Stan Helsing (2009)
Wow As Good as Meet The Spartans!!!!
You can easily compare this to the greats like Date Movie and Disaster Movie and everything by Aaron Seltzer! Bo Zenga is another addition to the "well it sounded good when we threw it around the idea table" club. Of course how can you expect much when one of his last pictures was the comedic gem Soul Plane. If your one of those people who hate that someone close to you drinks too much get back at them by playing the drinking game to this movie. It's simple the rules are you drink every time something funny actually happens in the film. This film is guaranteed to leave you sober. However i can't guarantee you both won't drink yourself silly to try and forget the movie you just watched.
Bottom Line folks, i wasted an hour and a half of my life so you won't have to.
No Man's Land: The Rise of Reeker (2008)
Bad Does'nt begin to sum it up.
The acting and direction of the film in the beginning was horrible. I watched the world premiere of Reeker when it came out when the director was there and to be honest i loved it. I thought it had a very unique and original ending. *spoilers ahead* Until i found out that it was a completed rip off of the movie Dead End. In the movie dead end a family goes on a road trip has a "near miss collision" and then they are stalked by a killer all to find out that they didn't have a near miss but had a head on collision and it was all a dream. Sound familiar reeker fans? This premise just like the whole They are the same person "twist ending" i.e. Fight club, hide and seek etc. where everyone has to steal it. Dead end, Reeker, The I Inside, Stay, and the Reeker 2 Even reekier all have the same exact ending and reeker does it the worst. Dead end was filled with gruesome kills and funny awkward moments making it enjoyable, The I Inside probably my favorite of the bunch cause it adds a little something extra to the ending, Stay because its a beautiful trippy direction that the film has. So save yourself the time and watch any of those titles over this one.
The Comedians of Comedy (2005)
Hilarious
This movie follows the lives of 5 comedians as they tour the U.S. They share comical stories about their stage experiences along with short scripted scenes that are outrageously funny. Zach Galifianakis is one of the funniest ones on here. I saw the premiere at south by southwest film festival and have to say that it is definitely the funniest movie there. If you get a chance to see this movie i insist that you do, it had the whole audience cracking up. I hope this gets a wide release but even if it isn't soon they are still touring, and so hopefully your able to catch their live act and hopefully you'll get to see Zach Galifianakis, who only is in a few of stand up's.
Deadroom (2005)
Interesting
Don't go into this movie just wanting to be entertained by a story. It isn't that type of movie. In this movie it follows four stories of 4 different people visiting the deceased for one reason or another. The stories are meant to be able to relate to you in someway so you can somehow dream like your fulfilling your wish to communicate with the dead to get a blessing, find out a philosophical riddle that's bugging you, tell somehow how much they really meant to you, and in some cases, make sure that the deceased is "getting what they deserve". Like i said if you just go to this movie wanting to watch a neat entertaining story, i suggest you see something else, but if you ever wanted to tell a deceased friend, family member, etc. something then you can come to this movie, put yourself into one of the characters and fulfill that fantasy through your imagination and the help of this delightfully original film.
Kontroll (2003)
wow!!!!!!!
This is such a great film from a first time director. This movie makes you fall in love with the character and actually care whats going on in his life. And they do this with great music, funny situations, and some fun action scenes. This is definitely a treat if you can find it somewhere. This is one of my favorite films that has been shown at south by southwest, it goes along side The Thing About my Folks, and Palindromes. I can't wait until this comes out to DVD in America, i am definitely going to buy this film. Overall i give it a 9.1 of 10. Don't mess out on a chance to watch this movie.

Drop Dead Sexy (2005)
Necromania!!!!!
This film is definitely not for the faint of heart because it goes into some necrophiliac moments. A few people walked out on the film because of the material, but it was all in good fun. Although Jason Lee and Crispin Glover couldn't make it to the premier it was still an experience i will remember. This movie has it's really laugh out loud moments and also it's really stupid pen dropping scenes. But overall, i enjoyed it, this is a treat for Crispin glover fans because he does such a great job with his character that his lines really heighten the comedy. To conclude this comment, i just have to say this one is probably more of a rental. I'm giving it a 6.4 of ten. Only because i love all Jason Lee movies.
My Suicidal Sweetheart (2005)
Fun With Suicide
This film was original in an unoriginal way. Although many movies have tackled the subject of suicide and mental institutions, it was always about treating the patients and making them better because of the doctor's assistance, in this film, however, we follow a depressed guy who falls in love with a suicidal girl and will stop at nothing to make her happy even though she doesn't care for happiness at all, she just wants to die. This was a very interestingly cute romance comedy that in nothing less than enjoyable. This is a fun one to check out if you ever get the chance, you just have to be open minded about the material. Overall i give it a 6.4, i just voted 9 to get the rating higher :)
