Reviews

The double feature presentation is amazing. Both films were purposely filmed with low quality clarity to give it more of an old time look. They were also filmed to portray an actual double feature feel. They had some previews and things like that for other movies (not real ones…) before they started, and between them.

Planet Terror was the first film. It was about a certain military division deploying an infectious gas. Some people were immune to it, and they were the ones that had to fight it off. There were tons of ridicules little quips that were really funny. It was also filled with ridicules things happening that normally would never happen. Really no different than any other Robert Rodriguez film. He basically takes everything that can happen, and puts an exclamation point on the end of them. It was very gory, and I loved it.

Death Proof was the second film. It was about a retired stuntman who, for some reason, has a very interesting definition of entertainment. This one had the best/craziest car chase scene I've ever seen, and I can almost guarantee it was the best/craziest one ever filmed. It was VERY entertaining.

This double feature was strictly filmed for entertainment purposes. The dialog, and previews of coming attractions, and the camera shots were written to be offensive and shocking, as well as ridicules and funny. If you like to be entertained, and are the kind of person who doesn't take offense to much, this one's for you. I loved it!

An oldie, but goodie all the same! There really was nothing special about this one. But, the story was great, and the way the director told the story was great. There were lots of questions left open by the end of the film, but for some reason you don't think to ask them. Some of the things the director has the actors talk about in the movie are the reason why you don't think to ask the unanswered questions. He did that quite nicely. You know that the people in the film don't know what the answer is, so it not being explained is okay somehow… It was about a little town in Nevada, called Perfection. Two guys decide to leave the town, but on their way out they start finding people dead. Now they need to find out who (what…) is killing all the people.

The two main characters are perfect. There character development was done very well, and by the end of the film you feel like you know them personally. Very good film! Give it a try!

Scary scary… I love me some Asian horror… American horror films always just have jumpy scary parts that give you an adrenaline rush for about a split second. Asian horror really doesn't have jumpy… They pay more attention to scaring you in a way that lingers and builds up the more you think about it…

This one is a pretty simple story of a Mom/Musician with a lingering guilty conscience. For some reason, things start to go all wrong for her. She can't seem to get the job she wants. One of her students tells her that she's not a good instructor. Plus, she starts having some issues at home when her husband hires a house keeper.

The way the story was told was very creepy… And some of the events that happen are just down right disturbing. But, that's not to uncommon in Asian horror… If you like horror films DON'T miss this one! It's great.

This film, in my opinion, was supposed to lock you in by the shock value. I really don't think that many people would be that shocked by it, although I was… Other than the shock value, it was pretty boring. The only entertainment you'll get out of this one is the great acting (and by such a young actress!) and the way the director told the story was pretty damn flawless. I can't say it was completely, but it was close.

Very simply, it's about a photographer who likes to meet VERY young girls on the internet. That's the basic plot. There much, much more to it than that. You'll just have to watch it to find out the rest! I thought it was an excellent film. You may be bored watching it but if you just try to have an open mind and appreciate the things that are great about the film instead of letting yourself be bored with it, you could thoroughly enjoy it. Give It A Chance!

I'm not to sure if this was supposed to be serious, or a comedy… There was a lot of funny stuff in it. But, there were also a lot of things that seemed to me were supposed to be scary.

It is a story about an innocent girl who is working as a stripper trying to put herself through school, and all the drama and headaches that comes along with her job. Not a bad story. It has some heartfelt events. The dialog wasn't very good at all. The acting was hit or miss. The way Ice Cube told the story was pretty flawed. Things were pretty misplaced, which makes it hard to follow at times.

Wasn't a bad flick. Something I would recommend solely for entertainment purposes, and only if you like cheesy "being bullied" type movies. 95% of the characters were either being bullied by someone, bullying someone else, or both

Apparently this kind of stuff still happens. I had no idea there were places or events left in our society that shunned certain races, but I definitely could be wrong.

This was a great tale about a misguided, lonely woman who ends up trying to get rid of her "list" of things that she has to have or can't stand about men. She doesn't want to be alone anymore, but she's WAYYY to picky. She ends up meeting a man that she KNOWS isn't going to work (just like she always does…).

It's just about what happens when a very closed person opens themselves up and starts letting them self want/do things that they normally wouldn't.

Great story and great acting. Character development was amazing. Story was told very well. I would recommend this one to any film lover.

In almost every decision that people make, there are things they feel strongly about that they don't even know good enough to even have an opinion about, let alone feel strongly one way or the other. This is a very touching science fiction founded story about a man who hates a race of beings just because he's being told to. He gets told they're bad from the time he's little, until he decides to go into the military to help fight them in the war. Well, he ends up being stranded on a lonely little planet with one of the beings.

This was a great film. The story is told in a very heartfelt manner. If you aren't touched at the end of this one, you have to be a rock of some kind. My guess is granite… Perhaps sandstone… Pick this one up, you won't be disappointed.

This was one of the most boring movies I've ever seen… I don't really know why… Just your run-of-the-mill stories about guy who is about to get married, and starts to fancy someone else instead. Story has been told a thousand times. Nothing new or innovative about it at all.

I don't really know what was wrong with this film. Most of the time when these kinds of actors/actresses get together to make a film that have already been made a million times before, it's really entertaining. There are usually little clever thing in them that aren't really in any other. For some reason, this one just doesn't hold your attention. You can pick out some funny parts, or clever ideas in it, but for some reason they're just not funny, nor clever in any way… I wish I new how to explain it, but I don't… Just don't waste your time on this one

Now this is what I call entertainment. I don't really know what to say about this one that isn't going to make you think I'm lying to you… But, this was one of the best horror/comedy films I've ever seen. It was hilarious and very disturbing all at the same time! Was met to be a comedy-type product, but the gore was done so well that it was really really creepy! It's a pretty simple, yet innovative story about a tiny little meteor hitting a small town, and nobody even knowing about it until what's traveling inside infects (for lack of a better word…) a man while he's out getting a drink.

Like I said before, this film was pretty funny, but I think the disturbing takes precedence in my humble opinion… I've seen lots and lots of horror films, and this one was pretty hardcore

My goodness… This film was just great… There were a few little cheesy things, as well as some pretty bad acting, but all in all a great film… There were some very VERY impressive camera shots, and the fighting scenes were nothing more than spectacular! The story starts from when a Thai child is being brought up to show respect to, and protect the family's pet elephants. In Thailand a very long time ago, elephants were said to the animal that gave the great kings their power. So, they had their finest worriers protect them from being hurt in any way. When the child grows up and his elephants end up being taken from him, he vows to get them back by any means necessary.

This film has some of the best Martial Arts scenes I've ever seen, and all with no cords, stunt doubles, or CGI!! If you just want to see some people get plowed by a fairly small man, watch this movie! Apparently size doesn't matter after all

Wow… I don't care what people think about Samuel L. Jackson, that man is amazing. This film shows his versatility something fierce.

This is a great film about a man named Romulus who most would consider homeless. But in the film, if you called him homeless he gets mad because he actually lives in a cave by a little park. He's a used-to-be musician who ends up going insane and can't finish school. He ends up finding a dead man, and is convinced that he knows who killed him. He spends most of the film trying to prove it while also battling the things inside his crazy head.

The entire story is told amazingly unique. His character was very strange, and the way the director portrayed what Romulus was thinking was innovative, as well as straight forward. You need to see this film.

The Machinist portrays the life of a very lonely insomniac that cannot remember anything. He has trouble focusing on things, and has a hard time distinguishing between what's actually happening and what he's just thinking about.

This film was done beautifully. It's not for everyone, due to the fact that a normal film watcher would probably find it a bit on the boring side. The fact still stands, the story was very unpredictable, and told in a creepy kind of way to that makes you think, "If this was happening to me, I'd go crazy…"

The character of Trevor Reznick was flawlessly done by Christian Bale. The amount of time he had to have put into this film to look the way he did must have a substantial. And then to film Batman Begins a year later? Wow… This guy deserves some respect for his obviously disciplined motivation to be a great actor.

This was a GREAT film. It is a musical about the life of a German transvestite that decides he is sick of being devalued. For a VERY basic plot of the film, he spent most of his childhood listening to American radio and was really into it his whole life so he decided to put together a rock band.

The storytelling through music and wonderful acting was some of the most innovative I've ever seen. No other movie tells a story the same way this one did. Beautifully written, and wonderfully portrayed. The dialog is packed full of sarcastic humor that criticizes most of the things Americans typically value. They do this by telling the story purely through a man who spent his entire life being "touched" by so many people.

This is an excellent film, but I would only recommend it to experienced film watchers. If you're not used to watching films, you may miss a lot of what makes this film great. The amount of sarcastic subtleties is overwhelming, and beautiful. I've seen it a few times now, and I catch something new every time.

This was a breathtaking film about honorable fighting. It tells the story of a man from childhood and how he hated that his father had to big of a heart to show his fighting skills. Everyone made fun of him as a kid, so he vowed to earn back respect for his name by never losing a fight.

Well, he got really into being a fearless winner and karma caught up with him. He then started realizing that he was fighting for all the wrong reasons.

The fighting scenes in this film were some of the best I've ever seen. A lot of different fighting styles at unbelievable speeds. The story was not really on the flawless side of things but the acting was great, and the way the director told the story was done very well.

Definitely not the best Asian martial arts movie I've seen, but the fighting scenes were the best I've ever seen. Even if you don't like fighting movies, this one would be entertaining for you watch.

This was a film about a young boy who starts training under a Japanese fighter after him and his friends get caught breaking into his house. At first, he just wants him to help him train his son, but later starts to train him as well.

It was basically just about how fighters like to honor their masters by fighting in a private, full contact tournament to show their worth.

This film was typical 80's to its fullest extent. Almost every other scene was a montage. The fighting was some of the worst I've ever seen. The acting was no better. The story had so many flaws in it that the director just tried to use the soundtrack to get across the feelings he was trying to portray through terrible acting… Sappy violins for heartfelt moments… Happy 80's rock to show having a good time… Serious 80's rock to show the fighting was meaningful… Sappy Asian music to show being honorable… And so on… You don't meet someone and spend less then 3 days with them and start to care for them like you do about your own family. This film had lots and lots of heartfelt hoopla when the main character didn't know anyone in the movie longer than 2 days. That really didn't make any sense. All in all, this film was terrible. I would pass if I were you.

There were two main stories in the film. One is a very touching story about a retired martial artist with a bad shoulder. He lost his wife, and now has a 5 year old son and lives with his mom. He gets invited to try out for the US National Karate Team, and he decides to do it.

The other is a heartfelt story about a young martial artist who just wants to make himself, as well as his family proud.

This is a very touching, and VERY emotional film. Storytelling was very bad, and the amounts of heartfelt montages were just too much for me to handle. Even so, the acting was very good, the character development was done well, and the fighting scenes were GREAT! One of the best American-made martial arts movies I've seen. Go ahead and give this one a chance. You might be surprised.

This movie was about a deceiving male-chauvinist who tricked his wife into thinking that he loved her. After years of marriage the fact that he's cheating on her becomes evident to her and she wants to leave but he still wants her. He never says he'll stop cheating on her, and in fact he doesn't intend to and he makes that evident as well. She sees how crazy he really is, and will not stop until her and her child or safe and without him.

Very poorly told… Very bad acting… Very predictable… This film isn't something you should ever worry about seeing. There's absolutely nothing special about it. Really the only thing that keeps your attention is the fact that her husband is VERY bluntly chauvinistic… Go ahead and pass on this one unless you're really bored, or just don't feel like watching a good film

The Devil's Backbone tells the story of a small shelter for young boys in the middle of a desert at the time of war. They are not jailed in, and are free to leave whenever they like. The outside world is very dangerous for them so they pretty much stay secluded from all of it.

The only problem is that there are also dangers on the inside, just not so noticeable. Secrets… Lies… Deceit… At the bottom of it all, a very smart group of unsuspecting young boys.

Some of the best effects I've seen in any film. The innovative story telling abilities of director Guillermo Del Toro are undeniable. A must see for any fan of well made films.

Every time I watch this film, I get something different out of it. It never stops being one of the best horror films I've ever seen. Genuinely scary and just gory enough to keep you making silly faces while you watch it.

This film tells the story of a child murderer who was "unjustly" killed by the local parents. That spawned his fury into him now living on in the dreams (nightmares…) of their children.

A story not to be missed! Some very innovative horror scenes, which helped lay out a lot of what people would call 'cliché horror' now days. This was one of the very first films to have those kinds of things. The character development was horrible, and the acting wasn't very good besides for a very young Johnny Depp.

Still, a must for EVERY horror fan… Don't miss this film!

This little film was amazing. Brilliantly done, and imaginatively insane! All the misshapen people... All the brilliantly written music... All the characters being individuals...

A work of art, to say the least. It was great for anyone. The musical scenes were perfect. Not to short... Not to long... Just right for my taste. Usually songs in musicals just go on so long, or the music is so repetitive that you want to poke your eyeballs out. The music was catchy, and the lyrics told the story beautifully.

I would recommend this movie to anyone. A must see for any regular film watcher!

A very weird tale about a lesbian girl, semi-losing her mind from a combination of past events, and her present preferences. She is an artist, with an emphasis on photography. She suddenly starts becoming obsessed with taking pictures of death.

Her friends don't really take that very well. They think it's psycho, and so do other people that you wouldn't really call her "friends"...

All in all a very good movie. If you're into Asian films, especially those with a chilling twist... This ones for you! The director portrayed losing your mind very well in my opinion, which I didn't really expect because the main character was very good looking. Making her lesbian made me think that it was going to try and make her looks sell the picture... I was very wrong. This film was written very well, and the character development was nothing short of amazing.

I really don't know what people were thinking about giving this film such a hard time. None of the other Rocky films were horrible, why would this one suddenly be? I agree, there were some cheesy things that obviously would have to happen to justify him fighting so old. But, he did a very good job writing in certain twists to make the story make a bit more sense how it could actually happen. I went into the movie expecting scene after scene to be cheesy. I was actually surprised by the lack of cheesiness, granted it had a bit.

This was a very heartfelt film. It was definitely going back to the kind of movie the first one was, not spending too much time on the fighting part of the story. The fighting was toned down quite a bit in this one, probably so Stallone could acquire a PG rating.

The film is rightfully rated PG, and I would recommend it to any age group. Just a touching story about caring, friendship and love. An excellent way to end the Rocky series...

Just like most Zhang Yimou films, this one was beautiful. I love the way he incorporates solid bright colors to capture the mood of the scenes. Just like Hero and House Of Flying Daggers, bright colors were everywhere. In every shot, and in every scene. The acting was amazing. Each characters mannerisms portrayed their character perfectly. Lots and lots of secrets and lies creeped in and out of the story. As it slowly unveils, you see yourself intrigued to the point where you would never be able to stop watching until the movie is over. So many secrets... So many lies... There were too many for the movie to end perfectly. The climax was so long that there was no way the ending was going to be able to put it all together without flaw... The action scenes were amazing. Packed with blood and honor. I don't see what else you would want from a war scene. All in all a beautiful, brilliantly written tale about China's Tang Dynasty. Just a bit over the top in the secrets area... Brilliant Film!

There was absolutely nothing wrong with this film. The camera shots were perfect. The colors were perfect. The soundtrack was perfect. The acting was perfect. The character development was perfect. The story was perfect. This movie had every emotion you can think of in it, from laughter to fear, from resentfulness to heartfelt. The dialog was completely flawless. Every single sentence was written to have meaning. No needless quips or ridiculously written tag-lines, which is VERY rare in American cinema. The way M. Night used the script and the character development to tell the story was unbelievably flawless... If you didn't like this film you know nothing about flawlessly beautiful cinema. This film was perfect!
