Regardless of my many drunken friends incessantly urging me to see this movie "The Human Centipede", the name alone always compelled me to stay away. However, when amongst the same mindset as my friends, and in an environment where there were several other first time watchers, I was suckered into it. Suffice to say, it was a terrible movie, as the name implied. Absolutely grotesque and awful in the worst imaginable ways. Disgusting and revolting are understatements for this travesty of a film. Why I stayed for the entire thing? Your guess is as good as mine. I do not recommend this movie unless you want to fully disturb your girlfriend to the point where she questions your taste in cinema so much that she doubts the relationship you have, or something equally terrible. This is an atrocity, just like the name implies. Don't watch it, I did and it was a mistake.

I have always been a fan of gangster flicks, however I have almost never been a fan of TV series'. That is, until I came across this gem. The Sopranos easily took the cake for the best TV series I have ever seen and probably ever will see (with the close contender being The Wire). I have never been so overjoyed to watch a seemingly overweight man trudge through the many perils of bi-family life while maintaining a harsh demeanor and cruel drive for success. The only bad part of this show is the end. Not the end, but the fact that it did end. I only wish there was more of it to watch. This show is an excellent Mafia portrayal and one of the best I have ever seen. The Sopranos set the TV show bar so high for me that I do not think that any show will ever surpass how I feel about the Sopranos. I do not recommend this show to my friends, I demand they watch it! This is TV series enlightenment.

This movie, Schindler's List, is hands-down without a doubt one of the greatest films I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. Regardless of how much praise I include in my review, I should still think it deserves more. Few movies are actually able to pull tears out of my stubborn eyes, and the two that come right to mind are this one, and It's a Wonderful Life. Schindler's List is a grim portrayal of events in the Holocaust, while at the same time actually bringing light to some of the humanity still there. I was embarrassed when I actually started clapping in that classroom where I first watched this movie. I'd recommend it to anybody and it remains in my top selection of movies. Outstanding.

I have seen some very good films in my life, of that there is no doubt. This one though, Frank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life" I remember the first time I watched it, it was the holiday season I think my sophomore year of High School. Being a high schooler I tried extremely hard not t let my tears show, but it was no use, and I could see similar failures around the classroom. I haven't seen a movie that could reach such an emotional level with me since, probably the only one that ever came close was Lion King, when I was 5. This movie will always be on my top 5 list, and so far no contender has got even close to removing it from the #1, and 64 years after this movie has been made there still isn't, that is really saying something.

Although I have always been a fan of the idea of Captain America, a patriotic flick sure to put a smile on anybody's face, this did no such thing. I was unfortunately so perturbed by this film that I had to stop watching before I even reached the halfway point. Although the action scenes are well... Actiony, they are ridiculous and unsatisfying. Not to mention a terrible story line, and just terrible acting. I would like to think that this film was targeted at a specific age group 5-10yrs old, and that is why I felt it was not good. Take into consideration that I am not a comic book fan, have never read any CA books, or seen any of the previous versions, so my opinion may be biased.
