Varsity Blues

1) Wgbw. The other night I woke up on the couch to the hit movie Friday Night Lights, and it reminded me that I haven't reviewed all of the movies I own about rural texas high school football. I mean how tight is the opening description of this movie, "In small-town Texas, high school football is a religion." #damnstraight.

2) It is kinda goofy how in most teen comedies all the actors/resses are in their mid 20s. If I was better looking I could probably go get a gig playing in some high school football thriller.

3) Amy Smart's character always weirded me out after she played such different characters in Road Trip and the Butterfly Effect. I guess maybe that just means she's a solid actress lol.

4) All in all a pretty solid movie. I mean, it's a little unbelievable and all, but it's hard to go wrong with this West Texas football thing.

House at the End of the Street

1) I know I've been giving out some pretty generous grades lately, but dear god this was this good. After undergoing the routine 24 hour waiting period before letting the world know my thoughts, I'm still convinced this is one of the best horror movies in the last few years (obvi with Mama and Cabin in the Woods).

2) Crazy endings like the one in The Uninvited are really hit or miss. When I was first tuning into this I was just hoping that she didn't turn out to be the killer, or have her just be imagining someone next door all the time. When (*spoiler alert*) I finally put two and two together that the kid had just been kidnapping people to replace his sister my jaw almost dropped. It was that good of a story twist. Top notch stuff.

3) It almost took it too far. The very end where there's the flashback to his parents pretending that he is actually his sister was unnecessary. I also haven't figured out what the symbolism of the tree was all about.

4) Jennifer Lawrence has been pretty OTC so far. I actually wanna tune into that Silver Lining movie but still haven't gotten a chance to do so.

How this got an 11% on rotten tomatoes is beyond me,

This is 40

1) I kinda knew this movie would be sort of like Friends With Kids.  It's kinda slow and there's a bunch of parts of it where everyone is just sad and depressed about their life.

2) All in all it was still kinda tight at the beginning with all of the inappropriate humor and stuff. And them repping Megan Fox was pretty tight. Was kinda hoping that Seth Rogan and Katherine Heigl woulda made an appearance. It's kinda odd that a whole bunch of the plot focuses on her dad being AWOL but her bff sister is nowhere to be found.

3) Loved the shout out mentioning Ross, from the hit tv show Friends. And did anyone catch the reference to Tom Selleck?

4) At tha end of tha day, it's hard to think this was really good. The first hour was tight but then the last hour was just everyone fighting, complaining, and being sad. I mean, they ended the movie just promising to be like they used to be, which begs the question that they weren't happy at the beginning of the movie either.

2008 NCAA Championship DVD

1) In the spirit of today's game and March generally I thought I'd review tha final four DVD of tha 08 championship. Obvi not a review of tha actual game lol. We all know how that would turn out.

2) It's really pretty solid except that it only includes a portion of the UNC/KU game. To top it off the part they cut out is part of that run where we went up 40 to 12 or whatever that beating was. I think Petey has the whole game somewhere but it's sad it's not on here.

3) I was actually at tha final four that year (yeahbuddy). It always makes it kinda weird to watch the video of the game because are seats were on the other side so it always looks backwards lol.

4) Still a pretty solid way to get pumped up for KU games.

Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers (Producer's Cut)

1) I felt like a horror n00b for awhile about this one. For all of my love of the Halloween movies, I never realized that a Producer's Cut originally got filmed for the original movie. I guess really you'd have to google the halloween movies to figure this out, but nonetheless I was smh.

2) Turns out it's a lot weirder but better than the old one. The other one still confuses me about the whole cult thing. I mean, this one is still pretty cray in the explanation that they make up for it, but at least it makes more sense than the theatrical one.

3) The part that really gives me the willies is the storyline about MM being the baby's dad. Doesn't really seem like MM's M.O.

4) All in all it's pretty tight. I mean, I sit around everyday and usually watch at least one of these Halloween movies. It's tight that there's another one I didn't even know about \o/

(oh p.s. I think this is only available on youtube, I don't think they actually released this one).

Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice

1) Seems to be a lot more old people that have came outta the wood work for this one. I thought they all had originally gotten TKO'd in the first one. Doesn't make sense that they all start surfacing after the remaining adults from the first movie almost get killed.

2) And there's a local university nearby? In the original movie Gatlin was out in the middle of nowhere and all the other towns nearby were ghost towns. Now there's some university professor who just happens to be studying the curses of those kids living nearby?

3) And what kind of film was this shot in? It really looks like whatever they filmed Murder She Wrote got transferred over here. Don't count this coming out on blu ray soon lol.

4) And there's the odd coincidence that the dad and his estranged son roll up to this haunted rural town with this children cult and both happen to fall in love with the 2 normal chicks in town. This whole movie is kinda unbelievable lol.

Billy Madison

1) It's a real tight movie. Maybe I personally identify with it a little bit too in that after I graduated high school I realized I hadn't ever really learned anything. I dunno how many times we read McBeth or went over what that chemistry mole thing was but I'm still out to lunch on all of it.

2) This is also when Adam Sandler was hitting his peak as an actor/sort-of-musician. This and Happy Gilmore ran laps around anything he's done in the last 20 years.

3) And it was home to some tight quotes. "Chlorophyll? More like BOREophyll." And obvi one of the tightest elongated quotations in motion picture history .

4) And Ms. Vaughn?! AYE!!!

Scream 2

1) It was a pretty solid sequel. Although I have love for most other initial sequels (see Halloween 2, Hostel Part II, and Child's Play 2), this one wasn't near as good as some of the other famous movie chains.

2) Kinda crazy that the mom killer was Roseanne's sister lol. I get that I get spooked more often than the normal 26 year old. But really after she took her mask off could you really be that scared? This average looking not buff middle aged slow chick is chasing you around? I mean, just runaway FCS. Who knows tho; I've been scared of crazier stuff.

3) As I've mentioned before, one of the tight parts about the Scream movies is that they give a bunch of shout outs to other horror movies. At the same time, it makes me feel a little jitsu b/c I still haven't seen so many of the horror movies that they mention. I guess the blog has a long ways to go lol.

4) Also a big shout out for mentioning two of the characters from the hit tv show Friends.
