Spongebob Squarepants!!! 7/10 actually 8/18 for the Goofy Goober Rock!!

What makes it worse about me liking this is, I'm 33 got no kids so no real reason to watch it, I'm just a idiot!!:D

Patrick Starfish is by far the best!

* Bubba Ho-tep rating changes to a ***/*****

THe Omen; ****/*****

SCARE FACTOR: 3/5
Had some tense moments and an overall good atmosphere. Good twist at the end, even. The dated effect takes away from some of the tension and scares, but I'm not going to hold that against it.

COMEDY FACTOR: 0/5
It was serious, not one laugh at all, and I'm glad.

BLOOD & GORE: 1/5
Had some moments of gore that were done decently well. Such as the decapatation scene. I liked that one a lot. It didn't have as much as most films though, and none of them were particularly inventive or disgusting.

NUDITY & TA: 0/5
No nudity, no skin, no sex. Implied sex, but it fades away before anything at all happens.

I admit I only took the time to watch this film because of the upcoming remake this June. I wanted to view the original beforehand so I could have something to compare it with, and I am glad I did. The film certainly does have a dated effect, but is good nonetheless. I can see it translating very well into a modern-day take - if they do things scene by scene, or at least roughly without too much change.

Some scenes had a very artistic sense to them, and other scenes had the potential to be just as great. Specifically the scenes before the priest is impaled. Those were masterfully shot and executed. The scene leading up to the final, with the slow motion gun shot, can be done better for a greater effect in the remake - I think. The slow motion was very poor. Here's what I think: cut to the gun, and the bullet moving slowly as the smoke barells out behind it, and then cut to the man's hand and the knife being pushed slowly toward the boy's chest. Have it sort of cut fastly between these two and then fade to black with the gunshot sound starting then, and then move to the final scene. It has the same effect, only greater tension.

What really caught my attention in this movie was the music. I hope they redo it for the remake in a similiar fashion, as it was truly fitting. Mmm, it in beautiful crystal-clear surround sound would be amazing.

I really had no troubles with the plot of this movie, which is a good thing. Didn't see anything that could be improved upon, except for artsying up a few things here and there - which it looks like they did in the remake based on the trailer. Oh, and one last thing: The "it's all for you, Damien!" scene = win. :)

Freaks (1932)

One of the greatest horror movies ever made. Original as hell. Creepy and disturbing, and it improves with multiple viewings and a lot of thinking.

As Chelsea Quinn Yarbro said:

"...it continues, after all these years, to be a subgenre of one."

Resident Evil: apocalypse

8/10

I liked it more than the original, because this one had more action, and, instead of trying to combine science horror, action, and sci fi into one, it kept it more simple. Milla is hott in this one too, more so than the original. Better action, better story. I don't know why most people hate it.
