La rosa de Guadalupe
(2007)

Fails in every level, God can't even save this
I don't even know where to began.

Every time when I'm watching a movie or a show on TV, I don't really give a damn about the acting, I don't care how good it is, or how bad it is, I just want to be entertained, but the Acting in "The rose of Guadalupe" is the the worst acting I ever seen, I seen drama clubs perform better, Its like every Character shifts from a happy over lighted character, to an over reacting whiner, People don't talk like that, period.

Secondly, my parents & aunts notice that I watch to many horror films, Horror films that aren't main stream, but I can escape from, such as Martyrs, The Descent, Inside Rec, Audition, Etc, & every time my family tells me something like "Man, your wrong in the head, stop watching to much of that crap because you'll go crazy, instead watch something beautiful the rose of Guadalupe" & thats when I go off, I tell them Watching The Rose of Guadalupe is like Watching an Abortion, Blood does not make a bad movie, TERRIBLE writing does. Just because a story has a "& they lived happily ever after" ending, that does NOT Make it a good film or TV show, because thats totally unrealistic, & thats what this show does, even when this show has problems, like kidnapping someone, or killing someone, or even getting into fights, its totally unrealistic, especially how the characters talk, they are way to cocky, way to enthusiastic, way too fake, NO ONE in the world is as happy as the characters hear, or as stupid.

I am Catholic, I go to church, I read the bible, I did my first communion, I will always believe in the virgin Marry, BUT, I don't believe shes the clown that is shown in this program. There is no such thing as fairy tales, & thats what they do in this program, everything shown in this program is FAKE, not the situations but the way its acted, the way its going, its all fake, this is something kids should see because it fails in every level, it acts like a program for kids. In reality, YOU gotta do things on your own, if your daughter gets kidnapped, praying wont get her back, its good to pray to have hope to keep you going, but you need to do everything you can, on YOUR own, help yourself, because no one will magically bring her back to you.

Also, its very pathetic how they try to imitate modern situations, such as Homosexuals, online Chatting, kidnapping, pregnancy, even schools, & they try to do it there own way. I remember seeing an episode called "El Secreto" about a gay who was "Gay" & at the end, he has sex with a girl, & he "Magically" became straight.....Okay, whoever said Being gay was a choice is WRONG, being gay just means your attracted to the same sex, thats it, it never changes the same person you were before, even if that kid was gay & he slept with a girl, that does NOT magically turn him straight, he wouldn't even like it, because its not in his nature, thats who he is. Also, when they have online chats, they try to make it seem like FaceBook, like they check in on it, every 5 minutes, & act like they don't got a life, especially teens, as a teen myself, that is not how people "chat" especially online. Also, when they do the kidnappings, the kidnappers kidnap the victim right in the middle of the street, where its opened to everyone watching...Like WOW. Also, I saw this episode, where a girls best friend slept with her best friends dad, & she got pregnant, 2 days later, & her belly look like she was about 8 months pregnant, AND the girl still had her friends with her....That is NOT how it works, when a girl becomes pregnant, all her friends hate her because they think shes a Slu+. & The bad guys shown in here are just bad guys, like they were Born bad guys & they rough in jail, it never shows them having any sympathy or remorse, they just aren't important characters in this show.

Overrall, Religion is a big deal, & in this show, they just use it to give incorrect hope to viewers, & its Sick that people are actually buying it, this is just Justin Bieber for adults, quite possibly the worst show ever made, next to Glee, I hate how unreal & pathetic everything shown in here is.

Also whats with the rose? It never explains its origin, just that it comes from the virgin marry, & then its gone after the problems are solved. Is it suppose to be a good luck charm, because if it is, why doesn't Japan get one?

Friday the 13th
(1980)

Would this film get the same ratings if it was made TODAY?
I mean seriously, if you think about it, this movie is just another "I know what you did last summer" Series,You really don't care about the characters, you actually want them to die, & how can an 50 year old bag be the killer to these so called macho Teens?

Seriously, if this film was made TODAY would you all give it 6.3, despite of it being a "Horror classic". I actually would of given this film a 2/10 stars if it was made today. Seriously, I really don't think this cheap slasher is in the same league as Halloween, or A nightmare on elm street, where in those movies, people don't make stupid choices & "Split up" & they actually have a lot of drama into the killers, not just to "Avenge my son's death because the camp counselors weren't giving him enough attention,they were just getting busy"

The Descent
(2005)

The Best horror film of the Decade
This is my all time favorite horror film, This is the reason why I got into horror movies & why I am here.

Heres my Story: It started on a dark stormy night,my brother was taking forever to download world of Warcraft, & my mom just installed Direct TV, so we got free HBO channels,WWE Smackdown just finished so I turned to the HBO Channels to see what was on, & thats when I saw the title, The Descent,I missed the first 20 minutes of it,so I was at the middle. After I saw that film I never had my finger nails go so deep in my bed,this movie was Amazing.

This film has really inspired me, to love each day,& that the scariest things in life can come from what you can only imagine.

I just can't explain how much I really love this film, & Niel Marshall, the guy that made this film is very underrated, compare him to Eli Roth, they both made there film debut Niel started with Dog Soldiers which is my favorite werewolf movie, & Niel Started off with Cabin fever, which is the most disgusting piece of crap I ever seen. Hostel & this film came out the same year, yet hostel was like watching an abortion. Niel is one of those guys you just can have a bear & never stop talking for hours.

Have all horror films be directed by foreign directors, we want new horror not Torture porn

Vacancy
(2007)

Good attempt to create a New Horror classic, but Director was weak
I bought this film at my local Pawn shop, because I just saw it sitting by itself & I thought to myself, "Oh Joy,I Love Road Trip horror" so I had high expectations about this film.

It does have its suspense moments but at the end it could have used a good "thrill" Like ***Spoilers*** At the end That chick could have used her car pliers & sticked them on the hotel keepers knees & started her car... ***End Of Spoilers***

Gore is not a problem to me in some films, but I think thats what makes them memorable, like Alien,or The Descent, but I think it takes a good horror film not to use gore & still make it memorable, like "The Blair witch" or "The Exorcist" but this film was just stupid,I could of known that someone in the cast wanted to use Knife to stab someone in this film & the Director would of been like "No that is too violent" lets use harsh language instead. At least they could have made this film PG13,Because it isn't anything new I already seen in a horror movie,even my 10 year old cousins saw it with no problem.

Its hard to imagine that the Same Director that directed this film is going to direct, Predators, the 3th sequel to the Predator series. I don't know, I guess its cool if everyone wants to see ONE Predator die & EVERY Human Lives.

Don't watch it,Just Rent it

3.9/10

Alien Resurrection
(1997)

The VERY First film I ever saw
Alien Resurrection was the very first film I ever saw, I remember my dad came home one day, & he had in his hands:Titanic,Blade,Terminator 2 & Alien Resurrection. He told me Don't be scared its just a movie, & we watched Blade First, but I got a little bored, so I only saw the first 5 minutes of it & the last 3 minutes of blade.

Then At night some of my relatives came over & we saw Alien Resurrection, it scared the living crap out of me,I actually slept with a couple of stuffed animals for months because I just had that Alien Image in my head. Sigourney Weaver was the Hottest chick I ever laid eyes on,I couldn't even think of the name of this film that has been haunting me in all my elementary years, 8 years later I saw Aliens & I LOVED that film,Alien 3 was a bit boring, but still worth watching, Alien Scared me more than Alien Resurrection.

It kind of bothers me that people hate this film just because of the hybrid.

Alien=Horror Aliens=Action Alien 3=Suspense Alien Resurrection=Thriller

Each of the Aliens have there own unique settings & each of them feature a different Alien,Like on Alien it was 8 foot tall,Aliens Had a Queen,Alien3 had a runner & This movie had a Newborn, I thought the new born was the coolest thing I ever seen. Screw you haters, go make 70 million dollars & come up with your own Genius plot if you hate this one so much.

Love this film 9.1/10

How to Train Your Dragon
(2010)

Good "Pixar" Film
I went to go see this film with an open mind, & now I understand all the commotion about this film,I really like this film,I actually saw it twice with one of my friends, & he liked it also,I would have to consider it...Probably my Third favorite film of the Year(2010). Might see it again this week.

But Here are my 2 Problems I had with this film

#1. Some people said this film "Made the people from "Avatar" Jealous",That was one of my main reasons why I saw this film. Heres my concern,Avatar was made by a Genius name "James Cameron" who directed "The Terminator"(1984) while LIVING in his truck, & How to Train your Dragon was made by this guy who Thinks "Farts" are funny for kids, because he directed Shrek,I can't remember his name but this is like his third film,I think. But here's my point of view,Saying That How To Train your Dragon is better than Avatar is like The Second coming of God(Jesus Christ himself) while EVERYONE has there attention of the new "Justin Bieber" album. Don't get me wrong I like both films, but I think its unfair for that matter.

#2. I think I already seen the Storyline somewhere, I think it was one of the the Pixar or Dreamworks films, You know where the "Weak" guy is in this group & he's trying to be better for himself, he gets into a relationship, then a fight & then at the end he "Magically" comes out as a hero, I think that storyline has already been used once to many times, its not a major problem, but I just think its time to grow up & time to stop living in the past,Ya know.

Overral I give this film a 7.7/10

Avatar
(2009)

Message to the Haters/Hypocrites
Avatar is Yet Another Shining Example of why James Cameron is the most dominate Director the world has ever seen.

After more than a Decade people like Michael Bay, or Roland Emmerich have the Audacity to disrespect James Cameron & his fans, But worst of all, is all YOU people(Haters)

You Hypocrites seem to forget,You have a very short memory, forgetting who James Cameron is, or what he's done. Let ME remind you,James Cameron Single handedly Revolutionized Film Cinema. All The Sacrifice's James Made, Weather breaking his back for 8 months Straight, or weather getting disrespected by you idiots. James Inspired a generation of film making. Without James,there would be No "Quentin Tarantino", No "Peter Jackson" without matter there would be no more "Steven Spielberg films". So You Hating hypocrites are going to make James's life real long

If you stupid idiots were smart enough to pay attention to "The Hangover" then you Mindless Retards would of known that "The Hangover" was a "Rip off" from "Dude wheres my car" & Yet The Hangover was a comedy Masterpiece, so ANY Director can "Rip off" Elements from any movies, but it takes a genius to know how to use them in a storyline,So you can say Avatar was a rip off from Pocahontas but think of the difference, Avatar is a Masterpiece.

Man Its so funny how stupid people can be & create accounts on here just to waste there time & just tear This poor innocent man down. W-O-W There's people that are in there 40's & live with there moms but you haters are something else.

I am so grateful that I actually lived to see the greatest movie off all time, of you haters have a problem with Avatar DO SOMETHING,Don't just sit in front of you're computer all day bashing James Down,DO SOMETHING,Go To a film school, & make your own "Genius" films,Just DO SOMETHING,Freaking No Lifes.

Thank you James Cameron, for bringing back Your Wonderful films,You Inspired me to become a Movie Director, & I am Going to DO SOMETHING About it, not just waste my time bashing James Down, because I'm not a geeky nerd who's never kissed a girl, or dresses as Luke Skywalker & use a broom as a plastic lightsaber, Because I'm not the one that has no meaning in my life.

Paranormal Activity
(2007)

Doesn't live up to it's hype, but still a good thriller.
I liked this film, I speak for everyone when I say that I would of liked it more if it Wasn't overrated.

When I saw the Trailer I saw some comments, calling it "The Scariest movie of all time." when I was like no way. I also heard about the "Demand it" thing on its website, I thought this movie was going to be the return of the Exorcist,so I was really looking forward to it. The day it came out, was on my birthday, so I thought that was a little weired,I tried watching it but it was sold out. The next day everyone at my school was talking about how scary it was,they did mention some girl getting dragged, so I just pictured in my mind some girl getting dragged to a red hole, that was hell, so now I REALLY wanted to see it, that day I skipped my 4th period class to see it, & I was really disappointed,I was expecting something like the devil just coming out from the ground,or something "Paranormal" like a dog getting skinned, or something like that.

Overall this film could of been better if it Didn't consider itself the "Scariest horror film of all time" because thats basically just sticking the middle finger to Alien,The Shining, The Descent, The Six Sense, or even Night of the living dead.

Still a good movie, just Hated the hype for it

The Descent: Part 2
(2009)

The Best Horror Sequel Since ALIENS(1986)
After watching the Trailers & hearing about A new Director, & the Negative reviews I watched this film with an opened mind, thinking "Oh great, this is going to be like The Hills have Eyes 2,Wrong turn 2, or even Final Destination 2." Because I thought they were going to Start this movie off with different characters, & a different storyline, but after the first 5 minutes,I suddenly had a light of hope left in me.

I think its really cool that Some of the cast from the first one was in here, not many sequels do that.

The First one was the reason why I even got into horror films in the first place, Before I saw The Descent I wasn't much of a horror fan, actually my favorite Horror film was "When A Stranger calls" because I grew up watching Cheap slashers like The Friday The 13th saga, But After watching the Descent, I had no Idea what a scary film was, then I thought to myself, "God, are horror films like this" then I did my research & I really got into good horror films, like Aliens, The Thing, The Shining, Carrie, Etc. Then I thought to myself, "Man,WTF was I missing out."

I just Love this Sequel,even though I'll have to admit, It could have used a 1 minute trim at the end, but oh well, this movie was so good, It didn't even matter.

This film is REALLY good, but I'll have to warm you all,"WATCH IT WITH AN OPENED MIND,IT IS NOT THE RETURN OF THE SHINING SO QUIT ACTING LIKE IT"

Congrats, John Harris, on your Film debut!
