Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
Come on you guys, be a kid again! *warning minor spoilers*
After reading all of the negative comments about this film I had to give my opinion. Yes, we all know that pretty much everything about this film was insanely unrealistic. But its Indiana Jones! Why does he survive a nuclear bomb by jumping in a fridge? He's Indiana Jones! Why doesn't he ever get shot? He's Indiana Jones! How does he always come up with the perfect plan, why does it always work out, even when there is no way by in physical means it should? He's Indiana Jones! Its fantasy, just learn to relax your mind and not criticize it to death. We shouldn't take movies so seriously all the time. Indy movies are pretty much, just meant to be fun. And that's what it is, a good adventure. If you just relax and learn to find your inner kid while you watch this, you'll probably have a few laughs, a good time, and a lot of fun. So just enjoy it, and if you learn to simply kick back and relax while you watch this, you'll find its a wonderful ending to a classic series!
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)
I lovett!
At last, the darkly funny, disturbing play comes to the bug screen. And who better to direct it then the master of mixing darkness with innocence, Tim Burton! And of course Johnny Depp is one of the few who could pull this role off with his own eccentric twists. Not to mention a wonderful performance by Helena! You may not enjoy this if you are easily disturbed or faint at the sight of blood (then you'll be sent to the emergency room should you watch this all the way through). The feel of the movie was perfect, and since when does Johnny Depp sing? Since this movie was made! Not only does he and Helena sing, but they sing very well, and do they ever know how to harmonize! Despite the fact that Perill is the guy from Borat, he does a great job! And of course the evil judge simply must be played by the same man who was Snape! Though I wouldn't suggest watching this with small children, or if you cant take violence, its still a really, really, really great film. Oh, and you may not want to eat pie while watching this.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
Finally a pirate film worth watching!
What happens when Johnny Depp plays a pirate? Genius! Not only was his character charming, funny, witty, and incredibly entertaining, but it really made the film. Besides him, POTC will take you on an adventure that I can promise you will enjoy. The feel of the film is light hearted and is at times, very funny. Many consider this to be a movie just for kids, not so. From the moment the film starts it is absolutely captivating. Defanatley worth your time. The plot will not bore you, and the film is all around, fun. As one of the makers of Pirates said, "you can't go wrong with Geoffry Rush and Johnny Depp", and he was right. Of course its unrealistic, and it romanticizes piracy, but its fantasy. If your a free spirited person I think this film will fit you well. It deserves to be called a classic, and though Disney has swayed toward the cheesy side of things lately, this movie isn't at all. So go out and see this movie, savvy?
Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge (2001)
Meh...
I usually like weird, kind of dark movies but this one was just... cheesy. The acting was pretty bad, even for amateurs. The script was all too obvious, the plot had potential but bad costuming and set design ruined it all. Many of the ideas seemed stolen (i.e. doesn't Halloweentown sound at all familiar, hmmm? Or the idea of wizard school?) Overall it was a pretty boring movie. Many lines were meant to be funny but just...weren't. It wasn't even bad in a good, funny way, just bad in a torturous fakey, boring way. Overall I would not suggest this movie unless you want your IQ to be lowered. But it might be o.k. for really little kids who just want a fun movie.
Stanley (1972)
good for a laugh
If your looking to be scared, or seriously enjoy a movie, don't watch this. But... if you want to bust a gut laughing, I highly suggest "Stanley". Full of cheesy movie effects, hilarious dialog, and obvious plot holes, it will crack you up! At least, it did me. The acting is bearable and at least it tries to convey a good message, so thats the only reason I gave it 1 star. Though the beginning is actually o.k., boring, but o.k., eventually the cheesiness mounts to be ridiculous, and it is impossible to resist laughing. I have watched this 20 times at least, and we crack up more and more every time! So gather up some friends, get some popcorn, and get ready to laugh your butt off!
Lost (2004)
Wow!
Unless you are currently in a coma you have heard of the show lost. If your thinking about watching it I have two tips for you, 1) Do it!! 2) rent the seasons that you haven't watched and watch them, otherwise you really wont have any idea what is happening and will be incredibly bored, not to mention you will miss out on a lot of really good episodes When my family first brought home a DVD of the first season of lost I watched it, we expecting to be vaguely entertained. But to my surprise we simply couldn't stop watching them! All of the characters have alter egos eventually, its simply amazing. Everyone has a story on the mysterious island, its very interesting to watch them solve the mysteries of the island as well as those of their shady pasts. I would suggest to rent the seasons when they come out on DVD because you will not want to stop watching! Also commercial breaks are annoying and having to wait a week for every episode can break your train of thought. Though the main goal of the show isn't to be humorous their are "cute" pieces of funny lines and situations at times. Sadly the writers strike has postponed the show for now, but really, please, if theirs one TV show you ever watch, let it be Lost.
1408 (2007)
I give it 10 skulls on the shiver scale! (youll get it after the movie)
Steven King is a true genius, and compared to the tired slasher theme we've all come to want to hack to pieces and throw up after bashing our heads against the seat in front of us and screaming because were all so sick of th same old crap for brains endings... it was the best horror movie I've ever seen. The ending did not include the death of any main character, and he ultamantatly defeated the nightmarish room through a complicated sequence of events. I simply loved it, it was terrifying, at times bizarre, and had the feel of a haunting novel. If you have any love for the sake of cinema and our future generations, any sense and hope for the taste our children and children's children's, or basically have about 2 hours and a movie ticket... see this film!! But you should probably take a friend (or at least a family member). No make that 2 friends... it a real chiller!
Miss Potter (2006)
truly captured the magic of the childhood favorites
Everyone remembers being read her titles as a child, and now we get to learn about the real woman. It held a certain magic to it, And i'm not quite sure how to describe it. It brought back peaceful memories of the original stories once read to me by my parents as a small child. And i must say as an artist (and writer) myself, and as having known many artists and writers in the past and present that Renee Zellweger did a wonderful job of being that quirky, crazy in a good sense, way that artists generally are. I should say in fact that she mirrored it perfectly. Throughout the entire movie a sparkly mist was maintained. It reminded me of Alice in Wonderland, the only difference being that it was a bit more sophisticated. If you get a chance go see it, it will be worth your time!
Plan 9 from Outer Space (1957)
I Couldn't have done worse myself!
If your on the hunt for a cheesy movie, this is a goldmine. Not only was the background changing from night to day every five seconds, but when one of the actors died, I swear they did THE WORST possible job of patching it up!It was even the worse than the plays me and my friends used to put on when I was like...eight! They must have actually tried and planned on making it the worst possible production ever! It had me and my family cracking up!The costumes were terrible, and they mixed aliens and vampires! And when you mix those two you get(drum roll please)total crap. So next time you want to get a good laugh, rent plan nine from outer space!
Thank You for Smoking (2005)
And this was SUPPOSED to be funny?!
That was THE LEAST funny film I have ever seen. It had no love or compassion, it had no morals or light at the end of the tunnel. The sad part is the man passed his immorality on to his OWN SON! He basically told him not care about other people as long as your being successful. I'm sure that the atheists went ko Koo about it, but the truth was it depressed me. I don't know why everyone likes it so much. It was so boring I almost had to walk out. One scene was majorly inappropriate and very gross. It practically said it's o.k. to smoke kids so come on down! And thats NOT o.k. So if you were considering watching this insanity may I suggest changing your plans?
The Karate Dog (2005)
cheesiest movie it was terrible
O.K., If I were two I would have thought it was a piece of genius, but I'm like, over the age of five so It was cheesy. I laughed like... once. It wasn't really a laugh it was more of a huh. The CGI was terrible, did you ever watch Misie? Well they made that to, which as everyone knows was the biggest piece of crap to ever walk the planet. The two main peeps were supposed to be in love, but when they were together it was just so extremely cheesily planned that you LOL. I know the lines were intended to be funny, but they were all built off of previous actually funny movies. Every moment was absolute torture. It definitaly wasn't blockbuster worthy. It was very boring, don't waste your time watching it.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
best movie I've ever seen and had great actors & actresses
The first was a classic, but the second was sooo coool!! Unbelievable acting (esspecially on Johnny d's part) and an adventuress plot with lots of excitement and thrills. And this is coming from a girl who considers the HIlls Have Eyes boring! There were lots of laughs and it managed to kill some peeps without any gore, and without making the main characters seem like terrible people. Elizebeth is a lot more daring, and Jack is a bit different, but in a good way. He found his character more I think. Orlando Bloom has improved, there's action for the tomboys out their, romance for the more feminine, and for those of you who are Obsessed with cute guys, their's plenty of them in their to (no I am NOT talking about Davy Jones). Anyways, what I'm trying to say is... besides the theme song is stuck in my head right now... it was a rockin' awesome movie!! It's definitely worth two hours! So see it! You'll love it!!
