"The Paperboy" 6/10

Nice to see John Cusack as such a disgusting character.

I liked Piranha as well, very underrated in my opinion.
Versus was the last that I watched, but the most recently made horror I saw was The World's End. It was pretty awesome, like Invasion of the Body Snatchers if it had been a British comedy. It's easily the best comedy I've seen all year, and I'd recommend it to anyone with a sense of humor who loves science fiction apocalypse movies.

I have watched the following films for the first time:

The Orphanage: 9/10 An excellent film, but it did not adequately build the scares. Horror movies do not require this, but in this film it seemed to partially build the suspense, but not carry it through. I did enjoy the performances, especially of the mother and the main kid. It was pretty easy to identify with the characters. Furthermore, the story was pretty interesting. It was interesting how the film very effectively explored the idea of being a child. For instance, the references to Peter Pan (which deals heavily with the idea of being a kid) and Santa Clause. On a sidenote, I thought the main kid was kind of cute.

Iron Sky: 9/10

Think Nazis from the Moon invade Earth. It is pretty good and quite funny. Additionally, while being funny, there is some deeper serious points brought up about modern politics.

I watched the following films that I had seen before:

The Devil's Rejects: 10/10

One of the best sequels from the 2000s. It was nearly almost as good as House of 1000 Corpses. I especially liked the moral ambiguity. Meaning that the "good guy" was almost as bad as the "bad guys". Thus, as interesting discussion on good and evil, human nature, and the nature of revenge. A great continuation of the first film.

The Fourth Kind: 9/10

A very creepy alien abduction film. The acting in this film was really excellent, especially Milla Jokovich. I also liked liked the documentary feel of the film that adds to the realism of the film. Additionally, while some questions loom, I think that it was still a compelling narrative. One other thing that I liked was that there was virtually no physical forms shown (biological beings), which greatly added to the creepiness of the film. Anyway, another excellent film.

Monster Brawl

This has two of my favorite things: Wrestling, and Monsters. Its like a wrestling pay per view only at a cemetary and with monsters. Definitely awesome.

5 out of 5

The 1944 version or the 2000s remake of A Tale of Two Sisters?

Fantastic. Worth a watch just for the chase sequences and stunts alone. Film's overcrowded with stars yet doesn't feel like it - just one linear storyline and the characters fit right into it (have to compliment the director for this).

And I didn't see that ending coming! Statham's coming for part SEVEN!
