One of the better romantic comedies out there, I really liked Anna Farris's role in this movie. 7/10


If I wasn't so obsessed with urban myths I'd give this movie a lower mark, since it would be just an ordinary teen slasher. 6/10

The Cavern (2005)

At times gory cave dwelling horror with a fun little old school type of twist. I liked it. This one was actually made before The Descent.

I think it's a mockbuster of The Cave

Although it's old, I recently rented "The Mothman Prophecies" which I had never seen.  I found it slow at the beginning, but it got more interesting as you got further into it.  I liked it. I reminded me of the  "X Files" tv series.

KONG ISLAND [AKA KING OF KONG ISLAND] (1968): There's no Kong, and no island (it's an isthmus at best). There is a mad scientist implanting transistors into the brains of gorillas to make them his slaves, a macho mercenary, a scantily clad Jungle Jane type wild-child, and a lot of backstory and subplots.  Pretty dumb, but unpredictable; you could do worse in a bad movie.  2.5/5.

Hacks (2003)-  a low budget "waiting for guffman" style mockumentary about a bunch of bad comics that isn't funny.  what was that saying you can make a movie about boring people but don't have it be boring?  The acting and direction and so forth are fine, it's solidly done but it's just not funny.  skip it

The Calamari Wrestler- Funny little Japanese wrestling film where the main character/hero is a squid, which no one in the film finds particularly strange lol Highly recommended

The Giant Gila Monster (1959) - This guy named Chase is the leader of a small town car club.  He's trying to get the (30 year old) kids to drive more safely.  He's also got a French girlfriend, and the local mean rich guy wants to have her sent back to France because, well, just because he's mean I guess.  His little sister has Polio, and Chase is saving up for some braces for her legs.  She tries to walk with them, but is only partially successful.  Never fear, Chase whips out the ukulele and sings her a church hymn.  Not one, not two, but THREE verses.  We learn an important lesson about the power of laughter.  Anyhow, Chase also meets a radio DJ, and as luck would have it, there's a big barn dance and the DJ is nice enough to attend.  Thrilling.  Chase sings his hymn again.

Oh yeah, there's also a gila monster on the loose.  At the beginning of the movie, Chase is asked to store 4 containers of nitro glycerin in his shed.  You'd NEVER guess this, but that will play an important part later on.  Gawd, this bored the crap out of me.  2/5.

The Devil's Chair (2006) - A guy takes his girlfriend out to an abandoned asylum, to drop some acid and have some sex.  Unfortunately she sits in a chair (if she'd only read the title of the movie...).  Anyhow, she disappears and he gets blamed for her murder, and ends up spending 4 years in a mental institution.  A doctor decides he wants to write a book about the guy, so he and a small team of researchers (including two hot babes) take him back to the scene of the crime.  More people sit in the chair.  It turns out the doctor's motives aren't quite what they seemed.  And then there's that twist ending - really one of the best I've seen.  One of those that's completely unpredictable, but once it happens, it makes perfect sense.  I had a big problem with the movie, but once the ending rolled around, I was like "Oh, that's why they did that!"  Pretty cool, I'll give it a 3.75/5.

Bought a few movies yesterday but have only watched 2 so far.

Antibodies~ A small town police officer is investigating the death of a young girl. A notorious serial killer is arrested in the city and he goes to talk to him, to see if he was responsible. For me it was like a cross between silence of the lambs with a little bit of American psycho thrown in.. only in German.  I liked it. It was well written, the acting was very good, and it kept me guessing.. Its definitely worth a watch. The subject matter may be a little much for some.

Anonymous Rex~ Dinosaurs its seems did not die out, they have evolved and are using holographic human skin suits to blend in with the humans.. omg! I knew when I bought this it would be stupid but, I didn't  realize how stupid and paid the price.. This movie was so boring, so stupid, so make me want to poke my eyes out terrible, it gave me a headache.

MST3K: THE REBEL SET:  I was personally pleased by this one because I've wanted to see it again for awhile but had it confused with THE BEATNIKS.  The movie is a lame, predictable caper flick with the gimmick being that Chief from contol (Ed Platt) recruits desperate beatniks to be his partners in the heist.  Pretty average throughout, except that it ends with the memorable "who is Merritt Stone?" running gag, where Tom Servo tries to figure out what part is played by character actor Stone by comparing credits in other MST3k'd movies.  3.5/45.

Tried watching Wicked Lake last night, but only made it about 10 minutes in.  It was so stupid I thought I was watching a Troma movie.  I'll try to slog through the rest of it tonight...maybe.
