinda girly at moments and uncomfortable with women.
I watched this with my girlfriend, and it has a charming story of a real serious situation amongst high school pregnancy. It's real light, some dialogue is comical, but the overall message is still there. Ellen Page is a fresh new face and so delightful taking on a remarkable, well played leading role as Juno MacDuff. I do admit, it's slightly over-hyped, because it's not a movie you absolutely have to see. Myself, I rented it with nothing to do and I enjoyed it. If you didn't like the way Napoleon Dynamite was, or the "out-there" humor like Superbad, rent/see something else.

Jumper
(2008)
Visually awesome, story not so much
3 June 2008
The effects these days in film is so extraordinary. There's no more animation, all CGI. In "Jumper", it relies on the effects, which are amazing on the big screen.
Of course, Samuel L. Jackson is in it...(I personally think he's overrated. He's been in too much in such a short time) as the bad guy out to get the "Jumpers" that Hayden Christensen and Jamie Bell play. One of the main flaws was the relationship between Hayden and Rachel (I think that's her name). It didn't seem natural. This was a fun movie to see visually, but the horrible relationship ruined it however the effects covered it up. Nothing more than a decent rental or a one time in the theater.

Superhero Movie
(2008)
Not your average crappy spoof movie
6 April 2008
Finally, not such a horrible spoof. After Epic Movie, Date Movie & Scary Movie 3,4 I could not tolerate another stupid spoof movie. Not to mention not even seeing Meet The Spartans.
The main plot is spoofing Spiderman with Drake Bell leading as the teen who gets bitten by a dragonfly and receiving powers. Of course, he secretly loves his hot neighbor and fights the evil doctor.
My main two flaws with this movie was how they tried to hard to get a punchline. They tried a punchline every 30 seconds, when maybe 4/10 worked. Also, the Regina King character was so pointless and dumb to me. She was so annoying with her yelling "you cheatin' on me", just ugh.
Superhero Movie is okay for a rental, but nothing that special.

We Own the Night
(2007)
They don't really own the night
11 March 2008
I honestly was ready for some betrayal, Mark Wahlberg ass-kickings and action, but it was really another hit men, drug drama. It's not the worst i've seen, but nothing really special.
Joaquin Phoenix plays a nightclub owner with a hot girlfriend, Eva Mendez, who hides his connection with the police (brother and father Mark Wahlberg, and Robert Duvall.) When they bust his place for drugs, Joaquin must save his family from Russian hit men. Joaquin gives a quite remarkable performance, and I'm a little surprised he wasn't nominated. As a movie, I wouldn't give it the best recommendation, it's nothing more than a fair rental.

(2007 Video)
"The beads will be lubed up, we're spitting on them"

This should have a been an extra feature on the Jackass Number Two DVD. It has some great moments, some not so great, and some sickening things.
If you're a Jackass fan you should see it, but paying so much to see it isn't the best idea. These are basically the rejected scenes not used in Number Two, and for some you'll understand why. Some is just inappropriate, but so hilarious like the original stuff. Ever since the first Jackass movie, they've all been pushing the limits of what they can do, and lately the more disgusting and cruder stuff comes out like more nudity and vomiting. It also seems more Hollywood, but nonetheless another piece of Jackass.

I'd rather actually do drugs than watch this again...

I'm not a pothead, but I like drug comedies like Grandma's Boy, & Half Baked and thought this would be another goofy pot movie....wow what a piece of crap.
I don't think I even smirked once at this movie. I like Anna Faris, Danny Masterson, Adam Brody but the movie was just a waste of film and talent. I mean if it was trying to tell people to not do drugs, good luck with that if they get the audiences' attention quick enough, which it won't. Personally, I don't even think potheads will find this funny at all.
I don't know what the director or writers were thinking but, please no more pathetic movies like this.
