RoboCop (1987)
"Your Move Creep!" Excellent Action FIlm!
This film is absolutely thrilling on many levels! I always like movies that have cyborgs involved because they do not care about human feelings, they have a program, and their goal is to abide by the program and the rules. This movie has a different twist on that, especially when Robocop starts to remember what happened to him when he was human. This film also has some great villains, and great action involved! The movie has some very violent scenes, so I strongly suggest to get the kids out of the room before watching it because they will more than likely have nightmares especially when one of the villains crashes into a vat of toxic waste! Overall, this movie triumphs as a terrific action film. I think it's message is no matter how much you try to make a man into a machine, you can never terminate someone's mind and emotions! So, give this movie a shot! Long live Robocop!
The Nostalgia Critic (2007)
This guy is hysterical! Strongly recommended if you want a good laugh!
People have their "American Idol", or "Grey's Anatomy." Well I have The Nostalgia Critic! This show is absolutely hilarious on all levels! The Nostalgia Critic is a internet show that posts a new episode every week about movies or TV shows that are mostly from the 80s and 90s. These reviews are mostly negative, and in some cases VERY NEGATIVE, but that is what makes the show so funny. It is comical to watch this guy get mad at every weird, and stupid moment in a film or TV show that he reviews. This is the best internet show out there in my opinion because while he does try to get a good laugh out of you, he also has some very intelligent things to say to back up his arguments, which always a plus. Overall, this show is great, and I look forward to each and every new episode! His funniest episode is his review of "The Neverending Story 3." I won't explain it, just watch it to believe it! Check it out! He remembers it so you don't have to!
Rumpelstiltskin (1995)
Just Awful..need I say more? Okay
This film is ridiculous on so many levels! I don't understand why they have to take every single fairy tale character, and make them a killer. Now, I realize that The Brothers Grimm sort of did that, but come on! You are afraid of a being that is half your size?!! Really?!! The whole film goes like this, "Oh no Rumplestiltskin is after my baby! What do we do? What do we do?" Here's an idea...move to Alaska! Jeez! I just don't understand why people are so afraid of midgets in horror movies. Yes they have powers, yes they are creepy, and yes they can be annoying, but come on! You want my advice. I will make this short. Beware of this film's stupidity!
30 Days of Night (2007)
Never Seen a Vampire Film Like This Before....And That is a Good Thing!
The first vampire films that I ever saw were films like "The Lost Boys," or "Fright Night." Then, I ran into this one, and I am glad that I did! 30 Days of Night is basically about a town in Alaska called Barrow (FYI this town actually exists), that experiences a period of darkness for 30 days, which is the perfect setup for blood thirsty vampires to come in! The plot of this film couldn't be simpler, and that's okay. It is basically a cat and mouse game all the way through, and I like horror movies that do that! It makes it more intense that way. First off, Ben Foster as The Stranger is a very chilling performance. I didn't even realize that was him until very recently. He did a great job! Josh Hartnett and Melissa George played their characters well, too. They were great leaders throughout the film, and you need a leader in a horrifying cat and mouse game. Second, the vampires in this film were unlike any I have ever scene because they spoke their own language, which was creepy, especially when they talked to the townspeople. I think it is scary when a creature is yelling something at you, and you don't even know what they are saying. The leader vampire was the creepiest in my opinion because he spoke the language. Most of the vampires did not even say anything, but they still made great characters. They were creatures, and that is what I liked. I also admired the uneasiness about how to kill the vampires, and that they used ultraviolet light to kill one of them. One terrifying scene that I still have a hard time to watch is when the vampires use a girl as bait to lure out anyone who is hiding in town, and when there is nobody left, they slowly torture and eat her. This scene just showed me that the vampires run the town now, and they can do whatever they want, when they want. They were like a gang with fangs! Overall, this film was a fantastic scare flick. The ending was too bittersweet for me, but the majority has great scares, great action, and of course great vampires. I strongly recommend this one, especially when you are looking for something to watch in the dark!
Hollow Man (2000)
Amazing Visual Effects, Below Average Plot
Okay, so first off I need to say that Hollow Man has some of the best visual effects I have ever seen in a sci-fi film. They really are spectacular. Especially when they change the gorilla and Sebastian invisible. That was just really interesting to watch. I also need to say something else before I go to the negative side. Kevin Bacon is the best actor in this film. He did a fantastic job with his role. He made you feel how angry he was for not being able to be visible, but he uses his invisibility to his advantage, especially when he decides to kill everyone off so he can live a normal life without no one ever knowing about what happened. Now, here is the negative, this film's plot is below average. It just seemed to take a predictable turn when Sebastian decides to kill everyone. I wish they would have done something different, or maybe even draw out the process of him becoming crazy just to make it more creepy to watch. Also, after watching this film recently I noticed another bad part of this movie, Elisabeth Shue. She is awful, and I mean awful in this movie! She was great in the 80s, but you can tell that she has lost her touch with this one. Every time an argument happens in this movie, she goes "hey guys let's just go and celebrate!" Her character and her acting was just too ditzy for me. If you are looking for a film with Kevin Bacon and good effects, then check it out. Otherwise, pretend it is invisible.
The Karate Kid (1984)
Simply put...an awe inspiring film that defines the true meaning of Karate.
This film is absolutely awesome. I love 80's films, and this has to be one of my favorites! I take Karate myself, and this film almost goes along with my style, which is cool! I think that the defining performance in this film has to be Pat Morita. He plays a very good mentor character. The one part in the film that got to me the most was when Daniel walks in on Miyagi drinking, and he listens to his story of how his wife and unborn child died. This was actually the scene that got Morita his Oscar nomination. There is also a great message of friendship tied in. The bond that Miyagi and Daniel have in this film is unforgettable. The love interest aspect is a little overrated between Macchio and Shue, but this was included in a lot of the movies at this time, so I guess that is okay. Also, there has been talk of Ralph Macchio being extremely "whiny" in this film, which is pretty much true, but I think it works for this film because Macchio is trying to depict a boy who does not understand why he is getting beat up and what Karate is actually about. If you want to see a movie that has a great moral and overall message, then this movie is for you. Check it out!
