Titles You’ve Reviewed

  • DVD: Rambo

    I rate this titleiffyand give it4.0

  • Game: Saints Row

    I rate this titleiffyand give it4.0

    A fun game for the mature gamer

    I must say, I really enjoy this game. Most teenage boys will. The chance to do what you want whenever you want in an open world and to take it over as you see fit is particularly appealing. However, ...

  • DVD: A History of Violence

    I rate this titleiffyand give it5.0

    it's a drama, not an action movie

    One thing that I really disliked was that this movie was advertised an action packed thriller. It is not. It is a Cronenberg film in the vein of Spider. It is slow and thoughtful. This is not ...

  • DVD: Sunshine

    I rate this titleonand give it4.0

    An excellant film

    Wow. Up until the plot twist in the last quarter of the movie, Sunshine was, in my mind, one of the best Sci-fi movies I had seen in a long time. That is, until the movie turns into a slasher flick ...

  • Music: The Eminem Show

    I rate this titleiffyand give it5.0

    One of the few Rap albums I can stand

    I first listened to Eminem around 4th grade. I didn't know what was being talked about. All I knew was that there was cussing and it was edgy and I was breaking school rules by listening to it. Since ...

  • DVD: Pathfinder

    I rate this titleonand give it1.0

    a crap movie

    I understand this was severly budgeted. However, that does not excuse bad filmaking. The movie tries very hard to be edgy and violent, trying to capitalize on the movie 300. Were 300 looked ...

  • Book: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

    I rate this titleoffand give it4.0

    By far the most violent and horrific in the series (spoilers)

    I grew up with the HP books. The first one came out when I was about seven. I have enjoyed all of them, along with their darkening tone. This final book, I really think, has been made for teenagers. ...

  • DVD: Jarhead

    I rate this titleonand give it5.0

    One of the great war movies

    This was truly an excellant film. For one thing, it is extremly funny. But it is much more than that. It is probably as close to modern warfare as can be dipicted in a movie. I have heard a few ...

  • DVD: Cold Mountain

    I rate this titleiffyand give it3.0

    Starts of very promising but it boils down to a poor love story

    I will get it right out in the open. I am not a fan of romance movies. I went into Cold Mountain expecting a Civil War/Drama. It turned out that it was really a romance film. It has one repulsive ...

  • DVD: Vera Drake

    I rate this titleonand give it4.0

    An excellant film, but it has a slow build up

    I found the girst 3 quarters of the film rather dull. The plot was a little hard to follow and seemed to ramble. However, once Vera is arrested and her amazing acting ability is on display, the film ...

  • DVD: Black Book

    I rate this titleiffyand give it3.0

    The somber story of WWII reduced to a popcorn flick

    Palu Vorhefen, who brought us Starship Troopes and Total Recall has now returned to his roots as a Dutch filmaker. And yet, not much as changed. The film really reminded me of starship Troopers: It ...

  • DVD: Kinsey

    I rate this titleiffyand give it2.0

    It tries to say something, but typical studio filmaking brings it down

    In the end, I did not think Kinsey was a very good film. The film seems determined to shock us. It wants to show us the true story behind Alfred Kinsey. But it all comes across as very ...
