Saw
(2004)

If you like Se7en, then you will like Saw.
I liked this movie. I enjoyed the story, acting, and the suspense. This movie is like Se7en, because its about a psycho who chooses people that are involved in one vice or another and tricks them into killing themselves or others; leaving them messed up for life and maybe better off dead. The main gripe I have about the movie is the Killer's reasons for choosing his victims was pretty weak. But, this lack of a decent reason for the complicated design for madness the Killer put his victims through, also made the killer more interesting, mysterious, increased the belief that any average ordinary person could be next. I was surprised about the ending. It is the reason why this movie got a 7 instead of a 6. I went to see this movie hoping to be disturbed. I didn't get disturbed, but I was entertained. Saw should be seen at least once by all (except children).

Kill Bill: Vol. 2
(2004)

This movie SUCKS!!
I really tried to like this movie, but it's hard to like crap! I don't know what people see in these kill bill movies? These movies are bad! They are know where near realistic! My imagination can only bend so far! If this was animation, then it wouldn't be a problem. Come on -punching out of a coffin and digging your way out of the ground?! And how many times will they not kill her when they have the chance, just so she can magically survive and kill them?! These movies are insane. I hate this crap!! Again, if this were a comedy I would give it a higher score, but since it is not then it gets a 3/10 (only because I did laugh). I didn't like Kill Bill and Kill Bill 2 is not better.

Kill Bill: Vol. 1
(2003)

Disappointing! Don't believe the hype!!
I'm going to get to the point: Kill Bill is a let down. I heard & read great things about this movie, so I was very disappointed while watching it. The story is nothing special. Lady wants revenge on the people who ruined her life. But, the story isn't the problem. No, the problem with this movie is the same thing that the hype is about; the action! Bottom line: the ACTION SUCKS!! I've seen a lot of action movies (I love japanese samurai & chinese kung fu movies) and Kill Bill is not great! Hell, is barely good! Everything is so exaggerated!! The action gets so bad that its laughable. While watching Kill Bill, I would say to myself, "This is so ridiculous! It's like watching a bad samurai anime!" The best part about the movie was the anime part. That was tight! I could watch that part over and over. I don't know what people see in Kill Bill. Maybe there are millions of people who're just ignorant to the fact that thousands of movies like Kill Bill are out there, that have the same kind of story & action, but do it a hell of a lot better. If you like Kill Bill, then you are in the majority. But, for those out there who have seen lots of martial art movies, Kill Bill is a nice movie to make fun of!! Score: 6/10. Not terrible, just not good neither!

Longshot
(2001)

Oh man!!
Longshot is one of the weakest movies I've even seen! This could of been a great comedy, if it wasn't for the bad writing, bad acting, hell, the story in general is just dumb!! Oh and the cameos!! There are so many cameos it's ridiculous. Every 5 to 10 minutes there is a famous face. The "Captain" must of called up every manufactured pop star in Orlando, FL. Everyone in the movie is well built and polished like a Doll. Damn, I felt exploited after watching this crap. I wish I could sue Mr. Pearlman. This movie isn't terrible to people who like pop music, so let them waste their money on this masterpiece, and be ashamed they did 5 years from now! But, for the rest of us "Normal, level headed folks" make fun of it for what this garbage is!!

Chappelle's Show
(2003)

Awesome Show!!
First I would like to say is that, if you don't like Dave Chappelle, then don't (i repeat: DON'T) watch his show. If you've seen the show and didn't like it, then don't continue to watch the show. Now, if you like dave chappelle, then this show is for you. I got the first season and dvd and it is funny. It can be offensive to some, but it's a funny show. Just watch it for the "P*** on you" song!! I cry every time I watch it. Now, the bloopers and deleted scenes I didn't find that funny at all and the uncensored scenes aren't anymore shocking than when they were censored (only a few breast shots and a lot of swearing). Nice show!! I give it a "8".

SpiderBabe
(2003)

Not a good.
This movie is bad. I saw the rated and the unrated versions. They are terrible!! Now, I know it's suppose to be a low budget, porn spoof of spiderman, but Spiderbabe is just not good at being bad-good. It's not funny! Not funny at all!! I wanted to laugh. I tried to laugh. But this movie let me down. At least the unrated version has lots of nudity to look forward to. And is it me, because Mundae is not a great looking woman. From the waist down she's okay, but on the way up leaves much to be desired. She does look good in that school girl outfit. Please, if you must watch this spiderbabe, rent it first. Rated or unrated, doesn't really make any difference, they're both bad to me!!

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist
(2002)

The worst movie I've ever seen!!
I don't know the words to tell you how bad this movie is!! It's just terrible!! I know it was made to make fun of kung fu movies, this Kung Pow is not funny. NOT FUNNY AT ALL!! Now, I've seen spoofs before, hell I'm even one of the few people who enjoyed Pootie Tang, but Kung Pow just sucks!! Thank God I didn't see this in the theaters! I would of had to burn the place down if I didn't get my money back. This movie is so bad that I couldn't bare watching the whole thing. I watched the first 30 or so minutes and then went back later to watch the last 20 (i think). The movie is bad!! For those people who like this film or even "painfully" watched the whole thing, you are unique individuals. God help you.

The Transporter
(2002)

It's an okay movie.
The Transporter is pretty good. This movie as action and a good bit of comedy. It's almost like watching a b-movie with a better budget. It's not anything too special, but it's worth a watch. There's an all right plot and enough action to keep you entertained. It's fun to watch and I enjoyed it. I give it a 7/10.

The Matrix Reloaded
(2003)

Lots of action!
Reloaded is a cool movie. There's a ton of action, cool characters, and the plot was a little bit hard to understand (for me). I talked with a few friends who thought the story dragged on and was dull, but if you like movies that go over your head the first few times you watch it, like I do, then this is for you. If you just like action movies, then go see X-Men 2, but if you want a story that's out of the ordinary then go see The Matrix Reloaded.

Diary of a Sex Addict
(2001)

The dullest dairy I've had the misfortune to see.
Don't let the title trick you into watching this movie. I read the title, saw that it came on in the middle of the night, and figured it was one of those soft porn movies. This movie is bad. If you like soft porn movies, then I'm sorry to say this isn't one. There are a lot of sex but nothing shown and they only last for 5 seconds or so.

Batoru rowaiaru
(2000)

Worth every dollar.
I found out about Battle Royale from video game and anime magazines, so I wanted to see what's it about. Since I couldn't rent it from anywhere I knew of, I had to buy it. I just finished watching it and I have to say this is a great movie. Lots of action, drama, comedy, romance . . . this movie has everything. I'm not into many japanese live action movies, but after seeing Battle Royale, I'm going to watch more. Can't wait til part two comes out. This is a must buy (if you don't mind reading subtitles).

La taqueria
(2003)

Not for everyone.
When the movie started, I really couldn't tell that it did. I was hoping it was a very bad and long commercial. The story is bad, the acting is bad, this film is bad. La Taqueria is so bad, that's it's almost not funny. Troma movies are 5 times better than this. This movie is the worst; IN ENGLISH!! Watch the movie in Spanish. It's still not good, but it's a hell of a lot better. The acting improved by like a thousand!! I only saw the first 45 minutes in Spanish and there was a huge, I MEAN HUGE, difference! My advice, watch in Spanish version 5/10 and stay away from the English version 0/10.

Scared
(2002)

A waste of time.
The name of this movie was "Cut Throat" when I saw it. It is just bad. I've seen some bad movies and this one is in the top 10 all time worst. Bad acting, bad story, bad everything. If you like bad movies, then watch this. You and your friends will have a great time tearing this garbage apart. This movie was a waste of money for whoever put up the dough to make it.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
(2002)

Great Movie!!
This movie is great!! I don't have the words . . . Beautiful, just beautiful. All I can say is, "Go see the movie now. Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is the best movie of 2002." I can't wait to see the final movie.

The Fast and the Furious
(2001)

I don't understand why people love this movie.
I've tried. Oh man, I've tried. I just can't help but not like this movie. It's just not good. Maybe it's me. Okay, the cars were cool, but the rest of the movie was just bad. There's no way to look at it. If you love cars (or Vin Diesel) then you will love this movie. But, if you love a good movie with substance, then stay away from this movie no matter how many people tell you it's great.

Showtime
(2002)

It's an okay movie.
If you didn't like any of Eddie Murphy's recent movie (eception: Sherk), then you probably won't like this neither. Showtime is about two cops who are the stars of a reality t.v. show called "Showtime". This movie is okay. Showtime has pretty much the same feel has Eddie Murphy's other films (has a few curse words here and there, but still feels like a family movie). Me personally, I like the old Eddie Murphy from 48 hours, Beverly Hills Cop, and RAW.

The Fast and the Furious
(2001)

I don't understand why people love this movie.
I've tried. Oh man, I've tried. I just can't help but not like this movie. It's just not good. Maybe it's me. Okay, the cars were cool, but the rest of the movie was just bad. There's no way to look at it. If you love cars (or Vin Diesel) then you will love this movie. But, if you love a good movie with substance, then stay away from this movie no matter how many people tell you it's great.

The Royal Tenenbaums
(2001)

This was not funny and I don't know why.
I didn't find this movie to be good at all. When I saw the cover, I thought The Royal Tenenbaums would be great, but I was left very disappointed. I don't really understand what happened. This movie just didn't feel right. I found myself laughing only a few times and really not enjoying this film. Other people like this movie and that's fine by me, but I thought this movie was long, slow, and boring. I give it a 3. Rent it first.

The Time Machine
(2002)

Worth a watch.
The Time Machine is a good movie. Everyone the family can watch it. It's a tad slow in the beginning, but it makes up for that once the time traveling starts. The only complaints I have about this movie are that it's a little too short, there's not a lot of time traveling going on, and it's replay value isn't that good. It really is a good movie and if you haven't seen it, then you should.

Resident Evil
(2002)

Best video game to movie so far.
I'm going to get to the point on this one. This was a good movie. But if you're a fan of the video game and you're one of those nic-pick and this and that, than just stay away from this one. The truth is that NO MOVIE WILL EVER BE LIKE THE VIDEO GAME!!! Resident Evil movie is the video game like X-Men movie is to comic. If you're a fan than take this movie for what it is: a movie. Save that "that can't happen" or "that's not the way it is in the video game" for your friends who care.

Sang faa sau see
(1998)

It's almost like Resident Evil in a mall.
This movie was good. I picked in up, because it reminded me of Resident Evil. Bio Zombie was basic, cool, funny, and most importantly, it kept my attention. The movie moves at a steady pace and the ending is a surprise. If you like zombie movies at are more fun than frightening and you don't mind dudded films from overseas, then give Bio Zombie try?

Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
(2000)

This is a Great Sequel.
If you liked the first movie, you'll love this one. Bloodlust is one of the best vampire movies around in anime or live action. The animation in this movie beautiful. It also has a great story and the characters are cool as hell. This anime is a must buy for any anime or vampire fan.

Snatch
(2000)

This is not a porn!
This movie is great. It's full of lies, stealing, murder, and comedy! This movie is about nothing, but at the same time; everything. Brad Pitt's character is freaking awesome!! This film is very funny in a britishly smart way. It's a must buy!!

Surf Nazis Must Die
(1987)

This movie Sucks!
I Love Troma and most of their movies, but this one sucks!! I wouldn't give some one a bucket of horse p*** for this movie!!! Come on, I know this is TROMA, but something went terribly wrong. The acting wasn't too bad and the story wasn't that bad neither. It was just not a good movie. Saying its a bad movie is too good for this one. The best thing about the movie was the old black lady who kicked some serious butt. My advice to you is: If you like Troma movies and plan on liking them, then stay the hell away from this one. You'll thank me.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
(2001)

This movie was surprisely good!
Let me start off with, I don't know jack about Harry Potter! I went into this movie thinking, "It is just a kids movie, so what's the fuss all about?!" It wasn't what I expected. There were lots of kids in the theater, but this is not your everyday kid movie. This movie was pretty cool and if you don't know anything about Harry Potter, you will. This is a serious movie (no useless dancing or singing just because they can * cough * disney). Harry Potter is also long, so make sure you go to the restroom before it starts.
