Aliens (1986)

Rating: 98
Percentile: 94.6429
Review: one of the best sequels made. in respect to alien, it focuses more on action than suspense but i think that's why it's able to stand alone so well. the pacing of the movie is relentless for both the characters and the audience and it still provides scares that rival those of the first. aliens also cements ellen ripley's status as one of the finest female heroines cinema has to offer. just take a look at the epic catfight between her and the alien queen. you should just watch this movie.

The People Under the Stairs (1991)

Rating: 80
Percentile: 16.6667
Review: a crazy, crazy horror movie. the title is a little misleading though; the film has very little to do with the people under the stairs. i think this is beneficial because what we do get to see is an insane set of villains that are obsessed with locks, money, dogs, and finding the perfect child. the cat and mouse game between them and whoever enters their house is pretty entertaining. the movie loses points for some relatively bad acting and overall strangeness.

Review: one of the most enjoyable animated movies i've seen. it's extremely well written with lots of hilarious moments and surprisingly complex characters. the voice talent is also very impressive. bill hader and anna faris are awesome as the two leads and james caan makes you fall in love with flint's metaphor spouting father. the end of the film is filled with enough peril to keep both kids and adults entertained, and i loved how everything came full circle (even the shoes). don't miss this one.

Review: nothing extraordinary, but this turned out to be a pretty touching story of redemption. being a prison movie, i figured that redemption would be mentioned eventually, but i loved how it came in such an unassuming manner. gardening is the last thing you'd expect a convict to do and it was cool to watch it change their entire demeanor. clive owen did a great job as usual and the entire cast proved to be very fun to watch.

Review: one of my favorite zombie movies. the first twenty minutes or so are among my favorite from any zombie movie. snyder's vision of the zombie apocalypse seems very real and terrifying. unfortunately, the rest of the film seems a little repetatitive until the gore filled last act. but it still has enough scares and zombie headsplosions to satisfy the masses and myself. very recommended.

Review: A pretty bizarre movie about a dreamer (played exceptionally by pryce) living in a dysfunctional society run by paperwork and rules. all he really wants is to find his "dream girl," but he's constantly foiled by the government. gilliam's take on the future is fascinating to watch. i really liked the structure of the movie, starting out casually but getting very dark by the end. if nothing else, robert de niro's performance warrants at least one viewing of this movie.

Review: really made me want to be a criminal. this movie made it look like so much fun. it's an excellent debut for brian singer with a great twist at the end. even if you know how it's going to unfold, it's very fun to watch. kevin spacey is awesome, as always and i really enjoyed the mythology between keyser soze.

Review: a pretty standard vegas movie that's elevated by excellent performances from william h. macy and alec baldwin. i loved how each character was so flawed but you couldn't help but enjoy their company anyways. the only downside i found was that i really didn't like maria bello's character.

Review: A bland and kinda pointless movie, in my opinion. i loved the characters, but i hated how all the relationships just appeared. we didn't get to really see them form or grow. it was also really random at parts with the mute galifianakis and the random bits with brian's family. zooey is the best part about this movie, and she performs very well, as usual.

Review: a consistently funny look at jason bateman's frustrating life as a plant manager. full of work humor, in judge's well established vein, but it really shines when it leaves the workplace. the exchanges between bateman's character and his well meaning friends are hilarious. ben affleck plays the drug altered, know-it-all, advice giving friend extremely well. the only downside is that the female characters were only present to move the story forward. wiig and kunis should have been used more.

Review: a very endearing love story that works mainly due to the great cast and their performances. by themselves, joon and sam might be a little grading, but when they're together, the chemistry they have is undeniable and incredible. aidan quinn plays the protective brother role really well and it's easy to tell how much love he has for joon. all in all, it's a nice, quirky love story that i found very enjoyable.

Review: For a movie about a 40 year old that's trying to get laid for the first time, this movie has a lot more depth than you'd expect. i think this is mostly due to the excellent writing from apatow and carell, and the great cast. it goes far beyond the sex jokes and stereotypes and unfolds as a heartfelt and touching movie.

Review: an teenage sports fans wet dream. and that's about it. it fails as a spy movie and barely passes as a watchable action movie. the action is only enjoyable if you're willing to ignore the ridiculous extreme sports references and the terrible dialogue. the story is nothing to be impressed by either.

Review: very enjoyable, despite the fact that the actual plot is a little nonexistent. the film wanders from group to group showing the audience glimpses of the woodstock festival. it gets away with this lack of structure because every character is incredibly interesting and genuine. ang lee's direction was awesome, as usual. i loved how some of the film was shown in a documentary type way. it showed how demetri martin's elliott was just an onlooker to the woodstock tidal wave he helped unleash.

Review: not the horror movie i was expecting, but much better. it's really a charming movie about class warfare between the "freaks" and the "normals." i love that it shows how the freaks may look different on the outside, but on the inside they're some of the sweetest individuals. similarly, the normals are often rotten on the inside while normal on the outside.

Review: for someone who was largely unfamiliar with mike tyson's rise to fame in the boxing world, this was a very well crafted and enlightening movie. all i really knew was that he bit some boxer's ear and enjoyed phil collins music. it was awesome to see how talented he was when he was in his prime and to hear it all from the man himself.

Review: as a newcoming to the halloween franchise, i wasn't too impressed by scattered and overly long movie. It was interesting to see how mike myers became the terrifying, silent killer, but he went from being a pitied and troubled child to the incredible hulk - all without much explanation. on the plus side, a lot of the acting was excellent with the exception of malcolm mcdowell's character. i despised him. the writing wasn't exceptional, but zombie made up for it with some great directing.

Review: Spanning many movie genres, planets, and timeframes, heavy metal was one of the manliest movies i've ever seen. even though the last portion has a female heroine. it's full of boobs, gore, crazy animation and stoner aliens. the thought of an orb containing the sum of all evil is a pretty scary thought, too. watching how it wreaks havoc around the galaxy is cool.

Review: caused by either my ignorance of how things work in the north, or some great writing from the coen brothers, this movie greatly surpassed my expectations. it's strangely funny (often caused by the outlandish actions of the characters) and satisfyingly violent. which was nice, considering i wasn't expecting either. frances mcdormand and william h. macy both deserve the praise they've received for their roles.

Review: Tarantino's masterpiece, in my opinion. I loved absolutely everything about this movie, especially the characters. no single character gets the majority of screen time but everyone makes the best of what they have. the only downside of this movie is that i wasn't able to spend more time with everyone. a lot of the film consists of people just...talking. but damn, does tarantino know how to write. he keeps it interesting the entire time. major props to christoph waltz as well.
