Starweevil's July Movie Journal

I'm not going to lie I loved how stupid and lame this movie was. This is a film that I knew was going to suck, but in the best way possible. Whatever Arnold stars in I'm there and Jaimie Alexander I would marry in a heartbeat. If you want a simple and fun film The Last Stand is the movie for you.

The movie was okay, but I'm a sucker for Teresa Palmer. Much like the zombie R she also makes my heart feel all strange.

This is a so-so movie but I really liked the cast and there where some cool action scenes.

Complete waste of time. All the funny parts were in the trailer, and I'm using the word funny very loosely. It also tries to be heartfelt and can't even do that right.

Just when I thought there was no movie going to be worse than Identity Thief, well here comes Movie 43. I heard it was bad so morbid curiosity made me want to see it. Big mistake. This movie is beyond bad, I'm surprised the Wayans brothers didn't produce and direct this thing that's how bad it is. The shame some of these actors involved must feel or maybe relief because now they know the worst project they'll ever be a part of is behind them.

Why do I let people keep talking me into watching horrible movie after horrible movie? I should know better. This movie is slightly better than the last two but not by much. That's it I'm going to my DVD collection and rewatching something awesome to wash away all these craptastic movies from my mind.

The Shining is a film that transcends its genre, it's a truly frightening story of insanity and isolation. In my opinion I think this is Stanley Kubrick's best movie and it's also my favorite Jack Nicholson performance his descent into madness is simply brilliant. I remember watching this at the age of 12 for the first time and being scared out of my mind but also transfixed by its beauty and brilliance.

After all the crap I've watched this month it's nice to watch what I consider one of the greatest horror movies ever made. It's films like this that help cement my love for film and why I'll always be a movie lover. This is a site filled with movie lovers so most of you have seen this film probably more than once but for anyone who hasn't, it's a masterpiece go watch it ASAP!

Every time I watch Alien it amazes me how well it holds up. I don't think there will ever be a better blend of science fiction and horror then we have here. I'm going to be short and sweet and just say, "I LOVE THIS MOVIE."

P.S.- I'm still pissed that Prometheus was such an incredibly mediocre movie. I wasn't expecting it to be anywhere near as good as Alien, but come on Ridley Scott could you not make it just a bit smarter and a tad more interesting.
