This was a crime/thiller that ended up being a fantastic movie in my opinion. with great performances from both Brad Pitt as well as Morgan Freeman, this movie is centered around a serial killer who kills the victims based on the seven deadly sins. the plot is set up alot like the saw movies, and it can be seen that they may of stole a few ideas from this movie. personally i thought this was better than saw, because of the acting as well as the story that seemed to be very catchy and wanting more and more from the viewer. great plot twists, and impossible to guess what is going to happen next.

The Silence of the Lambs
Ethan:
a movie that swept the Oscars when it came out in 1991, the movie has some amazing acting especially by Anthony Hopkins in his role as Dr. Hannibal Lector. this is more of a thriller/mystery than a horror film that some portray it as. the main idea is that they want to use Dr. Hannibal to find another serial killer by the name of buffalo bill. this is a great movie with plot twists and never knowing what is going to happen next. just wait for Hannibal's escape scene...
nothing bad to say about this movie, fantastic
Movie Rating: 5 Instant Classic

FAST ZOMBIES! probably the scariest thing ever. usually you can out walk the un-dead but these zombies or "infected" as they are called in the movie are rabid rage filled versions of normal lame ass zombies. the idea presented in this movie has a lot more potential then the movie gave in my opinion and it could of been made much scarier. overall the director and his staff took a great idea and did not live up to the potential that it had. not enough blood and killing, boring at times, slow, wierd plot.
really? this could of been so much better
Movie rating: 3 If there's nothing else

Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Ethan:
Zombie movies are awesome, there really isn't anything to not like. Zombie movies don't require good acting, or any plot for that matter. Dawn of the Dead does though have some sort of an interesting plot and the zombie fighting action is thrilling as always. this is one of the better zombie movies out there and as with all zombie movies there are always some doses of humor present. get your shotguns and machetes ready....the zombie apocalypse is coming.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Ethan:
Interesting adaption of the video game which gives life to the idea of creating movies out of other video games, which i am all for. the story moves well and has some original ideas around the typical "hero" plot. while the main idea of the plot is predictable like all hero movies the inner workings of the story are original and provide some entertaining action. I'm not too fond of the the choice of Jake Gyllenhal as the lead actor, this movie could of been cast much better.
nothing special just a regular movie

The Shining
Ethan:
After going through countless lists of "the scariest movies of all time" this one is always top 5 and alot of the time takes the number one spot. Based on the book by Steven King, this movie adaption is fantastic and full of so much more then a typical horror film. there is so much more to this movie then the horror and so many things that leave open endings and leave questions to be answered once the movie is over. is it just cabin fever or is the hotel really haunted? what is the make of the final scene? these questions are left ot be decided by the viewer and have no straight right answer. the directing and filming is unbelievable, and without it the movie would not be what it is. Jack Nicholson puts together a fantastic performance as he seems to grow more insane with every scene. trailer ;
amazing acting, directing, and filming creates a masterpiece of horror

Resident Evil: Extinction
Ethan:
the latest installment in the series of movies, this one wasn't really that much better then the other tow, and probably the worst one yet. not because it was actually bad, but just because they are running out of ideas. there are only so many ways to kill a bunch of zombies. the "last boss" fight was pretty lame and i was expecting something a bit more interesting. this movie portrays the theme of solidarity so much that it almost makes this movie depressing and boring. overall, if all your looking for is zombies dieing (i share this guilty pleasure) then this is a good flick.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse
Ethan:
the second in the series, we are returned to where the first one ended and we are set to find out that the virus unleashed by the Umbrella corporation was not kept in the hive and has escaped into the world. this movie takes place on a larger scale then the predecessor and for good reason too and it keeps the movies interesting by not following the same plot. we find that the main character has become ten times more bad ass since the last one and now instead of being scared of zombies she runs around the city killing them all. very entertaining to say the least.

Goodfellas
Bryan Howe:
This film views the mob lives of three pivotal figures in the 1960's and 70's New York. Based on a true story, the movie revolves around Henry and his friends as they make their way from petty crimes, to full out murders. This film is one of those stories for those of you who love intense drug dealing gangster movies. For me, I found this movie absolutely amazing.

Bryan Howe:
If you are a zombie freak, and are thinking about getting ready for the zombie apocalypse, I suggest watching this movie because it has everything that you would probably want to know. Its about a group of scientists who let an experiment gone wrong out into the world, and it ends up creating a world of zombie infested nightmares. This was a good watch, but a little freaky for my taste. For those of yo who love movies about the end of the world, this ones for you.
Movie Rating - 3 If There Nothing Else
Ethan Howe:
this being the first movie in the series is for sure lives up to a standard that the rest have to follow. one of the best aspects is following around the main character as she tries to figure out her life and what has happened in "the hive". deep down she knows what is going on here but she cant seem to get it out. trapped in a huge underground maze? check. blood thirsty zombies? check. suspense? check. this is a fantastic movie that sets the tone for the rest of the series.

The A-Team
Bryan Howe:
After seeing the previews, I knew I must see this movie. After walking out of the theater, I was like "holy crap that was sweet". Basically it was about a team of advanced military soldiers who are the best at what they do. After being betrayed by their own country, they decide to get back at them. If you are a action freak them i suggest you see this movie right away.

Shrek Forever And After
Bryan Howe:
I am a big Shrek fan, so when i heard this movie was coming out I felt like I had to go see it. To my surprise, it wasn't EVERYTHING i thought it would be. It was a good movie, but i felt like there was something missing. Shrek gets put into this alternate reality where all the original characters are not the characters you have been seeing for the last three movies. Other than that, i would say its a movie you should go see if you are a Shrek fan.

Get Him to the Greek
Bryan Howe
This was a highly anticipated movie that defiantly made me want to go see it after seeing the preview. Aaron Greenberg must a way to get an international rock star to the Greek theater for a concert or else he will lose his job. The problem is, the rock star is Aldous Snow who doesnt take kindly to orders. If you loved the movie the Hangover, this movie will meet your needs for that same kind of movie.
