The best war film ever made, Black Hawk Down is by far one of the most accurate war films ever made. The cast does a remarkable job at bringing the battle of Mogadishu to life. The film is also one of Ridley Scott's finest films. A none stop roller coaster ride of war action, Black Hawk Down delivers one of the fiercest portrayals of a firefight. An intense film not to be missed. Based on the book of the same name, Black Hawk Down tells the tale of the battle of Mogadishu on October 3rd, 1993. A film that shows the brutal reality of combat, this is a film that will bring you into the heart of combat. Some people may feel like this film is inacurrate in how certain groups were portrayed such as one scene where Pakistanis bring water to the tired troops of Task Force Ranger, which if you read the book, is accurate. This is not a film for the common movie goer. This is a film for the diehard war film fan, it's a graphic and depressing portrait of warfare at it's most unhinged.

U-571 is a submarine war film designed for the technically intempt or n audience who ignores fact. The film is entertaining, but the plot as usual surrounds Hereoic Americans. The events in the film were actually conducted by the British and they successfully captured many Enigma coding materials from the Axis. The film proves ton be entertaining, but is packed with cliches and is definitely not accurate. U-571 is an Americanized story that ignores and insults the many Allies that America did have, hell The Americans only entered the war in 1941. As far as I'm concerned U-571 is an average film, but it doesn't do justice to the real story of capturing Enigma code machines. The film is flawed, but its a popcorn film, simple as that. It entertained me to say the least and I think there was a decent cast here, but as far as I'm concerned, this submatrine film is not the one to watch for awesome real WW II authencity that really captures the battle. For that film watch Das Boot instead. U-571 is simply a typical popcorn action film that breaks all the rules of drawing from facts, and instead the filmmakers took creative liberties to create this film. The result is a so-so film with good action. But this film is a slap in the face of the British because they are the ones who captured Enigma code materials during war, not the Americans. I personally think that the filmmakers could have been more authentic to the actual events that the film tries to portray with an American point of view. Instead, U-571 ends up being a half entertaining blunder that was only made for an audience that doesn't like to think. One of the reasons why the film is centered on Americans is because the film needed to find an audience, and what better way than to have a WWII sub film with Americans as the heroes? A film that is a decent enough popcorn flick with decent action, but the fact that it ignores the real story is insulting to the real heroes.

Based on Ex USMC Scout Sniper, Anthony Swofford's memoir Jarhead; this is an incredible look at how soldiering can change one man. The film follows Swofford from Boot Camp to active duty during the Gulf War. The film takes a close look at Anthony Swofford who has a family history that every male member has served in the war. Swofford attends extensive Marine training to become a scout sniper. The film shows the camaraderie of the soldiers going off to war. Also the film shows the inhuman side of the soldiers (Swofford pulls an M16A2 assault riffle on a fellow soldier, another soldier desecrates a dead Iraqi's body) Jarhead is set during the first Gulf War. Instead of fighting the enemy, they mostly fight boredom amongst themselves. A terrificly told film with a new take on the war genre, though lacking in actual warfare carnage; Jarhead plays on the aspect of what it means to be a soldier and it's a film that tends to show a different side of soldiers. However the reason why this film fails to have a perfect score is that it shows mostly Hollywood cliches of stereotypical marine, dimwitted and can't do anything smart, and has little education. Thats my only real beef with the film, and thats why I can't give this film a perfect score. However it is a well acted film with strong actors in the roles. This is unlike any other war film, because it focuses on a war that lasted for four days, and the thing that soldiers are fighting the most of is boredom, not the enemy. A different type of film, but enjoyable nonetheless. Sam Mendes (director of American Beauty) brings this impressive story to film. Jarhead is watchable, but it's not flawless by any means.

Gettysberg directed by Ronald F. Maxwell and financed by Ted Turner is an epic war film. The film recreates the battle of Gettysberg during the American civil war. During the three days of July 1,2 and 3rd 1863, the Confederate army and Union army clashed head to head to gain control of Gettysberg Pennsylvania. Gettysberg was a strategic point of interest for the Confederate army as Gettysberg had a network of important roads that led to the Northern states. taking Gettysberg would have permitted to Confederate forces to march on Washington D.C. This film chronicles the battle in vivid detail. This is an incredible film to watch because the attention to every single detail is well done. I would say that this film is quite accurate and it has minimal inaccuracy. Jeff Daniels delivers his greatest performance as Joshua Chamberlain. Martin Sheen plays Robert E. Lee, the much respected Confederate general. Gettysberg is a different kind of war film as this is set during the Civil war. The three days of brutal warfare are astounding to watch on the big screen. Everything about the battle is huge and its really awesome to see this incredible battle unfold on film. Maxwell direction is superb and the actors involved in this project really deliver something special on screen. As a war film, Gettysberg delivers something very epic, this is a four hour long film compressing three big days of battle into those four hours. If you're a civil war buff, you must watch this film. The film is quite the experience, and the film has a lot going for it. One thing thats great is that it shows both sides of the conflict, Confederate and Union. Despite some conflicting opinions on both sides, you come to understand why these men would fight for something. Gettysberg shows us not only the battle, But the reason why both sides are fighting. To that degree, Gettysberg is one terrific film as this was a war that ravaged not only America, but families and friends as well.

Stanley Kubrick now turns his eye to the Vietnam war. Full Metal Jacket is a flawless, haunting portrayal of war. The drama unfolding before your eyes is like no other war film, except maybe for Platoon. Not since Platoon and Apocalypse Now has a Vietnam war film been this good. This shows the dehumanization of recruit and having them rebuilt as Marines, killing machines sent to Vietnam to kill everything they see, as D.I Hartman says so vividly. Kubrick definitely knows how to capture the caos of warfare, and like Oliver Stone's masterwork Platoon, this is one of the defining films of the Vietnam war. Full Metal Jacket also has an incredible cast of actors on hand, R. Lee Ermey, Vincent D'Onofrio, Matthew Modine and Adam Balwin deliver great performances and are great on screen. This is one war film not to miss.

We Were Soldiers is quite possibly the best Vietnam war film since Platoon. Based on Colonel Harold Moore's, We Were Soldiers Once... And Young. We Were Soldiers tells a compelling story about the first major engagement during the Vietnam war. Braveheart screenwriter, Randall Wallace directs this film with great accuracy. The film is not flawless, but for the most part, it does a great job at being authentic. The film does a great job at establishing the characters, unlike previous war films where you are shown little character development, We Were Soldiers demonstrates perfect character development and you sympathize when one of the characters are killed in combat. I found We Were Soldier to be very different than any other Vietnam war film because it shows the human side of these soldiers, we are shown the family side of the soldiers, and unlike every other Vietnam war film, we are shown that these soldiers have sympathy and aren't blood thirsty animals who are "baby killers". We Were Soldier an achievement in war films as it shows the carnage of war, and shows us the human side of it as well. Randall Wallace has crafted a phenomenal war film, and the cast he directs give stunning, poignant performances. We Were Soldiers is the best Vietnam war film to come along in a long time, and like I've said before, it's a very different one as well. Of course one of the best parts of this film is that it shows that the soldiers fighting this war weren't monsters, and for me that is a positive thing. The battle scenes are incredible, and very intense and suspenseful. Not flawless, but very close, We Were Soldiers is yet another memorable addition to the war genre. A fine film, and may I add also a misunderstood one at that.

Madness, Epic, Genius, haunting. These are the only a few words that can used to describe Francis Ford Coppola's Vietnam war masterpiece, Apocalypse Now. This is a film that shows the war exactly as it was. Francis Ford Coppola's masterful Vietnam war film is a monumental experience in cinema. All throughout the film, we have a sense of dehumanization as we are shown the horrors of that war. Coppola delivers a war film unlike any other. Apocalypse Now like The Deer Hunter were both kinda risky in the sense that the Vietnam war was still pretty fresh in Americas mind. Both films were released 4 and 5 years after the conflict ended. Coppola delivers a film that recreates the chaos and the inhumanity of the conflict. The film dwells heavily on the darkness of the human spirit. Coppola's vision of Vietnam is unsparing. Apocalypse Now is a surreal Nightmare of a picture. The film is harrowing and delivers on the drama. Apocalypse Now is one of the best Vietnam epics ever made. Coppola's vision of the conflict is unsurpassed and Apocalypse Now can easily be seen as THE Vietnam war film to watch. Throughout the film we are taken on a boat ride throughout the Jungles of Vietnam into Cambodia where Capt Benjamin Willard is tasked of killing a rogue Col (played with menace by legendary actor Marlon Brando) As we see the small squad pursuing their journey up the rivers of Vietnam. We get a taste of the ensuing chaos as the squad travels into war torn Vietnam. Apocalypse Now is an incredible war film with a terrific cast and it's definitely one of the few Vietnam war films that takes the audience through an emotional roller coaster ride. Apocalypse Now is a riveting epic thats has yet to be topped. Platoon is a close second as far as Vietnam war films is concerned, but Apocalypse Now will always remain the best film on that conflict as it shows a surreal, emotional journey of a squad of men sent out into the horrors of the Vietnam war. Francis Ford Coppola's directing is flawless, though slow like The Godfather; the pacing of the film is brilliant and adds to the emotional impact of this incredible picture.

Tunnel Rats is a surprinsly accomplished film from director Uwe Boll. Based on the Tunnel Rats of the Vietnam war, 1968 Tunnel Rats is a thrilling low budget war film. The film has a take no prisoners attitude and it's by better than any other of Boll's previous repertoire of work. Tunnel Rats, though flawed is a very accomplished film, with a decent cast and claustrophobic scenes in the tunnel systems of the Viet Cong. Thought not accurate, it does give you a slight glimpse of what the men on seek and destroy mission in the tunnels of the Vietnamese jungle went through, a tense, thrilling film this is one oif Uwe Boll's better films. Tunnel Rats is a raw, gritty and gory war film not for the faint of heart or if you're a traditional Boll basher out to just talk shit about his films, then skip this one, because this one won't make you change your mind and you'll hate it just because Uwe Boll made the film.

Two Vietnam war epics have been made prior to Platoon. Apocalypse Now and The Deer Hunter. Both films showed the chaos and personal cost of war on a soldier. However Oliver Stone's film goes a little deeper than that, as it shows the dehumization of a soldier fighting a misunderstood war. Platoon is the third greatest film about the Vietnam war. Oliver Stone's vision is unrelenting, raw and brutal. The film has many difficult scenes to watch, but it's all part of showing you the madness of this war. The film is brilliantly directed by Oliver Stone and is based on his experiences fighting in the war. What I admire most about this film is that it doesn't sugar coat the chaos with typical Hollywood action cliches. The film shows the cost and horrors of combat as it is. The film isn't a romanticized version of war. The film is very realistic and shows warfare for what it really is. Platoon is an action packed war film with tons of drama, and has many difficult scenes to watch. Platoon is still relevant after all these years and this is Oliver's greateat achievement, after this film he was fairly hit and miss. The cast that Stone has assembled for Platoon is simply stunning. Tom Berenger plays Sgt Barnes, a cruel leader with no remorse. Willem Dafoe Plays Sgt Ellias the favoirite of many from the Platoon. Both actors go head to head in the film, and deliver top notch performances. Charlie Sheen delivers the best performance of his career as Chris Taylor. Platoon is an unrelenting brutal film, and we see how the war slowly changes Chris Taylor as he arrives in Vietnam till after he's seen the cruelty of combat. Many Vietnam war films examine the chaos of war, but Platoon aside from Apocalypse Now is a film that really dwells into the dehumanization of a young soldier as he he experiences the horror of combat first hand. Marvelously directed by Oliver Stone, Platoon remains one of the best Vietnam war films ever filmed since Apocalypse Now. Platoon is one of my favorite war films, and if you haven't seen it yet; do yourself a favor and rent it.

Red Dawn is one of the most over exaggerated war films that I have ever seen. Yet there is something so appealing about it, that you can't dismiss it as crap. Starring Patrick Swayze, Lea Thompson and C Thomas Howell, Red Dawn presents a total extravagant plot, the invasion of the United States by Soviet Russia. A small group of teens ban together to repel the invaders. The film is preposterous, but it's a film filled with awesome action and is very entertaining. What makes the film work so well is the talented cast. Patrick Swayze delivers a great performance and so does Lea Thompson. The film is non stop entertainment and will definitely thrill you. The film is not for everyone, but to those who enjoy a mindless Cold War Era thriller, then Red Dawn is a must see film. Red Dawn is the type of film that you watch with your friends to have a good time, it's an adrenaline fueled film and the action is over the top. Action film junkies won't be disappointed because Red Dawn delivers insane amounts of action and thrills. The cast that portray the teens are an impressive bunch of talent and they deliver good performances. Red Dawn is simply put a mindless action film thats designed to deliver a great time to the audience, sure the plot is ludicrous, but it's still a wicked plot. Thats what makes this film so good. The film has been described as a Republican wet dream, which is saying a lot. The film presents good ol' fashioned Cold War paranoia and again showcases how evil are the Russians. All that makes Red Dawn an amusing piece of nostalgia from the 80's, flawed, but oh so good. This is a classic even if it looks dated by today's standards. The film is still fun to watch just like it was when it first came out, except now that the Cold War is over. Red Dawn is a pleasant time waster and is not a film to be taken so seriously. I don't understand why this film has gotten so many bad reviews, because at first glance you should know exactly what you're in for before watching it. If you expect a serious, well developed action film, then you will not find it here. Red Dawn is an exaggerated war film that succeeds very well at displaying an unconventional idea on screen, and if this type of film isn't your cup of tea, skip it.But to others who like these types of films, be prepared to have a great time.

Flags Of Our Fathers is based on the non fiction by the same name by James Bradley. James Bradley's father was one of the men who raised the flag on Mount Suribachi. Clint Eastwood adaptation is a flawed but good attempt. One of the biggest problems I had with the film was that there wasn't that many scenes on Iwo Jima. The film is about the six men who raised the flag, and we do get to see that in the film of course, but after that we get see them on a war bonds tour to raise funds for the war effort. I preferred the book personally, but Eastwood does do a good adaptations of the book. But with every adaptation, the book will always be better than film. But this is flawed and I think the second half, Letters From Iwo Jima was far superior to this film. As far as the cast is concerned they do a good job at portraying the real life men. Also I was stunned at a few casting choices, Paul Walker and Jesse Bradford for example. I think they're pretty boys who usually can't act, but I was pleasantly surprised with them in the film. Flags Of Our Fathers, takes a look at the propaganda campaign that followed the famous photograph take by Joe Rosenthal on February 23,1945. We see the impact the picture has back in America, and the US Army decide to take the six men on a war bonds tour to raise funds. With Flags Of Our Fathers we get two sides of the story, the battle itself and the raising of the flag and we get the propaganda side. Clint Eastwood has done a fairly good job at adapting this story and showing the cost of manufactured propaganda. This a good film to watch, and I did enjoy it, but the book offers a more in depth at the battle, the flag raising and the war bonds tour. Flags Of Our Fathers is a well told film and brilliant acted and directed. However there lacks something to make this film better than it is. Luckily if people felt let down by this film, the sequel, Letters From Iwo Jima definitely doesn't disappoint. I view this film as Clint Eastwood trying to find the right way in telling the story of the Battle of Iwo Jima and with Letters he manages to accomplish it. With Flags he was halfway there, and he was able to tell an important and unforgettable story. A flawed but very good film.

Clint Eastwood's masterful war epic of the battle of Iwo Jima. The film is viewed by the Japanese point of view of the battle. This is the second half of Eastwood's Iwo Jima tale, the first being Flags Of Our Fathers. Flags Of Our Fathers was a good film, telling the story from the American point of view of the battle. and focusing on the six men who raised the flag on Mount Suribachi. However Letters From Iwo Jima is different film and is an incredible one at that. The cast is well picked.and they deliver masterful performances. Ken Watanabe excels in his acting in the role as General Kuribayashi. He usually delivers strong performances as tragic characters, and in Letters From Iwo Jima, he delivers his best performance. Letters from Iwo Jima is one of the best war films since Black Hawk Down and Saving Private Ryan. Clint Eastwood delivers not only a powerful war film, but he also delivers a film with great drama. Thats one thing I admire about this film, that it shows the hesitation of a few Japanese soldiers willing to fight, and does show the human side of those soldiers. The film has a poetic feel to it because of the way the story is told. The film is simply beautiful, epic, poignant and extraordinary. Those are just some of the few words I can use to describe this picture. Clint Eastwood delivers a masterful film, a film thats almost flawless in it's execution. The story, acting and pacing of the film are terrific. Letters From Iwo Jima is one of the best war films to come out recently. Clint Eastwood has delivered a film that will definitely be remembered in time as one of the best war films about the battle of Iwo Jima. Thew thing that it's got going for it, is the fact that it tells the story from the Japanese side of the battle. Letters From iwo Jima is a masterful film that conveys emotion, the feel of combat and in the end; the doubt of surviving the battle. Letters From Iwo Jima is an amazing film and is the better half of Flags Of Our Fathers.

Enemy At The Gates is a very good film about two snipers who go head to head and play a game of cat and mouse. During The Battle Of Stalingrad, a young Sniper makes a name for himself by having multiple enemy kills. Judd Law gives a splendid performance as Vassilli Zaitsev, who became a hero during the war. Enemy At The Gates is not flawless but it sure is very entertaining and is one of the better war films. There are things that could have been changed. For example, the love story could have been omitted. Ed Harris delivered the best performance of the film, and I find him to be a great actor. A thing that I found great about the film was that it was set during the turning point of the war, because as we all know; the Battle Of Stalingrad was the first of many defeats of Nazi Germany. It's obvious that Hollywood took some creative liberties to make the story more appealing for the general public by including a love story, despite that fact it doesn't revolve constantly around that. Unlike other "war" films who've played out on the love aspect and downplayed on the war factor, very much like the Paul Gross travesty, Passchendaele and Michael Bay's Pearly Harbor. I guess the love side of the film is to give the characters a little more development and show a hopeful side to the end of the conflict, and unlike many films who've done that and failed, Enemy At The Gates is pretty good at limiting corny love scenes. The result is a flawed but very good film that is very entertaining to watch because the Battle Of Stalingrad was epic, and watching these two Elite snipers is very intense and thrilling. Enemy At The Gates is a fine war film, not accurate but very good. Also the fact that they don't overdo the love story is a big plus, and the film isn't another Passchendaele or Pearl Harbor. Enemy At The Gates should be seen as entertainment, and it is a well acted and solidly plotted film.

Hart's War is a very interesting and intriguing Thriller set during the Second World in a POW camp. Hart's War may not be a perfect film, but it dies manage to keep you entertained throughout. Helmed by director Gregory Hoblit, who is a very underrated and talented director, Hart's War is a well acted film with a good enough story. Many reviewers complain that it's a courtroom drama, well no shit, it is in a way. Theres nothing wrong with that, and I found the second half of this film to be quite good. Obviously Hart's War is not a perfect film, theres way too many flaws to count, but the way I see it, is it's an entertaining dramatic thriller with typical Hollywood elements to make the film more appealing to a wider audience. This film is not meant to be realistic in any way, it's just pure entertainment. Simple as that. The film boasts a decent cast of actors, and along with Phone Booth, this is Colin Farrell's best film, I'm not really a fan of his work, but in these two films he's very good. Overall, Hart's War is a pretty good dramatic Thriller, it may try to be too dramatic at times, but it's still a pretty good film worth watching. One of more interesting aspects of this film the numerous twists that unfold throughout, I found them quite thrilling, and you never get an idea of what really is going on till the very end. Before dismissing this film, give it a shot; for me it's a strong 6 out of 10. The actors playing the characters are well suited and just with the idea in mind that a "law student is assigned to defend a black prisoner accused of murder" should give the potential viewer a heads up that this will venture into courtroom drama territory. It's not the best film setting, granted, but it's certainly not the worst. A good enough film to watch on a rainy day.

Battle Of Britain is an excellent recreation of the Battle Of Britain of 1940. A superb film with terrific talent and directed by Guy Hamilton who made a name for himself by a directing four James Bond films. Battle Of Britain is a strong war film about one of Germany's greatest defeats. With the Battle Of Britain, the good fortune of Nazi Germany slowly took a turn for the worst, and the seemingly invincible German forces started facing defeat. Guy Hamilton's film is superb, the acting is so-so. But the aerial sequences are intense and well coordinated. In fact, some real planes of the war where used in the making of this film. The dog fights are well done, splendidly filmed. I don't understand why this film has gotten bad reviews. Because after all, it's fairly authentic and accurate at depicting this glorious victory of Britain over Nazi Germany. Battle Of Britain is one of the films to feature aerial combat . This is one of the strongest points of the film, and despite the decent acting, this film is still very much phenomenal due to the fact that it's great to see this impressive battle come to life on screen. Also, the film may spark interest for people wanting to read more on the war, and on this battle that changed the course of the war. All of the cast involved are good enough, but this is a film that focuses more on the battle itself, and less on the acting, and it's one of the reasons why this film is so terrific. Like many critics have said about this film, this film features the best aerial fighting sequences ever filmed. Sequences so exciting and so thrilling that not even modern day Hollywood films can top this film. Battle Of Britain is a unique film and an important look into one of Britains greatest victories during the war. A film thats also a must see for every history buff. Only people who want action packed non stop films like Iron Eagle and Top Gun, will hate this film. Because this is history, The Battle Of Britain really happened, and theres nothing boring or uninspired about this film. Great story, decent acting and phenomenal aerial combat scenes make this, THE air combat film to see. A classic. Plus it has something that Top Gun doesn't have, accuracy.

Valkyrie is an awesome, action war drama that puts to light one of the most ambitious coups during the reign of the Nazis during the second World War. Though a flawed film, Valkyrie is a suspenseful film and is very well acted. People seem to give this film bad press because of Tom Cruise's involvement in the project. He gives performance and this is one of his best since The Last Samurai. However many film goers judge Cruise's casting due to the fact that he's a Scientologist. Just because he's part of a cult doesn't make his performance suffer. A well made and told film about the July 20th 1944 plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, Valkyrie is a terrific Thriller and will keep you on the edge of your seat. But if you feel like you'll hate this film, watch the film Der Untergang (Downfall) about the last ten days of Adolf Hitler's life. Despite all it's flaws, Valkyrie is still a pretty good history lesson, and may sp[ark an interested in reading on the actual event.

This movie is a chilling account of the meeting that occured on January 20th 1942 to discuss the final solution of the Jewish question. It's a haunting film to watch, and I have to say, a very important one to watch. One of the main reasons this film is so chilling to watch is that we see men talking openly about how to commit mass murder without any signs of remorse. The film chronicles the top secret meeting at Wannsee of top Nazi officials to discuss a means for Hitler's final answer to the Jewish question. What followed in the next hour of the meeting was a polite meeting with little debate and an evil intent. Conspiracy is a chilling account of that meeting. The film is a must watch for history buffs, and is sometimes hard to watch, but it is a very important film to watch. The cast involved do a phenomenal job at portraying these men of the third Reich who discussed and planned the mass murder of over Six million Jews. Kenneth Branagh portrays General Renhard Heydrich, second command of the SS and Stanley Tucci as Colonel Adolf Eichmann. Both actors portray these men as they were, evil. Both actors have no sense of remorse, and they feel cold blooded on screen, which they are able to pull off because they're incredibly talented actors. In the film they discuss of means of extermination, primitive to start, and even more elaborate by the end of the meeting. By the meetings close, they've decided that they will be gassing Jews in specially built shower rooms. Conspiracy is a powerful historical account of one of the greatest crimes ever devised. If you want to watch a film that goes deeper into the planning of this horrible crime, then give this one a view. This is a definite must see film for historical buffs, and could be maybe considered as necessary viewing material in history class. The film overall is a solid drama and with terrific acting, and a great script, this is a film that sheds a lot more light on the planning of the Holocaust. This film is based on the only surviving document of the January 20th 1942 meeting where 15 Nazi officials planned the unthinkable. A hard, but necessary film to watch.

Der Untergang is a terrific look at the last ten days of Adolph Hitler. This a well acted, and directed drama / war film with a great cast. A brilliant and dramatic film der untergang is a film about the fall of Hitler's Third Reich, and what makes this film such a powerful viewing is that its a film film told by Germans. Bruno Ganz is superb in the role of Adolph Hitler, and he truly brings the man alive in his portrayal. What makes Downfall such a unique viewing experience is that it tells the story on Hitler's side of things, something that most film studios never gave too much attention to. Here we get a film about a once powerful man whos quickly losing the war and he's losing his mind. Downfall doesn't sympathize with Hitler, it just gives a harrowing, and disturbing look into his failed final days.

The Hurt Locker is by far one of the best war films since Black Hawk Down. The film is a tense, thrilling war film that follows an EOD (Explosive Ordinance Disposal unit) in Iraq. A film thats a bit inaccurate, it does however portray the madness of war very well. I spoke to a lot of people about the film and most people told me they hated the film because it was too stressfull. That just shows the unrelenting power of this film. Kathryn Bigelow makes another terrific film with The Hurt Locker. Bigelow has an amazing vision, and she won a well deserved Oscar. The Hurt Locker redeems the War genre after Paul Gross's travesty, Passchendaele or as I would call it, Passionfail. The Hurt Locker is a phenomenal achievement. People seem to hate the film do to it dragging on and being too "boring" well this isn't no action packed war film. In The Hurt Locker you get a constant feel on tension and anxiety that doesn't let go. the film is definitely unerving and withing the first ten minutes of the film, you'll see my point exactly. Jeremy Renner gives a tremendous performance and so do the rest of the cast. Bigelow's documentary filming style of the film adds to the shear realism and you feel like your on the battlefield with those guys. Whatever your thought on The Hurt Locker may be, this is one of the most original and best war films since Black Hawk Down. For people to hate this film, it's very understandable because, unlike any other war film, this is one of the few that brings you so close to the combat zone. The filming style is a result of that. A truly original and groundbreaking war film. Kathryn Bigelow has crafted a phenomenal war film, a film though inaccurate, displays a strong sense of tension and feel of a combat zone. The Hurt Locker is a superb film and a very well executed war picture.

I don't know how Quentin Tarantino will ever make a better film than Inglourious Basterds. This is Tarantino's best work since Pulp Fiction. I waited patiently for a year to see this film and when it finally came out, I went to see it and was blown away. Christoph Waltz delivers one of the best performances as Col Hans Landa and Brad Pitt is also amusing as Lt. Aldo Raine. Quentin Tarantino has crafted another phenomenal film, and everything you'd expect from a Tarantino film is here. This film is vintage Tarantino, it's got clever, witty dialogue, stylized violence a terrific soundtrack and touches of dark humour. Don't watch this film expecting a lot of action, expect a Quentin Tarantino film, and if you've seen Pulp Fiction you'll know exactly what I mean by that. Inglourious Basterds is the finest film by Quentin Tarantino in a long time. As with every one of Tarantino's films, the plot is richly detailed, the acting is superb, the characters are memorable and theres of course stylized violence. I have viewed Quentin Tarantino's previous films, Kill Bill and Death proof; both are good films. However, Inglourious Basterds tops both films by a long shot. Tarantino pays Tribute to the similar titled Enzo G. Castelari in name only. Castelari's original film opened the door for many different storylines to be written about a squad of Americans killing Nazis. In Tarantino's case, Jewish soldiers getting a little payback. Like every other film by Quentin Tarantino, Inglourious Basterds is a superbly crafted film that definitely entertains. Some scenes do drag on, but in the end, it doesn't matter due to the solid cast of actors. This is a new vision by master Quentin Tarantino, a film that showcases what his vision of World War II would be. Tarantino definitely knows how to entertain an audience, and with Basterds he serves up his most epic, boldness and ambitious film yet. Along with Pulp Fiction, Inglourious Basterds will most likely be seen as one of his best films. I'm definitely looking forward to Tarantino's next film, and I keep on wondering how will he be able to top this one?

Title inspiration to Quentin Tarantino's war epic, Inglourious Bastards is a macaroni combat film with a Dirty Dozen flavor. Action packed, thrilling and lots of fun, this action classic is a fun ride from beginning to end. Though not perfect, this film is still a classic example of an 70's action flick done right. Enzo G. Castellari delivers a film that is similar to the Dirty Dozen, but that doesn't stop this film from being entertaining. This film is overlooked, and actually heard of it when Tarantino's film of the same name was released. Bare in mind that the two films only have the title in common. Anyhow, Castellari assembles some terrific talent here, Bo Svenson and Fred Williamson being the more famous names here. Inglourious Bastards is an action packed film with plenty of thrills and solidly built action scenes (considering that this is an Italian film) There are many memorable scenes including the train assault scene and the castle scene. The film for the most part succeeds on being quality entertainment, but there is of course a feeling that things could have been done better. Overall this is a good, entertaining action film that shouldn't be overlooked. This is one of the best action films of the late 70's and despite the flaws, its a fun viewing experience.

A truly masterful and powerful film. The Deer Hunter takes a look at the consequences of three friends due to the Vietnam War. A harrowing, poignant film, The Deer Hunter is a phenomenal achievement in cinema. Every actor here deliver splendid performances. Obviously the best role of all is Christopher Walken, who ended up winning an Oscar for his role in this film. The Deer Hunter conjures up a perfect picture of the real cost of war. This is a strong, and powerful film that is truly unforgettable. With a great cast at hand, Michael Cimino has made one of the most impressive war films in the history of film. A film that every war film buff will need to see.

Oliver Stone's Biopic on The Doors is somewhat an imperfect attempt at telling the story of the legendary rock band of the same name. I say imperfect because most of the events that happen in the film are exaggerated. Some of the original members have claimed that Oliver Stone has ignored their input when they were making the film for his creative liberty. What we have here is a semi fictional biopic with the facts twisted around to make the story seem more dramatic. Some events in the film never did happen. This a film that is a perfect example of what happens when you sacrifice truth for fiction. But I guess it doesn't really matter as long as the film is entertaining. The film is definitely an awesome journey through the 60's. A nostalgic piece of psychedelic rock and peace and love abound in this film as Oliver Stone takes us on an unforgettable journey of the legendary rock band. The cast that he has assembled here is great especially Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison. Kilmer deliver delivers the best performance of his career in The Doors. Val Kilmer did his own vocals for Doors songs and thats one of the high points of the film. Despite the flaws, Kilmer's acting saves this film. This isn't the best biopic on a band, but it definitely isn't the worst. The thing that may be conflicting is the fact that the film focuses more on Jim Morrison than the band itself. As far as I'm concerned, This film should have been titled differently. Besides for Kilmer the rest of cast do a fine job at portraying the real people. Even if it's not 100% accurate, and it's most definitely not, The Doors is still a pretty interesting film to watch and enjoy. I thought the film was good, but flawed, but by no means terrible. Stone is still able to paint a vivid portrait of the 1960's, and succeeds fairly well in doing so. If you're a Doors fan, check this one out. But just remember that Oliver Stone fictionalized most of the story to make this film more dramatic. If it wasn't for Val Kilmer awesome portrayal of Jim Morrison, this film would be a total faillure but it isn't.

Many films have been filmed dwelling on the subject of the Holocaust. However none has ever been really filmed on the German side. But The Boy In The Striped Pajamas takes a look at a German family directly involved in this ghastly crime. Set during the Second World War, The Boy In The Striped Pajamas is one powerful film with a great cast. The story surrounds the family of an SS officer. The son of the SS officer discovers a "farm", not knowing it's a concentration camp. He asks about it, and he is told not to go there, ignoring this he goes anyways and befriends a Jewish Boy. The young son doesn't understand that the camp is to exterminate Jews and he doesn't understand the point of Nazism, because he is too young. Whats really interesting with the film is that it takes an unbiased view of the story instead of making the family the victims. I found that the film examine the naivity of a young boy, and he doesn't understand the full facts of the situation. The film is poignant, well acted and well directed. As the boys father commands the camp, he doesn't know that his son has struck up a friendship with another young boy on the other side of the fence. He doesn't understand why the prisoners wear "pajamas." One day the father of the boy behind the fence is missing, and Bruno (the German boy) agrees to help the Jewish Boy, Shmuel find hisdad. Bruno sneaks into the camp, and because he's dressed as a prisoner he is forced to walk into the gas chamber and he is gased to death. The film is is more a childs view of the Holocaust, as the main character Bruno doesn't quite understand what his dad is really doing in the camp. In fact his father is commandant of the nearby camp. The ending, as I have just described, is of course a sad one, but in a way it a necessary one. I very much viewed the ending as a form of karma for the family of the SS commandant. The ending was in way a means to bring upon the consequences of the Holocaust to the family as their son was now a casualty in the gas chambers. A hard ending, but also necessary. The cast of the film do a terrific job and the story is incredible, The Boy With The Striped Pajamas is a very different film about the Holocaust.

Along with Backdraft, Apollo 13 is one of Ron Howards ultimate best films. The film chronicles the failed mission to the moon and the ensuing rescue attempt to bring them home. A film that is both spectacular and powerful, Apollo 13 is a superbly crafted drama film. One of things that Apollo 13 does very well is building up the tension. Obviously we all know that the astronauts came back home safely, but still there always is a feeling of tension going on throughout the film from the point where theres an explosion on board the spacecraft to the safe landing. Every time I watch Apollo 13, I get that same feeling. Ron Howard's brilliant directing makes this possible, and you always get that same feeling every time you watch it. Ron Howard has assembled a great cast of actors to portray the astronauts. Tom Hanks plays Jim Lovell, Bill Paxton plays Fred Haise and Kevin Bacon plays Jack Sigert. They play the Apollo 13 astronaut with much respect to the real astronauts who flew the near fatal mission. Gary Sinise plays Ken Mattingly, the original Command module pilot. Mattingly still plays a vital role in the story as he tries to find a way to get as much power from the crafts battery to restart the craft. Ron Howard strips away the traditional way of telling a story big Hollywood overtones. Instead, Howard tells the story of Apollo 13 like it was using fact instead of fiction. The film is very technical and rich in detail. Every aspect of the story has been covered with tremendous respect from the real life incident. Apollo 13 is a well acted, well told and well directed drama film. This is without a doubt Ron Howards best film. A powerful drama film, Apollo 13 tells a story about a failed mission, but also that it was a success due to the fact that they all came back safe. This is a film that has definitely aged well, and doesn't look dated whatsoever. A fine masterful film, Apollo 13 is a must see film, and what I appreciate the most about the film is that they didn't try to romanticize the story sort of like Titanic, they told it like fact and stayed true to the historical background of the film. The film is not cliche trite or boring. Apollo 13 remains a solid historical film that tells it like is and doesn't use a made up story to make the film seem emotionally charged. If you must watch one Ron Howard film, make it Apollo 13.

Backdraft is a near flawless action drama film. A terrific film directed by Ron Howard, Backdraft is THE firefighter film to watch. Fuck Ladder 49, this is the film to watch. The film boast equal amounts of drama and action to create a memorable film, and with a terrific cast to support this film, it truly makes Backdraft a remarkable film from Ron Howard. The special effects are amazing and The fire in this film is the real deal, it's no CGI. and it adds an atmosphere of reality to the film. The fire itself can be considered a character. Backdraft is a brilliantly directed and told film, and for me it's one of Ron Howards best films. Kurt Russell and William Baldwin play the rival McCaffrey brothers. They constantly butt heads in the film. Backdraft comprises a terrific cast including Donald Sutherland in a brief but a very memorable role as Pyromaniac Ronald Bartel. Sutherland's performance is chilling, and for the brief minutes he's on screen, he truly steals the show from bigger actors such as Robert DeNiro. The film steadily builds it's suspense as a deadly arsonist targets city officials. Ron Howard never gives into the mystery, and he effectively builds the story to an explosive action packed climax. Of all the films that Ron Howard has made, this is one of my favorite films and like I've said, this is also one of his best. The cast deliver something powerful on screen and the story is action packed with lots of drama, which adds a lot more to the initial storyline. The film doesn't suffer from overbearing cliches such as Ladder 49 tried to do. Instead Backdraft shows you exactly what it must be like to step into the shoes of a fireman. Firemen themselves have said that this is a pretty good portrait at what they do, despite of course for the fact that the film is fictional. Backdraft doesn't dwell on sentimental cliches to try to coax an audience in spilling buckets of tears when someone dies on screen. Backdraft does have drama, but it doesn't overdue it, and with a good mix of action, Backdraft is more than just a film that you should watch. This is a monumental film that delivers something great on screen. No bad cliches, just terrific action and drama mixed with great acting make this a definite must see film.

American Gangster is the incredible true story of Frank Lucas, a notorious 1970's African American drug kingpin who amassed a fortune of 260 million dollars. The film is brilliantly directed by Ridley Scott and has a raw and gritty atmosphere throughout the film. Scott does a great job at capturing the feel of Harlem in the 1970's. I am a diehard fan of gangster films and I enjoyed every minute of this film. Ridley Scott's stunning picture gives us a close look at Franl Lucas, marvelously played by Denzel Washington. This is one of his finest roles and he dominates the screen with sheer menace.. American Gangster is different type of gangster film as the focus of the story is a black heroin kingpin. I was very surprised at the fact Ridley Scott made this film. Usually he's great to making sword and sandle films and Sci Fi films, but he manages to craft a unique film. Given time, American Gangster will definitely be seen as a classic in the mafia/gangster genre of film. This is a terrific crime film because it breaks away from traditional elements that make up a good gangster flick (Italian families, for example) This focuses on an African American in the 1970's making more money than most white gangsters of that era. American Gangster is a realistic film and it depicts Frank Lucas as an apprentice of gangster Bumpy Johnson to being the most important Heroin dealer in New York. The film also takes a look at the crooked cops involved to facilitate Lucas's Illicit Drug trade. This is a solid film from start to finish that is relentlessly brutal and at times hard to watch. If you're a fan of gangster films than pick this one up. Ridley Scott has manged to craft a terrific, bold & brutal epic. In the years to come it sure will become a classic of the genre. The cast at hand definitely do a great job and the film is a solid piece of cinema. American Gangster is a gripping film that is raw, gritty and intense, but overall unforgettable.

Schindler's List is a mesmerizing film. I say mesmerizing because of the fact that this is a film about a member of the Nazi Party who aided Jews during the War. that to me had me in awe, and I don't need to explain why. Liam Neeson delivers a terrific performance as Oskar Schindler, the German industrialist who aided the Jews by offering them shelter in his factory. The story of this film is that of courage and an act so selfless that it helped save 1000 of lives. War brings out the worst out of everyone, but it also brings out the best. In the case of Oskar Schindler, it brought out the best, he saw how the Jews were treated by the Nazis, and wished to save them, not at the beginning of course, he saw them as cheap labor, only when he saw the liquidation of the Ghettos he acted in a selfless manner and he opted to help them. A poignant film right from the start, Schindler's List is one of the best drama films ever filmed. The cast assembled here is very talented, and they all deliver phenomenal performances. Obviously the best performance belongs to Liam Neeson as Schindler, but another noteworthy performance belongs to Ralph Fiennes as Amon Goeth, he is very menacing and he is absolutely despicable in bringing this sinister character to life. I say despicable because Fiennes displays such power in portraying Goeth, he really is unnerving. Schindler's List is a well made film, and all involved bring immense respect to this true story. One Steven Spielberg's finest films, and this is one cinema's greatest masterpieces. This is a film that shows the humane side of some of the worst events in the history of the 20th Century. This film will stay etched in your memory for a long time, as it's not a film that can easily be forgotten.

The Rocket is an incredible biopic about Maurice "Rocket" Richard, one of the greatest hockey players of the 1940's and 1950's. Quebec actor Roy Dupuis delivers a terrific performance as the legendary Hockey player, and the film chronicles Richard rise in the NHL to become the player he is now regarded as today. Considering that this a film from Quebec, it is a very well done film with terrific acting, a great story and directing. The film has been said that it's the best sports drama since Scorsese's Raging Bull. The Rocket may not be as masterful as Scorsese's film, but it's close. Given time, The Rocket might become a sports classic. Fans of Maurice Richard will definitely be pleased and Roy Dupuis as Maurice Richard is simply brilliant. The film does a great job at showing the hardships and successes of Maurice Richard. The Rocket is a surprising film, that I thought wouldn't deliver anything truly great, but I was very wrong. This one of the best sports dramas that I've seen and its a film that really does pay tribute to Maurice Richard. Theres really nothing I can type here, that has been said before, The Rocket shows the triumphs of Richard (winning The Stanley Cup with the Canadians) and so forth. The Rocket given time will probably find an audience, and I sure hope this film finds one bigger than the one it has right now. This is a unique sports film, very different from the other sports films out there. Great acting, and a great story make The Rocket one of the most memorable films that you can see about asports icon. Considering its a film about Maurice Richard, its a film that every hockey fan should see.

A Beautiful Mind is one of Ron Howards greatest achievements as a director. A well told, and acted film, A Beautiful Mind is a terrific drama film. Som,e people may not find it appealing, but if you're looking for a good film to watch about a man who triumphed over a serious disease, then this is the film for you. The story of John Nash is very interesting as he was able to cope with his Schizophrenia and win the Nobel Prize in economics. A very good film to watch, A Beautiful Mind is definitely one of Howards best films.

Clint Eastwood delivers yet another solid drama film. Changeling is the incredible and sad true story of the Gordon Northcott Chicken coop murders of 1928 and the disappearance of Christine Collins son. Clint Eastwood is a terrific director, and he tells a powerful story with Changeling. I've seen many of his films, and this is one of the best films he has ever directed. Eastwood has a wonderful ability to tell a poignant, dramatic story, and in Changeling he does just that. Angelina Jolie plays Christine Collins, who's son, Walter has been kidnapped. No one knows who did, but Walter mysteriously reappears. The corrupt police officials tell her it's her son, but do to the fact that Walter is circumcised (the real one isn't) She goes out of her way to try to find her son, and expose the corruption and incompetence of the LAPD. She is aided by Rev. Gustav Briegleb who has spent his time exposing the corruption of the LAPD. Christine Collins is later committed to a mental hospital. It's only later till the truth about Walter's Kidnapping comes out. Walter Collins has been kidnapped by Gordon Stewart Northcott. Clint Eastwood's basis for Changeling is the Winnville Chicken Coop Murders of 1928. Changeling is a very interesting story. Eastwood has crafted a unique drama film with a sense of mystery to it. Angelina Jolie gives the best performance of her career (if you look at her track record, you'll know what I'm talking about) John Malkovich gives a stunning performance as well. Changeling is an amazing drama film, but it's hard to watch due to the subject matter. However if you're looking for a well told story with great acting, and directing; then Changeling is a must see. This is one of Clint Eastwood's best efforts as a director, and it shows that he still has plenty of tricks up his sleeve to tell a good story on film.

October Sky ins the best feel good movie ever made. One of the things thats great about the film is the film doesn't go over board in it's sentimentality. Never does it feel overly sentimental, corny or embarrassing. This is the type of film that you will definitely feel good right after watching it. You really sympathize with the characters because they are brilliantly played by the cast. I can't recall the number of times I've seen this film, but it's at least over a dozen times. Unlike other family films that try to be overly sentimental just for the sake of being family friendly and to appeal to a bigger audience. October Sky has something that separates it from other feel good films, and thats a very good story, and I mean good. October Sky is the true story of Homer Hickam a teenager who spots the Sputnik satellite and who decides to built his own rocket and enter the science fair. His dad is highly against it, and wants him to work in the mine. Homer has other ideas. October Sky is really a story about accomplishing your dreams, and achieving the impossible. This is simply an incredible story about perseverance and determination and unlike other feel good films, this is a true story, and the way it's told on film is beautiful. The film is brilliantly directed by Joe Johnson, director of Jumanji, and he crafts yet another great film. October Sky is a well acted film, the actors here are incredible and this was one of Jake Gyllenhaal's first staring roles, and is just the right person for this role. Also a performance that is equally great is Chjris Cooper as Homer's father who opposes Homer's dreams. Both actors electrifying as they butt heads on screen as we see their conflicting ideas unfold. Chris Cooper is fine and underrated actor, and this is the first film that I've seen that exposed me to his work. October Sky is a solid feel good film and like I said, this is one of the best too. A fine cast upholds this film, and Johnson has got a fine script at hand. and because of that, the film works very well. The beauty part about this film is that this is the type of film that will stay with you long after you've seen it, and everyone can take something positive away from it. A fine film that in one word can be summarized as beautiful.

E.T was a childhood favorite of mine. Steven Spielberg's classic of a homesick alien is a masterpiece of cinema. In my youth I must have watched this film more than thirty times. The appeal of this film like no other family film. This is one of the best films that you can watch with your family and truly experience something special. This is a classic, and E.T has stood the test of time. I re watched this film a couple of months back, and the film still appealed to me after all these years. This is a special film with a terrific young cast. Spielberg delivers another splendid Alien film. Just when you thought that Close Encounters Of The Third Kind was great, he managed to equal the greatness of that film with E.T. This is the type of film that will appeal to people of all ages because it's simply a terrific story. The film is not really your typical family film, sure it has all the common elements, but what separates this film from the rest is that the film doesn't treat kids like kids, or adults like kids. Steven Spielberg gives us a fine film with an ambitious, yet simple story. Whats great about E.T is that it's the type of film you watch to revisit your childhood. I know re watching it, it brought back a lot of great memories from childhood. This is a superb film, one Spielberg's best. Everything about the film is masterful, the directing, the story, the music score, the cast is perfect. All of them shine and they're incredible to see on screen. The film will definitely make you feel good, make you laugh, cry or other emotions. E.T is one fine film and is a classic of the Sci Fi genre as well as the family genre. This film is a must watch for the entire family, it is the perfect family film and is one of the best genre has to offer. As an adult, this film brings back memories and when watched it didn't feel childish in any way. Thats the beauty of E.T it will definitely appeal to anyone. A must see classic that has stood the test of time and hasn't aged a bit, it's film now as it was when I was a kid. If you haven't seen this timeless masterpiece, then stop reading this review and go rent it, you won't regret it.

How can you forget the voiece "if you built it, he we will come." Normally I don't tend to like baseball films all that much, as I'm not a big fan of the game. But on some occasions I'll like a baseball flick, this one and The Sandlot were the one that I always found the best. Both are classics, and both are fun. Field Of Dreams is one of the best feel good films that I've seen. The story is quite simple, but the film is very powerful, and is hard to get away. Based on W.P Kinsella's novel, Shoeless Joe; Field Of Dreams. The story follows farmer Ray Kinsella. One day Kinsella hears a voice "if you built it, he will come." Ray Kinsella sets out to build a baseball field. At First, Kinsella's attempt at obeying the voice seem in vain, as no one comes to the field. A mountain of debt piles up for Kinsella due to the fact that he plowed down half his crop of corn to build the baseball field. But then Shoeless Joe Jackson shows up on the field one night. Shoeless Joe is one of seven who banned from professional baseball due to the 1919 Black Sox scandal. After the initial encounter with Shoeless Joe, he asks Ray Kinsella to invite the other six players who were banned. Thus starts a magical journey of redemption and making dreams happen. This such a terrific film to watch. The story is very well told and doesn't feel too sentimental. Field Of Dreams won't appeal to everyone as this isn't your typical feel good film. The cast here is terrific, Kevin Costner plays probably his best role of his career and Burt Lancaster gives a splendid last performance. Amy Madigan's character is quite irritating, but she manages to portray an ex hippie very well (auditorium scene). Amy Madigan though annoys me in the film, even though she gives a good performance. The story is filled with moving scenes and is a film that can make the impossible happen. This is a terrific film to watch with the entire family, and many people who watch it can take something away with them. This is definitely of the best feel good films around.

A biopic on Charlie "Bird" Parker, Clint Eastwood crafts this film as a labor of love. His love for Jazz music is apparent with this film, and its a well told and acted biopic. Clint Eastwood has tremendous flair in telling a great story, and he tells Charlie Parker's story with knowledge on the subject matter at hand. The film is dark and sad. Parker lived a sad life and this is what unfolds on the film. Bird is a terrific biopic on a tremendously talented musician. This is one of the best biopics I've seen seen. As a diehard fan of Heavy Metal and rock music, I thoroughly enjoyed something different such as a film about a Jazz musician. If you want a terrificbiopic on a tremendous musician, then Bird is for you.

Catch Me If You Can is the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr, a professional con artist. Abagnale is a brilliant forger as well, and he impersonated a doctor a lawyer and aco pilot all before he reached the age of 21. Leonardo Dicaprio plays the master con artist Frank Abagnale Jr, and Tom Hanks plays the FBI agent Carl Hanratty who pursues him. A ensuing game of cat and mouse ensues as Frank stays one step ahead at all times. Directed by Steven Spielberg, Catch Me If You Can is Spielbergs best film since Saving Private Ryan. The film is a well crafted Drama film with bits of Comedy thrown in. Frank Abignale Jr is able to pull off some impressive con before the age of 21. Catch Me If You Can is a very impressive biopic on this inventive Conman. Though departing from his standard "epics", Steven Spielberg is able to craft a film that brings has a vivid 60's atmosphere. The look of the film is brilliant, and the time the story takes in is very interesting as well. Even if the film departs from Spielbergs traditional works, Catch Me If You Can is still an accomplished effort by Spielberg. Leonardo DiCaprio is well suited for the part, and it's very interesting to see him and Tom Hanks butt heads throughout the film. A very intelligent film thats a lot of fun, sad, and comical at the same time. After you've seen it, you'll probably be impressed with the wit that Frank Abignale Jr displayed before his 21 birthday to Con his way in a life of excitement. A different, but still very good film by Spielberg.

Road To Perdition is a different type of gangster film. Starring Tom Hanks and directed by American Beauty director Sam Mendes, Road To Perdition follows a mob Hit man played by Tom Hanks who's son witnesses one of his hits, he is placed at a crossroads. Choosing between his family or his employers. When one of Sullivans (Hanks) colleagues murders his family, the decision has clearly been made. I thoroughly enjoyed this film because it's a drastic departure from previous gangster films, which is a breath of fresh air. Tom Hanks delivers a terrific performance, and director Sam Mendes has an eye on the period pieces which really come through on film. The film has a good emphasis on storytelling with a few bits here and there of action. The film is slowly paced to let the story unfold. A terrific film that will appeal to fans of old school gangster films, Road To Perdition is a film that takes a different approach to the gangster genre and in doing so, it's a step above the usual. A work of originality with phenomenal acting and directing, Road To Perdition is one of the best gangster films of recent memory. A different change of pace that works well because the actors involved give splendid performances and Mendes has crafted his best film since American Beauty. I would definitely put Road To Perdition on my list of favorite gangster films. What we have here is a film that successfully breaks new ground in the gangster genre and it does it very well.

Almost Famous is a phenomenal drama film. Loosely based on the life of Cameron Crowe who was a Rolling Stones journalist in his younger years, and who he traveled the world with such great acts as Led Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Almost Famous is simply put, a work brilliance, Cameron Crow has crafted something enjoyable and unique with this film, and this is one of the most memorable and best drama films of the decade. The cast that Cameron Crow has assembled here is terrific including Kate Hudson and this is Kate Hudson's best film. along with The Skeleton Key. Not just Kate Hudson give a great performance, but so does Patrick Fugit and Billy Crudup. With these great actors, Cameron Crowe has crafted a terrific film that tells the story of a band that tries to make it big. What follows for aspiring journalist William Miller is a taste of the rock n roll lifestyle. Almost Famous does a great job and conveying the hardships and good times of an up and coming band. What I love about this film is that you feel connected to many of the main characters, and for a drama film, I find that very rare. Almost Famous is a well made film with a great story, and even better acting. This cast really makes this film soar. Almost Famous is one of the most original drama films that I've seen in a long time. This is one of the most stunning films that I've seen and is simply gold.

Capote is the incredible true story of writer Truman Capote who researched and wrote the first non-fiction book, In Cold Blood. This book set new standards in the literary world. In his novel, Truman Capote documents the brutal murder of the Clutter family in Holcomb Kansas, a small farming community in 1959. In the film, Truman Capote befriends the population of Holcomb and initially intends to write an article on the matter. He soon realizes he has too much source material for a single article, and decides to write a book on the tragic events. With the Help of fellow friend and author Nelle Harper Lee (author, To Kill A Mockingbird) they set out to do research for Capote's work. It's not long after that the killers are captured, and after a swift trial, are condemned to death. After the trial Capote tries to discuss and get information about the night of November 15th, 1959. The film is a brilliant work of drama. The entire cast do a phenomenal job and the film is simply one of the best works in the drama genre in a long time. Phillip Seymour Hoffman gives one of his greatest performances here, and he's played some terrific parts in the past, but in Capote he delivers something truly unique. Director Brennett Miller tells a compelling story, and the film owes much to it's grandeur with it's incredible cast of talented actors. Capote is a film that shows the conflicted side of an incredibly talented writer. In the film we are shown how the case of the Clutter family, and ensuing research came to affect Truman Capote, and as a result, he never finished another book. Capote is a brilliantly told film, and Hoffman definitely deserved the Oscar for best actor. For me Capote is a work of sheer brilliance and is definitely a well told film. Other reviewers have praised the cinematography, which of course is breathtaking, but the aspect of this film that truly surpasses any filming method is the brilliant story telling and acting by the actors. Director Brennett Miller has told a masterful story and he is a terrific director. Capote is proof of that.

The Pursuit of Happyness is like every other rags to riches story. The only difference is, that this is based on a true story, where most of these types of films would be fiction. This is the true story of Chris Gardner a down on his luck salesman who tries to make ends meet for his family. Gardner faces some hard times as he is forced into homelessness after being evicted from his apartment. Chris Gardner applies for a stockbroker internship, and slowly but surely he is able to find his way. Will Smith portrayal as Chris Gardner is phenomenal and I loved his departure from the usual action films he stars in, this was a different type of role for him, and he pulled it off very well. Pursuit Of Happyness is a poignant film, but it does manage to make you feel good by the films closing. Most importantly, it doesn't try to manipulate your emotions. This is a film that does have a few comical moments to ease the sadness of the overall film. A very heartwarming film, The Pursuit Of Happyness is the true story of Chris Gardner who seeked a better life for himself and his son, and in the end he succeeded in doing just that. This is one of Smith's best films, and for me, at least it shows that he's able to branch in other genres of film other than action. I'm not normally impressed with Will Smith, but as Chris Gardner he's perfect. Director Gabriele Muccino's Hollywood debut as a director is an impressive uplifting drama about seeking to pursue a better life. Though not a perfect film by any means, Happyness still manages to be a well acted film with a solid plot. It's very uplifting to see the character, Chris Gardner go from being down on his luck to heading down the right path for a better life. Unlike most feel good films, The Pursuit Of Happyness doesn't feel sappy or corny due to Will Smith impressive performance. A terrific film with a great message.

I have never seen a film with such a powerful message as American History X. Unlike most films dealing with race issues (Spike Lee films for the most part) American History X obviously attacks the racial problem without feeling preachy. Tony Kaye's film is a very powerful study in race issues in America. The film explores the cost of racism of a family that has dealt with the issue. Derek Vineyard is a reformed skinhead trying to go straight after he is released from prison after a hate crime involving him killing three Crip gang members. His Brother Danny is in awe of his brother, and starts following in his footsteps. Now Derek must save his brother before it's too late. Edward Norton deserved an Oscar for his portrayal of Derek Vinyard. The transformation he undertakes from racist skinhead to reformed skinhead is impressive, the way Norton plays both sides of the character is phenomenal. This is one of his best roles. American History X is an excellent thought provoking film about the negativity of racism and the price it costs. A strong message is conveyed within the film. The subject matter is a hard one, and the film is an unrelenting, brutal wake up call. The story is a about a reformed skin head trying to prevent his younger brother to go down the same path. A truly intense film to watch, American History X is also a very important one to watch. The subject matter is controversial, but really I think that this film is a much needed kick in the ass that people need to stop hating. This film is supported by a very good cast of actors, and the standout performance here is truly Edward Norton who shines and plays the part of skin head and reformed skin head beautifully well. Brutal, but necessary; American History X will definitely open your eyes and provoke some thoughts on the issue of racism. A film not to miss. American History X is the most important film on racism since 1988's Mississippi Burning. A very intense masterwork dealing with an important issue.

Though Christopher Nolan's The Prestige was the big film dealing with magic in 2006, its competitor The Illusionist released the same year, is a well crafted film in the same style, but very different. Edward Norton yet again delivers an electrifying performance as illusionist Eisenheim. The Illusionist is a strong film with top notch performances aside from Norton. A surprisingly good performance is that of Jessica Biel as Duchess Sophie Von Teschen. She delivers the best performance of her career. The Illusionist is a strong film with a story full of twists and turns. The plot is surprising and its never what you really expect. Its really hard to compare The Illusionist with The Prestige because they're two totally different films. But The Illusionist is a totally different story than The Prestige despite the fact that it uses magic as a plot device. The story here is incredible, beautiful, mysterious and suspenseful. People have said this is predictable, but I beg to defer. I thought the story had plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing till the very end. The Illusionist is a very entertaining film with a strong cast and despite the fact its a lesser film than The Prestige, this is still a worthy film to watch and enjoy. The Illusionist is one of Edward Norton's best films and also the fact that it shows Jessica Biel giving a great performance gives her a lot more credibility as an actress. A must see film that brings on great amounts of thrills and mystery.

Milk is the story of the first openly gay man elected in public office. For me, I view this film not as a gay film, but as a civil rights film. Sure Harvey Milk fought for gay rights, but in doing so he gave hope to the minorities (Disabled people, colored people, elderly and mentally ill people) The thing that stuck with me the most about this film is Milk had the courage to do whats right, courage that ultimately cost him his life. This film is a story about courage and as a person with a disability, it definitely gave me hope to fight on injustices. Sean Penn and the rest of the cast were great and gave terrific performances. A stunning film that should be viewed more as a civil rights film than a "gay" film.

The New World is a terrific historical drama film based on the Pocahontas. Terrence Malick directs this awesome epic. Everything about this film is breathtaking. The scope is massive, the pacing done just right. This is the type of film that slowly unfolds it's story, which is something that won't appeal to many. But to those who want to watch a superior historical piece, then The New World is the film for you to watch. The cast that Mallick has assembled here is phenomenal. Especially an unknown actress by the name Q"orianka Kilcher whos beauty lights up the screen in every scene shes in. As a diehard history buff, I absolutely enjoyed this film. Everything about the film is almost magic in a sense. Theres a sense and feel of love on screen constantly as you are pulled into The New World. This film is purely, and simply beautiful. A flawless historical drama.

Mystic River is one of the best Clint Eastwood directed films I have ever seen. A story of Drama and Suspense, Mystic River is a top notch film. This film is one of Eastwood's Masterpieces and displays a terrific cast. Sean Penn and Tim Robbins are superb in this film and they really did deserve the Oscars they were nominated for. A powerful film from start to finish; Mystic River is a skilled drama mystery that truly delivers. This is a film not to be missed. A shocking roller coaster of emotional power. Mystic River is definitely one of Clint Eastwood's very best films. Told by a man that knows exactly how to build tension and drama, Mystic River is one of the best films in this genre of cinema. Simply put it's a work of dramatic brilliance on screen.

Frequency is one of director Gregory Hoblit's very best films, starring Jim Caviezel and Dennis Quaid, this film has a very interesting and unique plot. The main discovers an old radio, and starts to play with it, then theres his dads voice receiving at the other end. The only thing is, is that his father is dead. Main character John Sullivan is able to talk to his dad from the past via the radio, the voice at the other end is his dad living in 1969, thus the radio is some kind of transmitter that Sullivan can use to time travel, and talk. Using the radio, John manages to warn of his dads impending death, but with everything he tries to fix from his broken past, theres consequences in the future, so John and his dad try to fix and alter the past to fix the future. Using the whole Ham radio idea as some kind of time travel device was pretty original, and the whole film for me anyways was a very interesting concept. I thought that Frequency was a well crafted film with a terrific story and great acting from Caviezel and Quaid. The film is an overall mix of drama, suspense and mystery. This is a well written film, and I strongly believe that this film is yet another example of why Gregory Hoblit is a terrific director. Yet he doesn't get the attention he deserves. Frequency is a definite must see film, and the plot is so original that you can forgive the plot holes. This is terrific entertainment and a very original story about a son and a father getting a second chance by fixing the past. I didn't think that this film would be that great, I was pleasantly surprised and it exceeded my expectations. Every director in their careers make one incredible film that defines everything that they've done, in the case of Gregory Hoblit it's Frequency. Frequency is his finest film and is a very solid piece of film making.

I thought The Reader was a very twisted film. If you know the plot of the film, you'll know why I say it's twisted. I'm not saying the film bad, it's excellent and terrific. The story is very interesting and the cast is great, but the plot is messed up.What I mean is that the film is not confusing, but the plot is wow. a Young man one summer has an affair with a woman, who years later encounters in court hearing where she is being judged for being part of the SS during the Second World War. I thought that was messed up, but very interesting thing at the same. I don't view The Reader as a chick flick, because it dwells on a dark subject, and it's too dark to be just another story. Really, the affair in the film was strong for one summer, thats it. The thing I loved about The Reader was that it took a completely different direction than any other "love story" at first I thought it was going to be justa typical cliched love story. Boy was I wrong. This film combines elements of love story, but it doesn't long, it's more a fling than anything. The second half of the film is a well structured, courtroom thriller with drama and suspense. The Reader is a terrific film with a solid story, a great cast of actors and great directing. I always enjoy Ralph Fiennes and Kate Winslet gives the performance of her career. She's come a long way since her days of Titanic, she's truly matured as an actress. The Reader is a refreshing drama and it will surprise the skeptics that think its just another love story. The film is strongly acted and despite it being slow, the story is so intriguing that you don't care that the film sort of drags on a bit. Also some reviews have pointed out that the film they tried to make the film to make Hanna Schmitz look sympathetic and the victim. I felt nothing for that character, no sympathy or empathy. I didn't think the film was about making Schmitz the victim, I though it more about showing her as a criminal, and thats what the film is about. People who think that Schmitz is the victim don't get the point of the film, I though Ralph Fiennes character was the victim because Schmitz played him like a fool, and lied to him throughout the film. The films takes an unbiased point of view on both main characters which I think is important.

Close Encounters Of The Third Kind is one of the greatest Sci Fi films ever made. Steven Spielberg tells this awesome and spectacular tale, and it could only be told by a master filmmaker such as Spielberg. The film contains many mysteries and thrills and is a remarkable and breathtaking viewing experience. Richard Dreyfuss is terrific as Roy Neary. Steven Spielberg definitely assembled a fine cast of actors elevating the films strong story. Close Encounters is truly a film not to be missed and the visuals are stunning, the story combines Drama with mystery and Spielberg has crafted one of his greatest films. A must watch, and a true classic. Close Encounters Of The Third Kind is a timeless classic. and Spielberg tells an incredible story without really using anything that great. I mean, the plot is fairly simple, yet so effective. Spielberg manages to keep you intrigued right up to the end, and this is one of the things that makes this film so grand. While using so little, Steven Spielberg plays with your imagination and thus he manages to captivate you on his journey as Aliens communicate with the human species. With Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, Steven Spielberg breaks new boundaries of the Sci Fi medium. Instead of the traditional evil alien race, in Encounters Spielberg gives us a friendly non hostile race of alien beings. I personally that was a nice touch, and this concept has recently been redone with District 9 directed by Neill BloomKamp. Both films have broken new ground, and doesn't use the usual cliche of Alien space invaders out to destroy the earth. Close Encounters Of The Third Kind is a marvelous epic film told by a master filmmaker. This is one of Steven Spielbergs greatest achievements and has stood the test of time as a phenomenal classic of the genre. But one of the reasons the film holds up so well today is the great cast involved, Richard Dreyfuss, Francois Truffaut, Terri Garr and Melinda Dillon. Along with the great cast, the terrific story, and great special effects elevate this film as probably the greatest Sci Fi film ever made.

The Godfather is one of the greatest films in cinematic history. This is a spectacular crime drama. Francis Ford Coppola directs this stellar film. Based on Mario Puzo's novel of the same name, The Godfather remains one of the greatest crime films ever filmed. A true masterpiece, The Godfather is still impressive nearly 40 years after it's initial release. Marlon Brando and Al Pacino give stunning performances. The Godfather is the ultimate mafia / gangster film, it's in a league of it's own. The film follows the Corleone crime family and the violence that unfolds in the mafia underworld. A film not to be missed, The Godfather is a thrilling, dramatic and violent look at the mafia underworld. A true classic and masterpiece. The Godfather is a definite milestone in cinema, and remains one of the greatest crime films ever made. If you are going to watch one gangster film, make it this one. A stellar cast with a great story make this one a truly unique epic. This is a film that has some of the greatest scenes ever filmed. For example, the horses head scene, Michael Corleone gunning down Sallozo and McClusky in the restaurant, Sonny's death. The list goes on. Francis Ford Coppola has made the definitive mafia film. If you've never seen The Godfather before, do yourself a favor and rent it. If you adore epic cinema, then this is the film for you. I could go on and on about how great this film is. This film has been largely unmatched in the genre, there's been a few great ones as well that has come close to the epic scope of this film, and a few do. Most notably, Goodfellas and Once Upon A Time In America. However, The Godfather will always remain the king of gangster mafia films because of it's many legendary scene and quotes. A film staring the now legendary Al Pacino and the start of his career showcases the power he has as an actor, and this film proved it. Coppola has definitely assembled a unique cast here, one that truly delivers a unique film experience that you will never forget. Love it or hate it, The Godfather's legacy speaks for itself.

The Godfather Part II is a terrific example of a sequel that lives up to the original. Sequels as good or better than the original films are very rare, and uncommon. But The Godfather Part II succeeds where many sequels have failed. Being better than the original and building on an already strong story established in the first film. With this sequel, Coppola focuses on the rise of Vito Coreleone in the criminal underworld. Or as he's known at the beginning of the film, Vito Andolini. Vito Corleone is portrayed this time around by Robert De Niro, who elevates the role to a whole new level of excellence. Two great actors have portrayed the character, and both Brando and De Niro have delivered in their performances as Don Corleone. A terrific film from Francis Coppola, The Godfather much like the novel is faithfully adapted to screen, many elements of the novel are inserted on screen such as the rise of Michael Corleone as the new Don of the Corleone family. A sequel that delivers everything you'd expect, with some of the most memorable scenes ever put on film, The Godfather Part II is one of the greatest sequels ever filmed. Coppola does a masterful job wit this sequel. He delivers a film thats more epic, more poignant and more melancholic than the first. A unique crime film, this is probably one of the best ever filmed, with a strong cast and strong story, who can disagree? If you haven't seen this epic crime film, do yourself a favor and rent it, you will be blown away by the second part of the Corleone saga.

Considering the first two Godfather films are legendary masterworks in cinema, the third film in the Corleone crime saga is a bit of a disappointment. The film lacks the sheer power and intensity of the first two films. The film is almost a dud, and despite it's legendary title, The Godfather Part III is an average film in the thrilling Corleone crime sage. Al Pacino manages to keep this film afloat, but Sofia Coppola takes it down a notch. This is a real shame because the first two films were so excellent. The only thing that was really entertaining about this film are the mob hits, which are creative and thrilling. The Death of Michael Corleone seems uninspired, and it seems that Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzo were struggling to think up of a good story. For this third film, this was the best that they could come up with. An average end to a phenomenal saga. I believe that this third entry is weaker because the first two films, especially the second film in the trilogy was so great that how can you top one of the best sequels ever made? You can't you simply can't. All the trademarks which made the first two films great are here, but it's evident theres something missing. Everytime I watch the Thod Godfather I and II, I always ask myself do I want to watch this one again? I then say to myself, why not. The film completes the Corleone Saga. Maybe not the best, but not the worst.But considering this is a Godfather film, Coppola and Puzo could have at least rewritten a few parts, and reviewed the script a few more times to at least try to make this a somewhat better film. For all the flaws it has, The Godfather Part III is still enjoyable even though its not as epic as it's predecessor. Watchable, but you'll feel disappointed a bit in the end.

Aside from the original Star Wars, 2001 A Space Odyssey is one of the greatest Sci Fi epics ever filmed. Stanley Kubrick has crafted one of his greatest masterworks with 2001. Kubrick broke new ground in the Sci Fi genre with this film. He starts with the Dawn Of man towards the age of space travel and exploration. The first thing that grabs your attention of Kubrick's film is the cinematography and overall visual style of the picture. 2001 is not a film for everyone, as most people would find this film boring, and stupid, but this film is so epic and grand that you can easily forget about how slow it is. Stanley Kubrick has made some truly unique films in his career, and like Sergio Leone, despite his short filmography has made a significant impact on cinema, 2001 A Space Odyssey is one of his most masterful films. One of the things that I thought was also great about this film was the use of classical music during the scenes in space. I thought it added to the mystery and beauty to outer space, and it was a cleaver touch. The special effects, are great, considering this was made in 1968. With 2001, Kubrick delivered something totally new and refreshing for the Sci Fi genre, he truly revolutionized the genre and he expanded what you could do in the genre and inspired other filmmakers to explore different concepts of the genre. This film, I read inspired George Lucas with Star Wars and inspired Spielberg with Close Encounters. 2001 A Space Odyssey despite where you stand on the film (either you love it, or hate it) I think it's legacy as one of the greatest films ever made. And if you don't like an epic like this, that makes you think and question what you see on screen, you can easily go watch a Michael Bay no brainer action film, because films by a master like Kubrick should be treasured and viewed only by the true film enthusiasts.

The Wrestler is by far Mickey Rourkeès best performance. A sad story about a washed up wrestler, This is a terrific drama film with a great cast including Evan Rachel Wood in the role of Stephanie Robinson, ickey Rourk's daughter in the film. Another highlight inThe Wrestler is Marisa Tomei who gives one of the greatest performances of her career. This is a fine drama film about a man who lost everything, and regain something. This is a phenomenal film with great acting, storytelling and directing. This is a film for true film enthusiasts as this won't appeal the common film goer who views the same Will Farrell bullshit every friday night. This is a terrific film that shouldn't be missed!

The World's Fastest Indian is yet another well done feel good movie. The film tells the story of Burt Munro who seeked to break a land speed record on his 1920 Indian Scout. A film that focuses on one mans determination to accomplish his goal, The World's Fastest Indian is yet another terrific film from talented director Roger Donaldson (Thirteen Days), this is a film about Munro's trip to the Bonneville Salt Flats to break the record he so desired. Along the way, he befriends many people, and despite the fact that odds are against him, he persevere's and ultimately achieves his goal. Anthony Hopkins gives a great performance as Burt Munro. This is an incredible story of determination and perseverance. Over the course of late 60's till his death, he set many land speed records on his Indian Scout motorcycle. Roger Donaldson makes yet another terrific film, and with Anthony Hopkins on board, The World's Fastest Indian is a superb achievement. Hopkins delivers one of his best performances since he played Hannibal Lector in Silence Of The Lambs. The film is amusing, comical and sometimes sad, but it never feels like Burt Munro will fail. Despite a bit of misfortune, he manages to keep his head high, and succeed in setting his record. The World's Fastest Indian is a terrific film with a great story and acting. This is one of Roger Donaldson's finest films, and he always manages to make terrific films with an interesting story. This yet another great film with a story that will inspire the believers and dreamers ever. A very entertaining film with a great cast, make The World's Fastest Indian a film definitely worth watching. Another great film for Anthony Hopkins.

Blow is the real life story of drug dealer George Jung (played by Johnny Depp). The film chronicles George's exploits from a small time marijuana dealer to one of the most important Cocaine dealers in America. An intense drama film this incredible true story is directed by director Ted Demme, who himself died a few years ago due to a cocaine overdose. Blow is a rivetting film about the golden age of cocaine smuggling, and dealing. George Jung managed to be in league with Pablo Escobar, the most notorious criminal who ever lived. With the Mendelin Cartel, George Jung amassed a large fortune in cocaine sales. Blow tells about his rise from a small town boy to his rise in the criminal underworld to his eventual arrest. An incredible film with a terrific cast this is a truly unique film. Depp is in top form as George Jung, and director Ted Demme's casting choices are well done. This is a terrific drama with many poignant moments. Mostly when George's parents were in a state of disbelief with his choice, those were very powerful scenes. I admit the film could have been better, and at times it felt a tad over acted, but in the end; the film worked well enough to keep me entertained. This a film that isn't for everyone, and some may find it quite uninteresting or others may find it boring. However this is a very good film with a good story, great acting and good acting. I believe that the reason this film works so well is because of the cast, and when you have a cast this good, you're film can be better than what the filmmakers want their films to be. In the case of Blow, thats exactly it. The cast makes this film very watchable, and the story is very interesting to boot. You have two strong elements, you have a good film.

The film adaptation of Winston Groom book, is actually better than the book. The book itself is one of the worst books that I have ever read, and once I've read it, I couldn't understand how they were able to make such a terrific film with such a bad book. But with the film adaptation of Forrest Gump, they made truly something unique, and it makes you forget the book altogether. Robert Zemeckis has assembled here a phenomenal cast of talented actors. All of them portray their characters in such a memorable way that you are swept away and you are totally involved in the film. This is one of the best feel good films ever made, and Robert Zemeckis delivers something incredible despite the mediocre novel. He takes the book and basically rewrote it, and created this film. As far as the cast goes, Tom Hanks, Robin Wright Penn, Sally Field and Gary Sinise deliver something great on screen. Forrest Gump is an incredible film about an ordinary man who goes on to do the impossible. After this film, Zemeckis was pretty hit and miss. However with this one, he scored something great. Forrest Gump is definitely a classic and it's also a film that should be enjoyed by everyone, this is a film not to miss. The cast brings the colorful characters to life and they do a remarkable job at doing so, and they make you want to rewatch this film again and again.

K-19 is a masterful submarine film. No such sub film since Das Boot conveys a sense of drama and helplessness like K-19. Kathryn Bigelow has assembled a great cast of actors here, and Harrison Ford delivers one of his greatest performances since the 1980's. Bigelow's directing is flawless, the tension on screen unfolds so well in her hands. K-19 Is a terrific film and the cast make this film soar. A film filled with suspense, tension, thrills and drama, this is one of the best since Wolfgang Peterson's Das Boot. Maybe not as masterful, but this film heads into the right direction. It may be viewed in the years to come as a great submarine film. Because it really is. A film thats seriously underrated, K-19 may find an audience in the future. Bigelow displays great skills in telling a great story, and delivered a monumental film with K-19.

Defiance is a great film that tells the story of four Jewish Brothers who escape the clutches of the Nazi regime. They hide out in the Belarussian forest and join the resistance and seek helping other Jews. Defiance is a film that shows the true value of courage. The film is highly underrated because people have expected a full blown war film in the style of Saving Private Ryan. This is not the case with Defiance. For that, the film has gotten a lot of flack. I, on the other hand really enjoyed it, as it is a different type of war film. I enjoy something different. This film shows common brothers joining a resistance movement, while protecting a couple of Jews. That sparked by interest because they're are not many films on the resistance during WWII, no less on Jewish Brothers who join a resistance movement. To me, I thought it was a great story idea, and the film was great. The cast involved bring something terrific on screen. This is one of the best films that Daniel Craig has ever played in, and he truly delivers something unique on screen. He's in a performance that you won't easily forget. Edward Zwick directs Defiance with style and he really does deliver a film that shows what common people would do to survive. Edward Zwich has always been a director that tells a great story on screen. His films ooze drama, intrigue and resolve. Defiance continues that tradition. Though not Zwick's greatest film, this is still a very good film. The film is a different take on the stereotypical war film, which is a breath of fresh air.

This is a semi fictional made for tv movie based on the Canadian Avro Arrow. The world's first supersonic aircraft. I have read the story of the Arrow many times. During the height of the Cold War, Canada seeks to replace it's CF-100 interceptors to defend their Arctic airspace. The aircraft that they need is something so advanced that every aircraft company have turned down the contract. Minister of everything C.D Howe convinces the heads of the Canadian air force to consider Avro Aircraft. At first they say its impossible, but principle engineer Jim Chamberland comes up with a delta wing design for the aircraft. The Arrow is a well made docu-drama, and it does bring to light a lot of facts from the story. But obviously it was changed slightly to make the film more dramatic. The cast is a pretty good one, but considering the talent involved, the cast could have been better with a better script. The Avro Arrow was the most advanced aircraft in the world it was designed to intercept Russian bombers and destroy them. In the film, we get a good look at every step of the Arrow program from the optimistic beginnings to the poignant. The Arrow is a fine made for TV movie that dramatizes these events. The Arrow was the finest aircraft every made, when we Canadians designed and built it, we were 20 years ahead everyone else. Unfortunately for The Arrow, the political issues where a big speed bump for the project, and the plane never entered service. We get a glimpse of Diefenbaker's attempt at cancelling the project. Crawford Gordon (the head of Avro Canada) attempts at proving the Diefenbaker government wrong. Unfortunately The Arrow program was cancelled on February 20th, 1959. All the planes were scrapped and the employees were laid off. The ending of the film is absolute fiction as it never happened. The ending suggests that one Arrow survived scrapping and still exists. Even though this is part fiction and part fact, this made for tv film should spark interest in the real story of the Avro Arrow. Of course this flawed, but still very interesting to watch and seeing this sad but incredible story come to life on film.

A phenomenal biopic on the life of famed musician Johnny Cash. A very well crafted film from James Mangold, Walk The Line tells the story of Johnny Cash rise to fame from his childhood to his marriage to June Carter. Walk The Line is a near flawless film that will surely become a classic over time. Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon give astounding performances and they have amazing chemistry on screen. One thing thats worth mentioning is that they actually sing the songs originally sung by June Carter and Johnny Cash, and they pull it off amazingly well. Not since Val Kilmer's performance as Jim Morrison in The Doors has an actor or actress been able to deliver such an intense performance of a musician. Both performances are amazing and are some of the best ever delivered. As far as Biopics are concerned, there is nothing really new here to be had, it follows practically the same path as many other biopics of musicians. But the thing that separates this film over the standard biopics is the performances of Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. They deliver simply flawless performances. The film is of course sad, dramatic and at times funny, and the soundtrack is excellent. Viewing this film opened by mind to Johnny Cash, and I therefore respect him more as a musician. I am a metalhead, and I can honestly say that Johnny Cash is one of the most impressive and talented musicians that ever lived. Walk The Line introduced me to Cash's music, and I was very impressed with the film and the music. Walk The Line may very well introduce you to Cash's life, but also it has the power to introduce to his brand of bluegrass, Blues and Country style of music. Walk The Line is a superbly crafted biopic, one of the best that I have ever viewed and after you watch it, you'll realize why this is a top notch film. Strong performances and a great soundtrack with terrific directing make Walk The Line a superb work of drama about one of the greatest musicians to ever grace the stage.

An awesome film that blends action and dramA The Last Of The Mohicans is a one of a kind film. The film focuses on three trappers that protect a British Colonel's two daughters during the French and Indian wars.
A flawless epic, The Last Of The Mohicans is a superbly crafted film based on James Fenimore Cooper's 1826 novel of the same name. Having read the book, I much preferred this adaptation over the book. This version directed by Michael Mann has the essence of the book, but with more action. Mann's directing is as usual stunning, and the way he makes his films is why he's one of my favorite directors. Here he tells Cooper's story with a breath of fresh air, this version is stunning. Everything from the costumes, acting, film Score is beautiful. A beautiful film, this film will definitely appeal to history buffs and real film fans as a work to appreciate and cherish. As a reader of James Fenimore Cooper's original book, Michael Mann's The Last Of The Mohicans is a superior take over a mediocre book. As having read it, I can honestly say to those who want to watch this film and read Cooper's classic to skip the book and watch Mann's awesome and flawless version of an unreadable epic. Cooper may have created a stunning vision with his book, but he knew jack shit about writing books, It took me everything to finish the book, it was painful. But the film is worth it, it keeps the basic ideas of the book, but adds more depth and emotion than the book. to summarize the last paragraph, skip the book watch Michael Mann's version; more emotion, more depth and a better more developed plot. Vieweable film, not so readable book. This film is stunning, well acted and directed. In time, The Last Of The Mohicans will most likely become a film classic.

Men Of Honor is a terrific film based on the first African American Master Diver. Cuba Gooding Jr. delivers in the lead role of Carl Brashear and Robert De Niro gives a phenomenal performance as well. Brashear overcame racial tensions in the Navy to achieve his goal of becoming a master diver. Despite racist slurs yelled at by his classmates, and attempts at sabotaging his exercises, Brashear proves that he's got what it takes to make it, and he does in the face of bigotry. The only reason that I don't give this film a higher rating is because the film felt slightly cliched at times and overplayed on the sentimentality of the main character. Towards the end the film started to navigate the usual feel good film territory and it felt slightly flat. Despite this, Men Of Honor is a terrific film with a great cast of talented actors that can pull off something thats nearly flawless. De Niro and Gooding Jr. light up each scene they're in and give splendid performance. Not to mention that this is one of the strongest performances of Cuba Gooding Jr. career. A well made film despite the typical feel good ending. The ending was good, but I feel they could have tweaked it slightly to make it better, there was something missing. An entertaining film to watch, Men Of Honor is a great film that despite the flaws remains a good film to watch due to it's strong cast of actor who all deliver great performances. The ending is good, but not great. But I guess considering this is a story of not giving up, I guess this is the usual ending for such movies.

What doesn't Kill is the type of film that has been done many times before, and therefore not that original. However, I found the film to be quite entertaining. I always like films like this, even if What Doesn't Kill you is not that original, it's still pretty good. The reason that the film succeeds in my book is because of the superb acting
by Mark Ruffalo and Ethan Hawk. Both are great actors and elevate the somwhat overused story to a watchable film. What Doesn't Kill You is based on the life of first time director Brian Goodman's life of crime, and his struggle to go straight. Even though we've seen this type of film before, it feels totally different and at times original. Obviously the film is not for everyone and you may be disappointed. The fact that it's based on a true story is what seperates this from other films dealing with same subject matter. Though the script lacks originality and good structure, and the film relies almost on cliches, the cast involved makes you forget those flaws. I was so engaged by all the actors that I forgot about it's flaws. What Doesn't Kill You may rely on overused material, but it's still a good story nonetheless. I don't understand why this film has gotten so many bad reviews, It definitely isn't the worst film that I've seen. However, this film can only appeal to a certain type of audience. Mark Ruffalo and Ethan Hawk make this film better than it really is. A terrific little film, and one that doesn't deserve all the flack that it received. Theres so many films out there that use the same style of plot, and some of them get Critical acclaim (Avatar copied Dances With Wolves and Fern Gulley) People could have said that Avatar was overusing cliches, but no. What Doesn't Kill You is a good film and its far better than what most people have said about it.

I'll be honest, I'm not the biggest Oliver Stone fan. He's some great films (Platoon, Natural Born Killers) but I find that his films basically deal with the same subject. However with Wall Street he makes a very solid, and entertaining film about a Wall Street Broker, Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen) who is eager to make it big on Wall Street. The film examines Fox's relationship with Corporate raider Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) and how both men use insider trading information to make large sums of money. Only when his relationship with Gekko sours does Bud Fox destroy Gekko with his competition. Wall Street is an interesting film that takes a good look at corporate greed and how some people will do anything to gain fortunes. Brilliantly acted by Michael Douglass and Charlie Sheen, Wall Street is an effective dramatic thriller that is very suspenseful. Oliver Stone delivers a good film and the cast here are terrific. Wall Street is a well crafted film that is one of Stone's best films. If you're looking for a good, entertaining film that makes insider trading an interesting subject for a film, then Wall Street is that film. The film may not be perfect, but it delivers good entertainment and like I said it's one of Stone's best films aside from Platoon. Oliver Stone has succeeded in making a not so interesting subject entertaining for a film, and for the most part, Wall Street succeeds in deliver solid drama and thrills. A worthy film to watch for sure.

Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands is a classic. This is a well crafted film, and is one of the best films that Tim Burton has directed. The film is sad, touching and humourous. Edward Scissorhands is the type of film that makes you feel all types of emotion. The story is clever, and is unforgettable. After a mad scientist dies, his new creation is left unfinished with scissors for hands. He is discovered by an Avon sales lady named Peg Boggs. She welcomes him into her home, and discovers his name is Edward. Edward seems very shy, and scared, and he mostly is quiet. He slowly befriends the family and he takes a liking to Peggs daughter Kim Boggs, played Winona Ryder. Unfortunately for Edward, Kim has a jealous boyfriend who seeks out to harm Edward and goes out of his way to do so. The opinions of the neighbors are so-so, most don't mind him, but some some (Joyce, a gossiping neighbor) takes a liking to Edward and when Edward "attacks" her as she's coming in strong on him, she conjures up yet another story on how Edward is a threatening person. Tim Burton knows how to craft a terrific story, and Edward Scissorhands plays out like a fairy tale. A very good fairy tale at that. Edward Scissorhands is a memorable film experience and it's one of Tim Burton's very best films. Johnny Depp is excellent and the story will definitely appeal to the whole family.

Radio is yet another in a long list of feel good movies. But I believe that this is the best feel good movie since October Sky. Cuba Gooding Jr. and Ed Harris deliver strong performances here. Cuba Gooding Jr. portrays Robert "Radio" Kennedy a young man with mental problems, and Ed Harris portrays Coach Jones, the coach of the local High School who befriends Radio after Jones's team terrorizes him. Radio At first doesn't open up, but after a while he warms up to Coach Jones. However this friendship is hard because of the obvious mental issues that Radio has. Radio is said to be a distraction by many of the parents, and teachers. However Coach Jones ignores this, and defies what some parents say, and he builds a strong friendship with Radio. The film has all the usual feel good traits of a feel good movie, and is the type of film that you can watch with the entire family and enjoy it for what it is. A very moving stoiry, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Ed Harris performances are believable enough and the rest of the cast do a good job acting alongside Harris and Gooding Jr. Radio mixes elements of a feel good film with sports drama, and theres nothing here that you can't hate. The film is not perfect of course, I mean it's a film we've seen a hundred times before, but Radio is still a good enough film to provide you with two hours of good family entertainment. Radio is a powerful film about what it truly means to be human, and how some situations can bring out the best out of people. A well done film that is a must see, not the best ever made, but definitely a film to watch and make you feel good.

A Clockwork Orange is one of the greatest films by Stanley Kubrick. Based on Anthony Burgess's novel of the same name, The film is superbly acted and is very twisted. The subject mater may not appeal to everyone, as this is no ordinary film. I view this film as a more fucked up version of George Orwell's 1984. A Clockwork Orange is a truly unique and disturbing piece of cinema. A film that is just as eccentric as it's characters and story, Clockwork is a must see classic. Malcolm McDowell portrays one of the greatest villains in cinematic history, only topped by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. A terrific, twisted tale. A Clockwork Orange though not for everyone is a film that is a definite classic.

As a diehard fan of heavy metal music, I for one saw this film, and definitely loved it. loosely based on Rob Halford leaving Judas Priest and being replaced by Tim"ripper" Owens, a fan of the band and singer for a Priest tribute band. Rockstar should appeal to metalheads everywhere because this film simply rocks. The film has it's downs of course, it's not perfect, but it manages to entertain you with blazing metal music, and other metal hellraising shenanigans of the band in the film. The cast do a good enough job, and Mark Wahlberg is quite good as Chris Cole the lead singer of Blood Pollution a Steel Dragon Tribute band. One Day after a fight, Chris gets kicked out of the band, and receives a call from Kik Cuddy, guitar player for Steel Dragon. Steel Dragon want Chris to come to an audition because their lead singer has just been fired. Chris Cole goes to the audition and gets asked to join the band , which he accepts Neither he nor his girlfriend no what awaits them in the crazy world of heavy metal. Chris Cole rapidly becomes one of metals premier singers, and he discovers the debauchery of the life of a rockstar. Many real life musicians of the genre plays roles in this film , most notably Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society, Jeff Pilson Of Dokken and Ratt and Jason Bonham the son of the late John Bonham, phenomenal drummer of Led Zeppelin. I thought it was very cool that they had actual musicians in the film, and it added a touch of authenticity to the metal band in the film. This film may not appeal to a mainstream audience, but it will definitely appeal to musicians and metalheads. The performances are good enough, the soundtrack rocks and the film is a chaotic descent into the metalhead world. A very underrated drama. As a fan of the genre, and as a guitar player, I really do appreciate this film for what is is. Not flawless, but very good nonetheless.

The Secret Garden is a terrific film for all ages. A film with an enchanting tale, The Secret Garden is a terrific film with a great cast of young actors. What attracts you into the film is a world of classic beauty. Everything is atmospheric in this film. I myself have never read the book, but I still think that this is a terrific film with a simple, yet effective story that unfolds before us. I find it hard to hate this film because this is a film that just shows you don't need a big, complicated storyline to create a terrific film. This film along with The Sandlot will always remain classics from my childhood.

The Aviator is a biopic on eccentric tycoon, Howard Hughes. Martin Scorsese directs this picture with style, as we get a close look at the rise of Howard Hughes. In the role of Hughes is Leonardo Dicaprio. A well chosen actor to play this part. Leonardo Dicaprio gives a great performance in the lead role, and Scorsese crafts yet another great film. The Aviator like I've said, takes a look at Howard Hughes throughout his life, from his birth to the movie industry to the aviation industry. We see as he turns his millions into billions, acquires TWA and the war he waged against Pan Am. Howard Hughes was a very complex man with a lot of phobias. Scorsese manages to cover most of his life on film, and DiCaprio plays Hughes with precision.
The Aviator is a stunning film thats well directed and acted, and is quite possibly one of the best biopics ever made. Martin Scorsese has definitely made his best film since Goodfellas, and this film was only topped by his follow up, The Departed, for which he won an Academy Award for best director. The Aviator is yet another fine film from a director who knows to craft terrific pictures and Scorsese is a definite master of cinema. The way this film illustrates the life of such an intriguing man is superb, only Martin Scorsese could have made such an ambitious film about a man who had such an ambitious life. The Aviator also takes a look at the Spruce Goose, Hughe's famous flying boat that only flew once. If you're looking for a great biopic to watch, make it The Aviator, a truly interesting and entertaining film.

This is an excellent film. The acting is amazing and the story is full of drama. This is one of the best films I have ever seen. Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins deliver strong performances, I highly recommend this film. The first time I watched this film I was literally speechless. I couldn't believe the power the film had. What's so great about the film is it's simplicity. The fact that they were able to pull off something so grand with such a simple story of two men finding redemption by common acts of kindness is superb. The Shawshank Redemption is one of the greatest and most inspirational films ever made. Every time I need uplifting, I watch this film, and I always feel better. The cast that Frank Darabont has assembled here is incredible. The films follows prisoner Andy Dufresne as he is incarcerated in Shawshank Penitentiary. What follows is Dufresne steadily becoming friends with other imates, most notably Boy "Red" Redding. The two men slowly build a strong friendship. Over the course of the film both men find redemption and become better people as Andy Dufresne gives much needed hope to Red. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman both deliver moving performances. The Shawshank Redemption is a special film with a strong message. This is what stuck with me. Anyone looking for something positive can find it watching The Shawshank Redemption. This is a masterwork of cinema, one may feel inclined not to watch it because of the simplistic storyline, but Frank Darabont manages to create something grand on screen, something that we all can relate to. This is definitely one of the greatest films ever made.

Clint Eastwood has had an incredible career. I mean from staring in the badest and boldest Westerns of the 60's to playing a cop with an attitude, the guy is a legend. His career as a director has been equally impressive. Million Dollar Baby is a terrific film. The film tells the story of a determined female boxer who wants to be a professional boxer, she seeks help from trainer Frankie Dunn, played as usual with finesse by director Clint Eastwood. Eastwood has crafted a fine film and has assembled a great cast of actors, Hilary Swank, Morgan Freeman, Jay Baruchel and Eastwood himself, do I need to go on? Million Dollar Baby is an inspiring film, thats both equally sad and uplifting. Hilary Swank is terrific in her role and gives a great performance, this is one of her finest performances yet. The film doesn't follow the Rocky formula as some have come to believe, instead the film tell a totally different story, and ends up being truly incredible. The only reason that this film gets the rating it gets is because I found they where a few things about the film that I didn't like, the ending, and the fact that Danger Barch(Jay Baruchel) gets treated the way he does because he obviously is mentally challenged. One scene gets coaxed by others at the boxing club to fight, and I didn't really like to see it. But nonetheless it's a very good film worth watching, and because Clint Eastwood made it, you know you're in for a quality film.

Clint Eastwood has a knack of creating terrific drama films with a message. Gran Torino is one of those films. Under it's typical Clint Eastwood stereotypical toughness, which he plays here. This film can be seen as a commentary on many issues, gangs, racism, the disrespect of the youth culture towards their Elders, forgiveness. Those are some of the issues that come to mind when I think of this film, and I don't think it's quite far fetched to say that this is what this film is about either, because if you look at this film closely this is exactly what it's about. This film is a tour de force performance by Clint Eastwood, and the virtual cast of unknown actors are quite good on screen. Gran Torino is a terrific film with a strong message in the story. Gran Torino is yet another Clint Eastwood masterpiece, and it shows that he has no signs of slowing down. Clint Eastwood plays a racist Korean War Veteran, and it's very interesting to see him change his ways throughout the course of the film. I don't understand why people say this is Eastwood's weakest entry as a director, he's a very solid director who is able to tell a great story. Gran Torino is a well told film and the cast of unknowns are simply terrific. This is yet another great film from Clint Eastwood, and it's a film that adresses important issues that can't be ignored. Gran Torino may not be the greatest work by Clint Eastwood, however the film a splendid work race issues and it proves once again that Clint Eastwood can deliver yet another solid film. Gran Torino is a good example of a film that takes an unbiased look at race issues, and this is a well made film, and it's not preachy like most films dealing with similar subject matter. Clint Eastwood is great filmmaker, and Gran Torino is another great film from a director at the top of his game.

Michael Clayton is a terrific film. No other words can describe this film. A film that is very well written and superbly acted, this is a film that will definitely entertain you. A top notch cast upholds the terrific script. George Clooney as usual delivers a solid performance and so does Tom Wilkinson who always brings something great to his roles. Tony Gilroy's directing is terrific and the story is solid. A riveting dramatic Thriller, Michael Clayton is a film that has a very strong story, and is the type of film you may need to watch a second time around to get the whole storyline to the film. Michael Clayton is a pulse pounding thrill ride. This definitely a well plotted drama film. The cast here do an incredible job at elevating the story of the film. Theres terrific character development and it's very interesting to see events unfold as the story becomes more complex. A terrific drama/Thriller, this is a great example of a well executed film. The story is solid, the cast is incredible and the directing is almost flawless. I've seen a lot of George Clooney films, and I truly think he's a talented actor. But in Michael Clayton he gives something that truly redefines his acting style, he delivers a bold performance, a performance that should have earned him an Oscar. The role that he plays in this film is one of his greatest yet and in time will probably one of his most memorable. Yes, at times the film is confusing, and like I've said once, you may need to watch this twice to get whats going on, but thats whats great about this film, with every viewing you'll unlock something new and thrilling. Michael Clayton is a masterful dramatic Thriller with a multi layered plot with interesting, conflicted characters. A film that must be seen. Truly something different.

The Last Samurai is a terrific action war drama directed by Edward Zwick and starring Tom Cruise and Ken Wantanabe. Set in Japan in the 19th century, The Last Samurai takes a look at a modernizing Japan who seek the help of an American officer (played by Tom Cruise) to train their modernizing army and eradicate the ancient Samurai who refuse a modernized Japan.
After living a life of shame survive under Custard, Nathan Algren (Cruise) who is an alcoholic gets hired to train the Japanese army to eradicate the Samurai. He gets captured after an ill prepared attack, as the newly formed army is not battle ready and not disciplined enough for combat. As they are ordered to suppress the Samurai revolt. Algren gets captured and becomes the Samurai's prisoner. Through his captivity, Algren slowly regains his honor and learns the way of the Samurai. He becomes impressed with their way of life, the way they live, fight and how selfless they are. At first, The Samurai are wary of him, but it's not long that they gain full confidence in him.
Soon the eras will collide and Algren will choose a side, and be forced to fight for what he truly has come to love. The Last Samurai is a well crafted film, and Tom Cruise gives a great performance, in fact one of his best since Rainman (at the time of this films release) Ken Wantanabe is phenomenal as the Samurai Katsumoto, his performance is the best of the film. Edward Zwick has made yet another terrific film, and The Last Samurai proves yet again that he's is a seriously underrated director. The Last Samurai is unique and is a film that you won't forget long after you've seen it. The film is simply beautiful.

I believe that Edward Zwick is a severely underrated director. What he has crafted with Blood Diamond is an important film on the topic of conflict diamonds. The film is brilliantly acted by its actors, Leonardo DiDiCaprio, Jennifer Connelly and Djimon Hounsou.Blood Diamond exposes an important issue, one issue that people seem to ignore. I love how Edward Zwick was able to blend drama and action into this story. Blood Diamond is an underrated film that shouldn't be passed up. Zwick has a good eye for a good story, and he delivers it yet again with Blood Diamond. The film follows Diamond smuggler Danny Archer and Fisherman Solomon Vandy as they search for a diamond thats very rare and highly valuable. In The Process, Danny and Solomon try to rescue Solomons son Dia from RUF forces. Blood Diamond is an incredible film that deserves more praise. Leonardo DiCaprio delivers one of his strongest performances here and theres plenty of action and drama to keep the film going. Edward Zwick has always been able to tell a profound story, and Blood Diamond continues that tradition. This is a well crafted film that though fictional, is close to the truth. The questions raised in the film are important, and though entertaining, Blood Diamond is a necessary film that brings to light events that people choose to ignore.

North Country is a terrific drama film about the first sexual harassment law suit. A harsh story the treatment of women in the Minnesota Mines. Charlize Theron gives one of the best performances of career in North Country as Josey Aimes who takes a job at a local mine and witnesses first hand the harrasment by male workers. She goes on to sue the Company and therefore make history by filling the first sexual harrasment lawsuit. Every actor gives his all in this film, and everyone gives terrific performances. North Country is a solid Drama film that shouldn't be missed.

Dances With Wolves is the story of a soldier by the name of John Dunbar who is sent to an outpost at the Frontier where he befriends a tribe of Indians. Directed and staring Kevin Costner, Dances With Wolves is a near flawless film. The story is simply beautiful and the acting and storytelling are superb. Dances With Wolves is a stunning epic as a man befriends a tribe of indians and becomes more attached to them throughout the film so attached that he abandons his previous life to start a new with the tribe he has befriended. The film is long, but it's perfectly paced as John Dunbar rediscovers himself through the tribe. Dunbar's friendship is seen as a betrayal from his superiors. Costner has crafted a near flawless film. The only real problem I had with the film was the length, which when you look at it is necessary to tell this story. Dances With Wolves will surely appeal to history buffs and film fans who enjoy other such films as The Last Of The Mohicans. The film has that same feel to it. Dances With Wolves is a film that will definitely get your attention and is a breathtaking film. Kevin Costner has made a unique film, and this is an important classic of film. A film full of wonder, Dances With Wolves tells a powerful story on screen.This is also one of Kevin Costner's best performances, he truly delivers something great on screen. Dances With Wolves is a near flawless masterpiece.

I remember seeing Mississippi Burning for the first time. I was blown away of the sheer power this film had on me. The cast is terrific in this drama thriller as the FBI hunts for the killers of three civil rights activists in 1960's segregated Mississippi. A terrific film with a strong story, and message, this is a powerful thought provoking film that is hard to watch, but is ultimately necessary to watch. Willem Dafoe and Gene Hackman deliver strong performances. The film examines the racist aspect of Mississippi in the 60's. The films story is set during the high of the Civil rights movement. The racist aspect that we are shown is that the blacks were segregated from the Whites, and hate crimes were often rampant on the black community of Mississippi and other Southern States of the U.S. The film tells the story of three civil rights activists who disappear in the Mississippi bayou and the strong racial tensions between the whites and the blacks. A well done film thats very thought provoking, it's hard to phantom how there was this much hate in South, and in some cases still is. Even though the film is constructed as a Thriller, the film like I've mentioned before gives us a clear portrait of the racial tension of that era in the South. Though it's hard too watch, I believe films like these are important to watch because it shows that racism is a negative and destructive thing that no one should have. One of the biggest strengths that the film has is the top notch cast of actors who deliver phenomenal performances. Mississippi Burning is an important film and one that can make you ask questions, yet still manage to entertain you and give you a lesson in history. The events that are portrait in the film are based on the real life 1964 Civil rights activist murders in Mississippi, a very intense, dramatic and stunning film.

Hotel Rwanda is the riveting true story of Paul Rusesesbagina. A Hutu who managed the Mille Collins hotel in Kigali, Rwanda. Russesbagina sheltered both tribes, Tutsis and Hutus. This film explores the humane side to one of the darkest periods of the 1990's. Hotel Rwanda is a superbly acted film, the cast here are absolutely wonderful. I am a big fan of Don Cheadle's work but I have to say that in Hotel Rwanda, he really shines and gives possibly the best performance of his career. Hotel Rwanda is a hard film to watch due to it's subject matter and it is poignant, hopeful and by the end uplifting. This film, much like Schindler's List shows that some men are able to do the right thing. This film can be easily compared to Schindler's List, because both films are very similar. However, if you'd ask me which films are better, I'd tell you that they're equal. Both films succeed in showing the good in people when all else around them is chaos. Except for a few minor flaws, this film does a great job at portraying the atrocities. The biggest flaw of the film is really Nick Nolte's character, Colonel Oliver. Oliver never existed and the character was based on General Romeo Dallaire. I personally think they shouldn't have changed the name of Dallaire, aside from that, the film is a superb piece of filmmaking and is one of the best films about these atrocities. A film like this is important so that it puts light on such subjects that this type of senseless killing happens in other countries. Hopefully Hotel Rwanda will make people realize that this is happening, and we need to do something about it. Hotel Rwanda is a very important film, and the superb cast and direction tells this story with tremendous respect, a hard but necessary film to watch. This is a terrific film and just the fact that the events in the film really happened should stimulate your interest into watching this film. Hotel Rwanda is the best film of it's kind since Schindler's List. You cannot afford to miss this film, an important film that should be seen.

Rainman is a phenomenal film about a selfish yuppie who discovers that he has a brother when his father dies, and he's left his fortune to him. The only thing is that his brother is an autistic-savant. Charlie Babbitt who's the Yuppie is brilliantly played by Tom Cruise and Raymond Babbit, Charlie's Autistic brother is played by Dustin Hoffman. Both actors deliver strong performances, and I thought that Rainman was one of the better films with Tom Cruise, as I'm not a Tom Cruise fan. The story is well told by director Barry Levinson and he successfully crafts a film about a brother trying to reconnect with his brother, whom he's never known existed. The performances feel real, and the acting is top notch. Levinson definitely picked a great cast for this film. Of all the films staring Tom Cruise, I think that Rainman is one of his best. Staring alongside Dustin Hoffman, both play their characters with skill, and both actors deliver something great on screen. Cruise is credible a selfish Yuppie, and Hoffman is equally impressive as his autistic brother Raymond. Rainman is a sad, but touching film, and the films message will definitely appeal to it's audience. One of things that I really liked about the film Tom Cruise's transformation into a selfish asshole into someone who cares for his brother, the films end, he has formed a strong bond with brother, and he's a better person. For me, that was a very interesting aspect of the film, and Cruise is able to transform so well on screen from selfish to selfless. A very good drama film that is very touching, humourous and sad. Rainman is a phenomenal film with a great story and great acting. Dustin Hoffman definitely shines here, and he plays one of his best roles here.

Crossroads is one of the best films about music that I have ever seen. The film surrounds the legend of Robert Johnson. The film features a terrific story. A great soundtrack and cast. Crossroads is a must see film, and the story should appeal to any music lovers A young kid named Eugene Martone helps Robert Johnson's old friend escape from a minimal security hospital. What follows is a tremendous journey of learning the ways of the blues. In return for having broken Willie Brown out of the hospital, Brown promises to give Eugene Robert Johnson's last song, which he never recorded during his lifetime due to his untimely death. If you're a Blues lover, you'll definitely love this film. Any musician will appreciate this film. Crossroads is filled some great music. A very cool thing about the film is that Steve Vai is in the film, and in the films most famous scene goes head to head the guitar duel with Eugene Martone. This scene is obviously the high point of the film, and is also one of the best moments of the film. Crossroads lacks incredible acting, but it's still decent enough to keep you interested. But the strong point of the film is not the acting, but the story. This story is so entertaining that you can forgive the average acting. The best performance though of the film is not Ralph Macchio but Joe Seneca. He is really good on screen and he elevates the average acting of Gertz and Macchio. Crossroads is a solid musical drama and is a definite must see for any musician of every genre. This is a memorable film using one of the best, most emotional musical genres. Using Blues music as a plot device works so well because it's a genre that conveys great emotion. Crossroads is one great film, with average acting, but terrific story telling, and with a wicked Blues soundtrack how can you go wrong. This is one film that should be seen. And this film shouldn't be confused for the lame Britney Spears film of the same name. THIS is the right Crossroads film to watch!

Ernesto "Che" Guevara is one of the recognizable figures of the 20th Century. He has led a life of adventure and has been a major figure of the Cuban Revolution. During his early years, Ernesto Guevara who was a doctor travelling Latin America was disgusted by the significant rate of poverty that he saw. He started to have a radical political ideology, and when he met Fidel Castro, he found his calling. Director Steven Soderbergh brings to the screen the incredible true story of Ernesto "Che" Guevara.
Epic film on one of the most important people of the 20th Century. Benicio Del Toro delivers one of his greatest performances as Ernesto ''Che'' Guevara. This tells the story of Che's beginnings in the involvement of the Cuban revolution. The film chronicles the hardships of Che as they invaded Cuba, however the rebels soon effectively destroyed Batista's forces. Throughout the film, we see the rise of Che as his role becomes more important in the revolution. The film shows us the biggest successes in the revolution including the battle that won the revolution, the Sara Clara Battle. The film is not action packed, but the battles are interesting, and entertaining. The story is well told, and by what the veterans of the Cuban Revolution have said about the film, this is a fairly accurate portrait of Cuba's greatest hero.
A well acted and powerful film this a terrific film on a man that nobody truly understood. Che's stature is godlike. Maybe this film will give you the answers you're looking for. A well made film on Che, this is a film that puts to light some of Che's more mysterious qualities. A definite must see.

As Che Guevara's life couldn't be told in one film, the filmmakers decided to cut his story into two parts. A necessity as theres a lot of ground to cover. In the Second part, The filmmakers focus on Che"s Bolivian campaign and his eventual demise. Ernesto "Che" Guevara continues his exploits as he seeks to free Latin America from American Democracy. The film shows Che as he launches a Guerilla war against the Bolivian Army. Through the campaign, Che experiences many difficulties including being poorly equipped, being cut off from Cuba and suffering Asthma attacks in the damp Bolivian jungles. Benecio Del Toro delivers yet another great performance as Che Guevara and he really makes the role of Che a part of himself. Del Toro is very well chosen for the part, and like in part one, he delivers a great performance on screen. The film does a good job at telling the story of Che Guevara's eventual demise by being assassinated by the Bolivian authorities. I read a lot about Che's life, and the film is very authentic to the mans story. Sure there are a few minor details that aren't accurate, but for the most both films tell this mans story in great detail. Part Two is maybe a less strong second half to an incredible first part, but it's still a well told film about a legendary Icon of the 20th Century. Once you know Che's entire life, and this film made me read more about him, you come to understand that he wanted to end Latin American poverty and corruption. Of course because he was a communist, people easily get an idea that he was an evil man, but this film along with part one may open up your eyes and make you ask your own questions about this man. A very interesting film, long, but this is a strong biopic on a symbol, of the Cuban Revolution.

The Astronaut Farmer is the fictional story of a former NASA astronaut who builds his own rocket to travel in space. The film follows the same feel good formula that many other films have taken, and the results are somewhat mixed. The film is average and can almost be seen as recycled ideas from previous films dealing with achieving the impossible. Obviously the character building his rocket will have obstacles to overcome and there'll be a period where he'll just want to give up, but he's encouraged to continue. The feds get involved because they believe that Charles Farmer is building a WMD in his barn. He faces the feds, skeptical neighbors, but he'll prove them wrong. Astronaut Farmer is typical of the feel good film. The film is good to watch, but it doesn't do anything new or original with the script. The Astronaut Farmer is a good film to watch with your family. Unfortunately the film is flawed and at times the film feels a bit stupid in it's dialogue delivery. Some parts made me cringe. The Astronaut Farmer is an average feel good film with decent acting, and average plot. However it's clear that the script suffers, and the full potential of this picture is strained and has yet to realized. Good, but not great. The thing with this film is that they were plenty of opportunities to craft something pretty good, but the filmmakers decided to recycle old ideas, and at times the film feels rushed. Still decent entertainment.

Robert Zemeckis and Tom Hanks collaborate once again here to make another great drama film. Cast Away is a fairly simple story, a guy working for Fed Ex gets involved in a plane crash, survives then gets caught on an island. Cast Away is a simple drama film that succeeds on many levels. Tom Hanks is able to make the seeming boring plot into something entertaining. Cast Away is a well acted film with a strong cast, a good story and good directing. Zemeckis crafts a film that leaves the viewer questioning what will happen next. The film is never dull because it always leaves the question of what will happen to its main character lingering. Theres a good dose of drama here as we see Tom Hanks character trying to keep his mental state intact. Cast Away is a well done film and what I love the most about the film is the fact that used one actor for pretty much the whole movie, and they made it entertaining. I thought the toned down cast was terrific. There really isn't that many actors in this film, and the fact that Tom Hanks has 2 hours of screen to himself amd makes it work is terrific. Cast Away is a superb film thats very well acted by Hanks and is fairly entertaining as well. Cast Away is not a film for everyone, but if you enjoy Tom Hanks, then you should give this one a look. A very well done film thats very good, despite its simplistic plot.

Traffic is an astounding, well acted film. Traffic tells the story of America's war on drugs. Judge Robert Wakefield played by Michael Douglas has been appointed the head of the President's of National Drug Control. The war on drugs gets pretty personal for Wakefield as his daughter starts experimenting with cocaine, and she soon develops a drug addiction. Traffic does an amazing job of portraying the drug war and overall cost of what drugs can do to a loved one. The film provides a clear view of the danger of drugs and also makes you realize what the cost is. Steven Soderbergh has assembled a phenomenal cast of actors that elevates the film tremendously. With such a cast at hand, Soderbergh has crafted quite an intriguing film. Traffic is one of the most captivating films about the war on drugs. As I've previously said twice in the review, the film examines what drugs do to kids, and also it counteracts with the ongoing war on drugs. Which the film does very well. It shows the cost of drug abuse, and what the government try to do to stop the drug lords from importing into the states. This is not an exciting action packed film that some may think it may be. Traffic is overall a suspenseful, thrilling film thats very well acted and told. Steven Soderbergh has crafted a unique film and it sends a very important message.

Not since Stanley Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey and George Lucas' Star Wars has a Sci Fi Drama been so compelling. Moon is a superb film directed by Duncan Jones and stars Sam Rockwell and Kevin Spacey. The thing I love the most about this film is the fact that the robot in this film feels Humane and actually cares for Sam Rockwell's character. Unlike Hal 9000 who was a total psycho in 2001, Gerty, the robot in this film has human emotions and genuinely cares for Sam. A superb film that has grossly been unnoticed due to the fact that bigger budget films such as Avatar and Inglourious Basterds dominated the box office, Moon is a jewel and will in time find an audience. It really is a work of breathtaking originality. Made on a mediocre budget of only 5 million, Moon proves that you can do so much, with so little. Thats also an aspect of the film that I love, it looks great, feels expensive, and yet it's not. Duncan Jones has done something great here. I will definitely be looking forward to future films of his. Jones is an impressive young talent. Moon is a superbly crafted Sci Fi drama and is great film. When I first saw this film, I was just in awe about the story. Sam Rockwell is phenomenal and he delivers one of his best performances. I truly believe he's an underrated talent. He truly shines here. Moon is, as I've said before, one of the best of 2009 and if you see this film, and want to experience an overlooked treasure of 2009, then pick this title up. I can only hope that this film finds an audience because it's a work of genius. The standards have risen once again for the Sci Fi genre, and this is the best Sci Fi film since 2001 and Star Wars.

The Rookie is one of the few sports films that really doesn't do anything for me. The film is overly cliched and is more irritating and boring than anything else. I saw this film made it on the list of worst sports movies ever made. I can understand why. The film is very poorly written, the acting is terrible, the plot is predictable and Dennis Qaids kid in the film is irritating as hell. But its normal for a Disney film. That's to be expected. I thought the film was really a chore to finish, the only reason that I have this is because it came as a two pack packaged with a film that I wanted. I thought this film would be good, it wasn't. Sometimes a story with lots of cliches can be interesting and fun, when the script is well written, and the cast is good. But thats not the case with The Rookie. The Rookie tries too hard at being a feel good film, and instead it misses the mark, big time. Theres little interest in the film to be had 40 minutes in and the film feels sloppy, and poorly made. The Rookie could have been a great film, but it uses the usual feel good movie formula in such a bad way that the film is laughable. If you're looking for one of the worst feel good sports films, then The Rookie is that film. Boring, predictable and so poorly made all you want to do after watching this film is forget about it.

Whenever Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro get together they always make a phenomenal film. Raging Bull is one of Scorsese's best films and is also one of the best boxing films ever made. Forget about Rocky, Ali and more recently The Fighter, this is the boxing film to watch. Raging Bull is the true story of boxer Jake LaMotta who seeks to get a title shot against Sugar Ray Robinson. Like every Scorsese film, Scorsese is able to tell a terrific story on screen and make it interesting. For Raging Bull, he has assembled a phenomenal cast of talented actors who light up the screen in this powerful drama. Raging Bull is the best film dealing with boxing. Martin Scorsese really delivers a strong film and its one of his best. Raging Bull is an astounding character study of a conflicted individual as he seeks redemption. Scorsese tells a powerful story and De Niro delivers a stunning performance. Sure there are a lot of great boxing films out there, but for me, none has the power that Raging Bull has. This is a well crafted film with a well executed story and delivers believable drama on screen. Martin Scorsese has always made great films, but Raging Bull is one of his finest works. If you want to see one of the finest boxing films, then let it be this one. Raging Bull is a superbly well acted drama that is one unforgettable masterpiece.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is a terrific, well acted and told Drama film. Jack Nicholson delivers a strong, funny and dramatic performance as Randle McMurphy. Louise Fletcher also delivers as Nurse Ratchet, one of the greatest film villains in cinematic history, she plays the head nurse of the psychiatric ward. Nurse Ratchet is definitely one of the most memorable villains in film. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is a terrific film that has stood the test of time.

The Blindside is yet another feel good film. Based on the true life of Michael Oher, it tells his story from his homelessness to being adopted by the Tuohy family. I usually don't like Sandra Bullock, except for the first Speed film where she was very good, but in this film she really does do a great job. The Blindside is a good film with an uplifting story, but it's far from perfect. One of the biggest problems I had with the story was the little brat S.J Tuohy, I thought the kid playing him was beyond terrible, and fucking annoying as hell. I usually don't get mad at such things, but in this films case, I sure did. Isimply thought that the kid was selfish, and many times in the film he tries to get the attention onto him. What a spoiled rich brat. His adoptive brother was raised into poverty and his biological mother is heavily into drugs, and he has to make it about himself? Right. Anyhow, the kid was the reason why the film didn't score higher than three stars for me. I thought the film was well done, and is one of the best sports dramas that I've seen, but Jae Head (S.J) brings this film down so bad. I better stop with his performance. The Blindside focuses on Michael Oher and how he was able to go from homelessness to being adopted by a good family, and how he ended up getting a football scholarship to Ol miss, due to his amazing football playing abilities. The Blindside has flaws (the kid) but overall the film satisfies and makes you feel good, not the best of its kind, but definitely not the worst. This is also Sandra Bullock's best performance since Speed, and that says a lot.

Clint Eastwood never quits He seems gifted in making phenomenal films. Invictus is his latest offering, and is a terrific film. Invictus explores a post Apertheid South Africa as Nelson Mandela is released from prison and seeks to unite a seperated South Africa. Mandela discovers a potential idea by uniting his country with the sport of Rugby. A big theme in Invictus is burying racial tensions in a post Apertheid South Africa. Nelson Mandela seeks the help of Springboks Team leader,Francois Pienaar to unite the country. Invictus may at first be seen as a sports drama film, but the film touches on more important issues than simply sports. The other aspect that the film touches on is the racial tension between the Black majority and the White minority in a post Apertheid South Africa. The film in the end is about uniting a devided country using it's national sport. Invictus like every other Clint Eastwood film that has been released in the last couple of years is a film that is brilliantly told, acted and directed. For a film like this, it's very hard to ignore Eastwood's talent as a terrific storyteller. And in Invictus, he tells one of his most emotional stories since Letters From Iwo Jima. A fine film from start to finish, Clint Eastwood has managed to assemble a terrific cast of actors. Morgan Freeman is simply terrific in the role of Nelson Mandela, and if I may say so, it's one of his best roles of his career, no other actor could portray Mandela like Freeman did. Invictus is yet another Homerun for Clint Eastwood, he dlivers yet another solid film, though some may feel that a few actors may be miscast (Matt Damon) I though he was perfect for the part. Invictus is an inspiring film and is one of Eastwood best. Invictus deals with an important subject matter, and Eastwood's respect for the material shows on screen. A thought provoking film, Invictus is one of the best films of 2009.

Thought we know the outcome of the Miracle On Ice game, this is still a powerful sports film with fairly tense action packed hockey scenes. Miracle is a superb sports drama that is set during the 1980 Winter Olympic games when Team USA beat the invincible Russian team for the first time in over a decade. Miracle is a superb film though predictable, it is very well done. Kurt Russell gives a powerful performance as Team USA coach Herb Brooks. Miracle is a good sports film that delivers. The film recreates the atmosphere of the 1980 Winter Games very well, and the need for a miracle to win against Russia. Though predictable this film is a solid sports film with a good cast. Miracle is a terrific recreation the famous game that won the US its Gold medal against the Russians. Miracle does follow the traditional sports film formula, and does make it cliche, but I thought the film was done so well and was entertaining enough to not hold it against the film. The cast do a great job here and the filmmakers craft an interesting and good film despite all the cliches. What really does separate this film is that it focuses on an extremely important event in sports history. Miracle is a well acted film with the right amount of drama and sports action. This film is a must for hockey fans and those who enjoy a good sports film. Miracle delivers on screen.

Donnie Brasco is a very different gangster film The film shows the audience the going on's behind the scenes in the criminal underworld. A first rate cast gives this superior gangster flick a lot of class. Al Pacino and Johnny Depp deliver strong performances. Donnie Brasco is an intense drama film about an FBI informant that infiltrated the mob in the 1970's. Johnny Depp plays Donnie Brasco, the informant in one of the many crime families of New York City. This is an electrifying film and I have seen my fair share of mob films, and Donnie Brasco is an entirely different film because it shows an informant infiltrating the mob, a theme not really talked about in a gangster film. Sure at times, we see gangsters dealing with rats,.informants, but never have we seen a film with the perspective of the informant, avery interesting premise for a film. Sure may theres The Departed, but it's very different, because Donnie Brasco is based on a real story, and the people in the film are real or are based on real characters. Johnny Depp is terrific as Donnie Brasco, and he gives yet another top notch performance. Depp was definitely well chosen for the role, and in a film, like this, it just shows the amount of talent that he has as an actor and he's able to pull off awesome roles.A very different look at the criminal underworld, Donnie Brasco is a different type of mob film. It takes you behind the scenes of the glamoure and shows you exactly how it is. A very intense and well directed and acted film.

Creation Chronicles Charles Darwin's research and writing of his now famous book, On The Origin Of Species, a book that changed the course of science, and exploded in controversy. The film is very interesting, and Paul Bettany is well cast in the role of Charles Darwin. Creation takes a look in the hardships of Darwin as he was writing his famous work. Charle's Darwin revolutionary theory practically spit in the face of religion. In the film the character Thomas Huxley says to Darwin, "you've killed god, sir." This is a powerful film that takes a look at what Darwin went through to complete the manuscript of On The Origin Of Species. Ultimately he did, and his theory changed the face of the world. The fillm is of course a drama based biopic, and thus not everything here is fact, some of it is made up for the sake of telling a good story. Creation is not a perfect film, but it does give you an insight into a very complex man. Charles Darwin was certainly that and more. Creation is the story of his writing of his theory as he spent nearly twenty years researching every detail on this theory before his colleagues convinced him that writing out the theory would shut up all the religious fanatics, as they somehow hint in the film that Science is more powerful than religion. For those interested in Charles Darwin, Creation may be a film for you. The film is slow, but the story keeps you entertained because Darwin's research of his theory is extremely interesting, and theres nothing boring about such a thing. The acting here is great both Bettany and his real life wife, Jennifer Connelly give great performances. A very well done film even though it's not entirely perfect.

Boogie Nights is a spectacular drama film about the rise of fictional porn actor Dirk Diggler during the golden age of porn in the 1970's. Paul Thomas Anderson has crafted a unique drama film with style. There is a tremendous ensemble of gifted actors here, and even the now washed out actors ( John C Reilly, Burt Reynolds) shine here. Boogie Nights definitely captures the feel of the 1970's porn boom. Anderson has tremendous talent, and his directing abilities help to create something truly unique on screen. Anderson knows how to use this impressive cast of actors and all of them deliver great performances. Boogie Nights overall is a one of a kind drama film, and one of the best drama films of the 90's. Paul Thomas Anderson's second feature film is an impressive work and it's a more polished film than Anderson's first film. Boogie Nights is Anderson's best film, and he would later direct the equally impressive There Will Be Blood. However this film stands alone as an in your face type of movie because it touches on a sensitive non Hollywood friendly issue: Porn. Anderson's film is terrific and it rips across the screen and considering it's subject matter, it's able to be a smart, well written film without being too incorrect for a mainstream audience. Boogie Night is a film that tells the story of the porn industry, the good times and the bad, and as a major Hollywood production, it's very interesting to see a film like this bring to light a subject that usually isn't your typical idea for a film. This is Paul Thomas Anderson's best film, and Boogie Nights cemented his name as a top notch director. A very enjoyable, yet at times disturbing ride.

When you think of epic gangster/mafia films you immediately think of The Godfather and Goodfellas. Though two of the best of the genre, Once Upon A Time In America is one of the best, most unflinching and most brutal films in the gangster genre since The Godfather, it's also the best since. If there's a film that can equal the power of The Godfather, it's Once Upon A Time In America. Sergio Leone had been planning this film for at least ten years. Leone was more than just a filmmaker, he was an artist. His camera his paintbrush, the celluloid his canvas. I like to think of Sergio Leone that way because his films truly defined the cinematic medium, his films were rich and detailed, if he could be compared to great artists, I'd compare him to Van Gogh, Monet and Goya. Once Upon A Time In America is a terrific film. It is Leone final say in the cinematic medium. Like everyone of Sergio Leone's masterworks, the film starts off slow and by the second hour things really take off. But with Leone, it's only normal as he was a storyteller with style. You can't start a story off with a bang, you have to tell it fvrom start up to the exciting middle and the explosive climax. This is the case with Leone's films. You think they'll be decent at best, but Leone manages to throw a curve ball and twist your senses and something that seemed a bit dull, is now very much exciting and thrilling. Thats what I love about Leone work, the element of surprise. A lot of reviews of the film have been positive, but many have claimed that this the worst Leone film. I strongly believe it's the case because they viewed the dreaded American cut version (134 Minutes) But if you view the full cut of the film (229 Minutes) My dad told me to skip this one, but I was curious and I love the gangster film genre, I love the old films as much as the new ones. I was blown away, the cast here is incredible. James Woods and Robert De Niro deliver jaw dropping performances. A powerful epic of three decades of crime, Once Upon A Time In America is one of the greatest crime films ever made. Many directors have made there mark in the genre, and now Sergio Leone has mastered the gangster film much like Francis Ford Coppola with The Godfather, Martin Scoresese with Goodfellas and maybe even Michael Mann with Heat. Despite this impressive array of films, Sergio Leone final master stroke remains one of the few gangster films that can hold a candle to The Godfather. A work of poignant genius from a man that made cinema into more than just a film making business. He turned films into a new art form of expression. Sergio Leone will always be seen as one of the greatest poets of film history. As for Once Upon A Time In America, view the uncensored complete cut of the film to experience Sergio Leone's true vision. Any less is an insult to Leone legacy.

Amadeus is one of the greatest films you will ever see. Milos Foreman delivers a film like no other.A tremendous tour de force, Amadeus chronicles the life of composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the subsequent jealous rage by rival composer Antonio Salieri. This film is rich with talent, and everyone here displays tremendous skills on screen. Tom Hulche performance as Amadeus Mozart is impressive, his performance stole the show. Hulce portrays Mozart with comic wit and style. One of the best part of the film is watching F Murray Abraham in the character of Antonio Salieri as he constantly tries to outdo Mozart and he secretly plans the murder of Mozart. Amadeus is an exquisite piece of cinema that should be cherished as it is a very brilliant film. Milos Foreman who also also directed One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest delivers yet another astounding piece of cinema. Amadeus is a film that belongs on the shelf of the greatest films ever made.

I bought a three pack of drama movies at Walmart, one was Amadeus. The other Once Upon A Time In America, and the other, Chariots Of Fire. I thought the movie had a very inspiring message. The acting was excellent, and the directing superb. However, I thought this film was slightly overrated, not by much, but some. I enjoyed it. Vangelis' unforgettable score rounds out this good film, and everyone one involved deliver great performances. I don't believe it's the greatest sports film ever made, but it does manage to entertain you with it's simple story. My guess is, this is a film that you need to watch a few times to be truly engrossed by it. Well, I certainly will watch it again, and I do think this is a good film. Simple, yet effective, Chariots Of Fire is a well made film that will please any fan of sports films alike.

Interesting concept for a film, Poolhall Junkies is the story of a Proffesional pool player and hustler Johnny Dyole who wants to go ligit and break away from his dishonest mentor, Joe. The film is at times uneven, and you can see that there are aspects that they could have improved on, but for the most part it's average film thats very entertaining. I use to appreciate this film very much, but re watching it, you kind of notice that the script needs a bit of work and that that the acting is somewhat sketchy by Mars Callahan who acts also as the film screenwriter and director. One thing is for sure, Callahan's idea of casting Chaz Palminteri and Christopher Walken was a good idea, and there the ones who really deliver on screen. The dialogue is witty, and the script is smartly conceived, but it's obvious that this is a film by a first time screenwriter and director. That's not saying that it's a bad thing, but I've a lot better. The film is a mix of comedy, crime and drama and it's quite an interesting blend of genres in one film. Poolhall Junkies manages to be a good, entertaining film. But it never achieves anything beyond great. It's a cool little film with a decent cast.

The Goonies is one of those childhood films that still remains relevant to you even if you're an adult. The film is a classic. With their homes at stake of being foreclosed and their neighborhood becoming a future golf course, A group of misfit kids band together one afternoon and accidentally discover a pirate map. Thus they begin a search for the missing treasure of One Eyed Willy. Watching The Goonies brings back fun memories of my childhood. The film is one of those gems that doesn't seem dated and you can watch over and over again and still find amusing. The story is exciting, funny and thrilling. Director Richard Donner directs a great cast of actors. Including a very young Josh Brolin and Sean Avery. Honestly, I couldn't believe it was Brolin and Avery. The Goonies is a wonderfully crafted adventure film. The young cast may seem familiar to many as you have Corey Feldman (Friday The 13th part 4, The Burebs, The Lost Boys) and Jonathan Que Quan (Short Round, Indiana Jones and The Temple Doom) The story is fairly simple, but it's a very entertaining one at that. I grew up watching The Goonies, for me it's one of those timless childhood favorites such as The Sandlot, The Secret Garden, Casper and Toy Story. All those films bring back memories. But The Goonies, unlike any other film that I saw when I was a kid, made a pretty big impact on me. When I first saw it, I was astounded with it. I had so much fun, the characters, the humour, the pirate themed adventure. The Goonies is a film that should be watched and cherished by families everywhere.

Designed as a B movie with an homage to Sci Fi and horror films of the 1950's, Tim Burton crafts an eccentric, enjoyable Sci Fi comedy. Burton successfully captures the tone and atmosphere of classic space invasion films. That makes it more enjoyable. Mars Attacks! has everything you'd expect from a Tim Burton film. Diehard Burton fans will certainly rejoice at this slight departure. But thats whats great about Tim Burton, no matter what film he makes, he always has the traditional elements which makes his films so much fun, eccentric and entertaining. The cast are a mixed bunch. You have some terrific actors here, and some not so great actors. But the strength of the film lies within it's originality. The comedy is lowbrow and the acting is cheesy, but it's meant to be. Mars Attacks! is a terrific Sci Fi space invaders film with horror and comedy elements. .Mars Attacks! is simply put a wonderfully crafted film with a good cast that all deliver something amusing on screen. Critics as usual seem to have missed the point of Mars Attacks! this is a terrific well crafted film that brings back the old school 1950's Sci Fi vibe to a modern day audience. For that, the film succeeds and I view it as a Tim Burton classic. and one of his most underrated film.

Caddyshack is one of the funniest films of the 1980's. With a cast including some of the funniest comedians of the business, how can you go wrong? Caddyshack is definitely THE 80's comedy to watch. it's stupid and dimwitted. Thats what makes this film a must see and it's also what makes this film what it is. The humour is crude and vulgar. Hell, I guess you can it's over the top, and thats what you have here, Caddyshack is a well made crude comedy with plenty of laughs. This is a terrific film not to miss.

Risky Business is a surprising teen comedy. This film along with Top Gun put Tom Cruise on the Hollywood map. This was Pre Scientology Tom Cruise. Risky Business is clever, witty amusement and its a well made Comedy film. Tom Cruise starts a brothel in his parent's home after he trashes his Porsche. Risky Business has a fine cast of young actor aside from Tom Cruise. A noteworthy performance is by Joe Pantoliano as Guido, the "killer Pimp". Unlike every other teen comedy, Risky Business has a totally different approach and story. What makes this film so good is the fact that it doesn't necessarily use a lot of vulgar language and doesn't overdo the nudity, like most teen comedies do. Instead we have a smart story where the teens aren't portrayed with the typical Hollywood stereotypes. Of course the viewer is presented with the usual teen behavior, but never do the filmmakers make them look stupid. The filmmakers treat the cast with respect and don't treat them in a typical teen matter. To summarize Risky Business, it's one of the best teen comedies that you can watch, it's very funny, well acted, and with a good script at hand, the director has created the quintessential teen comedy. Risky Business can be looked at as a classic of the genre by today's standards and it's still brilliant, and feel fresh after all the years.

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective was the start of star Jim Carrey's career. At the beginning of the 90's, he made some of the funniest comedies. Ace Ventura being one of them. Jim Carrey is very funny in his big break role, and he was able to make the best out of this role. Ace Ventura is a very funny film with one of the best performances that he has ever given. Ace Ventura was a great break through for Carrey, and he managed to create other memorable roles with Dumb and Dumber and The Mask, and his final great comedy, Me, Myself and Irene before going into a steady decline. Despite this, we at least have films like ce Ventura to remind us that Jim Carrey was once great at making us laugh out loud. Looking back after all the these years, Ace Ventura is still very funny 16 years after it's initial release. Also this film introduced me to Cannibal Corpse, one of the best death metal bands in the underground death metal scene. I saw the TV cut of the film, and theres a scene in thatv version where Jim Carrey gets on stage with Cannibal Corpse, which is absent on the dvd cut of the film. I think it's a great shame because that scene is extremely funny, and any metalhead might enjoy Jim Carrey rocking out with Cannibal Corpse, I know I did. Though not a flawless film, Ace Ventura will definitely give you a good laugh if you're in the mood. Ace Ventura still manages to make me laugh after all these years. Ace Ventura is a very hysterical film with delivery from Jim Carrey, however this is one of Jim Carrey's best comedic outputs at the beginning of the 90's. I just think it was a real shame that he's not able to be as funny as he was in this film.

How can one describe a sequel to Ace Ventura? There are many words that can be thought of to describe this film, two of them are over the top and funny. I think it sums up this sequel fairly well. Just when you thought the first one was funny and couldn't be topped. The studio greenlit Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. For me, this film is a slightly better film than the first, but not by much. Jim Carrey is of course amusing, and hysterical in role of Ace Ventura and the jokes in the film are way more over the top than the first film. This sequel features a change of scenery for Ace Venture as he's hired to retrieve a bat in Kenya. In pure Ace Ventura fashion, he begins his awkward investigation, and I say awkward because he doesn't seem to take anything seriously. Right from the start of the film, Ave is up to his old antics; and the laughs begin. A different setting than the first films, makes for a whole new set of laughs.The jokes are somewhat better this time around, especially for the memorable monopoly guy scene and the rhino scene, these two scenes are some of the funniest of the film; and had be laughing very hard. Not a perfect film, but this much better than most comedic sequels out there, example dumb and dumberer. Well if love the first one, you'll most likely going to like this second entry, the reason I give this a good score is because it has plenty of laughs, some are even better than the first film, which was great. But I guess that going into this sequel, they thought they could broaden up the material a bit. The film is worth watching, but just keep in mind thats it's not without its faults, however if you're looking for a terrific comedic sequel, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls may be the sequel you're looking for. A very funny film, and with that in mind, you can almost forgive it's flaws.

Robert Zemeckis masterpiece Back To The Future is one monumental film. Both in special effects, and in terms of delivering a solid, original story. The film surrounds a mad scientist by the name of Doctor Emmett Brown and a teenager by the name of Marty McFly. Doc Brown invents a time machine out of DMC Delorean. After a Lybian terroristtack on Doc Brown, Mart escapes in the Delorean back to the year 1955. What follows is a series of mishaps that can reshape the future in a very bad way for Marty.

Back To The Future is a film that stimulates the mind and you'll be highly entertained for a magical time travelling 2 hours journey. It's one journey you're not likely going to forget. Simply a flawless well made film. One of favorites for sure.

Back To The Future Part II is a terrific follow up to the classic original. After the events of the first film, Doc Brown comes back from the future and tells Marty to prevents a series of bad events he must travel with him to the future to the year 2015. Thus begins a brand new adventures filled with more laughs and entertainment. Back To The Future Part II is a well crafted sequel, and Robert Zemeckis keeps the film entertaining and thrilling with terrific visuals, great comedy and a good story. Theres never any dull moments in this second entry, and it delivers an awesome two hour viewing experience. The film is a well written and plotted sequel. Back To The Future Part II is definitely a treat for fans who've seen the first but haven't seen this entry. Back To The Future Part II is definitely a well crafted sequel. The cast do a fine job and the story has more misadventures as Doc Brown and Marty try to fix the future, but ultimately disrupts the past. A terrific plot unfolds and the film is always exciting and thrilling even after multiple viewings.Robert Zemeckis still has the magic touch which made the first so good. The film is full of imagination and funny bits. The film starts off a bit slow, but quickly picks up and ends on a high note. A wonderful sequel to a phenomenal classic. Back To The Fture Part II is a terrific film that has a terrific story and good acting with good directing and pacing. Back To The Future Part II is a wonderfully crafted sequel that remains a classic and one of the best of three films.

Third entry in the Back To The Future trilogy is a Western of time traveling proportions. Though the weakest one of the three, Back To The Future III is still a fun, adventurous ride with Marty McFly and Doc Brown. This third film is filled with an intriguing idea.that has Marty and Doc Brown traveling to the Old West in 1885. After the events of part II, Marty McFly travels to a pioneering Hill Valley. For a third film, Back To The Future Part III is a good entry, There are things that could have been done better, but director Robert Zemeckis ends his time traveling saga on a high note. One thing that works well for the film is the change of pace and different atmosphere to the first two. The fact that the film is taking place during 1885 makes it very appealing. You have brand new characters played by the same actors and it adds a lot more flavor to it's story. The film has a good blend of comedy and action, everything you'd expect from a Back To The Future film is here, but it's slightly toned down. The film is still a lot of fun and highly amusing, some people may not enjoy this third entry as much as I did, and it's understandable. Like I've said many times while reviewing trilogies, by the third entry a film franchise can loose its fire. But thats definitely not the case with Back To The Future Part III. Robert Zemeckis has made a fine film thats very funny, action packed with all the usually wacky characters And more. A wonderful finish to one of the best trilogies in cinematic history.

Let's go to prison is a borderline average comedy. I did enjoy the film somewhat, but the humour is hit and miss. This could have been a terrific comedy, but it manages to only provide a few humorous quips here and there, but never manages to give you laugh out loud moments. But for some reason, I can't quite dislike this film. Despite the fact that the story is paper thin, the acting is not great whatsoever and theres not really anything going for it. But for some strange reason, I like it. I Let's Go To Prison is a comedy that small on laughs, even smaller on story. The characters aren't loveable, but theres something about this film that I like. I guess I like it because it doesn't try hard enough, it's a simple comedy with a simple idea, and it's nothing elaborate. Dax Shepard who usually is pretty funny gives a mediocre performance and so does Will Arnett, whom I think is fairly annoying here. But I guess thats the whole point. (Personally, I never really like him or found him funny). Chi McBride is sort of miscast here too. Let's go to prison had the potential of being a very good comedy, but the end result is a comedy thats borderline decent and is what I ultimately consider a guilty pleasure

Theres two words that come to mind when I think of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Insanely funny. Of all the Judd Apatow productions, Sarah Marshall has got to be the funniest film out there. This is definitely one of my favorite comedies and I found it to be one of the funniest films in recent memory. This is a film that brings about the worse possible scenario for as guy to recover from a break up, and like most of Appatow's production's, this film is a riot. The comedians involved in the film make the movie funnier and theres many moments that are simply hysterical. Jason Segel plays Peter Bretter and Kristen Bell plays Sarah Marshall, his ex girlfriend who recently dumped him. To clear his mind, Peter takes a Trip to Hawaii, ignoring that his ex has also taken a trip at the same resort with her new boyfriend. What follows is a series of misadventures as Peter tries to cope with the situation. Sarah Marshall is a fine Comedy, a Well written, smart and witty film thats is much better than most films involving love as a story idea. In a way, I feel that this film almost makes fun of the typical romantic comedy formula because the story makes fun of one guys ordeal after the breakup. That is fairly original, and that to me is why the film succeeds. You won't find a funnier romantic disaster comedy than Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Every cast member is extremely funny. but a noteworthy performance here is Jonah Hill as Matthew, the Eager Infant Sorrow fan who Keeps irritating Aldous Snow (Russell Brand), though on screen for less than 10 minutes total during the entire film, Hill is pretty funny. This is one of the better "Romantic" comedies because it makes fun of guys misfortune after he breaks up with girlfriend, a truly original amusing comedy film. What makes this film so funny is the diverse cast of comedic talent, and they pull off something memorable, and fun.

40 Year Old Virgin is one the best films made by Judd Apatow. The story follows a middle aged man named Andy, who is a virgin and his friends a co workers.try to help him. The film takes a hilarious turn because Andy's friends try many unsuccessful times to hook Andy up, but to embarrassing results. Judd Apatow script and direction are brilliant, and the film provides many good laugh out loud moments as you see Andy's friends try to help him. The cast is well chosen cast of talented comedians. Starring is Steve Carrell in one of most memorable performances with Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd and Elizabeth Banks. 40 Year Old Virgin succeeds in creating something funny out of a totally embarrassing situation and thats why the film works well. The jokes aren't bland, and always feel fresh everytime you watch it. The film has many memorable quotes and terrific scenes. Judd Apatow has made a fine comedy film that is always a lot of fun to watch. Though at times uneven, the wacky characters and ridiculous story makes up for it's faults. 40 Year Old Virgin is a terrific film to watch with friends and have a good time. The 40 Year Old Virgin is a comedy with a great cast of varied talent and the film succeeds more than once in providing solid laughs. A well written comedy. Really for me the low point was the ending where all the characters start singing that song, I felt it didn't fit, and was extremely silly, even by the standards of this film. Other than that, this film is great.

Major Payne is a good comedy film about a trained Marine and one bad assed killing machine who's been discharged from the Military because his services are no longer needed. After trying to adjust to Civilian (unsuccessfully) he gets thrown back in the Military, only now as the head of a school's JROTC program. Damon Wayans delivers one funny performance as Major Benson Winnifred Payne. Wayan's performance is hysterical and he provides many laugh out loud moments. The film will never win any awards, but you can watch it with the feeling that you'll see something very funny and with Wayans brand of humour, you'll likely have a few laughs even if you don't like the film all that much.Major Payne is the type of film that you can watch with friends or family to have a good time. Damon Wayans performance is unique. Major Payne, the character is the stereotypical type of trained killer who lives only by the military norm. He's good at one thing and one thing only: killing on the battlefield, and when he trains the boys of the local school, he just tries to train them like normal military recruits, and it's funny how the character doesn't seem to understand that they're kids. He does, but he doesn't give them no pity (live normal military recruits). The kids training under Payne do everything to get him to quit, but to no avail. Every plan that they form backfires with hilarious results. I view this film as a misunderstood film, many viewers tend to not like it for all the wrong reasons. Major Payne is a good little comedy with plenty of laughs. The thing that it's got going for it too is that except for one kid in the film, all the kids playing the recruits under Payne, weren't annoying. If you want to watch something funny with Damon Wayans, then this is the film to watch.

Kevin Smith's second directorial offering is a less accomplished film than the impressive Clerks. However the film does manage to have a few good laughs despite the amateur script writing. It's clear that Mallrats is an effort from an up and coming director, and it does manage to have comical moments, and be lots of fun. But it's clear that Kevin Smithis still trying to work his formula at crafting a truly unique comedy. His efforts would pay off in later works such as Dogma and Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back. Mallrats has a simple, but effective story. Like many of Smith's works, the film is clad with insane dialogue and slapslict humour. Mallrats is a fun comedy, not perfect but definitely not bad whatsoever. Theres room for improvement, and I think Smith realized that as well, and he would craft better films as he progressed. But it's all part of starting to direct, right? Mallrats is a good sophomore effort, and manages to make you laugh. The film is interesting to watch because it shows how Smith has evolved over the years and today he has some of the most memorable comedies under his belt (Dogma, Zack &Miri make a porno and Clerks II) all terrific films. Mallrats is a funny and pretty plotless film that is is one of Smith's overlooked films. A fun film that has plenty of laughs. Smith manages to make a plotless film interesting with it's unique characters and humour.

Animal House is THE classic teen comedy film. This film is one of director John Landis many classic films. Animal House is a wonderful comedy, and quite frankly, it's probably one of the best films in the genre. Theres some incredible talent on screen, John Belushi, John Vernon, Donald Sutherland and Tom Hulce to name a few. The comedy isn't irritating like most otherteen comedies, in fact the comedy here is well written, very funny and above all original. Animal House was made when comedies were at their peak really. Sure nowadays we have great comedies like The Hangover and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. But most comedy films today feel tired, boring, uninspired. But not Animal House. I love John Landis, especially his work on An American Werewolf In London. But Animal House is one of other classics too. The cast here are funny as hell, and John Vernon gives a terrific performance as the grouchy Dean Vernon Wormer. This film is one of the classic comedy films. Many imitators followed, but never has a film come close to Animal House. The film is memorable for many of its scenes. One such example is The toga!Toga! Toga! scene. Animal House is the perfect comedy to watch with friends, have a few beers and have many laughs. Animal House the original college comedy and it's never been surpassed. A true comedy classic.

Toy Story is a groundbreaking film in the special effects medium. This is the first computer animated feature length film. What we have here, is a superb film with great effects and a simple story. The crew at Pixar really did something special here, and Toy Story is a terrific film. From a film stand point, and I'm excluding the computerized stuff; Toy Story is a lot of fun to watch, the characters are funny and witty. And they each are amusing in there own way. Pixar struck cinematic gold with Toy Story, and they haven't made a single bad film since this one. Toy Story is a film for all ages and is a classic, I was ten years old when I first saw this film, and I recently re watched it, and I very much enjoyed this; just like the first time I saw it. A fun film definitely a must see. Toy Story is the perfect film to watch with your family. The film is non stop fun and is very entertaining. This is the film that has put Pixar on the map, and is one of the most groundbreaking films in computer animation. A wonderful accomplishment in cinema, Toy Story is a must see film and one worth watching again and again. The cast are wonderful and are very funny. The characters they portray are all memorable and funny. I enjoyed every minute of it, and Toy Story remains a childhood favorite of mine. Now in my mid twenties, I still enjoy this film and it has stood the test of time.

Slap Shot is one of the greatest sports comedies ever made. Starring Paul Newman in the role of Reggie Dunlop, Captain of the Charlestown Chiefs, this film set the standard for every other sports comedy that came after it. The film is full of memorable, hilarious scenes. After dwindling ticket sales, the Chiefs take on three goons by the names of the Hansons. After a while they start wining and become a household name. Slap Shot is a very memorable film because of the Hansons and all the other assorted crazy characters on the team. Slap Shot is definitely one of the genres great classics. The reason that Slap Shot has struck such a cord with fans of hockey and other audiences is because of the Hanson Brothers, I mean with every scene there in they deliver the laughs and a great time. The characters are all terrific. Aside from the Hansons a character I really like is "Killer" Carson. One scene that stands out for me is when Reggie tries to settle down for a nap and Killer calls Reggie up and says he wants the 100$ bounty that Reggie placed on an opposing players head. I personally thought it was a funny scene and one of the best of the film. Slap Shot is one of the best comedies that you can watch with friends, this film did for hockey fans what Animal House did for college students. One of the best in sports comedies, this is in a league of it's own. A well acted, hilarious ride with Reggie Dunlop, "Killer" Carson and The Hanson Brothers, Slap Shot will bring on the laughs.

This is by far one of the best comedies ever made. The Coen Brothers have crafted one terrific film with The Big Lebowski. A terrific cast is assembled here, and the characters are eccentric and unforgettable. A true Cult classic in its own right, The Big Lebowski is a terrific film filled with laughs, bowling and White Russians. This is one of my favorite films. Some people say that Old School is better, but those people have the intelligence of a 1 year old. This is a film that has stood the test of time, and The Lebowski Fest proves it
Following in the success of Fargo, The Coen Brothers .have created one of the most memorable films. The Big Lebowski is memorable for many reasons. One is The Dude, one of the greatest film characters ever. Why you ask? I'll tell you why, Jeff Bridges is hilarious in the role, and he brings such charisma to the character, that you cannot easily dismiss him. I feel sorry for people who hate The Dude, he probably doesn't abide by the haters anyways. Another reason this film is great is all the eccentric characters besides The Dude. The Coen Brothers have an awesome eye for terrific, talented actors. With the case with The Big Lebowski, they've definitely assembled some of the finest casts since Fargo and Raising Arizona. Theres not a single actor that plays a weak character. Ever character here is enjoyable in some eccentric way. They all deliver something great here. One of best and most memorable performances of all is John Goodman as Walther Sobchak. Goodman makes this film even better. Every scene he's in is memorable. My favorite scene is the one we're he fucks up the corvette, and screams to Larry "This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!" A most humourous scene. The Big Lebowski is a most unique comedy film and I've watched it numerous times, and the film never gets old. Every time I watch, the jokes are still funnier and seem refreshing, they never get old, like most comedies. I think thats one of the main appeal of the Coen Brothers, their Dark comedies, always stand the test of time because after all, they're great filmmakers and know how to not overdo comedic elements of a film. Their films are funny because they don't try to overdue their films and their casts are always top notch actors that can hold up a film. Thats what makes films like this great, good actors+great directors+comedy= One memorable film that will stand the test of time. The Big Lebowski status is proof of that. A true comedy with real laughs.

The Rundown is a good little action comedy film. Though flawed at times, and somewhat confusing in it's action sequences, this film is quite enjoyable, and a lot of fun. Christopher Walken delivers yet a great performance. The Rundown is a good mix of action and comedy, and The Rock and Sean William Scott deliver good comedic performances. The film has well thought out action sequences, and Walken is delightfully evil. This film though good, is slightly overrated. I felt that the film was missing something to make this film really special. But for what it is, The Rundown is a pleasant time waster. This one film that you can watch and have a good time. There's plenty of laughs and action here to please anyone who's looking for a good action comedy film. However, for me this is a film that requires repeat viewings to really enjoy it. No matter what your stance is on the film afterwards, you will be entertained nonetheless.

Waiting focuses on the adventures of employees at shenanigans restaurant. Entertaining film with gross out humour, Waiting gives a wacky glimpse at the employees at Shenanigans. The story follows Dean as he's been working through 4 years at the restaurant. Waiting is a pretty funny film, if you can stomach it. Some parts are pretty gross, especially when the characters play "The Game", which I won't reveal here, but that other reviewers know what I'm talking about. Waiting is a fairly ordinary film with good, sometimes hilarious moments. The cast do a decent job and the characters are simply wacky. Waiting may not be the best film in the genre, but it does manage to bring on a few great laughs, and considering the setting is a restaurant, the filmmakers were able to pull off something quite good here. The film is nothing spectacular, but it's one that you watch with friends and have a good laugh. Theres not exactly great writing in the film, as some have pointed that it's similar to Clerks. However unlike Clerks, this film has no future legacy. Clerks broke new ground in the genre. Waiting follows but to less effective results. Still Waiting has plenty of laughs and good moments that make this a unique film to. Not to mention that this film is also one of the rare moments that Dane Cook is actually funny.

For years, I've always took Oliver Stone's films to be mediocre, his last good film was Natural Born Killers. After that, his career was a constant string of mediocre films. But W. is a better film than what his recent films have been. This is one of Oliver Stone better films in recent memory as Alexander and World Trade Center weren't good. But in W. Stone paints a unique portrait of one of the most controversial in recent memory. Josh Brolin delivers a strong performance as George Bush, and in the film he really does look and act like him. The film follows the rise of George Bush from University to his run for Governor to his presidency. The thing that surprises me the most about the film is the fact that this was released while Bush was in office. The film has a good dose of drama and comedy, as the film tends to show the ineptitude of George Bush. The cast alongside Josh Brolin is well picked and give great performances especially James Cromwell who gives a great performance as Bush senior. W. is Oliver Stone's best film since Natural Born Killers. Everything from the casting and story is good, but this is not a film for everyone because it kinda drags on at times and it's slow. But to those want a personal look into this politicians life, then give W. a viewing. W. is a near flawless portrait of George Bush, not perfect of course but it gives you a look at his life and his presidential legacy, as much as George Bush was hated by the general public, he has made an impact in politics.

Eulogy is one bizarre comedy that brings a lot of laughs. When the patriarch of a dysfunctional family passes on, his family gets together in the same house the funeral and all hell breaks loose. With Eulogy you have a wonderful cast that are all funny in their own way. Eulogy is one of the most original comedies to come along in a while. Eulogy has a terrific cast of well known actors such as Hank Azaria (The Simpsons) and Ray Romano (Everybody loves Raymond) Eulogy takes a sad event and makes it funny. Very funny in fact. This is actually one wacked out comedy film, and I enjoyed every minute of it. The cast did a great job and the story was just so much fun, a dysfunctional family are forced to be together to bury their father and grandfather. What could go wrong? well, everything. it's such a hilarious ride that you can't get bored. At times the film is uneven, but considering the cast involved, Eulogy is a terrific comedy that has more highs than lows. The jokes are great and theres plenty of good scenes. One things for sure, the family in the film have a strange way of being bereaved. I really enjoyed the film because it was a different type of comedy, and one that was very refreshing. Every cast member brought something great on screen, and the laughs kept coming one after another. If you haven't seen this comedy, you should. This film is very good and is much better than most mainstream comedies out there.

The Amateurs is a terrific comedy about a man who seeks to make a quick by making a porno and enlists his buddies. They set out to make an amateur porn film. The plot may seem a tad uninteresting and maybe offensive to some, but it's definitely not. The film is a well acted, and plot film that actually has heart. The film is not what you'd expect. I was pleasantly surprised with this film and I thought the cast delivered great performances. In The Amateurs you have a mixed bunch of talented actors and they all bring something unique to the screen. The Amateurs is a film that borderlines on drama, as it has a few dramatic bits because the lead character Andy, tries to reconnect with his son after a divorce, which by the films end, does just that. I really believe that this is an underrated Comedy drama film. Critics have been unfair to this one and really how can they give this film a bad review? Sure it's not everyones cup of tea, but The Amateurs is charming film that has a wonderful cast of actors and good comic moments. I'd say that The Amateurs is a feel good film. One thing that is a big plus for the film is it's ensemble cast of talented actors, Jeff Bridges, Ted Danson, Tim Blake Nelson and Joe Pantoliano make this film enjoyable. What we have with The Amateurs is a very well acted comedy film thats very underrated and that doesn't follow the usual stupid formula of every other comedy out there. Sure the plot is silly a bit, but it's smartly crafted and with the cast at hand, they really make this film work well. A wonderful comedy that so many critics haven't realized how good it really is.

A very funny documentary about male bonding. The film focuses on a new type of sport called The Outdoorsmen. A hilarious documentary, The Outdoorsmen is the type of film you watch with buddies accompanied with a case of beer. In this film the men compete at special events while consuming large quantities of beer. A very well put together documentary, this is a definite film to watch and enjoy. The film should be viewed by people with actual sense of humours, Boring people won't enjoy this.

The first cinematic outing by Pauly Shore is a half decent comedy. Though fun, and comical at times, Encino Man is not a great film. I see it as an a borderline effort in the genre, and one that can actually be quite forgotten. Encino Man gave us the taste of Pauly Shore, and what was to come with one good comedy and three other bad, repetitive comedy. In Encino Man, Pauly Shore plays a surfer type dude who he duplicated in the many films that followed. The plot is simple, two friends find a caveman in their backyard and use him to gain popularity. Encino Man is a fun film, but it's nothing knee slapping hilarious. Whats funny to me though is how Pauly Shore has faded into darkness and how Brendan Frasier, Sean Astin and Robin tunney managed to all have pretty good careers. Encino Man is a average film with a few laughs throughout, but also you have to keep your expectations low. Nothing really good happens. The films plot is simple, even by comedy standards and the acting of course isn't great. Along with Son in Law, Encino Man manages to be one of the few Pauly Shore films thats watchable. But the film is really a one trick poney with Shore acting like the Weasel. Oh well, at least he made two decent films before being overly repetitive. Encino Man is a comic film with a few decent gags, but it's nothing to write home about.

Son In Law is Pauly Shore's best film, and thats not saying much. The film for me is a guilty pleasure. I found the film quite humourous and actually pretty decent. After this film, Pauly Shore really became unbearable, and he faded into obscurity. However theres an appeal to this film that makes it pretty decent. Of course the film is not the best, but theres laughs to be had here and Shore manages to be pretty funny (a rare thing, I know) Theres only two films of Shores that I like this one and Encino Man, and I'd say there the only of his films worth checking out. Don't even bother with In The Army Now, Bio Dome and Jury Duty, All crap! But Son In Law isn't too bad. For a Pauly Shore film its pretty decent and manages to bring on laughs. Mainly due to the other cast members starring alongside Pauly Shore. The film is of course eneven, but it does manage to succeed where other Pauly Shore films have failed, make you laugh. After Son In Law, Pauly Shore really became repetitive in his comedy delivery and became unfunny very fast. But I have a soft spot for Son in Law, it's not a perfect comedy by any means, but it manages to make you laugh a few times without being too irritating. This along with Encino Man are Pauly Shore's more watchable films. After Son in Law, he became an irritating bore.

Adventures In Babysitting is for me one of Chris Columbus best films. After her friend gets stranded, babysitter Chris Parker must come to her rescue and brings along the kids she's babysitting along for the ride. And it's quite a ride. Whats supposed to be a routine pick up, turns out to be a much bigger problem. Chris and the kids she's babysitting encounter a creepy looking tow truck driver, a group of car thieves and a group of Blues musicians in a bar. Adventures in babysitting is a well made comedy with a good cast of actoir that are very funny in the roles they play. The story is fun, and original and Chris Columbus has pulled out one of his best films. Adventures in babysitting is is a classic and is fun for the whole family. The film has many memorable bits and really its a fun film to watch. The characters are funny especially Daryl.Adventures in Babysitting is a great film to watch and like the title implies is an adventure. The film is constantly entertaining with little boring parts. You are constantly amused as the characters struggle to get home without their parents finding out about what really happened. Adventures in babysitting is one of the finest comedies of the 80's Definitely a film worth checking out and guaranteed to make you laugh a few times. The cast are brilliant and Chris Columbus delivered a well crafted and memorable film.

Based on Chuck Palahniuk's novel of the same name, the film adaptation of Choke is a success. Though not as memorable as David Fincher's Fight Club (also based on a Palahniuk work), Choke is still a fine adaptation. Sam Rockwell brings Palahniuk's conman Victor Mancini to life, and he is amusing on screen. Brad William Henke as the chronic masterbating best friend of Victor, Denny is also great in his role. Though not as thought provoking as Chuck Palahniuk's incredible read, this film adaptation is a very good attempt at trying to capture Palahniuk eccentric work. This adaptation is crazy just like the book, but it's slightly toned down. I very much enjoyed the book and I very much enjoyed this film as well. If you Chuck Palahniuk, you'll most likely love this film. Just watch it with an open mind, most of the elements which made the book are here, but like I said, it's slightly different. The film is sad at times, but theres plenty of comedic elements here to make ita very funny film. This film would be a good comedy on it's own, even if it wasn't based on a Palahniuk novel.

Tropic Thunder is a solid comedy by Ben Stiller. Stiller does a great job an creating another comedy film with a terrific bunch of actors. Also worth noting, this is the only film where Jack Black doesn't suck. Tom Cruise is definitely the highlight of the film in the role of Les Grosman. A film not for everyone, Tropic Thunder is still a must if you love something thats different (usual Will Farrell bullshit) This a different comedy, with wit and has plenty of laughs to spare. It's not a film that will appeal to everyone, but it's definitely a film thats different from most comedies out there. Tropic Thunder is purely and simply some some wacked out unhinged fun. Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr. are Excellent and make this film better than it actually is. Tropic Thunder wouldn't have worked without them involved in the project.
Tropic Thunder obviously pokes fun at Hollywood in general, and does a great job at pulling it off. Not everyones cup of tea, but for those who like brainless comedies, then watch this film.If you hate Stiller's work then you'll probably hate this film too. However this is a fun comedy and for what it's worth, it's a well acted film, even considering Jack Black is on board and well told film.

For me Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland is an interesting take on Lewis Carroll's classic story. I really did enjoy the film, and it's a well made film. I can understand why most fans of the novel are angry, but this is a totally different take on Carrol's novel. You've heard that the story happens when Alice is 19 and returns to Wonderland. Right off the bat, that should give you a hint that its not Lewis Carrol's classic Alice In Wonderland, shes not a child anymore. If you expected this, then of course you'll be disappointed. Alice In Wonderland is a well made, amusing film that if you can get by the fact that Alice is 19 and thinks shes constantly in a dream, then you will enjoy this film. Not Tim Burton's best film, but definitely not his worst. A very enjoyable take on the classic story by Lewis Carroll.

The Sandlot is another one of my childhood classic films. This film is timeless. Every time you watch it gets better and better. The film is very funny and silly. The cast does a great job and all of them bring something special to the table, and it elevates the film to something very memorable. This is the perfect film to watch if you've seen it when you where a kid, and you want to take a trip down memory lane. The Sandlot is a definitive classic and if you've seen it when you were 8 or 9 you need to watch this one again. A truly terrific film that will definitely appeal to you if you love a comedy with heart.

Little Miss Sunshine is a terrific, well crafted film thats very funny, original and refreshing.The cast did a great job and the Directors did a wonderful job at combining drama and comedy in one fhe film. The great thing about the film is that it has a very simply story, and works so well by being different than all the other run of the mill road films. This is a well made comedy drama film with a smart cast. Onbe thing that stood out for me was Steve Carrell's toned down performance that was a welcome change, and it shows that he's able to do something totally different. Little Miss Sunshine is a well made comedy that brings effective laughs by witnessing a dysfunctional family helping their daughter go to Little Miss Sunshine. The film is very funny and it has a well written story with great characters. Though this is not a film for everyone, those who want to watch a different style of comedy film should check this film out. The fact that its different makes it much more enjoyable. The film may not appeal to everyone, but Little Miss Sunshine has a great heart. The film is different and I love it because of that, it takes such an original, refreshing idea that you don't normally think would be a good idea for a comedy, but it works the film is brilliantly written, acted and directed. In time Little Miss Sunshine will surely become a classic of the genre. The film superb acting a d good story are the highlights of this film qand it's impressive how such an ordinary idea can be this funny and dramatic at the same time.

I didn't expect to like Marley& Me, and I haven't read the book. But I did really enjoy it The story is simple, a family live with their crazy dog, and and thus begins a terrific adventure of hilarious mishaps. Marley & Me has a great feel good atmosphere and it really a wonderful family film. However it's very sad too. If you a dog, cat or other pet that you're close too. Well, this film will hit home. Marley & Me is a simple film in its story, it's nothing great really, but it's moving. Theres plenty of hilarious in the film as we see Marley wrecking havoc. This is a film that animal lovers will love, and also in a way, make you love your pets even more. The acting in this film is decent, but the real talent is the dog or dogs that played Marley. Marley & Me is not a film for everyone. I would say this film can connect more to animal lovers. Those who haven't got a dog or cat probably won't understand or like it. The cast do a fine job and I think this one of the better films that Jennifer Aniston has played in. I'm not really a fan of hers, but in this film she's pretty good. Marley & Me is a heartwarming coimedy that is perfect for the family. The film is just as much funny as it is sad and its a nice little film. Not perfect, but it was a very entertaining film, and another good family film worth seeing.

Night at the Museum is a very enjoyable family film. I exactly call it a kids film, more of a family film because it has something for everyone. Theres a terrific cast of actors that hold this film together and the story is very original to boot. The film funny, sweet, and charming. I feel it has a touch nostalgia that brings out the child in everyone. I think that this is an underrated film that deserves more credit. One of the best performances alongside Ben Stiller was Robin Williams as Teddy Roosevelt. Night at the Museum has wonderful special effects and good acting. At times the film is uneven, but in the end you have lots of fun. I thought it was very good and thought it was a terrific film to watch with family. Although not for everyone, this film is terrific for anyone looking for a pleasant 2 hours of solid, entertaining fun. The film is not perfect, but the comedy bits and good performances from the cast should make up for the flaws. A good film thats fairly underrated. This is a fine film starring Ben Stiller who brings a bit of a change to his usual roles, which is a great to see. This is a visual treat for the eyes that provides great fun for the whole family with a good cast of varied actors a well written story, though not the best, it manages to be quite good. Night at the Museum is a wonderful family film thats fun for kids as much as adults.

I never had high hopes for a Vince Vaughn film. I find his style lacks anything truly funny and original. I've hated most of his films because I find he's not funny. However with Dodgeball he is!. A terrific, well told comedy with a good cast of comedic actors that includes Ben Stiller, Justin Long, Stephen Root and Alan Tudyk. After his revival forcloses on his Gym, Gym Owner Peter Lafleur enters a Dodgeball competition in Vegas so he can save his gym. Dodgeball is a hilarious film with many laugh out loud moiments, gquotable lines and decent acting. Of course what surprised me about the film was Vaughn, whom like I mention am not a fan. But here he delivers something good, funny and not irritating. I find him more at ease on screen., his comedy style more natural than his previous work. Dodgeball is simply a very funny film with a great script, a good, varied cast of talented actors that deliver terrific comical performances. Dodgeball is a great film to watch with friends and will definitely ease the mood. There are many things to enjoy about this film, and theres some solid and memorable comedy bits here. A very enjoyable film thats a great departure from Vince Vaughn's regular work.

Raising Arizona was one of the first Coen Brothers films that I saw along with Fargo. The film was recommended to me by my dad, and he told me it was one of the most bizarre comedies he's seen. He was right. Raising Arizona introduced me further to the Coens eccentric brand of humour. Not only that, but it gave me a taste for their wacky characters that tend to grace all their films. Raising Arizona is a hilarious film from start to finish. Right from it's yodeling opening credits to its finish, Raising Arizona is one of the most interesting, and original comedies in the genre. This is an overlooked film by the Coen Brother, and I don't understand why. The story, acting and pacing are all terrific. The film is flawless. It brings big laughs and its ridiculous story is something truly special. Also Raising Arizona is one of Nicholas Cage best films, after a certain period of time he would make more bad films than good. However in Raising Arizona, he really shines and gives one awesome performance. Raising Arizona is one of the finest earliest efforts from the Coen Brothers, and it made me have a biiger interest in their work. This is an overlooked film, that shouldn't be. Raising Arizona is a classic comedy with plenty of laughs and definitely some memorable moments. Every Coen Brothers fan should seek this one out for sure. A classic, and it shows their skills as great filmmakers.

Super Troopers is the only one of two Broken Lizard films that I have seen. The other being Beer Fest. Super Troopers is a hilarious comedy about inept State police who actually try to do some serious police work in order to keep their jobs Super Troopers is in one word, Hilarious. I absolutely love this film, it's zany characters and the shocking humour. Super Troopers is a lot of fun. I have yet to see the groups other work, so I can't compare. I've only seen Beerfest and though funny, it did not even come close to Super Troopers. The cast do a great job at keeping the jokes going and theres never any dull moment to be had watching the film. The Broken Lizard team have written a solid comedy picture, though uneven at times, theres more good things about this film than bad. Super Troopers is a pleasant time waster and offers many laughs. It's no secret why the film has become a comedy classic. The comedy is slapstick and ridiculous but it works well because everyone of the cast deliver great comedic performances and make this film a fun viewing experience from start to finish. Super Troopers is one of the few cop films that successfully delivers genuine laughs and is still a lot of fun to watch after multiple viewings. This film is a terrific comedy, at times uneven, but theres plenty of great bits that overcome the not so good points. A fun film for sure.

Mike Judge is an incredibly talented director. His directorial efforts tend to borderline on the eccentric and the comical or both, which is terrific. Office Space for me is his best film. This film is a classic. The funny thing is, when I first saw it, I hated it. But the film grew on me and grew on me, and I learned to love it and I appreciated it's originality. The cast of talkented actors deliver on screen. The characters and the story is really something unique and quite fun once you understand the idea of the film. When I saw the first I was 13, and I didn't understand why a comedy about office work was funny. But viewing it at a much more mature age, I fully understand it. Office Space is a very enjoyable comedy with many memorable characters, Bill Lumburgh, Bob Slydell, Milton and Michael Bolton. Oddly enough, its main character, Peter Gibbons is not what I'd call I'd call the films biggest strength. I'd say characters such as Michael Bolton, Lumburgh and Milton make this film what it is. Mike Judge's script is very original, and filled with memorable dialogue. Mike Judge has the gift of creating something very funny out of something that normally wouldn't be funny. Office Space is proof of that. Who knew a comedy of the office could be this funny? Office Space is one of those comedies that remains funny after multiple viewings. Mike Judge has crafted a fine eccentric little comedy with wacky, memorable characters, and this film is just a fine addition to the comedy genre.

The Men Who Stare At Goats is a film reminiscent of the most wacky films of the Coen Brothers. The film surrounds a journalist trying to uncover the story about the New Earth Army, a secret unit in the army that uses mind powers to do warfare, they call themselves the Jedi's. The Men Who Stare At Goats is a well acted film with actors who know how not to take themselves too seriously, and the result is very funny. This is a very funny film about something so bizarre, that all you can do is laugh, by no means is the film a stupid film in the sense that the humour is fart jokes or gross out humour, much like many comedies try to do nowadays. This is a well done comedy where the Comedy is of course dumb, but in a good way. A very original film, this is a film that should appeal to Coen Brothers fans. A very weird and funny film, The Men Who Stare At Goats is a film that echoes the most bizarre and funny Coen Brothers films. This film is based on a true story and is hard to believe it is. This is a very funny and bizarre film with great performances from the cast. Jeff Bridges is very good here, and the viewer can notice a bit of The Dude left in him. George Clooney gives an equally good performance. Director Grant Heslov knows how to craft a good story, and as far as a comedy is concerned, The Men Who Stare At Goats is a very good Comedy and delivers a lot of laughs. You're guaranteed to laugh at how preposterous the plot is, and because it is; The film succeeds on many levels. A great cast of actors who know how to not take themselves too seriously in a film thats just as eccentric and bizarre as Fargo is makes The Men Who Stare At Goat a very well done film, original and funny, you won't believe it wasn't made by the Coens. If you love the most bizarre of the Coen Brothers films, then you owe yourself to view this eccentric comedy.

The Simpsons Movie is one of the few animated film adapted from a cartoon series that works. I had mixed feelings about seeing this because I saw the Family Guy "film" and was very disappointed. So I had my expectations pretty low for this one. However, I was very much surprised. I really did enjoy the show and I thought they made a fine transition from the TV to the big Screen. The film does not disappoint and in fact, I think it's an improvement over the last couple of seasons. The film feels fresh, and above all funny. I thought that the film was very well done, and like I said, the humour here is a step above current episodes where its fairly hit and miss. The story is original and a lot of fun. The writers have taken the best parts of the show and left out all the bad. Theres very little to dislike about this film, as the film keeps the essence of the show and still manages to deliver everything we love about the show. I personally thought that this was the best adaptation from a TV cartoon to the big screen since South Park:Bigger,Longer and Uncut. The Simpsons Miovie is a very enjoyable comedy with plenty of laughs and it far exceeded my expectations. I', sure most Simpsons fans that have been disappointed with the quality of episodes of the last 10 years will probably enjoy this film. The Simpsons Movie is a hilarious film that has everything you'd expect from the dimwitted population of Springfield. A future Comedy classic.

Grandma's Boy is one enjoyable stoner comedy. I love this film. Though never really hilarious, the film is fairly humourous and is pretty well done. The plot is simple, but what makes this film work is the comical cast involved. Though not perfect, Grandma's Boy is at times charming, and is a lot of fun. This is the perfect comedy to watch with friends. The film is one of the few Happy Madison productions that I've found to be quite good and funny. Grandma's Boy is a fine little film with a good heart. This a fairly original stoner comedy that shouldn't be passed up. Sure it's not, Cheech and Chong, The Big Lebowski or Harold & Kumar, but Grandma's Boy is still a film worth seeing. I'd say it belongs on the list of the memorable stoner flicks for sure. I enjoyed this films and it's characters. The cast are very funny, especially Joel David as J.P the arrogant game designer who constantly makes robot noises. if you're having friends over for a movie night and want something that funny, and with mindless fun, pop this one in your DVD player. Guaranteed to provide you with a good time and good laughs. Grandma's Boy is a lot of fun and over every film that Happy Madison has put out, this is one of their best films. The Jokes are decent, but the characters themselves make the film what it is. Grandma's Boy is far from the worst comedy film, it has its faults, but as a whole it works well because it's simply a fun film to watch.

Me, Myself & Irene is one of the finest films directed by the Farrelly Brothers. For me, this is Jim Carrey's last funny film. After this film he started going off the deep end, and made a couple of really bad films. But this is a fine Swan song to a good comedic actor. The humour in this film sharp, witty and crude. But thats what makes it so funny. Renee Zellwegger gives her only good performance of her career, as she's quite the bad actress. However in this film, this is one of the best comedies that the Farrelly Brothers have made. The humour in Me, Myself & Irene is very low brow as you'd expect from the Farrelly's. This is one of their best films. Jim Carrey is very funny in this film, and it sucks that he hasn't made anything watchable since this film. The cast do a good job here. Theres plenty of scenes that are memorable, especially every scene involving Jim Carrey's sons. The film is very well done, with non stop laughs. The humour may not appeal to everyone, but for fans of most of the Farrely Brothers films, you won't be disappointed, I personally preferred this film over There's Something About Mary. Some of the cast are surprising, I did not expect to see Richard Jenkins here and Chris Cooper, both have played in excellent films, but it's great to see them doing something different. Me,Myself & Irene is one of my favorite comedies and it definitely brings on big laughs, a great comedy.

Dude, Where's My Car? is a fun, dimwitted comedy about two hards partying stoners who've like the title of this movie implies have lost their car. The film is flawed yes, but it manages to be fun and wacky at the same time. This is the type of comedy you have to shut off your brain to enjoy, it really is the only way to. The gags on screen are bearable and the story is ridiculous but fun. I would say that this is one of my many guilty pleasures. The story is paper thin, and the acting isn't great, but to me, theres a certain appeal that I like about this film. The film is fun if you're in the mood for something totally stupid. If you don't like this type of humour, then Dude where's my car? is not the film for you. The film does manage to make you laugh, but it's never anything too hysterical. The funniest bit of the film were the chicks looking for the Contiuum Transfunctioner. I thought that was absolutely wacked and very funny. Kutcher and Sean William Scott are likeable, nothing too great. But I thought they managed something pretty decent. Dude Where's My Car? was never meant to be a comedy classic. I view it as an average enjoyable comedy with decent laughs. The film is fun, if you're in the right state of mind for this type of humour. Dude Where's My Car? is harmlesss fun simple as that.

Strange Wilderness for me is a harmless comedy. Sure the film is definitely not a classic, but it did make me laugh. People take the film seriously, and thats why they pan it. The can't appreciate something comical. This film is much better than most comedies out there. Strange Wilderness is a much better fil that Semi Pro for example or Land Of The Lost. Sure the film could have been better, but compared to most Happy Madison failures (Paul Blart, Deuce Bigalow, etc) this is a good film. This film is not great, but it's good. Strange Wilderness is the type of film that you watch when you have nothing else better to do. The low brow type of humour may not appeal to many, as I came to notice by all the negative reviews. However Strange Wilderness is a film for people who have a vulgar and twisted sense of humour (thats why I like it, cause thats my sense of humour) Now I'm not saying that this is as good as The Hangover, far from it, but this film has some really funny moments. This is by far along with Grandma's Boy one of the better Happy Madison productions. May not win any oscars or be remembered as a great comedy in the years to come, but for what it is; it will make you laugh if you have a twisted sense of humour. One of the weaker aspects of the film is Joe Don Baker, I can't stand him, he is by far one of the worst actors I have ever seen. He basically plays the same character in every he does, and he ruins it. They totally missed the mark in doing so. Again, Strange Wilderness is not for everyone, but if you like harmless fun, then this film is for you.

Hot Rod is a very surprising comedy that is fairly underrated. The film is not excellent, but it manages to bring on a few good laughs. The plot is very simple, and the acting is decent, nothing really good, or great. The gags are pretty and funny and the film is the type of comedy that you musn't take too seriously to enjoy. SNL's Andy Samburg plays Rod Kimble, an amateur stunt man who , well pretty much sucks. His attempts at stunts often end with embarrassing hilarious results. The film shows that you're able to create an effective comedy using a minimal plot with witty dialogue, and ridiculous scenes. Sometimes comedies that try to use similar formulas fail because they don't have the necessary energy. Hot Rod has that energy because though silly and stupid, it's characters are wacky and funny. At times the film is uneven, but what keeps the film going and entertaining is watching Rod humourously played by Samburg, attempts his stunts. Rod tries to raise money to save his step father from dying as he needs a heart transplant so that Rod can "kick his ass" for his respect, he plans on doing one big jump to raise the funds. The film is a lot of fun, and the fact that it's not a film that takes itself seriously makes it enjoyable. Hot Rod is a silly film with heart, a cheesy Hair Metal soundtrack by the band Europe and lots of stupid stunts. This is definitely a fun film to watch.

Tommy Boy is by far Chris Farley's best film. Tommy Boy is a very underrated comedy. The film won't win any prizes, but it definitely is a good comedy. Critics have been unfair to this film Tommy Boy is a funny film that is actually quite fun. This film is yet another example of how critics can misinterpret a film. Tommy Boy some very funny moments and is underrated. After the slacker son of an auto parts company called Callahan auto, once Tommy graduates after seven years, he is tapped to work at Callahan. Not only that, but he finds out that his father is engaged to a beautiful woman. At the wedding, Tommy's father suffers a fatal heart attack, leaving the heavily in debt company to stock holders and such. Tommy offers to go on the road and sell break pads to save the company. As this happens, Tommy's salesman ship takes a turn for the worst and he ends up failing to very humourous results. The film is not great, but manages to be entertaining fun nonetheless. I've always had a soft spot for this film and I really do believe it's an overlooked comedy in the genre. There are better films out, granted; But Tommy Boy still manages to bring out good laughs. This is Chris Farley's funniest film, and is definitely worth seeing, not perfect but pretty good nonetheless.

Bowfinger is a terrific comedy film. Steve Martin delivers a great performance. I'm usually not a big fan of Eddie Murphy, but in this film he truly is hilarious and gives one terrific performance. A unique comedy, Bowfinger is different from other comedies. The humour is smart, and the acting is great. Which is something that won't appeal to many film viewers, but to those who love this type of humour, give this film a view. The films story is very original, and Martin and Murphy give hilarious performances.

Private Parts is a film based on the life of Howard Stern. The basis for this film was his autobiography, Provate Parts, which I preferred to this film. But the film manages to be a good comedy about Stern's rise in the radio industry. As a person who studied in radio, I of course enjoyed this film, and in many ways inspired my decision to study radio. Howard Stern and his crew plays themselves and do it well. The cast alongside Stern are good and very entertaining too. Private Parts like Sterns radio show is a lot of fun, with many humourous bits but at times uneven. The film succeeds at being funny but Stern's book was better. Fans of Howard Stern will most likely enjoy this film as it is fairly well done. Private Parts is a good comedy and considering that Stern plays himself, its a big plus. Paul Giamatti plays a young executive at WNBC and tries to control Howard Stern, but Stern becomes more and more popular. As the film unfolds, we get to see Sterns brand of shock radio reach popularity. The film is very funny and also interesting because it shows how Stern became one of the biggest names in radio and pioneered a new form of radio: Shock Radio. People hate Howard Stern, but those who hate and love him can't deny the influence he's had on radio. This film shows that, and is a very entertaining film too. As a radio broadcasting graduate, I thoroughly recommend this film.

The first Jackass film is one of the craziest comedies that I've seen. The big screen debut of TV's hit show, Jackass brings to the screen the cast of professionals from the hit tv show doing what they do best= stupid stunts. In this film they have more liberties to do the stunts that they couldn't do on the show and it delivers in spades. Right from the opening of rent a car crash derby to it's final stunts, Jackass: The Movie is one funny ride. Fans of the show will be pleased because the boys do even more extreme stunts this time around. Sure this is a stupid film, but it's also mindless fun. There are some unfunny bits too here, Preston Lacy and Wee Man were never funny to me and they always do something that doesn't make me laugh. But the rest of the cast deliver the laughs. Jackass is exactly the type of film you watch with friends and you definitely have a few good laughs as you see these guys attempt the stupidest stuff you've ever seen. It's pretty funny how we see grown men do this. Jackass The Movie will never be considered a classic, but it should be seen as a mindless form of comedy, a film thats very entertaining and a lot of fun. For me this is the funniest one of the three films and theres plenty of humourous bits here to not bw bored out of your skull. This is humour at it's lowest form done by the best, and it's guaranteed to make you laugh or make you smile at very least.

An effective comedy film directed by Ben Stiller, Zoolander is about a fashion model by the name of Derek Zoolander who is the most famous fashion model in the industry. A very enjoyable film, Zoolander has a great cast of comic actors. Starring alongside Still is his father, Jerry, Owen Wilson and Will Farrell (who was in his prime, and funny too).Zoolander is an enjoyable comedy with silly humour throughout. The film is funny and has a good idea for the plot. But at times the film struggles, but luckily the comedic performances of the cast keeps this film entertaining even if it's somewhat tiring at times. The film pokes fun at the fashion world, and nearly every fashion cliche is here. With cleverly written dialogue, the film works well enough to keep this film fun. The cliches presented in the material is mocked with very humourous undertones and you're nearly always laughing at the stupidity of it';s main characters. Ben Stiller is funny here, but this is not one of his best performances. Zoolander is a silly, entertaining film that is very funny, but never really is anything memorable. The film offers good laughs and a good time, but in the next ten years, this film will most likely be forgotten, if it hasn't already. Stiller's Tropic Thunder is a much finer comedy film than this. Zoolander is fun, but never quite fulfilling.

Wayne's World is fine little comedy film that doesn't take itself seriously. Thats what makes this film such a classic. Wayne and Garth get an offer to air their show on a major network, and they can't refuse. The film is hilarious and features a rocking soundtrack, and many rock references. Also to note is a cameo by Meat Loaf and Alice Cooper. This is a terrific, mindless and fun comedy that if your looking for a few good laughs, Wayne's World will provide you with them. The second sequel is great, but this first film is very excellent indeed. A comedy that should appeal to anyone who want a good laugh, this is a film to watch.

Wayne's World 2 is the perfect example of a better sequel. The film is even more enjoyable, and features some awesome cameos. In this one, Wayne decides to put on a concert after he has a dream about Jim Morrison. Funny, comical, and silly, Wayne's World 2 is a terrific sequel. Mike Myers displays a great prose for comedy, and he delivers something great on screen, same goes to Dana Carvey. Both actors delivers laugh out loud performances, and Wayne's World is actually, for a comedy sequel; even better than the first. Well, I've watched this film over 20 times, more times than the first, and I always come back to this sequel because I find that all involved had more confidence and were able to pull something even better the second time around.

South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut is a very funny comedy, the story revolves around the boys going to see the new Terrence & Phillip movie, and it has warped their fragile little minds. What follows is them using a mouthful of varied vulgarities and thus their parents seek to wage war on Canada. What follows is an intense campaign against Canada. The boys try to talk sense into their parents, but it falls on deaf ears. This film is a terrific comedic ride, and Trey Parker and Matt Stone bring Their TV show to the big scree so effortlessly. A funny film from start to finish, but be warned this film is not for everyone. This the best tastless Comedy film ever made, and I mean with the greatest compliment, just when you thought they could push the envolope of good taste, they went further still This is one crazy film not to miss!

Trey Parker and Matt Stone were never exactly effective directors. The creators of South Park have made one great film (South Park, Bigger, Longer and Uncut) and one bad one (Orgazmo). With Team America: Worl Police they bring an interesting concept to their unique brand of humour. The premise is basically a more vulgar version of The popular 1960's TV show Thunderbirds. The result is a film that is crude, obscene and very funny. However this film is not for everyone. You can expect something from the creators of South Park to be totally off the wall, and Team America is most certainly that. However, theres a smart hidden under this veneer of vulgarities and obscenities and you have to admire Parker and Stone's idea behind the film. The humour here is very silly and crude, but if you're looking for a good laugh, you should check out this film. The film doesn't rival the South Park film, but Matt Stone & Trey Parker create something memorable here. The film has everything you'd expect from something created by the creators of South Park, crude, vulgar humour, memorable quotes and scenes and insane characters. This is one comedy that really delivers big laughs, but it's not a film for everyone. But to those who like this type of humour, you'll have a blast watching this.

Mike Judge adapts his hot TV show to the big screen with very successful results. I use to follow the show, and I really did like it, this adaptation by the shows creator is one great comedy film. After their TV is stolen, Beavis & Butthead try to find their TV, but instead get involved into a lot of trouble. They get used as pawns by arms smugglers and they get chased across the country by an ATF agent (Robert Stack) who is obsessed with giving every suspect he encounter a body cavity search. The film is along with Office Space, Mike Judge's best film. The jokes are terrific, and the script is well written. Who knew that a TV show would make a great film? Beavis & Butthead is a terrific small screen to big screen transition, and its the perfect example on how to properly do a film based on a TV show. Mike Judge is a terrific director, and he crafts one of the best animated comedies I've ever seen. Theres a colorful cast of actors that give their voice talents aside from Robert Stack. Greg Kineer, Bruce Willis, Demi Moore and Clris Leechman are all terrific and each one makes this film something truly unique. Do America is a well made comedy with lots of laughs as we see these two dimwitted teens tryo to find their TV and go on the adventure of a lifetime in the process.

In the history of comedy, there has been a few films that have stood out above all the rest due to the fact that the comedy is so original, risky or timeless. For example Stanley Kubrick's 1964 classic film Dr Strangelove is timeless for a number of reasons, one of those reasons was Peter Sellers' numerous hilarious performances. Another was the fact that the film was made at the height of the cold war. Airplane! is possibly the funniest, and best comedy since Dr Strangelove. The film parodies every airplane related disaster film in vivid detail. The cast are talented and bring out big laughs. Leslie Nielson himself was uproarious in his role. Lloyd Bridges as well stood out too. The rest of the cast do a fine job and are terrific. But Bridges and Nielson stole the show for me. Airplane! is by far the best parody film ever made. Films that came after it practically tried to rip off this classic with often very mediocre results. The thing with Airplane! is the jokes start comical, but as the film progresses, they become even more hilarious. Airplane! is a comedy classic and remains refreshing and funny to this day. The superb cast deliver something great on screen, something not seen since Dr Strangelove. Most films that have seeked to parody films have failed, but Airplane! succeeds in providing great laughs because the humour doesn't feel forced, it feels natural. With all the witty humour, it's no wonder why Airplane! is a classic of the genre. If you're looking for a terrific parody that actually is funny, then give this one a view. This film remains one of the best comedies ever made, and it's easy to see why.

Canadian Bacon is a very underrated comedy. Directed by documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, Canadian Bacon tells the story of an unpopular U.S President trying to gain popularity in the polls by trying to start a new cold war with Canada! As a Canadian I found this to be a very funny film filled with the usual stereotypes. Michael Moore's script is witty and original. The cast headed by John Candy (in his last role) are all terrific. Each bring something to the screen which makes Canadian Bacon an above average comedy. This is a very clever comedy with political overtones and it works. John Candy is terrific in last performance. I though he brought on big laughs here as a dimwitted American Sheriff. The only thing that really sucks about this film is that it's Candy's last. Canadian Bacon is an original comedy with plenty of laughs that shouldn't be overlooked. Unfortunately it has, and it unfair because Canadian Bacon despite not being a flawless film is really a lot of fun to watch. If you're Canadian like me, you'll understand it's humour a lot more. Most people that this film a bad review seem to miss the point of this entirely. Oh well. Canadian Bacon is a well written, acted and surprisingly accomplished film by Michael Moore. The film may not appeal to everyone, but to those who enjoy such humour, you're in for a treat. This film is a definite comedy classic (for me at least).

Mel Brook's Spaceballs is a very funny Star Wars spoof. Not only is the film a Star Wars spoof, but it manages to poke fun at many other films too. Notably, Alien, Indiana Jones and The Temple Of Doom and Planet Of The Apes. Mel Brooks is a terrific comedic director, and if you've seen his previous works such as Bazing Saddles and Young Franstein; then you know what to expect. Brook's flair for creating effective humour is present throughout and the jokes are funny in the typical Mel Brooks way. The cast that Brooks has assembled a fine cast of comedians here. John Candy, Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman all deliver something comical and enjoyable on screen. Spaceballs is an enjoyable film that should be seen with friends and it provides the viewer with two hours of good, funny entertainment. If you've seen the films it parodies, then it's a lot more fun of course. Spaceballs is a good comedy with plenty of laughs The acting is fairly good, and Spaceballs is one of the best spoof films aside from Airplane! The gags are over the top at times and fun. Mel Brooks' script and directing are terrific, and Spaceballs is a very original spoof film that doesn't get enough credit. Spaceballs has all the usual Mel Brooks trademarks, zany characters, an over the top story and of course good comedy. Spaceballs is terrific parody film and is, along with Airplane! my favorite parody film.

The Farrelly Brothers have made some very memorable comedies. Dumb & Dumber, There's Something About Mary, Me, Myself & Irene to name a few. Kingpin though is one of their best. Kingpin is the story of a once great bowler who due to a con gone awry got his bowling hand cut off, thus ending his career. Twenty years later, Roy Munson is a down on his luck sales who one day discovers at a bowling alley, a talented Amish bowler. Roy proceeds to take the Amish Boy, Ishmael under his wiong and proceed to make him a bowling champion. Kingpin is a hilarious comedy with some of the funniest gags I've seen in a comedy. Woody Harrelson and Randy Quaid are terrific on screen, and Bill Murray also delivers some laughs in the role of Ernie McCracken. The Farrelly Brothers continue to build on the comedy after their film Dumb & Dumber, but this time, their comedy a lot more confident here than it was with Dumb & Dumber. Dumb & Dumber felt it had to prove something to be a great comedy, but Kaingpin feels more confident about the subject and its actually at times more funny. Dumb & Dumber is a classic, but Kingpin feels like the Farrelly Brothers didn't have to prove themselves as good comedy writers. The comedy here is original , fun, and hilarious. Kingpin is an overlooked Farrelly Brothers film that shouldn't be passed up, Dumb & Dumber was great, but Kingpin is just as worthy a follow up to their classic than anything. Kingpin is an unforgettable comedy with lots of laughs.

This is Spinal Tap is a film about the greatest hard rock, heavy metal band that has ever existed. With this film Marty Dibergi follows the band and documents the life on the road with Spinal Tap. This is a film that goes up to 11 and is one louder than every other rock documentary. In this film we get to know the members of Spinal Tap, and their electrifying guitar player, Nigel Tufnel. This is one of the greatest rock documentaries ever made.

Great sequel to Trailer Park Boys: The Movie. Countdown To Liquor Day is a fine comedy that also signals the end of the popular TV show. The boys return in fine form, and their up to the usual easy money scams. Countdown To Liquor Day is an improved sequel to the original film, and in many ways a better one. The writers are more confident with the material this time around, and they were able to write a film that is much more entertaining, and funny than the first. I really enjoyed the first film, but I preferred this sequel because it was a lot funnier than the first, and like I said, it was a better written sequel. The usual things we expect from a TPB film are here and all the zany characters we love are also here. Ricky, Julian and Bubbles are all as funny as as ever. Countdown To Liquor is a much more accomplished and confident film, and it ends the series on a high note. I expected the film to be good, but not this good. This is a terrific comedy with plenty of laughs. Filmed in the mockumentary style of the show, Countdown explores new ideas that we never saw on the show.Which I think is one of the movies biggest strengths. Countdown To Liquor Day is a fine Swan Song to one of the best Canadian shows ever created. Those who love the Trailer Park Boys will definitely enjoy this hilarious sequel.

Burn After Reading is by far one of the funniest Coen Brothers films since The Big Lebowski. A washed out CIA anaylist who is fired from his job due to his alcoholism decides to write a memoir on his experience in the CIA. unfortunately, a floppy disc containing the memoir is in the possession of two gym employees as they find it in the womans locker room "it was just lying there.." They decide to sell the "secrets" to the Russian so that the Frances Mcdormand's character, Linda Litzkie whjoi works at the gym and who is partnered with Chad Feldheimer can pay for her plastic surgeries. As you might have guessed, it a messed up plot, but one thats down very well, in pure Coen Brothers fashion. Lots of laughs abound in this film and a lot of eccentric characters grace this laugh out loud comedy. A truly unique film that only the Coen Brothers could make.

Bottleshock is the story of the 1976 Paris Wine tasting and how a group of Winters from the Napa Valley in California outclassed the French Wines at the tasting. One of these wines is the now famous Chateau Montelena, the wine that beat the French. This film follows the story of Chateau Montelena as a British wine expert by the name of Steven Spurrier selects the best wines of the Napa Valley to compete against the best of the French. In his search, he is surprised at the quality of the wines and selects the Chateau Montelena along with a few other to compete. the Cheateau owner, Jim Barrett doesn't want to participate as he thinks it's a ploy to humiliate the Napa Valley vinters. However his son, Bo sends the bottles and ultimately is one of the wines selected to participate in the blind taste test. Bottle Shockj is a terrific film that blends comedy and drama, IU believe that this film has gotten a lot of unfair flack. Some people don't seem to realize how good this film really is. Sure, it's not flawless, but it's a well acted film about a very interesting, historical subject. Because after all the 1976 Paris Wine Tasting was a historical event, that changed the wine industry forever. The film has been said thats its less good than Sideways, well honestly, Sideways was overrated to the max and was a boring film that was a waste of a good cast. In my opinion, Bottle Shock is a superior film that shouldn't be dismissed so easily. A surprisingly good film.

Kevin Smith's first comedic outting since he retired the viewaskew films is a hilarious comedy about two friends who are down on their luck and decide to make a porno to pay their bills. Zack & Miri is a terrific departure from Kevin Smith's previous work, and Zack & Miri is an accomplished comedy with wit and heart. Seth Rogen gives yet another great performance here and he's got great chemistry going on with Elizabeth Banks. Both are great on screen. Along Rogen and Banks, director Kevin Smith has assembled a great cast of comedic talent. Most notably porn actresses, Traci Lords (who caused quite a stir in the 8o's due to her underage acting in porn) and Katie Morgan. Both actresses are actually quite good in a mainstream film. Zack & Miri has some previous actors that played in other Kevin Smith films, and it's very interesting to see them do something different. One who really is memorable is Jason Mewes as Lester. Zack & Miri is a well written film and this is a splendid comedy with smart laughs. This comedy is a fun time waster with the usual witty and sharp dialogue you'd expect from Kevin Smith. Zack & Miri is a great change of pace for Smith. Zack & Miri is a well made comedy that like I've previously is charming and fun. This is one of those comedies that is fairly memorable, and I see it as one of the best comedies of recent memory.

Clerks II is one of the craziest and most memorable comedies in recent memory. The film follows events of the first film, and really this is a top notch sequel. I thought it equaled the hilarity of the first, and is in the same league as the original. Clerks II is a very funny film that has a great cast, good dialogue and even more slapstick than the first. Clerk II is pure fun from start to finish, and Kevin Smith has made quite the follow up to his directorial debut. Though a bit lacking compared to the first, Clerks II has many memorable scenes and almost non stop quotable lines. The humour is pure Kevin Smith, and he really delivers something terrific. if you're familiar with his, you know what you're in for. Randall and Dante are working yet another dead end job after the quick stop burns down. Thus follows more crazy adventures and more laughs. Clerks II is the type of film you watch with friends to have a good time. The characters in the film are just crazy, dimwitted and loveable. Kevin Smith has made a fine follow up to his debut and really Clerks II succeeds just as much as the original in providing good laughs. Underneath it's veneer of vularities is a comedy with heart, a film that makes you feel happy, amused and guaranteeing you a good time (if you love these types of films) Theres terrific, well written comedy bits here and Clerks II is one well made comedy that will please the diehard Kevin Smith fan.

Dumb & Dumber is the classic Farrelly Brothers film. If you have to see one fil by them, make it Dumb& Dumber. This is one of the funniest comedies that I have seen, and is one of my favorite too. Granted it's not everyones cup of tea, but to those who love Jim Carrey, especially his early work, then Dumb & Dum,ber remains one film that is probably his best. The idea is simple, and Jeff Daniels & Jim Carrey deliver great comedic performances. Dumb & Dumber is still funny after all these years and is for me, a comedy classic. The film reminds me how Jim Carrey was funny back in the day, while nowadays he's making nothing but trash. Dumb & Dumber is a terrific hilarious film that you can watch with your friends and have great movie night. Sure the film is very stupid, but thats the whole idea of the film. Don't go watching this and expect something smartly crafted like The Shawshank Redemption, because you won't find it here. For what it is, Dumb & Dumber is a well crafted comedy with great gags going for it and if you're looking for something memorable and funny, then you should give this film a viewing. This is one of Carrey's best comedic performances, and it reminds that he was once funny. The Farrelly Brothers have crafted a great comedy with Dumb & Dumber, but to really dig its humour you have to open up your sense of humour a bit as some of the gags here will not appeal to everyone.

Fubar is a mockumentary type film about the headbagin subculture of Calgary, Alberta. We are introduced to two metalheads, Terry and Dean as the primary subjects of this documentary. We are shown such traditions as shotgunning beer like a man and listening to the healing power of heavy metal music. Fubar is a cult classic of Canadian cinema, and as many reviewers have pointed out, this is the best mockumentary since This Is Spinal Tap, and it is. Fubar is hilarious from start to finish, and it amazes me how they were able to pull that many laughs out of a simple idea. Fubar won''t appeal to everyone, only the metalheads and hardcore beer drinkers will enjoy this film. Documentary film maker Farrell Miictchner documents the exploits of Terry and Dean and the banger subculture in general, what we get is a lesson in drinking beer like a man and how a close nit friendship can save another friend from testicular cancer. I've basically summarized the story, and thats all it is really. But it's interesting how they were able to pull out so many laugh out loud moments with a few simple ideas like that. Fubar has all the cliches of the headbanging subculture and if you love heavy metal music, then you'll love Fubar. If you're easily offended by vulgarities, then I would skip it if I were you. But if you love mockumentaries, then give'r and give Fubar a viewing. Just remember that everything you see here is to make you laugh hard, so let loose, shotgun a beer, and watch Terry and Deaner give you a life lesson in the heavy metal lane.

Mike Myers is terrific in this Spy spoof based on James Bond. Austin Powers is the world's best spy and he is also the 1960's most recognizable sex symbol. Well played by Mike Myers, Austin Powers is a terrific, enjoyable comedy with plenty of laughs. For those who loves spoof films, this film will be a treat because it's very original despite the fact that it tries to spoof old school Bond flicks. The film is witty and very funny with a terrific cast. Austin Powers is a fun film with plenty of laughs. Mike Myers is simply terrific, and he delivers something great on screen. Austin Powers is a well written comedy thats a lot of fun, and like I said has plenty of laughs. This film along with its sequels are some of the best films that Mike Myers has done. The comedy keeps rolling because the cast do a fine job at keeping the pace of the film. Theres never really anything dull or unenjoyable about the film, it's simply too much gun to point out its flaws. Theres more good things going for this film than bad things. Even after over 10 years since it's initial release, Austin Powers is still a good comedy. Sure of the humour has lost of its fizzle, but with a cast like this you can still laugh at it now and think that the humour is good nonetheless.

The Spy Who Shagged Me is a terrific, hilarious sequel to the first Austin Powers movie. The filmmakers have built on the success of the first film, and crafted a film thats just as good as the original. This second entry also introduces a memorable Austin Powers villain, Fat Bastard also played by Mike Myers. Thew Spy Who Shagged Me is a hilarious film with the usual things that make an Austin Powers film good. This film is a rare example of a comedy sequel that works. The Austin Powers film are an exception because every film in the franchise has something hilarious and memorable\. The Spy Who Shagged Me is a non stop laugh fest with a good cast of comedic actors starring aloingside Mike Myers. This is a fine comedy thats very well written, acted and directed. The humour is top notch and is never dull. Mike Myers who now plays three roles, is hilarious in the roles he plays, and he is simply memorable as the dimwitted villains, Dr Evil and Fat Bastard. The filmmakers have crafted a solid comedy to a really good James Bond parody and it works on many levels due to the clever script. For thjose who enjoyed the first Austin Powers film, this second entry will definitely deliver even more laughs than the first. Everythjing is raised in this sequel and it succeeds in delivering something very funny on screen.

Director of Shaun Of The Dead, Edgar Wright teams up yet again with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost to create the best cop movie in recent memory. Simon Pegg plays London Cop Nicholas Angel, a cop who is too serious and too good at his job. In doing so, he makes everyone else at the London PD look bad. His superiors decide to transfer him to the quiet community of Sanford, where theres little crime. Simon Pegg plays London cop Nicholas Angel, and he's absolutely brilliant in the role. The film is hilarious, and Iconsider a comedy masterpiece. I love this film. The jokes are great, sometimes crude, but they don't overdue it, which is great. Nick Frost Plays Angel's partner Danny Butterman an action movie buff who wants to have a "bad boy" police career. Both actors light up the screen, and like in Shaun Of The Dead, they create something extremely funny on screen. The pair simply go great together, and when you get these two in a film, you get a top notch comedy.
Hot Fuzz has all the elements of a buddy cop comedy, but one thing that really makes it standout among others is the good mix of action and hilarious comedy. Both comedians here are terrific, and the rest of the cast are very funny too. Edgar Wright has made a fine follow up to his zombie comedy masterpiece, Shaun Of The Dead. Hot Fuzz proves yet again that he is a great director who knows how to mix comedy with another genre very well. The film may not appeal to everyone because this is of course a British film and with that said, it's got British Humour. But to those who don't mind that, give this one a shot. The film is truly a work of originality. Even when the action starts, they still manage to do something stupid on screen and the film strongly delivers big laughs. A well constructed film with a good cast, and a good story with loads of laughter and action.

Fanboys is a terrific comedy film for Star Wars fans. I love Star Wars and I thoroughly enjoyed this film. The film is similar to Detroit Rock City, but it's got a Star Wars twist to it instead of a Kiss vibe to it. I can understand why this film has gotten so many bad reviews, but what were you expecting? A film as great as The Hangover? come on. Well me on the other hand loved every moment of it, though there are some parts lacking in laughs, there are more than enough laughs to be had to enjoy this film. You will enjoy the film you like a simple minded comedy, but if you scrutinize everything wrong with this film; of course you'll hate the film. Fanboys is the type of comedy film that shouldn't be seen as the next Hangover. If you've got high expectations that this will be a non stop, laugh out loud comedy, then you'll be disappointed. But if your looking for a film with decent laughs, then this film is for you. It's better than most comedy films out there (Semi Pro, Land Of The Lost)

Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle has got to be one of the best stoner comedies since Halfed Baked and The Big Lebowski. What makes this film unique is that it presents a really simple story, two guys get high then they go out to find the perfect food to kill their muchies, only it turns out to be one helluva journey. This one hilarious film and is actually one of the best comedies of the last ten years. The fact that the story is so simple and it doesn't do anything spectacular makes a worthwhile watch. The film is surprisingly good and very funny. Kall Penn & John Choe are great as the title characters and the laughs are constant and the film is never boring. Sure the film is stupid, but it's also a smartly crafted ride into two the adventures two potheads that go through a stupidity filled adventure to get to White Castle.This will be a future classic of the stoner cinema genre. The film is truly funny and you will definitely laugh at the antics of an oversexed Neil Patrick Harris playing a parody of himself. Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle is a memorable comedy film that still remains funny with multiple viewings. A fun, humourous and crazy film about two stoner friends who try to get their perfect food. Who knew that such a simple idea for a story could work well for a film? This film is proof that a simple idea can be a very funny film. A terrific comedy and one of my favorite comedies.

I really enjoyed the sequel to Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle. This film picks up right where the events of the first film left off. Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay follows Harold & Kumar as they head to Amsterdam for a pot fueled holiday. Unfortunately Harold bring a "smokeless bong" on board the plane, and people think that they are terrorists trying to destroy the plane, they are then arrested and shipped to Guantanamo. This follow up is a superb underrated film that doesn't deserve the negativity it has received. This film is a far better sequelk than most comedy sequels and most sequels in general. Yes, it's not as good as the first, but there's plenty of laughs here that keep the film entertaining and watchable. This sequel some truly insane moments because Harold & Kumar get hunted down by a dimwitted federal agent who is incredibly stupid played by Rob Corddry is simply one highlights of the film. Corddry lights up every scene and he is incredibly funny in this film. Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay is a great sequel with laugh out loud moments and memorable scenes. Fans of the first will most likely like this follow up and I think it's a great film that delivers good laughs.

The Mask is a very interesting comedy film. With brilliant directing by Chuck Russell, The Mask is an entertaining humourous film with style. I thought the plot was very interesting and like I said, interesting. Based on The Mask comic book, The filmmakers have toned down violence and has reinvented a different style for the film. The violence in the film plays out more for comic relief than anything else. Jim Carrey delivers one of his most memorable performances of his career as mild mannered banker Stanley Ipkiss who finds a green Mask and puts it on only to realize the mask has powers that turn him into a prankster. The Mask is terrific special effects laden comedy film with a hint of Sci Fi. The Mask is of course memorable for Cameron Diaz' acting debut, and this is really her best performance of her career. The Mask is a well acted film with a great story, good directing and plenty of laughs. This is one of Jim Carrey's best performances and he is truly electrifying on screen. The Mask is visually appealing, and it has a fairly good story. The film is silly at times, but never goes overboard to become irritating to the viewer. The Mask is an exciting, thrilling film that everytime I watch, I always get entertained. There's never anything boring here, at times, you see that things could have been done better with the film, but fore what it is, The Mask manages to be one, entertaining and memorable comedic ride.

Superbad is one of the most memorable comedies in recent times. The fact that the idea to it's story is so simple is one of the high points of the film. A bunch of teens go to a party, and get booze with a fake I.D and to try to hook up with the opposite sex. That basically sums up the plot of this film in a nutshell. However in trying to get liquor, the teens go through hell, which is hilarious. Starring Jonmah Hill, Michael, Cera and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Superbad is a well written and sharp comedy that is crude, vulgar and does it very well. The film is hilarious. When I saw this in the theatre, there was a family with three young kids maybe around the age of fiuve watching this film, only halfway through the film, that their parents realized it wasn't a family friendly movie, and left long after all the most vulgar jokes were told. I thought that incident was funny. I wrote that in this review to just say that this is not a family friendly film. Superbad is one of my favorite comedies as this film has some of the memorable comedic bits we've seen in a long time. Christopher Mintz-Plasse steals away the show as McLovin and the cops played by Bill Hader and Seth Rogen are also the highligfhts of the film. The Laughs keep coming, and it's very creative considering the simplistic idea of it's plot. If you want a laugh out loud comedy with solid laughs, give Superbad a viewing, you will not regret it.

Dogma is one of Kevin Smith's best films. He has never done anything that has come close to Dogma. Without a doubt, this is my favorite film of his. I love the fact that the film pokes fun at religion, and does it in such a unique it's original. Dogma has one great cast of comic actors including George Carlin, Chris Rock and Jason Mewes. Dogma is a well film with plenty of laughs. I think that it's a smartly crafted comedy film, and like I've mentioned, this is Kevin Smith's best film. I think that his writing talents peaked with this film, and Dogma is really a hilarious film that has many memorable scenes. If you love Smith's earlier work, you will most likely love this new direction. The film is a slight departure from what he usually does, and it works, and works well. This is a well crafted comedy with a strong cast. What I like about Dogma is that it mocks religion and doesn't shy away from it's controversial subject matter. Kevin Smith got death threats from Christian groups over this film. That just shows how messed up religion can be. Dogma is pokes fun at all of this, and Kevin Smith has done something really terrific with this film. He's made fun of something that society "isn't" supposed to mock. Well, Smith did it, and he joins a few other comedians that dare poke fun at something that most people believe in, and at many occasions, go overboard with that belief. Dogma is a well written comedy with lots of the usual Smith Flair that makes everyone of his films good, funny and watchable. He has made other good films since, but for me Dogma is my favorite and I see it as his best film as well.

Ghostbusters has got to be one of the most inventive, and original comedies in a long time. Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis wrote the script to this awesome comedy sci fi horror gem. In the process they created something refreshing and ingenious. Ghostbusters can now be seen as a classic, there are so many things that are memorable in the film, and those elements really made the film what it is. The Stay Puft marshmallow Man attacking New York being one of the prime examples of this film being memorable, another would be Dan Aykroyd's character confronting Slimer for the first time. Ghostbusters is a terrific Comedy Horror film. The film effectively blends different genres to create something new and refreshing. The result is an original supernatural comedy with touches of mystery, horror, and sci fi. The film blends everything so well that you really can't put a label on the genre of this film. It's really a true classic. The acting is great, and the story is very original. Probably one of the most memorable things about this film is the Stay Puft Marshmallow man and of course, Slimer. The actors here are simply terrific, Billy Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis portray the fearless Ghostbusters as they rid New York City of the ghosts of the undead. A terrific film that blends many good genres into one great and memorable film. Ghostbusters is a film that will definitely appeal to different genre fans whether you're a horror fan or comedy fan. This film has something for everyone.

The Original Ghostbusters set a new standard for comedy, horror and Sci Fi. The first was a big hit, and is one of the best comedies with Sci Fi and horror elements. It's only naturally that they would make a sequel to the first one. The question that one who's never seen the sequel will probably ask the age old question, is it better than the first one? Unfortunately no. The film feels more silly than fun, and the characters here are more irritating. What made the original so good was the witty originality and the use of many genres to create a terrific, memorable film. With Ghostbusters it acts more of a comedy as the aspects that made the original so good, are almost entirely absent. The film is very tongue in Cheek, and while the first had a bit of seriousness to its brand of comedy, the comedy shown here is almost frustrating and not original. Ghostbusters was an effective film due to the simple fact that it blended Comedy, sci fi, horror and mystery in to it's well written script. Ghostbusters 2 is an inferior sequel but definitely has good enough elements going for it that it's still a average film to watch. The film may make you divided in the sense that you either don't know if it's good, bad or awful. But if you loved the first entry, and I mean really enjoyed it, then you might be disappointed with this film.
But with this one, it seems a little tired out. But it's still a good film to watch, and has some good creative elements, and despite all its faults, in the end who you gonna call?

Jumanji is one of those childhood favorites thats still relevant as an adult as it was when you were a kid. First where to start, the film is visually stunning with jaw dropping special effects. Joe Johnston' directing is brilliant, and he's able to turn out something really good, entertaining, fun and humourous on screen. Sure the films story line is not all that developed, but it's still an interesting plot. The film is well acted by a good cast of actors including Robin Williams, Bonnie Hunt, a very young Kirsten Dunst and Jonathan Hyde. Jumanji is a must see for the whole family because it makes you rediscover that child inside, at least thats how I feel when I watch this film. The film is still very entertaining today as it was when first released. Robin Williams is terrific and so is the rest of the cast. Jumanji is the perfect family film, no matter how old you are, this film can appeal to different ages. I still view this film as one of my favorite childhood films. Some films from my childhood have lost their spark, and seem dated and plainly irritating and stupid; but thats not the case with Jumanji. Jumanji is a fun filled adventure thats very funny, well directed and well acted. It's rare that a film from ones childhood can still be good even when you're an dult, but Jumanji is one of the few films that is still great and you can watch it with your kids and still enjoy it yourself. A well made film with plenty of laughs, and one that brings back great memories.

Pirate Radio is about a group of 8 Dj's Illegally broadcasting a rock radio show from a ship anchored off the coast of Britain in the 1960's. The BBC back then strongly regulated Radio, and Station in Britain were not allowed to broadcast a single hour of Rock music. So pirate radio stations started popping up. This film is loosely based on those facts. As a former radio student, I absolutely adored this film. It's a film with charm, and camaraderie. The film is funny and is very enjoyable. I loved it. Sure, it's not accurate 100%, but who cares? it's a pleasant time waste, and as a former radio student, this film has my stamp of approval.

Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove is one of the greatest comedies ever made. Not only is it one of the best comedies, it's also a film classic.
At The Time Of it's release, The Cold War was at it's peak. The fact that the film was made during the highest tensions between the U.S and the Russians adds to how great this picture really is. Dr Strangelove is one of the best films in cinematic history. Not only that, it's also one of Stanley Kubrick's best films. The film is one of my personal favorites of his.
Kubrick has assembled a cast of terrific actors including Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, Slim Pickens and Sterling Hayden. Each actor delivers strong comedic performances, and will definitely make you laugh. Of course the most noteworthy performance here is Peter Sellers in three roles, and he pulls them off brilliantly well. All of the roles he plays here are very, very funny. Especially the role of Dr Strangelove, an ex Nazi scientist who is stuck in a wheelchair, and addresses the President (also played by Sellers) as my fuher. That is some of the many genius aspects that Sellers is able to pull off, and the actors staring opposite him are equally unchained. Slim Pickins for one ride the Atom Bomb in one of the most famous scenes ever filmed and George C. Scott is terrific as well. But the best performance aside from Sellers is Sterling Hayden as the paranoid General Jack D. Ripper, who launches a B-52 strike against Russia because he's afraid that the Commie bastards will sap an impurify the U.S's "precious bodily fluids". Stanley Kubrick has crafted a masterwork with Dr Strangelove, a fun ride if you love Peter Sellers. Kubrick has assembled a terrific cast of talented actors, and without them, he wouldn't have been able to deliver such a unique piece of cinema, this film is the true definition of a Comedy film. No cheap jokes or lame humour. Kubrick has written a solid film and the cast deliver smart, comedic performances that has stood the test of time. Dr Strangelove is a film for people who enjoy true comedy, and if Will Farrell is your thing, than I suggest you skip this gem, you may be too pathetic to get this sophisticated humour. The film is very funny and is a true classic of the Comedy genre. Hell this is a classic of cinema.

I remember the first time I was exposed to this film, I laughed so hard at the awkward comedic being executed on screen. These guys created something totally groundbreaking with Monty Python. Monty Python and The Holy Grail is a very funny film with great comedians involved. Unlike many comedy films of today, Holy Grail has stood the test of time because the comedians involved are an incredible bunch of comedians who deliver some of the best comedic performances in a comedy film ever. There is no particular scene that I like the most, but the Killer Rabbit scene is always a favorite. This film ranks up there with Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove as a definite Comedy classic. The cast do an incredible job and they have created one of the best films of the genre. Everyone involved in the film is excellent and Monty Python And The Holy Grail ends up being a terrific film. The jokes never get stale and every time you watch it you will always laugh. One of the reasons this films succeeds on so many levels is because of the terrific number of comedians who deliver memorable performances. The gags are seem still fresh even today 35 years after the release of this film. The comedians involved are not like most of the comedians of today, these guys know how to deliver something totally funny and it has stood the test of time. If you're looking for a comedy that will definitely make you laugh and stay with long after you've seen it, I highly recommend this film. The status of this film is enough to make anyone want to see it. However the film has a special blend of humour and may not appeal to everyone because it's too "British". But to those who like this type of humour and haven't seen it, then go give it a viewing. Monty Python is a well written and acted film with terrific comedy bits. For me, the reason that it has stood the test of time is because of the many silly comedy bits within the film. The comedic elements in this film cannot be topped and with this phenomenal cast of comedians, this remains one of the greatest comedy films ever made. A definite classic.

Postal is a better film by director Uwe Boll. Postal is based on the controversial video game of the same name, and the film is politically incorrect. The film is pretty funny and does a good job at entertaining. Uwe Boll manages to direct a competent film, and it's not dreadful like Alone In The Dark, Bloodrayne, House Of The Dead and In The Name Of The King. A decent enough comedy with politically incorrect laughs to be had, Postal is a live action version of South Park.

Les Boys can be seen as the Quebec version of Slapshot, it's a hockey film for guys. Each Monday a bunch of men join other men in a beer league Hockey team called Les Boys. This is a pretty film unlike those dreadful seperatist advocating Pierre Falardeau films, Elvis Gratton. These movies despite being quite crude and vulgar have something that other films in Quebec cinema are missing out on, Class. This film doesn't deal with politics of any sort and is pure enjoyment. A wild crazy film of a bunch og guys with totally different backgrounds playing hockey. Les Boys is a prime example of a Quebec comedy that illiminates the idea of using the issue of the separation of Quebec as a plot device for comedy. Most films in that province use that issue as a plot device and in the end it gets fucking tiring. Les Boys is different its a smart and fun comedy.

Now in this one, Les Boys are off to Chamonix for a Hockey tornement. They thought it would be a piece of cake, but a series of misadventures makes them think twice. A hilarious film, Les Boys 2 is just as good as the first one, and has just enough wit to spare. The crude comedy remains, and it's still very funny. If you enjoyed the first one, you'll love this one.

Down Periscope for me, at least is a harmless comedy. Down Periscope is one of those films that you either love or hate. People seem to hate it because it's "boring", "predictable" and that the jokes fall flat on their faces. I don't believe that. Sure there is definite room for improvement, but Down Periscope has many funny parts to it. Which I won't reveal, because I don't want to spoil the film for you. Kelsey Grammer plays Commander Tom Dodge who has just been assigned a commission to command a diesel powered sub. He also has been assigned with a crew of misfits. With that, Dodge is ordered to participate in a war game against the U.S Nuclear Navy. The premise of the film is simple, but it's lots of fun if you're in the right state of mind to watch this type of film. The film does provide a few good laugh out loud moments as you watch the ineptitude of the crew unfold. Though not perfect, Down Periscope is a good little comedy ton watch with friends over a few beers. Also this one of the few films where Rob Schneider is actually very funny, his performance in this film makes the film better than you might think. Kelsey Grammer gives a good comical performance as well. Down Periscope may not win any prizes, but it's a harmless fun comedy that has plenty of laughs. Give it a chance, it's better than what most people have claimed it to be. If you're in the mood for a silly comedy, the Down Periscope is the comedy for you.

Who knew that one day Ed Wood's career would make for a perfect film idea? Ed Wood has carved a niche as the "worst director" in Hollywood history. However his story has been a perfect idea for a film. Ed Wood may appeal to fans of Horror as much as Sci Fi and Comedy. However this is a must see Comedy for Horror fans because Ed Wood was a Sci Fi-Horror director. The film is very funny, as we see director Ed Wood's intempt directorial talents. Marvelously played on screen by actor Johnny Depp, Depp gives one of his greatest performances here. Master of Eccentric cinema Tim Burton brings Ed Wood to life. Both Depp and Burton are able to convey asense of surrealism to the screen, and in a story like Ed Wood's, you need a surreal atmosphere to be able to tell such a story. Filmed, in glorious Black & White, Ed Wood is simply a great film. Not only is the film great, but the cast that accompanies Johnny Depp is very enjoyable and amusing to watch on screen. The film chronicles Ed Wood's career from his beginings from Glen or Glenda to Plan 9 From Outer space. This is a fun comedy that mixes elements of cheap sci fi and horror films of the 1950's, just so you get that feel of B movie fare. Tim Burton's technique works, and it makes d Wood more amusing as you watch it. This is one of Tim Burton's best films. Simply a fun film about a misunderstood filmmaker. This is a terrific film, and plays out as an hommage to Ed Wood's intemptitude, and this is a film that no Horror fan should pass on. One might enjoy Tim Burton's flair for having filmed this film in the style of Ed Wood's cheap monster films. That adds flavor to the overal film. An almost perfect film, and one helluva funny film.

Role Models is a very humourous film about two energy drink salesmen who have an accident and are forced to do community hours with a mentorship program. Role Models is an effective comedy with plenty of laughs, and the cast do a fine job at delivering good humour. The film is a fairly memorable one, and one you can definitely enjoy with friends. Tjr cast here are a very good bunch of comedy actors that have starred in plenty of other hilarious comedies, and it's very interesting to see them deliver here. They each bring something funny and original to the screen and you can't stop laughing. Role Models is a witty comedy and has many memorable moments. Paull Rudd and Sean William Scott are hilarious in this film and deliver something great on screen. This is one of Sean William Scott's best comedies and he brings on big laughs. It's funny to see Rudd and Scott's characters try to cope with program as they try to connect with their partners, but with often embarrassing and humourous results. Jane Lynch here gives a truly insanely funny performance as the head of the program. This comedy is almost perfect with few uneven points, but theres more laughs here to be had than bad times. Role Models is definitely a hilarious comedy worth seeing.

Adventureland is a charming, coming of age comedy set in the 80's. What I loved about Adventureland was that it had the feel of of the 80's. A time where music was great, and people had little to worry about, unlike today. The film does a great job at portraying the 80's and I thought it was a wonderful film with a good cast. Surprisingly, a few of the actors here delivered good enough performances that I didn't get bored. Kristen Stewart, Jesse Eisenberg (whom I'm not a biig fan of) both delivered decent performances. Adventureland is a wonderful comedy that does have a bit of nostalgia to it. The film also has a bit of drama thrown in with the comedy and it works well. Adventureland was directed by Greg Motolla who previously directed Superbad, and this film shows the evolution in how he has created a totally different comedy and its a wonderful result. Adventureland is a terrific, well acted film, and it's really a lot of fun to watch. This by far Jesse Eisenberg best film. The cat aside from Eisenberg and Stewart are great. Especially Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig. This is a heart warming comedy with charm and good laughs. I was surprised by this film and how a cast of somewhat mddiocre talent (Stewart, Eisenberg) Weren't too bad on screen. A solid memorable comedy drama film that shouldn't be passed up.

Maverick is a wonderful comedy Western film based on the popular tv show. Starring Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster and James Garner, Maverick is a well acted, plotted and directed Comedy with style. A con man brings his tricks to a high stakes poker game. Along the way, Maverick will find himself in hot water as he tries to outrun unhappy losers, and gets involved in plenty of gun fights. Things go out of hand when the law gets involved. Maverick is a hilarious Western film. The film may not be as grand as the old epics of the 1960's, but this film is a totally different type of Western. The fact that it's different, makes it that much more interesting and fun. The jokes are great and the humour is sharp. The film is always entertaining despite its flaws. Directed by Richard Donner, Maverick combines elements of action, and comedy into this creative Western comedy. The film may be strained at times, and you see that theres room for improvement, but for the most part, the film succeeds in providing the feel of the time. Mixed with witty humour, the film is a superb comedy with a great cast. Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster give strong perforamces. Maverick is one memorable addition to the Western genre. The film may not be as comical as My Name is Nobody, but it's still a funny ride, one that Western fans will surely love. A good viewing experience for sure.

This is the funnier version of Paul Blart, in other words the better film. While Paul Blart was a shit fest of epic proportions, Observe And Report delivers on the laughs big time. The story is fairly simple, but is effective with Seth Rogen pulling off his usual antics, he's a new breed and totally original. His only bad film is Funny People, he keeps on making good comedies. Observe And Report is one of his best and his most insane since Superbad. The humour is vulgar, raunchy and so very wrong. I mean that in a good way of course. I'm a big fan of Seth Rogen and he really delivers another winner with Observe And Report. If you despised Paul Blart: Mall Cop, then check this film out. The story is actually better than Paul Blart, and actually more realistic. Where Paul Blart failed, Observe & Report delivered. This one crazy film from start to finish, and many times while watching it, I was like man this film is really out there. But the film manages to be very funny because it crosses the line that Paul Blart didn't. This film explored a darker more adult oriented story of storytelling, while Paul Blart was too family friendly. The humour is more vulgar and it doesn't hide the fact that it's a crude film, in fact the film feels like it prides itself on being fucked up, crude, and vulgar, and inthis movies, it's a big plus. Observe & Report doesn't take itself seriously, and it ends up being one funny film.

Pineapple Express is yet another terrific example of a good stoner comedy. Acted by Seth Rogen, James Franco, Danny McBride and Gary Cole; Pineapple Express is a hilarious ride. Seth Rogen plays a process server who delivers a subpoena to a drug lord (Gary Cole) and witnesses a murder in the process. Admidst the chaos, Dale Denton (Rogen) drops his joint, and flees. Drug Dealer Ted Jones doesn't take long to kind out who the joint belongs to as the type of weed used in the joint is called Pineapple Express, thus Ted Jones knows who he sold it to very quickly and gets the manhunt going. The comedy in Pineapple Express is well executed and you have some very funny characters. Even if Gary Cole plays the villain here, he's pretty humourous too, I mean he's the guy who played Bill Lumburgh after all. Pineapple Express is a very funny film that delivers good laughs. The film has some great comedic performances and it delivers on the laughs. The film mah be fl;awed, but it succeeds in creating a memorable stoner comedy thats very funny. The film has plenty of great comedic moments and its a very fun and end entertaining comedy.

This is by far one of the BEST comedies in recent memories. The Hangover will surely stand the test of time as this is an original comedy that doesn't recycle jokes from previous comedies.

Thank You For Smoking is a comedy satire film that brilliantly acted by Aaron Eckhart. Eckhart plays a tobacco Lobbyist named Nick Naylor and his job is to make his dangerous product more appealing. The film is a brilliant look at moral and political values and mixes them with smart, well constructed comedy. Aaron Eckhart give a hilarious, witty performance. This film is satire at its best, and is a terrific film with a strong cast of actors. Thank You For Smoking is almost a flawless film. The film successfully combines comedy with a serious topic and the plot is brilliant. The acting here ia solid and every cast member gives a solid performance. Thank You For Smoking is an accomplished satire. Aaron Eckhart's character is well written and Eckhart is perfect for the part. I loved the use of serious content mixed with comedic elements to get the films point across. Thank You For Smoking has a smartly crafted script and the film is almost perfect in every way. I really do recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a good satirical film. One things for sure, despite its uneven moments, Aaron Eckhart's stellar acting make up for it, and it makes Thank You For Smoking a film that has a rich flavorful blend. of delightful satire. This is a smart film that is brilliantly acted and executed. An almost flawless film, Thank You For Smoking is an entertaining worthwhile experience.

WALL-E is a remarkable film that is very well made. Pixar has never made a single bad film in their history and they always come up with the best ideas for films. WALL-E is a simple, but grand film. What is truly unique with this film is that there is barely any dialogue and it manages to be very engaging and entertaining. The special effects are as usual stunning and with every Pixar film, the story is excellent. Whats really remarkable with WALL-E is that the film barely uses any dialogue in telling its story. This film is brilliant and I love how Pixar was able to pull off something so simple, yet so good. The fact the film uses minimal dialogue and relies on two robotic main characters who make electronic sounds would be a challenge in making the film entertaining, but Pixar has that touch to make something uninteresting very appealing and fun. I had low expectations because of this, but once I saw how the film was done, and how everything else fell into place, I really enjoyed WALL-E.The film has some terrific computer animation, a charming story and atmosphere. The Pixar team have crafted a future classic with WALL-E. The film is perfect for the entire family. WALL-E is a remarkable film and is a fun and spectacular viewing experience. Another masterpiece from the dreamers at Pixar Studios.

Monster, Inc is a wonderful family film with all the usual tricks you'd expect from a Pixar film. The film is funny, and charming and the cast here do a great job. John Goodman and Billy Crystal are terrific in this film. Pixar has always delivered top notch entertainment that the entire family would love. The film is a lot of fun, I didn't think it would be this good, but the folks at Pixar always know how to create something entertaining and memorable. Monsters, Inc. is a terrific film thats very entertaining, funny and enjoyable for everyone in the entire family. Monsters, Inc is a fun comedy that delivers everything you'd expect from Pixar. I did enjoy this film very much, but compared to other Pixar greats such as Toy Story, I thought it lacked slightly at Times. But for the most p,art, the film worked, it was visually stunning and appealing and the cast did a great job. Monsters, Inc is an enjoyable film with a guaranteed good time for the whole family. Monster, Inc is a well written film that only Pixar could have made and pulled off so well. Though not flawless, Monsters, Inc is still a very good film. This is a film that the entire family will enjoy and have a good time.

Get Smart isn't a flawless comedy, but it does work well enough to provide enough laughs throughout the film. There are a few parts that are bland, and not really that funny. But for the most part, this is a pretty funny film. A thing I admire about Steve Carrell's work is that it's never old, it's always funny and somewhat refreshing; it's never annoying or irritating like Will Farrell's films past and present. Despite not being the best Carrell vehicle, this is still a pretty funny film and is a good time.

Hot Tube Time Machine has been dubbed The Hangover of 2010. A raunchy comedy, Hot Tub Time Machine has many laugh out loud moments. However the film is a step down from The Hangover, I think it's a travesty to call this film funnier than The Hangover. Although it blends elements from The Hangover and The Back To The Future films, this film is not as memorable. Hot Tub Time Machine has a few laugh free moments which bring the film down a notch. However the film has plenty of good moments to make this film a good enough comedy to watch. Plus Collette Wolfe is pleasing to the eyes. The actor here is Rob Corddry as Lou, this is one of his funniest performances his Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay. He makes the film better than it is. Hot Tub Time Chaine underrated and is much funnier than what many critics have said about it. Sure its gots downs, but it's a bad movie. There's a lot of funny bits here, and even though its not as great as The Hangover, it's still one good movie in it's own right.

Casper is a terrific family film. The big problem with this film is obviously the language. Despite that fact, it's a fun and quite harmless film to watch. The story is simple, but effects are astounding. I think the reason I like this film is because it's a well made, yet simple film with a good intention. The cast does a decent job, but obviously whats most stunning about this film is the special effects. Considering this was made in 1995, this film is a milestone in special effects. Casper is a fun film to watch that will entertain people of all ages. This isn't a typical kid film, I view this film as a family film. A film that you can watch to revisit the best parts of your childhood, along with The Sandlot, E.T and Toy Story, Casper is one of those films that I loved when I was younger, and still love today because of the fact it's a well written film with charm and feel good moments.

Date Night starring Steve Carrell and Tina Fey is a very funny film. The film doesn't have any annoying cast members and the jokes and gags are very funny and never tiresome. The film is a lot of fun. One thing I enjoy about Steve Carrell is his films are never dull or boring, he's always funny, and he's a good comedian. He's not like Will Ferrell who screams in anger to try to make you laugh. Carrell and Fey are terrific and they have more great comedic performances to offer in the future. This as of yet is one of the funniest comedies I've seen this year. It seems that a lot of the bad reviews point out that it's too predictable, and boring. If you feel that way before viewing this film, then I advise you to skip it. A worthy scene thats quite possibly the best of the film is Mila Kunis and James Franco, a very funny scene. This may not be the best comedy in recent memory (again I believe that honor belongs to The Hangover) But this will definitely make you laugh out loud a few times despite being a bit predictable.

While not the best comedy, MacGruber does provide good laughs. Yes, the film is disgusting, crude, vulgar and very stupid. But also this is the type of film that you need to shut off to enjoy. There could have been a few changes to the script, the whole part of the celery up the ass thing was unfunny and useless. Besides that part, the film is funny, but like I said it's very stupid. If you hate films such as Hot Rod and Strange Wilderness, or any type of comedy that has low brow humour, then pass on this film. If you like crude comedy, then this film is for you. MacGruber won't win an oscars but it'll definitely make you laugh. Just turn your brain off when you watch this film. MacGruber is an average comedy thats very funny, but is definitely not one of the best comedies of recent memory. However this is the funniest SNL film since Wayne's World. I just wished they removed the Celery up the ass, that wsan't funny, that was pretty disturbing and weird. Other than that, this is a good spoof film of 80's action films, better than both Hot Shots films. Overall, funny, but very stupid; watch with an open mind, and an empty head.

As far as I'm concerned, Big Daddy is oneof Adam Sandler's last 'watchable" films. Big Daddy was funny and entertaining with all the usually tricks you'd expect from and Adam Sandler film. Along with Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy is the only Sandler film that I can actually watch without being too irritated. Big Daddy is silly, but it's also fun. The film is mindless entertainment and it doesn't try to be anything great. The film is really laid back, but it does its job by delivering good laughs. The film is much better than Sandler's previous film, The Water Boy. I enjoyed Big Daddy and laughed quite a bit. Sandler gives a decent comedic performance as Sonny, and the rest of the cast are good too. However Rob Schneider is as usual, not funny, and he plainly sucks like every other film he's done. In every Sandler film, he always plays a character thats irrelevant and not funny. Big Daddy is an average comedy with good laughs and average acting. Theres nothing too special about this film, but its a fun time waster. Sandler will make you for over an hour, but then the film becomes predictable too quickly. But for what it is, Big Daddy is a fun film and one of the few films where Adam Sandler is funny. Recently he has lost his touch. Big Daddy however is a reminder of what he could do, bring on some silly humour thats entertaining and funny.

Ridley Scott's 1979, Alien is one of the most legendary Sci Fi horror films ever made. The film of course is famous for it's chest buster scene. The cast is strong with talents such as Sigourney Weaver and Tom Skeritt. Alien is a tension filled nightmare as the alien organism takes over the crew of the ship. Ridley Scott effectively builds tension as the film unfolds. What makes this film really memorable is the use of dark colours, and that build the scares a lot more. You never know when the Alien will strike and it's very quiet before something horrifying happens. Alien is one of the best in the genre, and is ultimately a classic film. Everything is so well done, and what you get in the end is an incredibly heart stopping roller coaster of a horror film. It's a benchmark in the genre and showcases Scott's genius very well.

This time around, James Cameron helms this film, and one asks does he make a better film than Ridley Scott which in my opinion, the first Alien is a true horror classic, can a sequel to the first be as great as the it's predecessor? Definitely Yes. Aliens is an excellent follow up to Scott's 1979 classic. This time around, this sequel features more riveting action than the first film and still feature a superb cast of actors, and this film one an academy award. Aliens terrifies yet again, and is a tension filled thrill ride. Aliens is one of the greatest horror sequels ever made in the genre, and it's mystery why. James Cameron has a strong vision of what makes sci fi so good, and throw in some horror and you've got yourself a sci fi forror masterpiece.

Alien 3, the third instalment in the series, and now it seems that the producers have run out of good ideas for a good film. The film was good right up until the religious references, after that the film went down hill. the film had elements of the first two, but with a poorly written scrip, the film falls flat and never has enough momentum to really deliver what you'd expect. Aliens 3 however is not a slow paced film and does have awesome action sequences, but unfortunately the film doesn't have the key element that makes an Alien film, it's tense, suspenseful moments. David Fincher tries his best at directing this film, but really this isn't his best work, Se7en, Fight Club and Zodiac have that title. But I can give props to Fincher for trying to create something decently entertaining. The religious overtones really are annoying and make this film boring almost. It lacks the creepy, tense atmosphere, but delivers on action, this is one of the weaker entries in the series. However its worth a peak due to David Fincher's talents.

Alien Resurrection is the fourth film in the franchise and is an improvement over Alien 3, which did not succeed because it lacked a tense, suspenseful atmosphere, relying exclusively on action, Alien 3 lacked the soul of the first two. However for this fourth entry, it contains action, tense, scary moments and gross out horror elements which makes Resurrection a winner. It's one of the better sequels, and is quite scary. The cast is a much better one with Michael Wincott alongside Sigourney Weaver. The film does recycle a few ideas, but in the end you're just glad that it's better than part 3. Alien Resurrection is a fine fourth entry, it has everything you'd expect from an Alien, and in the end, it's all that matters. A decent return to form.

Nightmare On Elm Street is a true classic in the horror genre, it's also one of the best slasher films in the 1980's. The film is terrifying, and will keep you on the edge of your seat. There are some fairly memorable scenes in the first Nightmare including the scene where Johnny Depp gets sucked into his bed and a lot of blood sprays from the hole in his bed. Nightmare is filled with such awesome, horrifying scenes that's sure to thrill you, and ultimately scare you out of your mind. The rest of the cast does a great job, and the film is solid enough to hold ones attention till it's shocking climax. The best performance of all, belongs to Robert Englund, who brings Freddy Krueger to life! A must see classic!

Freddy's revenge had a lot going for it. The concept of the film was great. It's too bad the film fell short on many levels. One of the reasons why this film is so disappointing compared to the superior first is the weak cast of characters. The film went down hill for me because of a mediocre cast. What made the first Nightmare On Elm Street so much fun and entertaining was the combination of a great young cast of actors, and terrific spine tingling moments. But with Freddy's revenge there are a few spine tingling moments to be had in this weak sequel, but unfortunately some scares fall flat and it's just not effective. However is decently entertaining, but for a follow up to Craven's masterpiece, it's a fairly weak film. It ends up just being an average film.

This is a redeeming sequel to the weaker Freddy's Revenge. What makes this film a better, more entertaining film is a strong cast, some terrific directing, great script writing and the involvement of Wes Craven. Dream Warriors is one of the best Nightmare On Elm Street sequels and has a very strong story. You end caring for some of the characters who fall victim to Freddy because the film is well written that the characters really come out on screen. Also one thing that is worth mentioning the soundtrack to this fine horror film was made by 80's metal band Dokken, so it really rounds it out to be a great film with a terrific soundtrack, great cast, great story and is one of the best sequels in the franchise. A must watch.

Although not as great as Dream Warriors, this film still has strong moments, and is a terrific film in the Nightmare series. This is one of the first films in the Nightmare On Elm Street series to include a bit of comedy. The film Also has great dream sequences, and the deja vu part really does play tricks on you, I though that at one point my DVD was messing up on me, but no, it was Freddy all along. One thing I love about the Nightmare films is that even though some of them manage to be less great, all of them as a whole manage to be entertaining, and this film is a great example of that. The Dream Master is a good sequel and is a great addition to the franchise and will sure appeal to Freddy fans everywhere.

Even though every Nightmare film has tried something new in the past, this one really doesn't offer anything much. However this film does have great moments and is still very enjoyable, but compared to Dream Warriors and The Dream Master, this is one of the weaker one, still enjoyable however. But it really doesn't anything new or creative. There's still a lot of originality present in the film with the death and dream sequences, but there's a little something lacking to make this film truly special, and memorable. Freddy seems a bit bored this time around, and so do the characters. Overall Nightmare On Elm Street: The Dream Child is a good little film to watch, but with nothing really new to add to the series.

This is the weakest film in the series, yet. Just when you thought Freddy's Revenge was the worst sequel, this one tops it. At first, I used to love it, but now, I always notice something wrong with the film. The acting sucks, the kills are are cartoonish,Freddy looks like he's made of rubber and the overall film fails to deliver on anything that was great in the previous films. The "end" of Freddy is so lame, it's silly. The film is more comedic than anything and really isn't that great to begin with. The film does have great moments, such as a cameo by Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, and Tom Arnold, not even that can redeem this film. The idea was great, but execution was poorly done, and thus Freddy's dead ends being the weakest sequel in the series.

Seventh entry in the series, and after the disappointing "final"of Freddy Krueger in Freddy's dead, this film injects new blood into a seemingly tired out franchise. In this last sequel to the Nightmare On Elm Street series, Freddy Krueger haunts actress Heather Lagenkamp. This is one solid horror film to end the series on, and it returns to what made the series such an original Franchise in the horror genre. What makes this film a true return to form is the return of director Wes Craven who directed the first one, and was involved in the production of the third. Wes Crave unleashes on the viewer a different, new refreshing take on the series and in the end results pay off in the end. New Nightmare is one of the most original sequels in the franchises history, and will definitely entertain the scares out of you.

Featuring new interviews with the cast and crew of the films as well as the fans and other horror directors influenced by Friday The 13th. His Name Was Jason is a real treat for Friday fans. His Name Was Jason offers new facts on the films and it's legacy as one of the most enduring horror franchise in the history of the genre. Hosted by Tom Savini who did the effects for Friday the 13th and Friday The 13th The Final Chapter. As a diehard fan of horror and of Friday The 13th, I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary. Fans will most likely be pleased at the content offered in this documentary. The film does offer terrific insight on the legacy and the success of the films. This is a well assembled documentary that Friday fans will relish. His Name Was Jason is a documentary for the fans, made by the fans. The interviews are well done and it's very interesting to see how the Friday The 13th films influenced filmmakers, fans and pop culture. If you're a diehard Jason fan, you owe yourself to watch this documentary. I have been a fan of the series since the age of 12 and I can honestly say that this documentary does the series justice.

After Halloween was released, every studio wanted to duplicate Carpenters classic film. Paramount scrambled to release it's own Slasher film. The result? Friday The 13th. Friday is a much more violence filled film than Halloween. It relies almost on violence to create it's horror. The film boasts a lot of genuine creepy moments, but the characters aren't likable in anyway. Still this film is a classic and you do enjoy it when the characters get knocked off one by one. In this first entry in the highly successful Friday franchise, Jason is not the killer, it's his mother, Pamela Voorhees who avenges her son that drowned in Crystal Lake back in 1957. An enjoyable film, and the first of many memorable films in this good series. One of the better horror franchises.

Superior sequel to an already superior film. Friday The 13th Part 2 delivers to jolts of horror. After Alice killed Mrs. Voorhees, Jason, Mrs Voorhees beloved son seeks revenge and murders Alice. After he avenges his loving mom, he goes back to Crystal Lake and starts hacking his way through a new group of counselors training near by at a new training camp near by. The film is one of my favorites in the franchise and I personally think it's one of the best in the series. Steve Miner helms this film with flair, and he's a very talented Horror director. He knows how to thrill an audience, this film more than lives up to the original. I think that this film is almost flawless in the way everything was put together. It's a truly unique and creepy film to watch.

As the third instalment unfolds, Jason Voorhees finally finds his identity and adorns the now famous hockey mask. Jason was left for dead at the end of the second film. He murders a couple who owns a store and gets new cloths. He then hides in a barn on a property where teens are staying for the summer. This film has everything that makes a Friday film so special. Whats most memorable is of course, Jason acquiring the now famous mask. The film is helmed again by Steve Miner who directed the second film. Much of the third film relies on effective creepy moments to built tension. Of all the films in the franchise, I think that this is the one provides the moist suspense (as far as the sequels are concerned) Yet another good film, if you love Jason, you'll love this film

Like all horror Icons, there's always one particular character that the killer will take revenge above all else. this time however, Jason sets his eye on Tommy Jarvis . After being killed in the third instalment, he's seemingly lifeless body is sent to the local morgue, where he awakens and kills two employees and returns to the lake. His new intended targets are the Jarvis's and bunch of kids that moved in next door for the summer. For me, The Final Chapter is one of the Friday films with some of the best kills. The film possesses key ingredients that is required for a Friday The 13th film to work effectively well. Dim witted oversexed teens, a dark and creepy atmosphere, an unsung hero that kills Jason. The hero of this film is Tommy Jarvis, played rather annoyingly by Corey Feldman. I couldn't stand the kid, it seemed that he suffered of ADHD or some other condition. Either way, he was frustrating. Back to the film itself, The Final Chapter as the following sequels is obviously not the final film in the series. The movie is quite enjoyable, and is fun to watch, like every other Friday film out there for that matter. With this film, Jason began the tradition of trying to seek revenge on Tommy. Still a strong film in the series.

Well, well looks like we have our first weak film of the Friday The 13th series. I'm not saying that it's bad. But it's not a strong effort, it's only average. The reason you ask? well for one, Jason is not the killer. The second reason, is that the characters are poorly written even by Friday standards. After the events of the fourth film, Tommy Jarvis is sent to a halfway house occupied by mentally challenged teens. Anyways an accident happens, one of residents goes nuts on a poor kid, named joey, he gives him the axe literally! Roy who's an ambulance driver, discovers that his pride and joy has been murdered (in a truly Oscar winning scene from the film) He vows to take revenge, he adorns the Hockey mask, and takes on the identity of Jason Voorhees. I found for the most part that the film had really cool kills on screen, too bad the characters where poorly performed, the best character was the black kid he cracked me up, he said that he scared of nothing, and the minute he sees 'Jason', he screams like a girl and starts running. This is quite a funny film to watch as well. It's almost slapstick in some parts, but it's fun nonetheless. A film not for everyone, if you want the real Jason skip to Part 6.

After Part 2 and Part 3 in the series, Part 6: Jason Lives is quite possibly The best Friday sequel there is. It's certainly one of my personal favorites and is a terrific new twist to an already legendary franchise. The film combines elements of old Friday The 13th films with elements of mid 80's fashion and music. The soundtrack was written by Alice Cooper. Heavy Metal and Horror films= one awesome film. After Tommy Jarvis murdered the false Jason in part 5, Tommy goes and exhumes and tries to destroy Jason's body. Unfortunately, after impaling the corpse with a metal spike, lightning strikes it and awakens Jason, and a whole new era of killing begins! I really enjoyed this sequel because it blended comedic elements with horror elements and of course a rocking soundtrack. This film will appease any Friday fan and of the sequels that came out after part 5, Jason Lives is definitely the best one. Sit back, and enjoy as Jason picks up where he left off in the Final Chapter. The kills are entertaining and the film is filled with blood soaked amusement. Enjoy!

In this seventh Friday installment, the screenwriters basically copied the Carrie White approach to the story. A girl name Tina Sheppard has telekinetic powers awakens Jason and begins yet another series of grisly murders. Of all the Friday films, this one of the weaker ones, but is still enjoyable due to its sometimes slapstick death scenes. The film also suffered from amateurish acting, even by Friday standards, not since part 5 has a film suffered this way. As the Friday The 13th film series progressed, it seemed that the screenwriters where scrambling to find new and "improved" ways to unleash Jason unto oversexed teens. The result? The New Blood, a supernatural entry in the series that relies more on special effects than anything, also like I said previously, the kills are Slapstick at best equaled only by Amateurish actors who seem to struggle to hard. Still for all it's faults, I still enjoyed this film, but if you're looking for a good Friday film to watch, leave this one for last.

This ain't no love boat, and Jason is on board with one thing on his mind. The last Paramount release of the Friday The 13th franchise is actually an overlooked enjoyable film. People have strongly criticized this film because of the title, the length and other issues not worth mentioning. Jason is a stowaway aboard a student boat charter as they set sail for New York City. The big question is will it get there??? umm, well a few will thats for sure. This by far the most laid back of all the Friday films,it pretty much builds up on the comedic effect that was showcased in Jason Lives! Except now, almost everything is done for comedic effect. I love this entry in this series because of that fact, it's a film return to key Friday The 13th elements and yet is the one that seems to take itself not seriously whatsoever. In my Book, this film would have been a better end to the series.

Finally after many years, Freddy Vs Jason was released to Friday and Nightmare fans alike. Most were disappointed in this film. I however thought it was a great ride and one of the best films since the original Friday's and first Nightmare films. The cast though amateurs and therefore not excellent, where decent at best. What really did the film for me was the sheer amount of gore and violence, simply awesome. As far as a film of this magnitude is concerned, this is a winner. Loved it and after the somewhat dreadful Jason X, I found this film to be quite a breath of fresh. Some may disagree with my review, but if you look at it from my perspective, how did you want this film to really turn out? people cite some moronic reasons to not like this film, anyways instead of pointing all it's flaws, I'll be happy with this effort, I personally think no one could create something better than this. My only complaint is that Kane Hodder wasn't Jason. A great ride!

Se7en is a terrific Crime Horror/Thriller. David Fincher cooks up a sensational, stylish film in the style of Silence Of The Lambs. You could almost say that this is the son of Silence Of The Lambs. The story is very well paced and Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt are terrific and add to the already strong story with their strong performances. Se7en a thrill a minute Horror Crime Thriller as the film blends these three elements into one film. The film is intense, and creepy at times, and definitely makes you feel uneasy. Freeman and Pitt play two cops hunting down a sadistic and intellectual serial killer using the seven deadly sins as his M.O for killing. Se7en is a well acted, directed film and it keeps you guessing until the dramatic climax. The best Horror Crime film since Silence Of The Lambs, Se7en is a new breed of thriller. If only there would be more films like this that blend, Thrills, suspense and Horror so well. Fincher has crafted a masterpiece of cinema a film that will definitely not be easy to forget. Relentlessly told on screen, Se7en is the best film of its kind.

The Final Destination trilogy of films are the ultimate guilty pleasure in the Horror genre. I don't know why, but I don't hate the series, I find them quite decent, and comical at times. However this first entry in the trilogy is the best, and semingly most serious of the three that I've seen. The film surrounds a high school (Devon Sawa) who has a vision of the plane he's on to go to paris on a fiekl trip explode in midair shortly after take off. As the plane explode, it's not long thereafter that the seven survivors die one by one in the order that they were seated on the plane. Obviously Final Destination is yet another teen horror film, but it's actually one of the better ones to come out. I found this film to be pretty good considering. The acting is not great, I mean it's Devon Sawa, not exactly a class actor. What I love the most about the first one is the story, it's a pretty original concept and the Idea is, but because of the acting, it falls flat and doesn't quite soar. Even if this film doesn't quite soar due to the acting, it still does manage a few good entertaining moments. Of all the Final Destination films that I've seen, this has suspense, thrills and horrifying moments and what it does that the sequels don't do is try to make the viewer uncomfortable. Which is something thats well done in this first entry. However this is not a perfect horror film, and will probably won't stand the test of time, but for what it is, it's pretty entertaining. Final Destination is the best one of the trilogy and despite it's flawed story, it is pretty original, and is one of the best teen horror films to come out in the teen horror era. However like most of the teen horror films like Scream, Urban Legend and I know what you did last summer this film will most likely be forgotten in the next ten years to come. A true definition of a guilty pleasure.

This film is a lot more gory than the first one, and it really emphasizes more on tongue in cheek style comedy. You are found laughing at part where you're supposed to be scared, and holding onto your seat. The outcome of everyone's demise is pretty predictable, a lesser film than the first, but watchable for an unintentional laugh. Final Destination 2 features some of the worst acting ever put to film, and the decisions the characters make seem very stupid, every character getting knocked off seems to make stupid decisions. While the first Final Destination film was very intriguing and had a very interesting concept for a storyline, this one basically tries to redo the first film, but injecting the script with unintentional laughs. Like I've said, at part where you're supposed to scared, you laugh. I view this film as a comedy horror film, and nothing more. Unfortunately, the third entry follows the same path and becomes like the second film a barely decent "horror" film. The film suffers from being predictable to having a bad cast and bad script. The only thing going for it is the elaborate death sequences, and even that is not enough to redeem this borderline watchable horror film. The way to see the sequels to the first Final Destination film is a guilty pleasure, because thats what they are. They manage to entertain, but it's obvious that the filmmakers are starting to run out of ideas when the sequels start to being more funny than scary.David R. Ellis helms this second entry and try to do something good on screen, but the end results are mixed and the film like I've said a so-so blend horror and comedy. If you decide to watch this second entry, you might be disappointed because you'll find it very predictable, and more slapstick comedy oriented. However it's pretty entertaining despite all it's faults because the characters seem to intentionally put themselves into harms way, and it's very thrilling, and enjoyable to watch idiocy happen on screen.

The idea for this film was far better than the second one,this time instead of a plane and a highway for the scene of the fatal accidents, the accident happens at an amusement park on a Roller Coaster. After the first two films, you get the idea of this series, people die in a specific order, and so on. The film is of course predictable, and the actors themselves are not good, but the idea of the rollercoaster was a damn good one. As far this series is concerned, the first is the best one, the second one is the second best, and this one has lost it's puff, and the film ends up being boring. Not a very developed story or anything. The filmmakers could have done something so great with the concept of the accident, that like I said, was pretty cool. But unfortunately the overall film feels a tad too boring and like I've said, the filmmakers seem to be scratching the bottom of the barrel with ideas for this film. Final Destination 3 like the second entry to the series, almost plays out like a comedy horror film. The film is so predictable, and the dialogue is so bad in this entry, plus the actions of the characters who actually don't use any common sense to get out of danger is very laughable. Final Destination 3 like the first two in the series, doesn't try to do anything that great in the Horror genre. I thought that the first one was the best in the series and the two sequels that followed were borderline good. In this third entry they try to do something original, but we know whats will happen, and thats the biggest problem this film. All the good ideas have been explored and the only reason they keep making these films is because they want to make money. Well at least the first entry worked well enough to provide a few interesting jolts and
scares. But for what it is, The Final Destination series is are a bunch of rediculous teen horror films that are guilty pleasures.

Silent Hill is a terrific film. When done correctly, a video game can be adapted to the big screen. Silent Hill proved that. Christoph Gans, who directed the film is a die-hard Silent Hill fan. So it was necessary for him to make it as convincing as possible. He succeeded. This is a great film with minor flaws, but the idea and execution of story makes you forget the mistakes. The film boasts some amazing special effects and has a few creepy moments. I strongly believe that this is the best Video game adaptations. Uwe Boll take notes, this is how you successfully adapt a video game into a film. As far as a horror film goes, Silent Hill is sure to satisfy fans of the genre. You may be disappointed, but for what it's worth, Silent Hill is an achievement in itself, it belongs on the short list of good video game adaptations.

.One the first films to appeal to the teenage of the 90's, Scream iis a decent flick to watch when you have nothing else to do. Scream is more of an homage to classic horror film such as Halloween and Friday The 13th. Scream sparked something big in the late 90's, it rejuvinated the interest in Horror films, and brought back the dying genre to the masses. A decent cast of characters accommodates the film, but they seemed underdeveloped and not likeable, when they get hacked to death you feel no remorse, you end up rooting for the killers.

A more tongue in Cheek Horror film than the first one, Scream 2 follows the events of the first film. This sequel is dull an uninspired and really, how far can you go to pay tribute to classics?? I mean Scream is really just a big homage to old school horror done for a teen audience, because it's hip to like horror now. Scream 2 follows very closely the formula of the first one, yet is somewhat of a bore and falls flat. Half decent, but it's one point short of getting a passing grade.

Scream 3 is more of the same as the first two, more violence, screams more everything. This film is slightly better than the second, and in my opinion its a good way to end a tired series, but I heard they were making a fourth entry in this series. Anyhow, the film is a bit of an improvement from the second and really you could say that it does inject new blood in the series, however, it's too little, too late.

1408 is a film that is based on a Stephen King short story, and is one creepy, thrilling horror film to watch. It's a very intriguing story that sucks you in, and twists your mind, as any Stephen King adaptation would. John Cusack (whom I'm not a fan of) delivers a good performance and so does Samuel L. Jackson. The film slowly builds the tension and when the scares start to happen, you feel uneasy and you begin to feel tense. 1408 is a well crafted Horror film that delivers on the scares and will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat. The room itself is evil and in the end, Cusack's character comes out on top, and the film ends in an awesome final, the ending was scary and ended this creative, and scary Horror film.

Phantoms based on the novel by dean Koontz is a surprisingly scary ride, and is a non stop thrills, jolts and good scares. Phantoms is an awesome horror film, and it is very tense and thrilling. Before watching this film I had low expectations\, but luckily my expectations were exceeded. Phantoms is a roller coaster ride of horror that doesn't rely on Teen Horror cliches to create Horror. Dean Koontz does a terrific job adapting his story to the big screen. Director Joe Chappelle directs Koontz's story. Phantoms starts off with a taste of old fashioned horror films, and ultimately sets the tone for the entire film. The second half is just as impressive as the first half. Phantoms is a terrific example of to make a good monster horror film. Phantoms features a creature with many tentacles who fed on the population of a small town. Phantoms is guaranteed to give you a few good scares, and the film is much better than what people have said about it. Ben Affleck does give a decent enough performance, compared to his other dreadful performances in Armageddon, Pearl Harbor and Daredevil. He isn't bad here, but he's not great either. Peter O'toole gives the best performance here and manages to give this film better credibility. Because after all, O'toole is a legendary actor. Both Koontz and director Joe Chappelle manage to create a terrific horror film and the end result is very impressive. There's plenty of dismembered bodies and tense and suspenseful horror moments to keep you tense throughout the film. Phantoms is an underrated film, and you should at lease give it a look and decide for yourself.

Looking back over ten years after it's initial release, The Blair Witch Project is an impressive, yet flawed documentary style Horror film. Filmed as "found" footage, Blair Witch is a chilling film. However there are many films of in this genre that are far superior to this film. One example comes to mind, Cannibal Holocaust. Cannibal Holocaust was more raw, intense and chilling than this. Many people have claimed that this film ripped off Cannibal Holocaust, I can see similarities, example the found footage angle. But thats where it ends. The Blair Witch Project is not a perfect film, but you have to admit that they were able to craft something like this with a 16 mm Camera and turn out a profit, and making it one of the most "chilling", "scary" "found footage" films ever as what everyone in the movie critics circle has been saying about this film. I don't think it's scary, but I do believe its chilling. The Blair Witch Project is the type of film thats been sorta killed by the hype. Every mainstream critic that called it the scariest film since The Exorcist doesn't know what they're talking about. I mentioned it was the scariest of it kind, but I stress the fact that it's what mainstream critics say of this film. Blair Witch is chilling and tense, but never feels truly scary. There are far better films of this genre that are much more scary, disturbing and twisted than this. I enjoyed the film, I thought it was a very creative effort, but honestly I don't see why the film has gotten so much praise than it deserves is beyond me. If you want the best found footage film, hunt down a copy of the unrated, uncut version Cannibal Holocaust. But if you're new to the genre, then give this one a look. A good film, but nothing phenomenal.

A brilliant Canadian Sci Fi Horror film, Cube is one original film, full of terror, thrills and suspense. The cast is of course comprised of unknowns, but really thats what makes this film even better. The film is a thrilling ride from start to finish and the tension build steadily to the wicked climax. Great acting, and directing are apparent in this film, and what really makes Cube soar above all other Horror films of this era (1997 was the big boom in teen horror) is the absence of terrible horror cliches found in films of this era. It's a totally original film that returns to good old fashioned thrills and suspense to create High tension and horror. Brilliant. Unfortunately the sequels weren't as excellent or elaborate as this first entry, but at least they managed to create something brilliant with this film. This could almost be seen as an inspiration to Saw. Whats very interesting is that there is no logical answer to why they're in the Cube; the why is never given and the people who created the cube is never explained. The only thing that are hinted is just wild guesses (the government is behind the cube, etc) The way the survivors of the many traps within the Cube try to ultimately figure out how to escape the Cube. Cube is a simple yet effective story. Many people view this as a thinking man's horror film and as a film it leaves a lot of unanswered questions. Which may end up being frustrating to some. However this is one awesome and unique horror film. Cube is a solid, gripping horror film with plenty of creative elements to keep asking questions long after you've seen it.

Wolf Creek is a solid film that truly delivers on the horror. John Jarratt is a terrific villain in this film as he plays the deranged murderer who captures the backpackers. Simply just insane. Wolf Creek is original, and truly terrifying, it's almost like The Blair Witch Project, because it looks almost like a documentary style film. But it's all real. And what makes this film scarier is the fact that it's based on factual events. Australia has turned out a lot of terrific horror films, and Wolf Creek is a prime example of one of them. Greg Mclean is a terrific horror director and he knows how to pace the film with the right amount of tension to build up the terrifying end. A work of raw, unrelenting power, Wolf Creek is an uncompromising film that truly delivers effective scares.

Rogue has got to be the best killer croc film ever made. Aussie film maker Greg McLean helms this film, and considering he made a superb horror film with Wolf Creek, this is a terrific follow up. As with Lake Placid, Rogue is the story of a killer croc. But unlike that film, Rogue is a serious horror film with maybe two comical moments. The cast here do a terrific job. The story follows an American journalist who is sent in Australian outback to do a story. He takes a river boat tour and all seems to go well, but then the tour group spot something that looks like a person in distress. They go to help, and they come face to face with a man eating crocodile. Roguie is a tense, suspense filled horror film that delivers terrific scares and the films pacing is terrific. Rogue is a superbly crafted killer croc film and every aspect of the film works well due to the fact that this is a well scripted film. Though somewhat similar to Jaws, Rogue still manages to be different enough and is actually the best film of a killer creature since Jaws. The film has plenty of jolts and tense moments and director Greg McLean is a fine horror director.
If you like these types of films, then give Rogue a viewing. A good mixed with a good story equals a film that belongs alongside Jaws as one of the best killer creature films. Definitely an improvement over Lake Placid, Rogue takes out the comedy and is a straight forward Horror flick with loads of tension. The end result is very impressive.

Inside is a refreshing tale of demented horror that breaks new ground in the genre. Inside is a film that will shatter your senses and disturb even the most harden veteran of extreme horror. Looking back on the genre, only a few films have pushed the boundaries of good taste. One example is prominent with the classic Italian film Cannibal Holocaust. Although nowhere near the caliber of Cannibal Holocaust, Inside deserves a place in the same category as Cannibal Holocaust. The film pushes boundaries, and it's not a bad thing; far from it. That's the great thing with horror. The ability to push the boundaries and see how far a film will go to terrify its audience. Inside is the most provocative film since Maniac and Cannibal Holocaust which were both released in 1980. The French are slowly becoming masters of horrors themselves, by creating some downright, creepy and terrifying films. One of the most recent, and most disturbing is Inside (A L'interieur) A bloody, gory horror film that will terrify anyone who watches it. Not a film for the squeamish and faint of heart, Inside is a decent into madness. It's an unforgettable film experience that will stay with you for a long time. Before watching this film, ask yourself if you have the stomach to watch this, and if you, watch it at your own risk. Inside is truly one of the most deranged, depraved and disturbing films in recent memory. The film will definitely appeal to gore hounds. The film is a must see for horror fans who enjoy extreme horror films. The violence is unrelenting and this is a film that will definitely stay seared in your memory long after you've seen it. A brilliantly savage film that has some powerful performances, Inside is an accomplished film that will definitely disturb you.

I got this film once for Christmas. The idea of killer sheep appealed to me, and I knew I had to see it. This film is a lot ofd fun to watch. It's terrific. It's one of the best Horror comedies, and everything about this film is superb. If you love silly films with unrealistic themes, then this film is for you. No matter what genre of film you like. Give this one a look, you might end up laughing.

The third part of Dario Argento's three mothers trilogy is really a so-so film of horror. With Mother Of Tears, he seemed to just be bored with the script, and not give this project the attention it deserved. Inferno was decent enough, but with Mother Of Tears, I felt that Dario Argento could have done a lot better than this. The film almost relies more on gore and violence than atmosphere and tension and thats what made Dario Argento's works so thrilling was his use of tension, closeup shots, violence, a dark creepy atmosphere like in masterworks such as Deep Red, Suspiria and Tenebre. With Mother Of Tears however, only the violence remains, hints of atmosphere are indeed present but Argento's lack of previous style that made his earliest works soar, make this one a dud. What exists now only is a shadow of what was great. Argento seemed really bored with the 3 mothers saga at this point and it shows on screen. His signature style, like I've mentioned, is almost absent. It's a real shame, but I guess even the greatest of all Horror directors make bad films.

With Feast II: Sloppy Seconds, director John Gulager amped up his first effort with more blood and gore. The film is packed with disgusting elements that will most likely satisfy the diehard goref ans. Feast II is so off the wall that it cannot be taken seriously. Feast II can really be seen as a guilty pleasure. The over the top violence and gore will definitely not appeal to people who their horror at a minimalistic level. But for fans of say, Lucio Fulci who are used to having blood and guts in their films, then this film is for you. Sure Feast II is mediocre compared to the works of Fulci, but in a way it echoes Fulci because the film is downright disgusting. I understand why this film has been dismissed, and I agree with those who hate it. The way I see it, is Feast II is for a certain type of Horror fan, and like it's predecessor, this second offering is a film that delivers on the gore, and gross out horror. As far the story is concerned, there isn't much to consider in that department. The plot is almost none existent and surround a group of survivors from the night before surviving yet another monster attack. The attack is B movie quality, but the gore is cool, if you have the stomach for it. The way that I look at the Feast trilogy is that they're films designed to be silly and grotesque. Sure there isn't truly any real cinematic value to be had in these films, but this series does manage to entertain. Not perfect, but decent enough to have a good time. They're are a lot worst films than this, if you want truly bad, give Wes Craven's My Soul To Take a viewing. Now thats bad!

Diary Of The Dead is George A. Romero's latest Zombie nightmare. Much like Land Of The Dead, Romero tried something different. This time, he tried to do a documentary style zombie film. The camera work is similar to Cloverfield and The Blair Witch Project. I don't understand why this film got so many bad reviews. In a time where the Horror genre lacks originality, at least a few directors manage to turn out some good, original films. George Romero is one of them. Diary Of The Dead is a very good zombie film, filmed docu style and puts you at the centre of the action. Diary Of The Dead has plenty of thrilling moments and it has everything you'd expect from a Romero film, hell any good horror film for that matter. Enjoy!

In The Horror genre, theres been a few good zombie comedies. Return Of The Living Dead and Army Of Darkness are probably the most famous titles to grave the genre. Shaun Of The Dead is by the best Zombie Comedy since. What makes the film so good is Simon Pegg and Nick Frosts antics on screen. Especially Nick Frost as Ed. he is just hilarious. Shaun of The Dead can easily be seen as the best Zombie Comedy since Army Of Darkness and Return Of The Living Dead because the humour and horror elements are blended together very well to create a unique film with plenty of laugh yet enough horror elements to please the regular comedy viewer and the diehard zombie fan. The script is very well crafted and the film is clever, witty, and over the top funny. Watching this film is a blast and will guarantee a great time. Shaun and Ed are the main characters, and they try to survive in a local pub during an apocalyptic zombie outbreak. This film is a treasure and the cast does a phenomenal job with a terrific script and story. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are always a pleasure to watch on screen, and Shaun Of The Dead proves it. Shaun Of The Dead is a real treat to watch with family and friends, and is a good film to watch during the Halloween season. Many laughs and scares will abound in this latest zombie comedy genre, and therefore is another addition to the very short list of the best zombie comedies ever made. The film should appeal to every horror fan, as this has all the elements of a good horror film and elements of a good comedy film. Edgar Wright has done a marvelous job at crafting something great here, and Shaun Of The Dead remains one of three most memorable British Horror films. Definitely one of the best horror films in the last ten years. Sam Raimi and Dan O'Bannon would be proud. Considering that this film has George A. Romero's stamp of approval, it should be enough for you to give this a look if you still haven't. Enjoy!

The Others is one amazing film to watch. The cast is terrific. The film is tense, creepy, and has a certain melancholic vibe to it, that makes it more frightening. The Others is a terrific horror film, and is definitely one of the best horror films of the decade. Unlike most films released nowadays, The Others uses classic horror elements found in old school horror films to create effective horror. The film is void of any violence or gore, replaced is the heavy use of suspense to billed horror and it succeeds on many levels. The absence of gore and violence is what truly makes The Others a terrific horror film, and it proves that you don't need gore or violence to create effective scares and is definitely one of the best, most thrilling and scariest films in recent memory. The cast and crew do a fabulous job and conveying this terrifying story, and the end result is a horrifying film of epic proportions. Not since the days of Alfred Hitchcock has a film used terrific suspense to create beautiful horror.

With the slasher boom exploding in the early 80's after John Carpenter's Halloween became a success in 1978 upon its release, every studio got the craze to rip it off and create their own slasher films. But the slasher films of the 80's had something that Halloween lacked, excessive violence (I'm not complaining, I'm just stating the obvious).Prom Night is one of the first slashers to rip off Halloween to cash in on it's success. Staring Jamie Lee Curtis, this Slasher film from Canada is a pretty good entry in the genre, more credit should be given to this film as its not as bad as people claim it to be. Sure theres room enough for improvement, but this is still a pretty entertaining horror film. However with the strong succession of slasher films that followed like Friday The 13th, Nightmare On Elm Street, My Bloody Valentine and Terror Train; it's easy to forget Prom Night. If you put this film alongside the most solid slasher films that I've just mentioned, Prom Night may seem kind of weak. At times it does feel that way, but its far from the worst. I loved the film along with it's sequel, Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II. But I hated the last two entries of the franchise. This film follows the usual slasher film formula, a killer stalks and kills teens responsible for the deaths of a girl. But setting of the kills is not a nightmare or a campground or a mine. It's a high school prom. The film is enjoyable but flawed. Prom Night is still a fun film to pull out from time to time to rewatch, but it's one of the weaker slasher films of the 80's. Like I've said, the best Prom Night film is the second one. But this film is still worth watching to kill an hour and a half and enjoy something nostalgic from early 80's slashers.

If you're looking for the best Prom Night film, Hello Mary Lou is the one. As far as I'm concerned, the whole Prom Night franchise should've focused on the Mary Lou aspect. But it didn't, instead each film are different than the rest, and more often than not, don't succeed. Well Prom Night and this sequel are the best hands down.I thought this film was very effective in delivering the chills, and personally, it's my favorite in the series. The cast, I thought was awesome, especially Michael Ironside (a great talent). This delivered and honestly, I don't know why the filmmakers wouldn't focus on Mary Lou haunting the senior Prom for the rest of the series, I would've loved to see something like that. But this film is the most memorable of the series, this is the best of the Prom Night and the first one is second place.A must, you'll have a great time watching this one. Hello Mary Lou is a very cool horror film and I have to say, I think it's one of the best horror sequels. This story could have been explored further in other sequels, the third one does, but it fails to capture the chills and suspense of this film. This film put all the other films in the series. A fine horror film and definitely the best in the series. Hello Mary Lou emphasizes more on the scares and suspense this time around, and thus it succeeds in creating something that the first one lacked. The supernatural elements seem to work better than a straight forward slasher flick. Those who loved the first one will probably most likely love this entry as well. A fine, chilling horror film that will entertain the hell out of you. I also taught the ending was brilliant, Sorry won't say anything don't want to spoil it for ya!

Prom Night III: The Last Kiss is a poorly made horror film that combines all the usual cliches with a bad horror comedy overtone. This third entry suffers from a bad script and bad acting with nothing really new to offer the genre. This entry doesn't try to do anything new or exciting and the film suffers from a poorly conceived horror comedy formula that ultimately doesn't work. Prom Night II: Hello Mary Lou was the best in this series and it shocking how they couldn't build anything on the Mary Lou story a bit further. The filmmakers took a different approach and the film is a failure. The Last Kiss is packed with horror cliches and stereotypes. The story seems incomplete and the actors seem out of place. This is too bad because the first two entries were solid films. After finishing this fiolm you'll realize that your time could have been wasted better as this film is quite stupid and boring to be honest. there is nothing good about the film, nothing remotely appealing to fans of the first and second film. For me the real Prom Night film are the first two films, the first was good and the sequel was even better, but then we get to The Last Kiss and what we have is purely and simply a film that absolute garbage. If you want good advice skip this one and the fourth film and stick with the first two, much better films, and are definitely more entertaining. This film is just sad in its failure.

You know that by the time a franchise reaches the fourth sequel, usually the producers scrap the bottom of the barrel. In the case of Prom Night IV Deliver Us From Evil, this is exactly the case. This is a film that does not succeed in any shape or form whatsoever. The Prom Night series have only two good films in the series, the first two. But the third and fourth entry are absolute garbage. I found the film to be painful to watch in every respect and quite frankly almost a chore. I needed to watch this film so I could review the fourth entry and let people know how shitty it really is. This is the worst of the Prom Night films. The film lacks everything that has made the first two worth watching. This final entry in the Prom Night franchise is a drastic departure from it's predecessors. Like every film in this series, none of them have a specific killer, for example Friday The 13th has Jason, Halloween Michael Myers. This fourth film is a mess with a bad script, bad acting, and poor buildup. If you've seen the first three, then skip this film, it has nothing in common with the original film or its second film, plus the third film was a comedy horror film which was also poorly executed. The film suffers from cliches and predictability, and the element of surprise that makes a good horror film are absent. There could have been something watchable on screen, but unfortunately I consider this a missed opportunity and I view this film as one of the worst horror films ever made.

Snakes On A Plane is a super cheesy, b movie that garnered online attention even before it's release due to the films name. I left the theater with a smile on my face, the film was so bad it was good, scratch that it was awesome. Snakes On A Plane is a Horror film, Action film, Thriller film all rolled in to one. It's a good film to watch and view something that is harmless and fun at the same time, this is a good example of a good B movie, not since Mars Attacks! has no director pulled something so good out a simple idea. Thought not flawless, SOAP is still great fun, and is one of those rare films thats actually original in an age where Hollywood studios remake horror classics. Snakes On A Plane delivers what you'd expect from a horror B movie, a must watch.

The Mist has got to be the best Stephen King adaptation in a long time. Directed By Frank Darabont, a man who is able to bring a King story to screen with an almost flawless direction directs this jaw dropping horror film. Darabont previous adaptations of King's works are simply brilliant, The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile speak for themselves. I have read The Mist by Stephen King before seeing this film. The story was republished as a novella and I decided to read it. I found the novella was very well adapted to the screen, except for the ending, which was of course changed for dramatic effect, everything was superbly adapted from King's story. Darabont always keep the essential essence of a Stephen King story, and it's the main reason why he is able to successfully interpret Stephen King to the screen, the understanding and respect for the material ,makes him really the only man to able to direct a near flawless King story. Sure there are others who have succeeded in creating memorable andf great adaptations, but Frank Darabont is the best. The Mist tells the story of a military experiment gone wrong and then it opens a new dimension where creatures come out of a mist. Survivors gather in a grocery store and try to survive.This film is filled with terrific horrifying elements, great acting, considering that Thomas Jane is in this, he delivers a good performance. The Strength of the film as I've said relies on Darabont's faithfulness to the source material. Overall this is a strong Horror, one of the best in recent memory. On a side note check out the director's cut of the film, it is in in glorious Black & White, and I feel it adds a more terrifying quality to the tone of the picture. Not to mention it echoes the classic monster films of the 1950's. A terrific addition to the horror genre. Horror fans should be pleased, I definitely was.

Planet terror is a terrific film with a dark, gritty look. The film looks unsettling, and it looks cheap, which adds a certain creative element to the film. The film is action packed, it's comical, it's bloody and gory and it's one great zombie film to watch. It's one of the most creative zombie films I've seen in a long time, and is possibly one of the most original ones since 28 Days Later. Planet Terror has a solid cast and is action packed with awesome horror elements thrown in to make this a thrilling, horrifying action packed ride.

Death Proof is an awesome film in the style of Steven Spielberg's Duel and the most recent Joy Ride. The story surrounds a stunt driver named Stunt man Mike and he's bent on killing young women with his Death Proofed stunt car. Death Proof, much like Planet Terror has a damaged, cheep feel to it, just to add to the films "Grindhouse" look. Tarantino offers something different from his Pulp Fiction days as he cooks up this action packed horror film with a road rage attitude. With awesome car chases, Kurt Russell acting like a psychopath and lots of gore, Death Proof is an awesome ride.

The Strangers is a terrific piece of Horror Cinema. The film has gotten unfair reviews by mainstream critics. The Strangers is a film that relies on suspense and tension to steadily build it's horror. The Strangers doesn't have any cheap scares, only old school style suspense. Sure the film is flawed, but the filmmakers manage to craft a film that has more high than lows. The acting by Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman is terrific, and you really feel that they're in a dangerous, creepy situation. Their performance make you believe than you're in there with them, and that theres is no way out. I view The Strangers as a better film than most recent horror offerings as the story is quite interesting. The way that director Bryan Bertino builds the tension is truly something that hasn't been seen in a horror for a very long time. Sure we have terrific horror films, but most of them are from the U.K and France. This is one of the first films that doesn't try to fool the viewer by cheapening their viewing experience by having a jump scare. They're might be one or two in the film, but like I've said before, this film relies heavily on building the suspense. Take it anyway you want, in the end, this is a film that you either love or hate. I loved it because elements of old horror and tries successfully at being a different horror film. Considering the remake factor of recent times, The Strangers is fairly good viewing. Speaking of which, they're are similar films to The Strangers, such as Them and Funny Games, but this is an entirely original film, The Strangers is not a remake. With that in mind, you should give this film a shot, The Strangers does have plenty of horrifying scares and good old suspense to satisfy the hardened horror fan. My Favorite Horror film since 28 Days Later and The Devil's Rejects.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a landmark picture, along with Hitchock's Psycho, Bob Clark's Black Christmas and ultimately John Carpenter's Halloween, the film gave birth to the slasher genre. Tobe Hooper's deranged masterpiece is a well crafted work and the film is a phenomenal achievement in Horror history. What Iadmire the most TCM is the film feels almost a documentary and the interior of the Sawyer house is dark and lifeless with an intent of evil, almost like hell itself, Marilyn Burns' character encounters Leatherface in this hellish atmospheric hell, and Sawyer clan terrifies her. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the best Horror films of the early in 1970's along with The Exorcist. Spend an unforgettable night with Leatherface and the rest of the Sawyer clan, and you will never forget this nerve racking film. A must watch.

Although not as great as the first film, TCM 2 is still an enjoyable film to watch. The film has a more comedic laid back feel to it than the first TCM. The film is still very entertaining to watch, and we are introduced to Chop Top, Leatherface's psychotic brother, who he is marvellously brought to life by Bill Mosely, a phenomenal actor in the horror genre. Dennis Hopper and Caroline Williams are terrific as well, but Hopper's performance in this film is really tongue in cheek almost, I didn't take him to too seriously, and sometimes not at all. Overall The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is a solid sequel, but it doesn't quite live up to the original because of the tongue in cheek horror comedy. I didn't take this film seriously, but I however enjoyed it.

American remake of the Japanese horror film Ringu is an above average take on the usual American remake that we usually see. Directed by Gore Verbinski, director of Pirates Of The Caribbean, The Ring is one scary film that has gotten a lot of flack from die hard horror fans. Well, I'm a diehard Horror fan, and the filmmakers managed to make a pretty good remake of the Japanese. You will not find a better adaptation of a Japanese horror film than Verbinski's The Ring. Of course nothing beats the original, but this is still a pretty good remake nonetheless. The Ring is a fine film that has good enough scares to keep you glued to your seat. The scares don't feel cheap, and they don't try to overwhelm the viewer. The film's pacing is essential in establishing the scares. The cast do a very good job here, and the scares are top notch. Some scenes in the film are truly nerve racking and tense. The Ring is one of the better American remakes for sure. Some horror fans hate it, and I don't understand why cause this is a solid horror film. The Ring ends up not only being a good horror film, but a remake that works very well in establishing good scares and keeping the essence of the original intact. Both films are great. The Ring is quite possibly the best remake since The Fly. A good cast with good directing and a solid tone and atmosphere makes this a film that horror fans should check out and not erasily dismiss because it is a remake. Yes, it is a remake, but it's a fine one at that.

Tim Burton delivers a new take on Washington Irving's classic tale of the headless horseman. The film is dark, creepy and very atmospheric. One quality that I appreciate of this film is the Gothic overtones used to create tension and horror. The landscape is dead, dark and filled with fog. The village of Sleepy Hollow seems dead without any signs of life. Tim Burton's directing flair is at a peek of artistic brilliance with Sleepy Hollow. He pulled out every trick in his bag and created a very good Horror film. As usual her partners with Johnny Depp which gives a terrific performance as Ichabod Crane, the eccentric Detective sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the Horseman Murders. A solidly constructed horror film, and it is definitely one of Tim Burton's best films.

Pet Sematary is a very good horror film and believe it or not somebody can make a good horror film out of a Stephen King novel. Mary Lambert does a great job with this film and manages to bring across King's creepy story pretty well. Most people may avoid this, but they should check it out. This film is surprisingly good, and is definitely one of the better King adaptations. Above all, this is one of the scariest of all of King's creations, and those who loved the book will definitely enjoy this film. This is a terrific film that delivers solid scares, and fans of the book like myself will enjoy it. I find this film adaptation to be very underrated, and it doesn't deserve the flack it has received. As far as horror films are concerned, Pet Sematary delivers a memorable and terrifying viewing experience. The film has a good cast that deliver on-screen. Actor Fred Gwynne is probably the best here, and the lead actor Dale Midkiff is good as well. This film is better than what most people would think. As far as I'm concerned, this is one of the better King adaptations that really stands out and delivers effective terror. Director Mary Lambert keeps the terror coming and the film has good atmosphere with a sense of evil, dread and helplessness. This is what makes horror so much fun to watch. Pet Sematary has all the elements that would make for a good, entertaining horror film. If you're a Stephen King fan, then check this one out. This film has plenty of effective creepy moments to give you a good scare.

In the style of Blair Witch Project, Cloverfield takes a totally different approach at a monster movie. Using the shaky cam technique, we are thrown in the middle of a monster attack in New York City. Told from the point of view from people with a video camera, we follow the small group of people as they try to escape Manhattan and escape the attack. With the cam, we get a glimpse at the carnage that the monster is causing. A very well crafted film, not for everyone as the film is filmed in shaky cam style so if you're prone to motion sickness, do not watch it! I have epilepsy, and I'm not sure if this film can induce seizures or not, but for potential epileptic viewers, I've watched this film as of yet three times; and I haven't suffered any seizures. But I would recommend that you watch it as far away from your TV as possible. Anyhow back to the film in question, Cloverfield is filmed in the found footage genre, and like films such as The Blair Witch Project and the far superior Cannibal Holocaust, it's presented as a format of which there were no survivors. The film is very intense and thrilling. Cloverfield is a unique Horror film, and is an awesome monster film. I think this is one of the most original horror films I've seen in years and because of the camera work, you really feel that the characters are in jeopardy and it really make you feel like your're there in person. But unfortunately, the film is a bit hard to watch because of the shaky camera work, but after a while you get used to it. A really effective new breed of horror film. Cloverfield delivers some amazing thrills that you won't forget. A far superior work than The Blair Witch Project.

Zodiac is another David Fincher masterpiece he returns to form with this film. Combining thrills, with suspense; Fincher creates real life horror about the infamous Zodiac Killer who terrorized the San Francisco area, this film is a real thriller in the purest sense of the word, and is based on a truly terrifying fact. Based on Robert Graysmith's book of the same name, Zodiac is a tense, thrilling even at times downright horrifying look at the Zodiacs reign of terror. David Fincher's crafts his film to create something that really breaks the rules of Thriller, Mystery, Horror. When I've first seen this film, I thought it was totally different from any other thrillers that I've seen in the past. The only explanation is that Zodiac is a real Horror story, a truly terrifying moment in history, much like when Jack The Ripper stalked the streets of London in 1888. A terrific cast adorns this thrilling film and its a tense film filled with moments of sheer terror and it will keep you guessing until the end. Simply a terrific film. Keep in mind that this is a real Horror story as the Zodiac Killer did exist, a thriller like no other.

This is one sick horror comedy by Lord Of The Rings director, Peter Jackson. Everything about this movie is over the top, the story, the acting, the special effects; everything seems so outrageous. This movie is the directorial debut of Peter Jackson. It's filled with gross out humour and and crazy characters. If you love these movies, I highly recommend it. It's got plenty of laughs and gore to spare. Bad Taste is a fun gory ride you won't want to miss I much preferred this film over Braindead, which I thought was good and funny, but it doesn't compare to Peter Jackson's masterpiece of shock cinema, a very good and original film. What's even more shocking is that it was directed by the same guy who directed The Lord Of The Rings.

1981's The Evil Dead is a phenomenal achievement in the Zombie genre. This is one creepy zombie film that returns to the essence of pure zombie films such as Night Of The Living Dead. The film is dark and gloomy, and you never quite see the evil thats lurking about. The Evil Dead is without a doubt director Sam Raimi's greatest achievement as a director as it was shot on a minimal budget, yet the special effects techniques used are done so well. I admire this film for it's creativity and it's pacing to create tension and scares. When the scariest scenes happen, you are already emotionally drained from the previous tense moments. The Evil Dead is definitely a classic horror film that should belong alongside Classics such as The Exorcist and Halloween.

After firmly establishing himself as a director with The Evil Dead, Sam Raimi cooked up a new vision of The Evil Dead. This time around, it seems that Sam Raimi is more relaxed behind the camera as he departs from his serious first film in The Evil Dead trilogy. Raimi's second film has a more comedic vibe to it, and I personally consider a prelude to his third film of trilogy, Army of Darkness which was flat out a Comedy-Horror film. The Evil Dead 2 is a fun, silly film to watch. It still possesses the wit and originality of the first, but with an added twist, it's more laid back than the first. But it still has everything you'd expect from an Evil Dead film.

With Army Of Darkness, Sam Raimi decided to use his effective Horror-Comedy formula and use that for this whacked out Horror-Comedy. Army Of Darkness is one of the best sequels in the trilogy, and is quite quotable. The one liners are great, the Comedic elements will make you laugh out loud and you will have the time of your life watching this film. This is one great addition to The Evil Dead trilogy, it has strong wit, and clever one liners. The film also has a good dose of action thrown in the mix, and with that, Army Of Darkness is an achievement in Horror-Comedy that should appeal to fans of the first two films, as well as fans of Horror Comedy film. You are guaranteed a good time watching this film, Groovy!

Day Of The Dead, the third entry in George Romero's Living dead series is more serious than usual and the special effects are more revolting this time around. Day Of The Dead is still a very accomplished film from Romero and still manages to entertain you in all its zombie glory. George Romero still manages to conjure another zombie Armageddon film with Day Of The Dead, and this film has some terrific gory moments which makes a Romero zombie flick so special. Tom Savini again takes care of the special effects, and his special effects are stunning as humans are ripped apart by decaying zombies. This is essential viewing for zombie and gore fans alike. Day Of The Dead overall is a solid third entry and won't disappoint the die-hard George Romero fan, its a satisfying film from start to finish and its definitely a winner.

Aside from The Evil Dead trilogy and The Return Of The Living Dead, Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator has got to be the most wacked out zombie film that I've seen. (Not counting Lucio Fulci). Stuart Gordon's film is about a mad scientist who creates a reanimation serum that can reanimate dead body tissue. Do I really need to elaborate more? After an experiment gone awry, things go quickly out of hand. Re-Animator is one of the best Horror comedies that you will ever see. Director Stuart Gordon throws in a few wtf? moments in for good measure. Re-Animator is downright absurd with it's slapstick comedic elements thrown in with an equal dose of old fashioned horror. A film that you won't easily forget, Re-Animator is also one of the best horror films of the 1980's. Jeffrey Combs performance as Herbert West is one of the most memorable in any horror film, and he lights up the screen with his presence.
The film has plenty of gore for the gore hounds and like I've said, at times you'll just won't believe you're eyes. Re-Animator is one crazy film, and it delivers something extremely entertaining. A terrific film and one of the greatest zombie films ever made, Re-Animator is a horror classic. Re-Animator is a fine example of a horror film that uses a simple idea to create something truly one of a kind. If you think about it, the idea is very simple, but Stuart Gordon definitely knows how to get the most out of this plot by crafting something out of the box.

This was fairly original. It introduces one of the most original horror villains in a long time. The story is mediocre, but the on screen killings make up for it. The movie was a lot of fun to watch, filled with descent acting and some cool death and suspenseful scenes, this is a film not to miss. Though not that memorable like the slasher films of the 1980's, Wrestlemaniac offers up a taste of it. So if you're looking for a decent Horror Slasher film to watch, Wrestlemaniac is one that might interest you. So if you have nothing else better to do, step into the ring, and wrestle with this maniac!

Black Christmas is one of the very first slasher films. This is probably the second slasher film ever made, the first being Psycho in 1960. Black Christmas is a tense, terrifying film, and whats great about it is the filmmakers are more interested in building tension and suspense that going all out and do bloody kills. Sure it's bloody, but compared to later films, this film is nothing compared to the slasher films of the 1980's. Black Christmas is almost unforgotten in the sense that, everyone gives Halloween the credit of starting the big slasher film boom of the 1980's, but this film predates Halloween by four years.I don't know why this film got forgotten about, but it still is one fine horror film and a truly terrifying film at that.

Clive Barker's ultimate masterpiece of on screen Horror. Based on his novella, the Hellbound Heart, Hellraiser is one cool film to watch. The film surrounds a mysterious puzzle box built by toy maker, Philippe Lemarchand, unlocked the box opens the gates of hell, and summons demons. Hellraiser is a very cool, and atmospheric horror film. The film is gory and solid. Hellraiser is a terrifying film. There's nothing that Clive Barker doesn't do to your senses. He successfully twists your imagination in ways that no other Horror master can. Barker's film has perverse elements of sexuality which add a certain twist to the overall plot of the film. I have read the book that Hellraiser is based on, and Clive Barker stays very faithful to his novella. The film as much as the book are excellent and this screen adaptation is very well done. After all the film is directed by the mastermind who conjured up this terrifying journey through hell. The acting is great, and the story has a melancholic Horror vibe to it, which makes Hellraiser a fine cinematic work in Horror, what else could you expect from Clive Barker? One thing that I love about Clive Barker, and the thing that he's able to do so well is obviously that he's able to reach beyond your imagination to truly terrify you. Enter the terrifying mind of Clive Barker.

I had been wanting to watch this for years. Unfortunately, the dvd was out of print. But then Anchor Bay re-released it, and I picked this title up. A very interested Horror film with many creative ideas on screen, Phantasm tells the story of a mortician who has unnatural Strength and owns a funeral home we're weird things happen. After witnessing the Tall Man (the mortician) lift a casket by himself into a hearse, Mike tries to investigate the strange happening at the local mortuary. What follows is a terrifying and bizarre happening inside the mortuary. Director Don Coscarelli crafts a terrific horror film. The story is intriguing and the scares are plentiful. Phantasm is yet another horror film somewhat inspired by Carpenter's Halloween. Horror had just been revamped as the horror films in the later part part of the 70's were getting less scary, and less inspired. But fortunately, Halloween came along and then Coscarelli created this classic. Phantasm has plenty of memorable moments and how can a horror fan dismiss the Tall Man? the character is one of the best villains in horror history. Even though this is not a perfect film, Phantasm is one entertaining film.A true classic of the genre, Phantasm single handedly created one of most iconic Horror villains in cinematic history. Not to mention an amazing theme song. Phantasm is one of the best Horror films of the 1970's. Along with Halloween, Phantasm brought glory back to the horror genre after a few tired horror films. A truly memorable and great horror flick.

In a time when horror is dominated by remakes, Hatchet is a true breath of fresh air. Adam Green is one original director, and he knows what makes a great horror film. Every element that makes a good horror film is here, laughs, boobs, scares, gore, violence, you name it. What I loved the most about Hatchet is how the filmmakers simply went ahead and made a film with a true horror vibe. Especially for today, director's tends to concentrate more on CGI horror, thus it seems like they're not having fun with the films that they are making. But with Adam Green's Hatchet you get something different, you get a cheaper made film, but the effects are vintage old school stuff like they did back in the day. Hatchet is unfortunately an overlooked horror film, only the die-hard fans have heard of it, but not the mainstream audience. Well, if you're one of diehards, this film has great gore and has cameos by Robert Englund, Tony Todd and the killer Victor Crowley is played by non other than Kane Hodder, the best Jason Voorhees. If you come across Hatchet, give it a rent, you will most likely love it like I did.

Cheerleader Camp is really a guilty pleasure. The film is on par with Sleepaway Camp as being cleverly silly, yet somewhat scary at times. Cheerleader Camp is simply put, a fun little Horror film to watch. The film is not to be taken so seriously, and in the end, if you don't take it seriously, you'll discover that a fine film lies beneath its veneer of B grade fair. The cast is comprised of Betsy Russell, who would later be famous for playing the wife of homicidal madman, Jigsaw in the Saw series also in this film is teenaged heartthrob Leif Garrett and Playboy centerfold, Pamela Ferrati. The cast seem like they're having fun with this film and it shows on screen. Cheerleader Camp is not for everyone, but if you like silly B grade slasher flicks, give this one a shot. It's a better film than everyone suggests it to be.

Sleepaway Camp is a very weird horror film to watch. It's not the type of film that will be enjoyed by the majority of horror fans, however it's one of the few films that has a certain charm to it. The film is very cheesy, it's acting, dialogue and story are tongue in cheek. This is the type of film that shouldn't be considered seriously. Sleepaway Camp blends comedic elements as well and can almost be seen as a horror comedy. Still though not without it's faults, Sleepaway Camp is still a very good film despite it's tongue in cheek moments. The film is an awesome treat to watch, and if you like cheesy B grade movies, then Sleepaway Camp is the film for you.

Sleepaway Camp II has even more silliness than the first film. Stripping away the more "serious" overtones of the first, Unhappy Campers takes on a whole new approach to this tongue in cheek series. The film is simply a riot from start to finish, and Pamela Springsteen (sister of singer Bruce Springsteen) is awesome as Angela. The death scenes are hilarious, not to mention super silly. Unhappy Campers is a fun film to watch with friends over beers. A very original, and fun take on the series, Unhappy Campers is a prime example of a terrific Horror comedy that actually works. Fans of the first Sleepaway Camp are going to enjoy this film just as much due to it's over the top humour and silliness.

Children Of The Corn is an often overlooked horror film. Based on the Stephen King story of the same name, Children Of The Corn is the story of a boy preacher who arrives in Gatlin, Nebraska and convinces the local children to murder the adults. After noticing an injured boy running from the corn field and into the street, young couple Burt and Vicky (Peter Horton, Linda Hamilton) travel to Gatlin to find help. When they get there, they find that the town is empty and is only habited by children. Soon the new arrivals know what really went on, and find out that Isaac, the boy preacher has brainwashed the children into killing their parents. Children Of The Corn is not the best Stephen King adaptation, but the filmmakers do a pretty good job in creating tense, horrifying moments. Sometimes the film seems a little sloppy, and cheesy, but this is what makes it a fun film to watch. The fact that we never quit see "He Who Walks Behind The Rows" (the god that the children worship) adds to the eerie atmosphere that this possesses. We are only given a brief scene with He who walks behind the rows, and when it happens, it reminds you of the shark from Jaws. The payoff of the film was decent, and entertaining, but it was also disappointing. Children Of The Corn is still a very entertaining horror film despite it's flaws. Just watch it with an open mind, and you may not feel too disappointed.

John Carpenter's 1978 masterpiece is a milestone in horror. The movie's plot is very simple, but very effective. Michael Myers is a terrific villain stalking young women on Halloween night. The movie is complemented with a great cast with such actors as Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasence . This is by far my all time favorite movie and with solid directing and a great story line, this film should be viewed by every die hard horror fan. One of the best things about Halloween is the fact that it uses suspense to steadily build the horror. This is a film that doesn't have any gore and John Carpenter uses Alfred Hitchcock trick to create the tension. Halloween is one of the first slasher flicks; there have been two other films before it, Black Christmas, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, both excellent horror films. However Halloween is much different, the virtual absence of violence and blood in the film is what separates this slasher film from all the other that came before or after it. Halloween is a film in the same style of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. In total there is maybe less than 10 minutes of on screen violence. For me, that's one of the reasons that Halloween is one of my favorite films, because it's a horror film that uses suspense very well. Usually in a slasher film you'll have a masked killer leaving a bloody trail of gore. There's nothing wrong with that, but I'm the type of horror fan that likes to have a lot of suspense, and thrills with the killing. Not saying that I hate the slasher genre, in fact I love it. But I absolutely adore Halloween for its sheer knack building the suspense, and creating effective scares. This one great film to watch on Halloween. Every cast member delivers strong performances, especially Donald Pleasence as Dr. Sam Loomis. Halloween is by far the best Slasher film ever made, and is a definite classic of the genre.

Halloween: The Curse of The Curse of Michael Myers is in my book, the third worst film of the Halloween franchise. At times the film doesn't even make sense, and it's all over the place. The result is a mess. However, for some reason, I did find this one to be decent enough to watch. However, the film does lack the power the power of previous Halloween films. Many Halloween and Horror fans have said that the producer's cut of the film is better because it feature the cut scenes integrated in that cut of the film. I have yet to see that cut of the film, but for this version, it lacked the style and power and minimal suspense. But it is better than the third installment. Some of the performances here are questionable. What's very interesting about this film is the casting of Paul Rudd, who would later go on to star in popular comedy films. The film as a whole has a very dark atmosphere, almost too dark. You can't even see what's going on, on-screen. The kills are obscured, and you're left in trying to figure out what is going on on-screen. But if you can make out what's happening, then you can kind of enjoy this film. I have yet to check out the producers cut of this film, and by what I hear it is the definitive version of this picture. The Curse of Michael Myers is a decent film, but is also a mess of a film. The film has potential, but is never really fulfilled due in part to this films checkered history. Halloween fans know what I'm talking about.

In my opinion, Halloween H20 should have been the third installment in the series; it's the truest sequel that keeps in the tradition of the first two. In this one we fast forward 20 years after the events of the first film, Laurie Strode is a teacher of a private school, living under an assumed name and living in fear of her brother's return. H20 has a teen horror vibe to it, but it works so well that you forget about it. It's definitely better than most of the teen Horror films released in that period and is simply a stunning, original film that returns to the roots of the first two Halloween films. The film is complimented by a good dose of scares and violence; this is the best of all the sequels. H20 should have been the end of a great franchise; however this "final" entry was not the last. They made the awful Halloween: Resurrection. H20 for me, at least will always be seen as THE final chapter in the Halloween saga. The idea behind this film is very engaging. I really enjoyed Jamie Lee Curtis in this film. Also I really enjoyed the fact that Steve Miner (director of Friday The 13th, 2, 3) directed this. Halloween H20 is a terrific, underrated film that really should get more praise. Halloween H20 is for me, at least the real end to the saga. Watch it, and decide for yourself. This is a good film that shouldn't get rejected by fans of the series. If you ask me, Halloween: Resurrection is the one to criticize.

Well, well here's the reimagining of Halloween. Directed by Rob Zombie, director of the great Horror film, The Devil's Rejects and House of A 1000 Corpses; the Halloween remake is an almost apocalyptic vision of the notorious madman, it's the birth of something evil and totally sinister. What's interesting of this remake is Rob Zombie's use of violence in this film, never before in a Halloween film has violence been used in excess, until now. This is by far the bloodiest, goriest film in Halloween's history. The remake is also profane, and uses nudity to appeal to a new generation of horror fans. As a fan of the original (which is by far my favorite film ever) I can admire Rob Zombie's take on the Halloween saga. As far as remakes are concerned, this one is not that bad. Rob Zombie's Halloween is an interesting take on the Michael Myers character. There's effective chills on-screen and enough gore and decent kills to appeal the new generation of horror fans. But for my money, nothing will beat the original. I felt that this didn't fully live to what it could have been. What made the original film so good was the use of suspense to create the terror. That's something that's very much absent from this remake. Instead Rob Zombie uses cheap thrills to get the job done, it works, but not that often. This is an enjoyable film, but it will never be outdone. The original will always be the classic, and the must see film.

One of the greatest monster films ever made. Also this was a benchmark in motion picture special effects. A true classic that has stood the test of time. King King along with The Mummy is the best of classic horror monster films of the golden era of cinema. Also the film has a touch of drama as King Kong meets his demise on the Empire State Building. King Kong is asuperb film, a well crafted film that is legendary as is really one of the greatest of all monster films

When it comes to Stephen King adaptations, they either are hit or miss. With the case with The Shining, it's a totally different story. Stanley Kubrick keeps the essence of King's original work, but of course changes a few things. However it's nothing really to worry about because this film adaptation is terrifying and tense. The film succeeds very well at building up the horror.
Stanley Kubrick crafts this Stephen King adaptation with brilliance. Different from the novel, Kubrick still manages to keep the key terrifying elements in his film adaptation. In many ways, The Shining is one of the first horror movie "epics." The film atmosphere of helplessness adds to the fear and paranoia of the characters. Jack Nicholson gives a phenomenal performance as Jack Torrance, and the way he transforms into a total psycho is absolutely brilliant. The Shining is a brilliant Horror film that remains one of the best horror films ever made. Even if it doesn't follow the book precisely, the film itself still manages to scare you because the film itself has solid acting and a great plot., One of things that makes this film work so well is the pacing, the suspense and horror steadily builds up, and strikes you when you least expect it. Stanley Kubrick is a master director because he knows how to effectively build a story with effective camera shots. The Shining is a masterful piece of horror history, and Kubrick like everyone of his other films has created a masterpiece. Stanley Kubrick while using the book as a basis has crafted a totally different adaptation and he's made into the Kubrickian style that fans of Kubrick are used to. The Shining is a big film with a big scope and big scares, the bottom line is that The Shining works well to scare the audience and it's truly terrifying.The Shining is a terrifying, paranoid ride in the overlook hotel. Jack Torrance has a room waiting for you.

Nazis zombies? Hell yeah, I saw the poster of this film and I had to see it. When I did, I enjoyed but felt that there was a lot to improve. Dead Snow is enjoyable and is a well thought of idea. But unfortunately Dead Snow ventures in territory previously explored in the classic Nazi zombie film Shock Waves, which is the best of it's kind. Dead Snow is part horror and part comedy. The film is good for what it is, but it's nothing truly spectacular. However you must admire this different take on the Nazi zombie genre. The back story was pretty interesting, and I thought it was well executed. Considering that this is a foreign film, I thought that the acting, effects and story were great. But the film leaves a certain feeling that the film makers could have done slightly better. But the end result isn't bad at all. The film has plenty of gore and guts to satisfy any zombie fanatic. The weakest point of Dead Snow is the fact that it tends to drag on, and it's fairly slow to get to the point. But despite the fact thats it's imperfect at times, Dead Snow remains a solid enough zombie flick to enjoy and is the best Nazi Zombie film since 1977's Shock Waves. The film has plenty of good points that overshadows the bad and taking into consideration that some Zombie maestro's are losing their touch, Dead Snow is a breath of fresh air despite its flaws.

Poltergeist is one of the best horror films dealing with the supernatural. Produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by Tobe Hooper, these two cook up a film that scary, chilling and memorable. When I first saw this film I was of course scared, and I don't scare easily. The clown scene was the WTF moment for me, and it stayed with me for some time, still has in a way. And I hate clowns. Go Figure. Poltergeist is probably one of the best films of the 80's, its certainly ranks up there as one of the scariest films of the 80's. Hooper and Spielberg craft a film that successfully builds tension and horror to create something truly terrifying. Thats the main reason that Poltergeist succeeds in being so terrifying, the scares steadily build up, and Hooper knows how to create the atmosphere necessary to make this a very chilling film. The film has terrific special effects and great acting. Poltergeist is a well paced horror film that definitely delivers great scares. As Tobe Hooper still had talent back then, he delivered a solid horror film, and combined with the production talents of Steven Spielberg, this is one spooky thrill that no horror fan should miss out on. Poltergeist is a fine classic .and is truly something to re watch or watch for the first time depending if you've seen the film or not. A one of a kind film of spooky proportions make this film a must see classic for all horror fans.

Gremlins is another film by master director Joe Dante. The film blends Comedy and Horror very well and is a very creative film. What I love most about this film is it's originality, it had me laughing screaming, laughing and really I just had a great time watching this film. If you're looking for a great Horror Comedy, then Gremlins is it. It's a very original film and if you like silly films like Killer Klowns From Outer Space, you will love Gremlins. Gremlins is one great film, and is one of Joe Dante's best along with his more serious horror film, The Howling. So, if you like great, Horror comedy then pick Gremlins up, you will a great time as these furry creature don't play nice. With a lot of Tongue in cheek moments, and an interesting story, Gremlins is a memorable horror comedy that is entertaining from start to finish. Produced by Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante and Steven Spielberg create something fun. If you enjoy silly tongue in cheek horror, Gremlins is the film to watch. Joe Dante is a great director and with Gremlins, he solidifies that statement. This is a fun film from start to finish and is one of the best horror comedies of the 1980's. If you love horror comedies, and haven't seen this classic, then head on to your video store and rent it. This a great film from start to finish, a film that remains one of the best horror comedies ever released. Get ready for a memorable crazy ride because Gremlins delivers.

The Exorcist is classic horror at its finest. One of the defining films of the genre, The Exorcist remains one of the benchmark films in the genre by generating some of the scariest moments ever put before a viewing audience. In my mind, there is no scarier horror film than The Exorcist. Sure there has been the many reasons as to why this film is scary, the spider walk scene, the Exorcism scene and such. One thing though that keeps the horror constant throughout this picture is the atmosphere and tension. William Friedkin is a phenomenal director that delivers an effective and memorable horror experience. This film has definitely stood the test of time. Four decades after its release, The Exorcist still stands among countless imitators as The great film that redefined the genre. The cast is brilliant with powerful performances by Linda Blair as the possessed girl Regan, Ellen Burstyn as Regan mother and Max Von Sydow. All the actors deliver here, and each bring a powerful, memorable performance that elevates The Exorcist to the status that it is today. Many people have claimed that this isn't a scary film or what not. Well, I have to disagree. The Exorcist is a powerful film that delivers memorable scares. Unfortunately with an audience like today, they'll obviously scorn a great film like The Exorcist and say that it's not scary and what not. Well in the end, this is truly a film for cinema elitists and unlike cheap jump scares that induce 10 seconds of terror; this classic has a powerful and genuinely unnerving atmosphere for two hours that cannot and will never be topped. Horror fans still vote this as the best horror film ever made, and it's easy to see why.

The Exorcist III should have been called by its original title, Legion. But due to marketing issues, the studio felt that it would succeed more under an Exorcist moniker. Well let me just say it's far superior to the heretic and is far more creepy and intriguing than the previous film. The cast does a fairly decent job, and the film is filled with tense moments of creepy atmosphere and suspenseful scenes. A solidly paced and directed horror film, Exorcist III is a different take on the story, but it does succeed on creating effective terror and jolts. Although not as memorable as the original masterpiece, Exorcist III is still a necessary film to watch. What's great about the film is that it still manages at delivering good scares, but unlike the original, it doesn't have the intensity that you'd want from a film like The original, but compared to the second one, this third entry is an improvement. There's plenty of good elements to deliver an effective horror film here, but in the end I felt it also was a good stand alone film as well, not a film that necessarily needed The Exorcist title on the cover. The film is very entertaining for what it is, and though is not as horrifying as the original film, it still has enough good horror bits to really make it an interesting, and scary horror film to watch. If you loved the original, was disappointed by the second; then check this one out, the film is worth your time, and will give you a few good jolts in the process.

Ghost Ship is another Dark Castle feature. The film is more famous for it's opening scene, and some have claimed that it's the best part of the film. Ghost Ship is an average Horror film with an average cast and story. The film sometimes falls flat and doesn't get quite there in terms of good storytelling and executions. Sometimes scenes are not that great, the cast could have done a better job, but they seemed bored I guess. Ghost Ship is the text book definition of a guilty pleasure. Despite it's many flaws, I feel compelled to watch this film from time to time. But if you want the ultimate haunted ship film, track down a copy of Alvin Rakoff's Death Ship, another Guilty pleasure, but with a more intriguing and creepy story than Ghost Ship.

Fear Dot Com has often been dismissed as one of the worst horror films to be seen. Well I can say with that it's a fact that there are far worst films the Horror genre has produced over the years. Obviously the main reason that this film is dismissed so easily is that it shares similar plot lines to The Ring (which came out the same year, the American remake that is). Getting back to this film, I thought it was enjoyable enough to kill time and it was entertaining. However like everyone else, I thought the plot and acting was pretty thin. But as a popcorn horror film, this film works. Obviously not the best film, but with putting into focus all the other horror films that have come out in recent times, Fear Dot Com doesn't deserve all the flack it has received. The ideas presented in the film have been used before, but still the concept seems interesting. I personally think that the idea of dying in seven days has many angles to a good story. With The Ring it was a video cassette with Fear Dot Com, it's a website. Both films are good and very entertaining in my book. I wouldn't call Fear Dot Com great, but I would call it a pleasant time waster, which is what it is. This film is way better than a lot of trash in horror nowadays, most notably My Soul To Take. Fear Dot Com is the type of that you have to shut your brain off to enjoy. Mindless entertainment.

Gothika is another film from Dark Castle Entertainment, the infamous studio that releases lame horror films. Aside from Gothika, Orphan, The Hills Run Red, Ghost Ship and The Reaping, their Horror catalogue is less than impressive. Even a few titles I mentioned aren't that great either. However, with Gothika, they probably made their best and most original horror film along with Orphan and The Hills Run Red. Gothika relies on atmosphere to built it's horror, it's not down right scary, but the film does have a creepy vibe to it. Halle Berry and Robert Downey Jr. are amazing to watch on screen and its their on screen chemistry that makes the film much more worthwhile. I don't understand why this film has gotten so many bad reviews, it seems that this film does something that many Horror films of this decade refuse to do, and thats taking a risk. And as far as taking a risk goes, Gothika is a great accomplishment in my book. The film really is fresh new take on horror and is very enjoyable.

Deep Blue Sea can be seen as a more high tech version of Jaws, with a lot less story and more emphasize on action, suspense and horror. A cast of decent actors adorns this disaster at sea clichés ridden film. Renny Harlin who directed Cliffhanger directs this horror actioner and has a few tricks of his own to shock and entertain you. The cast isn't sensational, and really there's maybe three characters in the whole film that you end up sympathizing with as the smarter, deadlier sharks break out and seek a quick lunch. With nowhere to run, the characters are pitted against a stronger foe, typical cliché for a disaster film. But somehow, Deep Blue Sea is a thrilling, suspenseful Horror action film with enough bite to keep you interested till the end. Rennyt Harlin makes decent enough action films, and with Deep Blue Sea he keeps the ball rolling and delivers a pretty good film despite the numerous clichés.

Interview with The Vampire is one of the most intriguing vampire films ever made. Based on Anne Rice's novel of the same name, Interview With The Vampire is a beautiful tale of horror. Told on screen by director Neil Jordon, this film is exquisite in every sense of the word. Tom Cruise is amazing in his performance as Lestat and so is is Brad Pitt in his performance as Louis. This film is a dramatic departure from the traditional vampire flick. The film still boasts enough gore to keep the traditional horror fans interested, but be warned this is not traditional horror. I found it very different but still, it does manages to scare and the film oozes with romantic, Gothic overtones. In the end, Interview With The Vampire is a new breed of vampire tale, a horror film with character and drama.

The Lost Boys is an awesome, thrilling, funny and scary vampire film. This film is responsible for my interest in horror, my love of the genre and my love of vampire films. I first seen this film when I was 8 years old, and I loved it right from the start. Then I was hooked on horror films. The Lost Boys is Kiefer Sutherland's best film; he's awesome as David, the leader of the boys. I won't reveal who is the head vampire, don't want to spoil anything for you. This film features eccentric characters (Grandpa, The Frog Brothers) and is a very cool film, of all the vampire films that I've seen, and I've seen many since my first viewing of this treasure, this film is one of the best films of the vampire genre and along with Fright Night and Near Dark is one of the most memorable vampire films of the 80's. It's hip, it's cool and it's a fun film to watch on Halloween. Not to mention it's Joel Schumacher's greatest achievement as a director, he made a fairly decent Batman film (Batman Forever) and butchered the series with another (Batman and Robin) and directed another good thriller, Phone Booth. But The Lost Boys will always remain his greatest yet, he isn't exactly Spielberg. But enjoy The Lost Boys for what it is, a solid vampire film and mandatory Halloween viewing. This is one of the best horror films of the 1980's. If you love vampire films, check out The Lost Boys.

The Forsaken has got to be the best vampire flick since 1987's The Lost Boys. The film oozes of sexuality that made The Lost Boys such a great film. The Forsaken takes elements from a few classic vampire films, and combines them into one entertaining horror yarn. Though not original and lacking in serious talent, The Forsaken is a notch above recent vampire films such as Blade. Whats so great about this film is that it brings back all the elements of what made a vampire film so good. Flawed of course, but very entertaining, The Forsaken is one iof the better vampire films of recent memory. Combining elements of road movies such as The Hitcher with Near Dark, director J.S Cardone does a fairly good job at crafting a mildly scary horror film. The Forsaken can be seen as almost a return to form in the vampire genre because at this point in horror, vampire films had lost their touch, the traditional elements such as using a wooden stake through the heart, garlic and holy water. We had vampires that could walk through sunlight. All do respect, but wtf? Vampires are night creatures. They don't sparkle or walk through sunlight and live, they burn to death. The Forsaken embraces classic vampire lore with a modern day feel and the film is faithful to a true vampire film. Take it as you will, but considering the whole Twilight craze a few years after this film was released, at least we have a film like this to remind us that vampires were truly terrifying and NOT something to be twisted and manufactured to teenage girls. The Forsaken is a very good film and before one dismisses it, you should at least give this film a chance.

After the very bad I Am Legend (I am a big fan of the novel) I needed something that delivered on the vampire goods. In 30 Days Of Night, I found that and much more. A terrific film from start to finish, 30 Days Of Night is one of the best vampire films since the first From Dusk Till Dawn. Lacking an awesome story (the plot is somewhat simple), Night is still a fine film that delivers on everything that makes a great vampire film. This isn't those crappy Blade films half man half vampire, no. These vampires are the real deal. A film that blends elements of old school vampire styles with a modern twist, this film redefines the vampire film. Very bloody, and gory; there is no shortage of vampire violence to be found within. The cast does a very good job and deliver credible and believable performances. The film is a non stop horror ride, and the feel of helplessness is apparent as the survivors are sieged in a small town in the middle of nowhere in Alaska with no one to come to their aid. This is a very original vampire film, but won't be remembered as one of the greats. The genius that was found here was surpassed by the Swedish vampire film, Let The Right One in, which along with this one brings credibility to the vampire film. After those atrocious Twilight films which are a travesty on vampire films, it's good to know that there are some vampire films out there that really are great, and in the case of 30 Days Of Night, it certainly does.

This is the best rendition of Dracula ever captured on film. Gary Oldman's dark and sensual personae outshines any other vampire who ever dare put on a cape. To me Gary Oldman is the most talented and underrated actor ever. He becomes who he is playing, however in this role... Dracula became him... Oldman set the bar so high it is untouchable even to Bela Lugosi. Winona Ryder's delicateness suited the role of Mina/Elisabeta nicely and Keanu Reeves played the unsuspecting and naive Jonathan with satisfaction. However the whole movie comes together because of Gary Oldman's intoxicating essence. He draws the viewers into his darkness and passion and guides them through until the end. This film is drastically romantic and hauntingly captivating- just like a real Dracula movie should be. The cinematography deserved Oldman's phenomenal performance and perfectly created a true vampire realm. Francis Ford Coppola is brilliant. This is the spirit of the vampire.

Fright Night has the reputation of being one of the best vampire films of the 1980?s, maybe of the genre. Long before The Lost Boys, Near Dark and The Hunger, there was Fright Night. A little horror gem with such a simple story that it makes it that more enjoyable. Fact is, is that Fright Night strips away anything really original or unique, however, director Tom Holland pulls it off with great precision. What makes Fright Night a lot of fun, is the characters, the story, Brad Fiedel's incredible soundtrack and Nostalgia of the 1980?s. I mean these were the years where vampire films mattered. Vampires were evil and charming. Fright Nigh delivers all that. Many people have said that this film looks dated. I reply, "so what?" the film manages to still be entertaining and fun after all these, and that's what counts in the end. Hell, mostly every film made in the 80?s are starting to show their age. Doesn't mean they still can't be fun. Fright Night is one of my personal favorite vampire films for that matter. Not only that, but its one of the best horror films of the 1980?s. Seeing this for the first time, I was blown away. Tom Holland's direction on this flick is super, the writing brilliant, the characters enjoyable to watch on the screen. This is one vampire flick that deserves to be treasured. Fright Night is a fun ride throughout. There's a great blend of comedy and horror that's sure to satisfy. Amanda Bearse, Roddy Mcdowall, William Ragsdale all deliver in this fine vampire film. But obviously the best performance of all is Chris Sarandon as Jerry Dandridge. This is a phenomenal Horror yarn that you shouldn't miss. To those that say that they don't want to watch Fright Night because it's a "cult" film, you're probably an idiotic person who wants to watch Twilight instead.To those who say that the film looks dated, well nearly every film of the 80?s looks dated, so tough luck. Oh well, at least fans of the film aren't missing out, because revisiting this again and again, makes it worthwhile and makes us fans remember that vampires were once evil creatures of the night.

Wes Craven's 1977 film The Hill's Have Eyes is one of the most depraved and jaw dropping films in the horror genre. Wes Craven directs this awesome film with relish as the characters on screen are brutally stalked and murdered by a family of cannibals. With ever camera shot, Craven makes you feel uneasy as the backdrop of the film is in the open and you end up feeling the same anguish as the characters on screen. The Hill's Have Eyes is a powerful Horror film and this is Wes Craven when he's just warming up. His Horror talents would culminate with 1984's Nightmare On Elm Street and 1989's Shocker. The Hill's Have Eyes is a film of raw, brutal intensity and is a wild ride from start to finish. The cast is pretty good as well, Dee Wallace and Michael Berryman are the best actors in this film and Wes Craven has cooked up an amazing film that you won't forget.

The Omen directed by Richard Donner is a formidable Horror film that features great performances and terrific scares. This is one of the scariest films since 1973's The Exorcist and I also consider it a classic. The cast is a talented bunch of actors including legendary Gregory Peck. The Omen features some nerve racking creepy scenes and is an effective Horror to scare you. This is one legendary Horror film that no self respecting horror fan should miss. A stellar cast, an awesome script and brilliant directing By Richard Donner make this film a winner and a classic of the horror genre. This is quite the film to watch on a dark, rainy night when you're alone at home. The Omen like The Exorcist still gives the audience genuine chills. This is horror at its finest, horror that is genuine, memorable and brilliantly constructed with atmosphere, and slowly unfolding terror to create a tense atmosphere that will stick with you some time after watching this. The Omen is one of the best examples atmospheric terror that I've seen. The Omen is a solid, thrilling and harrowing horror film that demands your attention. A brilliant film, this is one of the true classics of the horror genre. This also one of the best films that has evil child incorporated in its plot. If you're looking for ultimate terror, then The Omen is a nightmare waiting for you.

Damien: Omen II is a mediocre sequel to a classic film. Created to cash in on the success of the first, this entry has a good idea for a plot, but it simply doesn't cut in the long run. The first half is good, but unfortunately is weakened by a second half. The film is mediocre at best, and it's a shame because the first Omen was such a memorable classic of the genre. This sequel is forgettable and doesn't possess what made the first film such a terrifying film. The attempts at horror fall flat, and it almost becomes unbearable. By the time the credits roll, you realize that Omen \II was a waste and that it could have been much better than this. The film lacks anything that would make this a memorable sequel, and it simply doesn't deliver the shocks and jolts that you'd expect from a film like this. This sequel wasn't entertaining, and the cast were bland, and didn't offer anything interesting that would make this film watchable. I thought that this film was a mediocre entry to a classic horror film. This film is forgettable, and like the other two sequels that followed, don't meet expectations. This film is the first of many disappointments in this series, and The Omen franchise would become one of the worst in horror history in my opinion. Aside from Richard Donner's The Omen, the sequels really don't match or exceed the original film, therefore there are no worthy sequels to The Omen. This film is mediocre with a poor script, acting and directing. Don't waste your time with this film.

The Final Conflict had the potential to be a very strong, redeeming film over the bad second one, instead it's one of the worst sequel as of yet to the original Omen. I can give him props however to Sam Neil to portray Damien Thorn effectively, but unfortunately his incredible acting ability doesn't even salvage this terrible film. Sam Neil looks like he's struggling to do his best with a poorly written script, and he tries his best to portray an adult Damien, but the film is a failure. I found that the film dragged too long to get to the point of this mess. The Final Conflict could have gone through another two rewrites before being approved by the studio, the concept was good, but the poorly written script ruins the film. The idea behind the plot were great, and it's a shame the filmmakers couldn't create something more memorable. Like I stated earlier, Sam Neil is a great choice, and is perfect for the part. Unfortunately due to a mediocre script, his talent can't redeem such a poor film. The strength of the film is Neil, but the weakness is a script that is heavily flawed. The film doesn't have any remarkable horror moments, and doesn't deliver anything scary. I think this film could have been a great entry in the series, one that had an interesting idea by having Damien Thorn as an adult. However, ideas expressed on film are flat and unimpressive. All in all, The Final Conflict is a bad film that could be so much better, it's a shame that with such an interesting idea, they came up with such a mundane entry in an obviously tired franchise.

This film is based on the Jack The Ripper Whitechapel 1888 murders of 6 prostitutes. Based on Alan Moore's graphic Novel of the same, From Hell is a thrill a minute murder Horror/Thriller. The Hughes Brothers have directed this adaptations with flair. The film is a real nail bitter and when the killer strikes, you can't help but jump out of your seat. Johnny Depp is as usual, excellent in this role of inspector Aberline. The movie as a whole should is a new type of "slasher" film. Or maybe is Slasher film to harsh a word to describe this film. From Hell is a violent and gory ride from start to finish, it will definitely twist you're senses from the inside out, but you'll definitely remember this film for it's shear realistic power.

David Cronenberg's The Fly is one of the best Horror films of the 1980's. Cronenberg has always made films that have to do with bodily horror, and in The Fly we have one of the best examples of his work. Cronenberg has made many terrific films dealing in the body Horror genre, one of favorites is Videodrome, but I have got to give him props for this incredible remake. His version of The Fly is incredibly raw, and unflinching. The Fly is truly a masterwork in the Horror genre. Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis give terrific performances. The film is well paced and steadily builds up to the horrifying moments that Jeff Goldblum's character becomes a fly after his teleportation experiment goes wrong. The Fly remake is a marvel of body Horror, it's one of those films that genuinely scares you, I was scared shitless watching this. The thing that I admire the most about director David Cronenberg is the fact that he has a talent, and eye of what makes you tick, he knows how to scare you in horrific ways by portraying situations on screen that are shocking and terrifying. The Fly is his best since Videodrome and he pulls out every trick that he's got to create one of the best horror remakes ever made. The Fly is a definite work of genius and not since the 1958 film has The Fly been more terrifying than ever before. Simply put, The Fly is a sick, twisted, perverted masterpiece of Cronenberg fair. And I mean that with the greatest compliment. The Fly is one of the best films of it's kind and remains one of Cronenbergs very best films.

Lake Placid I believe is a very underrated film. The film seems to be crucified by the fact it was written by Alley McBeal creator, David E. Kelly. If you can get past this fact, Lake Placid is a very entertaining horror comedy. The acting is decent at best and the scares are good enough, but the film works because it is entertaining and is meant to be a fun film to watch. The film's story is about a killer larger than life crocodile, and the hunt to capture it. With a script laced with tongue and cheeks humour, Lake Placid is different killer creature film. The films humour does get nerve racking at times, but considering the length of the film, in the end you don't care. If you like silly horror films, then you'll most likely want to watch this film.Veteran horror director Steve Miner (Friday The 13th Part 2, 3, House, Halloween H20) directs this film with wit, and Minder definitely knows how to craft a good, fun, B movie style creature film. Even if Lake Placid is flawed, this is still a very good little film. A fairly good effort in general, Lake Placid manages to combine Silliness with decent enough horror element. This film can definitely be seen as an introduction to a horror film for people who are new to the genre. The film will probably appeal to a younger, more ripe horror crowd who can't handle films such as The Exorcist. If you're new to horror and want a killer creature film, then watch this one or Jaws. This is fairly soft in it's horror themes to appeal to people who would usually hate the genre due to the fact that it's too intense.

After The success of the show, it was obvious that a film would conclude it's terrific run. X Files: Fight The Future is a terrific Sci Fi Horror film with a fairly good story and decent enough acting to keep one entertained. Moulder and Scully are back one the trail of the paranormal, and this film succeeds in providing the viewer with head scratching questions. This is an enjoyable film that will appeal to Sci Fi fans as well as Horror fans. The story steadily builds up to a tense climax and pays off, and this film ends on a high note.
The film will appeal to diehard fans of the series. The film has a terrific atmosphere of mystery and doubt. All the elements that made the TV show great are here and the finished product is very well done. The reason the film works so well is that they were able to keep all the key elements that made the show entertaining and great while expanding the plot to be more complex, intriguing, mysterious and horrifying. This film is a fairly good attempt for the show to transcend to the big screen. There are enough thrills to keep diehard fans interested. And people who haven't watched the show will probably enjoy the film as well. A film that full of mystery, thrills, horror and good old crime drama, this is one film that can appeal to a broad audience, and not just Horror fans or Sci Fi fans. A terrific film that has been been very well crafted, entertaining and well written, this is a film that even though flawed will definitely entertain you if you're in the mood for something different. This film is a change of pace from many of the Sci Fi / Horror films that we have seen.

Follow up to S Files: Fight For The Future is a different change of pace than the first Sci Fi Horror film that was so terrific to watch. Elements that made the first film so good are here, but they're watered down to make it less strainfull viewing on the viewer. The plot is more simpler and feels more like an episode of the X Files, at least thats how they could have done it. Moulder and Scully are called back in service to help investigate a series of bizarre disappearances. The film is a fairly decent film, but there is a feeling that the script could have been reworked a bit before being being green lit. The acting is decent enough to keep you interested and the story is intriguing, but it misses a little something to make it a much better, more developed plot for the film. Obviously this sequel would not be as strong as the first X-Files film, but the filmmakers manage to make an entertaining Sci Fi/mystery horror film. A good film to watch, but the sequel suffers from a lack of creative original ideas. The film could have played out as a two part episode of the show. This type of storyline could have been better off as an episode than an actual film. But the film is entertaining somewhat, it's good enough to entertain you, but it doesn't do anything phenomenal with the overall script.
The film overall lacks the Horror Sci Fi elements that made the first one great. Still watchable. Just expect something average while watching this film.

Predator is one of the greatest Action Horror films ever made. Directed with style by the same director as Die Hard, you know that this film would kick major a$$. Not to mention that Arnold Schwarzenegger gives one terrific performance. Predator doesn't lose time to dive directly into the action. In fact, the action starts 15 minutes into the movie. Predator has some awesome thrills and horrifying moments, it's definitely one terrific film to watch and is definitely a film for fans of either action films or Horror films. Predator blends both genres so well that it a visual treat to the eyes, a spectacularly crafted film from start to finish. Despite it's simplistic story, Predator is a tense Sci Fi action horror film that delivers great scares and awesome action. Predator has some wicked special effects by special effects master Stan Winston, and the film is none stop excitement from beginning to end. The film feature a few good one liners and this is an appealing film for both fans of Horror and Action films. Of all the Predator films that I've seen, this is of course the best one. This is a tense, suspenseful film as the Predator hunts down every member of Arnie's Squad in The Jungles of South America. The films never gives you time to breath and builds up to one great climax where Arnold and Predator face off. McTiernan succeeds into blending three genres of film into one, and the result is one of the best Sci Fi action Horror films since Alien. Also worth mentioning along with Terminator, this is one of the best performances from Arnold Schwarzenegger. Predator is a must see film for fans of Horror and Action, and will definitely not disappoint. A truly electrifying and tense film with awesome Horror and Action.

John Mctiernan created something totaly jaw dropping with Predator. Predator remains one of the best Sci Fi action Horror films to come along in a long time. So obviously, the filmmakers would be making a sequel. Following a solid film like Predator is no easy feet, and one reason for that is because of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Schwarzenegger made Predator a memorable thrills ride. One other thing, the first film had a couple of terrific action stars, perfect for the parts. Predator 2 takes a whole different direction than the first film, and now the predator hunts the streets of L.A where gangs rule the streets and crime is rampant. Predator 2 is an average, barely passable sequel to the awesome Predator. With the absence of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Predator 2 falls a little flat and ends up being an average film. However despite its flaws, there are a lot of tense action sequences that blend horror and gore much like the first one, but because of it's somewhat weak cast, Predator 2 lacks the power and originality of the first film. For the die-hard fans of the first, this film will probably most likely disappoint you. Danny Glover is the best actor in the film and he does what he can to keep the film going as the Predator hunts the streets of L.A. Predator 2 lacks the punch of the first film, but overall is a passable sequel.
The cast involved are decent at best, nothing special, and like I've mentioned, Danny Glover is the stronger actor in this film. Predator 2 is fun, but it does the lack the punch of the first film. Just don't expect anything superb, before watching this film, go in with average expectations, and you may not be disappointed.

AVP-Alien VS Predators is an average action horror flick. The first cross over of two sequels, this is the better film. AVP is an interesting concept, but with minimal satisfaction. Considering that this film combines two creatures of two of the most legendary action Sci Fi horror franchises, you'd expect something phenomenal. But also in a way, this film is the best that they could do, and it is a film with good results, but it makes you feel that theres something missing to make this the film that Predator and Alien fans want it to be a truly exciting film. The film does have moments of tense, brutal action. But you feel the limitations of the script. you can tell that the story feel incomplete, at least thats how I felt. The acting is fairly decent for a film of this caliber, just don't expect something truly phenomenal. Because you won't find it here. For what it's worth, AVP is good entertainment. The film has a lot of unrealized potential, but it manages to be a fun thrill ride. Helmed by Paul W.S Anderson, AVP is pleasant if not perfect action horror film. Though the film suffers, it still has plenty of impressive things going for it to be a good enough film to watch on a rainy night. However this film doesn't try to do anything truly original or inventive with the concept that we are given in the film. In fact, a few scenes seemed kind of silly, but I guess it's acceptable for a film like this. A good enough action horror film, but it doesn't do justice to both franchises.

I never really enjoyed musicals to be honest. But The Rocky Horror Picture Show is just totally different that what I thought about musicals in the past. I've never really embraced musicals, and never will. But Rocky Horror is different. This is one amusing Musical that combines elements of horror, comedy and rock music to create one of the weirdest and funnest musicals in history. The film is terrific, and I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did. Tim Curry delivers a simply awesome performance as Frank N Furter and the music is great, and I'm a diehard metalhead.It's so clear as to why this film is one of the greatest Culy hits in the history of film, Rocky Horror is a definite must see film that can appeal to all sorts of demographics. This is not like Grease, which totally sucks, and I've never cared to see because the film looks too lame to watch, but Rocky Horror Picture Show is THE musical Horror Comedy to watch. This film puts all other musicals to shame. It's that simple. Like I've said, Rocky Horror is very weird, but thats what makes it a fun film to watch, the craziness of it all, the script, the songs, everything is so over the top that it just isn't boring.The characters are likeable and eccentric, and thats what makes this a unique viewing experience. Rocky Horror is the musical that every Horror fan needs to see. The film is flawless, fun, comical weird and thoroughly entertaining. If you haven't seen this one, definitely give it a look, you won't be disappointed. A flawless masterwork and The best musical, nothing since has been able to top this type of horror musical classic, and probably never will.

28 Days Later is a terrific zombie film from Great Britain. The whole scope of this film is beyond words. The post apocalyptic look of the film adds a great amount of tension and atmosphere to this film. Danny Boyle is an amazing director and has an awesome vision for what he wanted to accomplish with this film. The film is a flawless work of modern horror. 28 Days Later proves one thing, that people can still make great horror films without the stupid, mindless clichés. The film is truly a horrifying work of genius. As the decade comes to a close, I can say that 28 Days Later is of the best horror films of the decade and is also one of the most original. A masterful return of true horror. 28 Day Later is one of the scariest, best written Horror films to come out in recent memory. The sheer idea of a plague infesting the population of a country is quite terrifying and is really close to reality. The screenwriters deliver a strong script. What makes this film great is the visionary direction of director Danny Boyle. There has been a lot of debate regarding this film. Many Horror fans are devided if it's a zombie film or not. As far as I'm concerned it is a new breed of zombie. Like ever genre, the Zombie genre has evolved from the days of the George Romero zombies. However I view it as azombie flick, but not a straight up one at that. There are the usual zombie elements, but this is a totally new and refreshing take on the zombies that we've previously seen. I think viewers should decide for themselves if it is, I think it is, but it's not totally a zombie flick. The film branches into different directions. For me 28 Days Later brings the fun back into Horror, this is one badass film that brings back the traditional elements of Horror. Unlike other Horror films, which are fictional of course, 28 Days Later is a film that uses plagues, viruses and deseases as a means to create the background to the story, and we live in a time we're the threat of biological warfare is very real. Thats very frightening. 28 Days Later is a phenomenal film and is marveously acted out by actors who are virtual unknowns, except maybe for Brendan Gleeson who had a role in Mel Gibson's Braveheart, the others were just starting out. One of the most orihinal and terrifying Horror films, 28 Days Later is a phenomenal achievement in the Horror genre, and is one of the best films of it's kind.

This sequel is a rarity. It's a rarity because it's just as great as the first film, as I consider the first film to be one of the best of this decade, I had high hopes for this second film. It delivered and was just as great as the first one. The thing I like about these movies, is that you end up caring for the people portrayed on screen, unlike traditional Horror films where you don't care what happens to the characters, 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later is much different. This sequel is electrifying and keeps you in suspense and is really, much like the first one a terrifying and entertaining film. 28 Weeks Later is a rare example of a sequel that is just as strong the first film. One of the reasons why this film is so great is because of the cast. Robert Carlyle gives a great performance and so does Jeremy Renner. 28 Weeks Later is an incredible sequel. I think the reason that this film succeeded so well was because Danny Boyle was still involved in the project. Even if the film is at times predictable, there are still plenty of scary moments and the film is just as tense as the first one. Another reason why this film is great is because of the strong script written by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. The concept of this film is about the extermination of the rage virus. How the military were able to overcome it. The idea was very interesting, and the film does leave room for a third entry, which one day I hope will happen. 28 Weeks Later and 28 Days Later have put the Briuts on the map in the world of Horror. These two films are some of the best examples of original horror to come out in a long time. I a time where Hollywood seems all too concerned with remaking classics, it's good to see a film like 28 Weeks Later pop up. Both films of this series are a refreshing new take on a dying genre. These films make Horror films fun again. If you enjoyed 28 Days Later, then you'll enjoy this incredible top notch sequel, this film is just as strong as the first one.

Joy Ride is a good little horror film. Though not very original, the film has great tense moments and terrifying, sequences that will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat. Considering that Paul Walker played in this film (I hate the actor) I thought he was very good in this film, not excellent, but good. But for me, the performance that made this film was Ted Levine, though he only provided the voice of Rusty Nail, but as far as the characters are concerned, Steve Zahn is the best, he brings a comical twist to the film, and he's a better actor than Paul Walker. Joy Ride as the title of the film suggests is definitely a joy ride to watch. In almost the same style as Steven Spielberg's Duel, this film brings back Rage in road rage. A blast to watch. Joy Ride can be seen as an updated version of Steven Spielberg's Duel. Truly intense and well written, Joy Ride is a superbly crafted Horror film. I can easily compare this film to a roller coaster ride. Every thrilling scene is outdone by the next, and Rusty Nail's cat and mouse game gets more dangerous at every turn. What makes Joy Ride so terrifying is the fact that the horror presented here is fairly realistic and the characters are thrown in ever day situations. Not saying that this could happen, but there are definitely a few nut cases out there. It's the same reason as why Spielberg's Duel worked so well, it was a realistic situation. Which is something that we have here in Joy Ride. A joyous ride into terror.

Considering that this is a direct to DVD film to the awesome Joy Ride, the filmmakers managed to pull something off that worked quite well on screen. The film though flawed makes up for it in some genuinely tense moments of terror. When a group of teens go cross country, they come across a seemingly abandoned house after their car breaks down and take a car found in the houses barn. Bad idea because now Rusty Nail lives there and he comes back to his place to discover that his ride missing. Now he's in hot pursuit, and plays an even more deadly game than in the first Joy Ride. Joy Ride: Dead Ahead is a very well crafted direct to DVD film, and it's a far superior film that the usual films released in such a manner. The cast here are a talented bunch, they won't win any Oscars, but they definitely do a fine job at this second entry. Though the film flawed, like I've previously said, Joy Ride:Dead Ahead has lots of tension and scares going for it. The actor playing Rusty Nail is fairly good, and we see a bit more of him. Also the film is more gory than the first, so it has a that going for it. The cat and mouse game is terrific and you're constantly on the edge of your seat on wondering what will happen next. A fine sequel that will probably appeal to fans of the first Joy Ride, I went in with low expectations and was fairly surprised by the overall film. Very well done, and very entertaining. Rusty Nail's cat and mouse game is even more deadly this time around and delivers good thrills. Not perfect, but not terrible. This is one direct To DVD film that was done right.

This movie surrounds a lone driver being terrorized by a psychotic trucker. Speilberg's directing is great and his refusal to show the trucker adds to the suspense. Only the truckers boots and his hand can be briefly seen. The music is quit unconventional and is very effective in adding suspense. The way Spielberg builds his suspense in this film showcases his flourishing talents as a director at that time, as he was just getting started.
Duel is a fine achievement in the Horror/thriller genre.
This is a film not to be missed by any suspense and horror fans alike.

The Car is a pretty good Horror film involving a possessed car terrorizing a small town. This film came a few years after Steven Spielberg's similar Horror thriller, Duel. Duel has been credited of influencing the genre of killer of vehicles. The Car is one of many of these types of films. I enjoyed this film because it had a great deal of suspense and terror. The acting is pretty good considering this type of film. This film has many good things going for it despite the fact that it's not too original. The Car is always on the prowl to terrorize and kill unsuspecting pedestrians. One of the high points of the film is the car's horn, the sound it makes is very memorable and one of the best things about the film. I don't know why I love this film, but I do. I guess I have a soft spot for these types of films and they have a certain appeal to them that makes them worth watching. Even if it's a simple formula of a possessed evil car killing people, it's pretty entertaining to watch. The Car's influence is as I've said Spielberg's Duel, and with that in mind, this film along with Duel probably influenced Stephen King into writing Christine, another killing car story. Every film of this nature follows basically the same thing, but each one are very fun and thrilling to watch. The Car may not be too original, but for fans of Duel, Jaws, Christine \ and The Hearse, you may be well entertained with this possessed four wheeled killing machine. I know I was and I consider The Car a horror classic.

David Cronenberg is the master of Bizarre cinema. He's Canada's answer to David Lynch. Many of his 80's films deal with the body horror genre. Videodrome is one the director's most sinister works. Like with every other Cronenberg film of this period, The film dwells on Cronenbergs favorite subject. The special fx here are incredible and Rick Baker's fx are one of the best aspects of Videodrome. This is one of Cronenberg's most inventive films and he delivers something astounding. Videodrome is a nightmare, it's strange, it's whatever word you need to use to describe it. If you want one of David Croneberg's most solid films. Then give this one a viewing.
Videodrome is in my opinion one of Cronenberg's greatest Achievements as a director. The film is the type of film that shatters your nerves and twists your imagination in every ways you can imagine. The film is haunting, chilling and downright disturbing. Videodrome has everything you'd expect from a David Cronenberg film. The film surrounds a local television station owner, who specializes in providing a sleazy viewing experience then stumbles on Videodrome, a channel that shows graphic torture and mutilation. It's not long after that, that Max Renn starts to hallucinate as Videodrome controls his mind. Videodrome is a solid Horror Sci Fi film, and is everything you'd hope from Cronenberg. Videodrome is a great film that showcases David Cronenberg's directing abilities to a whole new level of deranged genius. Also this film has some awesome special effects work done by Rick Baker and James Woods is excellent as sleazy TV Station owner Max Renn. Long live the new flesh indeed.

An American Werewolf In London is one of the greatest werewolf films in cinematic history. The film is one of the best in horror, and director John Landis directs this blazing Horror film with a knowledge of what makes a horror film truly memorable. His directing is superb, his script is terrific and his cast is amazing. The film has some terrific special effects and at the time was a landmark film in special effects design. An American Werewolf In London is a superbly crafted horror film with a truly terrifying moments as the werewolf stalks the streets of London. This film is definitely a true classic and is a fine example of one of the greatest horror films ever made. John Landis who also directed the Michael Jackson video Thriller is a terrific director and he makes this film soar and the story he conveys on screen is absolutely terrifying and superb.

John Carpenter has proved once again that he's a master in the horror genre. The Thing is a remake of the 1951 film, and Carpenter reinvents this thrilling and horrific tale of horror. The film boasts a strong cast and a strong story. As far as horror films are concerned, The Thing is one of the best Horror films of the 1980's and is also one of terrifying. John Carpenter crafts a film so terrifying, so dark, so evil with The Thing that it remains one of the most terrifying films in horror history. Special Effects man Rob Bottin does a phenomenal job and creating grisly gory special effects that's a high light of the film. The film has a tense and terrifying feel of helplessness as the characters are stuck in an Antarctic research facility. The Thing is one of Carpenter's strongest films since Halloween. Ever character start t to to lose their sanity as The Thing slowly takes over each one of them. Paranoia becomes a plague among the small group of researchers as they start to lose faith of whos human or Alien. Just the fact that you can't see the Alien threat adds to a whole new level of terrifying suspense. When they discover the Alien threat, it's even more horrific as each member of the research facility becomes a target and the next hiding place for The Thing. The Thing is a take no prisoners horror film, and with the mind blowing special effects by Rob Bottin, it only adds to it's terrifying legacy. A solid horror film and one of the greatest ever made.

Tremors is an awesome Horror comedy. The film pays homage to the monster films that were so popular in the 50's. Tremors offers good dose comedy mixed with horror and action. The film is one of the few films that blends comedy and horror effectively well. The cast is phenomenal and enjoyable. Michael Gross gives a great performance as Burt Gumner and Fred Willard and Kevin Bacon deliver as well. But really the best role belongs to Michael gross and Reba Mcintire They make the film what it is. Tremors will definitely appeal to fans of Godzilla and other classic monster Flicks. This is a must see film that is sure to satisfy any fan of a good Horror comedy.

Tremors II: Aftershock build on the previous film, and this time the grabboids have invaded an area of Mexico, Earl and Burt are hired to exterminate them. This film has a more ambitious storyline than the first one because there is a lot more action going on, and obviously Burt's involved and there's more firepower involved. Tremors 2 is a fine little film that continues to built on the success of the first, but it won't top the original. Tremors II offers everything you'd expect from a Tremors film, Comedy, Guns, monsters and thrills. This series is one of the best Horror Comedy series out there and these movies are to please fans of both genres

Even though this is the weakest entry in the series, It's still in it's on way, a decent film. However It seemed that by this point, the Film makers ran out of ideas, and tried to hard to make an new idea work. I found myself not liking this film as much as the first 2. When I finished watching the film, I had mixed feelings about it. I thought they could have done a better job. Michael Gross was in a lack of a better word, Irritating by this point in the series, I sometimes cringed when he would say something on screen. If your looking for the weakest Link in the food chain, this film is it. But for all it's flaws, Tremors 3: Back To perfection is decent enough for the viewer to be entertained.

This film is very underrated. It was a pleasant film to watch, and is sure to appeal to every Tremors fan who've watched the first three. I think that this film is better than the weaker Back To Perfection. I think the reason that this film succeeds so much is because it returns to the witty, more comical elements than the first two, instead of the irritating elements of the third. I just the concept of a Tremors film in old west, the only thing missing would be Henry Fonda and Clint Eastwood in the film to make it more awesome. The film is a nonstop laugh fest with Horror and Thrills all rolled in to one. The cast is also a very good one, and they give splendid performances, The Legend Begins, is a great way to end this fun little series.

Jaws was in parts, Steven Spielberg's entrance in big budget movies, and he became a household name after this terrifying Horror/Thriller. Spielberg had already made two other films the famous Horror Suspense film Duel and the Sugarland Express. But with Jaws Spielberg was now a household name, Jaws was the Summer Blockbuster of 1975. This film has everything you'd expect from a Spielberg film, great acting, great story and of course great directing. Jaws has stood the test of time, and remains one great Horror thriller after all these years. It has made generations afraid to to go swimming off the beach. The cast is great in the film, Robert Shaw offers the best performance in my opinion in the film as Quint, the shark hunter hired to kill the great white Shark that terrorizes Amity Island. Roy Scheider is also great and so is Richard Dreyfus. Overall this is a film that really emphasizes on Spielbewrg's directing talents, and still after all the years, it still has the power to terrify us, now hows that for a movie?

Wes Craven uses the Nightmare On Elm Street formula, and obtains average results. Shocker is not the best horror film, but it's definitely not the worst either. This film does have some high points. Mitch Pileggi gives a very good performance as Horace Pinker, and he's very amusing to watch on screen. Shocker is a film that shouldn't be taken too seriously, as the mode on screen feels quite silly at times, but it's what makes it fun in the first place. Not Wes Craven's best film, but definitely not his worst, Shocker is a very good film to watch if you want to waste a good two hours. Just don't go expecting excellent. An underrated film for sure, Shocker does have a lot to offer the viewer and despite all it's flaws, it's simply a silly horror film with ideas left over from the Nightmare On Elm Street franchise. Another thing that makes this film good is the rocking heavy metal soundtrack, Shocker the film may be average but the soundtrack is great.

Dead Silence which was directed by James Wan, one of the two other Saw creators, writes and directs this film, which is not a remake. In the years since the year 2000, it seems that only studios want to re imagine classics and butcher those titles and sell them to dimwitted teens that think that remakes are the real deal in horror, it's not. Original films will pop up here and there, and in 2007 we were given Dead Silence. Dead Silence is one scary film with a strong story line. It does indeed scare you when you least expects it, and you may not looks at Dummies the same way again. Of all the Horror films that came out in this decade, Dead Silence is one of the few that really does satisfy, but if you're the type of Horror fan that likes dumb teenager films like I know what you did last summer rather than original well crafted films like this one, skip it. This film is not for that crowd. Overall a solid film in the horror genre and quite original.

The Funhouse is a terrifying gem of the horror genre. A film with loads of atmosphere and odd characters, this is one terrificpiece of early 8o's horror. Aside From The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, this is the best film by Tobe Hooper. Elizabeth Berridge gives a fine debut performance as Amy, and Berridge would later land the role of Constance Mozart in Amadeus. A very talented actress, she pulls off something terrifyingly convincing here. Another unique performance is Kevin Conway as the Funhouse Barker, the villain of the film. Conway is simply diabolical and adds a lot of flavor to the film with his performance. Sure theres nothing really happening for at least the first 45 minutes of the film, but with a film like this, Hooper doesn't want to jump into the terror just yet. He wants us to connect with the characters, and when something happens to them, you feel something. The first 45 minutes was designed to establish a character relationship with the audience. Tobe Hooper manages to do something well here, and The Funhouse is a cleverly crafted horror film with tons of scares. When the terror starts, it starts. The Funhouse is awesome horror film that delivers top notch entertainment and scares The Funhouse is a very underrated film in my opinion. I personally feel that this is one of Tobe Hooper's best films after The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The thing that I really like the most about the film is that the setting is set in the Carnival. A very spooky, and chilling atmosphere. The acting is decent, some may fine the film too slow and the pacing not up to their standards. But The Funhouse is what I'd consider a semi classic film, in the sense that this is a film that take time to effectively build the tension and horror thats to come. The Funhouse is definitely a fun ride into terror, and is not a film to be missed. Recently, Tobe Hooper has lost more than his touch in the horror game. He no longer makes quality horror films, and falls short on many occasions. At least we have such a classic like The Funhouse, a film that doesn't attack the viewer with straight forward terror. The film steadily builds up it's characters and tension to get an effective reaction out of the audience. The Funhouse is definitely an underrated classic of the Horror genre, and is one of the finest films that Tobe Hooper has directed.

For me Doom is a pretty decent Horror/action film. The film is of course based on the video game of the same name and does a fairly decent job at keeping the essence of the game.However there are many flaws with the film. I will mention only one that bugged me, the acting. Obviously for a video game adaptation, you know the acting will be a letdown, but in the case of Doom, it feels that the acting and dialogue are forced and not delivered properly, even by video game to screen standards. For example, Silent Hill featured some terrific acting and horror. But Doom relies on it's actors (which suck, I mean The Rock isn't exactly a class actor, decent but not the best) Anyhow, enough bickering about the acting. Doom is a tense, scary film with loads of action, gore and plenty of plot elements from the original game. Including a scene where they made it look like a first person shooter, a pretty cool scene. never truly was into the video game itself, but I've played it before, and I have say, the film does keep the core aspects of the game. Despite the fact that it lacks solid acting, the cast do a good job nonetheless, but like I've said before, the acting is far from good. It's decent at best. Doom is still a fun, thrilling film with tons of action. But the diehard Doom fans will probably not be pleased with this film adaptation, because of course the filmmakers take elements from the game, and try to create something for the screen. If they leave something out, which they usually do, the film will not appeal. I'm not a Doom player, so I wouldn't know. I'm more of a Call Of Duty player. Horror fans will probably be pleased with this film, but Doom fans won't. A fairly decent action horror film with lots of gore. Good for a viewing with friends.

Dawn Of The Dead has got to be the best horror remake ever. Zack Snyder has done a fine job of refurbishing George A. Romero's classic film. The result is a film that is well executed with plenty of scares, gore and good acting. Now like every seasoned horror fan, I absolutely love George A. Romero, I see the original Dawn Of The Dead as one of my personal favorites of his, and course view it as a horror classic. Zack Snyder delivers a new intriguing twist on Romero's classic film, and he crafts the strongest remake since Cronenberg's The Fly. A work of incredible horrifying filmmaking makes this remake a film to be seen by hardened horror fans. A very well done film thats action packed, thrilling and scary, Seeps the basic elements of Romero's classic, but gives it a bloodier upgrade. The result is truly impressive. Dawn Of The Dead is gross, gory and scar, exactly what a remake of this stature needs. The film possesses traits that many of today's remakes don't possess. I love zombie films, and this is the best zombie film since Shaun Of The Dead and 28 Days Later. Zack Snyder has crafted a fine horror remake that will be viewed in horror circles in the years to come as a classic. Not only that, but as a correct way as to how to successfully make a remake that doesn't suck. It's very rare that a remake is almost as good as the original, but in the case of Zack Snyder re invisioned film, he delivers a film thats almost just as good as the original, and he manages to create with this remake something different in the process. Dawn Of The Dead is one of the few horror remakes that does justice to the original, and in time it will be seen as a horror classic. Good gory fun and worth watching. A near flawless remake.

Romero's second Zombie offering, Dawn Of The Dead is a definitive classic. This time, the action takes place in a shopping mall where a small band of survivors are under siege by an army of the undead. Romero's 2nd attempt at the Zombie pays off in spades, from the well crafted characters to the awesome gore, Dawn Of The Dead is a masterful film to embrace. Tom Savini created some awesome effects for this film, and also has a small part in the film. Actor Ken Foree does a great job as Peter. Dawn Of The Dead is a solid follow up to Night and definitely will please fans of the first. The Ultimate Edition contains three versions, U.S theatrical, European Cut, and Director's Cut. All Cuts of the film are awesome, and should please any Horror fan.

The Skeleton Key is a superb film with a terrific story. Having low expectations before watching this film, I thought I would be disappointed once the film would be over. To my surprise, it was a disappointment at all. Though not flawless, the film is better than most horror films released nowadays, and in the end it is one of the better horror films of this decade. Considering that most Hollywood studios want to remake classic horror films, The Skeleton Key offers a breath of fresh air for fans who seek decent horror. Personally I thought it was a superb film simply because of the solid story. Kate Hudson delivers her second best performance of her career, the first being Almost Famous. The Skeleton Key is a creepy film, but overall it's a fresh new take on a tired out genre where remakes dominate cinemas. Skeleton Key is the type of film that you either love it or hate it. I loved it and I thought it was an original horror film long overdue.

Psycho is one of the greatest classics of the horror genre, who can forget Norman Bates? Really once you've seen this nerve shattering film you'll never forget it. Many directors in the horror genre have attributed Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho as the first Slasher film ever made. There is nothing but truth in that statement because this was filmed in 1960 and this was 14 years before the release of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Black Christmas. Psycho is everything you'd expect from an Alfred Hitchcock film, he effectively knows how to build effective scares and tension time and time again and this film proves. Psycho is one of the greatest, most tense, nerve racking films I have ever seen. This film could've only been made by a talented horror suspense genius such as Alfred Hitchcock, in his capable hands he creates a film that has stood the test of time and continues to scare audiences nearly 50 years after it's initial release. Superbly crafted horror at it's very best.

American Psycho is truly a deranged, terrifying film. It's a film that examines the life of a serial killer. In this case, we are introduced to a yuppie named Patrick Bateman, a seemingly ordinary person who loves to murder women. Christian Bale brings Bateman to life effectively well, and his portrayal is really terrifying and truly disturbing. Based on the controversial book of the same name, the book is said to have inspired Canadian Serial Killer Paul Bernardo in killing three women. An unforgiving look inside Bateman mind, American Psycho is really an in your face type of film as it does not shy away from showing you his perfect little yuppie life. No the film shows how Patrick Bateman really is, a monster and a maniac. A truly unique Horror film, American Psycho is a film that belongs on the very short list of terrifying serial killer films. Having read the book, There's a lot of material that was cut out from the book for this adaptation. As a reader of the book, I can say that Mary Harron kept the key ideas from Ellis's book and has made a very good adaptation of a controversial work. The film has some black comedy overtones which can really disturb the viewer. Christian Bale is perfect in the role, and he makes the role of Patrick \Bateman his own. I enjoyed the film, and I thought it was a fi8ne blend of psychological horror, drama and dark comedy. A must see if you want a terrific psychological horror film.

Red Dragon is a remake of sorts to the 1986 film, Manhunter. This film follows even more closely the story of the book, and to be honest it's a great and very well done adaptations. The film is tense, suspenseful, thrilling and scary. Every element that you're looking for in a Hannibal Lector film is here. Whats most surprising to me is that this film was directed by Brett Rattner the director responsible for those Dreadful Rush Hour films and X-Men:The Last Stand, what crap those film were. Well Rattner does a great job in this film, it's to date his best and only good film. The cast of the film is phenomenal and the return of Anthony Hopkins yet again makes this a terrific Horror Thriller. Red Dragon is a well made, well adapted film thats just as good as the novel. Brett Rattner really shines directing this film, enjoy his adaptation of Red Dragon, because it's rare he does anything good.

I am a big fan of the film Red Dragon, I thought it was a great adaptation of an amazing book. But Manhunter is an even more intense film and is very much darker than Red Dragon. The film has a certain tone to it that makes you feel very, very uneasy. The atmosphere is dark, surreal and nightmarish. Michael Mann (Heat, Collateral, Public Enemies) directs this film and his vision offers something special to this film. Manhunter is a very intense, shocking and thrilling film. It's the type of film that will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat. A great cast compliments this strong film and make the film what it is. A darker more intense film than Red Dragon, Manhunter is one of a kind with intriguing twists and turns into madness, violence and death. Manhunter is the beginning of one of the most infamous villains in cinematic history. A suspense filled Horror Thriller, Manhunter is a unique viewing experience and is one of Michael Mann's best films.

Silence Of The Lambs is without a doubt one of the best Horror/thriller films ever made. The film features the beginning of Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lector, and he deliver such a strong performance that it's now remembered as one of the best in cinematic history. Hopkins gives the character the attitude, wit and style which make Hannibal Lector who he is. Ted Levine is superb as Buffalo Bill, the serial killer who Clarice starling who is played by Jodie Foster tries to stop. This film is a tense ride into madness, is filled with suspense scares and thrills. This film won't disappoint fans of Horror and thriller, a solid film from start to finish this film will definitely keep you entertained till the credits roll. One of the best, most accomplished Horror/Thriller films ever made. Get the Chianti ready, relax and watch Silence Of The Lambs and be blown away at its sheer power to scare and thrill you.

Hannibal is a different film than Silence Of The Lambs. It definitely lacks the bite in what made Silence such a thrill ride, but this film is still good in its own way. The absence of Jodie Foster brings the film down a notch, but Julianne Moore proves a capable replacement for the part. This film features a billionaire wanting to exact revenge on Lector. The film is less thrilling than Silence Of The Lambs, but it's still a pretty good film to watch and does have good scares and thrills, but it's nothing compared to its predecessor. Hannibal is directed by Ridley Scott and he brings Thomas Harri's novel to life and his directing is phenomenal for this film as it is still a terrific film to watch with an awesome climax.
