I'm honestly not quite sure on what I should say...

There were a few cheap laughs...

No plot whatsoever...

Moments of pure stupidity and disgust...

Worst $9 I've spent in a long time...

How the hell keeps releasing these movies? Why the hell do I keep watching them? They should have left the movie parody movies to the Wayans brothers.

Could that be all there is to be said? No, I have one more thing to say about 2008's Disaster Movie... It was just plain awful.

I was eight years old when this film came out in 1999 and back then I absolutely loved it. Just recently, after remembering how much I loved it then, I thought it would be fun to watch it again.

That was a mistake, because everything about this movie is purely idiotic. What was I thinking? The acting is almost indescribable and the plot is a train wreck.

My advice to those out there is that this movie should only be watched by children at the absolute most. Young children and hope that the parents don't have to watch it with them.

Kids will love the goofy moments while the parents will cringe. So it depends on your perspective... If you've made it to junior high school, then you'll hate this movie.

Let me start off where everybody else does... Paris Hilton. Yes, her performance was not the best, but don't let that deter you. "House of Wax" has a genuine creepy feel with good performances from Elisha Cuthbert, Chad Michael Murray, Brian Van Holt and Jared Padalecki.

With the classic plot of a group of teens going on a trip when suddenly things go awry, there are moments that are unexpected and leave you thinking even after the credits have rolled. There are clues given throughout the film that give the audience a chance to piece together what the hell is going on before it is revealed at the end. Those are always the best sorts of movies.

Though there are moments of 'classic horror movie plot syndrome' that may cause some to chuckle, it makes up for it with the special effects, semi-original themes and the antagonists. I'd call it a pretty damn good two hours of entertainment.

7/10

I grew up on the first Sandlot and you know what? THEY SHOULD HAVE LEFT IT ALONE! The Sandlot is a fantastic movie(one of my top favorites) and it has been by itself for 12 years and now they have to go and make one of the world's worst TV movies for its sequel. Where should I begin?

1) THE PLOT IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FIRST ONE! Group of kids lose something over the fence and spend their summer trying to come up with a clever plan to retrieve it because of some unknown "monster" on the other side. Also the feud between the rookie team and the league team. "You play ball like a girl!" That entire scene was exactly the same as in the original. Exactly the same...

2) CHARACTERS ARE BASICALLY THE SAME! One baseball hot-shot, a fat kid, one black kid, two brothers, Smalls (Scott Smalls younger half-brother) and they did mix it up a little bit, they threw in three girls who play softball. They only decided to give these characters different names. Like in the original, the dog was called "The Beast" and in this movie the dog is called "The Great Fear." What is that?

3) NOBODY IN THIS MOVIE COULD ACT! With the exception of James Earl Jones of course, he was awesome as he always is. I'm still trying to figure out why in the world he would take this role...

This movie is just plain insulting to anyone who has seen and has fallen in love with the 1993 movie "The Sandlot" because how they have basically taken every single scene and twisted it to fit the 70's. I'm afraid to even think about what "The Sandlot 3" is going to be about...

I give this 1/10 stars because that is as low as the scale goes.

"Blood and Chocolate" is basically a Romeo and Juliet type of story with one of the world's most fascinating mythical creatures mixed into it. And it works! Vivian(Agnes Bruckner) is a young American loup-garou (werewolf)living in Romania with her aunt and the rest of her "pack" after her parents were killed when she was younger. She's always been the one to do things out of the ordinary and has always wanted to defy traditions that have lasted for thousands of years.

Aiden(Hugh Dancy) is an American artist who is studying the loup-garou for a graphic novel that he's working on and one night in a church he runs into Vivian. He is instantly drawn to her and wants tries to get closer to her, but she won't allow it.

Vivian also starts to find herself drawn to him, yet her pack is keeping a close eye on the two of them. This is because every seven years the leader of the pack (Olivier Martinez) gets to choose a new wife and Vivian has caught his eye. Soon Aiden gets mixed up in things that Vivian tried so hard to keep him away from.

"Blood and Chocolate" has to be one of the better thrillers ever made that doesn't revolve around tons of blood, guts and gore. In my opinion, what blood that was present, it was very realistic and tasteful.

The actors did a fantastic job and their characters were very believable. Hugh Dancy's accent has to be one of the best American accents I have heard from British actors, though there are certain things that he says to give it away.

I highly recommend that you go and see "Blood and Chocolate," though for fair warning, I have not yet read the book and this opinion of mine on the movie is based only on the movie, no comparison to the book at all.
