  • Winter Passing 2005

    ★★½ Watched 30 Jun, 2012

    Will Ferrel gives a nice performance that is more serious and subdued than most of his films and he provides some good laughs. He makes this mostly watchable. Ed Harris gives a really strong performance. Zooey Deschanel is pretty good too but her lead character isn't really interesting. In fact, the biggest problem is that none of these characters are interesting and I'm never given a reason to care about any of these bland characters. The plot itself isn't very…

  • Warlock 1991

    ★★★½ Watched 30 Jun, 2012 3

    You get fantastic performances from Julian Sands and Richard E. Grant though the rest of the cast is pretty terrible. The dialogue is a little cheesy, but this is a pretty fun movie. The effects look pretty cool, the writing is tightly paced, and you have a great villain. Thrilling and fun.

  • Seed of Chucky 2004

    Added

    This tries too hard to be a clever Hollywood satire and ends up being tired and annoying. There's a lot of references and homages to other horror classics but it made me wish I was watching those classics instead of this shit. It's not funny or scary. The plot is filled with holes and is convuluted. By the way, Chucky's "Seed" is annoying as shit. The only thing this is worth for is a cool cameo from John Waters which resulted in a cool death scene. Aside from that, Shit of Chucky is just shit.

  • Bride of Chucky 1998

    ★★½ Added

    It has it's moments, but my biggest problem with this is the problem I've had with this and Seed of Chucky: Chucky's new look. What made him so creepy in the previous films was that he looked like an innocent doll. You would'nt expect him to be the quipping, scary, cursing demon he was revealed to be. Here, he does'nt look innocent; just scary as shit. Just looking at it makes you suspicious. Other problems is that it tries to…

  • Child's Play 3 1991

    ★★ Added

    This has it's moments, but it's not as fun, funny, or creepy as previous films and mostly relies on the quips of Chucky.

  • Child's Play 2 1990

    ★★★½ Added

    Chucky is less creepy this time around and is mostly played for laughs, which makes sense. There no way he could be as creepy as he was in the first film. This is still a realy fun film and Chucky is fun to watch.

    Karen: I said talk to me, damn it or else I'll throw you in the fire!
    [Chucky comes alive]
    Chucky: You stupid bitch! You filthy slut! I'll teach you to fuck with me!

    No matter how many times I see this, that always makes me go "HOLY SHIT!"

  • The Last House on the Left 2009

    ★★★½ Added 3

    Well they finally got the tone right this time.

    That alone makes this a superior remake.

    Problem is it's just hard as hell to watch. Sure, it's effective, well acted and directed and even scary, but I don't think I could stomach a repeat viewing.

  • Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday 1993

    ½ Added

    Jason's name is in the title.

    He's in it for about 7 minutes.

    It's called The Final Friday.

    There have been 3 more since.

    It teases a confrontation between Freddy vs Jason (it's the only reason this shitfest is worth a watch)

    That doesn't happen for another 10 years.

    Fuck this movie.

    An arrow piercing through Kevin Bacon's neck=Coolest Practical Effect I can remember seeing

  • Jason X 2001

    My favorite Friday. The most fun, the most ridiculous, the most over the top, and in my opinion, the very best.

  • Ronin 1998

    ★★★★ Watched 30 Jun, 2012 2

    You get excellent performances from the likes of Robert De Niro and Jean Reno. The action sequences are exciting, especially the car chases which are outstanding. The story is interesting, albeit a little uneven. With that said, John Frankenheimer still manages to craft a fascinating and highly entertaining thrill ride.
