Personal statement:

What can I say?  I like movies and popcorn.  I love going to the movies but am just as happy sitting at home watching a movie on the small screen.  I also enjoy sitting through the end credits.

 Oh, I also looked like Linda Blair in "The Exorcist" (prior to possesion) when I was little.

 I think that covers the important stuff.

"I'm so glad you watched Gingerdead Man! When I read that I had to smile. I hope you weren't actually expecting a horror film though... but who doesn't love comedy-horrors?! And Gary Busey, of course. [quote user="divinemsjunebug"] Okay I saw Gingerdead Man and No Such Thing this weekend. Gingerdead man was pretty fun, some of the acting was a little bad but Gary Busey was his crazy self, I wish they would have shown more of him and his antics, that was pretty clever. No Such Thing was really good. I had to stop analyzing the movie because it bugged me that this ancient monster that was hiding out in IceLand had perfect sarcastic American Speech. But it really had an endearing quality to it and was very sad. You really could understand how the monster was feeling. Thanks for mentioning those movies, I love seeing films I have never seen before. [/quote] " [More]

"Clearly the gingerbread cookie (voiced by Gary Busey), star of The Gingerdead Man, is the correct answer. Well, either that or Ella in Monkey Shines, played by Boo the monkey. " [More]

 "Holy shit. This movie was crazy, and I loved every minute of it. Yes, she has teeth in her vagina... or her vagina has teeth, or something - but you should already know that from the trailer. Going in to this movie you have to know that it's going to be kind of ridiculous, and it is - but in just the right way. Squeamish you have no dick parts, check; humorous vagina with razor sharp teeth parts, check. Without giving away the quote, when she goes to the gynocologist, he yells something at the top of his lungs at one point, and trust me, as someone that tends not to 'lol' a lot, you will spit out your soda and choke on your popcorn. I had to rewind and watch it again, it was my favorite part of the movie and I hope to quote it in future awkwardly drunk situations. I will be talking about this movie for awhile, you should definitely check it out /it's fun to make little chomping noises whenever you mention the movie " [More]

 "WHOA Ellen Page, whoa. That was first.This is second. Even knowing what this movie was about prior to viewing it, I was still completely shocked. It was an edge-of-your-seat-where-the-he ll-is-this-going movie that had me too terrified to look away.Third and last. I recommend this movie. I do not recommend watching it on a train where other people around you may be able to catch glimpses of what's happening on screen, as my friend and I did. We more than once paused it, stared at each other in disbelief for awhile, debated whether to continue, and then started up again. Let's leave it at that. " [More]

 "This movie will have you in stiches. Every charactor makes you laugh, and Alan Tudyk on drugs is to die for (oh the pun!). I saw it in theaters and the audience was dying with laughter... before I write any more horrible puns, let me just say this movie will have you laughing through out; and don't worry, if you don't like 'dry british humour' it doesn't matter, it's not that type of comedy. Grab some friends and enjoy! " [More]

 "What to say what to say... as a lover of B-movie horror flicks that have gone totally wrong, I must say this is quite spectacular. The acting was terrible, the writing was worse, the sound effects don't even pass and the camera angles/lighting would make any professional want to kill... a fetus? KILLER FETUS! How could that not be a good plot line?Even before viewing this movie I was laughing at the tag-line "All he wanted was a cuddle". Some lines I enjoyed, "You don't raise your voice to big mama!" and through out the beginning of the film various characters would continue to command someone to do something, followed by an elongated pause and then "NOW!" at which point the person would listen. My friends and I can't stop quoting this movie.And don't forget the guy that gets outside the house, and is surrounded by a hand knit blanket of yarn environment, or how Big Mama looks like a combination of a referee and Beetle Juice.

 "'Palindromes' was probably the oddest film I have seen so far, but I kind of liked it. Every controversial topic, from abortion to sex to pedophilia is in it, and although you may have opinions on these topics it really makes you question them. The whole "let's change the main character’s actress every scene" was not as weird as you might imagine... it just further emphasized the point of the film that it doesn’t matter what you look like or how you appear to others, you're always the same person no matter what age you are, no matter how you change your appearance - you can't change who you are. I read somewhere that this was showing us how Aviva [the main character] kept viewing herself differently, but I took it more along the lines of looks don't matter, only personality really counts. Towards the end of the film a supporting charactor sums up this whole idea quite nicely.As dark as it is, there are a couple funny parts, although ... " [More]

 "I don't know much about English Cinema, but I thought this was fantastic. Supposedly it painted a pretty realistic picture of skinheads at the time, but I can't vouch for that; however, it seemed pretty realistic to me. It showed vulnerability and sensitivity, along with anger, frustration and racism. The main actor, only 13 yrs old and having never acted before = amazing. Cinematography = quiet and beautiful, even in the darker moments. Also, the ending is captivating. Go see this film. " [More]

 "Junebug produces mixed feelings. The acting was pretty fantastic, even the kid from the OC (Benjamin McKenzie) was great, and all the characters were convincing - except George who is kind of in the background for most of the movie. A lot of the movie is predictable, and it is somewhat slow. My interest was never really lost, but by the end of it, only a feeling of 'blah' remained. The enviornment was set up quite nicely with long cuts of every empty room in the quiet house, but if it wasn't for chipper Ashley it would have been too drab. I would not watch this movie again, but props to the acting and the quiet Dad who you might fall in love with (the bird at the end is a cute touch). " [More]

 "I saw this for the first time at age 20 so it wasn't nostalgic at all for me; however, it was exactly what I wanted it to be - cute, shallow and all in 80s clothes. if you feel like sitting back and having a few chuckles without having to think about anything, this is for you. Plus the jacket art is awesome. " [More]
