Ferris Bueller's Day Off
(1986)

John Hughes only GOOD movie.
I'm suprised John Hughes actually made a FUNNY comedy. Weird Science was dumb and boring, Breakfast Club was slow, nothing interesting happened, Pretty In Pink completly sucked. Ferris Buellers Day Off is a real suprise! Not very realistic(especially what Mr. Rooney goes through to prove Ferris is skipping school)yeah, but who ever said movies were supposed to be about reality? It's about time he made something funny and GOOD and not unbearable like all his other movies.

FAVORITE SCENE: When Rooney says some very bad things to the man on the other end of the phone who he thinks is Ferris, then Ferris calls the secretary.

SubUrbia
(1996)

Unbearably Awful.
*** Warning: Spoilers! ***

"Suburbia" is an absolutely awful waste of film. The movie revolves around a bunch of 30 year old actors playing teenagers getting drunk and high outside of a Kwik-E-Mart where they harass the Pakistani clerk because of his skin color (they only think your a racist if you harass black people; I guess Hollywood loves making pigs out of young people). Then some guy who sings country songs from Hollywood comes down and they act like total jackasses in front of him and his girlfreind. Then the virgin girl gets drunk and dies on the roof of the convinience store. Then one of the characters threatens the clerk. And that's the end. I've seen better ends on donkeys (get it?).

The Exorcist
(1973)

Mad Funny!
I still can't help laughing when that Regan kid is screwing herself with a cross!!! What kind of person wouldn't friggin' howl when she barfs all over the priest! Of course, the movie itself was pretty boring. All that happens is her sitting in bed, swearing at some priest and stabbing herself with scissors (another funny scene). I do NOT recommend this film, because it sucks, it's boring, it's stupid, but if your depressed, throw away the Prozac and rent the Exorcist!

Jawbreaker
(1999)

Very boring.
"Jawbreaker" is a very boring film. Don't be fooled by the premise, a cheerleader chokes on a jawbreaker or something. Instead, the first 10 minutes are pretty much the only thing the movie has to do with the girl. The rest is our lovely Hollywood stereotype teenage movie. You know, nerdy girl gets makeover and becomes homecoming queen, everyone listens to most popular tunes, etc. It is all like that. Don't waste your time.

Talkin' Dirty After Dark
(1991)

Another one of my favorites.
Again, another favorite movie of mine. I first caught it on late night cable. Found out when it was on again. Taped it, and watched it 40 times since. An early preformance by Martin Lawrence, who was only in the equally great House Party 2 years before. It has some of the funniest lines I've ever heard, including the cook's thoughts on cannibalism.

Here's the plot: In an LA comedy club, Dukie loves Aretha, Dukie's wife Rubie Lin loves Terry, and Terry just wants 6 bucks for his phone bill.

Highly recommended.

Ginga tetsudô Three-Nine
(1979)

BEST ANIME EVER!
Yeah, it is. In fact, it's somewhere in my top 20 all time favorite movies. Number 15, I think. Anyways, I'm usually not one for plots, but I think plots work better in anime and RPG video games, (Final Fantasy 7, for example) and not movies. But this one has it all. Vivid drawings of planets, stars, an extremely well written screenplay. While this is not really for children, they can still watch it, it contains no graphic blood, guts and silicone. But I don't think they're going to understand it.

Fainaru fantajî VII
(1997)

One heck of a video game.
This is the best video game I've ever played. In my opinion, plots suck, but this was different. The plot was so complex, as well as the score, characters, etc. Cloud's development from a bitter mercenary to a caring individual who is willing to fight Sephiroth just astounded me.

The only thing I hate about it was that it took me over a year to win, with the Gameshark and the hintbook. Please try not to laugh.

Guinness World Records: Primetime
(1998)

THIS SHOW IS NASTY!!!
It's sick! When did famous world records transform from being amazing, unbelievable physical stunts performed by people to the world's largest brain tumor. Sometimes those ones are cool, like the world's fattest man, and what not. But brain tumors!? Come on! If I wanted to see that, I'd become a doctor!

BASEketball
(1998)

If you DON'T find this funny, you must have a mental block.
BASEKETBALL! One of the funniest movies of 1998!

First off, it's 100,000,000,000,000 times what that piece of c**p "Mafia!" was. This one is actually funny. If you don't fall to pieces when Trey Parker is slicing off his finger with wire cutters (it's a prostetic hand in the movie, too)

What I like best is that, instead of focusing on how the game was created, they just show it for 10 minutes or so, then jump to 5 years later when it's a big hit.

9 out of 10.

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer
(1998)

Hey, boys and girls, can you say "Torture"?
Ever since I saw the first one, I thought that a movie more pathetic couldn't exist. I was wrong.

Gather around, and I shall tell you a tale...

Sometime after the first was released, some illiterate grade-school students jotted down, with crayons and a doodle pad, the screenplay for the next film. Two hours later, the shooting script was complete. The film was stolen, because no person in their right mind would sell useful 35mm film for such a travesty. About 1 week later, the project is finished. Hype gathered up for a month, especially around my school, the film comes out. People ran out in terror, mostly after the main titles, as they see how bad it is.

Jane Austen's Mafia!
(1998)

If you DO find this funny, you must have a mental block.
God, this is so pathetic. They should have labeled it as drama, because I was crying at the end. It's all unrealistic and stupid. I mean, when young Vincenzo comes out of the donkey's...er...bottom, he's completely clean. Nothing! And the mere fact that they could hide him in there! And even if they could wouldn't he die from the smell?!

See BASEketball instead.

Daria
(1997)

Hilarious Show. And I thought I was going to hate it!
No, really, I did. I know the main character, Daria, from Beavis and Butt-Head, another great show. I was bored, I saw this. I loved it. The first one I saw was when everyone thought Quinn was a communist and aliens were about to invade. From that one on, I was hooked. I never thought I would like this show, because I just thought it to be a rip-off of B&B-H. But I love it now.

Scream
(1996)

What do you all see in it?
It's just another pathetic "horror" movie. Just more slashing, thrashing, slicing, dicing, etc. that's all been done to death.

Neve Cambell stars as our heroine. An extremly nerdy girl with extremly large breasts. She pretty much runs around screaming, scared she's going to die. And this is supposed to be a "parody", if I'm not mistaken.

I give it a 2, because the first 10 minutes were pretty good. The girl grabs a knife, runs out the back door, Drew Barrymore gets disembowled. Different from the rest of the movie.

Kids
(1995)

One word: BORING!!!
***** WARNING: SOME SPOILERS *****

WOW! I am amazed at the multitude of people who actually found this shocking. Stan Marsh was right, parents are more worried about what their kids are watching on TV than what's going on in their kids lives. After all the reviews I've read for "Kids", saying it is powerful and disturbing...well, it's all just a crock.

About the NC-17 rating the movie almost received. What was that? No, tell me. The only nudity I saw was in the last 2 minutes. I mean, they cover the bodies with their arms, they go "skinny dipping" in underwear(?). What I thought was really dumb was that you were so scared after this was only in one day. What was only in one day? Drinking and smoking? You call that disturbing? I call that a pretty boring day. Why didn't Harmony explore a year of these kids lives? You probably would have cried if it was the way it should have been.

And I really hate that you call that "un-realistic dialouge". I'm 14, and I talk like that. I can say all those things in one hour multiplied by a factor of 5. Shocked now?

God, I really wish parents would get up off their lazy butts and start talking to their kids before another member of my race dies from an STD again.

The Crow
(1994)

I think I can safely say that THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER MADE.
In fact, I put it at number 2 on my all-time favorite list.

Maybe the film doesn't have a plot. Yeah, so what? Plots suck. It's what happens that's important(You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?). Anyways, you all know what happens. Dead rock singer comes back to avenge the death of him and his wife. It's very simple. And when it's all that simple and is so darn good, why do you need a plot?

It really sucks that Brandon Lee died on the set, this movie really brought out his extraordinary acting talent, that he must have inherited from his father, Bruce. If he were alive today, he would have been a big star because of The Crow.

Clerks
(1994)

A word from one of the few who didn't like it.
Clerks. Directed by Kevin Smith. Made on a $27,000 budget. Yeah, so? I think that's the only reason why anybody liked this movie; because of the budget. It's the same with "El Mariachi". It's a horrible film, but you all love it because of the ultra-low budget! I mean, come on, all it is is 2 guys sitting in a grocery store talking all day. The dialouge is barely funny, the acting is pathetic. (though I can't really blame 'em, they were only his friends) I just wish, sometimes, people would love movies for what they are, regardless of country, budget, date etc.

Menace II Society
(1993)

One of the worst ghetto movies I've ever seen.
Frankly, this is a very racist and stereotypical film. It looks like a member of the KKK directed it, or someone who equally hates black people. ALL the characters ever do is steal cars, drink 40oz, say the words n**ga and f**k in every other sentence, and generally kill each other off. I was really angry when I found out the directors, Albert and Allen Hughes, were black, but spent most of thier life in the Michigan suburbs. I'm white, and I don't live in the projects, but I know that black people don't do these sort of things, only the ones in Hollywood do. If you want to see a real, very UNstereotypical ghetto movie, go rent yourself Boyz N The Hood.

I thought MC Eiht's end credit song was pretty good, though.

Boyz n the Hood
(1991)

Very refreshing, well done film.
This is a great change from all that stereotypical gangsta crap coming out of Hollywood. Instead of the usual white-hating Muslim who goes about the inner-city complaining, we get excellent preformances from very talented actors, well-written views on racial issues (Lawrence Fishburne's gentrification speech really said something) and a great script. While it is certainly not the best movie I've ever seen, it is an excellent movie and I highly recommend it.

House Party
(1990)

HOUSE PARTY!
HOUSE PARTY! Finally, a real party movie! Forget all that "Animal House" and Jennifer Love Hewitt teenybopper c**p. This is a movie about black teens dancing all night long to ol' skool, upsetting an old fart of a neighbor, the police, and Kid's(the main character)dad. Groove and Chill were hilarious, but John Witherspoon's character, Mr. Strickland, was the funniest. Too bad he only showed up for a few minutes. The sequels suck.

Alien
(1979)

Brilliant.
I just thought this was such a brilliant movie. I only first saw it last year, but I loved it. Both the Sci-Fi and the Horror work amazingly together. While it's not the scariest I've ever seen, it still is very scary. And I wonder why they took out all those graphic elements listed in the trivia section...

10 out of 10.

Taxi Driver
(1976)

Taxi Driver is Taxi Drivel
***** WARNING: CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS *****

Well, what can I say? Taxi Driver is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The other facts contributing to the facts that everyone seems to love this movie is absolutely mind-boggling.

First off, the film has absolutley no plot. It's a bunch of stuff that happens. The scenes have no meaning and are very boring. Second, Jodie Foster is credited right after Rob DeNiro. She appears in the movie for about 4 minutes total (literally). Third, the "extreme graphic violence" in the movie is nothing more than a little bit of ketchup and water in the last 5 minutes from a few bullets. And last, the score really, really sucks. Admit it, it does.

When I first heard about Taxi Driver, I was very excited. From all the reviews that said "It was the most realistic film ever made" or some such thing. Then I saw it and realized it was one of the most unrealistic films ever made, as well as awful. Mr. Scorcese, if you ever read this, my advice is: when you want to do a ghetto movie, let somebody who knows what he's talking about do it.

The Strawberry Statement
(1970)

Amazing film. It changed my life.
I don't know what you think, but this is the most disturbing film I've ever seen in my life. In fact, it's the only disturbing film I've ever seen in my life! I stayed awake in bed for hours thinking about it, thinking about the very horrific ending that I won't tell you what it is. I'm only 14, but this is one of the best movies I've ever seen. I especially liked the brilliant use of camera work.

The story focuses on the Columbia University communist riots in 1968 that I had no prior knowlege of before I saw this masterpiece.

10 out of 10.

Citizen Kane
(1941)

CITIZEN SHAME!
How could the AFI put this in the top 100, let alone at number one! Oh, wait, all the AFI's top 100 movies are really awful, with the exception of Pulp Fiction, which is one of my favorite movies.

I mean, I fell asleep in the first 20 minutes! Nothing happens, just a millionare who owns a few newspapers. The film details his life, which I was only recently notified that it was the life of William Hearst. Who wants to see that? It's a couple trillion matte paintings and a timeline spanning 100,000 years and yes, I am exaggerating quite a bit. Sorry, but it really seems like that! It's so boring!

And just last week, I saw RKO281, which was about the making of it, and a supremely more entertaining film. I heard Orson Welles say "It's all about the art! People go to the movies to see themselves!" What? If I want to see myself, I look in the mirror. If I want to see someone else, then in my own imagination, pretend I'm that person, I go see a movie.

All Over Me
(1997)

It's not as good as everyone says it is.
All Over Me is not a very good film. The acting is good, especially from Wilson Cruz and Leisha Hailey, but the script is badly written, nothing is resolved at the end, and Tara Subkoff's character is too much of a ditz.

5/10

Marie Baie des Anges
(1997)

One of a kind.
Marie Baie Des Anges is an absolutely beautiful film. It's one of a kind. The only other film ever made like it was Harmony Korine's Gummo. It's a montage of disturbing images. Though there really is no plot, the film has somewhat of a story. But when the film is this good who needs a plot? I admit in the last 10 minutes of the film I didn't know what was going on, but that makes it all the more interesting. I highly recommend this film.
