![]() | Hostel (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Buy used from: $0.01 In the realm of torture porn there is King Eli, and then there is everybody else. Roth manages to make effective horror films by avoiding the quick cuts and redunculous plot-holes that seem to plague the "Saw" series. Good job sir.
7/10

![]() | Grandma's Boy (+ Digital Copy)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $6.99 Awful. This movie is unfunny and totally unlovable. Covert is horrible in the lead and only Jonah Hill manages to elicit any laughter. I give it a tenth of point each for Hill and the "F--kin' sweet race car" bed.
0.2/10

![]() | Final Destination 3 (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $7.49 / Used from: $0.92 This series defies all logic. They don't make a ton of money nor do they really change the formula at all. They make just enough money to beat their budget, and that ensures that we will see a 4th. Still, no film series has made death more enjoyable.
5/10

![]() | Running Scared
Buy new: $5.99 / Used from: $1.47 Yuk. This film fits the definition of deplorable. Walker continues to underwhelm me. The director is trying too hard to combine elements from Scorsese, Tarantino, & other much better directors. He needs to just be himself.
1/10

![]() | The Hills Have Eyes (Unrated Edition)
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $0.25 An unpleasant surprise. I had never seen the original so I didn't expect much. This one is very well made and the performances are worth praising. Unfortunately, the sequel spoiled all that good will.
6.8/10

![]() | Thank You for Smoking (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.45 Expectations have played a huge part in my movie-going experiences since I discovered rottentomatoes.com. This one let me down a little bit. I did love seeing Sam Elliot again.
5.5/10
|
![]() | Inside Man (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $0.69 Great heist movie that really throws out all the conventions. The crooks are never in danger of being caught, and the real struggle in the film is amongst the guys on the outside.
7.5/10
|
![]() | Ice Age - The Meltdown (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $5.98 Even better than the original. Visually strong and highly amusing. I could have done without Queen Latifah, she just irks me.
7/10
|
![]() | The Benchwarmers
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $0.49 Sort of a guilty pleasure for me. It's not hilarious and I still can't stand John Heder, but Spade and Lovitz have enough moments to make it tolerable.
5.8/10
|
![]() | Scary Movie 4 (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $0.01 While it is obviously not as good as #'s 3 or 1, it blows #2 out of the water. I loved the "Million Dollar Baby" parody.
5/10
|
![]() | Mission Impossible III (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $0.01 Probably the only film series that could be broken up and no one would care. None of the films had anything to do with the others except for Tom and Ving. First movie was a slow espionage film, the second was a Kung Fu movie, and this one was a balls to the wall actioner.
7/10
|
![]() | Poseidon (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $0.01 Worthless remake that should have never come about. Russell does all he can, but everyone else is either hamming it up or sleepwalking. The kid was killing me.
2/10

![]() | Over the Hedge (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.68 I usually don't step outside the Pixar/Shrek box to see an animated movie. I'm glad I did because this one was a hoot.
7/10
|
![]() | The Da Vinci Code (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.49 Better than it possibly could have been, but that does not mean I liked it.
4/10
|
![]() | X-Men: The Last Stand (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.75 One of the most deflating theater experiences of all-time. They freaking killed off Cyclops and Xavier before the midway mark. No Gambit, no Nightcrawler, and Angel was only in the freaking movie for a few minutes. Brett Ratner must be stopped.
4/10
|
![]() | Cars (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $10.95 Yes, it is the worst of all the Pixar movies. Yet, that doesn't mean it isn't great. I think it just suffers from the fact that it's extremely difficult to care about talking cars. Still, it is funny and the animation is mind-blowing.
8/10

![]() | Nacho Libre (Special Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.50 Bor-riiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiing!!!!
2/10
|
![]() | Superman Returns (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 Same as the last, but at least "Nacho Libre" had Jack Black. This film does nothing to justify its existence. Routh is lame and Spacey isn't enoug of a threatening figure.
4/10
|
![]() | Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $18.49 / Used from: $1.75 Great effects, awesome action, some quirky humor, and another home run performance from Johnny Depp. One of the best sequels ever made.
8.5/10
|
![]() | Clerks II (Two-Disc Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.78 Decent follow-up. Anderson and Mewes don't miss a beat, and Dawson does her best to keep up. The deal-breaker is O'Halloran, he has become a "hideous f--king chud". I would never believe either of the women falling for him. He also can't act.
6/10
|
![]() | Monster House (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $1.48 Yet again I found myself seeing a non-Pixar/Shrek animated film in 2006 that I wound up liking. Very dark in a "Nightmare Before Christmas" kind of way.
7.3/10
|
![]() | Little Miss Sunshine
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.49 Steve Carrell should have been nominated for a Oscar. Paul Dano is also great in this one. Great, great movie.
9/10
|
![]() | The Descent (Original Unrated Cut) [Widescreen Edition]
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.15 One of the best horror films of all-time. That ain't no joke. The performances are so real and terrifying. The atmosphere that Marshall managed to create was amazing. It's ironic that this movie was shot in a fake cave and yet is far more affective than the movie "The Cave" which was shot in a actual cave.
9/10
|
![]() | Talladega Nights - The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.70 I loved "Elf", "Anchorman", and "Old School", but this was the first Ferrell movie to really turn me off. Ferrell's schtick has gotten tired and Cohen was completely wasted.
3/10

![]() | Snakes on a Plane (Widescreen New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $5.99 / Used from: $0.16 When you try to make a bad movie, you'll probably make a bad movie.
1/10
|
![]() | Jackass Number Two (Unrated)
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $0.01 A glorious celebration of the continued immaturity of America's favorite band of white trash. Probably the funniest movie I have seen in a long time.
8/10
|
![]() | The Departed (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $7.49 / Used from: $2.75 Falls in the second tier of Scorsese films (along with "After Hours", "Casino", & "Gangs of New York"). Decaprio is amazing, Damon is game, and Walberg's performance continues to grow on me. However, Jack's role just does not ring true enough. He is trying to hard to perform.
8/10
|
![]() | The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning - Unrated (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $0.49 As bad as it is, I have to say it entertained me. I saw it on Halloween with a group of friends. The Halloween fever had hit me, and this film scratched my itch.
5.5/10
|
![]() | Flags of Our Fathers (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.38 Not on the "Saving Private Ryan" level, but what possibly could be. Still, the battle scenes are incredible and Ryan Phillipe continues to prove my initial opinion of him wrong.
7.4/10
|
![]() | The Prestige
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $2.49 Christopher Nolan has not made a bad movie yet. Bale and Jackman both deserved award consideration. You never see the twist coming, and yet you also don't feel cheated by it.
8/10
|
![]() | Babel
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.49 Powerful and moving. Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Rinko Kikuchi, Adriana Barraza, and Gael Garcia Bernal give amazing performances.
8.7/10
|
![]() | Saw III (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.90 The film creates a sense of naseua from the get go. Not because it so violent, more so because the filmaker assumes the audience has an extremely short attention span. The camera darts around and shakes like crazy. Still, I think the film would have sucked no matter how well it was directed.
0/10

![]() | Borat - Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.35 While not nearly as brilliant as it has been built up to be, it is still hilarious.
6.7/10
|
![]() | Stranger Than Fiction
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $1.04 Definately a sleeper picture. It slipped in under the radar and made little fuss. Eventually I hope it gets the recognition that it deserves. It is one of the best romances I have ever seen.
9/10
|
![]() | Casino Royale (2-Disc Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $5.49 / Used from: $2.73 Throws away all the old Bond conventions and ranks among the best of the Bond films.
8.5/10
|
![]() | Mel Gibson's Apocalypto (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $2.31 Not really what I expected, but once again Mel Gibson proved to be a very diverse filmaker.
6.5/10
|
![]() | Rocky Balboa
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $0.70 Boring beyond belief. Rocky is prompted out of retirement by a boxing video game simulation. WTF? Frankly I just didn't give a dam about Rocky's latest comeback. I was glad he lost.
2/10
|
![]() | Night at the Museum (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $7.24 How did this movie make so much freaking money? Because people will see anything around Christmas as long as it has plenty of special effects (I Am Legend), no matter how awful it is.
1/10
|
![]() | Children of Men (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $1.66 This one will stand the test of time. It will probably be consistent "Top 500 All-Time" selection.
10/10
|
![]() | Pan's Labyrinth
Buy new: $7.49 / Used from: $2.22 Again, not exactly what I expected but I knew Guillermo would not disapoint. This and "Children of Men" are modern classics.
