Bug
Bug (2006)
My Rating - 4/5
Way back before this movie came out Lionsgate was at a convention passing out free promotional items and posters. Shane and I grabbed a Bug poster as well as most of the other free crap. At some point we ended up puting it on our ceiling as a filler with intent to watch it and take it down if we didn’t like the movie (which reminds me, I need to take down...

ZA: Zombies Anonymous
ZA: Zombies Anonymous (2006)
My Rating - 3/5
Budget as fuck!
People become zombies when they die, they live with us, they are not flesh eaters and apparently being a zombie who survies off of eating raw meat gives you horrible headaches. There is a crew of zombie haters who do not want them around and form a zombie killing militia. We watch this chick who is killed by her dumb guido boyfriend...

Baby Mama
Baby Mama (2008)
My Rating - 3/5
Why wasn’t this movie better? With Tina Fey and Amy Poehler together you would think it would be hilarious. Tina Fey was pretty tame and if it wasn’t for Amy Poehler there would have been very few laughs mostly coming from Steve Martin. I guess it is decent if you watch it on a sleepy night or a hungover Sunday morning but other than that not really...

Slaughterhouse Five
Slaughterhouse Five (1972)
My Rating: 4.5/5
Ehh, I cannot even think of how to describe this movie. When it first came in the mail I though it was a slasher movie (title), Shane explained to me what it was about which made me totally uninterested. He mentioned time travel and space, that is a turn off for me, but it is way beyond that.
I will not try to explain because I will not do this...

Date with an Angel
Date with an Angel (1987)
My Rating - 2.5/5
Late night On-Demand pick. I figured, okay, its an 80’s movie with Phoebe Cates in it, it can’t be that bad.
Phoebe Cates with the worst haircut ever and her fiance are having an engagement party at her rich parents house. Three burgerlers crash the party and kidnaps her fiance. It turns out they are his doofus friends and they are...

Exte: Hair Extensions (2007)
My Rating: 4/5
This guy works in a morgue, he has an obession with hair and whenever a girl with pretty hair ends up in the morgue he cuts it off and sells it to beauty salons for hair extensions. This one chick who was found dead inside of cargo crates filled with hair ends up at this morgue. When she arrives she is bald, but eventually her hair starts to grow....

The Promotion
The Promotion (2008)
My Rating - 2.5/52
I put it on as a sleep movie and fell alseep half an hour into it. I finished it up the next following night. Two losers wanting the same job of being the manager of a grocery store. Since it stars John C. Reilly and Seann Willaim Scott you can predict how the movies is going to be. It was not as funny as I expected it to be and if John C. Reilly...

Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)
My Rating - 4/5
I actually though this was really cute and funny. Usually these types of movies are pretty standard with nothing more to offer than any other Rom-Com. Somehow this brought more, I cant’ really figure out what it brought though. This just seems different than the rest. Actually I don’t feel right calling it a Rom-Com. Oh yeah, I never...

The Host (2006)
My Rating - 4.5/5
This movie has been sitting in a “to watch” pile next to the DVD player for almost a year now and I’ve been wanting to watch it for longer than that. Such a good movie! Its sad and depressing but still is able to be slightly humorus without breaking the mood.

Monsters Vs. Aliens (2009)

My Rating - 4/5
Ash really wanted to see it so we surprised him by taking him to see it. It wasnty playing in 3D locally so we had to go to Poughkeepsie. The 3D glasses are not the paper ones with the red and blue channels anymore, they are plastic and makes everyone look like Buddy Holley. The 3D is much more effective than in the bast. The movie...

Saw 5
Saw 5 (2008)
My Rating - 2.5/5
We had a free rental code from Redbox so Shane picked a random movie from there and he picked Saw 5. Shane and I are not really Saw fans, we just watch them for the sake of watching them I guess, You basically know what you are getting into and by the time you watch the first couple you already are familiar with the franchise and you figure why not just continue...

Last House on the Left (remake) (2009)
Watched 3/20/09
My Rating - 4/5
I really appreciated that this remake stayed true to the tone and mood of the original. It was dark and gritty, it made you want to take a shower afterwards. Also the expected character cliches were missing which is odd when it comes to remakes and I really appreciated that too.
I think this version did a much better job...

Milk (2008)
My Rating - 5/5
What an amazing touching movie! It is incredible to see what one man did for the gay community and to see how one man who is fucked up can destroy him. I cannot believe that Dan White only did 5 years for murdering 2 politicians, because of the fucking Twinkie defence!!!!

I loved it!
About a little boy you wis kinda odd, he is akward and gets bullied at school, he has no friends. A little girl moves into the apartment building and they soon become friends. The little girl is a vampire, her “father” like character kills and drains the victims of their blood to bring back to her. He dies so she is left on...

I’ve gotten over my hate of Jack Black & his constipated acting. I actually sometimes look forward to watching some of his dumb movies because I know they will be just that dumb and usually funny. I put this on as I was dying my hair, knowing I didn’t REALLY have to pay attention. This movie was a pile of shit, it was a little funny.

Surprisingly a first time watch for me. I am glad I waited because if I were to have seen it when I was younger then I probably would have been bored and hated it.
I love how his cheeks get hairy when he goes Drac.
I am shocked that Ash recongnized William Marshall as King of Cartoons. Ash loved this movie by the way! How many 6 year olds do you know likes...

Late night try to go to sleep pick. I am shocked I put it on since John Travolta is in it but since since Salma Hayek & her titties (not naked titties) are in it I gave it a chance.
Based on a true story that takes place in the late 40’s-early 50’s, Raymond Fernandez (Leto) responds to classified ads from desperate women, he pretends to...

Shane took off of work over a month in advance to see this opening day. He was so excited about it, but me on the other and was not. I don’t really care for superhero/comic book moives, I had not read the comic, and quite frankly I thought that Dr. Manhattan looked stupid on the trailer so I really didn’t want to watch it.

Easy Rider
Easy Rider (1969)
My Rating - 4/5
Another first time watch for me. It was good and I think an important film to watch if you are a movie buff. The cinematography was beautiful. I think my only complaint was the what I would call in present day terms as “music video” editing, since this was made in 1969 I cant really call it that or fault it. It was kinda annoying but forgivable...

My Rating - 3/5
Ash has been begging to see it so we got it for him. I am not a fan of most animated movies so this was rather stupid for me and I do think if I was a fan I wouldn’t be very impressed. It has all the “spooky” elements there for me to like it but it just didn’t work. Ash who is 6 liked it though.

Ehhhh…Bruce I know you are a cult icon & no matter what kinda shitty movie you make it will still get watched. After seeing this I think I’ve lost way too much respect to watch anymore garbage he is in unless there is a decent director Behind it.
The above was what I wrote in my paper journal. I now retract the comment about losing...

Watched 2/15/2009
My Rating - 4/5
I went in with really low expectaions so I was not dissapointed. I enjoyed the first 20 minutes the most. The characters were less annoying and more likeable but they were all killed off except for one which leads us to be introduced to the second set of cliches & stereotypes. We have “the hero” who is there to...

This was a late night On-Demand pick something I didn’t mind if I fell alseep to.
This movie was the biggest waste of my life ever. I love dumb comedies but this was beyond dumb. It was pathetic! I only chuckled once & it was a pitty chuckle. This movie made me mad

Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)
My Rating - 4/5
I’ve been wanting to see this since I first heard of it. It is such a great concept: The world is run by one corportaion called GenCo, they loan out body parts on credit, if you don’t pay then the repo man takes the body part back. I’m not goin any further with the details. The mood & the story was great, but the music was...
