The Human Centipede

Steph...WTF? This movie was a trip. Its not very bloody (though there was one part where I had to look away) but its very disturbing. This movie is about a retired German surgeon who specialized in separating conjoined (Siamese) twins. He really doesn't like people and has a thing for conjoined persons. So after surgically fusing his dogs together he thinks, why not try it on humans? The doctor kidnaps 3 tourists and gets to work. When one girl tries to escape he makes her the middle piece. Really the only thing worse then someone surgically fused to your ass is you being surgically fused to someone else's ass while someone is fused to yours (GROSS!). I wouldn't say this is a must see, but if your curious and can stomach the creepiness, go for it.

Kris... I like this one. Its not for the sqirmish but if you can take it then its very entertaining. Cant wait for the sequel.

The Killer Inside Me

Steph... This movie was a trip. Small town Deputy Sheriff Lou Ford (Casey Affleck) is a baby faced, quiet man who happens to be a sociopathic, S&M loving, killer. Things get out of control when his revenge plot against the man who killed his brother get complicated and he has to keep killing people to cover up his part in killing the man's son and a hooker. Casey Affleck's performance was great. He pulls off the role with the right amount of menace. Jessica Alba also stars as the prostitute he loves but is willing to kill. Kate Hudson also stars as Lou's finance. Both of their performances are ok but their roles are pretty minor. This movie is not for everyone. I wouldn't call this a must see but if you want to see something a little different check this one out.

This is a smaller movie that didn't get a lot of buzz and was in and out of the theaters. Too bad because it is a very good one. Casey Affleck's performance was subtle but very good. For that alone you should check this one out.

Paranormal Activity 2

Steph...I LOVED this movie! It scared the crap out of me. I love the simplicity of it. I love that the actors are regular looking people that truly look frightened. I love that its just shot in someone's house. I just love the whole thing. For me, the movies that have always been the scariest are the simpler ones. I think that there is something much more terrifying about hearing a strange noise that you can't you explain than the bloodiest most expensive special effect. This movie was great, it stayed true to the first one and added to it. The only thing that bothered me was that this family installed an expensive state of the art security camera system and even though there is all this weird unexplainable stuff going on in their house they never bother to watch the tapes. WTF? But then again if people were smart in scary movies they would only last 10 minutes. So if you liked Paranormal Activity definitely go see this!

Kris.... Just as good as the first one? .... I say yes. I really liked how they integrated the first one into this one. I was worried when they announced this one because i thought maybe they where just rushing it out and the quality wouldn't be as good, but those worries melt away 15 minutes in. Like the first one this one is funny and scary in just the right amounts. I am not going to give any of the story away to ruin it but if you liked the first one you should check this one out.

The Lovely Bones

Steph...This movie was long and sad. Its about a girl who is murdered by her neighbor at age 14. She describes what her life was like before she was killed and we see what happens to her family after she dies. She also spends the movie wondering if they will ever figure out that the weird single neighbor man killed her. I didn't like the ending and it was a bit long but I still think its worth a watch.

Kris..... This one was pretty good. Nothing special but the cast is solid.Check out Stanley Tucci as one of the creepiest guys ever.

Jackass 3D

Steph...One of the things that Kris likes best about me is that I am not a typical girl. I don't do "chick flicks," I'm not particularly sentimental, and I'd rather be hit by a truck than cry. However, make me watch Jackass and 3 minutes in I'm all typical girl. I think I only saw about half the movie. I'm sorry. I know people like this stuff but I just can't do flying poo and snakes. I just can't. But in all honesty there were parts that were funny. If you can get past all the gross stuff its pretty entertaining. So if your a fan of the show and the other 2 movies, go see it (if you haven't already). If your not, its nothing you need to see.

Kris... This is everything you need to see. Sometimes it is best just to do something stupid and laugh and thats what this is. Is it gross? Yes very much so. Poop and barf and drinking sweat. Everyone in the cast is amazing in their own way, but Knoxville is obviously the leader and the most hard core of them. All in all I say this is a must see movie. Just sit back and laugh your ass off.

Devil

Steph.. This is M. Night Shyamalan's newest film. In this movie five people get trapped in an elevator. As if that wasn't bad enough, one of these people happen to be the devil. People keep dying one by one until its revealed which one is the killer/devil *Special side note - I so called who it was Kris!* This is one of the best movies M. Night has done in years (Seriously, the last movie about the plants. Really?!?). Not one of his best movies but definitely improved. I think this is worth seeing.

Kris... Ok after checking out this movie online turns out M. Night only wrote this one and didn't direct it. But I enjoyed this one. It was suspenseful ,well acted and even had some funny moments. It is totally worth checking out.

My Soul To Take

Steph...So this is Wes Craven's newest teen slasher. In this one a man at the beginning of the movie discovers that he is possessed and is "The Ripper," a serial killer who has been killing people in the town. He tries to turn himself in but his other personality kills his pregnant wife and goes after their young daughter. The unborn baby and the daughter survive. However, there is a big ambulance accident while taking the injured ripper to the hospital and its assumed that the killer is dead but nobody knows for sure. Six other babies are born that night at the same time The Ripper's baby is born for some reason also. Cut to 16 years later. All the babies are teenagers. They celebrate their birthdays/Ripper Night by gathering in the woods and pushing over a "Ripper" puppet to keep them and the town safe for another year. However, this time they are interrupted and the puppet does not get pushed over so I guess that means carnage has to ensue (whatever).

This movie wasn't completely unwatchable. It had some funny moments "You can't attack me I spit in the river!" But what really bothered me was the fact that it was so dark, literally dark. I know its a horror film but not every bedroom, bathroom, and hall way had to be so dark. I keep joking with Kris that this town must not agree with electricity. But anyways, its not awful but nothing you need to rush right out and see.

Kris.... Steph really nailed this one. I wouldn't say you should rush out and see it,but its worth a rent.

Harry Brown

Steph...Michael Cain is "Harry Brown" in this movie about a retired man whose friend is killed by the street punks living in their neighborhood. After the cops pretty much do nothing, Harry Brown goes on a rampage. Tracking down the gang members and shooting them. This movie was good, but a little long. At times I almost thought of using the subtitle feature just because the English accents were thick and mumbled. All and all not bad.

Kris.... I really liked this one. Micheal Caine is angry Grrrrrrr. He is one of the best actors of the last 30 years and he holds this movie well. You can really see the sorrow in his face and then the rage as we takes out these punks one by one. I also had a hard time with the accents but you can figure out what is going on by the action. All in all this was good and worth checking out.

Afterlife

Steph...Liam Neeson, Christina Ricci, and Justin Long star in this movie about a girl (Christina Ricci) who gets into a car accident after having a fight with her boyfriend (Justin Long). She wakes up after the accident to find herself in a funeral director's house with the funeral director/undertaker (Liam Neeson) telling her that she's dead. But is she really dead or is Liam Neeson some psycho telling her that she's dead when she's not. The movie goes back and fourth for a while and midway through you figure out what's going on. This movie was very frustrating because you watch a super naked Christina Ricci running through a house to stupid to figure out what's going on. Liam Neeson was very flat and Justin Long was almost completely useless. Unless you want to see Christina Ricci naked, this movie is not worth watching.

Kris.... I thought this movie was ok until the end. There was no pay off at all. Another frustrating thing is Christina Ricci's character never asks really obvious questions through out the whole movie. But she is really naked for a large portion of the movie and that was cool.

The Blind Side

Steph...I'm going to make this short and sweet. I liked this movie. I liked Sandra Bullock as the mom. It was just a bit long and overly sentimental. But all and all not bad.

Kris.... Blah blah blah. This movie was whatever. How is this a come back for sandra bullock when she has never stopped making movies? She is solid here as she always is but not oscar worthy. Women will love the sentimentality and guys might like the football coming of age story. But i was kind of bored with this.

The Princess and the Frog

Steph...Its basically your typical Disney princess movie. The music is a little better because they threw in some New Orleans style jazz. And it was nice to see a "princess" with some ambition (wanting to open her own restaurant instead of marrying a prince). Other than that its a typical Disney movie.

Kris... I can appreciate what Disney was doing here. Its the typical Disney story with the twist that the main character isn't white. But having said that all the characters are likable and the music is very good. They really nailed down the New Orleans feeling for this.So i say if you have kids then rent this one for them to see.

Prince of Persia : The Sands of Time

Steph...As action adventure movies go, this one was just ok. I really didn't understand why all the actors in this movie had British accents, I mean they're supposed to be Persian right? But really who cares about all that? I only watched this movie to see hunky Jake Gyllenhaal with long hair in a Gladiator outfit. Can you say Hell Ya (insert purring noise). Keeping that in mind this movie does not disappoint. Its definitely worth watching just for that. So if you're a Gyllenhaal fan this is a must see, if you're not its fun but not a must see.

Kris.... This movie was slightly better than ok. There was some action and some laughs but it was missing something to make it really good.

The Fourth Kind

Steph...So I appreciate when directors and/or movies try a new style but the split screen was just really annoying. In this movie about supposed alien abductions they had a split screen showing "actual footage" next to actors re-enacting the "actual footage." Its a nice idea but none of this movie was real making the "actual footage" pointless. It was more like two separate groups of actors doing the same scene. The movie itself was mildly interesting but just kind of whatever.

Kris.... This movie was pointless. They should have stuck with one way of film making. Either show actors recreating the story or show the (real) footage as a (documentary). Switching back and forth and even showing both side by side was annoying to say the least.You aren't going to learn anything or see anything really good because just when things get good the camera always has static or shuts off all together. So i say stay away from this useless movie.
