The Girl Next Door (2007)

I am a bit torn when it comes to this review. Overall; this movie was touching (made you feel like jumping into the screen and killing someone) and overall great; however I am torn in the amount of detail shown and some of the content displayed to viewers... Let's just say the film borders on kiddy-porn in my opinion.

The movie did a great job getting it's point accorss; and though the acting could have been a bit "better"; it certainly was pulled off with flying colors.

I have to say that very few movies ever really stand out and make feel "enraged" after watching them; but this one did just that... I kept wanting to go and get the magic movie ticket from "The Last Action Hero" so I could jump into this movie and beat some people's asses... it was that dramatic.

Though it will contain some very graphic content, and some disturbing images, it's certainly a film you should watch (just not with the kids).

Gridiron Gang - My Review

Gridiron Gang

So I rented this movie today and I kind of went in expecting to see a feel good movie about a bunch of reject gangbangers overcoming the odds and ending it in a good happy note... guess what I found? I was right!

Truth is... I dont think that the movie is Oscar worthy... but what is this days? Borat? (Give me a break). I think Dwayne (The Rock) pulled it off... He acted great in the film and he actually made you believe he could have been the guy he was portraing. The rest of the cast was also good; XZibit was also great in the movie. He brought a sense of "humaness" to the film.

Overall; this is a movie that should be enjoyed with kids (8+) with popcorn to show them that sterotypes are not what they seem. The movie gets a "3.5" star rating overall...
