Summary: The Faculty
Review: Its awesome! Robert Rodriguez did an amazing job doing this teen horror/sci-fi flick. The movie is about,a group of teens that discover that their teachers are aliens that want to take over the earth. It doesnt have the most original plot, but it has the coolest way to kill the aliens(with pens filled with drugs)i have ever seen in a horror flick. It has a young cast:Josh Hartnett,Shawn Hatosy,Jordana Brewster,Clea Duvall,Laura Harris and Elijah Wood.Along with a no-so young cast Robert Patrick,Salma Hayek Piper Laurie,etc. The Faculty is a great horror/sci-fi thriller.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Pass me the water
Review: Not as much 'gloop' as Dusk until Dawn but with the same tongue in cheek style as Scream 2 this film is as enjoyable as it is predicatble. Yes we know that the kids will win in the end (Scooby-do style), yes we know who the monster is but the story still grips as much as it borrows its ideas from other movies. We have the walking head from The Thing (albeit this one is prettier), the band up loser/mixed-up kids from ... er ... all movies with loser/mixed-up kids in them and the is she/isn't she from ... you know the movie! This film has style, it does not take itself seriously, has some bits that will make you jump and other moments that will make you laugh. So if you find something odd on your local football field, leave it alone! (Oh and watch out for people standing out in the rain!)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE FACULTY

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Shameful Cash-In
Review: Robert Rodriguez proved with "El Mariachi" and some of his other films that he is indeed a talented director, but what made him think that "The Faculty", this Body Snatchers rip-off for Generation Me, was going to work? The special effects are cheesy, the story is cliche-ridden, and the only real redeeming element is that the teenagers in this movie (who are mostly played by 20 year old actors, I might add) actually seem like realistic teenagers. Poor Rodriguez, I hope he fares better with his next movie.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not quite BODY SNACHERS
Review: A tepid moderatley fulfilling, guilty pleasure is all this very if-y Sci-fi/Horror film can be classified as. GUILTY PLEASURE! That may be good enough fo some but not for me. Now i admit the first time i saw this movie i liked it, but then i watched it again and i couldnt believe that such a high profile cast could do such an idiodic film. With fine special effects and fine acting, the fineness ends there and ridiculesness begins. A teen interpretation of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS is an insult to such a classic horror film. Kevin Williamson tried to go a different direction with his writing, and he did-going down, anyone?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Typical-but good at it
Review: I found that while this movie did have a typical plot for a horror movie, they did a great job at keeping everything a secret. If you're looking for a good horror flick (with way too much cussing), this is for you. You do learn the plan the kids make early on, and of course it's the only way that the movie could end. However, I was surprised to discover who the queen that the kids had to defeat was. I must say that I enjoyed it though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's great-What else can I say?
Review: Okay,I know some of the other reviews gave this movie 1 or 3 stars-What are they thinking? This movie IS AWESOME.I'm 15 and it was great 4 many reasons.One reason is you don't know the answers to all the questions in your head until the end.I think that it's a great movie.Josh Hartnett does a great job .I think that YOU should check it out!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Love it....for good reasons or not
Review: Okay, so even though the plot was TOTALLY unoriginal, and the directing was....eh. There are three reasons why i have this video on tape. Josh Hartnett, Elijah Wood, and Shawn Hatosy. If it wasn't for half of the cast's looks, the whole movie would be one big bomb. I must say, that the "F" word was used OVER and OVER and OVER again, until any time it was even USED in a sentance the whole SENTANCE was meaningless. It was pretty good. It attacked some things that teens today have to deal with. You could punch holes through the script as if it was swiss cheese. But if you're in the mood for some movie that you'll watch because you're really really bored and you just wanna be entertained, then Faculty is perfect.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A new kind of teen chiller
Review: Teachers at a small high school get infected by aquatic alien parasites and start infecting the whole neighbourhood. This sci-fi thriller is actually allot better than you would first think. It's loaded with good scares and special effects. The idea is nothing new, but it is certainly an improvement for Kevin Williamson. Probably his best script since Scream.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Wrong age group.
Review: I might have liked this better had I been twenty-five years younger, but it didn't do anything for me at this point in my life except steal two hours. It wasn't scary, the characters weren't interesting, and it wasn't original. Alien and Invaders of the Body Snatchers (any version) beat this bore all to hell.
