8.7/10. I grew up on Mr Schumacher's two Batman movies. I understand some people's dislike but I still loved both. I was coming of age and seeing someone like Uma Thurman playing Poison Ivy was nice. The story plays out like one of the comic books, everybody in there did pretty well. Yes the one time I can stand George Clooney. Some, like me, just enjoy this as a means of relaxation. It's way more entertaining than The Dark Knight Rises because it doesn't try doing any lectures about the economy and the class warfare. Rest well Mr Schumacher.

9.5/10. I enjoyed this movie. I grew up on Looney Tunes, still one of the best cartoons on tv. Here Daffy Duck actually takes the lead instead of Bugs Bunny. I liked the pacing, the plot, as well as how Brendan Fraser, Jenna Elfman, and Steve Martin completely owned it. They completely understood the material, probably fans as well. If anything this movie, I feel, succeeds in its goals of reviving both Looney Tunes and entertaining kids.

10/10. One of the best shows of the 80's as well number one best detective shows. I find Mrs Angela Lansbury an absolute delight. She plays Jessica Fletcher as a kind, sharp, tough determined person mixed with Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Dr Haledjian, and Miss Marple. I would be honest in saying this is still better than modern detective shows like Monk, the whole Law and Order franchise, etc. She shows humor, an inquisitive nature, feistiness, and determination. The idea of a widowed school teacher/mystery writer/ detective is genius. If anything, this show should've gotten several Emmys for Best Actress and Best Show or whatever. I enjoy 11 of the 12 seasons, skipped Season 6. Mrs Lansbury is a gem of an actress here and still is the best ever in TV mystery shows. She possessed such a charm without needing to be glamorous like Charlie's Angels, smart alecky like Moonlighting, or defying superiors constantly like Starsky And Hutch. I feel that she was a true feminist like Susan B. Anthony without needing to put on false machismo like Police Woman did. I feel for perfect mystery TV it'll always be Jessica (J.B.) Fletcher in Cabot Cove.

9/10. A well done TV movie. I would say it did at least 70-80% of the book unlike its predecessor and successor. The whole movie seemed well done from Angela Bettis, Rena Sofer, and Kandyse McClure. They all did rather well. If anything I wish more TV movies put out of the effort this one did. True the original's beloved but don't sell this version short. If anything Bettis plays the character as more withdrawn, afraid to even step out into the world. A must for fans of the original 1976 version and 2013 version. This 2002 TV one does well. I enjoyed it like I did the other two.

9.6/10. My second favorite of the Nightmare franchise behind the remake. The idea of Freddy possessing a teenager's body sounds pretty good. Sure it was done in The Exorcist but still works here.Robert Englund was in his prime here, a great mix of scary and humorous. People forget Freddy's sadistic and he finds the idea of tormenting teenagers fun so naturally he'd be funny at times. Humor can be scary depending on what one person finds funny like The Joker in Batman (1989). I liked the effort put into the movie here as trying to live up to its predecessor was no easy task. It does pretty good and is excellent. I like this entry better than Dream Warriors and The Dream Child.

8.8/10. A pretty decent movie here. The 2nd theatrical one which showed promise. I enjoyed the performances of Julianne Moore, Judy Greer, and Chloe Grace Moretz. Moretz as Carrie did rather well showing she had potential provided she sticks to good scripts. The use of video for her humiliation was an interesting and updated idea from the original. True it suffered from studio interference, like Black Christmas 2006, still it did well. I was impressed with the well done prom scene. It looked real, well updated from the original. Two touching moments that I noticed were when Margaret looked newborn Carrie in the eyes and just rocked her. The other being Carrie lifting Ms. Desjarden off the gym floor to the stage for her safety. Clearly she cared about her.While Carrie of 1976 is still the masterpiece, Carrie of 2013 shouldn't be tossed aside as an inferior remake. It's not perfect but not terrible either, I'd call it pretty decent.

10/10. A masterpiece of horror movies. Carrie is scary, sad, and relatable all at the same time. Sissy Spacek's masterful performance as Carrie White is one to be remembered. She plays the character with such skill that I felt sorry for her within minutes after the opening credits. Nobody else could play the role as excellently as she did. A few have but not with that same pizzazz as Spacek. People remember the prom scene mostly. I remember the build to this like a bomb ready to go off. If anything. Carrie represents how man can only take so much cruelty from both people and the world itself before snapping. This movie's a must see for horror fans during the silver age of horror going from the 1970's to the early 90's. I really liked Sissy Spacek's performance in it, she's talented and gorgeous.

9.5/10. I thought the idea was pretty good as was the Shakespeare idea. A zombie take on Romeo And Juliet's pretty clever. This is also the one and only time I can stand John Malkovich. Here Nicholas Hoult and Teresa Palmer prove quite believable as the star crossed lovers. You can't help but like them as I did. They seemed to be the stand ins for any couple such as mixed ones. It's got charm, pretty good story, pretty good acting. This was one of 2013's best movies.I enjoyed this movie.

9.5/10. One of Milla Jovovich's best non Resident Evil movies. She does great here, should really try for more like this.I liked seeing her play a vulnerable woman instead of her usual kick butt type. This goes against that role in which Milla does an excellent job.Obviously she can't play Alice forever and this movie seems to indicate she's capable of going beyond that character. The idea of not remembering people's faces as a serial killer was after her interested me and seemed quite intriguing. If anything else, Faces In The Crowd should be satisfying for fans of Milla Jovovich.

9.6/10. A nice sequel and the first movie I taped on HBO's Tuesday Night Movie. The story explaining the Turtles origin is good with emotion mixed in well. Paige Turco was my favorite April O'Neil until Megan Fox, she's still dear to me. The appearance of Tokka and Rahzar was cool even though I'd have preferred Bebop and Rocksteady. Still compromise doesn't hurt. If anything, this movie only added to the Turtles mythos nicely even with an appearance by Vanilla Ice. David Warner plays the role of scientist well with a hint of possible mad genius, possibly hinting at Baxter Stockman. I would rank my top 10 Super Hero movies this way: 1. Spider Man (2002) 2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) 3. Spider Man 2 (2004) 4. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret Of The Ooze (1991) 5. Venom (2018) 6. Super Girl (1984) 7. Deadpool (2016) 8. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out Of The Shadows (2016) 9. Deadpool 2 (2018) 10. Amazing Spider Man (2012) / Spider Man 3 (2007) / Batman Forever (1995).

9.9/10.My favorite video game brought to the big screen. So much was done right here from casting to story to incorporating some of their moves. Sure some called it dumb or whatever but I disagree. This isn't for those people but for those of us who loved the game and wanted to see it made into a movie.Jean Claude Van Damme, Raul Julia, Ming Na Wen, Wes Studi, Kylie Minogue were excellent. If anything this was the best fighting game movie of all time. I still think it's in the top 10 or so alongside Resident Evil, Super Mario Bros, Silent Hill, and Mortal Kombat. Street Fighter will always be special for me as it was the second movie I taped on VHS.

7.8/10. I honestly liked the remake as much as Dante's original.Sure it's gory but hey it doesn't detract from the movie for the most part.I found the presence of Elisabeth Shue nice. She should've won a Golden Globe at least for Molly. She plays the heroic sheriff well, one who struggles to save the town from killer piranhas. It works because she's not the kick butt type, she has to try real hard which is the heroine I like. This type represents real life better than those in Hunger Games and Snow White And The Huntsman. The piranha here were also a scarier looking lot than their original 1978 predecessors. You definitely could feel the fear of not being able to see the unknown beneath the water.

9.7/10. The way they should've done the original Nightmare back in 1984. I like how friendly and kind Freddy Krueger was shown as having been in the past. Then we learn he was a child molester. This worked a lot better than the child murderer idea because it taps into our fear of who can you trust. Sure Jackie Earle Haley isn't Robert Englund but he still delivers a solid performance. I liked the burn design, just creepy as heck.Yeas I also found Rooney Mara's performance pretty good despite her real life attitude. She's more believable than Heather Langenkamp who acted so stiff and wooden. This is how A Nightmare On Elm Street should've been done.

9.8/10. An excellent sequel. I enjoyed it immensely. The story was spot on perfect almost. The weight of the world on Peter's shoulders was handled well here. You can sympathize with him as we've all been there at some point. The villain of Doc Ock is done in an interesting way. He's not out for world domination but for the goal of trying to help mankind, just delusional about it. The whole cast from Maguire and Molina down to Simmons are well done here. They seem to flow perfectly here. I would put it as one of the best superhero movies of all time. Spider Man's the one who made the MCU possible. This is how you do a superhero sequel. Well done and still holds up excellently.

9.7/10. A sequel that surpasses its predecessor. I liked how it took its cue from "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner." The character of Shrek honestly seems like a real person. He has his faults, prejudices, and is insecure. This connects with the audience such as people like myself. I like how he sacrifices for Fiona showing how far he's willing to go for someone. This is again just like anyone in real life would do. It's well done, easily a classic.Kids and adults will always love this one. It's a masterpiece.

Rob245

7.6/10. Possibly the best movie Ashley Judd's made with her as the lead. She's pretty solid here with a stellar performance alongside Morgan Freeman and Cary Elwes I like the pacing here as it mixes detective noir, thriller, and action in a nice package. Sure she's a whiner nowadays but no denying Judd's capability. If anything, she should've stuck with this sort of solid, good script.

Rob245

8.8/10. Possibly my favorite of Anna Faris' movies. She's just so likeable like Leslie Nielsen. Her being a Playboy Bunny is actually an interesting idea. She's not vain maybe a little ditzy but the kind of friend the girls of the low rung sorority in the movie need. I liked seeing her that famous Marilyn Monroe dress from The Seven Year Itch. This is a gem well done by Happy Gilmore Studios. Anna Faris is a favorite actress of mine.

8.8/10. An absolutely hilarious movie of the late 80's. It works because of Weird Al Yankovic. The idea of a guy managing a UHF station might seem dull and simple. But I thoroughly enjoyed it. Weird Al seemed to have this frenzied kind of energy as he really sold the movie. Everyone seemed in perfect harmony here as the movie was one of the better comedies of the 80's. If you watch hopefully you'll like it.

Rob245

8.5/10. The best X Men movie I've seen. It's also the best performance by Lawrence. I would venture this could match the 2000 movie in excellence, perhaps as an equal. True it takes liberties with the Cold War but there's been other filmmakers who're guilty of this. Michael Fassbender really sticks out here as the sympathetic Magneto. He's a man torn by vengeance and trying to do the right thing. We all probably struggle with something like this. A well put together movie.

Rob245

7.1/10. The first Simon Pegg as well as Megan Fox movie I ever saw. It's a pretty good watch with Kirsten Dunst, Jeff Bridges, and Gillian Anderson doing great too. I didn't care for the cliche of the guy goes for the other girl, Dunst, instead of the one he'd liked, Fox. It should've indulged in male fantasy here. Still it does a great job mocking the culture of celebrity and people who wish to be one.
