Fright Night Review ~ Vampires can be cool

It's sad to say that twilight made vampires uncool for a while, but thanks to the remake of the cult classic Fright Night, I can say vampires still have some badassness to them. Fright Night does what the orignal did, but adds some more gore, style and effects into the mix making a awesome thriller.

The acting is quite good to, with great performances by Colin and David. The film is a mix of a comedy, thriller, and a horror film all wrapped up in a neatly tied package. Plus you got some awesome gore effects to that even die hard Saw films would be pleased with.

Another thing I really like about this film is the camera work, Fright Night does a good job with setting up tension. For example, in one scene, you see a body being dragged out slowly of view, so you know the vampire is there, but you can't see him. Its clichés like this, that make for one hell of a trip.

If your a fan of the orignal, or just like Vampire killing stories in general. You gotta check out Fright Night.

Final Destination 5 Review ~ Surpassing good

After the awkward fourth Final Destination (or THE Final Destination) number five sets things back on track by going back to Final Destination's roots while keeping it modern and fresh. Granted, its got the gory and death scenes that will the series is knowen for as well taken to a new level.

One of the coolest scenes is in the beginning when the bridge falls down, just because its so over the top and intense. The plot is pretty much the same, kids trying to escape from death. But this time, there is a new twist which works out rather well for the film. Which is if you kill someone you get their life. So the question is, are the characters willing to kill someone innocent so they can live? It works out well and makes for a pretty cool climax.

The kill scenes are over the top and gore tastic. Reminds me a little bit of Saw, so if your into that stuff, you won't be disappointed. Although the chance of any of these deaths happening in real life is pretty much next to zero percent.

The acting is Final Destination is pretty forgettable, its pretty much the same as the other films. Just looking scared, and then they die.

Overall, if your a fan of Final Destination, then you will enjoy number 5. As its a great step up from the pervious film. Now, I wonder what the hell Final Destination Six and Seven will be like.

Prom Review ~ Its a little chiched and corny, but its cute

From the makers of High School Musical, Camp Rock and other great hits, Disney finally decided to make a Prom movie. Is it good? Well, that all depends if you liked Prom in high school.

Prom focuses on a bunch of kids who are either excited, or not excited for the upcoming high school prom. In fact, thats what all these kids seem to think about. They are thinking about who is going to ask them out, or how to ask some one out. You would think these kids only think about Prom and nothing else, which of course, no body in real life would be this crazy over Prom.

They put a lot of effort into it to asking each other out, which I don't remember kids from my high school doing that. But that is Disney for you, taking something like Prom and kinda turning it into some fairy tale type of thing.

The pairings, are well, a little chiched to say the least. But thats to be expected as Disney would never go the edgy route. The romance aspect is a little over the top, again due to Disney's "theres love for everyone route" but its not so bad.

What else can I say, its a heart warming, depressing, awkward Prom movie. I was never a fan of Prom, so I wasn't all that into it. But if Prom and watching couples (um, Disney couples) try to figure their way though Prom, then this may be a movie for you.

Scream 4 Review ~ Best Scream Yet

I even have to admit that I was worried about this film after the great fail that was My Soul To Take, but Wes Craven has made a great horror comedy with a ending that might blow you away.

Scream 4 plays by the rules of stab movies, as the killer kills all his victims with a knife. Is is the most creative way of killing, no, but its a real weapon and still holds up.

If your a fan of horror movies, then you are going to love all the horror reference's Scream 4 makes. It pokes fun at Saw, has some trivia and hints at some old movies with its kill scenes.

The film also has its comedic moments to when it pokes fun at the horror genre. But also takes itself seriously at the same time.

The actors are all pretty good, and its kinda cool to see Emma Roberts in a horror film like this. Along with Hayden Panettiere (who plays red riding hood in the upcoming WoodHinked movie) and Neve Campbell.

The kill scenes do a pretty good job of building up tension, but the horror factor here isn't as scary as other movies. But it still has a few on the edge seat scenes which will get you. The killers voice is a little comedic in a way, as its kinda scary but laughable at the same time.

Overall, if your a fan of horror and making fun of it, check this one out. You don't have to watch the older screams to understand this one, but it may help if you want to get the full picture. The ending does a great job with its twist.

Wes Craven should stick with directing, cause that is what he seems best at. Or maybe go back to script school.

Beastly Review ~ A cheesy movie that fails to recapture the magic of Beauty and the Beast

Oh dear, where to begin. If your a fan of cheesy dialog, bad acting and a uninspired script, then you might enjoy Beastly. The movie opens up with a montage of Alex working out and showing off his body to some Pop song. It's at this moment, you know you can't hope for much.

But, it is entertaing despite its flaws. If you go in expecting to be blowen away, then you will be disappointed, but if your up for a few laughs and don't expect to much, then Beastly does have its moments.

Vanessa tries to act her best, but some of her lines come out flat. Alex does a pretty good job, but its nothing Oscar worthy. The acting and script make for some pretty funny moments just cause it is pretty bad.

As the plot itself, its pretty predictable. But what can you expect from a Beauty and the Beast remake set in modern times. I must admit, the witch was pretty cool, even though she doesn't have a back-story. She just kinda comes out of nowhere, but that's really not important.

Overall, Beastly is a classy cheesy movie at its best. It has some good laughs and will entertain you if your in the right mood.

The Roommate Review ~ Its not as bad as everyone makes it out to be

Once again a movie that is hated on Rotten Tomatoes is really not all that bad. The Roommate does have its flaws, but its a pretty entertaing thriller which will keep your interest until the end..

One thing that did disappointed however is that the Crazy Roomate never gets a backstory. It's never really fully explained why she is crazy or what her past was like, which is to bad.

The script in this movie is allright, but it does have those "Don't you see the warning signs?" moments where Sarah (our main character) always decides to stick with Rebecca her crazy room after a crazy event or something happens.

Another thing that shocked me is that the kill count is quite low to. Only one person dies in the whole film. Watching the trailer I thought like 5 people die, but this doesn't really impact the film all to much.

The tension scenes are pretty well done, their predictable, but not always to predictable. If your expecting a horror film, well you won't find it here. But the Roommate does offer a good time at the movies and may fill your horror gut until a real horror movie arrives.

The Rite Review ~ Nothing new or noteworthy in the Exorcism Genre

Man, is it just me or is the whole Exorcism genre a bit overdone these days. The Last Exorcism was pretty bad last fall so I didn't have high hopes for The Rite, and while its not as bad as the The Last Exorcism, its nothing to good either.

If your going in expecting a horror movie which will scare you, you'll be disappointed. The movie is a somewhat mix of horror and suspense, but it can't pull either fairly well.

The Rite is about Michael, who goes to a priest school to escape from home. He doesn't really believe in the whole thing Devil thing so he decides to met up with Farther Lucas. Who works with Exorcisms a lot. Michael must decide if these demons are real or not as he experiences these exorcisms.

The plot of the Rite is a bit of a slow one. The movie takes a while before it gets going and it has a weird pace throughout the movie. I do give props for the twist, even with its anti cinematic ending.

The Exorcism scenes are what you expect, demonic voice, head twisting, bending back, but nothing really new or really crazy happens. Its hard to tell if the film was trying to take itself serious or trying to go into fiction at times. As it doesn't have enough suspenseful moments or horror like terror to be either.

Maybe we have seen to many exorcism movies over the year, but I think the genre just needs a break. Ever since the Exorcist, (the true classic) no film has been able to come close to the awesomeness of that movie.

Anthony Hopkins is the only reason to see this movie as he pulls off his role quite well. Colin's acting is all right, but I don't think the script did his character justice. Anyway, if your looking for a mild trip into the Exorcism world, then this movie may be up to your liking. But those expecting a true horror or supense masterpiece may want skip and revisit the Exorcist.
