This movie is low budget but the cast is actually pretty good. I don’t know the casts very well as they are not so popular but they are a deserving cast but unfortunately, the movie just really isn’t that good at all. In fact, it’s just not good.

The plot for the movie is a bit overused but I think no matter how overused a plot is, as long as you know how to make your own mark with it then it would seem original. The movie is about a big bag of money which was unclaimed. 5 people’s lives were the main focus for the movie and how they will do things just to get the bag of money. Eventually, the fight for cash became deadly and they started to be greedy and doing terrible things just to get the money.

It’s like a game of who stands last. The person who stands last wins! Just in this case, those who lose actually lose their lives.

Christopher Hutson’s Bled

This is a vampire movie that does not follow with the traditional belief we have about vampires. It wants to go away from the usual and create a new version of how vampires come to be. Although vampires are indeed fiction but they want to make the vampires seem real with how they blend it in the story as if the vampires are from another dimension and they thrive by the blood of their victims so they can cross over into our realm.

In the story, the young artist named Sai was seduced by a foreigner to try a drug that has long been forgotten which is heated up and the fume is inhaled. Once inhaled, the person would suddenly turn into a blood hungry vampire. In the movie, you’d notice that they still depicted the vampire as seductive and captivating and mysterious and the other characters are quite attractive especially Sai which is played by Sarah Farooqui.

The movie is striving and you would appreciate the effort and the new idea that they wanted to set forth but something is lacking that makes it not the best vampire movie that it wants to be. First of all, there is lack of budget and you would notice this with how the movie was created. You’ll find flaws with the editing and it’s under the category of a cheap flick.

This is a great movie for all the shopaholics in the world who can truly relate to Rebecca Bloomwood who denies that she has a problem with shopping even with bad credit. Rebecca Bloomwood just can’t stop shopping and it’s really because of her past when she was a little girl and she only get discounted items from her mom who is a thrifty shopper. She envied her friends and her fascination for expensive clothes and branded stuff grew until it consumed her and left her with a big credit to pay.

She is a journalist who just lost her job and she ended up in a financing magazine with the man who gave him $20 that she needed to buy the green scarf whose mannequin convinced her to buy it.

A film you’d surely love to watch over and over again. It’s a beautifully comical animation about monsters on Earth fighting against the aliens who wanted to destroy the Earth!

It’s a fun movie especially with the character of Dr. Cockroach when Susan aka Ginormica first saw him and tried to splat him! Just FYI, it’s Hugh Laurie aka House who is the voice of Dr. Cockroach!

The story begins when something from outer space hits the Earth and hit Susan Murphy on her wedding day. While taking her vow, she suddenly turned green and became a gigantic woman. She was immediately taken to a secret compound where monsters like her are kept. Here she met Dr. Cockroach, B.O.B. and The Missing Link.

When Gallaxhar threatened to destroy the world, the U.S. President and the head of the secret compound discussed about letting the monsters fight Gallaxhar and that’s where their adventure began.

The Tornado! Several important artifacts had been stolen and the only thing that they found was a letter with the word “the tornado” written in it. That’s the name for a thief that plots on stealing all these artifacts and who do you run for help? Inspector Clouseau???

Basically, the movie is not as great as what it should be. It is just not my cup of tea, maybe, but for some it’s worth a laugh or two. The movie is basically a slapstick movie that could be fun at times and quite boring the next. Would you like to watch it again? Afraid not. It’s a comedy crime caper movie with some good names as its stars especially with Steve Martin playing the Inspector Clouseau character.

Burr Steers -17 Again

Zac Efron stars in this movie and he actually did a really good job with the character. This is not a musical but a heart-warming story with a nice ending that’s worth watching especially if you’re in the mood for some romantic movies.

The story evolves around the life of Mike O’ Donnell whose life didn’t really turn out the way he would have wanted it to. When he was 17, he was a great basketball player and was very popular. It’s similar to the High School Musical character that Zac Efron also plays but this one is not a high school flick that you may think it would be. In the story, Mike O’ Donnell was sure to get a college scholarship if he played well on that last game where college scouts are checking him but it was also at this moment that he found out that the love of his life, Scarlett, is pregnant. During the game, the thought of Scarlett clouded his mind and he decided to leave everything behind to be with his kid and Scarlett.

Sex Drive is a fun comedy about a virgin teenager who would do just about anything just to get laid. It kind of reminds me of American Pie. Wait, it does remind me of American Pie!

He is worried of going to college and still being a virgin.
