Doom (The Movie)

I have heard that Doom the Movie is based on a previous Doom the Video game. And was produced after a Doom the Book. I have watched Doom and think it was interesting how they made it by basing it on the game. (Despite not have played the game.) However I read a few reviews on the game and saw a few pictures. I might play it some time, when I have nothing better to be doing. I have noticed that depending on the version of Doom you watch, depends on what they say BFG stands for, weather it is Bio Force Weapon or something with a bit more language that I will not repeat on this blog. Very, very few people from the original amount of people are left alive at the very end. It's always like that in the shows I watch. It's a movie where they should have stayed together and they would have lasted longer, instead of being picked off one by one till there was almost nobody left. If I had to pick a favorite character I would have to say Gunnery Sergeant Asher Mahonin, mostly because he was the one who used the BFG weapon. Also, because he was one of the people who was involved in the climatic end fight scene.

The wonderful remake of Halloween I and II

A poster from Halloween.

Another poster, only from II
Halloween I and II were two of the best remakes I have ever seen. They were both absolute masterpieces. After Halloween I, I was thinking "That was one of the best remakes ever, however it'll probably not get a sequel like other movies." Thankfully I was wrong and two years later the same producer made Halloween II. Personally, I think they would have come out nicely had they been in 3-D. With all the violence, murder, shooting ect how could it not? Coincidentally, the director's name fits right in with the movie he was producing. [(Being a horror movie (His name being Rob Zombie.)] Also, his wife (Sheri Moon Zombie) is in it, so it fits in well. Micheal Myers is threat that keeps coming back time after time after time again, that's something that I like about him. He has been hit with several shots multiple
times, burnt, electrocuted, and thought decapitated. Something I really appreciated about the remake of Halloween I is the extra background information it gives, compared to the original Halloween I which gave a minimal amount. At this point they probably (and I could be wrong again) won't remake Halloween III, IV, V, VI, VII, or VIII. It's a shame really, I can only imagine how good they would have come out. Though I suppose they weren't that bad, just could have been filmed better with better technology. I was very pleased when I read in the paper that Halloween I (remake) was doing well and was popular, and I was glad that the reviews agreed with my opinions on the movie. Two years later, I couldn't believe it when I heard that Halloween II (remake) was going so poorly in the polls.  Halloween I and II are both worth rewatching unlike certain other horror movies.

Prowl

Prowl was one of those movies that I saw as soon as it came out. I'll start at a good place to start, scene 1. I don't really get what it has anything to do with the rest of the movie. Maybe I missed something, I'll have to rewatch it... When I say the first scene, I mean the scene with her running through a field, then running through a forest and all that.The ending, was a heck of a way to end it though. I found that rather interesting and amusing. However, I feel like a portion of the movie had nothing happening. The second half there was plenty of action and things like I wanted but... The first bit was uneventful. It wouldn't be the first movie on my list to rewatch.

My personal review on Jennifer's Body.

This is the poster for the movie I'm giving a review on, Jennifer's Body. I went and saw (saw as in watched, not Saw the movie) this movie in 2009. On September 19 I believe. First off, something that caught my attention about this movie is that it takes place in a school and I'm in college, so yeah given similar places comparing the movie and me it caught my attention. I liked in the trailer how her friend tells her (astonishingly) "Your killing people!" and she replies "No. I'm killing boys." She claims to find such a difference and yet later goes to kill her friend (who is a girl).
Because it's a horror film, it only makes sense the way it ends, in two ways actually. Both of which were some of my favorite parts. One, the main character gets killed in the end which doesn't generally happen, even in horror movies. This gives me the feeling that when watching it you don't know who will survive instead of automatically knowing that the main character will some how survive like in other movies (like Prowl). Second, is how nearing the end of the movie the friend (Needy) escapes from the asylum and does her own share of slaughtering. It is, in fact, a movie I would recommend to other people who watch horror movies.
