Shaun of the Dead

Filed under S - DVD Movie Club

A comedy-horror that was neither funny nor scary. If you like watching
zombies get killed, don’t watch this because not enough zombies get
killed in it. It would have ruled if instead of The Winchester, the local
pub was called The Rocket Launcher so they could have blown away a ton
of stupid zombies. Everyone knows you need at least a 12-gauge to take out
zombies; rifles just won’t do the trick effectively. The other thing that
would have made this movie awesome is if Shaun was like a Ninjitsu Master
instead of a half-retarded British loser with no skills. The ending was
the best part… in fact you can probably skip the entire movie until the last
couple of scenes and save about an hour and fifteen minutes. I gave it a 1.5
because I expected it to be much better than it was.

SAW

Filed under S - DVD Movie Club

This was definitely the best movie I have ever seen in my entire life where
someone saws off their own leg. Not many films can boast that kind of raw,
leg-sawing action. The thing that made the entire flick so amazing was the
end, because it totally made my day. It was so sick and twisted that I loved
it. In fact, I was thinking about amputating one of my own limbs with a rusty
chisel since I was so inspired by this film. The next time some high school kid
decapitates himself and leaves a suicide note, they’re going to blame SAW for
influencing him in the wrong way, and that’s just fine with me. Go see this
4 of a movie and you’re guaranteed to go through the rest of your life wishing
you had at least one missing extremity.

Hero

Filed under H - DVD Movie Club

Have you ever seen that one movie, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”? Hero is basically the same movie except with different actors and scenes. Also it had tons of black arrows in it all the time for some reason. I think it was awesome, because it had a real message to it, and the super-secret 10-meter killing technique that Jet Li’s character developed in the movie blew my mind. I gave it a 4 because although it rocked and was better than that other movie which was sort of the same, I thought the ending was drawn out too much. They could’ve easily ended it five minutes sooner than they did and it would have had a much sweeter effect.
