Scooby-Doo (2002)

7/10. A pretty decent movie adaptation of the long running cartoon. I can understand the dislike of Scrappy Doo but I place the blame on Hanna Barbara which is where it should go. Hey they created him. I found the movie a pretty good watch, easily likable cast here.

8.8/10. The second best animated Scooby Doo movie. Tim Curry's a welcome addition to the Scooby Doo universe as he's quite the talented actor. I liked his presence as he seemed to dominate the movie. The idea of him as a warlock, descended from a witch is an interesting idea. This, to me, is the pinnacle of good Scooby Doo animated movies as they start going down hill courtesy of the greed of Hanna Barbera higher ups and parent groups who worry too much over nothing things like this.

9.4/10. Possibly the best animated Scooby Doo movie ever made. I liked the atmosphere of an island seemingly isolated in the center of a Louisiana swamp. Throw in some zombies and were cat creatures of centuries old cultists and it's a pretty good watch. Everything seemed to have been well thought out from characters to plot. The scene of the three were cat creatures dying may be disturbing for children so parents should be careful what age their kids are before they see this. The one negative was Shaggy's voice which sometimes got on my nerves but that's a small negative at best.

The Uninvited (2009)

8.2/10. A pretty decent one. One of the few decent ones Elizabeth Banks has done outside of the Spider-Man trilogy and Our Idiot Brother. It's on the level of M Night Shyamalan's The Village. Emily Browning was also pretty decent. It's a good watch.

-70/10. A mess. An idea that should've stayed buried. This doesn't do any good for women or men in prison. Just a gripe session for women in prison.

Power Rangers (2017)

4.5/10. Something of the 90's revived that truly didn't need to be revived. Elizabeth Banks looks like Aquaman's sister with a Fu Man Chu nail fetish. Watch it if you're a hardocre fan, for me it was "Ehh. "

-40/10. Calling this a movie is the equivalent of calling Madonna a good singer, it's not true. Not only do they disregard the source material such as Tom and Jerry not talking they also have both claim they want to only be friends which was never the case in any of their many cartoons. It's just atrocious.

Super Size Me (2004)

-80/10. One of the most dangerous documentary movies ever made up there with Bowling For Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11. What's the point here? That eating too much fast food is bad for you? Wow, what a killer idea by Joe Spurlock. He's truly an idiot for doing this.

9. 7/10. An unfairly forgotten and picked on horror movie of the 80's. Here's a thought to the parents groups, don't let your kids watch these movies, not a hard thing to do. Billy's an underrated slasher as he's actually quite sympathetic. He loses his parents to a thug dressed like Santa Claus who his crazed grandfather has said would punish all naughty kids. Then he's abused by this evil woman passing herself as a nun for years until he snaps. It's a well done movie guaranteed to please slasher fans.

Hot Pursuit (2015)

-60/10. The best they could've done with the ultra annoying Witherspoon and barely coherent English speaking Vergara is have them become a lesbian couple in this dud.

Enough (2002)

-60/10. Whenever I see a Jennifer Lopez movie I know it's automatically going to stink. This movie doing the cliched ex husband's an jerk thing. Why can't they move beyond this now real old angle? Right, like the wives can't be abusive. J'Lo's a lousy singer and a lousy actress.

0/10. I was feeling generous with this rating due to the fact Sam Raimi kicked off the wave of superhero movies with the Spider-Man trilogy. He's a good film maker who's got a great amount of talent. That said, what was he thinking here? Why can't people accept the fact Sharon Stone can't act? She's void of any real talent outside of flashing her body in in either risque shots or nude scenes. Leonardo Diacaprio's just as bad here, she should've married him, they'd have blended well together. Gene Hackman's talent goes to waste as he's the only actor capable in this dreary cliche ridden Western. A better story with replacements for Stone and Dicaprio like say Linda Hamilton and Paul Rudd would've been a whole lot better.

-70/10. Yet another unnecessary sequel. This whole thing's a waste of the Looney Tunes characters where they have to focus on Bugs Bunny again when they should give Daffy Duck another try. He was partially the focus of Looney Toons:Back In Action which I think worked well. Here he's relegated to second string again.

Monster Hunter (2020)

9. 7/10. An excellent movie, the fifth one made by Paul and Milla Anderson. Here the idea of mercenaries fighting all these bad ass looking monsters in the desert is a good idea. I can only assume the critics dislike of it is because they hate every movie based on a video game and almost everything fun. Milla does pretty good as Capt Artemis, showing that same zeal she possessed in the Resident Evil franchise.

Superstore (2015)

-70/10. Nothing more than a blatant ripoff of The Office. The big difference is having that ham on two legs America Ferrera in the lead role.

Showgirls (1995)

3/10. Perhaps one of the better "So bad it's good movies of the 90's. "If it had been someone else like Winona Ryder instead of Elizabeth Berkley it would've been better. She should've never left Baysider High.

The Waterboy (1998)

9.4/10. A great movie by Adam Sandler and my second favorite movie of his. It's silly but still funny compared all the junk put out nowadays. The idea of him using his inner anger to play football's pretty interesting. Another great sports movie and done well. One of my favorites.

Maniac Cop 2 (1990)

9.7/10. Another sequel that I feel surpasses the original. Here Robert Davi plays well the kind of cop from the detective noir era of film. The surprise of Bruce Campbell and Laurene Landon's deaths early on in the movie is a nice surprise. Not too many movies do this nowadays, If anything they should bring this back nowadays. Claudia Christian does well even if she was difficult behind the scenes as I've heard. That runaway cab scene alone is a well done stunt that left me in awe. Robert Z'Dar, what a trooper. He looks even more grotesque as Cordell, looking more like a zombie as he prowls the streets of New York. Watch this great sequel Larry Cohen put out. It's worth it.

Maniac Cop (1988)

9.5/10. A darn good movie dreamed up by Larry Cohen. A well paced horror movie of the late 80's. Bruce Campbell, Laurene Landon, Tom Atkins all do great. Robert Z'Dar's also great as Matt Cordell aka The Maniac Cop. I would say this is a great movie for any Friday/Saturday night movie viewing or marathon. If you're into Larry Cohen's movies then watch this one.

Ladykiller (1996)

5. 5/10. A movie good for a laugh or two. Whoever wrote it probably had it in mind to get Judith Light nude twice or so with the plot being second. I mean, bored business wife gets with a younger man to sow her oats for awhile, cruelly dumps him then expects everything to be hunky dory? Right like that's how it goes in real life. A better way of doing this would've been for the guy to expose her then leave. Better still, she stays with him leaving her negligent husband and bratty 20 something year old daughter. After all, he made her feel good so why not? But no, in the same vain as every Lifetime movie the woman's never at fault no matter how stupidly she behaves. Frankly the younger man should've been wiser than to get with her as Judith Light's like Jacqueline Bisset and Jane Seymour, she acts like a prude.
