I wish I did not see this movie. The movie does not make you laugh, or smile. All the funny scenes are in the trailer. And it is confusing the whole way thru. I was happy when it was over. The TRAILER is funnier then the actual movie!

Insidious (2011)

Okay, so the trailers do not tell you anything. But this could be one of the scariest movies of 2011. The first hour is amazing. But the second starts to get weird fast, but it is still good. The one negative is near the end it tries to be funny, and become Drag Me to Hell.

Had trouble grading this movie. It was a funny/decent horror movie, but I dont think i will rewatch it again. The effects are sometimes great. And the end is dissapointing. But, I reccomend at least one watch.

This is the first movie I saw as a 17 year old beacause Ive wanted to see it forever. I can say it is worth the wait. While it was funny, it had a lot more heart then other teen movies. Good Movie. I also want to add that it was a lot less innaproprite then I thought it would be.

Rated R for crude and sexual content, pervasive language, some nudity and brief drug use.
Runtime: 1 hr. 32 min.

This was an intresting movie. It wasn't fantastic, but it wasnt bad either. But I probably wouldnt watch it again. I am having trouble deciding between a 3 and a 3 1/2.

This was actually almost as good as the first. It is not as scary... but it was a very good sequal. It is worth the time.

Rated PG-13 for sequences of crude and sexual content, some partial nudity and language.
Runtime: 1 hr. 54 min.

This was funnier then I thought it would be, but it was not that great. It seemed like it ran way too long. But it was fun seeing Steve Carell act like Brick again. But i am still wondering why the movies title refrences a fifteen minute scene.

Rated R for for sexual material, graphic nudity, pervasive language, some drug use and crude content.
Runtime: 1 hr. 48 min.

A surprisingly good movie. I would have given it 4 stars if it wasnt for the bad ending, and the low replay level. The acting was great. And it actually kept me entertained. Do not judge the trailer on this one.

Buried (2010)

Runtime: 1 hr. 35 min

No, this does not compare to 127 Hours. The movie is in fact enjoyable. But the movie felt like it was to long. But the director did a good job with making you think you were in the coffin. The ending was fantastic, and really made me like the movie.

Road Trip

Starring: Breckin Meyer, Seann William Scott and Amy Smart.
Rated UR
Runtime: 1 hr. 34 min

This is another movie that was on my list for when I turn 17. But, I saw it a month early. The movie was worth the wait. It had some very funny moments, and it seemed rewatchable. I do have to say that Seann William Scott made this movie, without him it would not be as funny. I will buy this when (if) it comes out on Blu-Ray, but i suggest everyone else rent it and see if its there kind of humor.

The Uninvited (2009)

Directed by Charles Guard & Thomas Guard
Starring: Emily Browning, Arielle Kebbel and Elizabeth Banks.
Rated PG-13 for violent and disturbing images, thematic material, sexual content, language and teen drinking.
Runtime: 1 hr. 27 min

I went into this movie not expecting much, and that is what I got. Until the ending, nothing in this movie really kept me entertained. The ending (even though I called (part of) it while watching...), makes this movie worth watching. I suggest this if you have a night with nothing to do, and you can get it for a dollar.

There's Something About Mary (1998)

Date Watched: 1-28-11
Directed by Bobby Farrelly & Peter Farrelly
Starring: Ben Stiller, Cameron Diaz and Matt Dillon.
Rated UR
Runtime: 2 hr. 14 min.

This has been on my list of R-rated movies to see (for when I turn 17) for awhile. I had heard great things about it, and wanted to see what all the talk was about. While I thought it was very funny, I think it would have been a lot funnier if i wasn't by myself, and if i didn't know most of the jokes. I highly suggest this movie to people who can take some gross humor, because this is one of the best "romantic" comedies I have ever seen

Easy A (2010)

Date Watched: 1-24-11
Directed by Will Gluck
Starring: Emma Stone, Amanda Bynes and Penn Badgley.
Rated PG-13 for mature thematic elements involving teen sexuality, language and some drug material.
Runtime: 1 hr. 32 min.

Let me start off by saying, this is not my type of movie and I had a lot of trouble grading it because it really is not my type of movie. I saw this movie because of the great reviews, and I got what the trailer told me. The movie contains some moments that I thought were pretty funny, especially when the parents were on-screen. But near the end it turned into a chick flick, and it slowly lost my attention. If you're a girl I highly suggest this movie to you. If you are a guy, I suggest you see Will Gluck's previous movie, Fired Up!.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)

Date Watched: 1-23-11
Directed by David Slade
Starring: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.
Rated: PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence, and some sensuality.
Runtime: 2hrs. 6min

I never thought that I would have so much trouble grading a Twilight movie, but with this one I did. For starters, they cut down the shirtless guys to about three times, and even joke about it with Edward saying to Jake, "Don't you own a shirt?" There are also a few more jokes like that spread throughout the movie. The acting also seems to have improved, and you can see this especially with Edward. While it was still slow, they seemed to pick up the action and make it entertaining. This was a tough decision, but this movie gets a 7/10, and represents what the rest of the Twilight movies should have been.

EDIT: Although this is the best of the three, I am looking back and thinking that this deserves a 6/10. While it was best, i have no plans on seeing it again and I don't think it should compare to My Cousin Vinny or The Green Hornet.

Angels & Demons

Date Watched: 1-23-11
Directed by Ron Howard
Starring: Tom Hanks, Ewan McGregor and Ayelet Zurer.
Rated PG-13 for sequences of violence, disturbing images and thematic material.
Runtime: 2hrs. 16min

To start off, I HATED The Da Vinci Code,and got stuck into watching this. While this is not a horrible movie, it is still not really worth a watch. The lighting in this movie is so bad, that it is very hard to figure out what is going on. This is not worth watching unless you liked The Da Vinci Code or you really wanted to see it. But even then, its not worth it.

My Cousin Vinny (1992)

Date Watched: 1-22-11
Directed by Jonathan Lynn
Starring: Joe Pesci, Marisa Tomei and Ralph Macchio.
Rated R for language.
Runtime: 2 hrs.

This was my first time seeing the actual movie. I had seen bits and pieces on TV, and let me say, the TV editing wrecks it. To see this movie you have to see it uncensored, because the swearing makes this movie, and without it a lot of jokes wont work. Although this movie doesn't exactly live up to its hype, there are a lot of laugh out loud moments, such as the stuttering guy. And these few moments make the movie worth a watch.

The Last Exorcism (2010)

Date Watched: 1-22-11
Directed by Daniel Stamm
Starring: Patrick Fabian, Ashley Bell and Iris Bahr.
Rated PG-13 for disturbing violent content and terror, some sexual references and thematic material.
Runtime: 1hr. 27mins

This is one of the reasons why you shouldn't trust the MPAA. There is a scene where the girl takes the camera and beats her cat to deathwith it. While this is going on the camera never looks away, and it shows the bloody results of what she did. There are other moments that probably should have made it R, but they didn't. The movie itself wasn't bad, it was slow at some points and faster at others, but never really got scary.But the twist at the end made it worth watching, even if you could not really understand it. The movie is worth a rent.

EDIT: I have changed my grade from 3/5 (6/10) to 5/5 (10/10), seeing that this is one of the only movies that has ever scared me. This is now one of my favorites and is really worth watching!

Date Watched: 1-22-11
Directed by Alexandre Aja
Starring: Ted Levine, Kathleen Quinlan and Dan Byrd.
Rated R for strong gruesome violence and terror throughout, and for language.
Runtime: 1hr. 47min

This was a very interesting choice for my tenth movie of the year. While it wasnt that bad, I don't think it would hold up for more then one viewing. And although it is not as gory as many people think, but it still is not for people with weak stomachs. The other thing that bothered me was how the creatures looked like the one from The Goonies.

Not Nearly as good as the first two. And unlike the first two, it was obvious from the start who the killer was and that it was Roman. Hopefully, they reedem themselves with Scream 4.

I was surprised with how much I enjoyed this movie. When it started I was bored and confused, and by the end I was on the edge of my seat wanting to know what would happen. But I think it's only good for a one time view.
