Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994)
Perfect vampire movie
I call this the perfect vampire movie for one reason. It is. It's not your everyday teen slasher, this movie goes for the epic. You actually care about the vampires in this movie, and don't just wish them dead. The performance from Tom Cruise in portrayal of Lestat is both dark, and scary.
Brad Pitt does well too, and Kristen Dunst delivers a great preformance. So check out this movie if you're into serious vampire, or horror movies. If you are looking for a few quick scares, look somewhere else. If you are looking for a good story with a dark streak, go get this movie.
The Untouchables (1987)
An instant classic
What can I say about this movie. It is a classic, the only Brian De Palma film that hits everything on the money. Great acting, great script, great film. Get it now, you will not be disappointed.
That '70s Show (1998)
The funniest show on TV
This is the funniest show on TV. They come up with new jokes, and new situations for the kids every week. Long live That 70's Show!
The Faculty (1998)
A well balanced movie
So it wasn't the best movie in the world. But if you just let yourself go, you will enjoy this movie. The acting was above par, and the writing of the movie was good. It took a little while to get into the action, but when it did, The Faculty delivers big, the last thirty min. are a non stop roller coaster ride that will blow you away. Go see this movie. You might just enjoy it.
The Wedding Singer (1998)
Sandler does it again...
Adam Sandler, king of comedy, had done it again. He knows his stuff people. And this movie delivers everything. Sandler is great, Barrymore's acting is superb, and the story is excellent. The laughs just keep on coming in this love story set in 1985. Go get it, quick.
Vampires (1998)
Good movie
I enjoyed this movie. I had heard all of the negative reviews, but I really did enjoy this movie. It was suspenseful, and funny when it needed to be. James Woods gave a great performence, and the directing was good. All in all a great movie. Go see it.
Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998)
The first worthy sequel
Halloween: H20, the title is confusing, but the movie is a fast paced fright fest. Michael Myers is back, and he's out to finish the job he started twenty years ago. Jamie Lee Curtis can still play the part perfectly, and twenty years haven't prevented her from being the scream queen once again. Finally a worthy sequel to the 1978 classic has arrived. Go see this movie.
Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995)
The worst Halloween movie ever...
By far this is the worst Halloween movie ever made. The acting is bad, except for Paul Rudd, and Donald Pleasence. The girl who played Kara (forgot her name) was ok, but overall this movie was basically a big letdown. Nothing moved the story forward, it lacked substance, and the scares that made Halloween and H20 so good. All and all, skip this movie, it's not worth the price of rental.
Star Trek: Generations (1994)
Not the best
Not the best movie featuring the TNG cast, but worthwhile. It's nice to see Shatner playing Kirk again. The only downfall is the bad lighting of the Enterprise. Patrick Stewert, shines as Picard, who is dealing with the death of his brother and nephew, and his slow decisions are the result of this tragedy. I recommend it to Star Trek fans, but don't watch it expecting a perfect movie. It gives what it set out to do, to tell the story of the Nexus. If you look at it in that light, the movie shines.
Tombstone (1993)
Action packed fun
Most likley the only western movie that I like. Tombstone is an action packed movie that sizzles. Val Kilmer shines, and steals the show, as Doc Holiday. The fight scenes are well executed, and the acting is great. I recommend this movie to any action fan. Even if you aren't a western lover, give it a shot, you will enjoy it.
Gettysburg (1993)
The best Civil War movie
This is the best Civil War movie ever made. An all star cast lead this explosive movie, depicting the famous battle of Gettysburg. Every history buff, and anyone interested in the movie will be well satisfied. Picketts charge made me want to weep for the Confederate soldiers, and you will enjoy this movie too, despite the four hours that it is.
Dazed and Confused (1993)
Good fun
Dazed and Confused. The title says it all, but this movie is non stop laughs. From the stoners, to the freshmen, to Wooderson, the long since past high school wannabe, this movie is great solid laughs all around. Go rent this movie if you are looking for entertaining laughs.
Rock 'n' Roll High School Forever (1991)
Corey Feldman shines...
This is a great movie! Comedy not at its best, but doing fine for what it should be doing. Corey Feldman plays Jessie, leadman for a band that just isn't getting along with the new assistant principal. When they decide to steal the prom for the scheduled band, all hell breaks loose. Constant laughs.
Aliens (1986)
Non stop action and terror
Everyone's favorite alien is back, and this time Ripley will have to confront the queen. This movie is the best of the series, building on the suspense of the first one, and making Ripley face her nightmare again. I recommend this to any sci-fi or horror fan. This is the best in the series, and shouldn't be missed.
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
A classic...
This is Wes Craven's best movie, and is the third best on my list of horror movies. The first two being Halloween, and then Psycho. This movie is great, as we are introduced into the mind of Fred Kreuger, and is stalking of Nancy, and the rest of the Elm Street kids. A great movie, and any horror fan will enjoy it.
The Waterboy (1998)
The Best Adam Sandler Movie?
The Best Adman Sandler Movie? I say so. It ties with Billy Madision, a classic Sandler movie. With a funny spirited Waterboy played by Sandler, who quickly starts to kick some butt, leading his small backwater team to victory, it makes for a great comedy. Kathy Bates is great as the overprotective mother, and Fairuza Balk is the coolest. Watch this movie, you won't be sorry.
Urban Legend (1998)
Another teen slasher for the 90's.
Urban Legend, a movie that promised to deliver big, but just seemed to be another teen slasher flick. The opening sequence is kind of cool, but other than that, nothing really happens in the film. An average movie fare, that just seems to be another Kevin Williamson rip off. Aside from the murder sequences being Urban Legends, this film is just another Scream look alike.
Halloween (1978)
The best scary movie of all time...
Is Halloween the scariest? You bet. Dark suspensful moments, I rate it better then Psycho. Which was a very good movie. The Shape (Michael Myers) seems to blend into the shadows, striking when you expect him to, but still scaring you. If you haven't seen this movie, go rent it. Though 20 years old, it is still the scariest movie around. I salute John Carpenter for this great movie.
