Summary: Strangely compelling trash
Review: "The Skulls" is your basic unbelievable thriller that unfortunately takes itself completely seriously!The only likeable character in the film is murdered early on, but still there is lots to enjoy and mock as we learn more about this secret society. But who can really dislike a film that features a crewing contest, the one-note keanu-ish performance of Joshua Jackson, a crewing contest, and zero plausiblity. Cheesy to the core.
Rating: 
Summary: Pure CHEESE.
Review: This movie is so stupid I'm not sure where to begin. Right from the start, you are subjected to poor acting, EXTREMELY pathetic dialogue, and an overall lame story. I almost enjoyed watching this for its laughable cheesiness. I give it one star because I was amused by the dialogue that was either inconceivably stupid or stereotypical, as well as the obvious homoerotic undertones between the 2 main characters. Several scenes were there for no other reason than to suggest there was more going on between these guys than was shown, if ya know what I mean.

Summary: Unrealized potential, but not a complete loss
Review: The Skulls (Rob Cohen, 2000) Cohen, the man behind Dragonheart, directs this tale of the evils of Ivy League secret societies, complete with slimy overlord (Craig T. Nelson) and angry young idealist (the underrated Hill Harper, who most recenly showed up in the ill-fated TV series City of Angels) bent on exposing the inner workings of all things secret; "if it's secret and elite, it can't be good." When you spell out your theme that plainly that early in the movie, what do you have left? Still, this flick had a whole lot of wasted potential. The main story focuses on the relationship between local-boy-made-good Luke MacNamara (teen heartthrob Joshua Jackson from Dawson's Creek) and the Evil Slimy Overlord's son, Caleb Mandrake (teen heartthrob Paul Walker, recently of Varsity Blues), with minor attention paid to how Luke's induction into the secret society affects his friendships with Harper's character and his "the audience knows they're in love but he doesn't" girlfriend Chloe (teen heartthrob Leslie Bibb, from the TV series Popular). There's enough suspense to kill an hour and a half without wanting to throw the VCR out the window, but one gets the feeling that with a slightly more capable director (I mean, come on, the guy put Sean Connery in a rubber dragon suit) and less of a focus on casting teen heartthrobs, this could have been a real killer. Wait for it to hit the specials bin, but don't go out of your way to avoid it just because the whole cast is on the WB. **

Review: I Expected Garbage, what I received was a very good movie. Sure, It takes itself a little serious, and the plot twists can be a little on the unbelievable side, but i leave the complaining to the Critics. The Actors, young and old, are Above Average. Rob Cohen's Direction is Heavy-Handed and a little on the Overly- Serious side, but still better than alot in this Genre. In fact, that what probably lifts this film and makes it better than the material, they hired a seasoned film director (who knows how to hold a shot for more than 10 seconds) instead of a 20 year old Music Video director (all flash and no substance, good for some films but not for this genre). Being that I expected Garbage has alot to do with my enjoyment level, if I had went in expecting something great, I probably wouldn't be so leanient.

Summary: AMAZING
Review: Wow I can not say enough good things about this movie! Besides the killer plot, the preformances by Josh Jackson and Leslie Bibb were unbelievable! This movie really shows the power of human determination! Josh's character, against all odds manages to brave the evil forces of the temptation of power and money to do the right thing! This film manages to show the dark and powerful force that is secret societies! Before I saw this film I didnt know that secret societies existed, and now even still the idea frightens me! I think that the fictional documentation of the secret societies was thoroughly needed and very well depicted.

Summary: A secret society that isn't secret.
Review: This movie could have expanded so well in some many different areas. Covering in far more detail how the society operated, the benifits and a whole lot else. But it chose to be very ambiguous. There is no hero of the film as the main character is manipulated from the very begining of the film to the very last line. For a secret society alot of people knew of its excistence. After watching it I felt that there was more to be told, more to have experienced from the film. It just didn't go the extra mile. However all that being the case, it is an enjoyable film to watch. Not one that I would want to own, but I am happy to have seen it. Rent it rather than buy.

Summary: Fraternity vs. Secret society
Review: I recommend this movie to anyone considering joining a frat and/or is between the ages of 18-27. Rob Cohen does an excellent job in attempting to portray what goes on inside the walls of the "Skulls" secret society. The Skulls - a highly powerful secret society - provide third year college students with expensive cars, girls, and powerful ties...an enormous key to future political power. The lucky members chosen each year at midnight (approx. 15 ?) must go through intense hazing and rituals dating back to the early 1800's. Each prospective member unites with another to become soul mates. Each pair of soul mates tell each other their darkest secrets to become closer and to ensure loyalty in the most defying situation. In the movie, Luke (Joshua Jackson) demonstrates how joining the Skulls has placed tension on his friendship with Chloe (Leslie Bibb) and his roommate (Hill Harper). Sworn to keep the happenings of the Skulls a secret, the line between friendship and loyalty to the Skulls becomes very thin. Luke son learns that the Skulls are not only watching his every move, but they monitor his close friend Chloe as well... -A must see for college students!
