Review: "The Final" (2010)- written January 31, 2011

"The Final" is a movie worth watching. It may not be great, but it is a horror film that has reason and philosophy to it. A bunch of high school outsiders decide to get vengeance,so to speak, on their tormenters. The plan that this group of teens come up with is quite an interesting one. However my problem with it is that the plan wasn't perfectly thought out. It would have made a better film otherwise. Now they get to prove their point somewhat but the movie wasn't overall satisfying. The focus was NOT on the Meaning, just the Situation. There are many things I wish this movie had more of; fear, tension, drama, and camera time for philosophy. I also wish that a particular character didn't have to 'escape'(it's not a spoiler), it just took more away from the film. Alas, one can only wish for a movie not so great that they wanted to be so.

Review: "Martyrs"(2008)- written January 25, 2011

Watching martyrs, I was enjoying it....for the first forty minutes(or so). I was enjoying essentially every bit of it, until they made a 90 degree turn and made it into something weird and crazy. When I say weird and crazy I suppose I really am saying I thought it was just stupid, unimportant, and had no interesting purpose. Before the end after the turn, interest started to slope downwards and I wondered how it could turn into a good movie. It failed to do so by adding a supernatural element and meaning to the film. The end made the whole movie a waste, not because there is somoething supernatural but because it was ALL about a selfish and awful motive to know something of that sort. The movie says they Make martyrs, but they torture people against their will for their own belief, which does stick to a definition but it's not something worth watching. The movie is awful because its unnesessary sadism has no interesting reason to it at all. Now the previous sentance could be said about many horror movies and has been said, but to someone who get's the point of horror movies, it applies to me.

Review: "Kill Theory"- written January 25, 2011

"Kill Theory" is a good movie, what makes it good in part is the concept of 'kill theory'. The theory that the film implies is that when a group of friends face a lethal threat, someone will be willing to kill their friends to save their own life. The movie focuses on this group of post college/university students spending the night at one guy's isolated cotage home(like-place). Later, one of the friends bodies is found with a message; "You must kill each other until there is one person left alive. If there is more than one person alive by a certain time, you will all die.". So you are left to guess which person is going to live. There are some twists, some expected and some not sot so much, which does make it a good movie. However I couldn't stop the question; Would I kill my friends to live, or die for one of them? Other than philoshophy, "Kill Theory" has plenty of gore and little nudity. I would recommend a view.

Review: "Case 39"(2010)

"Case 39" is a horror movie of high caliber. It is suspenseful, mysterious, creepy, and scary. It also puts the idea up of a 'Hell', and what yours is. Near the beginning, a little girl says she heard her parents say they were going to send her to hell. The entire movie is based on her and a woman at child services who takes care of her. All I can say is that the movie picks up and keeps running. "Case 39", in my opinion, is a thriller that will not disappoint. See it. Also..I liked the use of the girl's name, appropriate.

"Skyline"(2010)

So I apparently have to argue why this is a good movie, or why it isn't so bad.

The movie had GREAT special effects, cool and Amazing monsters/aliens, a memorable kiss, and a really Awesome ending. Maybe I am just a person that really liked it, but right now I can't see why some people think it's a bad movie. Just remember, if you are going to say that a movie IS BAD -THEN SAY WHY.

Review: "Leaves of Grass"(2009)-written January 7, 2011

If you are mature enough and able to watch movies where people get shot and swear a lot(with a scene of sexuality), then watch this movie. If you like Edward Norton then you will get twice the pleasure of watching him act in this movie, also "The Incredible Hulk"(2008). Short reveiw but reccomended.

Review: "Black Swan"(2010)

"Black Swan" is not overall a Really Good movie, but isn't a bad movie either. It is definitely fun to watch, or interesting. One could say it would give you goosebumps. The movie is kind of like a ride, waiting to see what Thing is going to happen next. These Events are what drive the story along, they are basically always scary but nothing is ever Truly revealed that makes Everything complete. There is plenty of sexual content which Only refrains from showing Actual nudity. As for gore, it can get disturbing but is very limited and isn't focused on as much as sex. Our main charecter goes through a lot in this movie particuarially at the hands of her Annoying,Controlling,OBSESIVE mother, who I`m sure you will learn to hate(eventually). "Black Swan" is a movie I would recommend to watch because it is a great thriller.
