Just incredable! If you like movies like The Godfather or Goodfellas and combine it with somewhat of a saw feel, and combine that with a Batman movie, what do you get? The Dark Knight and you better believe that this is defently the best movie of the year so far, most likely wont be beaten though

Wow, this was a really good movie and I'm really happy to see that because it seemed like all the good movies that were coming out this year were comix book movies and all the other movies are sucking out, but this is an exception from that. The Midnight Meat Train is really brutal, but overall to my surprise, it seemed a little like a tribute to Dario Argento in the way that the lighting was done, there was lots of art shown, really unique camera angles were used, and the supernatural was even featured. Not to mention that this movie really keeps you locked in with the characters which makes this a scary movie. The acting and direction was really well executed as well as everything else. Most people complain about the ending ruining the movie and how much the ending sucked, but really I think it was perfect for this movie because it shows that the guy before had done the exact same thing that our main character did and we finally reallize that the Subway Killer was actually a regular person once and when the ending takes place, we discover that its all a vicious cycle that our main character gets caught in with no excape from it. The train setting was also something I loved because in most horror movies, the characters have places to run and places to hide, but on the train, theres no where they can run or hide and I think that was also a big factor in why this movie really worked. Overall a must see movie this year! It is really graphic so don't see it if your not a fan of gore. One of the best of the year and was barley seen in theatres. Should of had a much bigger theater showing. I would have rether seen this in theatres than a lot of the other crap I've seen this year. Ohh and did I mention that that Ted Raimi makes an appearence in this movie which caught me of guard, but me being a die hard Sam Raimi fan, I was really delighted to see him in a horror flick again. GO SEE THIS NOW!

"You've been surved" one of the most intoxicating, halarious, action packed, different movies of the year and this is defently one of 08's best. Its not up to Superbad's level, but this is awesome and defently one of Judd Apatow's best films. Tied for Apatow's second best film Knocked up, so you know this is good. Check it out!

Much better than I had anticipated. Great cast, good plot, and overall halarious while still sticking by the original's ways. Ohh and did I mention Anna Hatheway and that dress that she wears at the party. OHH MOMMA, so hot, I'll be warm for weeks. But overally great fun with many halarious moments and a big surprise for me.

One of the years best and even better than the original Hellboy! Its funnier, more action packed, contains a better story, is more imaginative, the effects are great, and overall makes you really happy you saw it unlike many other sequals. You have to see this. Toro's magic still reigns! Ohh and did I mention that the eye candy in this movie really added to the movie too. Lie one critic said, " One of the most imaginative action films in years".

A really good movie. The games with the group of people wasn't really interesting or needed at all, but thats the only weak point of this movie. Besides that, some of the best acting in the entre Saw series is shown here. Also there are lots of holes that are filled that mainly date back through the first three Saw movies which make the movie interesting. Overall see this movie if your a fan of the other Saw movies. It might be the most timid out of the Saw movies, but with great performances as well as more mystery and overall keeping you really interested in the story, you will really enjoy this one. Its still gory as some parts, buts its no Saw III. The ending wasn`t fantastic either, but it was unpredictible and was mainly a movie to show the behind scenes of the new Jigsaw and just a small bridge that connects to the sixth and final film which I expect will go off with a bang and could be one of the best in the series now that there is more options for the story to go with, expecially with Jigsaw`s ex wife and the items in the box that we don`t get to see but I imagine we will see them in the sixth and it will add to the big bang that will end the series. Great movie, some parts are squemish, but again this film is constructed to be a small bridge to the next film and it is the most timid of the series, but contains great background detail and a good story to keep you watching. Looking forward to Saw VI in 09!

Surprisingly a good film. I was totally incaptured with this movie. There were many things I loved about this movie. First off, it was really cool not only to see a monster movie(Which I haven't seen in a long time) but somewhat of a realistic view towards it. It never explains the origin of the monster or how it got there and I hear a lot of complaints of how they don't explain anything about where the monster came from and they don't explain anything about the plot so your lost the whole time. My response to the second part of this is: were you even watching the movie? I mean its clear as day as to whats going on, a monster is attacking a city, they try to evacuate, the army tries to fight the monster off, and they overall try to survive. My response to the first part of this is that the whole reason they left out the origin of the monster is to make it more mysterious and mainly much scarier so you don't know what is going on just like the characters don't and therefore you are forced to relate to these characters and are thrown into the movie with them. As for the people who also said that the decisions were not realistic and a real person would have done something different, cut the horseshit, because you know you would have done the exact same things that the characters did in the movie or something like it. Now I know what your thinking," I would go towards danger to save some girl that your not even with", and that was actually one of the things that I loved about this film too! The fact that within all the chaos,terror, danger, and destruction that was in the way, he doesn't care and realizes that his brother is right and that he's incomplete without her and dispite that shes better than you and your not better than her, you both love each other and you shouldn't ruin it, so the entire movie, he tries to get to her. So basically most people don't notice, but this movie really is a love story with ascience fiction horror coading to add to the story and keep your eyes locked. The acting was fair, but what would you expect from a movie with actors weve never seen before and also this movie wasn't intended to be an oscar nominated film. Overall a great movie that shouldn't be missed, its really effective, delivers scares, great direction and effects, and has a wonderful love story that you wouldn't usually see in a movie like this. Go see it dispite what the other half are saying. Also, at the end of the credits, put on your thinking caps and try to figure out what the secret message is that is said when the credits end, if you liked this movie, youll love what it is.

This film was actually pretty funny and good which I wasn't expecting at all. Also it has Colin Farrell's return in his best role so far with also Ralph Fiennes appearing which I was happy to see because I think he's an extraordinary actor, and I haven't seen him around in a while. Some of you might be wondering why my rating wasn't higher than four out of five, but quite honestly, i watched it really late when it I had worked thirteen hours that day, so I probably didn't get an entire grasp of the movie and with a second watch, this will probably go higher. One of 08's best though.

One of the goriest movies of all time, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't get a high recommendation. In fact the story was great, and it also was a lot like a grindhouse type of a film that had cheap effects on purpose to pay tribute to some older movie classics such as The Evil Dead and Dead Alive. However like I said at the beginning, the movie is extremly graphic so if you don't like lots of gore, people being torn apart, nails to the face, and other gore, than this is defently not a film for you and you literally won't make it past a minute in this movie. However if you don't mind gore or enjoy it with a good story and Japanese culture with a grindhouse/Evil Dead meets Kill Bill meets Dead Alive flare, this is a must see. Get ready for a bloodbath!

A good surprise. Its a non intense drama with lots of twists and turns that are only usually found amongst suspense or high adrenaline movies. also the movie is really comedic with a few good morals everyone should abide by dispite tough surprises in relationships. Defently check this one out. It defently wasn't amazing, but its better than it looks and the critics were defently wrong on this one.

The much better version of school of rock being that it doesn't bore us and end off with a performance, it focuses on the tour. But thats only a small part of why its much better than School of Rock. Forst off, the story is way better, its a lot funnier, more interesting, the songs are much better, and so on so forth. You should check this one out, it is indeed a good watch. Its no Superbad, buts its good.

I caught the evening showing of this movie and to my surprise, the theatre was packed even at night time. when I though about it though, the original was halarious and attracted people of all ages even adults, so it really wasn't surprising after I thought about it. This film is just about as good as the original because its weaker in some points, but stronger in others. The story in this one I thought was weaker than the original because in the original movie, we really get to know the characters and end up travelling far away from home and I guess the story of the original was just a little more exciting. This story is good too, just not quite as good as the original. In this we get to see more of the Lion's background of when he was little and how he ended up in New York. The comedy was still fresh in this one in may ways. They gave the people who had smaller roles in the first one like The Grandma and King Julian and other characters and gave them a bigger oart in the movie which overall made the movie really funny. Everyone else was really funny expecially the Penguins even before the movie starts where they take out the Dreamworks kid, I thought that was truly genius and Halarious! This one has a bit of a love story in the middle of it as well, but overall, its defently a good sequal that almost lives up to the original. Defently see it for a great laugh and a good story. Ice age 3 will probably be better though, but who knows, well wait and see.

It might not be as amazing as The Dark Knight, or as fantastic as Iron Man, but it still packs some punches and gives us an overall good movie. Defently worth checking out for the action sequences and good acting and effects. Plus another Stan Lee Cameo and another Cameo at the end which was amazing. Overall a good watch that is much better that Ang Lee's original.
