Sometimes overlooked in the historical importance of EASY RIDER is that it started the practice of using compilation soundtracks of previously recorded music by multiple artists.

My Thoughts:
A real good action movie for me, a bit straight forward movie. Denzel Washington with a race against time to catch  John Travolta, a classic bad vs good, and i enjoyed it from start to finish. For me personally its good to see Travolta as a action villian, as he did in the "old days" and i think both Washington & Travolta is doing great roles in this movie. For those who hasnt seen it yet, i would reccomand it to get it Both the sound and picture is just super great in HD!

My Thoughts:
This is a movie that actually suprised me quite a bit. Its a quite dark movie, where Angelina Jolie plays some kind of a special detective with a dark side to her. And she's specialized to catch serial killers. And we follow her and her team, while they are trying to catch a brutal and sick serial killer. And its a lot of twists and turns in the movie, and you will get suprised in almost every corner. A dark thriller, a real good movie. With a good storyline and a good plot. A movie you guys should try to watch, if you havent done it allready!
And for me personally, its nice to see an oldschool movie with Angelina Jolie, before she stopped eating and stuff.  Good to see Oldschool Angelina. Though the movie is a few years old. I am very glad i bought it when i did

My Thoughts:
I just want to start of by saying, its nice to see Katie Holmes back in the lead role again. When it comes to this movie, i dont know what to think or say. Its a very weird movie, its creepy in some places and just weird. Its a very slow movie. And for me personally i dont know what they want to say with this movie really. For the horror part of the movie, some places it was good, i found it scary some places, and the ending took me by suprise, i didnt see that coming at all
But i will say this, i think this movie is for special interesteed. I dont think everyone would like it.
But all in all, a weird by ok horror movie.

My Thoughts:
Usually i'm not that in to comedys, its so easy to make a real bad comedy. And that happens waay to often unfortunetly imo. But i always like a real good comedy that makes me laugh. And this one i got reccomanded to me, so i finally watched it. And the movie was ok, it made me laugh, and the actresses was real good too i think, and the storyline and plot was fun too, and the some of the lines was hilarious But with that beeing said, the movie lasted for over 2 hours, and that a bit long for a comedy i think, when a comedy last for over 2 hours, it should be as good as Ace Ventura, imo. And i knew how the movie would end, before the ending it self. So those things drag it a little down, but all in all an good comedy that made me laugh. And would reccomand it.

My Thoughts: Wasn't sure if I would enjoy this one, but since I do like biopics, I decided to give it a try.

I was pleasantly surprised by the story, how well it was put together, and how quickly the story moves.  If there were not too many "Artistic" leanings in the film, shows an interesting story  of the singular drive of a very powerful and controversial man in US history.  I would definitely recommend this film, even for those that are not into biopics.

My Thoughts:
Sat down to watch this with the kids.  I really wasn't sure what to expect.  The story catches you in the beginning, and really keep your attention to the end.  No things blowing up, no gun fights, no over the top special effects.  In all a really good story, with just enough comedy thrown in to keep it lively.  Would definitely recommend to watch (especially with family)

My Score: 4.8/5

My Thoughts:
This horror movie, i didnt know what to think of it, it had got a lot of mixed reactions. Some good and some very bad. And anywhere i read about it, in the magazines (Empire etc.) all were saying that Evil Dead 2 was way better, and now i finally got to watch The Evil Dead, and i have to say that i really enjoyed it a lot. Not the best actors of the decade, but still a good movie that i enjoyed watching, lot of blood and gore, so if your in to that, (SAW, Hostel etc.) i think you would like this one too. And i cant wait to get the Evil Dead 2, since that is supposedly much better!
For you guys that have seen both 1 and & 2. Wich did you like the best?
