Terminator: Dark Fate
(2019)

Rehashed Storyline, nothing new.
This is pretty much the idea of a film crew who decide to waste John connor in the opening and replace him with a bunch of women besides Arnold. Then Sarah must protect a useless young girl to fill the John Connor spot from part 2. Seriously he dies in the first couple of minutes what's the point of bothering with this one if it doesn't even really connect to part 2? John Connor is suppose to be the one to prevent Judgement day not some useless little girl. This is proof of a studio who is too desperate for money that they start to get sloppy and forget who the essential characters are to create the overall image. Honestly, why should I care about some kid other than John? John was the only other person aside from sarah connor who could kill the terminators. Man, whoever wrote this should feel ashamed of themselves and be 'Terminated' by the studio that sponsored this pile of puke.

Men in Black: International
(2019)

Not one redeeming factor
Everything is so damaging to the original. Every single character feels like they don't belong in an MIB movie and instead are there just to bother the viewer. Meanwhile with Will Smith who was cool led the viewer in first a horror/sci fi, then a comedy, and then a drama. This film feels like it doesn't know what it wants to be. It's a blend between a children's comedy with a little bit of sci fi in there. Overall the film just doesn't hold up well at all.

Creed II
(2018)

Completely unnecessary.
This film is completely unnecessary just like the first movie. Adonis Creed is such a lame, cocky, unlikable character. In every fight scene he gives off that "Jerkface" vibe. I mean even the opponents in the first creed are rediculous and unmemorable. Everytime I saw the first ones trailer I was like, "Why did you make such a cash grab of a series?" It was basically a cloned tumor leaching off the success of the brilliantly written Rocky series. It wanted to be Rocky so bad but it sucked!

Then I heard about this sequel and I couldn't help but feel that this movie could of worked if they presented it in a way as if Adonis was going to join his father Apollo's side six feet under. I think that maybe if they built Drago's son up like they did in Rocky IV they would of had the suspence they needed to pull it off. However, Drago's son doesn't have too much build up because this film is focused more on Rocky and Drago's past. These two stole the show even if they weren't trying to.

The ups for this film: The old school cast reunites. Other than that everything is overdone and honestly makes me rather watch Rocky IV again.

Coco
(2017)

What is with the high rating?
All I have to say is the music was dreadfully out of tune, the concept is pretty new although ridiculous about a kid running away from the land of the living to meet up with his great ancestor who was a beloved musician. Seems cool sounding at first but the movie is so dull and for me unentertaining. This was one of the most hardest to sit still through animated movies I have ever seen. I was so unpleased with the unsatisfying taste I still have in my mouth from watching this. All I can say is I do like the color scheme this movie was showing off but altogether visuals aren't everything, you have to have a likable cast and somebody who can actually sing to back it up, this film has neither. Overall with the high rating I am astounded. The movie only had a cool story and interesting visuals which deserve a rating of no higher than a four which is my rating.

Halloween
(2018)

I am SO DISAPPOINTED! Whoever made this should be ashamed.
What a terrible excuse of a movie that was built to be the next big thing to revive the franchise. What I saw was a shameless generic cash-grab of a sequel. For one you can't connect with anybody because they aren't built up enough to even be considered relatable or a human being. The people are so dull and boring and don't do squat. Laurie isn't even worth knowing anymore because her character has no business being around since she only bumps heads with him when her family is coincidentally being attacked. The kills are boring and honestly don't even look well done more rushed and stupid. Michael is now a clown of a serial killer who isn't even smart like he was in the original one where he waited until everybody least expected it. This film destroys everything that was once creative, scary, and intellectually shot and only aims for the money. I wish there was a zero rating cause that's what this generic, dated, rushed, overhyped, overdone, pile of crap.

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
(1988)

This was so awful.
Halloween 4 was so corny and was terrible in every aspect. Let's see the kills were lame and so unrealistic (Impaling a girl with a gun, digging his nail into the guys head, lifting and tossing a guy about twenty feet into an electrical outlet, squeezing a guy's neck to death, the truck massacre yet nobody's able to fight back). The ending was so stupid how for no reason Jamie kills her mother, almost as if Michael was a demon and his spirit transferred to the girl. Bringing back Doctor Loomis from the dead but also killing off Jamie Lee Curtis's character. The music didn't capture the scary essense of the original John carpenter's cover. Michael Myers performance was very boring and honestly not at all scary. Overall the fourth was one of the worst slasher movie sequels I think I have ever seen.

The Shining
(1980)

Hated it then enjoyed it!
Reviewing this movie I must start off by saying I was at first disappointed with the way the film bares little resemblance to the book. One of which being how the movie starts off with Jack already interviewing for the job at the hotel. We know very little about this character when he's first shown and don't have any idea about his background. At least with the story we get an opening in which we are introduced to Jack who has a much more clearer background and is more believable as a character than the one shown in the film. One can just look at Jack Nicholson's character in the film and know right off the bat that he looks like a trouble maker and everything he says during the interview is a clear indication that he is in fact already full of evil energy. In the book the character of Jack is painted as a regular-looking guy who is a writer and actually admits that he accidently harmed Danny when he was drunk as in the movie Wendy admits to the doctor that Jack was drunk and harmed Danny. This really made it seem as if Jack wasn't really sorry for what he did as in the book he admitted that he did wrong. The wolf-mask wearing man in the hotel made sense in the book but in the movie this character is wasted and only has about 5 or 10 seconds on screen in this movie. Another thing that separated the film from the novel was how Jack dies in the end. In the end of the book he is blown up in the boiler room as in the movie he freezes to death when chasing Danny in the maze. Also in the book there is no mention of a hedge maze only animal bush-sculptures coming to life to attack Danny when he's outside. Now that I pointed out the differences I will say that the tv-series version of The Shining was really dreadfully attempted even though it does fulfill the version of the novel more accurately. The tv-series is so long and boring, and really drawn out. There's literally very little scares that aren't clichéd or hilariously bad. I could point out all of the scary scenes that aren't even scary but again this review is for Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. So Stanley Kubrick's version does offer a lot of great scenery namely the hedge maze when it snows and the Native-themed paintings and flooring. The giant structure of the hotel makes it's viewers' focus search around the entire room with every far away shot of the characters walking in view. Like how Danny rides his back into view of the twin sisters. The viewer knows something bad was going to happen it was just the timing that took us all by surprise. Making it one of the most effective jump scares in this movie. I'll admit from this scene onwards into the movie is where the movie builds excitement and really leaves the audience in the driver's seat. The music is another thing to note that adds to the movie's enjoyment. Overall, it's far from the book version but it really has impacted the fans views over which is better and I have to admit I enjoyed the movie over the book much like films such as Jaws and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. If you're looking for a film that matches the book's perception on what makes the hotel scary you should at least consider watching this movie to compare with the book's version. This movie shows no mercy when it comes to absolutely fill the viewer with it's subliminal messages, ascension into madness, and it's cycle of violence. The film deserves at least an 8 rating because it completely squashed the book's light-hearted version and made it much more scary.

Ditch
(2010)

Decent Movie
The whole story is about a guy who is unhappy with life and changes really control the way he thinks and acts. My uncle has a cameo as the true die-hard horror fan and comedic Italian man, Jerry Ferachi. My Uncle Louie was actually suppose to have a bigger role but his ex didn't agree with that so much. I saw this back in 2010 and I still will forever remember it as one of the funniest movies I saw that year. It was way funnier than Cop Out and had a better concept than Death at a Funeral. This movie really doesn't have the sexual humor it focuses more on the script itself. It's kind of like the Dumb and Dumber of it's time. Although, it really does have a easy to understand and meaningful message, it really is just something to laugh at. It was filmed somewhere in Connecticut so many of you haven't seen or heard of it but if you do have the chance just give it a try. And thank you Uncle Louie for bringing a good performance to the screen. So overall I give the film a solid 6 out of 10.

WWE Velocity
(2002)

Great Jobber Showdown
Looking back, it's funny to think that this show was once the bright light of my childhood growing up. I collected action figures, shirts, magazines, and even photographs of each individual wrestler. My favorites of this show were: Vito, Sho Funaki, Scotty Too Hotty, and Paul London. I have to admit this though the wrestlers who made this roster were mainly used as jobbers on Smackdown! Here though it made for an intense battle among these jobbers where only one can win. I really miss this show more than Smackdown! and Raw because this show was more interestingly scheduled and it seemed more unexpected than from Smackdown! where the same people keep winning without ever letting the jobber or bad guy pick up a hard fought victory. I was so saddened when this show just stopped being run and I think they should bring it back so the jobbers of Smackdown and Raw can have a battle against each other one more time! Overall is this Show good? Yeah and I miss it more than Smackdown! and Raw. Was it worth watching? Yeah, I really miss these older wrestlers and this show by itself. Who would you recommend it to? Anybody who likes non-realistic but even more interesting battles than Smackdown! and Raw. Also anybody who would like to see jobbers go at it one more time! Rating: 8 out of 10.

WWE Monday Night RAW
(1993)

Good but not as great as it used to be!
Looking back, it's funny to think that this show was once the bright light of my childhood growing up. I collected action figures, shirts, magazines, and even photographs of each individual wrestler. My favorites were Kane, Triple H, Carlito, Goldust, Chris Masters, Mickie James, and Ric Flair. However a lot of these wrestlers are no longer part of the roster it kills me to think about it. I have to say this show did have an interesting roster from 1999 till about 2006. Ever since I realized these wrestlers were being underused and even misused I decided to turn my back on it and haven't watched a full match in exactly 10 years. Luckily, I still have the videos games and can always remember these wrestlers from them. Anyway, I noticed though when I did see a newer set of matches the moves and acting have become a lot sloppier I just can't bear watching it anymore.

Overall is this Show good? Yeah, from 1993-2006. Was it worth watching? Yeah, I really miss older wrestlers. Who would you recommend it to? Anybody who likes non-realistic but interesting battles. Rating: 6 out of 10.

WWE SmackDown
(1999)

Good but not as great as it used to be!
Looking back, it's funny to think that this show was once the bright light of my childhood growing up. I collected action figures, shirts, magazines, and even photographs of each individual wrestler. My favorites were Rey Mysterio, Batista, Undertaker, Chris Benoit, Sho Funaki, Scotty Too Hotty, and even The Boogeyman. However a lot of these wrestlers are no longer part of the roster it kills me to think about it. I have to say this show did have an interesting roster from 1999 till about 2007. Ever since I realized these wrestlers were being underused and even misused I decided to turn my back on it and haven't watched a full match in almost 10 years. Luckily, I still have the videos games and can always remember these wrestlers from them. Anyway, I noticed though when I did see a newer set of matches the moves and acting have become a lot sloppier I just can't bear watching it anymore.

Overall is this Show good? Yeah, from 1999-2007. Was it worth watching? Yeah, I really miss older wrestlers. Who would you recommend it to? Anybody who likes non-realistic but interesting battles. Rating: 6 out of 10.

Focus
(2015)

Kind of a confusing movie.
I would like to start this review by saying that I was honestly excited about this movie. Will Smith and Margot Robbie play two thieves who can pickpocket anybody without them knowing. Sounds interesting right? Well first of all this isn't even that big of the story. SPOILER ALERT AHEAD!

After making money they decide to have a betting game against BD Wong. This scene was pretty intense especially seeing that Will keeps losing the money little by little. He continuously states, "One more game!" Eventually though they win when Margot has to guess the player BD picked out. They end up getting it right. Then after an explanation about Will Smith making BD see the number of the football player constantly. Will takes most of the money and leaves Margot in a car ride. The rest of the movie is about this boring love interest thing between Smith and Robbie.

Overall is this movie good? No, it was simply boring. Was it worth watching? No, in fact I'm not watching it ever again. Who would you recommend it to? I'd say anybody who believes they should waste their time in a movie where nothing really interesting happens. Also I think this film is along the lines of a chick flick. Rating: 1 out of 10.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
(2001)

I really enjoyed it but Chris rock ruined it!
Spoiler alert!!!

OK I really liked the whole idea for the movie and the idea of two no life's actually being inspirational. This whole movie is really funny and it feels like a dumb and dumber film just with more swearing, violence, and an annoying black so-called comedian bashing on white people all because he's having a bad day. I mean this movie was ruined not only by the white bashing but it was the talentless Chris rock! This guy drives me crazy and every time I see him, I'd like to punch the TV. I just have to ask why must a racist African American even be brought up? This movie was fine without him and besides he serves no comedic purpose except to make the viewer wish he was killed during the end fight scene. Now I don't expect you to agree with me about whether Chris rock is funny or not I just wish people would understand that race bashing should be outlawed. Come on whites get called racists because of this how come black people could get away with this?! Anyway the movie was very good it had a very good cast, with the exception of Chris rock. Overall I think the funniest scene was when the orangutan likely kills Jason Biggs and the other guy dressed up as Jay. I mean wasn't expecting it, that was ingenious. I give it a 7 out of 10.

The Art of the Steal
(2013)

Good Actors, But It Was Boring!
Spoiler Alert!!! Last night I was excited to see that Kurt Russell was back in action. I was really interested in seeing how his age would affect his ability to do action movies. I was really expecting a good intense action movie about them heisting a bank or an art gallery or something. Boy, was I disappointed at how long and boring this movie was. I mean it had it's moments where it was funny and all, but this movie is the most boring movie about robbers I have ever seen. It's sad because it really was a missed opportunity at something that could have been interesting and entertaining. I was so bored that I couldn't even watch the other half of the movie. It's such a shame that the writers probably didn't even bother to understand that a true audience wouldn't want to see a movie about a heist that takes too long to get to the point. The audience all probably fell asleep dreaming of a better movie like my mother, father, and brother did. It did have some funny moments and lines like I said before, but the rest of the movie is boring build up, I give it a 4 out of 10.

Legend
(1985)

Awesome Film!
Spoiler Alert! I watched and loved this movie ever since I can remember. In fact it's one of the first movies I've ever seen that I remembered beginning to end besides Dumb and Dumber and a handful of others. The only thing that I didn't really like at all was Tom Cruise's acting in the movie. I mean if you notice there are several times in this film where he overacts which kinds of ruins his character. I thought his character should of been silent through about 3/4s of the movie. I mean was there really any point of him yelling out in the most annoying way possible, "Lilly!" The whole movie is pretty awesome and very fantasy-like kind of like a Zelda or Castlevania game where the hero is in search of ending a curse. If you haven't seen this movie I highly recommend it. I mean I see some of the script is kind of confusing but it is pretty awesome and satisfying to see. I'm surprised they never made a sequel with the open ending it had. I give it a out of 10 because again Tom Cruise's acting wasn't quite right for this film and also some of the story is confusing.

Snowpiercer
(2013)

Good movie till the horrible end!
Spoiler Alert! OK I liked most of the main characters and it really sucked it ended the way it ended. This movie had pretty much everything going for it and yet it's all wasted by the end. I know I'm talking a lot about the end being so bad but it's true. Trust me the ending of this movie will ruin it for you. I was rooting for most of the characters only for them all to die. There I just saved you from the end. Trust me there are way better Apocalypse movies than this. Even Waterworld was better than this because at least it had a better ending. I could ramble on for hours talking about this movie but I just wanted to say this ending sucked! Seriously I wasted all of that time liking these characters. I give this movie a 6 out of 10 all because of the end. OK I'm done and I'm sorry if I wasted your time but seriously that's exactly what this movie did and I'm so mad.

The Exorcist
(1973)

Classic movie!
Spoiler Alert! I just recently saw this movie and heard it was the scariest movie of all time. Honestly for the time it was the scariest movie but now in time, it really isn't all that scary. The reason I say that is because here some of the effects looked ridiculous. When compared to movies like Shutter I think that is a truly scarier film then this because that had more scarier moments. Here though the only thing really going for it was the whole 2nd half of the movie. Truthfully, I thought it was kind of boring halfway through mainly because I had no idea what was happening. I'm still shocked that people would call this the most terrifying horror movie of all time I mean the only thing that really sticks out is some of the not so great looking effects. Overall I didn't really care for it but decided to give it a 6 out of 10 because I know if I didn't give it higher than a 7 people wouldn't even bother to read this. Seriously though if you are looking for something even scarier than this watch the Thailand movie Shutter, trust me you will at least jump once.

Jurassic World
(2015)

Eh Alright Film but is obvious.
Spoiler Alert! OK I went to the theaters to watch this film with little to no expectations. The first half hour was about them introducing these dinosaurs at the Jurassic Park. The park is finally open only a new species mixed between a raptor and T-rex breaks loose wrecking havoc upon the place. The main guy character is worshipped as a hero for God knows what reason by the kids. I mean seriously he doesn't do anything heroic in front of the kids. Now Vincent D'Onofrio is a somewhat villainous guy whom I really rooted for him because he had a smart idea. His idea was to have the raptors go out and see if they could take down the T-rex, however he didn't know that the raptors were from a mixed breed. This causes the raptors to team with the t-rex and kill some of the soldiers. This plan seemingly failed at this point but about 5 minutes after his death this in fact does happen so therefore killing his character was really pointless. I mean hey he seemed smart even though he was viewed as an ass his idea saves the main characters at the end. If it wasn't for D'Onofrio's idea the main characters would of died. The movie was alright but nothing special. I give it a 4 out of 10.

Royal Kill
(2009)

What a piece of Crap!
Spoiler Alert!!! All that build up for a twisted waste of time! I mean Adam turning into Nadia is not a turn on but a stupid waste of time. Seriously why would the movie build up a bad guy and good guy when they are both the same damn person! There were no existence of ninjas to be seen anywhere so the point of calling it Ninja's Creed is just a coax so you could hope that maybe this movie has a chance but no! It is a waste of my whole family's time! I would rather castrate myself than ever see this turd that wont flush of a film! I really feel raped like I just got out of prison and cant wipe without feeling dirty! I wonder if the director was smoking some Ganja cause the script was stupider than Eric Roberts looks. The long hair is overdone and so is this stupid movie! Thanks for reading this now go find a better movie to watch! 0 out of 10.

Graduation Day
(1981)

Eh I found it OK!
Spoiler Alert!!! I see why so many people hate this movie and I really understand that it does have it's moments where it drags on. I mean seriously the suspect couldn't be more obvious. It's pretty obvious that the only person closest to the girl who died was the killer and that's the bf. Seriously, I guessed it right from the start and I just waited for each one to die to prove my prediction. Anyway, most of the deaths were pointless and the characters were completely innocent. The killer had no reason to kill anybody but himself. This whole movie was pretty much a waste of time but I really liked the costume that the killer used. It was unusual and really creative at the time. However I don't think a sword is the best weapon for a sadistic serial killer. I sort of liked this movie despite how stupid it is at times. I give it a 4 out of 10.

April Fool's Day
(2008)

Waste of Time, Effort, and Money!
Spoiler Alert!!! This movie is a horrible remake and I'm glad it isn't really even mentioned now a days. The plot is a basic retell of the original just not as fun and more boring. The kills in this movie are very poorly done and it's quite obvious they didn't die as they were said to have died. I mean seriously the only deaths you really see are Carl's and Blaine. This movie is so horrible I threw it out the day after I watched it and thank god! I'm so glad I got that turd off of my hands. This film shouldn't even exist I mean even the twist was obvious. The writers couldn't do anything but butcher a classic movie. Please stay away at all costs. This rating should be anything below a 2. It really is that terrible and it just makes me want to gouge my eyes out. This is one of the worst remakes I have ever had the unpleasurable experience of watching.

The Tripper
(2006)

Eh-Slasher!
Spoiler Alert!!! OK the whole movie is about the most overused concept a group of friends are looking to get away and into the woods. Here they do drugs, fornicate, and are picked off one by one by a mask wearing serial killer. Literally this movie had something going for it by having the killer be wearing a Ronald Regan mask, targeting hippies, and leaving a trail of black jelly beans for Thomas Jane to find. I must say the kills are pretty lame when it comes to creativity like for instance David Arquette himself only gets his neck broken when he deserved worse, a bare naked male hippie gets gutted upside down, and an old guy gets decapitated. Like seriously it's pretty used up. The only interesting kills I would say is the opening scene where a kid stabs his own father in the throat with a chainsaw and Paul Ruebens death where he gets chainsawed in half, vertically. This movie really doesn't have any interesting characters and the only one I was rooting for was Thomas Jane. This movie isn't really anything new when it comes to the slasher genre and if you are interested in seeing hippies getting murdered by Ronald Regan, a completely naked male hippie, or Thomas Jane seeing black jelly beans I recommend it one watch. I give it a 4 out of 10.

Gran Torino
(2008)

A new side of Clint Eastwood!
Spoiler Alert!!! Clint Eastwood is obviously notorious for playing big bad-ass cowboys who could make a grown man cry just by starring in their eyes. Hear though the old cowboy is off his horse and living in modern civilization. Here his wife dies and his family treats him very poorly like a used up old dog. He slowly begins building feelings for his Asian neighbors. Little by little he becomes tired of living with cancer and seeing the family being picked on by street thugs. He decides to give his life in the end and leaves everything to the neighbors, the end! Well for such a small summary I must say the movie is pretty well built up and I really like Clint Eastwood still trying to act like a hard-ass when here he's really soft. I liked this movie a lot and it'd be crazy not to enjoy it's intense build up. I give it an 8 out of 10.

S.I.C.K. Serial Insane Clown Killer
(2003)

What did I just watch?
Spoiler Alert!!! OK this is without a doubt one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life! The only thing that's keeping me from giving this movie anything less than a one is the fact that it has a clown character that's a cannibal. That piece of the story is literally the only good idea that this movie has in it's existence. This movie is your basic slasher wear a group of friends go out in the woods and die one by one. This time it's a clown who happens to be a cannibal and is hungry. The quality is the worst I've ever seen and it's so hard to see what's happening sometimes. None of the characters are likable and the acting sucks! I don't say this too often but I think even I could make a better film than this with my friends. Please don't watch this if you value your time! I warn you! It's only a 1.5 out of 10.

Killjoy
(2000)

Yuck!
Spoiler Alert!!! Please stay away from this horrible piece of goat SH!T, if you value your life! Even if your are about to kill yourself, do not watch this horrible piece of trash! One of the worst ideas for a movie ever. The quality sucks! The Story sucks! The acting Sucks! The Cover sucks! This whole movie just sucks! Do yourself a favor and do not see this film's trailer it will make you just want to drop to your knees and weep for humanity. It is the most poor excuse for a film I have ever seen. It's even worse than S.I.C.K. and Mr. Jingles. What is it about a clown killer that's so hard to make into a film?!!! Were the script writers high when they wrote the script to this horrible abomination? It's a 0 out of 10. The only thing I am ashamed to admit is that I liked the music in the trailer for this so-called movie! Just stay away from this!

See all reviews
