Death Warrant (1990)

Jean-Claude Van Damme is great in this movie

[6/10 · 26 May 2006]

Death Warrant (1990).

Jean-Claude Van Damme stars in this movie as a cop called Louis Burke who goes undercover in a prison to try and find out who is killing heaps of prisoners.He befriends a few prisoners like Hawkins and Priest who help him to try and find out who is killing the prisoners.And as they are getting close to uncovering who is killing them and what for a psycho called The Sandman that Jean-Claude put in jail is transfered to the jail where he is.Jean-Claude is in trouble now because all of the prisoners know that he is a cop now and the Sandman and the rest of the prisoners are trying to kill him.

This movie is by far one of Jean-Claude Van Dammes better movies and if you are a die hard Van Damme fan this movie is a must buy.And if you liked this movie you should watch one of these Van Damme greats like Bloodsport (1988),Kickboxer (1989),Timecop (1994) and Sudden Death (1995).

Over all i really like this movie and do not believe the crap rating of 4.7 this movie has got.My rating for this movie is 6 out of 10.

7/7: Attack on London (2005 TV Movie)

Good And Interesting Movie\Documentary

[6/10 · 30 January 2006]

7\7 Attack On London (2005).

This made for TV movie/documentary is about the London terrorist attacks in the underground train system and on a bus. These attacks took place on the 7th of July 2005.

I remember when this happened I was watching the after math on TV and I was reading news paper reports about it.This movie/documentary is interesting and it has people that survived it talking about what happened in detail.And 52 people lost there lives and about 750 people where injured in this terrible attack on innocent people.

Over all this movie is good and i think it is worth watching.My rating for this movie is six and a half out of ten.

My Cousin Vinny (1992)

Joe Pesci Is Great In This Movie

[8/10 · 29 January 2006]

This movie is about how two young men (Ralph Macchio and Mitchell Whitfield) and they are driving through Alabama and they stop at a convenience store to get some food.And as they are driving away the cops pull them over and they charge them for the murder of the convenience store clerk who they did not kill.The 2 men can not afford a lawyer so one of the men calls his cousin Vinny (Joe Pesci) who is a lawyer and Vinny defends them.And Vinny does not know much about being a lawyer because he has only been doing it for 6 weeks and this is his first case.so will Vinny win the case or will the two innocent men go to jail.

The plot for this movie is great and i like court room drama movies and i like comedy movies and i like it how both types of movies are in one movie.If u think Joe Pesci can not act u should watch this movie and u will find out that he is a really good actor.Marisa Tomei gives her Oscar winning performance in this movie and i think she deserved it and Ralph Macchio aka The Karate Kid is good in this great movie.

Over all every thing about this movie is great.And this is one of the best movies of the 90's and my rating for this movie is 8 out of 10.

Trespass (1992)

Trespass is a good action movie

[6/10 · 28 January 2006]

If i could summarize this action movie into one word the word would be exciting.There is a lot of gun fire in this movie and a few people die. Ice Cube all so stars in this movie and he acts OK and this movie is one of his best i have seen and if u liked him in this movie u should watch the good movie Boys n the hood (1991).

Over all u should watch this movie and if u are a fan of action movies u will really like this movie.And my rating for this movie is six out of ten.

Crash (I) (2004)

One of the best movies of 2004

[9/10 · 28 January 2006]

crash (2004).

This movie is about different people with different racial backgrounds and each of them have there own lives and they are all prejudice about other races and all of there lives collide in many incidents.

Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)

Cheesy 1980s horror movie

[4/10 · 21 January 2006]

8th movie in my Friday The 13th movie marathon.

The plot for this movie is about how Jason Voorhees is brought back to life by getting electrocuted and he then gos aboard a cruse ship full high school graduates that are on there way to New York city to celebrate.

This movie called Friday The 13th part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan is so cheesy and lame and this movie is drawed first with the 5th movie in this series as the worst.I am a huge fan of the Friday the 13th series but there was no need to make this movie in the first place.The acting in this movie is really poor except for Kane Hodder who i think acted so well as Jason Voorhes in this movie.

Over all this movie is just a crap horror movie that i sort of like even though it is crap and u should only ever watch it if u want to have a good giggle.My rating for this movie is 4 out of 10.

Friday the 13th: The New Blood (1988)

OK Horror Movie But The Plot Is Crap

[5/10 · 20 January 2006]

7th movie in my Friday The 13th movie marathon.

The people that rote the story for this movie obviously ran out of ideas for this movie called Friday the 13th part VII the new blood.

The plot for this movie is about how Jason is dead and still chained to a rock at the bottom of the lake and a few years pass and people forget that he is there.And a telekinetic girl named Tina returns to camp crystal lake with her mum and doctor years after she accidentally killed her dad on a dock on crystal lake.And as Tina is standing on the dock she accidentally frees Jason from the lake witch is bad news for her and some young people staying at the house next door.

The plot for this movie is crap and this movie is OK but still one of the worst movies in the Friday The 13th series.And the best scenes in this movie are when Tina is trying to kill Jason with her telekinetic powers.

Over all this movie is full of problems but i still like it only because i am a fan of this series.My rating for this movie is five out of ten.

Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986)

Friday The 13th VI Jason Lives Is A Good Horror Movie

[6/10 · 20 January 2006]

I was having a Friday The 13th movie marathon like a week ago but i went on holidays so i am going to watch the rest of the movies in the series over the next 2 days and comment on them.So this is the 6th movie in my Friday The 13th movie marathon.

The plot for this movie is about how Tommy Jarvis goes back and digs up Jason Voorhess grave to see if he is dead but in doing so he accidentally brings him back to life.And then Jason Vorhees gos home to camp crystal lake and once again there are some people there for him to kill.

This movie has to be the most fast paced and action filled movie in The Friday The 13th series.And there are a few good kill scenes in this movie and the best two are:

1.When one of the characters in this movie is playing paint ball and he has got a machete chopping the trees in front of him and then Jason grabs the machete of him and throws him against a tree.And he gets impaled in the head with a tree branch And then as Jason looks at the machete the mans arm is still attached to the machete and it is a bit funny.

2.And a few minutes after that scene happened Jason jumped out of a tree and decapitated 3 of the people playing pain ball at the same time.

Over all this movie is good and there is only one thing wrong with this movie and the thing wrong with this movie is how in the start of this movie Jason gets brought back to life by getting struck by lighting 2 times and even though Jason is like a supernatural person the lighting would not bring him back to life.My rating for this movie is six out of ten.

Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985)

OK movie but the worst movie in the Friday the 13th series

[4/10 · 14 January 2006]

5th movie in my Friday the 13th movie marathon.

This movie called Friday The 13th a New Beginning is a sort of crap movie and by far the worst movie in the Friday the 13th series.This movie is about how Tommy Jarvis is all grown up and he gos to a halfway house for troubled young people and people start to get murdered at the halfway house by a men that is pretending to be Jason Voorhees.

There are some good Gory kill scenes in this movie like when the character Demon (Miguel A. Nunez Jr.) is trying to hide in an outhouse and Jason Voorhees (well not really) is attempting to kill him by stabbing a metal pole through the walls and then he stabs the pole though his chest.And there is a sort of big kill count in this movie 22 people get killed in this movie in many ways.

Over all this movie has so many things wrong with it but i still sort of like this movie and u should only ever watch this movie if u are a fan of the series.My rating for this movie is six stars out of ten.

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984)

Good 1980s horror movie

[6/10 · 14 January 2006]

4th movie in my Friady The 13th movie marathon.

Friday The 13th The Final Chapter is a good horror movie about how Jason Voorhes did not die in the end of the 3rd movie but everyone thinks that he is dead and he was taken to the hospital and he kills two hospital staff and he gos back to Camp Crystal Lake.When he gets back to the camp there are some new people staying there on a holiday and a family living there and he starts to kill them all but he meets his rival there a young boy named Tommy Jarvis (Cory Feldman).

There are a few good kill scenes in this movie and the best two are:

1.When the character Jimmy (Crispin Glover) is in the kitchen and Jason Voorhees Stabs his hand to the bench with a cork screw and then Jason hits him in the head will a cleaver.

2.The character Pauel is swimming by him self at night time and Jason stabs him in the groin with a spear gun and picks him up and shoots him in his groin.

Over all this movie is a bit better then the 3rd Friday the 13th movie and there are 2 good actors that i like in this movie and they are Crispin Glover and Cory Feldmen.My rating for this movie is six out of ten.

Friday the 13th: Part 3 (1982)

Friday The 13th Part 3 Is An OK Movie

[5/10 · 13 January 2006]

3rd movie in my Friday The 13th movie marathon.

This movie is an OK installment to the Friday the 13th series but this movie is not good this movie is just OK.The plot is a bit different then the first two Friday the 13th movies this movie is about how some friends go to a cabin for a holiday and then all hell breaks louse.If u are a fan of the Friday the 13th series i think that u will like this movie or if u are a fun of b grade movies u will like this movie.

Over all the first two movies in this series are a bit better then this movie and i have not seen this movie in 3d yet but i would love to.My rating for this movie is five out of ten.

Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981)

Friday The 13th Part 2 Is As Good As The First Movie

[6/10 · 13 January 2006]

2nd movie in my Friday The 13th movie marathon.

This movie is the sequel to the good movie Friday The 13th and this movie is as good as the first movie in some ways better but i will always like the first movie a little bit more.The plot for this movie is sort of the same as the first movie and the movies about how its a few years after every one died at camp crystal lake and the camp next door to camp crystal lake is going to open and a new bunch of councilers are setting it up and once again they start to die one by one once again but this time its not Pamela Voorhees (Betsy Palmer) killing them its her son Jason Voorhees.

There are heaps of great kill scenes in this movie but there are to many to mention and in this movie Jason is not wearing his trade mark hockey mark he is just wearing a white bag with an eye hole in it.

Over all if u want to watch a good horror movie with some good gore and kill scenes u should watch this movie.My rating for this movie is six out of ten.

Friday the 13th (1980)

Friday The 13th Is A Bloody Good Movie

[6/10 · 13 January 2006]

Today is Friday the 13th so i am going to have a Friday The 13th movie marathon and i am going to watch all 10 movies in the series over 2 days.

Its been 26 years scene this great horror movie was made and this movie gets better with age.The plot for this movie is about at a summer camp 20 years ago a boy named Jason Voorhees drowned and two camp councilers got murdered now 20 years later the camp is reopening and some new camp councilers are at the camp setting it up and one by one the camp councilers get killed in all kinds of ways.

The best two death scenes in this movie are:

1.when the great actor Kevin Bacon's character is laying in his bed and the killer is under the bed and pushes a arrow throw his neck and blood gos everywhere.

2.The scene in the end of the movie when Alice Hardy (Adrienne King) cuts off Pamela Voorhees (Betsy Palmer) head and u get a good close up when it happens and u should pause it and watch it in slow mode.

Over all this movie is one of the best horror movies from the 1980's and of all time.If u are a fan of horror movies u should buy the DVD box set of this series even though a couple of the other movies in the series are a bit crap.Over all this is a great movie and my rating for this movie is six and a half out of ten.

Guest House Paradiso (1999)

Really Funny Movie

[6/10 · 13 January 2006]

I was board and it was late at night and as i was flicking though the TV channels i came across this movie called Guest House Paradiso so i watched it and i am so glad i watched it because this movie is really good and i never would of seen this movie if i did not watch it on TV.

This movie is really funny i was laughing so much as i was watching this movie and the story line is about 2 men and they own a hotel that is next to a nuclear power plant and in the hotel is where all of the funny stuff happens.There are a lot of funny scenes in this movie like when one of the men that owns the hotel is running around the hotel in one of the hotel guests spiky rubber under wear that he stole and he is hiding from the other guests and he is trying to return the under wear and the funny/gross scene in the end of the movie when all the guests are spewing because they got feed contaminated fish.The good actor Simon Pegg from the good movie Shaun Of The Dead and he has a cameo in the good movie Land Of The Dead stars as a guest called Mr Nice in this movie.

Over all i really like this movie and if u want a good giggle u should rent or buy this movie.My rating for this movie is six and a half out of ten.

Wedlock (I) (1991)

Rutger Hauer is good in this movie

[6/10 · 11 January 2006]

Moon 44 (1990)

Moon 44 is a good B grade movie

[6/10 · 8 January 2006]

Moon 44 is a b grade sci-fi gem of a movie about in the year 2038 mineral resources on earth have ran out and different corporations are fighting for the last few planets and moons that have minerals on them.Nobody wants to man moon 44 because they are scared of being killed by people from other corporations but some convicts get sent to moon 44 to fly helicopters to defend it in exchange for some time of there sentences and with the convicts are some smart young men who navigate for them and an under cover agent who is there to try and find out who is hijacking the mining shuttles.

The acting in this movie is OK and the best 2 actors in this movie are the OK actor Malcolm McDowell and the sort of OK actor from the OK movie Cobra and he plays one of the punks in the start of The Terminator.There is only one thing wrong with this movie like how most of the special effects are crap but this movie is a b grade movie so its OK that the special effects are crap.

Over all if u are a fan of good b grade movies or sci-fi movies i think that u will really like this movie.And my rating for this movie is six out of ten.
