Double Review-Saw 5 and REPO! The Genetic Opera

Review-REPO! The Genetic Opera
Director-Darren Lynn Bousman
Writers-Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich
Starring-Alexa Vega, Anthony Stewart Head, Sarah Brightman, Paris Hilton, Ogre, Terrance Zdunich with Bill Moseley and Paul Sorvino.

What started life as a short film, then became a stage play, now becomes one of the best and most original films of 2008. I am completely throwing my full support behind this amazing work of art. It's one of my favorite films of 2008, and something that stays with you for a long time after you watch it. You will be amazed at the distinct art style and may be disturbed at the gore in the film, but after you watch it you will have the feeling of having just seen something completely different and game-changing.

5/5


Review-Saw 5
Director-David Hackl
Writers-Patrick Metlon and Marcus Dunstan
Starring- Costas Mandylor, Scott Patterson, Betsy Russell, Mark Rolston and Julie Benz

The 4th sequel to what must be trying to tie or beat A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th series for most sequels to a single movie is suprisingly better than the last, with better traps, a better story and better acting overall. The story this time is that Det. Hoffman must tie up all loose ends to protect his secret. When the FBI gets in on the game and start to find out who he really is, the game seems to be up. But Jigsaw never made mistakes and as we will soon learn, the game is far from over. The film does have its problems, which are that the story sometimes gets too confusing and the flashback seem heavy handed at times. But this is a fun ride, and better than the last entry in the Saw series.

4/5

My Bloody Valentine Review (Not seen in 3D)

This is a remake of a 80's horror cult classic, updated with modern day horror effects and it's a throwback to what many call the greatest era in horror film history, with lots of blood, gore, sex, nudity, and general mayhem. That being said, this film is surprisingly well-acted, and well-directed. It provides the requiste chilling atmosphere and features some outrageous, over-the-top gore. It does have its problems though, with the story featuring many plot holes(but what film dosen't these days) but the twist differs from the orignal and is an unexpected one. The fact that this was meant for 3D and I only saw it in 2D holds this film back and I can only give it:

4/5

New year, New post

2009 has arrivied and let's hope we have a better year than 2008. Don't get me wrong, we had some great moments (Dark Knight being the 1 movie of the year, Jeff Hardy FINALLY winning the WWE Championship) but we had so many more lows. Now with a new president, let's hope we actually DO see some great change, and not a bunch of spoon-fed lies.


Top things I want in 2009
1. Jeff Hardy to retain his title for an entire year
2. A good leader of this country
3. Christian to win SOME kind of title in the WWE now that he's back with them.
