| BROTHERS GRIMM, THE (PG-13) MIRAMAX / DEMENSION FILMS (Theater) 2005 Starring: Matt Damon, Heath ledger, Lena Headey, Monica Bellucci, Peter Stormare & more. I was quite anxious to check out this movie. I'm a big fan of their stories, because they are dark & twisted, unlike most of the Disney versions. The movie starts out with the brothers listening to people of a small town talking of a witch that is haunting the village. They take lots of notes & inform them of what they will do & how much it will cost them. After they defeat the witch it is revealed that it's a set up by them & their friends. They continue to move from town to town doing this with each new folklore they discover, until they find themselves in the middle of a real fairy tale. There is a lot of cool special effects & a great story that mixes little bits of all their stories into one. There is some really good action & comedy parts as well. This is a good flick, especially for fans who know their stories!!! www.miramax.com/THEBROTHERSGRIMM |
| CHEERLEADER MASSACRE (R) CALIFILM / JUNIPER POST INC. (VHS) 2003 I thought this might be a some what decent horror movie, but I was wrong. This film starts off with this group of friends at a college, where some of the girls are cheerleaders. they are just finishing up practice & getting ready to go on a trip to some cabin in the woods. They arrive at the cabin & everything seems to be fine. They all start unwinding & having a good time drinking & hanging out. Once they begin to split off with each other, bad things happen. The friends start getting killed off & no one knows who's doing it. Every time you think you know who it is, they get killed. There was a lot of poor acting & the story was very bad too. If they didn't show the first scene you couldn't even have the title of the film. There was no gore & very little blood. The only thing that ws good was a few nude scenes & they weren't even that good!!! |
| CUT AND RUN (R) RACING PICTURES (VHS) 1985 Starring: Lisa Blount, Leonard Mann, Willie Aames, Richard Lynch, Richard Bright & more. This is a film from 1985 about a camera man & reporter who head into the jungle to search for a missing son of a TV producer, looking for a big story. Once they arrive in the jungle they discover many other things. They run into cannibalism & a major drug war which threatens to take their own lives. They fight & struggle to cover this story, but stay alive in the process. The movie is a bit slow o start off with & once they discover the drug war the action picks up a bit. This is an ok film that's ok for one viewing!!! |
