I agree, all the cheesy sex scenes cheapened what would have been a pretty solid creepy film. Some of the effects were reeeeal low budge though. I'd still probably give it 6.5 or 7 out of 10.

"Tokarev" 6/10

Roderick Usher's newest movie starring Nicholas Cage.

Compared to Liam Neeson in "Taken" Cage was much more brutal an less likable, but the story just wasn't as exciting and of all possible outcomes the ending was probably the worst they could've come up with.

Also, if you want to see a good Nicholas Cage performance go watch "Joe".


But good luck with it, Sean.



"Way of the Wicked" 7/10

This story was actually pretty good and it had a (at least I thought) very interesting main character in Robbie and i really thought newcomer Jake Croker added a lot of depth to his character (tho i might be the only one who think so. lol). Too bad the ending was weak as hell.

I agree with the recommendation. I own The Ninth Gate, excellent movie!

Halloween 2 (Remake) -

MAJOR SPOILERS!!!




















I'm going to start believing more horror reviews. Most said this one is bad. I still wanted to see it just to see it. But there is no point in seeing this movie. It's worse than the first remake. A movie I can't remember. And it's worse than the original Halloween 2. The movie is dark, violent, and extremely brutal just to be brutal.

This movie starts by once again breaking what I believe are rules. First, more young Michael Myers back story to humanize him I guess and add to a twist ending. The guy is more crazed serial killer than anything in this movie. And second, which is bad for any movie. For the first 30 minutes we are watching a dream sequence. It's the hospital segment from the original movie. There is nothing in the look of the movie that says this is a dream either. When it turned out to be a dream I was pissed and tempted to stop the movie there. I guess Zombie thought that since Carpenter didn't like Halloween 2, why not be clever and trick the audience or something. It's stupid.

After that the movie really starts. And it's not like it gets better either after the dream sequence. I think this movie is like the Friday the 13th remake in that Zombie combined a lot of Halloween movies. There are scenes that seem to be from Halloween 4 or 5 here. I can't remember. A party sequence, the twist with a family member, and a few others. There are also mirrored scenes from Halloween 2. But they are different just to be different. For example, in Halloween 2 (original) there is the hot tub nurse death. Myers dips the nurse multiple times in the tub drowning and burning her face. And we get that 80s gratuitous shot of her perfect boobs. In the remake, there is a nude stripper who has her face brutally slammed into glass. The shot is flipped. It's really vicious. And it's missing that gratuitous shot.

These characters aren't the characters of the original movies either. So why even bother? Why not create your own horror movie with a brother / sister conflict or whatever they want to call this mess. They changed the Loomis character into a book / media money grabber. The only actress that does a good job is Danielle Harris. At least she's the only character I cared about. I think Zombie knew it too that's why her death is basically off screen with quick cuts and sound effects. But we do see the sad result. People complain about Jason teleporting in the later Friday the 13th movies, but here Myers literally beats cars across town. And does it just for the story. He's at the same party with Laurie but leaves to go kill Danielle Harris' character for some reason.

It's all very bad and pointless. It makes the original Halloween 2 look good. And that movie pales compared to the original Halloween. Anyone who hasn't seen this remake should avoid it at all costs.

Halloween H20

The 41-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It

Just by he title you can tell it's total crap.

For fans, it's kinda sad that after this one Polanski hasn't done any this kind of mystery/thriller so far. Depp was good in this and I think he can quite fit more into Polanski's world of eerie psychological horror & suspense. Aside from his frequent teaming up with Gore Verbinski & Tim Burton, I guess Polanski is another director who can nicely utilize Depp's potential as a character actor.

Wolf Creek 2 -

This movie didn't make any sense. Either the filmmakers couldn't decide what movie they wanted to make or they don't understand the basic rules of storytelling. The acting was terrible even from Tobin Bell who just seemed bored and the hook of the movie had barely anything to do with it.
