The Lodger (2009)
Incredible good thriller, but
Only one thing I was not happy with that little twist at the end(last 1-2 Minutes) It Would have been better without that. But anyway it's so hard to find really good thrillers today so I give it 10/10. The acting was suberb with actislly a really good plot there it was almost Impossible to guess the kiler Never one bore moment in the whole movie. Superb-Suberb-Superb.
The film follows two parallel stories, one being about a troubled detective (Molina) who plays a cat-and-mouse game with an unknown killer and the other being about an emotionally disturbed landlady and her relationship with an enigmatic "lodger" (Simon Baker)
The story opens with a brutal murder of a prostitute taking place on Sunset Boulevard, in Hollywood. The detective in charge is Chandler Manning and his rookie assistant is Street Wilkenson. They initially believe this is a stand-alone murder, but when a second prostitute is killed, the medical examiner says the two murders are not only eerily similar to two murders that took place 7 years prior, but they are exact copies of the first two Jack the Ripper murders in 1888 London. Since Detective Manning had caught who he thought was the murderer of the previous crimes, they now realize the wrong person was tried, prosecuted and executed. Manning is also dealing with a wife who tried to commit suicide, and his estranged daughter, Amanda, who blames him for the attempt.
In a second story line, a couple is looking to rent their guest house when a passerby comes to the door and says he wishes to rent the room. Ellen Bunting takes the lodger, Malcolm Slaight, to see the room and he immediately agrees to rent the guest house but says several times he cannot be disturbed since he is a writer, and needs complete quiet. When Ellen's husband, Joe, asks her why the "for rent" sign has been removed, she says she has rented the room but the lodger needs to be left alone. Joe does not believe she has rented the guest house because he never sees anyone coming or going from the premises, and because he knows his wife has episodes where she imagines things and needs to take medication. Ellen begins to have feelings for the lodger and she goes out of her way to see him. She catches him in their kitchen late one night and when he says he was looking for scissors, she reaches across him to pick up and hand him a pair, but he just takes them and walks out.
The ripper copycat then commits two more murders, but this time he is seen by a witness who describes a man with a long black coat and a black bag. Manning notices a garbage can near the murder site with BATTY written on it; when he opens the lid, he finds a pair of bloody underwear that belong to one of the victims. Wilkenson is suspicious of how he knew there was something in the can, but Manning references the previous ripper murders and how they found a portion of clothing from one of the victims. Manning then goes to the old case files for the man he had previously arrested for the murders 7 years ago, and takes evidence of a letter that was written to him after the arrest had taken place. While there, he pulls his gun on the evidence clerk and tells him to stop following him.
Ellen continues to make contact with the lodger by taking him breakfast and tea - anything to be near him. On one visit she sees a pair of her husband's boots drying on a newspaper, and Malcolm states they got muddy when he walked in the garden. The lodger then kisses her, and Joe can be seen in the house, beginning to head for the guest house. As he is nearing, Ellen opens the door and walks out with the boots, saying she was cleaning them. She sees a picture in the newspaper of a footprint taken of boots that is linked to the crime, and puts the sole of the boot on top of the picture, but then does nothing despite realizing that they are the same size. Joe, getting tired of what he thinks is Ellen's hallucination, forces her next door and tells her he doesn't want to hear another word about the imaginary lodger if they see no one in the room. When the door opens, no one is there and Ellen is left sitting in the rain while Joe disgustedly walks back to the house.
Manning and Wilkenson begin investigating the suspects that are known to frequent the area where the killings are taking place, and this brings them into contact with Joe Bunting. They visit the Bunting home, and Ellen acts suspiciously when she takes them to see the guest house. They leave to get a warrant to search the place, but Manning is pulled into a meeting with the Captain of the precinct and the Mayor. Since he threatened the evidence clerk while at the station, they feel this - combined with his personal life - is causing him to lose touch with reality and they place him on suspension. Det. Wilkenson is left trying to solve the case without the assistance of Manning and when he sees Manning's name on a suspect list, he goes to the Captain. The Captain believes Manning is delusional and psychotic, and not only committed the murders 7 years ago but is obsessed with Jack the Ripper and is committing murders again, just so he can solve them. Manning realizes that the Captain suspects him and observes the Captain and officers searching his apartment, and that they have taken the letter he had stolen from evidence.
Ellen, believing Malcolm is guilty but not caring, goes to the guest house to wipe it clean of any evidence he was ever there, and disturbs a cabinet, causing a gush of red liquid that appears to be blood to spill from it. Malcolm walks in then and confronts her about why she is there and says a bottle of red ink must have spilled. Ellen goes to the house to wash her hands and Malcolm walks in, carrying a black bag. Ellen - realizing he is either about to leave, or worse, kill her - says she will not tell anyone what she has seen and will do anything to protect him. Malcolm appears to let her take the bag from his hand. Meanwhile, Joe is at work and finds that the police have been there to talk to him and becomes agitated.
Manning goes to Wilkenson to ask him for help, as there has been yet another murder, leaving only one woman left to be killed before the murderer disappears. Wilkenson agrees and they get the warrant they need to search the Bunting's guest house but initially find nothing. Manning then realizes the cabinet has not been opened and when they do, in it are maps with red ink and prints on them. Wilkenson and the Captain both look suspiciously at Manning because they believe he is planting evidence, and Wilkenson cuffs Manning to escort him in, though they also place a call to pick up Joe at work. When the police arrive, they realize Joe is no longer there.
We see Manning's daughter, Amanda, leaving her dorm at college and being observed by someone in the shadows. Manning notices two maps at the scene, one of London during the Ripper murders and another of Hollywood, marking the current killing. He sees that the marks on the map line up for the past murders, except now there is a new mark on the Hollywood map that does not line up, and it is exactly where his daughter's dorm is. He talks Wilkenson into removing the cuffs and they head off to grab Amanda, but she is walking down the street, headed to a local venue. She is being followed by someone in a long black coat, wearing boots and begins to run.
She stops and turns when she hears the sirens but the ripper has moved to the side and attempts to attack her when she stops. Manning sees the attack and runs off after the ripper, while Wilkenson stays with Amanda. The ripper is chased into the Bunting home where Manning, the Captain and several officers enter. We see Ellen in the living room, sitting in a rocking chair, wielding a long, curved knife. She drops the knife when they enter and go upstairs; they find Joe has been cut up very badly but is still alive.
The ending provides an explanation for the killings; Ellen became schizophrenic by the death of her baby in child birth 8 years ago, and this sent her into a spiral of killing. She also made up the imaginary life that her son lived, and the lodger, who was a romantic interest for her. Though the police and the press accept that this is the truth and Ellen is the killer, Manning does not believe it and the last scene is Malcolm, at a new residence in Santa Monica, looking for new lodgings.
The Hills Have Eyes Part II (1984)
Why The Low Score?
Do People mix it up with the new version The Hills Have Eyes 2 because that movie was terrible I remember i saw this one When I was a kid and I loved it. And these horror movies they make today are 100 times worse. It's not that scary as the first one but a very good sequel. And you have that scary guy in it to.
After a voice-over narrates on an opening card, Bobby Carter and his psychiatrist are discussing the events of the first film, which took place eight years ago. Bobby is still traumatized by the events, but he and Rachel (formerly known as Ruby), who now owns a biker team, have also invented a super fuel that can power bikes. The team is due to race in the same desert where the original massacre took place. Bobby's psychiatrist advises him to go, but he declines and Rachel takes his place. The team, consisting of the blind Cass, her boyfriend Roy, Harry, Hulk, Foster, Jane and Sue, meets up by a bus and sets off. Along the way, they pick up Beast from a dog pound. Previously owned by the Carters, he now belongs to Rachel.
While going through the desert, they get lost and Harry suggests a shortcut through the bombing range. As they drive, the bus begins leaking fuel and they stop at an old mining ranch. As they explore the mine, Pluto, who apparently survived the earlier attack from Beast, attacks Rachel. She fights him off and he retreats, but no one believes her at first until Pluto returns and steals one of their bikes. Roy and Harry chase him down, but Harry falls behind, gets caught in a trap and is flattened by a massive rock. Roy catches Pluto, but is ambushed by a 7-foot cannibal called the Reaper, who knocks him unconscious. The Reaper is later revealed to be Papa Jupiter's older brother.
Meanwhile, the rest of the group stays at the mine until nightfall. They begin to worry about Roy and Harry, but Rachel and Hulk depart to look for them while the others stay behind. The Reaper begins to stalk the remaining teens. As Hulk and Rachel try to escape by motorcycle, the Reaper shoots Hulk through the chest with a spear bolt, leaving Rachel to run away in fear.
The Reaper returns to the mine, where he pulls Foster under the bus and kills him. Jane finds Foster's body just before the Reaper catches her and crushes her in his arms. Sue returns to the camp, only for the Reaper to throw her through a window and slit her throat with a machete. Rachel runs into Pluto, who pins her to the ground, but Beast surprises him and chases him away. Rachel tries to follow Beast, but runs into a trap set by the Reaper, which catapults Hulk's corpse against her. Slammed backwards, she trips and fatally hits the back of her head on a rock.
Meanwhile, Roy wakes up and runs into Pluto at the top of a cliff. Pluto gets ready to attack him, but Beast returns and knocks him off the cliff to his death. Cass runs from the Reaper and ends up in his mineshaft where he dumped the bodies, and comes across the corpses of her friends. She throws a jar of acid at the Reaper's face and escapes up a rope with help from Roy. The Reaper follows them, but they trap him in a bus full of bike fuel, set it on fire and watch as it explodes. The Reaper escapes from the wreckage covered in flames and attempts to kill them one last time, but he stumbles into an open mineshaft, falling to his death after which Roy and Cass embrace. The film ends with Roy, Cass and Beast walking away from the mine at sunrise, into the vast desert as they follow the road home.
Flightplan (2005)
Very Good and Intense Thriller
This One took me by surprise! Not bored One moment and that is how a movie should be made. Very Good Movie
Recently widowed Berlin-based American aviation engineer Kyle Pratt takes her husband David's body back to the United States with her 6-year-old daughter Julia, aboard an aircraft she helped design, a brand new Elgin E-474 (loosely based on the Airbus A380 with the aircraft's classification number being similar to the Boeing 747) operated by Aalto Airlines. Awakening from a nap, Kyle finds Julia is gone, and none of the passengers or crew recall seeing her. Flight attendant Stephanie tells Kyle there is no record of her daughter boarding the flight, and Kyle is unable to find Julia's boarding pass and backpack. At a panicked Kyle's insistence, Captain Marcus Rich conducts a search of the aircraft, while sky marshal Gene Carson monitors her. Kyle accuses two Arab passengers of stalking her daughter the night before, resulting in a fight breaking out and Kyle being handcuffed.
Kyle reveals that her husband died falling from the roof of an avionic manufacturing building, which she doubts was suicide. Captain Rich receives a message from a Berlin hospital that Julia died with her father, and is convinced that Kyle, unhinged by her husband's and daughter's deaths, imagined bringing Julia on board. The increasingly erratic Kyle is confined to her seat, where a therapist, Lisa, consoles her. Kyle doubts her own sanity until she notices the heart Julia drew in the condensation on the window next to her seat.
Kyle asks to use the bathroom, where she climbs into the overhead crawl space and sabotages the aircraft's electronics. In the ensuing chaos, she rides a dumbwaiter to the lower freight deck and unlocks David's casket, suspecting Julia to be inside, but finds only her husband's body. Carson escorts her to her seat in handcuffs, and explains that the flight is making an emergency stopover at Goose Bay Airport, in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, where she will be taken into custody.
She pleads with Carson to search the aircraft's hold, and he sneaks down to the freight deck. Removing two explosives and a detonator concealed in David's casket, he plants the explosives in the avionics section. It is revealed that Carson, Stephanie, and the Berlin mortuary director have conspired to hijack the aircraft for a $50 million ransom and frame Kyle; they abducted Julia to cause Kyle to unlock the casket. Carson lies to Rich that Kyle is threatening to bomb the aircraft unless the ransom is wired to a bank account and a G3 aircraft is readied upon landing. He then plans to detonate the explosives, killing Julia, and leave Kyle dead with the detonator in her hand.
Landing in Newfoundland, the airliner is surrounded by FBI agents as the passengers exit the aircraft. Kyle confronts Rich, who angrily declares that the ransom has been paid. Realizing that Carson is the perpetrator, she quickly assumes the role of hijacker, commanding Carson to remain aboard and the crew to leave. After the plane's door closes, she strikes Carson unconscious with a fire extinguisher, handcuffs him to a rail, and takes the detonator from his pocket. Carson quickly regains consciousness, frees himself and pursues Kyle, who locks herself in the cockpit, but she manages to draw Carson away by throwing a binder out a hatch door to the upper level as a ruse so she can escape. After an altercation with Kyle, a guilt-ridden Stephanie flees the airliner in a panic.
Kyle finds the unconscious Julia but Carson arrives, revealing that he murdered David in order to smuggle the explosives inside his casket and gagged and dumped Julia into the food bin, believing that neither the passengers nor the crew would care enough to notice. Kyle escapes with Julia into the aircraft's non-combustible hold as Carson shoots at her. She detonates the explosives, killing Carson and damaging the aircraft's landing gear, but she and Julia emerge unscathed as the crew realize she had been telling the truth all along. The next morning, in the passenger waiting section of the airport, Captain Rich apologizes to a seated Kyle holding Julia in her arms as Stephanie is led away by FBI agents for her crimes, while another agent informs them that the Berlin mortuary director has also been arrested, adding that they are tracking down another accomplice who erased Julia's record from the flight manifest. Kyle silently redeems herself by carrying Julia through the crowd of passengers who realize the truth. As one of the Arab passengers assists Kyle in loading her luggage onto a waiting van, Julia awakens and sleepily asks "Are we there yet?" as they drive away.
The Descent (2005)
Very overated Horror Movie
Seen mayby 1000 Horror Movies that is better then This One. I Give it 3+
When I Watch Horror movies I want some cliffhanger and not just grotesque scenes. It's The New boring trend in horror movies. This movie was not scary at all and very unrealistic. It started just ok first 30 min but went downhill pretty fast. And these monsters was 20 times faster and stronger but still some of these women survied a whole hour in the movie. And one scene there was 20 of these monsters and fighting two women and suddenly there was only one of the Ugly monsters if I remeber correct. The Vamyre Nosferatu from 1922 is more scary the the monster in This movie. And it's was boring. In general I think Horror movies from the 80's and some from the 70's are 10 tines more scary. After all this PlayStation Effect startet it has gone downhill with horror movies after my opinion.
Filming took place in the United Kingdom. Exterior scenes were filmed at Ashridge Park, Hertfordshire, and in Scotland. Because the filmmakers considered it too dangerous and time-consuming to shoot in an actual cave, interior scenes were filmed on sets built at Pinewood Studios near London designed by Simon Bowles.
The Descent opened in cinemas in the United Kingdom on 8 July 2005. It premiered in the 2006 Sundance Film Festival and released on 4 August 2006 in the United States. The film received positive reviews with praise for the performances, cinematography and Marshall's direction. It was also a box-office success, grossing $57.1 million worldwide against a £3.5 million budget. Since its release, it has been regarded as one of the best horror films of the 2000s.

Sorority Row (2009)
Much better then ecpected!
I have seen so many crap teen movie lately and this was one of the better. And Incredible beautiful women and the acting was good too. I liked the plot too.
Rosman University students and Theta Pi sorority sisters Cassidy, Jessica, Ellie, Claire, Chugs, and Megan attend a party to celebrate their senior year, during which they pull a prank on Garrett, Chugs' brother and Megan's boyfriend, as revenge for his infidelity. As part of the prank, Megan fakes her death, leading to Garrett and the girls leaving for the steel mine to dump her body. However, he stabs her with a tire iron, inadvertently killing her. The group throw Megan's body and the tire iron down a mine shaft before vowing to never discuss the incident again, though Cassidy and Ellie are reluctant.
Eight months later, with graduation approaching, the girls all receive a text message from an anonymous person containing an image of a robed arm holding a bloodied tire iron. They initially suspect Garrett, but Chugs insists he has changed following the incident and is not mentally competent. Amidst this, Megan's younger sister Maggie arrives at the university to honor her sister's memory. Later, a hooded individual murders Chugs, Joanna - a sorority sister who overheard Claire and Jessica discussing Megan's death - and Claire's boyfriend Mickey, the last of which Ellie witnesses.
As Cassidy, Claire, Jessica, and Ellie regroup, they receive a text containing video of Megan's death and a message demanding they return to the steel mine or else the video will be sent to the police. When the girls arrive, they encounter a guilt-ridden Garrett, who had cut his wrists. Still believing he is sending the texts, Jessica runs him over with her car, only to learn he also received the texts. Ellie fears Megan is still alive and seeking revenge. The girls lower Cassidy down the mine shaft they threw Megan's body into to confirm that she is still dead, but she finds a message written in blood saying "Theta Pi must die" instead of Megan's body.
Upon returning to their sorority house, the girls receive a text from Chugs' phone saying she is dead before the killer murders Claire. While searching for Jessica's boyfriend, Kyle, the girls encounter Maggie and their housemother, Mrs. Crenshaw. They reveal what they did to the latter, who tells them to lock themselves in a bedroom and call the police while she searches the house. Thinking Megan is alive, Maggie leaves to find her while Cassidy and Jessica look for Mickey's body to retrieve his cellphone. The killer murders Mrs. Crenshaw and attempts to kill Maggie with a Molotov cocktail, setting the house ablaze. Cassidy and Jessica eventually find Kyle, who fights and injures the latter. The pair flee to a bathroom, but find Megan's corpse in the shower before Kyle catches up to them and knocks out Jessica before Andy, Cassidy's boyfriend, kills him, revealing he is the killer.
Having learned of Megan's death from Ellie and believing his future with Cassidy is in danger if the girls are ever caught, he set about killing everyone who knew of Megan's death. He subsequently kills Jessica, but Cassidy tricks him into thinking Ellie is in the basement. As he leaves to find her, Cassidy finds Ellie upstairs and they attempt to escape, but Andy finds them. Hurt by Cassidy's betrayal, he fights her while Ellie escapes. Upon hearing Maggie's cries for help, Cassidy breaks off to save her, but is attacked by Andy. He nearly kills her, but Ellie grabs Mrs. Crenshaw's shotgun and shoots him. As the floor gives way and sends him falling to his death, the three girls escape the burning house as emergency personnel arrive.
A further fifteen months later, Maggie, who's a sophomore, is inducted into Theta Pi while a man with slashed wrists (presumably Garrett) watches from afar.
Powder Blue (2009)
Very disappointing
So god actors in a really crap movie. It was really boring and sentimental. And after 45 minutes I had to fast forward. Seen over 3500 movies and this must be at bottom 350.

Velvet Larry is the head of a corporate crime organization. He owns a sleazy strip club where Rose-Johnny, a single mother whose young son is in a coma, dances. Qwerty Doolittle is a young mortician who falls in love with her. Velvet Larry tries to convince Jack Doheny, his former employee, not to seek vengeance on his co-workers. Doheny later reveals to Rose-Johnny that he is her father. Charlie is a suicidal ex-priest. Lexus is a pre-op trans woman sex worker who shares an unexpected emotional bond with the priest.
Pretty Poison (1996)
Very Good Movie!!
When I see that some in here give it 1 out of ten and I think what knowledge they have on movies. Really the worst movie you have seen? I bet they have seen 50 movies in total. And there are movies that are 100 times worse then this one! Is it a 10 out of 10 movie. Nope but I think it's so much unserious Rating in here then I do the same thing. I think 6,5 out of 10 is probably right Rating after my opinion. And the acting is superb and very naturally. Back then they could act and not like these fake botox actors today. And I love the Incredible nice location they use in these good old movies before 1998. After that year mostly of the movies have been so Incredible bad and acting is not natural anymore. Of course Some good movies Are there but i saw 40 movies in two weeks and only two was good. And all of them was made after 1998.
Sue Ann Stepanek (Wendy Benson-Landes) is the main villainess in the 1996 made for TV movie "Pretty Poison". This was a remake of the 1968 film with the same title, which starred Tuesday Weld as Sue Ann Stepanek, and Anthony Perkins and Beverly Garland.
Years ago, after a savage beating from his father, Dennis Pitt (Grant Show) started a housefire that incinerated his parents. He insists that, while the arson was deliberate, the incineration was accidental in that he thought they were out.
Now Dennis is being released from the Kenneth M. Gordon Correctional Facility for the Criminally Disturbed, somewhere in Massachusetts, and his parole officer, Jane Azenauer (Lynne Thigpen), couldn't be more delighted. She seems also to be his psychotherapist and regards him as one of her successes. Jane sends him off with a list of apartments and the info on a job at the post office, an employer unfazed by his past history.
Instead, without Azenauer's permission, he gets hired at the Sausenfeld chemical plant in the small town of Winsloe, Massachusetts. Politely deflecting the advances of pretty new neighbor Bea (Dorothee Berryman), he instead becomes infatuated with the fresh-faced blonde head cheerleader of the local high school football team, 17-year-old Sue Ann Stepanek.
In a planned encounter with the teen, Dennis manipulates her in a made up scenario in which he is avoiding detection. The two kiss before he leaves her alone. Sue Ann is left feeling a little intrigued.
After the next football game, Sue Ann waits for Dennis. After giving up on him, she is surprised when he comes up behind her in the parking lot and the two go for a ride in the car. The two become involved and things heat up between them.
Sue Ann even helps Dennis out of a jam with his parole officer by lying to her over the phone about where he is and what he has been up to.
Soon Dennis persuades her that he's a covert government agent in town on a secret mission. He asks her to assist him in an assignment. In due course, despite the disparity in their ages (he's perhaps in his mid-twenties), she seduces him. His "mission," he eventually tells her, is to establish that the Sausenfeld plant is deliberately polluting the local river. There are dead fish everywhere, and indeed he's correct in tracing a pipe from the plant to a hidden outlet in the river.
What he and Sue Ann must do is commit an act of nocturnal sabotage that will make the plant's crime manifest to the world.
On the night of the mission, Dennis is introduced to Sue Ann's mother (Michelle Phillips). The mother gives her blessing to the relationship, believing that Dennis's intentions are "honorable". Mrs. Stepanek is fully aware that Sue Ann is the "pretty poison" of the title as she receives constant beratement from her daughter. Mrs. Stephanek has her own ill-concealed relationship with materialistic boyfriend Benjamin (Frank Schorpion). Sue Ann tells Dennis she hates them both, and Dennis obligingly hurls a rock into the windshield of Benjamin's snazzy car. Neither Mrs. Stepanek nor Benjamin seem to have any idea who committed the vandalism, even though there's one very obvious suspect: Sue Ann.
In the committing the act at the plant, they're caught by security guard Sam Joyles (Walter Bolton). To Dennis's horror, Sue Ann strikes the man unconscious with a heavy wrench, then drowns him in the river. Afterwards, she's red-hot for sex which should have been a warning that Dennis that she is dangerous. While having sex in the vehicle, the two are caught by two policemen, who escort them to Sue Ann's house. Here Sue Ann and her mother get into a war of words.
The cops, in the shape of Chief Hagerty (Ted Whittall) and his colleague Goodman (Steve Adams), investigate the sabotage of the plant and the murder of Joyles, and obviously Dennis, with the criminal record that has recently seen him fired by plant manager Bud Munsch (Doug Lennox), is front and center of their list of suspects. At the same time, he has an excellent alibi.
While Dennis is paranoid that they are going to get caught, Sue Ann is the calm cool and collected of the two.
Next, Sue Ann tries to convince Dennis of shooting her mother with the gun she pulled off the cop she killed. When Dennis can't go through with it, Sue Ann immediately picks up the gun and shoots her mother who ends up at the bottom of the stairwell dead. The two then bundle up the body and load her into the trunk of the car. Dennis deposits the body in the water and is immediately arrested.
It's no surprise when it is discovered that Sue Ann has been manipulating Dennis all along. As she tearfully tells the cops all the dreadful things Dennis has forced her to do, it's clear there's not a cop in the room who harbors the slightest doubt that Dennis is a homicidal maniac. Yet Jane Azenauer smells a rat, and even more so when Dennis insists that he's the killer. Dennis is happy to once again have his free pass back to the security of the Kenneth M. Gordon Correctional Facility for the Criminally Disturbed, and away from Sue Ann. Nevertheless he still gives her a fairly strong hint that Sue Ann might be worth continued observation.
The film ends with Sue Ann meeting another older man and lamenting to him that the people who took her in after her mother's death won't let her stay out late. It is implied that she will use and destroy him just as she did Dennis. But Dennis's parole officer is indeed watching as she departs with her latest victim.
Wendy Benson's rendition of the Tuesday Weld role seems more faithful to the original. She's the seemingly All-American girl, innocent to a fault, so virginal even in her extraordinarily skimpy miniskirts. And yet she's also both promiscuous and a psychopath. Benson plays Sue Ann as a 17-year-old trying desperately to be a 25-year-old, with all the gauche pseudo-sophistication of teenagers going through that phase. Since Benson was a 25-year-old actress presenting herself as a 17-year-old, this effect works surprisingly well.
Irresistible (2006)
Not bad at all!
I Wan't Call This a Erotic Thriller. Anyway it was surprisingly better than expected and 5,7 is a bit to low for this movie. There are so many crap movies with the same score. It was also a bit surpring and there where no dull moment. Maby 8 was to much but i liked it.
Sophie Hartley is a happily married book illustrator with two young daughters, Ruby and Elly. One afternoon while walking home from school, she suddenly remembers she forgot to turn the iron off and rushes home. When she gets there, she finds the iron still hot but switched off. Later, she senses someone in the house but shrugs it off.
Sophie attends a party with her husband Craig and meets his new co-worker, Mara. They go for a walk along the beach, where Mara offers Sophie sympathy for her mother's recent passing, telling her she lost her best friend Kate who had been an aid worker looking after orphans in Kosovo. She tells Sophie that someone threw a Molotov cocktail through the window of the orphanage, and Kate burned to death trying to save the babies.
Over the weeks that follow, certain items appear to go missing from the house including one of Sophie's dresses and Elly's favourite toy. Sophie also finds one of her paintings destroyed but assumes the cat knocked over an inkwell, and she is later attacked by a swarm of wasps that appear out of an ornament in her studio. After seeing Mara wearing the missing dress, she comes to suspect that Mara is breaking into the house. She breaks into Mara's to collect proof, but gets caught and is given a restraining order. Craig does not back up Sophie in court.
Sophie suspects Craig may be having an affair with Mara but he is quick to deny it. She later goes to a friend's cabin to spend time apart from her family and clear her mind. During a conversation with her father, it is revealed that Sophie became pregnant at the age of 18 before she met Craig, and the baby was surrendered to an orphanage against her wishes.
Upon returning home, Sophie discovers her cat is missing. Suspecting Mara is behind it, she breaks into Mara's house again; she finds the cat but the alarm goes off. Sophie hides in the basement where she finds Elly's toy and family photos with her face cut out of them, and realises her suspicions of Mara were correct. She also finds a birth certificate and a letter from an adoption agency addressed to Mara, informing her that, despite her request, her biological mother did not wish to make contact with her. Sophie comes to believe that Mara was the baby she gave up.
Meanwhile at the office, Mara attempts to seduce Craig but they are interrupted by a phone call from the school who say Sophie has forgotten to pick up the children. Mara offers to get them and takes them back to her house where Sophie is trying to escape via the air ducts. Mara discovers her and confronts Sophie in the basement. Sophie reveals she knows she is her mother and apologies for giving her up. Mara strikes Sophie then smashes a bottle of wine on the floor, dropping a lit match and setting the basement on fire. A struggle ensues and Mara catches fire, but Sophie helps her to leave the house safely.
In the hospital, Craig is given the contents of his wife's pockets. Among them is the birth certificate and letter from the adoption agency. When Sophie wakes up, Craig tells her he knows about Mara, and they resolve to make their relationship work. Later, Sophie visits Mara in her hospital room; she tells Mara she was brave to try to meet her and asks for forgiveness. They finally embrace as Mara weeps, apparently now forging a true mother-daughter bond. When the nurse tells Sophie she can't be there, she replies, "I'm her mother."
While Mara continues to recover at home, she pores over old news clippings and photos of Kate. There is a photo of Mara and Kate together as children in the orphanage, and we see that Kate looked just like Elly does now. In another photo of them as adults in Kosovo, it appears Kate grew up to be the spitting image of Sophie, revealing Kate to be Sophie's daughter. Mara angrily cuts out Ruby's face from a family photo and replaces it with her own. The caption written in the scrapbook reads "Mother and Me".
The Perfect Husband (2004)
Nothing New and really Braindead Movie!
How many times have I seen this movie. Must be 500 of them at least! Og course I have seen even worse movies but holy crap they can't make movies like they did back in the Years from ca. 80 '-97'. After that it have gone downhill. And When the actors look stupid you can't take the movie serious either. 2,5 Rating is correct after my opinion. It's like the director's today can't think anymore!! The old movies early 90's are Incredible compere to these new Life Time movies. The location,plot, camera Work and dialog and acting back then was 100 times better then these New movies today.
Lisa meets widowed author Ty Kellington and it's not long before they marry. At first, everything seems fine, but then Ty begins to resent all intrusions to their relationship and attempts to eliminate them. He's suspicious and possessive and is even unhappy about Lisa's pregnancy. When Lisa hurts her ankle during an argument, she becomes a prisoner in her own home. Ty becomes more and more controlling, unbalanced, and dangerous.
Pandorum (2009)
Very Boring and not Scary at all!
They Can't make good Horror movie anymore. I grew up with good old Horror movies like Alien,Aliens, The Blob, Child's Play,Hidden,Hellraiser,Brain Damage,Friday the 13th,Nightmare in a Damage Brain, An American Werewolf in London,Fright Night and a lot more... And 40-50 years after with all the technology they have and still the old Sci Fi/Horror movies are 100 times better! I was told rhis movie was very good. So I'm very disappointed. The movie was very simple,boring and not scary at all.
After human overpopulation depletes Earth's resources, humanity builds an interstellar ark, the Elysium. It carries 60,000 people on a 123-year trip to colonize Tanis, an Earth-like planet. The passengers are placed in hypersleep, and a rotating crew wake biennially to maintain the ship. Eight years into the mission, the ship receives a transmission from Earth: "You're all that's left of us. Good luck, God bless, and Godspeed."
An indeterminate time later, two members of the flight crew, Corporal Bower and Lieutenant Payton, awaken. Improper emergence from the hibernatory state leaves them both with partial amnesia and possibly suffering from pandorum, a space-related disorder that causes psychosis when under emotional duress. The ship experiences power surges caused by an unstable nuclear reactor, and they are unable to enter the bridge. While Payton stays behind to access the ship's computer, Bower uses the ventilation system to search for the reactor.
Bower first finds a disemboweled body and a trapped mechanic, named Shepard. Shepard wakes up, startling Bower, who then frees him. Shepard mistakes Bower for a rescue team, before dousing his body in oil to cover his scent. Shepard then tells him to escape "them". Bower tries to order Shepard to tell him what is going on, but Shepard refuses, citing there is no longer a chain of command. The noise summons a group of cannibalistic humanoids who appear to respond mostly to sound. They both flee and hide but are soon found by the creatures. Shepard is killed by the group, while Bower tries to attack them with a non-lethal weapon he found earlier, which proves ineffective. He flees and continues on and encounters an environmental scientist, Nadia, and a farmer, Manh, who does not speak English; both are hostile. He encourages them to band together, and the trio flees into a barricaded chamber, where they find a cook named Leland. Leland has been awake for years, living off the water oozing through parts of the ship, the algae it creates, and resorting to cannibalism. Payton encounters Corporal Gallo, who claims the ship is lost in space and that he killed his team in self-defense.
Leland feeds Bower's group and shows them mural drawings depicting what has happened: after Earth vanished following an unknown catastrophe, Gallo went insane, killed his crew, and induced pandorum in other passengers. After goading them into a violent and tribal culture, Gallo went back into hypersleep. Aided by accelerated evolution from an enzyme meant to help colonists adjust to life on Tanis, the descendants have turned into cannibalistic mutants. Leland gasses the group, intending to eat them, but Bower convinces him the reactor must be stabilized.
As they search the ship for the reactor, Bower hopes to find his wife in an area for family in hypersleep but remembers that she died with everyone else on Earth when she refused to join him. This revelation almost makes him give up and pushes him closer to insanity. After surviving an encounter with the cannibals, Bower's group finds the reactor. A crowd of mutants sleep under the reactor, and Bower crosses a walkway to reset it. The walkway collapses, and Bower climbs down into the mutant pit to reach a ladder. While Manh distracts the mutants, Bower restarts the reactor, killing many mutants. Leland flees, and Manh is cornered by the mutant leader. Manh kills the leader but is killed by a mutant child he hesitates to slay.
Gallo becomes increasingly agitated, and Payton prepares a sedative. As they wrestle over the sedative, Gallo is revealed to be a hallucination as Payton is Gallo. Gallo killed the real Payton long ago when he developed pandorum upon hearing Earth was gone. Because he went into Payton's pod, Gallo mistakenly believed himself to be Payton when he woke up with amnesia. Leland reaches the bridge, and Gallo kills him with the sedative. When Bower and Nadia confront him, Gallo opens the shutters on the bridge's windows, revealing that the ship is adrift in deep space with no stars visible. The shock pushes Bower further toward insanity. Taking advantage of Bower's mental state, Gallo argues they must maintain the violent society rather than revive civilization.
Nadia observes bioluminescent ocean life through the windows, and the computer displays that 923 years have elapsed since the mission launched. The ship reached Tanis 800 years ago and landed itself in the ocean. Bower hallucinates a mutant attack and breaks a window. As water pours into the ship, Nadia and Bower climb into a hypersleep pod and eject it. The flood triggers an emergency protocol which ejects the remaining 1,211 untainted pods to the surface, while Gallo and the remaining mutants drown. Bower and Nadia surface near a lush coastline, and they witness the other pods ascend.
Malibu Shark Attack (2008)
Baywatch with Ugly Plastic Shark!
How is it possible to allow People to make movies like this! Really Braindead! A Huge Tsunami wave and that little shed still standing??? The Director can't know how a Tsunami works!
Heather (Peta Wilson) is the head-lifeguard on a Malibu beach, alongside her ex-boyfriend Chavez (Warren Christie), Doug (Remi Broadway) and Barb (Sonya Salomaa). Also on the beach are Jenny (Chelan Simmons), a teenage girl who is reluctantly cleaning the beach for community service after she got caught shoplifting, and Bryan (Nicholas G. Cooper), Barb's boyfriend who proposes to her. Meanwhile, a tremor unleashes a group of Living fossil goblin sharks who begin to devour swimmers along the beach. Chavez travels to a nearby house that is undergoing construction and meets with the workers Colin (Jeffery Gannon), who is Heather's new boyfriend, George (Mungo McKay), Yancey (Renee Bowen) and Karl (Evert McQueen). A warning of a tsunami arises and Chavez returns to the beach, saving Heather who had been knocked into the water by a shark after being sent to investigate some people causing trouble in the water. Doug and Barb evacuate the beach, and take shelter in the lifeguard hut with Heather, Chavez, Jenny and Bryan.
As the tsunami hits, Bryan is knocked unconscious and Jenny suffers a large cut on her leg. Heather manages to stitch the cut together; however, the blood attracts the goblin sharks, and the group realize they are stranded in the hut, with help unlikely due to the damage the tsunami has created. The sharks soon begin to attack the hut and manage to break the floor, dragging Barb out and devouring her. As the group mourn Barb's death, the construction crew have become stranded in the house where they were working. Yancey decides to try to swim to land and get help; however, she is quickly attacked and eaten by sharks. Then a shark jumps up and drags Karl into the water. Soon after, Colin and George discover a boat and begin to travel to the hut. Back at the hut, the group manage to kill one of the sharks, and Chavez swims out of the hut to retrieve a flare gun. The others attempt to distract the sharks, but one attempts to eat Chavez, resulting in him shooting and killing the shark with the flare gun, instead of summoning help.
Chavez returns, and the group move up to the roof as the sharks continue to damage the hut. Colin and George arrive on the boat and everyone boards, but the fuel soon runs out, forcing them to drift to land. After hours, the boat reaches the house that was under construction. The boat becomes stuck on a gate, so George enters the site to try to find pliers to open the gate. As the rest wait, the sharks arrive. Bryan jumps into the water, sacrificing himself so the rest can escape. Doug, Jenny and Colin manage to get into the flooded house and encounter a shark but manage to kill it, while Heather and Chavez discover a half eaten George, before taking shelter in a car, where they reconcile. Chavez kills another shark, before entering the house with Heather. The group meet up, and manage to trap and kill the final shark. In the morning, a helicopter arrives to rescue the survivors.
Perfect Little Angels (1998)
Very Boring
This movie is done many times before and it was very boring and the acting just not very good. I like Cheryl Ladd but sadly this was not one of her best movies. I have seen over 3000 movies and I give this One just 2 out of 10.
Having just moved to a new town, widow Elaine Freedman and her teenage daughter Justine are greeted by the effusive, terribly nice Dr. Calvin Lawrence. Sensing that Justine is bit testy and out of sorts, Dr. Lawrence recommends that she begin taking a special vitamin which he manufactures in his own home. Before long, Justine is the model of perfection -- just like all the other teenagers in town.
Stranger in My House (1999)
Holy Crap This Movie Was So Bad!
How is it possible to make a movie this bad? I mean there are so much meaningless crap dialoge in the movie. And that Woman Lindsay Crouse did she pay the director money to get a role in the movie. And Some of the actors must have been randomly picked up from a Shopping Mall or something and tried really hard to find the worst actors there. The plot must be the worst i have seen ever and the acting too. It's like they tried to fill the movie with crap and nonsense. And how did this movie get over 5 out of 10. For me it was a weak 0 out of 10. Bottom 10 movies of all time.
Recently divorced, Patti Young decides to take research student Lara Lewis in as a boarder to keep her costs down. However, not long after she moves into the house, Lara becomes unstable. When Patti asks about excessive power costs, Lara keeps to the letter of their tenancy contract and refuses to pay more, which places financial burden on Patti. Lara soon engages in various malicious activities, including fooling Patti's lawyer ex-husband into writing letters threatening legal action, poisoning Patti's cat and calling the police with fictitious complaints of violence, eventually getting a restraining order barring Patti from returning to her own house.
Our Guys: Outrage at Glen Ridge (1999)
There are better movies with the same Plot out there
Was a little dissapointed by this movie. I think Tough it was better than average. Because I have seen a lot of movie with almost same plot and many of them was way better then this one. Acting was good. No problem there. I give it a strong 5 out of 10.
In 1989, an intellectually disabled 17-year-old girl was raped with a broomstick and a baseball bat by members of the Glen Ridge High School football team in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. This event attracted nationwide attention, mainly due to the perception that the assailants had been given special treatment by the school and local authorities due to their status as local football stars. The events were later documented in a book and TV movie.
Buried Secrets (1996)
5+ out of 10 Movie
Not the worst movie I have seen, but I have seen better movie with almost same plot. It was slighly better than average after my opinion.
First i thought it was Sherelyn Fenn in the movie but her name is Tiffani-Amber Thiessen.
Annalisse Vellum (Tiffani-Amber Thiessen) is a young woman who, along with her mother Laura Vellum (Melinda Culea), move back to her mother's hometown, sometime after the death of her father. They rent the home of Laura's old school classmate, Clay Roff (Tim Matheson), whose troubled teenage daughter Mary (Erika Flores) disappeared sometime earlier. Clay invites the two women to dinner at his house, where they meet his current wife, Danielle Roff (Kelly Rutherford), and his young daughter, Heather. Soon after moving in, Annalisse starts having nightmares about a woman falling over a cliff, and is being haunted by the spirit of Mary. Annalisse begins to suspect foul play in Mary's disappearance and the death of Mary's mother, Ann, who she was having the nightmares about. Annalisse is soon suspected of a mental disorder by her mother, Clay and Danielle.
Annalisse becomes interested in a local man, Johnny Toussard (Channon Roe), which upsets Mary's spirit. Clay warns her not to get involved with the dangerous man. Despite these warnings, the two see each other, setting off Mary's wrath. Danielle convinces Annalisse's mother to have her temporarily committed for observation. While Clay watches from outside, Danielle states that Annalisse may be suffering the same mental illness Mary had. When released, Annalisse decides to investigate into Danielle's past; she discovers Danielle was treating and drugging Mary, and suspects she murdered Ann. Mary possesses Annalisse to visit Johnny, confronts her father, and her spirit rides her beloved horse and tramples Danielle, killing her. Clay discovered Danielle had murdered Ann, drugged Mary into a psychotic state, and has been drugging Annalise to keep her silent. Danielle had been having an affair with the then-married Clay; she was pregnant and had been plotting to marry him. Clay had blocked out burying Mary's body by the cliff after he believed she had murdered her mother, then committed suicide. Mary's spirit is now at rest; she thanks Annalisse, saying she will wait for her on the other side, and vanishes. Annalisse reunites with Johnny and is free.

Fido (2006)
I Think It Was a Zombie Who Made This Movie!
First of all I don't find any humor in making comedy of a Zombie Movie. And the plot and the whole movie was a long ride of boredom. I'm so frustrated i bought this movie. A weak 1 out of 10
On My Bottom 50 list of bad Braindead movies.
The film takes place in a 1950s-esque alternate universe where radiation from space has turned the dead into zombies. This resulted in the "Zombie Wars", where humanity battled zombies to prevent a zombie apocalypse, with humanity the ultimate victor. The radiation still plagues humanity, as all those who die turn into the undead, unless the dead body is disposed of by decapitation or cremation. In order to continue living normal lives, communities are fenced with the help of a governing corporation named ZomCon. ZomCon provides collars with accompanying remote controls to control the zombies' hunger for flesh so as to use them as menial task servants.
In the town of Willard, housewife Helen Robinson (Carrie-Anne Moss) buys a zombie (Billy Connolly) in spite of her husband Bill's (Dylan Baker) zombie phobia, as Bill had to kill his own father who had become a zombie and tried to eat him. Their son, Timmy (K'Sun Ray), befriends the zombie, naming him "Fido" (little is revealed of his "pre-zombie" life, except that he likely died of myocardial infarction as evidenced by the chest incision). One day, Fido's collar malfunctions and he accidentally kills their next door neighbor, who turns into a zombie. Timmy "kills" the zombified neighbor later, but not before she kills and infects another person, causing a small zombie outbreak. ZomCon security forces quell the situation and then investigate what caused the outbreak.
When a pair of local bullies get caught shooting a ZomCon officer, they are suspected of shooting the missing neighbor, but they point the blame on Fido who hurt them when they tried bullying Timmy. The bullies later capture Fido and Timmy, who are out on a walk in the country. Fido escapes and, in a parody of Lassie, is sent by Timmy to go home and find Helen. Helen comes and rescues Timmy from the bullies (who, through their own misadventure and Fido's hunger for human flesh, are now zombies), and they try to forget about the whole thing. Several days later, the neighbor's body is 'uncovered' and the murder is traced back to Fido, who is taken away to ZomCon where the family is told he will be destroyed. Timmy learns through Cindy Bottoms (Alexia Fast), daughter of Jonathan Bottoms (Henry Czerny), ZomCon's zealous security chief, that Fido has been put to work in a factory at ZomCon. Timmy sets out to rescue him with the help of Mr. Theopolis (Tim Blake Nelson), a previous ZomCon employee who was forced to leave when it was discovered he was suspected of fraternizing with his attractive female zombie.
Meanwhile, Timmy locates Fido, but is captured by Mr. Bottoms, who attempts to throw Timmy into the zombie-infested "wild zone" that exists outside of the fenced communities as punishment for his becoming attached to a zombie. Bill comes to the rescue and is killed in a struggle with Mr. Bottoms, who in turn is killed by Fido. Timmy is set free and the news media states that the ZomCon security breach was the fault of rednecks who ventured out into the wild zone to hunt zombies for fun. Helen gives Bill the headless funeral he always wanted in order to prevent his zombification. The film ends with Fido as a surrogate father to Timmy, Helen, and Helen's newborn baby. They, along with a few neighbors, happily enjoy their new domestic lives together, including the zombified Jonathan Bottoms who is now under the control of his daughter.

My Son Johnny (1991)
Wow-Wow-Wow What a Nice Surprise
Fantastic Story line and acting just fantastic. It startet a bit boring but after 5-10 minutes it got better and better. And you could feel the desperation from the poor brother and felt with him. One of the strongest movies I have seen in a long time. I give it a strong 8 out of 10
Johnny Cortino is a 21-year-old hoodlum returning home to Baltimore after a stint in California; exactly why he's back is not clear and, when confronted for details, Johnny is able to fast-talk his way out of every corner he is backed in to. Yet, it is clear that his widowed mother Marianne is glad to see her son that - despite his problems - is still the apple of her eye. And it is equally clear that 17-year-old Anthony is terrified that his older brother is back in the house.
As soon as Johnny returns home, the war of intimidation quickly resumes, and Anthony finally reaches the breaking-point when, after a particularly nasty beating by Johnny, he pulls a gun on his brother and shoots him to death. With Anthony facing a life sentence for murder, Marianne has one chance of saving him: following years of denial about Johnny's bullying, she is torn between upholding his memory and defending her younger offspring, but also realizes she must confront the terrible truth about Johnny and, before the eyes of the world, admit there has been a lifetime of sibling violence. In the end, the verdict is read and Anthony is found not guilty.
She Woke Up Pregnant (1996)
Just terrible!
When the title of the movie is ridiculous then mayby the movie is awful and it was. And when actors somehow overacting then it's not good actors either. The plot was awful. Mayby a strong 2 out of 10 movie. Of course there are even worse movies out there.

Baby Snatcher (1992)
Very Good Munch
Not bad at all. Good acting and good story. Back then they made very good based on true story movies. I give it a 7 out of 10.

Ruth is also interviewing people to find a babysitter for all of Karen's children, including Rachael Ann White, a daughter by a married man, David Anderson (David Duchovny), who used to be Karen's boss.
Another couple, Bianca Hudson (Veronica Hamel) and her husband Cal Hudson (Michael Madsen), are experiencing marital problems. He informs her that he has filed for divorce. Bianca had an abortion a few months earlier for medical reasons. She believes getting pregnant again will save her marriage. As Cal is about to leave her, Bianca tells him that she is pregnant again. Bianca fakes the pregnancy, and when it is time for the imaginary baby to be born, she goes out to look for a baby to steal.
Disguised, Bianca shows up for an interview for the position of babysitter for Karen's children. When Karen's mother, Ruth, steps into another room, Bianca walks out with the baby. Bianca takes the child home and tells her husband that she went into labor, went to a local hospital, had the baby, and returned home, all in one day.
Karen realizes that Bianca is a suspect and decides that the best way to find her daughter is to appeal to the media and put out flyers.

Police arrive, arrest Bianca and Cal, and return the baby to its rightful home.
Twisted Desire (1996)

I love these.movies made before ca. 1997. The atmosohere and acting is really good. However there was only one thing to criticize is the last 20 minutes of the movie. That could have been much better. But all in all I give it a weak 7 out of 10.
