Mission: Impossible III (2006)

Worst movie ever

[1/10 · 27 March 2007]

Worst movie ever, what else can I say? TC has spoiled and destroyed his good name out there in the movie biz.

Personally, he needs to apologize to the mentally challenged people. That's what it would take for me to even look at him again.

It was horribly sloppily made.

The script needed reworking in the worst way. I have never seen such a bad movie since M Night Shymalan's The Village and that was horrendous. Hardly any plot.

Redstone was right to axe Tom; it's all going for broke on action and hoping fans wouldn't notice the horribly thin storyline that just barely held the movie together. Cruise is not capable of pullng off a convincing acting job; they should have replaced him with someone new, younger, and fresh.

Sleepy Hollow (1999)

Good movie

[8/10 · 27 March 2006]

I love this movie! Edge of your seat and keep you guessing who did it until the end. Tim Burton adds a great touch with Crane's mother, keeping Crane real and showing us why Crane became the way that he did.

The flashbacks add a real sense of mystique, offering us deeper insight into Ichabod Crane. It is nice to see that after conducting an autopsy and seeing his opponent in action at night, that Crane is still afraid of everyday things like spiders! Wonderfully acted, sends chills down the spine for a continual ride through the woods! Christopher Walken portrayed an excellent headless horseman. The CG effects were nicely done as well.

The Village (2004)

Worst ever

[1/10 · 27 March 2006]

This was the worst "horror" movie ever! It was completely disorganized, no structure at all! There was no plot to speak of, it seemed like it was just focusing on the kids and not at all what they were afraid of.

Really, there was no surprises on this movie, it was simply awful to watch. The lead girl was the only substance in the film, she was a round character, not static like the rest. It was so obvious even from the beginning who did this and that..

I geared up for a nice thrill and I got a lukewarm so called 'horror' movie that made pretty much no sense whatsoever. It is a horrendous movie with little to no horror in it at all.

Without a Paddle (2004)

A funny movie

[17 September 2005]

I really love this movie! It is a laugh out loud comedy that people of all ages can share. Matt Lillard proves that he a very versatile actor who can act in any genre of film or TV show there is. Seth Green is excellent, Dax Shephard was wonderful playing the motorcycle-loving slacker. There are many funny points in the movie, my favorite has to be when they are running through the marijuana field and they all start getting high off the fumes! It was a big LOL as they all started acting goofy! Another memorable moment is when they are together in the wilderness and have to cuddle up to stay warm(having lost their clothes earlier). Burt Reynolds makes a memorable appearance as a hermit up on the mountain, giving the boys shelter for a night.

Cold Squad (1998–2005)

Great show, bad guest actor

[27 June 2005]

I like Cold Squad, I used to watch it all the time when I got satellite TV, back when CBC was a freebie. Julie and Matthew are top notch actors, I cannot say enough good things about them. The premise of this show keeps us guessing, and I hope that it continues on for a long time. The only problem I can see was a guest actor named Shayne Wyler. He was absolutely terrible in one episode. His movements were clumsy, awkward, and in general, he looked like he didn't know where he was going half the time. I found Shayne very annoying, he constantly mumbled what he said, didn't they teach him to enounciate at school? Really, I hope they don't hire him back. Shayne is better suited for theater, and theater only.

Cage the Dog (1999)

Another indie film

[27 June 2005]

We USA people will never be able to see this film, the premise is this, basically: Ex cop's partner dies, ex cop goes and opens up a cop bar Two undercover cops(played by Shayne Wyler, second guy unknown) who were at the bar are involved in an accidental shooting, a highbrow investigator threatens to shut the bar down. Ex cop gets roped into a gang, in which, reveals the truth about ex cop's partner's death. All in all, this film was never made. All I know is that it takes years to sell ideas/scripts/ etc. The premise of this movie is quite typical of any ex-cop movie, I do not think it would be any big loss if the movie was never made. This indie film is on the shelf, and I think it would be best if it stayed there.

Peeper (I)

Spoiler

[4/10 · 27 June 2005]

This movie is a Canadian indie film, which means nobody in the US can see it. I rate this an even 4 stars because indie films usually aren't that great to begin with. The movie is based on this guy Carter who's got writer's block. He has a crush on his next door neighbor, an actress, for years, and is too chicken to go and talk to her. One day, while suffering from the writer's block, he accidentally finds a hole in the wall, leading into the next apartment. The girl lives there, Carter begins to spy on her, and he writes a screenplay on her life.

(spoiler here)

Things turn a little gory. Carter watches the girl with her lesbian girlfriend, the two have a fight, all the while Carter watches. He accidentally gets his right eye stabbed out in the turmoil, thus the price he pays for being a peeping tom. Carter returns to his apartment, a saddened and humble man.
