Why Isn't This In Top 250?!!!
4 January 2009
I cried multiple times in this film. This is the best anti-drug film i have ever seen. Leonardo Dicaprio gives a great performance in this role as Jim Carroll and looks like he would when he was younger. I have never read any of the book or heard any of his music or read any of his poems but Jim Carroll seems like he had a tough life growing up with a heroin addiction. The drug sequences in this movie are very scary. He could have died at any time. I am wanting my mum to see this movie but she never has time for anything so hopefully soon i will be able to get her to view it. Also the display of the hooker and Jim and how the tables can turn can really turn you off drugs. Also the rape scene between Jims coach and himself is really frightening and disgusting because there are people like that in this world that do much more worse things than that. Anyway, go and see this movie. It is the greatest movie ever and i just don't know why this isn't in the top 250.

Space Channel 5: Part 2 (2002 Video Game)
10/10
I wish......
15 November 2008
If only there was another Space Channel 5 or they made a movie about it. That would make me the happiest person in world. This game is the most entertaining musical game ever. Ulala returns to save the Universe once again and its the last taste we get of it. The only voices that haven't changed are Ulala (Apollo Smile) and Space Michael (Michael Jackson). This time he has a more major role than the previous Space Channel 5. Also another feature of this game is you not only play as Ulala but also other characters in the game at certain times. You change into new and more exciting costumes and you get to play all kinds of instruments like the guitar and the drums and even get Michael to sing. The lyrics show up at the bottom of the screen so you get to sing along if you want to. For my copy in Australia i payed $90.00 to get it just this year but it is so incredible rare i would pay 100 more just to play it once. You also have to option to play 2 player where one player has control of the directional buttons and the other has control of the X button and the O button so you have to co-operate together to finish. One other option is the 1 or 2 player Ulala Dance Off where you have 200 levels and you copy the persons dance moves to move on and have them on your side to dance with you on the levels coming up. A special feature just on this Space Channel 5 is the Changing Room where you can get and use different costumes you earn each time you play. For example when you finish the first level without screwing up once then you get a costume and each character you save can be used as a clothing option. Yes Space Channel 5: Part 2 is the best sequel in video game history and if only it were to be made into a Movie.

I wish......

That Poor Fat Woman
2 August 2008
I just had to comment on this movie for a few reasons. i will explain the title in a second. This comedy has quite a few giggles. it doesn't really make me laugh deep down but it makes me chuckle for a little while. The sound effects are used as jokes as well. For example. When the taxi driver is driving bill murray he runs a cat over and cat screams. but you never see it happen. then near the end the man gets angry on the phone and then kicks a cat but you never see that either. When the ghost of Christmas past comes along she throws her wand away and then the sound of glass breaking occurs. you never see the glass break. later on she does the same thing and it hits glass but nothing is seen. This movie made me cry in the end and in the middle. very dramatic elements. Now referring to the title. During the end scene, bill murray asks how his hostages are doing with his crazy friend. so the crazy friend decides to make the hostages party and there is a fat woman who is sitting at the desk and is trying to do the chicken dance but is crying while she partys. It makes me feel so happy watching that fat woman struggle and suffer while crying in fright. it is almost pleasurable because she is fat and is flapping around suffering suffering suffering!!! I suggest you watch it to see that part of the woman suffering and crying. it is probably the best part in the entire movie.

Silent Hill (2006)

Holy C**p
19 April 2008
Christophe Gans deserves to be shot. He ruined this movie like no end. The video games are extremely scary but when he filmed this he made it like my little pony. I am very happy that he is not directing the sequel. he really ruined this one. anyway, this movie has some disturbing elements in it but you can simply watch it. a 5 year old could watch this. there is a bit of gore and violence which is OK but its not good enough. i think he made a completely different movie with the tiniest sub plot from number one in the video games and gave it the name "Silent Hill". I cannot believe how much he ruined this movie. don't watch this movie unless you intend to smile and laugh at what a bad movie it is.

Christmas Lights Death?
4 April 2008
Hmm. i enjoyed this movie a lot but i was a bit upset when i didn't see anything with "Christmas lights". In the movie trailer it shows a woman first being dragged over a ledge by Christmas lights and then being pulled towards the Christmas lights collector and that wasn't in the movie and also on the same trailer a girl is shown rubbing the ground perhaps looking for something and then finds a frozen body and it bursts its way out of the ice and reaches up. Both of these things were not in the film which made me extremely upset and the front cover shows a person entangled in Christmas lights too. if anybody knows where i can see this can they please send me a message. this film was very good and i cannot really decide between this one and the original one. this one reminded me of the remake of house of wax in a way. very good and i suggest you see it if you can take violent eyeball scenes.

Chu Chu Chu Chu Right Left Down
14 March 2008
This game is definitely the funnest game in the entire world. great story and a really good idea to give your brain a memory booster. Very cool costumes, of course i would never wear one of them but they have a good design. really cool setting and final bosses. believe it or not they have the actual michael jackson doing himself in this game. its on the final report so you have to work for it. The voice for evila one of the final bosses in the game is really cool. the controls are really hard to get used to but you will eventually get there. this game was originally created for the SEGA Dreamcast but it has been released for PlayStation2 too. Very rare so if you ever see you must get it even if it cost a million dollars it definitely will be worth it.

The Descent (2005)

Who Am I ?
22 February 2008
What the hell is going on. Does this movie exist. This movie has absolutely changed my life forever. I gave my friend $20 for suggesting this movie to me. This Director was the same guy as Dog Soldiers which was the same kind of movie but this movie was Everything. I don't know what this movie is. (Sorry i am using so many weird sentences but its the only way to describe this movie) The ending to this movie was an unconclusional one like the original story "The Birds". The Creature design could have been a bit better than pointed ears and weird eyes. After they get trapped the whole movie from there on is freakin scary. This movie deserves to have a sequel but i don't know if i could handle it. Once you have witnessed this movie you will never be able to speak again. Go out and watch it this very second.

It Makes You Breathe In At The End.
18 February 2008
When I first heard about this movie it was in the video nasty list. As soon as I saw the name i thought oh my goodness that looks very good. and boy was i right. This movie has a very entertaining storyline which was based on a true crime which happened in Belgium. Anita Ekberg i think did the best role as this and she is a very very talented actor, for example when Peter asks her why did she kill Janoh she reacts in a way which i never would ever be able to if i was acting. For some odd reason people think that Joe Dallesandro shouldn't have been picked for his role because this movie isn't what he specializes in but i think it was one of his best roles yet. The sex scenes and the nudity are a bit pointless in this movie but i do feel that they have been placed appropriately through the movie. When you see Anita Ekberg in the rain looking at the old woman and man doing things to each other "wink" "wink". Her facial expression explains everything that is going on in her mind. She is filled with so much rage it looks like she is about to explode like in the movie Contamination. Now, when it comes to the end when everything gets explained. The musical score really put chills up your spine and "IT MAKES YOU BREATHE IN". Also just in the opening shot of the movie, the priest is actually the director of the movie. You must see this movie and if you don't you will go insane and take morphine and become a lesbian and kill the elderly patients in the hospital. Believe me this movie can never ever ever be missed.

1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 out of 10.

Most Entertaining Amityville
22 January 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Warning, This Comment Contains Spoilers For 2 Other Movies. I have seen all of the Amityville movies and i say this one tops the lot in the most entertaining column. I am very surprised that this movie was based on a book and came out on TV. Lots of interesting features have been added into this movie. For example, the evil escapes through an ugly looking lamp from the power cord and goes into a different house the same way but in reverse. Now the Food Remains Grinder scene is one of the best scenes i have ever seen. It is very good that they show the boys hand getting ground up and spurting blood on everyone instead of having a stupid camera angle that makes everybody get upset. It is also good that it actually ground up his hand. I have seen the grinder scenes in final destination 2 and halloween h2o and the grinding never happened. Very entertaining ending with lots of character commotion but a very ugly cast i must say. All the straight-to-video Amityville films are very rare over here in Australia and this one is the second most rare, so if you see this, hire it or buy it as soon as you can.

Approach With Caution
22 January 2008
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is absolutely the most funnily stupid entertaining movie i have ever seen. I wish to have a little chat with the writers about this film. They made the Aliens more advanced so it had a little chance against the Predator Species. Against the humans the Aliens have a big chance winning against the humans but if they don't upgrade the Aliens in this film then the movie would be finished in 25 minutes. If you have seen the Predator movies then you would understand that they would never be friends with humans ever and that they wouldn't join forces and do the same things together. Also since when have the Predator Species been able to understand human language and behavior exactly, sure they have a recordable dictionary but they have had to be at over 20 planets in their lifetime. In the end when the Pyramid explodes, it is probably the funniest thing i have ever seen when the Predator and the woman are running in slow mo away from the explosion. And in the end when the Alien jumps out of the predators chest with the Predator Horned Lips what the hell does it mean, that its on both sides now. And i cannot remember a Face Hugger going for that Predators Face. They have changed so much of the Predators advanced equipment it is like a whole new Species. If you are an "Alien" Fan, you may like this movie. If you are a "Predator" Fan then avoid this movie to the best of your ability. Sometimes Death is a better option than watching a bad movie.

Rent It As Soon As You Can
21 January 2008
This was a bloody excellent movie. I would see this again and again and again. Very good cast selection and Halle Berry looks so different in 1996. This has got a couple of jumps and stuff in it and I was so thrilled by the suspense that i accidentally pierced my arm rest on my chair with my fingernails. Now over here in Australia, apparently this movie doesn't exist, but I saw a copy in a DVD store and luckily it was rated MA so i got it straight away and i was so excited about it, i had to hit myself. Very good cast, direction, acting, sets and if you live in Australia and you see a copy of this movie, get it straight away because it is extremely rare since it is only on video now and they have stopped all production of videos. If somebody says this is a chick flick, they have no idea what this movie is.

Scary Movie 4 (2006)
2/10
Least Funniest "Movie"
14 January 2008
This movie was so bad i have no idea why anybody would think it was funny. Out of all the "movies", this one is definitely the worst. David Zucker has probably squeezed all the juice out of his comedies and is just trying too hard. This is more of an attempted Austin Powers comedy movie than a scary movie. It doesn't really follow any specific movie like 1 which is mainly Scream, 2 which is mainly three main ones Amityville Horror, The Exorcist and Poltergeist and 3 doesn't follow any movie mainly but at least its funny. Date Movie was OK but Epic Movie was dreadful too but not as bad as Scary Movie 4. Scary Movie 5 will hopefully be better with most of the original cast of the 1. Try to Avoid but if you want to see them all go ahead.

Hellraiser: Inferno (2000 Video)
5/10
Definitely Different
24 December 2007
Warning: Spoilers
There is a lot to say about this movie. Where should I start? OK this is not like any of the other Hellraiser movies. This movie is more a drama than a horror. There should have been more cenobite action. The cenobite designs are the best but they don't kill anybody. There is hardly any Pinhead at all. I think Doug Bradley is very disappointed with his role in this one. Pinhead only appears at the very start for nearly 4 seconds, and in the end for a short scene. The wire twins are probably the best cenobites and they pierce the detectives skin with their fingernails and move their hands underneath his skin. But the Torso one doesn't do anything but look pretty. There is weird faceless killer who is probably the main lead cenobite because he is the one that does all the murders. This is the only unhappy ending in the Hellraiser series and it really disappointed me because he didn't even get a chance to escape the cenobites. He was stuck in eternal hell since he solved the puzzle box. It really peed me off. Most of the deaths of the people are done off screen which was really upsetting and so I am very surprised that this movie was rated R over in Australia here. It deserves to either be an M or an MA. This movie was kinda scary because of the silent then sudden jump parts but I don't think it will scare you if it didn't have those parts. Overall this movie is one to see but you might not want to watch it again for a long time. I hope this comment helps you out a bit.

The Red Shoes (2005)
10/10
Actually....
23 November 2007
Yeah sure they are pink shoes but its a metaphor. They are "red" because of all the blood and gore and stuff. Get it. Anyway this movie is excellent. It is definitely not what i expected. It is surprisingly emotional, sad and beautiful. There is lots if disgusting blood and gore thats for sure and its the goriest part in the first subway scene. This movie also has an interesting story line based in the hans Christian anderson tale "the red shoes". It also has the first sex scene sort of thing i have ever seen in an Asian film. It will haunt my dreams forever. It has fights between the mother and the 5 year old daughter which makes you just want to scream at the screen STOP. because it is such good acting. It is so horrible in a good way that they would hurt and kill each others family just to have the shoes.

Silent Hill 3 (2003 Video Game)
10/10
Scariest.
19 August 2007
This is a little fact for you here. "Silent Hill 3" is the scariest game in history. I am not joking it seriously is. If you ever play this game. it will make you want to scream and shout while your playing because it is so scary. The girl who you play as will get your juices going. The character and monster design is incredible and amazingly realistic. Some of the monsters which you meet throughout the game will haunt your dreams forever. Definitely not for the weak hearted and if your a fan of the series well then i suggest you get a copy of this fast because it was very hard to get mine believe me. and all those sound effects will make you want to kill yourself if you hear them in real life. The music i really great especially in the opening. so if you wanna to scare the crap out of yourself get this game but if silent hill 2 scared you. don't let the thought of playing it cross your mind.

007: Nightfire (2002 Video Game)
10/10
Best game in the world!!!
19 August 2007
I have to say when i played this at my friends house for the first time in multiplayer then i thought this game was so good i had to get it so i got it and when i played through the Nightfire Adventure i was so stunned i could not believe it. The game play is the best and so is the scenario in each level. There are underwater levels and there are levels in japan and everything your wildest imaginings can dream of are in this game. the multiplayer is so good because in some levels you can go and ride cable cars across large canyons and rise around in vehicles and it is something which i would kill for if somebody tryed to take it away from me. it is just a game that cannot be missed for all of eternity. This is one of the best games and you must buy your own copy because you can unlock characters in your account from all the movie from start to finish. It contains everything you can dream of. it even has a trailer for the james bond film "Die Another Day". I could go on and on and waste all this precious valuable time to play 007 nightfire so i will wrap it up. If you don't buy this game you are crazy in the coconuts if you buy this game then you are amazing and i thank you so much for getting one of the best and most entertaining games in the world. Believe my you have not wasted one cent of your money.

Oh my goodness.
19 August 2007
These games are amazing. I cannot believe somebody could come up with something so beautifully scary and entertaining. This one is the only one which doesn't have a cruelty and violence warning before you start playing. This one is so entertaining and interesting its just amazing it is so good that they come up with something so incredibly and crazily scary. I played this in the middle of the day and lots of noise around me and it still scared the hell out of me. The graphics are great along with the character design and other things like that. All the songs to the silent hill games are so good i have every one on my i pod. The openings to these games are incredible too. They have such good p.v.i or whatever they call it in the little movie things. But it as soon as you can.

007: Agent Under Fire (2001 Video Game)
3/10
Meh
19 August 2007
Good to play as a game but not very interesting storyline. Fun to play but if you want a fun storyline with great graphics and gameplay then you need 007: nightfire. Its weird because you don't get to meet the characters or know their personalities or anything. its just oh hello *bang* *bang* *drive* *drive* *kill* *kill*. nothing pretty much to do. its very easy as well. like when you have to defeat a weird clone you jut have to shoot him 2 times if you have a shotgun or "frinensi". The driving is weird too. its like you have all these weird gadgets which don't help you out at all with you mission. its like they are there for decoration. When i first bought this game it was a million miles from where i lived and so i brought it home and tryed to play it but wouldn't work and i couldn't go and take it back either. so i was stuck with it and so today when i bought it i played through the first mission and i was so excited because i thought that it would be like that for the entire first level but no it completely changed the level after. so i say if you wan to waste your money go right ahead but if yuor looking for a good game steer away from this one.

The Dread (2007)

Oh My God!!
17 August 2007
Warning: Spoilers
When i saw the cover for this movie i thought OMG this is going to be the scariest movie and goriest movie i have ever seen but Jesus Christ i have never seen a worse movie in my whole life. The acting is fine but the picture quality is like soap opera show quality and the effects are bad too and the storyline is probably the worse. you cant connect with the characters or anything. There is a horrible half sex scene which is pointless and the killer just plays video games there is no plot and you don't like properly get to meet the characters. And the mental hospital is sooo bad i cant stand it. the rooms have other doors in there and electricity boxes too. its like they made a movie for a school contest its so bad. and there are only a few characters as well and some of the patients just simply walk around the hospital and the killer costume design is the worst i have ever seen. its like he is dressed to go to a halloween dance party. the coat thing he wears is like what i would wear to school or something and he is wearing a mask which you could buy at your local supermarket. its not original but its not interesting. and in the final bossfight its like *jab* oh well hes dead and im him now OK then lets show the end credits now which go at 100km an hour.
