Valentine (2001)
Much Better many years later
I was the demographic for this movie when it came out in February 2001. I was a freshman in college and I dragged a friend to see this on opening weekend. I was pumped. As a fan of slashers and whodunits, I was eager to see this one. I grew up in the Scream generation and this seemed right up my alley.
I don't know if I was in the wrong mood at the time or what, but I did not like it. I think I expected either a Michael Myers thing where everyone knew who the killer was off the bat, or a Scream-style mystery. This was sort of a blend of the two. I rated it a 4 out of 10 on here and never went back. I avoided this movie for 22 years until I randomly wanted to try watching this again.
Did the movie improve with age? As a matter of fact, it did. I enjoyed the red herrings and the 4 core actresses were incredible! Well maybe not Capshaw, she was annoying but had a funny line or two. I forgot the humor in this movie and that was fun to sit through as well. Overall, the party at the mansion in the end was the best part and so exciting. And when the ending showed up, I forgotten who - or how - the killer got away. I now re-rate this 9 out of 10. Definitely recommended and well directed. Great cast of hotties too!
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 (1990)
I loved this!
You will never see another good cartoon show based on a video game. Why? It's because these 3D video games suck and cartoons are non-existent because they are SADLY being replaced by ANIME! YUCK!
I only watched the Super Mario 3 parts. I actually have a ton of episodes on tape! I have an episode where Princess gathers the gang to go to the real world and attend a Milli Vanilli concert. It was a fun episode right at the height of the Milli Vanilli career.
Oh how I miss shows like this. WHY WHY WHY won't NBC bring back Saturday morning cartoons? They used to have the best ones and now they think they're too good for it.
Outrageous Fortune (1987)
Funny, great soundtrack, and a high rewatchability factor
When I watched this on TV for the first time, I didn't know what to think. I was immediately drawn in by the opening music theme (although old, it's VERY catchy!). This turned out to be a spectacular buddy-chase movie. In my opinion, those chase movies are generally good, but this one has a good soundtrack that helps aid the movie. The sets look really neat, and you don't want this movie to end. Shelley Long is one of my favorite actresses and I hope she continues to make more movies. The best part about this movie is that you actually feel like watching it again over and over!
10/10. Go rent this or buy it on DVD!
The Rage: Carrie 2 (1999)
Grasping it all...See it!
Please read my entire summary and bare with me...
When I was in 5th grade, I came across a movie in a video store called "Carrie." The cover looked soooo shocking and neat that I couldn't put it down. I really enjoyed looking at it in amazement. When I read the back cover, the story enthralled me to death. I desperately wanted to rent it. The story was soooo different than any other scary film that I just had to see it. I was too much of a chicken to rent it until I was in 8th grade. I had convinced my friends about the story and they wanted to rent it too. Finally we did. I was scared to death from the very beginning! When the blood came down on Carrie, I wanted to press eject. I was that terrified. In amazement, I'd knew I'd never forget that amazing story and it completely scared me. There was a time when I saw a few minutes of it but still I was too scared. Finally in 1999, I somehow heard that there would be a sequel. I don't remember where, but I heard about it. I had always been wondering and dreaming that there would be one and what it would be like. Now I wanted to learn everything there was about it from that moment. I knew it was coming out and closer and closer, websites kept putting "Carrie, Say You're Sorry" as the title. I agreed that that would have been an awful title, drawing virtually nobody. I saw "She's All That" with a friend of mine and I had hoped that I would see a preview, but there was none. After the movie, we stood around in the lobby waiting to see if we felt like talking to this kid we knew from school. Not knowing whether we wanted to or not, I was looking at the posters for Coming Attractions. On it, I saw a plain poster with a evil-looking girl. When I almost turned my head, I saw a familiar pattern. The title said "The Rage: Carrie 2" and I almost filpped out! I said I wanted to see that right away and that I couldn't believe that there would be a sequel! From that point on, I knew what to look up on webpages. I kept typing in "Carrie 2" and nothing would come up. Finally, I saw the official website but was not all that impressed. It didn't have all that much. After I had seen when the date it would be released, I waited and waited. I NEVER once saw a preview!!! I wish they put more and more trailers on tv and in the movies shown at theaters!!! I bet if it was, there would be lots more people and more money being made! Finally I was busy on March 12, and on March 13, I saw it. It was about 7:45 or so and at the very very popular theater I saw it at, there weren't many in there! We sat next to an older couple! There weren't many teens in there either! I was a little (actually a whole lot) bored during the movie. It built up great, but I guess I wasn't in the mood to watch a movie. The ending scared me, but it wasn't as shocking as "Carrie." My friend didn't care for it all that much, and neither did I. BUT later that week and ever since it was released on video, I HAD to see it again! Something stuck with me and I needed to see it once more! Although I hated the gore, suicide, and dog part (you'll see if you see it) I just had this major urge to see it once more! Finally I did. It was gross, but great! If only they took out those parts, I would love it even more! I bought the video! I was not all that disappointed, but great when compared to the first.
BOTTOM LINE: SEE IT, RENT IT, BUY IT, VOTE AND GIVE IT A 10! I HOPE THERE IS A FINAL THIRD SEQUEL! THERE NEEDS TO BE!
