Ultimate Crimes - Stalkers Of The Innocent DVD

Advantages: something a little different to your normal teen thrillers.
Disadvantages: the creepy stalker...

...I had never heard of this film, and bought it on the off chance that it might be ok... I was pleasently suprised to find it keeping me gripped all the way through. The story revolves around Ben Cronin (Jesse Bradford), a popular guy in his school reknowned for his swimming. He has everything going for him - great friends, great girlfriend, and a sure fire college scholarship! Sounds good, until it is all completely turned upside down when he meets the new girl, Madison Bell (Erika Christensen) , who from the outset seems pretty innocent, if not a little 'kooky'...She casts him under her spell, which leads to a steamy hook up. When Ben decides after the night of passion that he wants to stay with his girlfriend, Amy (Shiri Appleby), and forget the incident with Madison, she goes completely of the rails, and becomes his stalker.

Advantages: very funny
Disadvantages: watching the trailer before the film

...I heard and read so many different reviews on Scary Movie That it made me want to watch it even more to cast my view on it. To begin, I am a fan of the horror/teen slasher films of the nineties and thoroughly enjoyed watching the Scream triology and the two I Know films.

Advantages: great story, fine performance from denzel
Disadvantages: none

...The Hurricane was a heart-wrenching movie that touches your soul. Academy Award winner Denzel Washington plays Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, a man who, in the prime of his boxing career finds himself wrongfully convicted of murder. Sentenced to life in prison, Carter's published memoirs, "The Sixteenth Round", inspired a teenager from Brooklyn and three Canadian activists who believed in the truth, to join forces with Carter to prove his innocence. Their extraordinary efforts ultimately secure his release, leaving "Hurricane" to sum up his 20 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit by simply stating, "Hate got me into this place, love got me out." Don't miss the movie Rolling Stone called, "A stirring fight for freedom! Denzel Washington at his powerful, poignant best!" I can't say much that the above didn't except, its a must see...
