24 (2001–2010)

The Most Explosive and Action-Packed TV Show EVER!

[10/10 · 28 March 2006]

24 is the most amazing show I have ever seen. The Real-Time approach the show introduced was supremely innovative and original. With very real stories and cliffhangers that could make a person insane, 24 has it all. T his is truly an off-your-seat thriller/action TV show. There is not a single boring moment, as it is pure adrenaline each hour. The cast of each new season is perfectly selected, and the music of each episode is so moving and well executed. Another addition to the show is that it doesn't waste time with a theme/introduction video, instead it summaries the previous events and goes straight into the action!

I have been a fan since day (hour) one, and I hope that 24 will be with us for years to come. Enjoy, I know you will. 10/10

Lighthouse (1999)

One of the best slasher films I have ever seen

[9/10 · 28 October 2005]

This movie is a lot like the movies High Tension, and Creep. It revolves around a lighthouse with a killer on the loose, knocking off every few minutes one more casualty. Although the story is nothing original, the writing, and directing are top-notch and worthy. The movie looks, and feels like a high-budget, blockbuster movie. From my Country of Origin, this movie has a very thrilling and is one of the best slasher films I have ever seen.

This is the first lighthouse type movie I have ever seen, and I think it will remain the best for a while (in my perspective!).

For the overall work and amazing atmosphere, I give this movie a cheering 9/10.

Frostbite (2005 Video)

Horrible Movie

[1/10 · 27 October 2005]

This movie is beyond Horrible AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! I want my hour and 20 minutes back!!!

Not funny AT ALL, you can watch this movie without laughing or even smiling once. Swears spill out of the speakers like a waterfall, each one getting more annoying as the last, and not contributing to the comedy OR plot (general comedy - not this movie in general!).

All in all, its a lame-a$5, watered-down -typed- "Out Cold"ish movie - But Tremendously Awful. The movie focuses around two groups of a city Poories and Richies (how obviously dumb is that?), where the two opposites have snowboard battles with each other. (story is much like a 4-year-old's bed time story without all the swears and stupid jokes)

MOVIE - 1/10 - because you can't give any lower scores

Doom (2005)

Great Movie

[9/10 · 27 October 2005]

This movie was REALLY GOOD. It was more of an ACTION/SCI-Fi movie than a Horror, but it was still really well done. The special effects here were LIFELIKE and I could not tell them from real aspects of the movie. Great ending, and OF ALL, THE BEGINNING WAS Awesome. The BFG was a really cool aspect of the movie, although it didn't get used too much. The Rock was good in this movie, but the best actor was Karl Urban, because he was in Chronicles Of Riddick. I would compare this movie to Pitch Black, like everyone else. This is a movie you should watch, especially if you have never played the video game(s) before.

All in all, I give this a: 9/10

Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies (1999 Video)

I like this movie. **potential Spoiler

[7/10 · 27 October 2005]

This movie is A lot like the first few Hellraiser movies. For a movie made in 1999, its got pretty awful special effects, and the real OLD looking GORE scenes (Which I love) (like from Hellraiser 1+2, and Dead Alive). To summarise, this movie was made in 1999, but looks like it was made in the mid 1980's.

The majority of the WISHES granted in this film ended in a comical TWIST of what was asked - much like the (so-so) movie, BEDAZZLED

Andrew Divoff was really great in this film, joke here, joke there, but really serious-looking. Holly Fields was very good in this movie, all of her scenes were great :) . All in all, if you are a fan of Hellraiser/Dead Alive, you will appreciate and enjoy this entertaining piece.

7/10 for a great movie

Chasing Ghosts (2005)

More like a boring, 2-hour CSI episode.

[3/10 · 27 October 2005]

Movie was quite boring, didn't bring much to the screen...

It is EXACTLY like a 2 HOUR version of one of the boring CSI episodes. Just drawn-out over 2 hours!. Now don't get me wrong, I LIKE CSI, but some of the episodes are just too slow to bare!

I would not recommend this movie, and it is mostly boring-police dialogue. If you are looking for an ACTION movie, you have chosen the wrong movie, this movie is more like a detective-drama.

If you are looking for a movie that resembles SAW, SEVEN, or Silence of the Lambs, this is not the movie to see. Unlike those three movies, Chasing Ghosts has a bad plot, reasonably bad cast (Madsen was fine as his usual self!), and watered-down action (when there was any action!).

MOVIE : 3/10 - Didn't like the movie.
