House of the Dead (2003)
Terrible horror flick!
I gave this movie a 2.
"House Of The Dead" was truly awful. Though the movie did have a good plot and some "make-you-jump" scenes, that didn't make up for the HORRIBLE acting. Some of the actors had me laughing instead of frightened. Though it is scary when you think that someone can actually act that badly. The cinematography was just as bad. I totally did not like how the movie cut to clips of the video game. That was rather annoying. I only finished this movie cause of the cute guys in it.
I thought this movie was stupid and wouldn't recommend it.
Cold Creek Manor (2003)
Bad scary movie
I gave this movie a 2. "Cold Creek Manor" was disappointing. I was mislead by the trailer I saw, which indicated to me a house that possessed supernatural beings. This wasn't the case at all. The movie ran into scenes that were slow and left me bored, waiting for a big event to happen. I thought the plot was rather dumb. It seemed choppy to me. Like I said earlier, I was expecting something totally different when I rented it, so when I finished watching "Cold Creek Manor" I was left un-entertained. The acting was good, the big names did well. It was just a bad movie. The ending seemed too storybook for everything that had just happened before. I didn't like this movie and wouldn't recommend it.
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Great zombie movie!
I gave this movie a 9. I thought "Dawn Of The Dead" was not a typical scary zombie movie. I haven't seen the original, which this movie was a re-make of, so I can't compare them. The movie kept your attention from start to finish. The plot was good. There is even some humor thrown in, which I enjoyed. There were some new faces starring in this movie alongside some well known actors, but they all did well. They had the stereotypical "dumb" character, (the one that makes you yell at the screen; "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! YOU ARE SO STUPID!") but you can't have a scary movie without him/her. "Dawn Of The Dead" scared me like it was supposed to, but didn't try so hard that it became ridiculous (like some other horror movies usually appear to me). The ending was left rather unresolved, so I am left to question a sequel. Overall it was entertaining and I would recommend it.
The Company (2003)
An excuse to put some productions on tape!
I gave this movie a 2. I thought "The Company" was awful. I believe this was really a bunch of productions on video instead of a movie. That would have been fine if they hadn't mislead viewers. I think the scenes in between the dance performances were a bad attempt to make it a movie. It wasn't a movie at all. There was NO plot. The movie was extremely slow; I even dozed off a few times. BUT, the actual dance productions were good. But like I said, it was rather misleading to have this in the movie store when it wasn't really a movie. I don't think the acting was good because they weren't acting towards a conclusion. The ending was bad too, or lack there of. The cashier told me it was bad and didn't recommend it. I wish I had taken her advice. I would not recommend this to anyone who isn't the least bit interested in dance. Those people will really dislike it.
The Clearing (2004)
BAD Suspense Thriller
I gave this movie a 2. I was very disappointed in "The Clearing". I didn't even know of this movie until I saw it in the movie store. It looked really good, and I was expecting it to be great since it starred Robert Redford, Helen Mirren, and Willem Dafoe. Unfortunately, it wasn't so. The plot was good but not enough to make the movie good. The movie was slow. I sat through the whole movie suspense-ridden only to be led to an un-thrilling ending. I didn't like the acting. It seemed to me that the characters weren't worried enough and didn't show enough emotion for the circumstance. It didn't seem realistic. Maybe the director was going for another non-common viewpoint to the reaction of such an event. I'm not sure, but overall it was not entertaining.
Breakin' All the Rules (2004)
Good romantic comedy
Gave this movie a 9. "Breakin' All The Rules" was a cute movie. The trailer looked promising and I was expecting a lot since Jamie Foxx was starring. I liked all his previous movies and was hoping he would keep the trend with this one. It provided a lot of laughs thus fitting its classification as a "romantic comedy". The movie wasn't slow at all. It also had a good plot which kept my attention; it's kinda messed up when you think about the concept though! The actors were funny and portrayed their characters well (love the pug!). Peter Macnicol's character was great. Overall it was entertaining.
