"I have to say this was a pretty funny movie, nothing much too wrong with this movie. This one girl that I know keeps saying at random times, "You go ass to mouth!" over and over. She also says, along with a lot of other people that I look like luigi, so I created a screen name in honor of clerks II and well my appearance, ass2mouthLuigi. That is seriously my SN, so if you want to talk to my, try to arrange a time. Anyways, this movie has limited jokes, but it gets me everytime. I actually rented it twice, once a while back when it first came out, and today. I am fixing to watch it again. Maybe I'll add more later, after I see the movie, to have it fresh in my head, but from what I know, I liked it. 4 out of 5 for the second Clerks movie. " [More]

"Now, I came across Goal.! II on the movie's list on SPOUT and could not believe it. I saw the first Goal.! movie about a few months back and fell in love with the main character, Santiago Munez and his soccer skills. I was already a huge soccer fan, and was looking for the next soccer movie and picked this one up from blockbuster. I had my pizza ready, as I have for every movie I rent with anticipation and hunger. This movie was pretty good, a great struggling-hero movie. If you like soccer, and want to get a rush as if you are the main character, try and pick up Goal.! Santiago Munez is an illegal alien from mexico and loves soccer, in fact he is the best soccer player of the local team. When he gets a chance to play in the big leauge he saves his money up for the trip. His father, tells him that he is just a boy with a dream, nothing more. This movie was an extremely satisfying movie for me, in fact just after seeing it I actually picked up a soccer ball and played with my do ... " [More]

"Slither, a not so original comedy-horror is based on a lot of Sci-Fi movies, books, and etc. This movie kind of reminded me of Invasion of the Body Snatchers if I'm not mistaken. I can't say this movie really interested me, or made me laugh at all, which doesn't say much about its comedy half now does it? This movie didn't suck, so I'm going to try and touch on that. Although not quite an original, this movie was well above some movies of similar genre that are coming out today. It had such events like the girl sucking on a worm as if it were a penis and ripping it out before she was dead meat. Most of its jokes weren't at all that funny, but they weren't at all that dumb. Just the kind of humorous characters that maybe a 14 year old would've found funny. This movie isn't a horrible rent, but if you went to go see this movie in theaters when it came out, well I'm damn sure sorry you wasted your money on this piece of work. I can honestly say ...

School for Scoundrels

"This movie was just another "one of those movies." Nothing special, no honorable mentions, nothing. I will however say that David Cross did half-rid himself of the Napoleon Dynamite stereotype he had going on. Billy Bob Thornton did do his part in playing the strict instructor ass that he was. It had its moments, but its moments didn't save it from being an average movie. It wasn't a huge disappointment, but it was a disappointment nonetheless. If your looking for a "fall out of your seat" funny movie, this movie is not for you. If you are looking for a movie that will give you a small tickle of a laugh every now and then, then hey why not this one. Don't get your hopes up though. I give School for Scoundrels a 3 out of 5.

Stranger than Fiction

"Will Ferrell disappointed me and surprised me at the same time. He wasn't funny, hell I actually wasn't expecting him to be all that funny in his new movie Stranger than Fiction, but I expected something else. The movie was however, oddly "good" in a sense. I happened to enjoy the wide vocabulary used in the narrator's book. This movie made me actually aspire to become literate, or at least try a career that involves literacy and hopefully write and publish a novel. It's not everyday you see a movie as "quirky" (ktincu) as this, but it's pretty damn satisfying. I watched it twice, back-to-back to find something in this movie, but could not. I don't know what, but it's not the greatest movie ever made, I figure that. It's a pretty straight-forward movie which I like and doesn't lose you with a complex storyline like in a lot of movies of today. It's quick-witted or most of the characters are, and I especially enjoyed the na ... " [More]
The Prestige

"I got pretty caught up in this movie, that came out shortly after The Illusionist. Christian Bale gave a lovely performance as the unlikely magician in the movie. In this movie you were either forced to root for either the wonderfully presented magician who wasn't that great at being a magician compared to his rival, or of course the magician who didn't know how to present himself but in core was the true magician. Each with their different ideals in how to practice their way-of-life as a turn-of-the-century magician. This movie gave me plenty insightful views in the careers of the struggling magician, or a magician period. It is also a revealing movie, not to give any spoilers, but as with the birds. I still can't believe how they do that, it's shameful. But it's like they said "you need to get your hands dirty" in their line of work. Overall this movie is much better to it's rival the Illusionist and it subsided my hunger to see another magician based movi ... " [More]

"Christopher Nolan did a great job on this title, seeming how it quickly climbed it's way into my all-time favorite movies list. I watched this movie last year around summer time and still can not shake its brilliance. I was stunned by its backward-pace memory game. It's one of the only movies I've seen to this date that mastered the end-to beginning-to end order of events. This movie inspired me to get a tattoo, hell...tattoos and got me to write notes all over myself. The day after I saw this movie I jumped into the bathtub with sharpie written all over me with reminders for the day. Some mimicking the tattoos of Guy Pearce in Memento. The horrific state of the main character astonished me and caused me to watch the entire movie jaw-dropped. It never even occured to me that the entire movie was in black-n-white, and that says something. It is an amazing movie that I found to be unmatchable in its suspense. If you have the time I strongly recommend picking up this movi ... " [More]

"I rented this surprisingly entertaining movie from blockbuster a few weeks back and I have to say it's not half-bad. There was really nothing wrong with this movie, it had a decent plot and some pretty interesting characters. It's a slow-paced film with a number of twists and turns that keep leading you spiraling in circles to it's sadly predictable ending. Although it may have cause some to rack their brains, I was not fooled by The Illusionist. The romantic side of the movie was short of great, but good nonetheless. The movie keeps you glued to your chair to discover the unforgettable ending. Edward Norton puts on quite a show for his audience as the star character in The Illusionist although not near as great as he was in Fight Club. Nevertheless he did a good job as well as with the other cast. The only downside to this movie was the predictability of it, the title pretty much gave away it's ending. This however doesn't keep the movie from being a good movie ... " [More]
