Misery and One Hour Photo are two of the best thriller genre that involves a stalker that doesn't know when to quit on an obsession. Now pitchure putting those two films together, directed by Fred Durst, starring John Travolta on a shoestring budget. You get The Fanatic.

An obsessed fan, that will stop at nothing, to get an autograph from an action star, which is an actual dick to everyone. The fan goes so far, he breaks in the actor's home, takes pics of him while he sleeps, posting them on social media, and later on ties him onto the bed. John Travolta threw his acting skills out the window when portraying his character, Moose. An unemployed guy that dresses as a English Bobby at night and stalks the actor by day. Devon Sawa from Idle Hands, Final Destination, and Wild America, plays The sci-fi/horror action star named Hunter Dunbar. A womanizer douchebag that crosses the line as well every time he encounters Moose.

There it is. I told you the whole movie. It's bonkers as it sounds. It's trash at it's finest! I have nothing else to say about it!

No doubt, this film will have a cult following along with the The Room, Samurai Cop, Cats, and many other bad movies that you and your friends will gather around watching while baked. Believe me.

The Witch is one film that chills you to the bone and will warp your mind while you watch in fear, confusion, and anxiety. There hasn't been a horror film like this in a very long time. Any horror buff will agree that this film is a valuable gem in an underestimated genre. I had very high expectations on this film before seeing it, and it bargains much more than I expected, in which is highly rare nowadays.

The film takes place many years before the Salem Witch trials and it starts off with a Puritan family leaving a plantation, due to disagreement beliefs. They find good size piece of land that is outside of a dark forest and built themselves a cabin and a farm. Once their newborn baby disappeared under the care of the post- adolescent daughter named Thomasin, things go downhill from there for the family. Crops of corn go bad, no luck on hunting food, and an ongoing grudge between Thomasin and her mother Katherine. Things get much worse when they sense evil is coming from the forest and the only thing that can save them are prayers and faith. But, for how long?

The first thing that brought to my attention is the dialogue. It is an awesome idea that director and writer, Robert Eggers,had wrote it and execute it this way. It feels like we're seeing a prequel of the Crucible (I never saw the movie, but I've read the book. Unsure if the Winona Ryder film followed the original writing). Next, the atmosphere felt very authentic. You can sense absolute no civilization around the family and the cool, damp, New England weather, even though it was filmed in Canada. Third, the acting is tremendous! Nothing was campy, cheesy, or off. They felt like legit pilgrims on the screen. The father, played by Ralph Ineson, is my personal favorite character in the movie. It felt like I was watching a young Donald Sutherland. And last, but not least, the fear factor. It's intense. This film shows no mercy to the victims and to the viewers. There aren't that many casual jump-scares like in your everyday horror flicks, but just gives you a psychological fear that makes you highly uncomfortable. The fear just gradually builds up throughout the plot rather than spurts of scares here and there. It feels like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. After watching the movie, it makes you just speechless.

If you a huge horror fan that wants something completely fresh without the cliché, The Witch is for you. After you watch it, you can't stop talking about it. It's that good. Robert Eggers did such a fantastic job and will be a household name of horror such as Stephen King, George A. Romero, Guillermo del Toro and Sam Raimi. this maybe too soon say this because we're in February, but I believe that this is the best horror movie of the year. I don't know if any upcoming horror films that'll be releasing this year can top The Witch.

When I was a child, I loved so many Disney movies. What am I saying? I STILL LOVE Disney movies! Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Mary Poppins, Bambi, all the timeless classics! The films I grew up on like Beauty and The Beast, Hercules, The Lion King, Toy Story, etc. they were great as well. However, this film, Into the Woods left me utterly disappointed and it should be a sin that it's labeled a Disney movie.

The plot, I got to admit, got me interested in the film. The most popular Grimm fairy tales are all combined into one big story. You got Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and Jack and The Beanstalk all together. Story goes is that a baker and his wife can't bear a child, so a witch tells them they are cursed by herself because what happened in the past between her and the baker's father. When the baker's father stole from her garden, including her magic beans, her appearance made her hideous looking. So to get even, she cursed his family and kidnaps the baker's sister, for he didn't know he had a sister in the first place. The witch demands them to gather up each object from the separate stories in order to break the spell and will rejoin his sister. By the way, IT'S A MUSICAL!

Sounds good on paper, but overall, it was pretty messy to me. Let's start off with the music. I shouldn't rant on saying, "there's too much singing," because it is a musical, of course. I do enjoy a few musicals myself. Little Shop of Horrors, Grease, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers. Heck, even a good amount of films in the Disney library are musicals! But how Into the Woods executed in the music pieces, made the film drag and annoying. Not many actors and actresses aren't even harmonizing to the music. It sounds more like them shouting and blaring out words along with the tempo, showing no feeling nor passion within the story of the song they're singing. The ONLY actress that was spot on every time she sung was Meryl Streep. Her performance was excellent. Emily Blunt did have one song that she did very good on, but that was it. TWO actresses out of the several did their job. Chris Pine's singing approach was a HUGE joke. I couldn't tell his singing performance is suppose to be serious or comical, but either way, it didn't work and it was disturbing.

But what got me very confused and disappointed on this movie are the plot holes. TOO MANY PLOT HOLES!!! As I can remember in the film, once the curse is broken, the baker's wife gets pregnant, the witch becomes beautiful again, and the baker can rejoin his long lost sister, which you find out later is Rapunzel. But did the baker ever meet Rapunzel? NO! THEY NEVER MEET! It looks like they could care less of each other! After the second giant destroyed the village, Rapunzel and her prince just gallops away into the darkness, not ever hearing from them again. To top it off, the witch lost her power for a brief moment for that scene.....WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?!?! Also, Jack's mother dies off screen. WHEN IN THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN?! Last time we saw her, she was yelling at the giant and got shoved away from a wimpy, tiny man and fell flat on her back on tall, soft grass. She looked dazed and dizzy, but that's it, no sign of her dying!!! Slaying the giant was very lazy writing. Couple of rocks hits the giant in the face, killing her. The rocks they threw were pebble size compared to the giant's head. Pathetic.

Overall, AVOID this movie. Even if you're a hard core Disney fan, AVOID THE MOVIE. Mediocre acting, lame songs, clearly unwatchable. Meryl Streep did her best on this film to make it look presentable, but her awesome talent couldn't save this failure of a film.

I Am Santa Claus is a must-see documentary that follows the lives of four men that portray Ole Saint Nick during the Christmas season. It also follows WWE Legend, Mick Foley, giving himself the challenge to fill in the boots and see if he has the ability and skill to become Santa Claus himself.

Each individual has different lives. One being near homeless and jobless, living with his daughter, trying to struggle to get back on his feet again and being Santa Claus during the month of December can be a little stressful to him, yet gets a brief feeling of joy. Another man is openly gay and proud of it, visits his long distant significant other as much as he can before the busy Holiday. Third individual's dream job by opening up a BBQ business. Fourth man is a real estate agent that wants to get a break into singing Holiday tunes.

As for Mick Foley, he makes a PERFECT Santa Claus! Just like in his wrestling career, his mission is keeping others entertained and happy. It's a big transition from being a Hardcore Legend to Santa Claus, but he pulls it off very well. It's almost like it's his calling and it's in his blood.

The documentary is very straight-forward. Lots of laughs, chuckles, and also emotional scenes, especially with first two "Santas," that I just mentioned. From beginning to the end of this film, my smile never left my face. I strongly recommend to watch this film for the Christmas Season. You won't regret it!

Ten years ago, an author name Joe R. Lansdale, wrote a short story that made the majority of readers appalled and scratched their heads about it's rubbish. The King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis Presley, fighting an ancient, demonic mummy in a nursing home. Later on, director of the Phantasm series, Don Coscarelli, made this bizarre story come to life and the movie made a cult following afterwards. The name of that movie was Bubba Ho-Tep. Think about it. If someone can make a story about an actual historic icon that we all know of, secretly facing off an evil fictional force, the sky's the limit.

This is when Seth Grahame-Smith comes in. Instead of a icon like Elvis, he uses the most American historic figure that changed and made our country's history. The sixteenth President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. Smith made a risky step to use Mr. Lincoln as a axe-wielding warrior slaying vampires! Vampires? YES! VAMPIRES! How crazy does that sound?

At first, I had my doubts by looking at the cover of Mr. Lincoln smirking at me with both hands behind his back, holding a blood-splattered axe in one hand and a severed vampire head in the other. Over the months, I've decided to give the book at chance because you know what they say, "Never judge a book by it's cover." What a marvelous read it was, from beginning to end! How Abe discovered vampires are real when he was young, how he befriends the mysterious Henry, and his primary mission to kill many vampires as he can, intertwining with actual historic events with Smith's never-ending imagination of Mr. Lincoln's feud with the undead beasts! Very exciting read and highly recommend it!

I bet you are saying at this point, "Hey! Wait asecond! You're supposed to be reviewing the movie, not the book. If you want to review the movie, go type away at barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com, buddy!" In fact, you are right. I had been carried away blabbering about the book. As for the movie, It was equally exciting as the novel!

There were a lot of doubts about the cast selection for the film before it's release. But in my opinion, Benjamin Walker portrayed Mr. Lincoln pretty darn well. Even the late scenes when Lincoln aged into his 50's, Walker was still in solid form. As for the rest of the cast members, very great performances all-around!

The story plot is almost the same as a book, but a lot of the story itself has changed drastically, just to make it an action-horror film rather than a movie with a lot of dialog. However, Seth Grahame-Smith wrote the screenplay for the film, making it feel that you're still in a safe zone if you've read the book before first. Sure, the story went off a slight different direction, but still keeping it's original touch of the core, thanks to Mr. Smith's clever writing.

The fight scenes were very epic and fascinating to watch! Yes, I disagree about things getting CGI'ed beyond it's limit, but how else can two actors fight during a stampede of horses or a handful of actors on a runaway train on a burning bridge? I do have to admit that I felt quite cheated on the scenes when vampires show their true form by CGI'ing up the whole face rather than protruding their fangs like True Blood. But overall, do I really care about it? Not really. I was getting too interested by the combat and the choreography of each intense scene.

In conclusion, If you are a fan of the book, like I am, you will enjoy the film, like I did. Be prepared for big changes of the story, but other than that, you won't be disappointed. If you never read the book but curious about the movie, give it a shot. It's full of frights, action, blood and gore, wound up in an interesting, yet amazing, storyline. I suggest reading the book first, but you can read it after watching the movie if you're craving for more adventure out of it's plot. 9/10

In case you haven't notice, I'm a HUGE SAW fan. I love all the films. What's very unique about them is their creativity and twisted storyline that keeps you constantly guessing and yet still surprises you at the very end of each film. Then SAW: The Video game comes along. The game takes place between the first and second film, you play as Detective Tapp and your mission is to survive and crack the case on who is Jigsaw. Strong storyline but weak, yet manageable, game play. One year later, SAW II: Flesh & Blood is here...

In Flesh & Blood, you play as Detective Tapp's son. You want to know why did Jigsaw has kidnap Tapp and what made Tapp to commit suicide. Then, you get too nosy so Jigsaw kidnaps you and you're pretty much doing the exact same thing that your own father was doing in the previous game. Pretty bland, isn't it?

The only positive thing I can say about Flesh & Blood is the graphics. I mentioned in my review of the first game that the graphics weren't that good but they surely did improve in this one. But, overall, even though I'm a huge SAW fan and it's hard for me to say this, but everything else of the game is pretty bad.

First off, the storyline. The story is poorly written and basically has no connection to any of the movies whatsoever. The reason that the first game's storyline was good because we get to know a lot more of Tapp and see how he really died. But adding in that he has a son in the second game just make no sense at all! What's the purpose of this character? Most of the traps that the strangers in the second game have no connection to him either...but they're more connected to Tapp! I haven't finished the game yet, but I read about the multiple endings on what happens to this guy in different scenarios and they were all God-awful no matter which one you pick.

Secondly, the game play. It's very awful. What you will discover that your true enemy is not Jigsaw, but the wooden balance beams that you must walk on to get across to another spot. The controls are ridiculous when it comes to these situations. On the XBOX 360 version, when you step to the beam, you'll see LT and RT constantly flashing on the screen. So you decide to press them when you see them flashing assuming it's what you should press to keep him balanced. But then you fall to your death instantly. Second try, fail. Third time, fail. Fourth, fail. You begin to ask yourself what is wrong with you. But it's not your fault, it's the games fault! If you look closely on the lower left of the screen, in small letters and an icon, you see the left thumb stick for balancing. So whats the LT and RT for you ask? To walk. LT for left foot RT for right foot. No joke. Combat got worse too. When you encounter an enemy, everything goes slow motion and you must press certain buttons on certain times. Like how God of War, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and Splatterhouse for example that you press certain buttons during epic cut scene fights. Imagine that but EVERY TIME you encounter an enemy plus lack of creativity. Very horrible and clearly unfinished for the game.

Third, the voice acting. It's worse than the first one. It even breaks my heart that Tobin Bell, Jigsaw himself, did a horrible job in this one! It sounds like he's wearing out, tired, and just not interested at all. Obviously, Mr. Bell's worst performance as an actor.

Overall, Flesh & Blood was a train wreck and a big let-down for us SAW fans. I recommend the average gamer to stay away from it at all costs. As for hardcore SAW fans, it's your decision. If you're not a big gamer, don't bother. If in your mind, Detective Tapp doesn't have a son, don't go near it. If you want to buy for your SAW collection, I don't see why not. Shoot, it's already hard to find where I am because in my opinion, video game and electronic stores know that they won't make much out of this game so they don't bother having it in stock. About having collections, I still have the Playstation game Evil Dead: Hail to the King and that's equally bad as this one but I still have it for my Evil Dead collection. So again, it's up to you about that.

Wanna play a game? Yes...anything but this one!

The short film, SAW, shows very clever filmmaking in the horror genre. There hasn't been anything clever like this short film for years.

David, an orderly of a hospital, has been kidnapped and faces his ultimate test. He must survive by killing another man that holds the key to his freedom. He wakes up, having a rusty contraption strapped to his face. Then, a mysterious puppet on the TV says if he doesn't remove the trap off his face in sixty seconds, his jaw will be ripped open.

Once this short gets green-lit into a major motion picture, this exact scene has been tweaked up and was used in the first SAW film. It's heart-pounding and fun to watch! I recommend this short film to not just to SAW fans, but to curious folks that want to take step into the world of horror. Great short film!

I've been a huge fan of the SAW series since the first one came out for being how original, chilling, and dramatic it was. When I heard that SAW 3D is the last one, I was bummed but yet satisfied of a conclusion of a thrilling giant of a series. Let's face it. If they made several more rather than finishing it now, the franchise would crash and burn for running out of ideas and getting too unreal. As for saying that, is feels right that SAW 3D should be the last of this tremendous horror story of revenge, redemption, rebirth, and revolution.

SAW 3D's story plot, in my opinion, overall, was pretty good. I was expecting of a more tighter story like the previous one, but it's still good as it is. It's great to see old characters of the past in this one but I didn't feel that much depth with the new characters. I would get to that later in this review. The 3D effects, in my humble opinion, wasn't that special. Sure, it exaggerates depth (foregrownd, middle-ground, background), but what's the purpose. Plus, there was only two or three scenes that had guts and other things "coming out" at you. Overall, don't expect anything great about it.

In this final chapter, Jigsaw's last orders for Jill is to kill Hoffman with the Reverse Bear Trap. Things don't go as planned when Hoffman cheated out of the trap, ripping his cheek open. In pain and rage, Hoffman begins his hunt for Jill. Jill goes to the police and specifically asks for Detective Gibson for safety. Gibson and Hoffman though had a rocky past when Gibson filed police brutality on Hoffman. Hoffman knew Jill went to him so this is perfect for Hoffman to get some payback.

During this battle, Jigsaw survivor, Bobby Dagen, gets all the popularity for writing an autobiography about his life-changing experience. The only problem is though that he's never been in a Jigsaw trap before. For being a complete liar and con-artist, he's been put to the test to see if he can be a true survivor by rescuing his friends and his wife.

Back to about the characters, It is great to see Cary Elwes return as Dr. Gordon! Lets be honest. Everybody was waiting for his return! But this version of Dr. Gordon was completely strange. Sure, your life won't be the same after you amputated your foot and cauterizing it with a hot pipe, but he acted TOO weird. He sounded more like Heath Ledger's Joker more than the doctor we knew from the very first film. Bobby Dagen was played by Sean Patrick Flanery. He's best known for being in the Boondock Saints films and the Young Indiana Jones show. I was quite surprised seeing him in a SAW film and he played Bobby fairly well. The times that I felt he feels out-of-place are the flashback scenes. I don't know why, but I felt he didn't put that much effort into his character in the flashback sequences. One character I just did not care about is Detective Gibson. To be honest, he felt very unimportant. The only reason why he's suppose to be important because he had a light grudge with Hoffman in the past. Secondly, the creators made the actor act very unprofessional as a cop, saying the word, crazy, five or six times in one sentence.

In conclusion, SAW 3D is awesome! Few flaws, but still great. It's obviously a must-see for SAW fans. Sure it's a bummer that SAW has reached it's end but it was well worth the ride that we've gotten from the clever creators of the past six years. GAME OVER.

Hands down, Machete is one exciting ride! Robert Rodriguez fans won't be disappointed. The acting was great, setting the mood of the film. The effects and action scenes were over-the-top awesome! To be honest, this film felt that this has more testosterone than recent action movie, The Expendables, which I believe nobody have seen that coming!

Danny Trejo plays Machete. Worked as a fed in Mexico few years ago. But in the present time, he's an illegal alien tryng to make a living in Texas doing several jobs here and there. Until one day, a millionaire name Booth (Jeff Fahey) gives him a reward of $150,000 to assassinate the Senator of Texas (Robert De Niro). When Machete had the chance to take Senator McLaughlin down, he had been double-crossed. Thats when things get wild!

In conclusion, it is one very entertaining film. Sure, there are a few dull/cheesy scenes like Alba's "Border crossed us!" quote and Lindsay Lohan playing as herself but easily forgiven because the majority of this flick is constant action and comedy! Machete is a must-see film to conclude the summer blockbusters of 2010.

SAW VI is one hell of a thrill-ride for us SAW fans. Possibly the best one yet! Everything was tight and 100% flawless. The acting, the storyline, props, special effects, everything!

After the death of Agent Strahm, Detective Hoffman is still on the loose doing Jigsaw's duties. But does he know more than he think he does? After the death of John Kramer, Jill Tuck, John's wife, retrieves a box of notes for the next six unlucky victims including William, John's health insurance agent, in Jigsaw's reign of terror. Will Jigsaw's work continue or will it crumble by the hands of Detective Hoffman?

Overall, the movie is just great! So many twist and turns, it'll make your head spin. Plenty of questions have been answered about the previous films and plenty of new cliffhangers for the next film. In conclusion, SAW VI is triumphant and flawless comparing it to III, IV, and V. It's a must-see for all SAW fans. Let the games begin!!!

SAW: The Game is survival horror video game based off the SAW franchise. As a big fan of the SAW series, the storyline and plot were pretty well written but the rest of the game was just a bit sloppy.

You play as Detective Tapp from the first SAW film. We all thought he died in the movie by Zep shooting him near the end of the film but we were all wrong. Jigsaw kidnaps him and saves his life. Jigsaw told Detective Tapp that after taking the bullet out of his body, he put in a key in him. This key is a way out of where Tapp and other Jigsaw's victims were currently in which is an abandon asylum. As Detective Tapp, your mission is to survive from maniacs that wants to kill you for the key, survive from Jigsaw's traps, rescuing important characters of the story, solve multiple puzzles, and try to crack the case on who is Jigsaw.

The game's story is pretty cool. You kind of get to know more a little of Jigsaw, witness characters from other SAW films and some just made for the game, and you actually make your own choice at the end of what you really want after what you experienced through the twisted world of the game. Those are the good things about the game.

The bad things about the game is mostly the graphics. The graphics of the Xbox360 version is got to be the worst graphics I've ever seen in this console. There's a handful of glitches and the smoothing texture is very delayed if you start from a checkpoint or skipping a cut-scene. The voice acting is a little bit strange. The only voice acting that is really good is Tobin Bell's work (Jigsaw). Everybody else felt like they're amateurs in acting. The controls are a bit strange as well. Later on in the game, you can make explosive traps with household products. You have them equipped but I haven't had a clue on how to plant the trap on the ground until near the end of the game that I can just simply press RT while equipped. It's like you have dementia and you have to figure it out yourself on how to use the controls in the game. If I were the makers of this game, I could have continue working and tweaking things up and plant the release date a month after SAW VI's release date.

Overall, decent game but sloppy. You just have to get use to it. It's a must-have for SAW fans but for regular horror or video game buffs, It's safe to skip this one.

The movie, Paranormal Activity, is about a boyfriend and a girlfriend, Katie and Micah, taking footage around the house studying some...paranormal activity! But what makes this movie a lot more interesting is that this thing that is haunting poor Katie has been stalking her since she was a child. But according to a psychic, this isn't an ordinary ghost. It's a demon. Ooooohhhh now we're getting somewhere!

Parnormal Activity has its few jumps and shocking scenes but most of the film had.....comedy? What I mean is that the character Micah is not afraid of the demon and constantly mocks it in the most idiotic ways. If Micah was more serious and frightened like his girlfriend, Katie, it could have been better. In my opinion, he pretty much killed the movie.

For the jump scenes, it kind of feels that you know it's coming because before it comes, you'll hear rumbles and thumps. If they took those two sound effects out and just let the "jump" happened in full volume, I would have crapped my pants. Sadly none of the "jump" scenes didn't scare me.

The scenes that kind of freaked me out this most is when Katie gets out of the bed in the middle of the night and just stares at Micah for hours. To me, that is a little bit freaky. But everything else is all mild.

Overall, the movie is good but not scary enough. Everybody is saying "its the new Blair Witch Project," but to me, this movie didn't top the Blair Witch. To be honest, I jumped more from Drag Me to Hell than Paranormal Activity. My advice, go and watch the movie, enjoy it, but I'm warning you that you WILL sleep like baby after you watch this film.

I'm a kind of guy that is not into the mushy, romance, chick-flick stuff like "You've Got Mail", "The Lake House", "The Notebook", etc. The only chick-flick that I can sit through was "What Women Want" With Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt. I thought that move was pretty good! Then "The Ugly Truth" came along and while I was watching the trailer of this film I thought to myself, "Is this the next funniest chick-flick of 2009?"

The film is about a TV news producer, name Abby (Katherine Heigel), that is juggling with her career and her personal sex life but both in jeopardy because of her uptight, strict personality. The only person that can help her, but despises him, is a raunchy TV personality host name Mike Chadway (King Leonidas...Whoops! I mean Gerad Butler). Mike teaches Abby what guys want in a girl inside and out in order to win her "Mr. Right" and that the same time, he keeps the ratings up in her TV program. Then, the raunchy comedy continues...

Back to asking myself the previous question, "Is this the next funniest chick-flick of 2009?" Well my answer is YES! This movie will make you laugh and laugh and laugh! Mostly, all the crude sex jokes that you heard in your life is all crammed into this film and you'll just keep begging for more. It's cute, humorous, wacky, and most-of-all fun! Their hasn't been a chick-flick like this since "What Women Want" in my opinion. My advice, bring your boyfriend/girlfriend to this one and he/she won't regret it!

"Guitar Hero Encore: Rock The 80's" (wow just saying the name of this "GH" gave me a headache), must be the worst Guitar Hero game ever made. I'm not really saying that it is awful, but just the makers' of this game's effort made me sick to my stomach. No doubt about it that the play-list is pretty good, but the graphics in this game are just very poor. All the game is, is "Guitar Hero II" but replaced with 80's music. Also the characters' wardrobe were changed to flamboyant, neon-glowing, clothes. as for the Venues, not changed at all. Any new characters? Nope, not one. I heard that this was Harmonix last game with Activision and Red Octane before they went to the "Rock Band" franchise. All I have to say about Harmonix is, "Good-bye and don't come back!" I know that I always said I want Graveyard BBQ in another GH game but I am very happy that they weren't in this game.

Overall, save your money by just watching the game play on YouTube.

Guitar Hero Metallica is a must-have for all music gamers and especially hardcore Metallica fans (like myself). It's a lot of fun to play no doubt about it. This game got everything dead-on. The style, the playability, loads of extra features, and most importantly, a very good selection of songs that Guitar Hero hasn't been doing the past few years. Don't get me wrong. There are good songs in the past Guitar Hero games but not enough to soothe the rock/metal beast within the soul of a rocker. However, Guitar Hero Metallica makes my metal beast very satisfied!

In Career mode, you began as the band, Metallica, marching into the sold-out arena swarm with loud applause and "Ectasy of Gold" blaring from every corner of the packed place and you begin playing "For Whom the Bell Tolls." In my opinion, this introduction is just simply fantastic! After the intro, the game begins starting with you, a member of a local band, that would like to go on tour with Metallica. Then the fun begins!

There are many great Metallica songs from "Kill'em All" to "Death Magnetic." All the classics! Also, the play list has over 20 guest acts including, Lynard Skynard, Mastadon, Judas Priest, Queen, Foo Fighters, Bob Segar, and many more.

Unlike "Guitar Hero Aerosmith", a pretty good music game but not satisfying to others, you can play more than one instrument. Similar to the previous "GH" game, "Guitar Hero World Tour", you can also perform as a guitarist, bassist, a vocalist, or a drummer. The drums are lots of fun but very challenging, There's even an extra difficulty for the drum set called "Expert+" and I got two words for the person that wants to give a go on that difficulty. Good Luck.

I also like how the list of songs in the Career mode are laid out. Just like the old "GH" games. Unlike, "World Tour" playing 3 or 4 songs in a row basically without breaks.

The only flaw about this game that I did notice, is in the Photo Gallery section located in the Bonus Materials. It seems there isn't a single photo of either Cliff Burton or Jason Newsted (former bassists of Metallica). Sure they do mention them in the "Metallifacts" feature but it just felt like they were just cropped out or erased from existence in the photo gallery. Secondly (here comes the inside-joke from the other "GH" bulletins that i posted), where's Graveyard BBQ!? They deserve it being on another "GH" game! Come on!

Overall, Guitar Hero Metallica is must-have for the young and old! Get it or Lars Ulrich will get you. Yeah you over there! Stop downloading "Enter Sandman"! Oh well. Anyways, Rock on!!!

This movie, without a doubt, ROCKED! This is gotta be Mr. Bruce Campbell's best movie he directed. So many inside jokes only a die-hard Campbell would understand the humor. As for the non die-hard fans, they'll also would get a kick out of this movie too in my opinion. It is too hard, almost impossible, to remove your smile off your face while watching this hilarious flick!

Bruce Campbell, a pioneer of B-movies, has been gone to the lowest of lows being in horrible straight-to-DVD flicks like Cave Alien and Cave Alien 2. He lives alone in his gross trailer with is dog, Samandrob, and has bottles of alcohol for his meals. Until one night, in a small redneck town name Goldlick, a group of teenagers accidentally unleashed a Chinese demon named Guan-De. They're only hope for survival is they need a hero. But who? You guessed it! Bruce Campbell!

As I said before, This movie kicks-ass and hilarious throughout! You will, laugh, laugh, and laugh! Bruce Campbell is a pure genius making a film like this! I can't wait for the DVD release!

Oh yeah...The reason why this is second-best movie of 2008, because The Dark Knight is 2008's best movie in my opinion. But which movie will you think I'll be watching more when it comes to DVD????

Just like the last one, this one won't let you down! SAW V delivers like never before! Good amount of gore and good amount of the story line, and a handful of more puzzle pieces for the NEXT SAW!!!!! I love it!

Detective Hoffman, chief of police, is the new Jigsaw maniac. But in order to continue his reign of terror, he must stop Lieutent Straham's proof that Hoffman's a murderer. While Hoffman struggles to protect his secret, he has himself 5 victims in his little game that must survive their mayhem.

I made a comment about last year's SAW saying its possibly the best one. But I am DEAD wrong! THIS one's the best so far! Storyline's amazing, the special effects are incredible, and the twisted ending wants you to be begging for more SAW. SAW fans will love this one! Let the Game begin!

In my opinion, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is pretty decent. The graphics are nice, awesome cut-scenes of the guys, and a pretty damn good track list (Well obviously! it's AEROSMITH!). But the game is somewhat lacking the challenge to the player. I shouldn't even said that because I'm not a crazy GH expert but it just felt funny to me when I was playing through the Hard difficulty. It just wasn't that....challenging to me. Expert is but the Hard level I went through it without breaking a sweat. Anyways, I recommend it for both GH fans and Aerosmith fans. And one more thing....WHERE'S GRAVEYARD BBQ?!?!? (haha! You gotta check out my other GH comments to understand) ROCK ON, HEROES!

The subject says it all! In my book, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is the mother of all Guitar Hero games! It has everything what GH fans were asking for. The graphics look amazing, a lot of new features including the "note streak counter" and "Boss Battles", but most of all, a WIDE range of Rock'n'Roll! Some tracks are remade but most of them are true original tracks! Many popular rock bands including, The Rolling Stones, Poison, Black Sabbath, Scorpions, Guns n Roses, and my all time favorite band, METALLICA!!! But what is still bumming me is no Graveyard BBQ! But now the technology that video games had, possibly we will download new BBQ tracks sooner or later on our Xbox 360s or our PS3's. To make a long story short, true Guitar Hero Fans won't be disappointed because this version Guitar Hero will rock your socks off! ROCK ON!

I am a huge Guitar Hero fan and I had my doubts when Rock Band was mentioned months ago up until the day it came out. My friend and I bought the game, tried it out, and it's pretty damn fun! We also discovered that you can use the Guitar Hero Controller as a guitar and/or bass which is really awesome. I love the singing and the drums the most in the game. The bass is a little bit too easy even on expert difficulty. The singing is a little bit tricky if you never heard the song before. The drums are easy to install and fun and sometimes annoying to play. The only thing i dislike is when somebody wants to select something in the menus, the other person wants to select something else and everyone causes a fight on what song to play next. It is a great gift for the holidays and fun for all ages. But if you don't want to have empty pockets, i prefer to buy Guitar Hero 3 but if you got plenty of cash or gift cards, go out there and get Rock Band before they're gone! ROCK ON!

My all-time favorite in the series is the first one because for being original. This one on the other hand, delivers like never before! This one blows away the last two completely. In my opinion, this is the best one yet and shouldn't be missed!

Jigsaw's dead. But is the game over? Hardly. Jigsaw's reign still continues beyond the grave. His last transmission (that we know of), was in a tape hidden in his stomach saying, "...the game had just begun."

This movie is hard to summarize because whatever you say about this movie is a spoiler all the way! I guess that's good marketing when one person would say to another, "Dude! I just watched SAW IV and you have to watch it! I can't talk a lot about it because I'm afraid I might ruin it. Watch it yourself!" All I can say is there's a lot of familiar faces in this one from the previous movie and the ending will totally blow you away! It took me awhile to understand what just happened and it made total sense to me under 5 minutes. Certain gruesome tasks in the movie have been toned down a bit which levels the violence and the storyline pretty well just like the first one rather than the third one with all the gross things happening that makes you wanna barf and a mindless plot that nobody would really care about at the same time. This movie is not a disappointment at all. It's a must-see for all SAW fans!

When I watched SAW II, I said to myself, "This could've been better." But after watching SAW III, I changed my mind about that. SAW III was mediocre but not the best one in the series so far. The only time it felt like the original SAW feeling is the first 20 minutes of the movie. After that, it felt the movie landed into somebody else's hands. The gore in this one was amazing and brutal but flashing all that blood to me did not cut it for me. The flashbacks were cool, but the current events were just bland. I did not like John's two new victims at all because they didn't feel like they were connected into the story. The acting was decent and the actress, Shawnee Smith played Amanda, was incredibly hot in this one. I notice there were a lot of mini cliffhangers throughout the movie which is a sign for the fourth one which i totally liked. But what turned me off the most was the ending. I'm not going to spoil it for you but lets put it this way. My reaction to the first ending: "Whoa! OMG! I didn't see that coming!" My reaction to the second ending: "Really?! Damn! I never thought of that!" My reaction to the third ending: "WHAT?!?!? C'mon!!! You gotta be kidding me!!!!"

See? So anyways, if you are a fan of the Saw movies, it's OK to see it. It's not gonna kill you or anything...or will it?

The first SAW amazed me with the writers' clever ideas but SAW II felt a lot different from the first one. I mean, it's a good sequel, but it feels like there's something missing in this one...

SAW II starts off by John "Jigsaw" Kramer (Bell) testing Detective Matthews (Wahlberg) by having a conversation face to face when his son is in one of Jigsaw's games along with other victims. And somehow, all these players, including Matthews, have something in common that they will discover near the end of their journey. Its just a matter of time who will survive longest to find the missing puzzle piece of this sick game.

I think what bothered me the most in this movie could be because too many people are involved in the new game which lead me into confusion and never gave a lot of background from each character. But as I said before, It's a pretty good movie. The ending has a twist as usual and a pretty cool one it is. Let's just say I never "saw" it coming haha. Anyways, SAW II is just a tiny bit weak BUT not a disappointment. Just enjoy the ride!

SAW is a must-see for horror buffs all over the world. This film creates a new dimension of horror with a great eerie storyline and twists and turns throughout.

It begins in an old bathroom. Two men chained to pipes by their ankles and what is laying on the center of the floor in front of them is a bloody body holding a gun in one hand, a tape recorder in the other. Both men have tapes in there pockets and shared the recorder to hear there commands by what the newspapers call him, "Jigsaw." Then their nightmare begins by unraveling the secrets from each man from Jigsaw's twisted game. The only way out is one man must die and the other must escape the bathroom by amputating his ankle.

I've seen SAW when came out on DVD and I wasn't expecting a movie like this! It blew me away from the very beginning to the very twisted end! A must-watch...If you dare.

If you ever feel like watching a movie for just pure fun and just taking a step out of serious stuff in most movies, this is the movie you must see. The 80's cheese makes this movie so funny!

Its all about a baby boy, nicknamed Bobo, that has been banished by his older brotherinto the wilderness and then gets raised by wolves.28 years later a scientist goes into the woods to study a pack of wolves until she stumble upon the human wolf. Bringing him back to civilization, she teaches Bobo to read, talk, walk, and write his name in the favor for Bobo's mischievous brother to sign some papers to have $30,000,000 from their late father's savings into his own money instead of splitting the money down the middle. And thats where the wackiness begins. Notice the 80's story plot?

I'm not a man that is into mindless movies like Dude Where's My Car?, Bill & Ted Excellent Adventure, or Harold and Kumar Goes to White Castle for examples. But this movie, which somewhat fits into this category, makes me never get tired of watching it. It's just pure fun! 7/10
