I really like " Grounded for Life." It is a very simple comedy, which thanks to talented script writers and actors, is totally hilarious. I love this show because of how realistic and UN-PC it is. With a lot of sitcoms or shows the children are not realistic, the parents way to soft, the situations ridiculous and then the horror of sitcom horrors . . . ALL PROBLEMS ARE ENDED WITH A HUG!!!!!!! You know how stupid that seems when absolutely NO sane households are that sensitive? The strictest Mormon will even find that bizarre. That is why " Grounded for Life" is such a great show. The situations are so hilarious and perfect, and the message comes across clearly in identifiable situations that regular people can associate themselves with. I applaud the actors, director and anyone who was involved with this. It makes my afternoons from 4-5 PM (and my parents' afternoon) much more entertaining.

I had always heard that "American Pie" was so hilarious!!! Now let me say that I had heard this from a bunch of teenagers, when I was 12. They were my age. Even when I was 12 I really didn't like kids or teenagers that much because I though they were completely stupid and so foolish, actually laughing at the sex and toilet humor that they think is hilarious. This movie was full of them, and I was perplexed on how anybody could really find this cute. Personally I think it's disgusting and repulsive, not to mention embarrassing and diminishing to one's reputation. How do you think people regard me? They think I actually am that intelligent. Ew. Back to the movie. I have to say besides the jokes, the movie plot was horrible, very fragile and frail, like a building with a poorly constructed frame. It really had no purpose. They wanted to lose their virginity by prom night? Whoop-dee-doo, there is barely a teenager who doesn't. Way to be unique. The acting wasn't the best I've ever seen, but then again I don't really like most of the actors. I don't really like Tara Reid that much. To me she never picked character's that I actually sympathized with. What disappoints me most about this film, and many recent films, is that they seem to take teen sex, or sex outside of marriage, as some little joke, like it doesn't matter. I'm a Catholic, but this really doesn't have to do with anything about my faith. Sex is a deep expression of love and something that should not be taken lightly, especially since the only reason they want to screw you is to for their own pleasure, or their own sick goals, like in this noble movie(ew). With all the pregnancies, abortions and sexually transmitted diseases, sex is not as carefree (if it ever was) as it used to be, and it doesn't help when Hollywood promotes it as a selling point. Oh my goodness, grow up already!

First of all, let me say I like Degrassi a lot, and I think it's a great show. But for all of those who say it's realistic, that is complete . . . I can't swear so just put in the word. I mean, the situations are realistic (like the shooting, the abortion, the pregnancy, the rape) but all of those situations occur not that often, or at least not every few months. At Degrassi, it happens all the time! Other than the flaws in the plot, it's a very good show!! I like most of the characters, and most people (usually teenagers, like myself) become enveloped with wanting to see what happens. The only character that annoys me is Emma. She never shuts up about the environment, she can't except new things (like her step-dad), she's loud, she's stupid, she's rude and she's overwhelming. The one episode that really made me want to kill her (the character of course) was when she kept torturing Rick. Give the guy a break, he's mentally unstable and he's guilty, don't be such a jerk! Especially since she almost gets killed because of her behavior, you think she would've just ignored him. My favorite characters are Sean, Paige, Marco, Ashley and Craig. They make the show interesting and make me want to watch. Overall, the show is very good. It does have some corny and overly dramatic moments, but there are very few (if not none) shows that haven't. 6/10

I did not see "50 First Dates," when it first came out, but a year after that. I was staying in a hotel, and with nothing to do, I decided to watch it. I want those 99 minutes from my life back!! I absolutely hated this movie! Je déteste beaucoup "50 First Dates"! Why? As the title hinted, it was too unoriginal. I'd like to say that Hollywood is doling out wonderful movies that deserve the many Oscars they are presented with, but they don't. "50 First Dates" is a perfect example. The movie has a poor plot that basically moves around this guy trying to win back this girl (who's really rude I might add) every single day because she has short term memory disorder. The video he puts together is sweet, but watching that thing everyday, every few minutes, made me want to gouge out my eyes, or kick the director in the stomach. To fill in the gaping gaps that this movie is filled with are sex jokes. Wow, how original!! Everybody knows that sex jokes make a great movie!! Sex jokes are embarrassing, rude and immature. If you joke about sexual organs, you probably shouldn't hit the sheets for another 20 years! That's how much I hate those people. What's more disappointing is the audience that goes to see these movies are actually stupid enough to laugh and think they're funny without being slightly taken aback or disgusted. It's pathetic. The end of the movie is corny and of course the happy ending you guess. Then again, it was cute, but I just think they should've done something a little different, but have them get back together. All in all, this movie had a lousy plot, lousy actors and horrible void fillers. The only reason it get a 3/10 is because it's in Hawaii. Had they put it in the mainland it would've gotten a 1/10

What can one say about "Plan 9 From Outer Space," that already has not been said? I can think of many things. While many people hate this movie and say it was the worst in history, I completely 100% disagree. Why? I have many reasons. The thing about "Plan 9" is that while it did have poor special affects, one must remember that Edward D. Wood Jr. did not have the best funding, he had to produce and pay for everything himself, sometimes with assistance from his crew. If you look at it that way, it would actually be a very good movie, if his funding had been better. While the acting and writing was poor, let me tell everyone who scoffs at it something. The acting and writing in some of today's movies are far more atrocious than that in "Plan 9." Most of today's movies are filled with sex jokes, which are not at all amusing, and are so over done that it gets tiring. While many actors are praised today with having incredible abilities, many do not, and really are no better than the best acting in "Plan 9." The most important thing we have to remember about "Plan 9 From Outer Space," is that it was a sincere movie. Ed Wood thought he had something going, and he directed from the heart. He just wanted to tell stories and to be artistic. So many people get back lashed for doing what they love, and if it is not hurting anybody, leave them alone! Let them do what they want for Heaven's sake! All in all, if you look at what "Plan 9 From Outer Space" could have been had it been given better funding and assistance, it probably would've turned out swell, and it wouldn't be known as the worst film in history. "Plan 9" had a very good plot, and was pretty entertaining (I'm not talking about laughing at it) but really, it was a pretty good movie. Plus, I've seen films with huge funding, that were completely horrible. Yeah, you've seen them.

It is a sad shame to examine closely the decline of MTV over the last decades. MTV was supposedly a television station that put the spotlight on the non-mainstream little guy, but now it is the exact opposite. I never liked MTV, and this is one of the reasons. When I first heard of the show " My Super Sweet 16," I thought is was a charity of MTV. I thought that MTV gave a large sum of money to a child turning 16 who normally couldn't have a nice party because they did not come from one of the most financially secure families. I thought, " Oh, that's so sweet of them!" How wrong I was. " My Super Sweet 16" is basically a camera crew taking the audience on a horrible tour through the escapade on trying to put together a sweet 16 party. The thing is, while it just focuses on people who are filthy rich, there's nothing wrong with that, it's the people who are documented. Most of the kids are spoiled, rich, snobby girls who intimidate and threaten their parents with bratty, horrid behavior. The worst part is the parents don't have the guts to tell their kids to shut up and be polite! Instead it's "calm down," "ok," "fine," and the ever popular, "whatever makes you happy!" Even when the kid is being rude in public, to strangers who are just doing their job. My least favorite part of the show is when the kids pass out the invitations. The first reason is because it is the custom of girls now days to act ditsy, a pathetic move to act "cute." What's even worse is nobody curses them out because their all to stupid to see that they're faking the dottiness. So as they pass out the invitations, they'll say things like, " My party will be the best, you better be there." I wouldn't go unless you were going to destroy the soul of a loved one, and they don't have that power. The second reason is the only reason kids go is because they have either fallen into the warped view of the mind where they are vulnerable to these conceded brats, or that they just want to go to a party. The third, and most important reason is, these girls are ugly. Inside and out. They believe that they're so beautiful, when many of them are overly tan, with small eyes, too-straight hair and stomachs that stick out like a pregnant woman's belly, with matching love-handles that fall out of their too-tight jeans. In addition, they are so conceded, rude, obsessed with themselves, you cannot help but hate them. In conclusion, don't watch this show, it is a waste of time, yet a perfect example to show what a piece of trash MTV is. -100 out of 10 was not on the select button, so I give it 0.

I loved this movie. I thought is was SO funny!!!!! Johnny Depp did a fantastic job at being Ed Wood, and Martin Landau was no exception. Surprisingly, Sarah Jessica Parker did a fantastic job, and this is one of Bill Murray's better roles. It was a funny and touching movie, and proves that Edward D. Wood Jr. was not some demented transvestite who made horrible movies. It showed the audience the fuel that was motivating Ed's choices, instead of making him into some freak. What I loved was the bond that was created between Bela and Ed. This is where Depp and Landau come in handy. They did such terrific jobs, Depp turning Wood into a sweet, sincere, funny person, and Landau creating a beautiful picture of Bela Lugosi. I cried when Bela died. It was very sad.

Ed Wood is a wonderful movie, humorous and touching. I deduct a point for the profound use of language. Geez!

When I first watched Edward Scissorhands, my favorite movie of all time, I was 13, and the only reason I saw it was because I was an avid Johnny Depp fan, loving his looks and acting abilities. When I saw Edward Scissorhands, I was deeply moved. I saw Edward as a sweet, caring man, a special individual, a type of person I have only seen once. At the end of the movie, I had come to love Edward, and valued him as an unforgettable movie character. At the end, I cried so hard. I was sobbing. It was horrible, yet sad, happy and beautiful all at the same time. Now every time I watch, I swear, I always cry. I'm just a romantic, sensitive 14 year old. There are so many reasons though why this is my favorite movie. The least important one is that is has beautiful scenery. The pastel neighborhood looked like Easter colored candies. The house where Edward lives is hauntingly beautiful, with the black, decaying house, yet the radiant garden of sculptured bushes and beds of flowers spread over the grounds. The scene with the Snow Angel. Oh. My. Goodness. That scene took my breath away. It was angelic, exquisite, magnificent poetry that captured the innocence of Edward, and the beauty and creativity he possesses. The next one is the wonderful job of the cast, crew, music and director. I have to say that Tim Burton is my all time favorite director, this was the piece that moved me the most. It is his greatest work, the way he told the story. The cute beginning with the grandmother and her granddaughter, the way he introduced the audience to Edward, the way he tells the story, throwing in the quirks and jokes without being dirty or crude like so many directors with no talent today. The way he told the ending, the way he made us say, " Oh, that was so sad!!" The next reason is probably a little foolish, but . . . this was the very first movie to make me cry, I mean sob. Until then, at a sentimental part in a show, play, movie or song, I was neutral, showing no emotion. Now tears trickle down my cheeks when I hear Puff the Magic Dragon. The most important reason is this; this movie made me appreciate the beauty, kindness and sensitivity of the human heart, those qualities that all humans possess, but pretty much never reveal. More critical than that is it showed me the importance of love. The ending, really made me realize that, and not blush about it. Today I am one of the very few youth who realize the power of love, compassion and kindness, the beauty of the heart. Most people say that Edward was "trying to fit in." Personally, I think it is something else. I think he was looking for the feeling of being loved, of knowing that someone cared about him, of knowing that if he were alive, someone would care. In reality, is that not what we all want, maybe deep down? We all want to know that someone cares for us, more than anything. That someone would care if we were hurt, lonely, sad, happy, angry or whatever. In the end, I cannot really fully explain why Edward Scissorhands is the epitome of film. I do know it's beautiful, gorgeous, touching, cinematic poetry. Edward Scissorhands is not only great entertainment, but it is a flawless piece of sentimental art that every person should appreciate. Edward was a sweet, caring person with a heart of gold, something so rare that of all the people I know, there's only one person who is really comparable to him. That's sad, really. All I can say as I begin to end this review is that Edward Scissorhands is probably the best cinema that has ever been created, the best story that fully captures the depths of the heart, touches you and makes you sad and happy at the same time. If you haven't seen it, you should. I would give this movie infinity/10, but it wasn't an option. Edward Scissorhands is cinematic gold.
