Not Another Teen Movie (2001)
Cheap pokes and good Jokes
We have all seen american pie 1 and 2, road trip, can't hardly wait, election, 10 things, cruel intensions, varsity blues and so on.
But the general population of the audience would not have seen she's all that, pretty in pink, and the other movies in the 70's to 80's. Besides from that this new brand of teen movie, provides laughs around every corner, and the more you watch it the more funny it is.
This film completely pokes holes in classic teen movies, for example "billy bob with bacon the pig from varsity blues" is "reggie ray and sausage the pig" you get what i mean.
very strong acting from Chris evans and Jaime Pressly.
the reason why some people are over critical is because that these people would not of got the jokes because the lack of knowledge of teen movies.
And like it says in the trailer "if you have seen scary movie, who gives a...." that is exactly right, this movie far outbeats the latest installments of teen movies by far.
A definate must see for fans of teen flicks.
i will give it a 8.5/10
Heist (2001)
3 old timmers turn on the style
Well there you have it!! would you ever think you would see Gene Hackman, Danny Devitto and Delroy Lindo in the same movie? I certainly did not.
This movie knows how to please its audience, but can we say enough? I counted the amount of twists in this film and it came to 7, this is not a bad thing, but when it happens to much, the movie does start to tease the mind.
Fans of movies like oceans 11 and bandits should definitely check this one out, but do not expect to much.
another fault about the movie is the lack of freshness in the cast, they are all over 40.
Mr Hackman puts on an incredible performance which is worth watching, very gripping acting, same to Danny devitto he has not put on this good of a performance since Get Shorty.
A lack of humour in this film, very serious and to the point, so the teenagers might not like this one. But for real movie lovers its a must see, just to see Gene Hackman at his best
Overall i will give Heist a 6/10, acting 9/10.
Eight Legged Freaks (2002)
Very good movie from start to finish for all the family.
Who of you out there hate spiders?
if you do, then i would give this one a miss, but if you think your brave enough, its definetly cinema quality, thats if you can stand David Arquette for 1 1/2 hours playing the same character "detective duey" out of scream, also starring are the sexy Kari Wuhrer from "anaconda and Slider the tv series" and a new star to hit the screens, who i see that has alot of potential Scarlett Johansson, watch out for this one.
The graphics in this movie i will give an 8/10, very good except for the jumping spiders, if you see the movie you will no what i mean.
The thing i loved about this movie is that its funny, unique in its own kind of way and action packed all of the last 50 minutes.
And if anything the first 40 minutes is quite slow.
a new director to hit our screens but a word of advice to him is to forget about Arquette. Sorry but i just dont like him.
I hope you movie buffs out there follow my advice and check this one out, its got a 7/10 in my books.
The Bourne Identity (2002)
Bourne to be a hit!!!
For Matt damons first thriller/action he has set a good example of his rise in the business.
The bourne identity is one of the best, realistic, more witty movies i have had the privilege of seeing this year, set in great locations, with moscow, Switzerland, and paris, and having one of the best on screen supporting actress with Franka Potente from "blow" it really set the movie of to blossom into one of the years best movies in my books.
From Doug Lilman, the director of "go and swingers" its a change of style for himself, with the character wonderfully portraight buetiful setting and one of the coolest car chase scenes i have ever scene, he should be awarded for his efforts and can not wait for his next movie to be released.
Do not worry folks ben affleck does not star in this movie, just like to set your minds at ease.
They say that XXX is the new style of james bond, but i would have to go with the bourne identity, with cunning skills used throughout the movie, giving the bourne identity a unique style.
If there would be any let downs about the movie, it would most likely be the ending, very short and to the point, but dont let that put you off, i would definetely check this one out for yourselfs.
i will give it a 9/10
And hats off to the cast and crew. Great job!!!!
