Point Break (1991)

It's a classic movie starring one of the all time greats in the late Patrick Swayze (Road House) as a surfing, bank robber who dresses as a President.

Beerfest (2006)

What more can I say about Broken Lizard other than where is Potfest?

Black Christmas (1974)

Before Halloween, there was Black Christmas starring one of the most beautiful actresses in the world (Romeo & Juliet's Olivia Hussey) in this horror film about a crazy guy that breaks into a sorority house and tries to kill every girl in it.

Forrest Gump (1994)

This is the movie annoying people became obsessed with because of the famous lines that came from this movie. It stars Tom Hanks (Philadelphia) as Forrest Gump, a guy that is just really stupid, but he has a heart of gold. Forrest goes through tons of experiences in his life from playing college football, to opening the door for a African American girl when they segregated schools, to fighting in Vietnam, to running a shrimping boat with Lt. Dan (Gary Sinise), and finally getting to marry the one girl who had escaped him for years, the world famous Jenny (Robin Wright Penn). It's a very touching movie and the story is told by Forrest as he is waiting for a bus to go see Jenny. He tells the story of his Momma (Sally Field), Bubba (Mykelti Williamson), and everyone else in between to some strangers on a bench. The funny thing about this movie is that Forrest some how is involved or near every major event that happens in US history and while on his long run is responsible for the world famous Smiley face, the shit happens slogan, and may other things. The nice part is that the movie teaches you to be yourself and not to care what other people say about you. The movie also stars Margo Moorer (ATL) as Forrest's mother's housekeeper, Peter Dobson (Poolhall Junkies) as Elvis, and Haley Joel Osment (Artificial Intelligence: A.I.) as Forrest Gump Jr. Hey, even the man's man Kurt Russell (Escape From New York) gets to play Elvis's voice in this one and according to this Forrest taught Elvis all his moves. I give this movie an A+ because it is an all time classic film and reassures Tom Hank's status as Hollywood gold

Romeo & Juliet (1968)

This isn't the Leonardo DiCaprio version, but the critically acclaimed Franco Zeffirelli (Jesus Of Nazareth) version where Franco took a chance on two virtual unknowns to play Romeo and Juliet in this classic Shakespeare tale of star crossed lovers. Once considered and I still believe is one of the most beautiful women in the world Olivia Hussey (Black Christmas) tackles the role of Juliet, the daughter of a Capulet, a sworn enemy to the Montague's who falls in love with their son Romeo played by Leonard Whiting (Frankenstein: The True Story). Their relationship is doomed from the start as these two families can not get along. To make matters worse, after they became married Romeo kills Tybalt (Played by basil of Austin Powers, Michael York) who before this had killed Romeo's best friend Mercutio (John McEnery). Knowing that Romeo is now a fugitive, Juliet is worried and her father is making her marry someone she doesn't love so she goes to Friar Laurence (Milo O'Shea) and begs him to fix it. He comes up with a master plan, but it doesn't matter because the message doesn't get to Romeo in time and he thinks she's dead. Now comes the famous scene that everyone knows happens at the end of this story and if you don't know then shame on you. This was truly a beautiful movie and Zeffirelli's gamble paid off because Hussey and Whiting were absolutely terrific. No one can ever top that performance that gave in the movie so I am giving them an A for it.

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)

This was the first time we were introduced to the team of Quentin Tarantino (Inglorious Basterds) and Robert Rodriguez (Desperado) who would go on to collaborate on other films. While Tarantino only starred and wrote this movie, Rodriguez would direct this movie about a group of guys trapped in bar full of Vampires. Tarantino stars as Richard Gecko along with George Clooney (Oceans 11) as his brother in charge of things Seth Gecko. Together, they're running away to Mexico to meet a guy when the kidnap a former preacher played by Harvey Keitel (Reservoir Dogs) as Jacob and his kids Kate (Juliette Lewis) and Scott (Ernest Liu). Together, they all go to a bar and wait for their guy until it becomes dark out and the vampires try to feed on them. The only question to ask is can they all survive or will they end up becoming vampires themselves? The movie also stars Selma Hayek (Desperado) as a vampire dancer named Santanico Pandemonium, Tom Savani (Land Of The Dead) as Sex Machine, Fred Williamson (Hammer) as Frost, Cheech Marin (Cheech & Chong) as three different roles, Danny Trejo (The Devil's Rejects) as Razor Charlie, and a cameo by the very hot Kelly Preston. This was George Clooney's only bad ass role in his career and I give this movie an A cause I still enjoy it.

The House Bunny (2008)

I may be convinced that Anna Faris is the new female face of comedy and she has it all as far as beauty and talent are concerned. She stars as a Playboy bunny who runs away from Hef and the mansion and hooks up with some sorority girls. The only problem is that the girls aren't popular on the big campus and they face some trouble as they have to find 30 pledges to keep their house. So, Shelley (Faris) plans to make these girls over and make them popular on the campus despite some people not wanting them to like Ms. Hagstrom (Beverly D'Angelo). Together along with Shelley, Natalie (The beautiful Emma Stone), Mona (Kat Dennings), Lily (Kiely Williams), Harmony (Katharine McPhee), Carrie Mae (Dana Goodman), and Joanne (the daughter of Bruce Willis, Rumer Willis) make up the sorority girls who are about to discover that it's okay to be yourself. That is the whole theme of this movie is being yourself because Shelley deals with her own problems despite everyone thinking she's perfect. The movie also stars Colin Hanks (Orange County) as Oliver, Christopher McDonald (Happy Gilmore) as the dean, and Tyson Ritter (The All American Rejects) as Colby as well as Hugh Hefner and the girls next door. It's not the greatest movie , but it has a lot of hot chicks so I give it a B because even though it's a Happy Gilmore production it doesn't top Grandma's Boy.

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)

This is the movie that made Jim Carrey (A Christmas Carol) a household name and would forever introduce us to the wild man of comedy. He stars as wacky, eccentrically dressed Ace Ventura, a pet detective, who gets hired by Melissa Robinson (Courteney Cox) to find out who kidnapped the Miami Dolphins mascot. Ace gets on some hot trails and whacked out missions as he tries to figure out who did it as well as he tries to solves a murder that could be connected at the same time. The whole movie Ace gets no respect from police Lt. Louis Einhorn (Sean Young) as she thinks Ace is worthless and can only get in the way of the case. Ace discovers some troubling things as he figures out that the kicker that missed the field goal in the last Superbowl might be the person behind the kidnapping. But boy does Ace and everyone else get a surprise in the end! The movie also stars Dan Marino as himself, Troy Evans (The Black Dhalia) as Roger Prodactor, Tone Loc (Rapper) as Emilio, Udo Kier (Rob Zombies Halloween) as Ron Camp, and a cameo by death metal band Cannibal Corpse. I give this movie an A because it's a classic and a hell of a lot better and funnier than the sequel.

Stepfather II (1989)

I wanted to watch this before I rented The Stepfather because I've seen the original movie. This actually wasn't bad, but I did feel like it sort of dragged a little at the same time too. Jerry (Terry O'Quinn) escapes from prison and steals a man's identity and poses as a marriage counselor in a new town. He soon falls for his neighbor Carol (Meg Foster) and becomes close with her son Todd (The late Jonathan Brandis) who's having trouble coping with the fact that his father left his mom. Things are going great for Jerry (now known as Cliff) until Carol's friend Matty (Caroline Williams) starts suspecting that Cliff isn't who he says he is, but Carol is blinded by love as she continues on with her wedding to Cliff until she figures him out on her wedding day. Theirs not much action as far as a horror movie would be concerned, but the story is pretty good. The movie also stars Miriam Byrd-Nethery (Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III) as Sally Jenkins and John O'Leary (Julius Caesar) as blind man Sam. I give this movie a C.

Universal Soldier: Regeneration (2009)

I loved the first edition of this movie, didn't really care for the second, but I was a little excited for this one for the mere return of Dolph Lundgren (Universal Soldier) to possibly battle Jean Claude Van Damme (Bloodsport) who is a legend in action films to me. Basically, the movie is about this group that takes the Russian prime ministers kids hostage to free prisoners. They use a universal soldier (MMA star Andre Arlovski) to kidnap them. This alarms the US and they in return bring back their own, but they fail to defeat him. So, they only have one option left and that is bring back Luke (Van Damme) whose been trying to rehabilitate himself. Obviously Van Damme gets the job done and on the way Van Damme and Lundgren fight once again. The only thing is Van Damme looks old and it looks like he's trying to hang on to the genre much like Stallone. The movie also stars Garry Cooper (The Harvest) as Dr. Porter, John Foo (Tekken) as Unisol #2, and Zahary Baharov (War Inc.) as Commander Topov. I give this one a C because the action was great, but the dialogue and story were poor.

Airheads (1994)

This is still one of my favorite Adam Sandler (Mr. Deeds) movies and it takes place in a place I love and that's the Radio station. It's the story of Chaz (Brendan Fraser), a down and out wannabe rock star who just got kicked out of his apartment. So, he and his band mates the brothers Rex (Steve Buscemi) and Pip (Sandler) decide that their going to go into the local station and hold it up until they play the song. Three problems with that, 1) is the machine ends up eating their tape, 2) the cops are outside waiting to bust them, and 3) Chaz's pissed off girlfriend Kayla (Amy Locane) has the other copy. Everyone is patient while the negotiator (Ernie Hudson) trys to meet their demands and the band seems to grow on the DJ Ian (Joe Mantegna). It becomes absolute madness for the whole movie while the late Chris Farley (Tommy Boy) plays a cop trying to find Chaz's girlfriend for the tape. So things start to look up for the band known as "The Lone Rangers" when Jimmy Wing (Judd Nelson) a record executive looks to sign the band just based on the publicity and it's everything the band wanted until they say they want to do it there way and they tell him to screw. The movie also stars Michael McKean (This Is Spinal Tap) as the station GM Milo, Nina Siemaszko (Suicide Kings) as Suzy, Marshall Bell (Stand By Me) as Swat Man Carl Mace, a young pre-scream David Arquette (Scream) as one of the station workers, Kramer himself Michael Richards (Seinfeld) as Doug Beech, and cameos by Stuttering John himself Jon Melendez as the masturbating rocker, Harold Ramis (Ghostsbusters) as a informant, Mike Judge as the voices of Beavis and Butthead, and Rob Zombie and his former band White Zombie make a cameo appearance in the film. I give the movie a B+ for originality.

Stand By Me (1986)

This might be by far one of the greatest movies to ever come out of the 80's and the last 30 years. It's the story of lost innocence on a journey to find the body of a fellow 12 year old boy whose body was missing. It's a coming of age or as my professor liked to put it a rite of passage type of movie. It's where a character goes through this journey, the separation stage, the initiation stage, and the return. The separation would be the fact that Vern (Jerry O'Connell) comes and tells his friends Chris Chambers (The Late River Phoenix), Gordy Lachance (Wil Wheaton), and Teddy Duchamp (Corey Feldman) that if they wanted to see a dead body, he knew it's whereabouts from hearing his brother talk about it. So, they go on the journey to try and find the body. The initiation stage is the troubles that they face on their way to try and find the body. From Teddy trying to play chicken with the train and Chris pulling him away, to their ordeal with Milo Pressman (William Bronder) and his dog chopper, to trying to dodge the upcoming train, to the ordeal with the leaches, to actually finding the body and making sure Ace (Keifer Sutherland) didn't take it. The return stage is them coming home and feeling like the town had become smaller even though it didn't. The reason for that is the body changed their perception in how fragile life is. Anyone and everyone can relate to this story because this characters are so real to us. We all deep down inside knew a Gordy or a Teddy and why we did the things we did and when we were kids we all wanted to be adults so we did adult things. The movie also stars Casey Siemaszko (Public Enemies) as Vern's brother Billy, Bradley Gregg (Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade) as Chris's brother Eyeball, Marshall Bell (Twins) as Gordy's dad, Richard Dreyfuss (What About Bob?) as The writer, and a cameo by John Cusack (2012) as Gordy's dead brother Denny. I give this movie an A+

Marley & Me (2008)

This movie made me laugh and it made me cry at times. I absolutely loved this movie, but the end just depressed me. It stars Owen Wilson (Drillbit Taylor) and Jennifer Aniston (Love Happens) as a married couple that happen to be journalists as well. With some advice from a friend and colleague Sebastian (Eric Dane), to avoid the topic of kids, John (Wilson) buys Jennifer (Aniston) a puppy they eventually name Marley. Marley is one of the toughest dogs in the world, but no matter what he does that's bad, they love him unconditionally. So, John has always wanted to be a reporter, but finds himself being a columnist and with some inspiration from Marley becomes a hit in Florida. They eventually start their family and life moves John & Co. to Philly where he finally gets his reporter job and then the sadness starts from there as they notice drastic changes in Marley's behavior. One of my favorite scenes in the whole film is when John and Jen go on vacation to Ireland and leave Marley with the house sitter and Marley drives the poor girl absolutely nuts. The astonishing to me is that they use three different dogs to play Marley in the different stages of his life. The movie also stars Alan Arkin (Little Miss Sunshine) as John's boss, Kathleen Turner (The Virgin Suicides) as Ms. Kornblut the dog trainer, and Haley Bennett (The Haunting Of Molly Hartley) as Lisa. I recommend this movie to anyone that wants a great story of love, but if you want total fun from beginning to end, then rent another one. I give the movie an A.

Sid And Nancy (1986)

Like the description on IMDB.com, this is a morbid biographical movie about the Sex Pistols Bassist Sid Vicious (Gary Oldman) and his dangerous relationship with Nancy Spungen (Chloe Webb). It follows their dangerous paths with drugs and the lifestyle of being an infamous couple. The part of this story that always gets me is; Did Sid kill Nancy? It's a question we'll always ponder and assume that he was that messed up. This to me is a ugly movie, but it hits the nail on the head as to how ugly the lifestyle is. Gary Oldman (Batman Begins) does an excellent job in this film and I believe this was the first time America came into contact with this great actor. The movie also features my least favorite person in the whole world, that being the very troubled Courtney Love. Does life imitate art? This movie also has Xander Berkeley (Year One), British actor Perry Benson (Rough Cut), Sy Richardson (Surviving Christmas), and Biff Yeager (White Oleander). I give this movie an B+, which I could have given this an A-, but I'm not a big fan of The Sex Pistols or Courtney Love.

Meet The Parents (2000)

This was absolute comedic gold for Ben Stiller (There's Something About Mary) and Robert De Niro (Goodfellas) in this comedy about male nurse Gaylord "Greg" Focker (Stiller) who wants to propose to his girlfriend Pam (Teri Polo), but ends up finding out that her sister's fiance asked for her father's permission. So, Greg and Pam head out to visit her parents where Greg wants to make a good impression for Jack Byrnes (Deniro), a tough as nails former CIA agent who has problems with Greg throughout the whole film. So, will Greg get Jack's approval to marry Pam or will the weekend end up being a disaster for them all? There are a lot of great moments in this film that showed you that Stiller and De Niro were just as much a comedic team as was Billy Crystal and De Niro. The movie also stars Owen Wilson (Marley & Me), Blythe Danner (The Prince Of Tides) as Pam's mom, Jon Abrahams (Scary Movie) as Pam's brother, and the late Nicole DeHuff (See Arnold Run) as Pam's sister Debby. I give the movie an A

The Goonies (1985)

This is the classic Steven Spielberg film, which was written by Chris Columbus and was one of my favorite films when I was a child. You know it's a classic when you can still watch it as an adult. The movie stars Sean Astin (Rudy) as Mikey Walsh stars as a kid whose neighborhood is about to be turned into a golf course. Mikey as well as the others are attached to this neighborhood and call themselves The Goonies. The rest of the Goonies are Mouth (Corey Feldman), Data (Jonathan Ke Quan), Chunk (Jeff Cohen), Mikey's brother Brand (Josh Brolin), Annie (Kerri Green), and Stef (Martha Plimpton) round out the Goonies until Sloth (The Late John Matsuzak) becomes an official Goonie towards the end. So, it's the last weekend they'll be able to hang out together and they need to find a way to get money to keep the neighborhood intact and they can't think of anything until they find a treasure map in Mikey's attic that belonged to a pirate known as One Eyed Willy. So, they embark on the adventure and run into a lot of dangerous tasks like boobie traps and The Fratelli's (A criminal family who has Sloth locked up in a room) while trying to find One Eyed Willies treasure. Their are so many classic lines and moments in this film that I could sit here all day describing each one of my favorites. Do yourself a favor, if you haven't seen this then you have to pick it up. The movie also stars Robert Davi (Showgirls) as Jake Fratelli, Joe Pantoliano (US Marshals) as Francis Fratelli, the late Anne Ramsey (Throw Momma From The Train) as Mama Fratelli, Famed director Richard Donner (Superman II) as a policeman, and Steve Antin (SFW) as Troy Perkins. I love this film and therefore it gets an A+

Zombieland (2009)

This has to be the comedy of the year because it mixes some of my favorite elements in a movie which are: Zombies, cool trucks, a hot girl, and zombie ass kicking. The movie stars Jesse Eisenberg (Adventureland) as Columbus, a sort of weakling in the eyes of the fittest rule, that seems to survive based on these rules he made up. It's not until he bumps into Tallahassee (Woody Harellson) that the adventure starts to begin. Now the whole US is vacant of living people except for Columbus and Tallahassee. So, they think until they run into Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) who are sisters who are out for themselves. The four of them going on a journey that's a little more than a road trip as they kill Zombies and discover the meaning of family in a world where families don't exist. The best scenes of the movie to watch out for is the small cameo from the legend Bill Murray and the amusement park scene. Tons of action loaded into that scene. Like I said this movie has it all from great special effects to comedy and lots of Zombie killing action. I can't wait for the sequel so I give this movie an A+

The Count Of Monte Cristo (2002)

I thoroughly enjoyed this remake of the original movie which was based on a Alexandre Dumas book of the same name. This one stars James Caviezel as Edmond Dantes, a french soldier in the aftermath of France post Napoleon era that gets framed and sent to prison by his jealous friend. He eventually escapes prison after he received training in books of literature, aritmetic, etc. and sword fighting knowledge by his fellow prisoner Abbe (Richard Harris). He eventually finds some hidden treasure with a little help from Jacapo (Luis Guzman) and becomes the Count Of Monte Cristo to seek revenge against those back stabbing friends including Fernand (Guy Pearce). I thought this was an excellent adventure movie in the same vein as the Three Musketeers. I love the themes in this movie especially like the betrayal, revenge, and of course all the cool sword fighting. This really shows the true heart of a man after he's lost everything except he keeps his will to live to fight another day. I give this movie an A.

The Man Who Laughs (1928)

The Man Who Laughs is a classic silent movie from 1928 from director Paul Leni that stars Conrad Veidt (Casablanca), who plays Gwynplaine, a boy who is the heir to a throne that was sold off to Gypsy's and his father was killed by King James II. The only problem for young Gwyneplaine is that they surgically carved a permanent smile into his face. Gwyneplaine eventually stumbles upon a baby that is still alive but her mother is frozen to death and he saves her. The both of them eventually make it to Ursus (Cesare Gravina) the philosopher, who makes Gwyneplaine a circus draw along with his beloved blind Dea (Mary Philbin), the little baby he save that is all grown up. Gwyneplaine couldn't imagine her wanting to marry him because of the smile and eventually is found out by the Queen to still be alive.

The Dark Knight (2008)

The Dark Knight is a classic movie starring the late Heath Ledger (Brokeback Mountain) as the Joker and the return of Christian Bale (Batman Begins) as Batman in this sequel to Batman Begins. This time around The Joker is heating things up in Gotham City when the Mob has gone scared of Batman and Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) as they have locked up and Indited the whole mob. So now with the Joker on the loose in Gotham promising to kill someone everyday until Batman reveals his own identity, nobody is essentially safe and that sends Batman into panic mode. Along with Alfred (Michael Caine), Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), Gordon (Gary Oldman) and Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal), they all try to figure out his every move. We eventually see Harvey become "Two Face" in the movie after a explosion leaves him without half his face and Rachel dead. We see what Batman had been calling him for days, Gothams White Knight, turn into an evil hellbent and disillusioned man wanting revenge for what happened to Rachel. Their is so much action that is packed into this movie and you can't forget Heath's performance that redefined the role of The Joker so that nobody could top it ever. Heath earned a posthumous Oscar for best supporting actor for his role as The Joker and a well deserved award for him. The movie also stars Eric Roberts (Best Of The Best), Cillian Murphy (Red Eye) returns as The Scarecrow, Chin Han (2012) as Lao, Anthony Michael Hall (Weird Science) as TV man Mike Engel, Michael Jai White (Tyson) as Gambol, and a cameo by William Fichtner (Blades Of Glory) as the bank manager. Do not miss an opportunity to see Heath's terrific performance because it's unforgettable and all the action and drama. This movie gets an A+

Rock Star (2001)

This movie is loosely based on the true story Of Tim "Ripper" Owens, the kid that after playing in a Judas Priest cover band got the chance of a lifetime and replaced their original lead singer. So, Mark Wahlberg (The Departed) stars as Chris Cole (Basically Owens), a kid who is obsessed with a rock band Called Steel Dragon. He himself is in a cover band called Blood Pollution (A Steel Dragon song) and soon finds himself out when his obsession with playing the songs the way they were meant to be played gets him kicked out of the band. He gets a chance phone call from Steel Dragons leader and guitarist Kirk Cuddy (Dominic West) and gets invited to tryout for the leader singer position vacated by their original singer Bobby Beers (Jason Flemyng). Chris gets the job and it's fun and surreal at first, but then it ends up not being all that it cracked up to be for him. The movie features a mega soundtrack and a mega cast of musicians as well like Zakk Wylde (Ozzy Osbourne/Black Label Society) as Steel Dragon Guitarist Ghode, Jeff Pilson (Ex-Dokken, Foreigner) as Bassist Jorgen, The son of legendary Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham is Jason Bonham (Bonham) as drummer A.C., Blas Elias (Slaughter) as Blood Pollution drummer Donny Johnson, Nick Catanese (Black Label Society) as Blood Pollution guitarist Xander Cummins, Brian Vander Ark (Verve Pipe) as Blood Pollution's Bassist Ricki Bell, Stephan Jenkins (Third Eye Blind) as the singer to a rival band, Bradley, and Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge) as Thor. The movie also features real life rock photographer Neil Zlozower, The very sexy Rachel Hunter, Heidi Mark, Carrie Stevens, and Amy Miller as the Steel Dragon Wives, Jennifer Aniston (Love Happens) as Chris's manager and girlfriend, Timothy Spall (Appaloosa) as the sleazy Steel Dragon road manager, Dagmara Dominczyk (Running With Scissors) as their publicist, and Timothy Olyphant (Hit Man) as Chris friend and former Blood Pollution band mate Rob. I love this movie because I'm a big fan of 80's metal and the whole fantasy of singing with your favorite band always keeps me glued to watch this and dream at the same time. I give this movie an A

New Format

There is going to be a new format to how I grade movies and I started with Blood Creek. I'm going to be giving letter grades instead of stars. I can sort of do more with the letter grades than the stars.

Whiteout (2009)

First, I have to say is who in their right mind would live in Antarctica? Kate Beckinsale stars in this suspense thriller about the first murders in Antarctic history. She plays US Marshall Carrie Stetko, a woman who is having trouble letting go of the past and it ends up bringing her to a base in Antarctica where she is about discover some bodies and almost no clue as to who the killer is. She confides her trust to Dr. John Fury (Tom Skerritt) and her pilot Delfy (Columbus Short) when she meets a UN Rep Robert Pryce (Gabriel Macht) and she doesn't know of she trusts him completely after she was attacked by the killer. The only problem in the film is that they have 3 days to discover who the killer is before they end up getting stuck in Antarctica for the whole winter and they have to endure Whiteouts. I thought the movie was very good and Kate Beckinsale to me always shines. I give it a A- because I thought they did a terrific job making you believe you are in Antarctica.

American Psycho (2000)

This is the movie that made Christian Bale a household name in the US. He had starred in plenty of movies before this, but didn't become the big star he deserved to be until this horror thriller about a yuppie that indulges in the lifestyle and decides to become a serial killer. Bale was absolutely classic as Patrick Bateman, a eccentric over obsessed about his looks type of guy who is just flat out weird. He has a master plan in mind during the movie that he'd kill people under somebody else's name that he in fact kills. The whole movie you notice Bateman struggling with the fact that he kills people and nobody takes him seriously when he admits to it. It's almost like he wants to get caught, but everyone thinks he's joking. The ending will confuse you or maybe not but it did confuse me. The movie also stars Resse Witherspoon (Fear) as Bateman's girlfriend, Chloe Sevigny (Boys Don't Cry) as Bateman's secretary, Josh Lucas (Wonderland) as Bateman's Colleague Craig, Samantha Mathis (Pump Up The Volume) as Courtney, Jared Leto (Urban Legend) as Paul Allen, and William Dafoe (Spiderman) as Detective Donald Kimball. Like I said, the movie is a classic and very twisted. Bale is great when he drones on about his favorite 80's musicians before killing his victims. The grade for this movie is A- just for Christian Bale's brilliance and the story itself.

Blood Creek (2009)

I was very intrigued by the cover of the DVD which features a man with a swastika carved in the back of his head. So I got the chance to rent this and it's not that bad of a movie. The beginning is a little bit rushed but the rest of the movie is excellent. It's about the Nazis and how they thought that black magic would lead them to supremacy. So, Hitler sends out men to the US to recover Rhinestones that are said to have magic in them. The only problem is it's 60 years later and people have gone missing including Evan's (Henry Cavill) brother Victor (Dominic Purcell). One day Victor returns and he has Evan help him out. They head back to the farm and Evan discovers that the situation is more complicated then he expected. Trapped in a cellar of a barn is the deadly and extremely dangerous Nazi by the name of Richard Wirth (Michael Fassbender). The family that owns the farm has been kept the same age as when they had first met Wirth for over 60 years. The feed him blood in order to keep him happy and so that he can fulfill a prophecy. The only problem is Victor and Evan have other plans and with the help of Lisse (Emma Booth), a girl who has remained 17 for decades and a book of the occult she had been studying, they try to stop this madman. Like I said before the beginning is very rushed and at occasions the acting is tough to bear, but the rest of the movie is excellent and I give it a B+

Step Up 2: To The Streets (2008)

I thought the first one was okay and the only reason I saw that was that I was on a date. Channing Tatum (G.I. Joe: Rise Of The Cobra) makes a brief cameo in this film to tell the main character that she has potential and that she should go to the Maryland School Of The Arts. The main character being Andie (Briana Evigan), a girl from the streets with some troubles at home and she's heading in the wrong direction until she meets Chase Collins (Robert Hoffman), a wannabe urban street dancer who probably grew up in a nice neighborhood. Andie is practicing for a street dance off competition that is big time. The only problem is she's trying to hide the fact she goes to the school from the group's leader Tuck (Black Thomas). He finds out anyways and kicks her out of the group so Andie has to find a new team. With Chase's help, she puts together a team, but can she get them ready and street cred ready so that they don't get clowned. Like I said before, I'm not a big fan of dancing movies, but this isn't as good as the first one. Even Channing Tatum couldn't save this one with his brief cameo. Two Stars Out Of Five

Planes, Trains, & Automobiles (1987)

I have three names for you that tell you why this is a classic movie and they are the late John Hughes (The Breakfast Club), the legendary comedian the late John Candy (Uncle Buck), and the other legendary comedian Steve Martin (The Jerk). This is a movie about Neal Page (Martin), a guy who works in the corporate world, who is way too into his way of life. Page is sort of running late for the airport so he can get home to his family when he meets Del Griffith (Candy), a regular ordinary everyday kind of salesman. Del is a kind of a klutz at times throughout the movie as he tries to help Page get home because their flights to Chicago were cancelled and they ended up in Kansas. There is a great point to this movie and it happens along the way when Candy sort of changes Martin from an uptight jerk to a normal human being. There are way too many funny scenes to name in this movie as it proved Martin and Candy made a great comedy tag team. A scene that sticks out in my mind is when Martin gets the rental car but it's not there and when he confronts the woman behind the desk (Edie McClurg) and the situation gets hectic with Martin swearing at her up and down. The movie features some cameos by Michael McKean (This Is Spinal Tap), Kevin Bacon (Footloose), and Ben Stein (Ferris B I give this movie Three And The Half Stars Out Of Five

The Crow (1994)

We as humans are fascinated with the unknown. For example. we are fascinated with the idea of the dead coming back to life or the afterlife in general. So, here comes this dark tale of a guy and his girlfriend who get killed by this gang who pretty much runs the city. Now their dead, but the only problem for this gang is that the boyfriend Eric Draven (The Late Brandon Lee), comes back from the grave to right what was wrong. That is the premise of this movie and I think this movie is a classic. It's one of the best and unfortunately the last movie Brandon ever starred in. I truly enjoyed the cinematography in this movie and the dark, gloomy feel to the movie. I think this by far is the best in the series. Not to forget, the movie boasts an excellent soundtrack of the top dark, Gothic acts in the music business at the time. My favorite scene in the film is when he realizes what he can do and he puts the make up on the first time and becomes the bringer of vengeance. The movie also stars Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters) as Sergeant Albrecht, Rochelle Davis (Her Only Role to date) as Sarah, Michael Wincott as the kingpin known as Top Dollar, Ling Bai as his very weird sister Myca, David Patrick Kelly (The Longest Yard) as T-Bird, Angel David (GI Jane) as Skank, Laurence Mason (Ali) as the knife wielding Tin Tin, Michael Massee (Underdog) as Fun Boy, and Tony Todd (Candyman) as Granger, who make up the rest of Top Dollars cronies. This is one of my favorite films, so therefore it gets Five Out Of Five Stars

Scary Movie (2000)

This is the movie that certainly didn't invent parody movies, but brought with it a overabundance of crap parody movies. This past decade was the decade of remakes and bad parodies. This was an impressive one though and the Wayans brothers struck gold with this one. The movie parodies Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and The Sixth Sense to name a few and they did it with ease. The movie starts off with Carmen Electra (I'm calling her the queen of Parodies) spoofs Drew Barrymore in the beginning. After her obvious death, the movie turns to three couples who are also friends, Cindi Campbell (Anna Faris), Bobby Prinze (Jon Abrahams), Brenda Meeks (Regina Hall), Shawn Wayans (Little Man) who plays Ray Wilkins, a gay guy in denial that's dating Brenda, Lochlyn Munro (Little Man) as Greg Phillippe, and Shannon Elizabeth (American Pie) as Buffy. Like Scream, they trying to figure out who is killing the teens and is it Cindi's boyfriend? The movie also stars Cheri Oteri (Shrek The Third) as Gail Hailstorm, Rick Ducommun (The Burbs) as Cindi's Dad, Squiggy himself David L. Lander (Laverne & Shirley) as Principal Squiggy, Marlon Wayans (Little Man) as the useless pothead Shorty, Dave Sheridan (Sex Drive) as Doofus, Kurt Fuller (The Pursuit Of Happiness) as the sheriff and the movie even features cameos by Keenan Ivory Wayans and James Van Der Beek. Like I said before, this movie was well written and thought out, that's more than I can say for Date Movie, Superhero Movie, and Epic Movie. Four Stars Out Of Five
