the perfect witness and mr and mrs smith

I just finished watching the movie 'The perfect witness, the ungodly' on the netflix website...
It was released in 2007 or 2008 and the people at wikipedia haven't even heard about it so I am going to have to tell you about this great movie instead of just posting a link to the wikipedia page of the movie like I normally do.
Its a horror movie and there is some nudity, drug use, a rape scene, and of course violense.
This guy, who it turns out is a former drug addict, is amaeture video person who starts tracking a killer so he can do a movie on him and then just by dumb luck he actually catches the killer in the act and video tapes it.
The killer catches him and chases him down the street but doesn't catch the guy.
The guy that is trying to make the movie is named Mickey.
So Mickey then trys to blackmail the killer into doing interviews for his movie, and the killer goes along with it until he captures Mickey's mom.
From there Mickey gets into trouble...
I don't want to give away too much of the movie because I think it is actually worth watching so I give the movie a score of 90 out of 100.

I really liked the movie 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith'.
But I didn't like it as much as I liked The perfect witness so I give the dvd of Mr and Mrs Smith a score of 80 out 100.
Now that I think about maybe there is a second dvd for the Mr and Mrs Smith movie, in which case I would have to change the score.
The movie its self is really good for an action movie.
I have seen Brad Pitt's movies before so I know that he is a talented actor, but I think this is the first time I have seen Angelina Jolie in a movie...
I was really surprised by her acting skill.
But on the other hand this was an action movie.

01/05/2010...I first wrote this awhile ago for and for some reason I didn't publish it right away.
The movie 'The Perfect Witness' was a really good movie and I would recommend it if you like suspense/horror movies, but I would like to change my opinion about the Mr and Mrs Smith movie.
I don't remember how much extras were available on the Mr and Mrs Smith dvd but I do remember that there was at least two commentary tracks that went along with it and I think I only watched one of the commentary tracks, or maybe I watched all of them...I don't really remember.
But now that I have seen some other movies since then I would rank Mr and Mrs Smith lower than what I first ranked it, maybe 75 or 70 out of 100.
Keep in mind also that the movie 'The Perfect Witness' was just the movie without any extras because I watched it on the previously mentioned website.

everything is illuminated

Last night I watched the movie 'Everything is Illuminated' on the netflix website.

I am really curious to see what kind of extra stuff they have on the dvd, so after I view the dvd you can look forward to my review of the dvd.

I really liked the movie so I give it a score of 90 out of 100.
Here is a link to a wikipedia entry regarding the movie:

walk the line

Last week I finished watching that Johnny Cash movie that came out awhile ago.
I liked the movie, it was entertaining but the movie seemed to centered on Johnny Cash's love affair with June Carter and his drug addiction.
I don't know for sure but I would like to think that there was more to the man in black than just that.
I mean, he was around during some very turbulent times and the movie pretty much ignores those times.
Anyways, I watched the movie all the way through without the commentary and then I also watched the movie with the commentary but I only got half way through because I became bored.
I liked the movie but there just wasn't enough interesting extras on the dvd so I give the dvd a score of 75 out of 100.

Quarantine

I just finished watching the movie Quarantine on the netflix website.
I don't think it was really the scariest movie I have ever seen but it was really entertaining.
I watched the movie because I didn't get a chance to watch any scary movies on saturday which was Halloween night.
I give the movie Quarantine a score of 80 out of 100 because I thought it was a really good movie.
Here is a wikipedia entry about the movie:

Blood Diamond

I just finished watching the movie 'Blood Diamond'. I thought it was a really good movie and it came on two different dvd's. The first dvd had the movie and a commentary on the movie and the second dvd had documentaries about what it took to make the movie. I think this is Leonardo di Caprio's most recently movie, and I think he was very convincing. Like I said before, I thought it was a really good movie, but part of me feels that there could of been more two the second dvd. I mean if your going to package it as a two dvd set then I kind of would of expected there to be a lot more, but I feel that both dvd's are worth the time so I give the two dvd set of the movie 'Blood Diamond' a score of 90 out of 100.

The Shield

I have finished watching the second season of The Shield.
I have also finished watching the third season of Lost.
I also watched the movie Cold Prey.

The second season of The Shield I watched on dvds from netflix and I really liked it. I think the first season I rated as 100 out of 100, but I think this season was really good like the first season but I am only giving it a rating of 90. A rating of 90 is still really good...The reason why I think I rated the first season so high was because this was the first real edgey cop show that I have watched...I liked it because it was new.

I have been watching Lost on the netflix website for almost a month now and I really like it. I haven't seen the dvd's for Lost yet so I don't know what extra stuff is included but if I were to rate Lost up to the end of the third season then I would say that it is really really good and I give it a score of 100 out of 100. Lost could of been better on a cable channel because then they could of shown nudity and sex, but none the less Lost is a really great show to watch.

I also watched the movie Cold Prey on the the netflix website. It was a really good horror movie. I think its a Swedish movie and you can tell that its a foreign film, or at least foreign to me, because its dubbed in English. When the actors talk you hear english but it looks like the actors weren't talking in english. The dubbing though is done really well so that part of it doesn't hurt the movie at all. Anyways, I give Cold Prey a score of 90 out of 100.
I'm sorry its actually a Norwegian movie.
The Norwegian title of the movie is Fritt Vilt which literally means Open Season.
Below I posted a link to website with more information about the movie.

There's also Cold Prey 2 which I haven't seen because it hasn't been released internationally, but I looked it up in wikipedia.

Dead Girl

I just finished watching the movie Dead Girl, that I rented from netflix.
I guess you can kind of say that it is a zombie movie and I rate it 75 out of 100.
If you're into the zombie/horror movie thing then I would recommend that you watch this movie, but if your not into that sort of stuff then this movie really isn't for you.
