Pet Sematary
First time seeing this, and I have to admit I liked it. It was pretty close to the book, and I thought some of the flashback scenes were pretty creepy.

Back to the Future Part II
Though not as good as #1 by any means, this is definatly a worthwhile sequel. Fox and Lloyd both reprise their characters, and do just as good a job as in the first. Biff is without a doubt one of the most easily hated film characters of all time, and he's worse than ever this time around. The plot is ingeniously complex, though that makes it hard to follow at times. I love how it ties in with Part 1 so incredibly well, the writers did a great job. Zemeckis's directing was pretty cool in some parts aswell. Overall, this is a pretty good sequel to an all-time classic. If you liked the first one, you'll probably like this one too. 8/10

The Benchwarmers- 3.5/5
Though not great or hilarious by any means, Benchwarmers does get some cheap laughs in and does send you home with a warm feeling (and I'm not talking about the piss in your pants). Of course, since this movie only recieved 3.5 out of 5 stars, there are some flaws. First off, the Howie character (who is afraid of the sun and has had himself locked inside for the past six months) was overrused and didn't belong in the movie. I'll admit, I laughed at him once in awhile, but I couldn't shake the feeling that he belonged in a different movie. I also didn't like Gus's backstory (which I will not reveal for the sake of the people who will go see it), but I did find it mediocore and a slap-in-the-face with what the story was about. Lastly, the immaturity of the coaches on the other little league teams was pathetic and unfunny. I know at that age you could still be a bully to others around you. But, to do it in teh same way as you did in grade school, and with the worst insults, just doesn't work and makes the movie falls apart. But, not all is lost (obviously). Like mentioned before, it did hit the funny bone. Maybe not in an effective way (like Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector did (yeah, so sue me, but I liked it)). But, it did get the job done. And the physical comedy worked out really well. Then again, what do you expect from Adam Sandler? But, my favorite part about the movie is David Spade. I don't know what it is, but Spade usually makes me laugh. Maybe it's because he makes fun of himself for being so skinny and weak, even if he doesn't actually show it. All in all, The Benchwarmers was a nice seat in the dugout, and it did put a nice, little smile on my face.

Back to the Future Part III
This was a great way to close off a classic trilogy. Though it obviously wasnt on par with the first, I think was was almost as enjoyable as Part 2. The plot was much less complicated, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. It's a good thing because it's much easier to wrap your head around, however it shows that the writers were more concerned with finishing the series than making another classic. The majority of the cast reprise their roles, and are all as great as ever. The Clara character was kind of annoying, but I can forgive that because she was important to the plot. I liked the ending, great way to end the series. Last but not least, what western fan such as myself wouldnt love the Good, Bad and the Ugly reference! Overall this was a fitting end to a great trilogy. Probably the weakest of the three, but that's definatly not a bad thing. 7.5/10

*The Maltese Falcon*
A gem, of course. Not only one of the greatest Bogart films (second only to Casablanca), but a great cast all around- including Elisha Cook, Jr. and one of my other favorite actors, Peter Lorre.
