Review: the way it was it's the bomb

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Just a little too Curavious
Review: This dim-witted movie about college students trying to kill one another to get a 4.0 GPA wants to be "Scream", but comes off as a lame imitation.

The plot drags and slowly moves in circles, repeating itself to, seemingly, no end. And the quadruple cross at the end reeks of desperation and lapses of logic.

What a waste. It had a pretty good idea, but it was poorly executed.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Psychotic Beverley Hills 90210
Review: This is a psychotic version of Beverley Hills 90210, and it isn't even good escapism. However, the Cast was really great (they look good too). They did really well with such a lame generic script. The plot was transparent and predictable if you THINK as you watch. The soundtrack was terrible. Even if the soundtrack was better, it would not have saved the movie. Keep the cast get a tighter, snappier script, better directing and editing. To fully enjoy, leave your brain at the door.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hitchcock meets Generation X!
Review: This is an exceptional thriller that's so much smarter and hipper than all your bland Scream/Summer films. The characters are hateful because they are EVIL- you Yanks are so used to your villains being these hip, funny and cute Tarantino types . This film really has a pulse on what's wrong with your country. A generation that has grown up obsessed with winning at all costs. Cheers to the cast and crew for a rare GREAT US MOVIE that doesn't talk down to the sudience!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Awesome Ending! I LOVED IT!
Review: This movie starts off a bit slow and doesn't move nearly 45 minutes into it, even though there are some interesting scenes inbetween. But once the plot kicks in, it is an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride. I didn't expect to like this movie, but i loved it. LOVED IT. The ending was a bit predictable, but it was soooooooooooo good, it still surprised me, it was soooooo twisted and great. Wonderful movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: ridiculous
Review: This movie was downright awful. It went through every conceivable plot twist. Every type of situation was played out and it just ended up being disappointed. I give it a star though because the opening shots of that campus are simply beautiful. What school was that? I want to go there.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Clever indie movie
Review: This straight-to-video release is actually a lot better than a lot of postmodern thrillers that have been scurried to the shelves in the wake of the hugely successful 'Scream' movies. It's plot has two college guys plotting to kill off their roomate because it will ensure them a 4.0 grade average, getting them both into Harvard. After all, their friend Rand is an easy target, what with his girlfriend Natalie getting pregnant and the depressing range of books and CDs that his mates leave by his bed. And so it's done, the only problem being that a body can't be found and the police start sniffing around.

Lillard is exceptional as the canniving lead, especially when the extent of his scheme becomes apparent to the guy he plots with. Twist after twist follows this but unlike something like 'Wild Things', the movie manages to pull them off well. In particular the last scene is very gripping indeed, and it's not without a good dollop of black humour. If this is never quite as scary as 'Jeepers Creepers' or as consistently witty as 'Scream', it is still a real original in the horror field and is genuinely intelligent.

Summary: Terrific, suspense, dark film
Review: This was a really good movie. It was well acted and well paced. Michael Vartan was terrific. This is the second movie I've seen him in - he was terrific in Never Been Kissed. Worth your while to see.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It will push you over the edge!
Review: View this movie without others judgement. The movie must of been writen by a new comer to the film indusrty. Some of the characters you would just like to smack because they are so stupid. However, if you are a Matthew Lillard or Keri Russell fan, you would like this movie. I think the 2 stars mentioned above make the movie worth while.
