I don't even know what I just watched.. Was that even REAL? I don't know where to begin. This movie is extremely bad. It is without a doubt the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. I wouldn't have called it Titanic, it was more like Cinderella - goes - ginger - on - a - boat - that - crashes - then - she - marries - her - stepbrother. I would watch this if you want a movie that you could make fun of endlessly. For that purpose, it's fabulous. Between the infamous completely out-of-place rapping scene and his molestation of her hand when he meets her and the flashback of the two scenes they were in together replayed in slow motion and everything else.. But, If you are expecting a good, (intentionally) funny, or in any way enjoyable movie, don't even touch it.

The Fan
(1996)
No "Fan"s in this movie..
17 August 2008
Warning: Spoilers
*MANY MANY SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW* This movie was horrible. I am a huge baseball fan so I thought I'd watch it, and I was very disappointed. It started out okay.. When I saw the bad influence DeNiro had on his young son, I was hoping that he would become a better father throughout the movie or something. Anyways, at the beginning it seemed as if DeNiro was supposed to be the protagonist. He was the only one that believed in Bobby, and he had his adorable son that he was losing custody of, which gave me a reason to feel bad for him. He wanted to help Bobby by talking to Primo, when out of absolutely nowhere he brutally stabs Primo to death... Not to mention that sketchy reoccurring song "I WANT TO **** YOU!!!!" at random unfitting moments.
Later, when DeNiro saves Bobby's son from drowning, I was hoping that the movie could redeem itself.. He could forgive himself for killing Primo if he saved Bobby's son. But of course this is far beyond the depth of the movie, because all he cares about is getting CREDIT for the murder, and does so by stealing Bobby's son, car, and dog and holding them hostage- Bobby just has to hit a home run and announce that DeNiro is a "true fan" while displaying a picture of him biting a knife.
Now we get to the completely unrealistic scene at the end... It is pouring like hell and we are expected to believe that the game hasn't been called. Then DeNiro somehow magically appears on the field in an umpire suit and calls Bobby out at home, proceeding to pull out his knife and start stabbing everyone that runs onto the field. There are seemingly no officers on the field (but the police are on their way), so DeNiro steps on the mound and prepares to pitch a knife to Bobby when he gets shot to death. But don't worry, this cheerful and pleasant movie has a happy ending, because Bobby find his son.
This is NOT a sports movie. It is NOT about a fan. As far as I know, fans are not rabid psychopaths that threaten, rob, and throw knives at their admirees. This is likely to be the sickest movie I will ever see in my life. The plot was shallow, the soundtrack sucked, the movie had no purpose whatsoever. I warn you not to waste your time on this disgusting excuse for a film.

Shark Tale
(2004)
Never Gets Old
15 January 2008
I'm not lying when I say that this movie is my all-time favorite movie. I have watched it almost every week ever since it came out on DVD, and still I can't wait until the next time I watch it. I hardly EVER buy movies on DVD; usually movies for me are one-time events. But Shark Tale was just so funny and overall such a good movie.
First of all, everyone seems to be saying that this is a knock-off Finding Nemo. Yes, it is an animated underwater film and just so happened to be released after Nemo. But they have completely different plot lines, and I must say that I enjoyed this FAR more than Nemo. Shark Tale also related their society to the human world- restaurants, shopping centers, newscasters, police, traffic.
I would also like to point out that this is by no means a children's movie. I'm not quite an adult, but I'm in high school, and this is certainly a movie for the whole family. My little siblings (my youngest 7) love it, along with my parents (in their 40's). We all like different things about it, laugh at different parts, and relate to different themes. There's something in this movie for everybody.
The animation is gorgeous and the voices are perfect. There is such a good cast in this movie, and they all seem to fit so nicely together. Will Smith is stellar for this role, Oscar's personality in the movie reminds me of Smith's role in the Fresh Prince -- the unlucky, awkward-with-girls, yet very likable kind of guy. Angelina Jolie as the seductive snob is priceless. Renee Zellweger's sweet sarcastic voice defines Angie's personality. Robert De Niro, in my opinion, seems to portray the perfect protective Italian father (Meet the Parents & Meet the Falkers). Jack Black was hilarious as Lenny.
As for the plot, I'm not going to pretend it's the first time I've seen it. But you can't expect not to see reoccurring themes. The thing that set Shark Tale aside from movies similar to it is the HUMOR and CREATIVITY. Applying this plot to the ocean made this movie so funny. So many jokes are thrown in that sometimes I catch them for the first time, my thousandth time watching. Every moment has you on your toes, not always for the plot, but for the humor that you know is going to continue throughout the movie. I could watch one scene over all day, and chances are I would laugh every time.
Overall, this movie is fantastic. It's great to watch with the family, and it's definitely something to watch again.

Duel
(1971 TV Movie)
Fell Asleep
3 August 2006
This is one of the slowest movies I've ever seen. It seemed like every scene lasted about 10 minutes. He's driving. 10 minutes. At the gas station. 10 minutes. Driving again. 10 minutes. Eating a fricken piece of toast. 10 minutes. Honestly, I fell asleep halfway through this movie, but from the explanation my cousin gave me, I didn't miss much. I don't understand how this could be called a masterpiece. I found it irritating and boring. There was no reason given for why this guy was following him and you only saw his feet. His FEET. The whole time. Sorry to those of you who enjoyed it, but I advise you not to waste your time watching this movie. Choose something else.
When a Stranger Calls
(2006)
Overall an honest, well-written movie...
24 July 2006
Warning: Spoilers
I don't watch very many 'horror' movies, but one night I sat down and watched this with my cousins. Now, we're teenagers, so we tend to make fun of a lot of things, but honestly, the acting here really wasn't very good, especially at the beginning. One line that stood out was when Scarlett says to Jill and Tiffany, "This is so... high school!" while the next scene shows Jill walking past a sign with their High School name on it... Many parts at the beginning reminded me of a corny, badly-written, badly-acted Lizzie McGuire episode. However, as the story progressed, and the cast moved on to just about only Jill most of the time, I was able to appreciate the movie more. Camilla Belle did really well in this movie, and I think that the other actors and actresses ruined the movie for her. And I must admit, this was one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. Well, no, there weren't big monsters and white faces appearing in dark corners and possessed dolls, but the thing that made this movie scarier than ones containing those things is that it really could happen. And this movie really reminded me of what really IS scary... We all know we're not likely to stumble upon the living dead any time in our lives, but the idea of having a murderer inside the house you're babysitting at could really happen. The only flaw with this movie is that it's one of the most cliché movies I've ever seen. It has everything in it that any horror movie has ever had- turning the keys and the car starts, shadows in the corner, turning the corners of the stairs with suspense, turning around and seeing a dead body, ending a fatal scene quickly with waking up from a dream, etc. At the suspenseful scenes, it was very predictable, but overall, I would give it a 7/10. It's definitely worth seeing.
By the way, This is my first review, so I don't know if any of those things were spoilers.. But just to be safe...
