Rating: Summary: Copy Cat Killer Review: I saw the movie Jeepers Creepers about a week ago. I liked it. I especially liked the truck chases. Anyway, I saw the preview for this movie and at first it looked cool, but then I realized that it looks like a poor take-off of Jeepers Creepers..I mean, the car chase?Where did they get that from? Hmmm... Maybe JEEPERS CREEPERS! Can't the writers of Joy Ride think of their own ideas? And, what about that lame thing the killer says "You really should get that fixed!" "What fixed?""Your back headlight!" hahha how lame is that..It may have worked in Scream but I don't think it will work in this movie. My predictions for this movie is that the killer ends up to be some old guy that kills 10 people every 23 years, has a hook thingy he holds in his hand to slash people with, and wears a mask of some "ghostly image".. Oh yeah, and he probably wears a raincoat or hat when its not even raining! All I can say is, I'm waiting for this to come on T.V.
Rating: Summary: Save yourself money Review: If you like horrific acting... Plot you've seen 7 times before... And horrible writing that will make you want your $7 dollars back, then this is the film for you. Easily top contender for "Worst Film of the Year". Right under Jeepers Creepers. But I do have to say, the reason why I gave it one star... I didn't pay to see this. I'm very glad, because if I did, I wouldn't be smiling right now. This movie does have a good quality though... There is a part at the end where it goes black, and the credits start rolling... Breathless
Rating: Summary: When will good movies be made again? Review: I saw a screening of this early on, and I have to say..."Why"? Not only is the writing horrible, but the acting... Did they even reherse for this movie? I personally think that John Dahl (director) had a late phone bill or something, because I highly doubt that the director of such movies like "Red Rock West", and "The Last Seduction" was actually excited about this hideous work of filmmaking. My advise, if you like bad acting and no resolution, be my guest and watch... But for those of you who like plot, acting, and resolution, waste 8 dollars at the zoo...
Rating: Summary: More Like A Horror Flick, Than A Thriller Review: I saw a early screening of Joy Ride and I have to say that this movie is made in the vein of the 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' flicks. After all, they are pursued by a psychotic truck driver who they had a played a prank on. Honestly, I didn't think this is the best horror flick I have ever seen. But it warrants to be a must see if you are looking for a decent horror flick. As for the script, at points you can infer that something is going to happen, and it does. It is not to say the whole movie is predictable, because there are some scary moments in this movie. As for the acting, at first, Steve Zahn seemed kind of irritating, and definitely like the irresponsible character that he was to play. But it seemed like characters he plays in his other movies seem similar. Paul Walker's performance of playing the straight coursed brother of Zahn's character seems to be well done, but his character seemed to be somewhat of a pushover in that he kept doing the dumb things that his brother wanted him to do. You would think that he would have the power to keep his brother in check, and avoid the horror that the pranks caused. As for Leelee Sobieski's character, she seemed all too subdued and calm that there was some type of stalker was on the three of their backs. As for the scenes, there is a weird unnecessary nudity scene when the prank goes sour, which seemed quite corny and dumb to put in. Overall, despite my badgerings of the film, the flick still has enough thrills and chills to warrant seeing. But be warned: expect to see some of the same setups of other horror flicks.

Rating: Summary: based on a trailer... Review: based on a trailer i saw on E!, this movie seems to be exactly what the title says it is...the main character buys a car which contains a cb radio in it. after playing a practical joke on a big rig driver, the main characters are continuously running from the driver who is trying to kill them...sounds like it should be quite a thriller....
Rating: Summary: Just ok Review: Since Paul Walker was in it(and I hate his annoying voice and wooden acting) I was expecting this to be a total disaster. To my surprise it wasn't as terrible as I anticipated. Although if you ask me whether it was a good movie, the answer would be no. Paul(and his baby blue eyes) goes on the road trip along with his dimwitted jailbird of a brother and hot(in producer's opinion) chick that he wants desperately. On the way, they decide to play a joke on some trucker who gets pissed off and starts stalking them. Somehow this trucker(whose face we never see) knows everything about them and he appears at the most unexpected moments. Instead of going to the cops, like any normal people, the characters spend the movie trying to run away and outwit this fathom. I thought it was supposed to be suspense thriller but this is definitely "Friday 13th" kind of movie(and I'm not found of those). Paul Walker didn't stink as badly as he did in the "Fast and the Furious", but this LeeLee Sobievski who was playing the "hot" chick is one bad actress(and skanky looking one at that. I suspect the producers had the beer goggles on when she was selected for this role). However, if you compare this film with some of the other crap I've been watching lately, this can almost be called a masterpiece
Rating: Summary: ONE TO REMEMBER Review: I DO NOT REMEMBER THIS MOVIE DOING VERY WELL AT THE BOX OFFFICE, BUT IT WAS A VERY GOOD MOVIE-NOT A BORING MOMENT IN THE BUNCH. LEELEE SORBESKI IS A FUTURE "BEST ACTRESS" OSCAR WINNER. THIS IS THE SECOND OR THIRD MOVIE I HAVE SEEN HER IN. SHE HAS "IT"- BEAUTY, TALENT AND"IT"- THAT UNFORSEEN QUALITY THAT FEW POSSES. ONE PERSON WHO POSSESES "IT" IS HER COSTAR-PAUL WALKER. THIS IS THE SECOND MOVIE I HAVE SEEN HIM IN-THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS-BEING THE OTHER. I HAVE OFTEN SEEN MOVIES WHERE THE ACTOR OR ACTRESS WAS EMPLOYED TOTALLY BECAUSE OF HIS OR HER LOOKS. I HAVE SEEN BEAUTIFUL FACES ON SCREEN,MALE AND FEMALE, WITH NO REAL ACTING TALENT(MARILYN MONROE COMES TO MIND). MOST OF THE GREATS OF THE GREATS WERE NOT THE MOST ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE. MANY WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF TALENT, GO NOWHERE BECAUSE OF THEIR LOOKS. MANY WITH LOOKS ARE IN MOVIES AS EYE CANDY. PAUL WALKER IS THAT RARE FIND OF TALENT AND LOOKS. HE IS DESTINED TO BE ONE OF THE GREATS -IN THE SAME CATAGORY AS TOM CRUISE, JULIA ROBERTS, DENZEL WASHINGTON, ANGELA BASSETT, HALLE BERRY, MARLON BRANDO, ETC ETC. THEY ALL HAVE/HAD "IT", IN ADDITION TO THEIR LOOKS AND TALENT. PAUL ZAUN IS DESTINED TO BE "THE FUNNY ONE" IN MOVIES, DELIBEREATE OR NOT. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE TO ANYONE. IT IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY AND TIME. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE SEQUEL. THE VIOLENCE WAS NOT OVERDONE. THE ACTING WAS TOP NOTCH. THE RHYTHM OF THE MOVIE MOVED ALONG AT A BELIEVABLE PACE. I WILL DEFINATELY BE WATCHING THIS ONE AGAIN. THE DELETED SCENES WERE VERY INTERESTING. GET THE DVD.
Rating: Summary: Joy Ride Review: It started as a joke. Now the joke is on them.
This movie is one of the best thrillers I have ever seen. Any one who likes thrillers must get this one. There collection is incomplete without this movie. And the Dvd is wonderful. It has deleted and alternate scenes. It has a trailer. It has a featurette.
There is over 55 minutes of spsecial features in this 1-disc dvd!
Rating: Summary: Oh Joy Review: Joy Ride has sense of ability to just waste my time, basically. It didn't really show the realism. Like the nude scene. If you walked into a local diner without your clothes on, you will automatically be kicked out. It isn't very scary, either. The truck driver is not even scary nor realistic. This movie is good, but not good enough to ever watch again.
