Spy School (2008)
1/10
worst movie in years
13 February 2009
I won't get into the details, but this movie has the most ridiculous plot of any movie I've seen in years - even our 10-year old wasn't fooled by this story.

Reasonably good actors, actually - the kids, anyway, the adult actors didn't really deliver... but even with world class actors you couldn't have pulled off this one, so you can't really blame them.

Sheer amateur nonsense! Yikes!

I don't know how this movie received a 5.1 rating - since it has only received about 200 ratings, I can only guess the kids who acted in the movie asked all their friends to rate it.

Silent Hill (2006)
10/10
best horror movie ever
25 June 2006
I haven't seen anything this terrifying in the last 15 years - in my opinion, the best horror movie ever, no contest. Visually it's mind-blowing, and psychologically it really gets under your skin.

Very convincing actors, and I love the way they filmed it, with the camera twisting at nearly impossible angles, like it did in the game. The sound effects are as gruesome and twisted as in the game, and music is the same type of beautiful mellow electronica with those occasional disturbing dischords - but all done in amazingly spatial and immersive surround sound.

The games were scary, but they pale in comparison to this experience. Like many have said, easily the best movie ever based on a game.

Keeping my fingers crossed for a follow-up, and another game!
