Let me say, I was expecting that "Parnormal Activity" was going to be an awesome horror movie that really made you scared and really reminded you what fear feels like. This wasn't the case. Before this movie hit the theaters in my area, I was dying to see it because of all the hype it was getting. When it came to my theaters, I went out to see it with a few friends. Let me say, it really wasn't that good. I don't understand what people saw in this movie. What was so scary about it? What was so interesting about it? The scenes dragged many times, and most of the time, nothing really "scary" happens. Can someone say "OVERRATED"? I think this could win the award for most overrated movie of 2009. I hope the sequel isn't a let-down.

Don't waste your time seeing this.

I have heard many comments about "A Christmas Carol" before seeing it. Many were mixed reviews. Some loved it, some liked it, some didn't like it, and some hated it. To me, I'm in that "mixed" category. Out of curiosity, I went to see "A Christmas Carol" in Real D 3D. I feel as if that "A Christmas Carol" was a fun holiday movie to get you in the spirit, but the movie wasn't that great. The voices by Jim Carrey and his jovial attitude at the end made this film fun, and so did his serious attitude when he played the mean side of Scrooge. To me, I think the 3D is what this film is all about. If I saw this in 2D, it probably wouldn't have been as much fun. I think that this film was a great way to help you get in the spirit of Christmas, but it wasn't really that great of a movie altogether. The script is at times dull, and at other times really fun. It really depends on the way you perceive it.

The 3D was great and it must be seen in theaters, because most likely the 3D won't work or look as good if it comes out in that format on Blu-Ray/DVD. The animation was marvelous and at times the characters looked real! This is a must-see in theaters especially for the 3D. Hurry! Go see it before it leaves theaters.

Okay, as I am writing this, I saw this movie over a month ago in theaters but never got to writing a review. This movie I saw in a COMPLETELY empty theater, no one in there but me. The movie from start to finish was thrilling and kept me at the edge of my seat. However, it did have me jumping out of my seat and screaming a few times! Christine Brown is a wonderful and well-acted out character played by Allsion Lohman. Allison portrayed Christine as a character that was smart, witty, funny, and courageous. I really got into her character. Justin Long plays Clay, Christine's boyfriend. His acting was very good and he is the "I can't believe it until I see it" type of person. Lorna Raver plays the scary Mrs. Ganush. Lorna Raver's character was well-acted and VERY frightening! This movie had so much suspense, great acting, awesome writing, a GREAT plot, and awesome jump scenes! The jump scenes were a little much, but they weren't weak like in "The Haunting in Connecticut" these made me jump and scream! If I didn't see this so late in the theaters I would have seen it again, but they took it out the day after. I will so be buying the DVD.

I guess I can say that most fans think this Friday the 13th "reboot" or "sequel" or whatever you want to call it, didn't like this installment. There are many factors I can put into why people wouldn't like this movie, and also parts they COULD'VE worked on more. There was a lot of sex/nudity to the point where it kind of go ridiculous. The writers and producers seemed to be real horn dogs for showing off tits and large breasts, while it kind of gave me a vibe that that's all they cared about mostly. Another thing is, they rushed Jason's storyline WAY too much. Only about 2 minutes are known in this film about his childhood, even his mother getting killed off right at the beginning. Then, there's the character development, which is a BIG BIG BIG role to get the audience to like/hate some characters. This movie lacked a lot in character development. I had a hard time keeping up with names because I never got to know the characters enough. Another thing is that they sort of spent on a lot is the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" feel. It seemed like a TCM film with Jason's underground lair, and keeping people captive, which lead the film to give off a different vibe. However, I am really not a critic in movies, I, however tend to like them or hate them. Friday the 13th (2009) I liked, it was a good movie. I would love to see less nudity, more character development, and less of a Texas Chainsaw Massacre feel. Also, I think this film gets a lot of bad reviews, but I understand why it would. Many fans probably expected it to be more like the originals, but it was far from it, and that's what makes a lot of die-hard fans mad. But, it's a writers viewpoint, not yours, so you have to accept that. All in all it was a good movie and don't forget to buy the DVD and Blu-Ray on Tuesday, June 16, 2009!

I've seen Broken Lizard's "Club Dread" back in 2004 and 2005 about 20 times. So, then, when I thought that this movie was pretty good, I decided to rent it on Netflix again. When I watched it again, I realized that it's not very watchable that much anymore. It sort of gets old. Even though I watched in 20 times before, it seems now that it lacks something. The kills are great and there is lots of blood, and great murder effects. I recommend watching this, I just don't know if you could watch it more than once or twice max. So, all in all, if you love gore and you really love horror films with cheap acting and fun characters, I recommend watching this.

I have been watching Desperate Housewives since the Season 2 premiere back in 2005. For years, I have been intrigued by the mysteries these writers leave off for us. I got a chance to watch Season 1 from Netflix. I have to say: Season 1 was the juiciest, Season 2 flubbed a bit, Season 3 picked up, and Season 4 got juicier, and Season 5 went complete sour. Season 5 leaves Susan so annoying and stupid and Katherine really boring. Also, it makes viewers want a main character to be killed off. And Tom is seriously psycho now. I think the writers have lost it and seriously should reconsider what they've done and try to make it better, not make it worse. The 5 year jump was not a very good idea and barley noticeable that they had jumped 5 years. Everything seems still the same as usual. I think a serious twist is need for DH to pick itself up again, and quickly!
