Ugh. I wish a bug would kill me.
3 June 2004
My friend and I called the first Starship Troopers "The Shoe Movie", because that's all it would take to solve everything - one big shoe.

I wish I had a shoe to swat the creator of this worthless piece of crap. More along the lines of "The Amityville Horror" than the first movie, this poorly-written example of low-budget, blood filled gore made me want to leave the theatre. The only reason I didn't is that it was too awful to make it to theaters, and instead was released direct-to-video.

I wish the rental store had a return policy if you hated the flick. On the other hand, this movie is not worth fighting for your $6. I'd rather just try and forget I ever watched it.

The creators chose to stay far away from the original movie's tongue-in-cheek sci-fi spoofing, and decided instead to go with blood and gore. Lots of it. I won't give away anything by telling you what the source of the gore is, but don't get your curiosity up. It's not worth suffering through the eternally bad acting, directing, and writing that is - Starship Troopers 2.

Gas (1981)
1/10
Ugh - I need an antacid after this one!
17 December 1999
The writing is cheap and horrible, the jokes are pathetic, and I'll be nice about my opinion of the acting by not saying anything...

I saw this movie broadcast on television, and I found myself actually looking FORWARD to the commercials! The only thing I found half interesting was seeing Peter Aykroyd in a movie - one of the few he has made. His voice is almost identical to his brother Dan's voice.

Please spare yourself the trouble. This one isn't even worth watching as a joke. It makes me cringe at being Canadian, as it's a Canadian movie!

Rear Window (1954)
10/10
Ten stars! Another masterpiece!
19 November 1999
Alfred Hitchcock proved himself to be a master of his genre, and this film is one of his greatest. Rear Window is an amazing thrill ride of the mind - it requires you to actually THINK about what you're watching and follow along.

Hitchcock keeps your mind going throughout the film - after all, haven't we all been guilty of a small amount of voyeurism at least once? Extremely well written, and shot mostly from the main character's perspective, Rear Window is very entertaining at the same time it is thrilling, unlike a lot of more modern movies which rely on effects.

Watching a good Hitchcock like Rear Window is like reading a *very* good book! I highly recommend it!
