Do Not Miss This Great Family Movie!

Neighbors (I) (2014)

An Awful Sex Movie .

[1/10 · 27 April 2014]

If you are looking for a great comedy movie,this film is certainly not for you. It is an awful R-rated movie with sex and without comedy. It will remind you of Jackass because you will see graphic nudity (sexual intercourse between a man and a woman,a man was forced to suck a dildo,people reveal their butts and throw fire works by means of their butts). Honestly,I did not find this movie worth watching at all,because it lacks 90 % of comedy and it tries to tempt the audience to see it through cheesy and explicit sex. Take my advice and save your money and time and see a better movie. Do not believe the hyperbolic rating!. Neighbors(2014) is an awful sex movie that disguises as a comedy movie.

Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 (2004)

One of the best funniest movies.

[10/10 · 21 February 2011]

I don't know why most people are so bigoted and prejudiced about a great funny movie like Baby Geniuses.I never forced anyone to speak positively about a movie they detest but to tell the truth to underestimate a family movie with a great actress like Kathleen Turner in it is quite unfair!. The babies in both movies part 1 and 2 are so cuddly,cute,funny and intelligent. All The incidents of the movie were so natural,realistic and far from superficiality.There was no exaggeration whatsoever. The acting was fantastic.Who would ever imagine seeing babies that are barely 3 years old act so perfectly ?. My vote was fair in giving this masterpiece movie 10/10.

I already bought The DVD and dying to see the 3rd part of Baby Geniuses.

The Antichrist (1974)

A Great Horror movie for mature viewers only.

[10/10 · 13 December 2010]

A scary 1974 movie with shocking horror scenes that might offend most Christians. These horrific scenes helped to serve the movie.There is exploitation of women as in most Italian Horror movies.It Should Be Rated NC-17 for some explicit content and unseen rare violence. In 1974, it was really rare to see such shocking scenes.For this reason, it was previously banned in many countries.The ban made people more zealous to see and buy this movie out of curiosity. Honestly,it is more horrible and shocking than the Exorcist, but quite as good as the Exorcist.Recommended for those who are 17 years old or above this age. I advise people to buy the DVD and enjoy this great horror movie,especially horror fans who will not regret purchasing this movie. As for religious Christian people,some scenes might shock you,so you got to beware!. For people who can not watch this movie,all you have to do is search for this movie free on line,this is a substitute.You could download it too. Good luck!
