Scream 2 Scream 2 R
Just as much fun as the first with a great story and the same tongue in cheek humor that made the first so enjoyable.
Great characters protrayed by some great acting from the cast. Arquette, Campbell, Cox, O'Connell, Kennedy, and Olyphant all do a fantastic job of living up to the first one.
Like I said the story is just as good as the humor and thrills continue on in this sequel as they poke fun at the horror genre (and themselves) while experiencing it. Though don't get me wrong, it's not all laughs. The funny stuff just comes from clever writing and the film should in no way be looked at as a comedy. There are some great serious moments and some great suspense moments all mixed into the movie revolving around characters you care about. Which is a big thing for me, cause in a horror movie if I don't care about the character's survival then what's the point in watching?
Yet again it wasen't overly scary for me, but it was a bit more suspenseful then the first. The entertainment value is still there though.
Craven masterfully brings Williamson's clever story to life and creates a sequel that is worth watching time and time again. Even if it's just for the great scene with O'Connell singing.

"Empire Strikes Back. Better story, improved effects."
"Not a sequel, part of a trilogy, completely planned."
"I like the little furry things."
"Ewoks? They blow."
Scream Scream R
A great, smart slasher movie that I can watch time and time again.
Excellent story that has some great tongue in cheek humor and never takes itself too seriously. Filled with great characters (which is a must have for me in any horror/slasher/thriller movie) and great actors too protray them. Lillard, Kennedy, Ulrich, Arquette, Barrymore, McGowan, Cox, and Campbell are all superb in their roles though they do border on cheesy sometimes, but the movie is good enough to look past it.
I love the Williamson's story that mixed clever writing, that any movie fan can appreciate, with some laughs and good twists and turns towards the end. Don't expect this movie to be a comedy though and don't take it too seriously either because it's somewhere in the middle. I also never really found the movie to be really scary at all, but it has a lot of entertainment value.
It's my favorite "scary" movie that I recommend to everyone and is worth the watch for some good scares and a few laughs too.

"There are certain RULES that one must abide by in order to successfully survive a horror movie. For instance, number one: you can never have sex. BIG NO NO! BIG NO NO! Sex equals death, okay? Number two: you can never drink or do drugs. The sin factor! It's a sin. It's an extension of number one. And number three: never, ever, ever under any circumstances say, "I'll be right back." Because you won't be back."
"I'm gettin' another beer, you want one?"
"Yeah, sure."
"I'll be right back!"

James' Favorite Movies


King Kong King Kong PG-13
Once again Jackson has given us another film loaded witha great story and characters. Still if you don't like long movies then you probably won't fine this one entrancing enough, but it's still action packed right when it starts slowing down. Amazing special effects and the T-Rex scene is amazing!
The Breakfast Club The Breakfast Club R
This is one of my favorite and one of the perfect movies. It's funny, has a lot of heart, great acting, cool story, everything! It's just a great movie. Acting is wondeful by Nelson, Gleeson, and Sheedy, everyone else isgood too, their just not my favorite characters. The scene where their all sitting in a circle and talking about everything and yet nothing is the best. Everyone captures their characters so well at those moments and you see what amazing acting they all have. John Hughs story and direction are perfect and thisstands as being his best film in my opinoin. This is just a movie that I'm able to watch over and over again and highly recommend it to everyone. "Well, well. Here we are. You have exactly eight hours and fifty-four minutes to think about why you're here. You may not talk, you will not move from these seats. Any questions?" "Yeah. Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?"
