Pretty good, an exorcism movie with a twist, not such stellar acting to be found anywhere, even on the part of Sir Anthony Hopkins. All in all, just another movie about demonic possession.

I like the story here but feel that the documentary style did it no justice. It starts out as fully blown doco on South Central LA life for South American teens, and turns into a sex-filled story about boys and skate boards, that never really goes anywhere. Liked it but was overall disappointed.

Excellent film, the scenario is believable although idealistic as sometimes a gay couple can still not live in as much societal harmony as portrayed in this film. Great acting by Benning and Moore with what seemed like a real love between them. Great storyline, Ruffalo's character becomes annoying after a while, script could have lightened up on the "yeah man's" and "what are you into's?"

I hated this movie. The accents are ridiculous and the whole concept is frankly lame. This movie goes on forever and never seems to accomplish anything.

Probably a little too theatrical for my tastes, but a well put together and decently acted movie that gives a good look into the minds of teenagers when faced with peer pressure. A movie that is still highly relevant today.

A great piece of AusCom for the ages. Storyline is a little all over the place, and Sam Neill does a great job, even in his younger days. Zoe Carides was another stand out, and I honestly think she would have been great if she had've continued with her career. Quite a few famous Aussie face pop up so keep and eye out for those, and it was quite surreal to see places I grew up in being broadcast into my living room! Great watch!

Songs, costumes and singing was all amazing. The contrast between the characters and the multiple story lines was a brilliant touch to a story that already had so much to offer.

Made in 1922, this silent movie is one of the first horror movies ever made and I would imagine, for 1922 audiences, this would have been an incredibly scary movie. Loosely based on Bram Stoker's Dracula, the story follows an estate agents assistant who is sent to Transylvania to negotiate the sale of a house in a sleepy German town to Count Orlock, who is quite taken by the assistants wife.
A must see for any cinema buff.

Starts out as a halfway decent docu-horror movie, and is set BEFORE the original Paranormal Activity. If you have not seen the first one, don't bother even attempting to understand this one.
Paranormal Activity 2 has a good story line and provides all the thrills you could need for a night at home with a sub-par horror movie. It is stock standard in every sense of the word.
