  1. I could only vote for 4 cause I either hadn't seen any of the two movies, or the decision was just too hard to make.

    1. Pulp Fiction vs One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

    2. Psycho vs 12 Angry Men

    3. Godfather vs Silence Of The Lambs

    4. Raiders Of The Lost Ark vs Citizen Kane

    5. Empire Strikes Back vs City Of God

    6. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly vs Seven Samurai

    7. Shawshank Redemption vs Fight Club

    8. Godfather II vs Schindler's List

  2. Fantastic Four - Rise of the Silver Surfer: 4/10

    Bad movie, though I was expecting I would give it more like 2 or 3/10. The movie is really bland and uninteresting. Acting is mediocre at best, I didn't care for any of the characters (except Sue, I really like Jessica Alba). And the movie loses a full point for turning Galactacus into a cloud.

  3. My favorite PSP games are Burnout Legends, Lumines, Daxter, Work Time Fun and LocoRoco. Though there are a lot of good games to choose from.

    If you like RPGs, Valkyrie Profile is probably your best bet until Final Fantasy is released.

  4. Pulp Fiction vs Rear Window

    City Of God vs Sunset Blvd.

    Group B:

    Casablanca vs Seven Samurai

    Psycho vs Lawrence Of Arabia

    Group C:

    Godfather vs Star Wars

    Goodfellas vs Fight Club

    Group D:

    Schindler's List vs Raiders Of The Lost Ark

    Once Upon A Time In The West vs Amelie

    Group E:

    Empire Strikes Back vs One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest

    Usual Suspects vs Memento

    Group F:

    The Good, The Bad and The Ugly vs 12 Angry Men

    North By Northwest vs Two Towers

    Group G:

    Shawshank Redemption vs Return Of The King

    Doctor Strangelove vs Silence Of The Lambs

    Group H:

    Godfather II vs Fellowship Of The Ring

    Citizen Kane vs It's A Wonderful Life

  5. Sgt. Pepper's is probably my 2nd favorite Beatles album (just behind Revolver), and would rank among my top 10 favorite albums.

    "With a little help from my friends" to me is the standout song. The ultimate "cheer up" song.

    How can you not love The Beatles? They became the greatest band in the world by singing cheesy 2 minute love songs. That's genius.

  6. Spider-Man 3: 7/10

    After a barely decent Shrek 3 and got-awful Pirates 3, I was very hesitant about watching this movie. Though I can say it's easily the best of the 3 big sequels of '07. Though is still a disappointment when compared to Spider-Man (8/10) and Spider-Man 2 (9/10).

    I pretty much agree with the critics in that they gave little time to develop the 3 villains. And neither villain did I care too much about. And I never cared for Venom. He was style only, and lacked personality.

    I felt Topher Grace did a great job as Eddie Brock. Watching him in Spidy 3 made me realize that he would have made a great Peter Parker. Better than Tobey Maguire, anyway.

    The whole "dark Peter" (or "emo Peter") scenes I found just hilarious. Whether it was intentional or not, I don't care. It was entertaining.

    Overall, a fairly good movie. 3rd best movie of 2007 I've seen thus far (behind 300 and Grindhouse). Though 2007 has disappointed me so far. I hope it picks up in the last 7 months.

  8. ZiggyStardust.jpg

    The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars: 10/10

    This album really took me by surprise. I had no idea I'd like Davie Bowie. When I was younger, I didn't care too much about him. All songs are pretty amazing, with my favorites being "Moonage Daydream", "Starman", and "Ziggy Stardust".

    TheDoorsTheDoorsalbumcover.jpg

    The Doors: 9/10

    More reason to love psychedelic rock. My favorite songs on the album are "Break On Through", "Soul Kitchen", "Light My Fire", and "The End".

    Prettiesforyou.jpg

    Alice Cooper - Pretties For You: 8/10

    A very good album, though not what I was expecting musically. I was expecting (and hoping for) more hard rock/glam rock.

  10. For the last year, I've been hooked on rock music of the 60's/70's. Mainly Zeppelin, Floyd, Queen, Beatles, Dylan, and The Who.

    Judging from the bands/artists I just mentioned what are some bands/artists of the 60's/70's you'd think I'd like? I was thinking of giving David Bowie a try, but want to know some recommendations from you first.

  11. Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End: 3/10

    I loved Curse of the Black Pearl (8/10). Dead Man's Chest I originally loved but after a second viewing I realized it wasn't that great and I was disappointed (6/10). I went into "At World's End" with very low expectations, and it was still a lot worse then I was expecting.

    The characters...I just don't know what happened there. Jack, Will, Elizabeth, Barbosa, I loved these characters in the original. I hated them in this. I did not enjoy any character in this entire movie (not even Jack Sparrow, which is a travesty as I love Johnny Depp and all his roles).

    The plot...I tried to get into it. I just couldn't. The film tried way too hard to tell many stories at once. By the 100 minute mark, I just didn't care anymore and wanted the movie to end.

    The movie wasn't all bad though. Visually, it was superb. And the acting was pretty good. Though still the worst film of 2007 I've seen thus far.

  12. I love 'Mortal Kombat'. I know I'm being biased, but I just can't give it anything lower than 8/10.

    Another guilty pleasure of mine is Friday The 13th and other B-horror movies. Most people will say they were awful movies though entertaining. Movies like FT13 1-4, Nightmare on Elm Street 1-2, Evil Dead 1, I consider to be very good movies.

    I also love the animated movie "Street Fighter Alpha". I know it got mixed reactions, and a lot of people prefer Street Fighter II: The Animated movie. But I consider SF:Alpha to be the best videogame-to-film adaptation.

    "Clue" is another guilty pleasure. One of my all time favorutie comedy movies. I rank it among Clerks, Holy Grail, and Dr. Strangelove.

    And who doesn't love Jack Frost? (the horror, not that terrible family movie)
