It was actually pretty interesting to watch this since this was released before Bundy even got executed. On most part the movie seems to follow the real events pretty accurately. There is always the fact that the last details and such probably weren't yet discovered. But yeah it was good, interesting, Mark Harmon did a good job.

The male beauty here was pretty amazing but otherwise it's just a fill in movie, like the middle child of a trilogy. I haven't read the Hobbit but heard that things that happened in the book, went completely different in this movie. I still don't get why they have to make three movies..but I'll continue my waiting to get the last one. As a fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy I am also rather fond of this movie series. There are flaws but gladly not many major ones.
Also I don't want to rain on this parade (mainly because I am somewhat part of it) but Legolas has clearly gotten old and it shows. You can happily ignore it though, and enjoy the beautifully photoshopped face. Actually quite a lot pretty faces in this movie series. And I definitely don't mind that. It's good to see Legolas back.

Across the Universe (2007)
It was nice, even though I've never been a Beatles fan. Actually I've never really listened to them properly but I thought the songs were mixed into the movie quite nicely.

Land of the Lost (2009)
What a waste. It should've been epic, with all the dinosaurs. But no, nope, nothing. Not cool. Oh and the few stars this movie deserves, are for the dinosaurs.
drugs's rating:
It really just feels like a documentary of some kind. Or just a exploration of life. Definitely experimental.

Evil Dead (2013)
Took a bit of a step back with the movie watching, and instead spent my time on the not so important stuff. But I decided to try and get back in the game and watch the very last movie of the Evil Dead franchise.
It was.. okay I'd say. What I noticed in this one and pretty much all the other movies of this genre, there is rarely a strong or interesting main character. The kind that sticks to your head and you just can't help but love him or her. These days you just put some supposedly good looking young guy or girl and at least in the case of this movie I hated the fact that I didn't have that one character that just blew my mind and saved the day. I mean Mia was alright I guess, at least I remember her later on, but her brother? How bland of a character can you have?? I thought he was like the new version of Ash but since it's a remake they obviously mixed everything up. It felt at times like a very confusing mix of the first and the second movie. I loved some of the bits that were clear references to the old movies but I also don't get some of them. Some parts felt so irrelevant to the plot (like the thing with the dog, I think, just to name one).
Well at least it was nice and gory which is almost always fun to watch. Even though sometimes it just ruins the feeling of the movie, like at times in this film. But I guess we're so used to pointless violence and gore and when it's the way of the horror film nowadays you just got to roll with it. But in the end I'd give this movie A for effort but it didn't convince me like the ones before it. Besides, it's hard to top a movie like Evil Dead 2.

Kind of a fun, light entertainment package. But I have to say that I was really looking forward to seeing this, even though it wasn't that mind blowing in the end. I had maybe a little bit different expectations but I still wasn't horribly disappointed. And I don't mind watching mr. Dancy on my television screen as often as possible. But yeah, the plot was fun, interesting, maybe they just didn't concentrate on it enough but in the end it was quite alright.

Leap Year (2010)
Not that good. That Irish accent by Matthew Goode was pretty bad, Anna was just annoying and I just didn't feel the emotion in this one. It's a lot like PS. I Love You but nowhere near as good.

The Avengers (2012)
Yay hooray for me, I finally jumped into the Avengers/Thor/Loki/SUPERHEROES!!!11 train. I found that the movie just wasn't that much of a masterpiece and really once again the characters are the life of the party. Well, at least some of them. I mean I noticed that I had no interesting in Black Widow or Hawkeye. Did not find them relevant at all. I was surprised by the fact that the Hulk and Captain America were so interesting. Needless to say which three characters were the most entertaining?
Iron Man, Thor and Loki!So yup, it was fun but I think I'm still not planning to hop on the avengers/superhero train... we'll just have to see.

Sex and the City 2 (2010)
I personally love the TV series, so this is coming from a fan that has seen like every episode of the show at least three times. THE MOVIE SUCKED. Was completely pointless, I am annoyed that they would make more after the first movie, which was still somewhat enjoyable. These movies keep on ruining some aspects of my love of the series. Like for example, I never really did like Carrie that much but my feelings of hatred were subtle and not that bad. But after watching both of these movies I feel like I REALLY REALLY REALLY hate her. She is not interesting, no one cares about her silly ways and stupid outfits and UGH. It makes me so mad that I am able to hate this character so much. But at least when I watch Sex And The City on TV I get to see that she wasn't THAT annoying in the show at least. Even though sometimes it just suck that she sucks all the attention to herself. AAAAAAaaaaaand rant over.

Carnage (2011)
Being a young person, I can say irrational things like this: I do not want to be like these people... EVER. I know most people would say: "You're bound to change your mind and you too are gonna be a meddling parent someday". Which could be true but if I have any sense in my head, I will not be in that position, ever.
This movie actually did revolve around things that annoy me. Like the fact that kids are so super overly protected these days. Their moms and dads keep them in their perfect little bubble and will never admit if their children do something bad. "My kid would never!". Even though I am not planning on having kids ever, I really hate this aspect of parenting nowadays. I think the movie digs pretty deep in to the psyche of those overly protective parents as well as the ones that don't really even care and just always say "boys will be boys".

The Bling Ring (2013)
The movie is mostly okay and fun, I thought the story behind was pretty cool but the film kept losing focus and by the end of it I lost interest.
