1)Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxey
3 Out of 5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
When this movie was first released on DVD I went to local video store to rent it and they were all out so I ended up buying this for 20 bucks. I've read the entire series and own all the books and enjoyed the books. The movie however was Mediocre. As a big Douglas Adams fan The movie presentation was a bit dissapointing but the characters, as were in the book, were still very likeable. Fans of the book series, it's worth checking out and for those who've never heard of the series, I'd reccomed the series just because it's humorous and orginal. And some would even say through provoking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2)SawII (Soon to DVD)
5 out of 5
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've heard many people bash on the first saw film because it was generally about two people stuck in a room. Well even tho there was much more to it then just that. The sequal expands the horizan and has a GROUP of people stuck in a HOUSE. Also in this installment you acctually get to met the man behind the Jigsaw murders and hear his little philosphy on life. The ending is twisted, just like the first movie and leads onto believe there may be a 3rd Saw movie? Dunno if that'll live it to it's hype. As movies progress they often time loose their quality. A high rating because it'sa damn good movie, plus you getta see a crack head crawl around in a pit of needles, that alone is worth a rental ;). I'd highly recommend.

3)40 Year old Virgin
Barely a 2 Out of 5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was looking foward to seeing this movie in theaters, and did. To say the least I was mostly dissapointed. MOSTLY. This film stars that annoying retard from 'The Daily Show' (Which is quite lame as well) and has some bottom line humor. This has recently come out on DVD and when I was at Hastings the other day they were all out of copies, I couldn't help but exlaim 'WTF? these people must not have seen this in theater's, otherwise they most diffeantly wouldn't be renting it at all'. And to save you the trouble of possibly renting it, I come in. To tell you NOT to :). Save your money for something better..like Pop Rocks ( A Much wothier investment). I would Not recommend this.

4)Exorcism of Emily Rose
3 Out of 5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I went to go see this movie under the impression that it'd be 'good', and it was kind of...Not really...ok it was decent. But I heard others saying it was the best movie they ever seen! WTF? Hells no. The OG classic Poulterguist is much better. But this movie wasn't even much about the acctual Exorcism of Emily rather then the Trial of Emily Rose, which is what it should have been titled. One good aspect is though that they bring up the conflict of the segragation of church and state. Having a priest on trial preaching and what not, in a court of law was intresting to see. and the Jury's reaction and so. Also it's loosly 'based on a true story' but personally I believe the bitch was crazy. Because in the Trust story, that wasn't in the movie. Crazy bitch emily believed she was also possesed by Infamous Nazi leader Hitler among others. Which makes the sotry all so more unbelieveable. Decent flick. I'd recommend...if your desperate.
