The most recent movie I've seen is the long-awaited adaption of X-Men, one of the most popular comic books ever created. It's directed by Bryan Singer, of the Usual Suspects and Apt Pupil fame. It stars Patrick Stewart as Professor Xavier, the owner of a special school for mutants. Mutants are genetically inhanced superhumans who have special powers that normal humans don't. Professor X takes in a mutant named Wolverine (played by newcomer Aussie, Hugh Jackman) who has a metal-laced skeleton that shoots razor-sharp claws out of his knuckles. He can also heal himself quickly. An evil mutant named Magneto wants a young mutant named Rogue who Wolverine is protecting. Rogue is played by Anna Paquin and can absorb others' life energy, including powers. There are other X-Men such as Cyclops (James Mardsen)who fires powerful optic blasts, Storm (Halle Berry) who can control weather, and Jean Grey (Famke Janssen) who has telepathic and telekinetic abilities and is also engaged to Cyclops. The other Evil Mutants are Sabertooth (Tyler Mane), a huge mutant with sharp claws and super strength and agility, Mystique (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos), a blue mutant who can shape-shift, and Toad (Ray Park), who has a superlong tongue, super agility, acidic slime and can stick to walls. Also causing trouble is Senator Kelly (Bruce Davidson) who wants all mutants to be kept track of.

Frankly, I think this movie rocked. It was face-paced and had great special effects and had a good solid story. Hugh Jackman was the star and he was terrific as Wolverine. Ian Mackellan was great as always, as the sympathetic villain who can control all metal. Storm and Cyclops were the least developed good guy characters, with all the bad guys except Magneto being way too under-developed. But you really don't mind because it's just so great to see Wolverine make smooth cracks at Cyclops all the time. See this movie, it is the only hope for comic book movies.......you won't be disappointed.

Evil Dead I, II, and III (Army of Darkness)are three of the greatest horror movies ever made. Directed by Sam Raimi, (of Darkman and A Simple Plan) these movies are cult favorites. The first movie, The Evil Dead, was a very small budgeted movie made in the woods by college chums Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell, with other minor cast members. It took place in a cabin that is attacked by dark forces, and the group of friends staying there are in peril. Some people are possessed, leaving the others to fight them off. Bruce Campbell's character, Ash, is of course the last to survive and the movie ends with him coming face to face with the evil in the woods. This movie became popular when Steven King gave it high critical acclaim, giving the young movie makers enough cash to develop a bigger, better sequel...

The sequel, Evil Dead II:Dead by Dawn, is actually a remake, except it has much more substance. In the first one, all that happens is a bunch of people become possessed and a lot of gorey, nausea-inducing things happen. In the sequel you actually care about the characters, well Ash mostly. This movie was 10 times more original than the first, with some classic moments. First of all, in one scene, Ash's hand becomes possessed by the evil, so naturally he chops it right off. But thats not the end of the hand, because Ash has to fight it first, and he does win, replacing his hand with a killer chainsaw. This movie definately has a huge difference compared to the first movie, because it has a lot more comedy. But not as much as the third one....

Army of Darkness is the third and final installment of the Evil Dead series. It almost totally gets rid of the gore aspect and adds more and more comedy. I thought it was wicked funny, but a lot of fans think it was too much of a departure from the originals. I liked all the one-liners and better special effects, though they were still really dated, even for 8 years ago. It was too bad that it didn't make any money, because now there won't be an Evil Dead 4, even if Sam Raimi is interested. Right now he's making the big screen adaption of Spider-Man, which should be great if the Evil Dead movies are any indication.

CaddyShack is a 1979 golf comedy directed by Harold Ramis (Ghostbusters) It follows the story of a caddy named Danny Noonan(Michael O'Keefe) who needs to get a caddying scholarship in order to go to college. He works at a golf course owned by the high strung Judge Smails (Ted Knight). Chevy Chase's character, Ty Webb, is a regular at the golf course, but refuses to keep score and play a game with Ted Knight's charcter. In the meanwhile, an obnoxious millionaire named Al Czervic played by Rodney Dangerfield, comes and wreaks havoc on the country club where the golf course is. This drives Judge Smails nuts, but he has other things on his mind. For one thing, Danny Noonan is sleeping with his niece, appropriately named "Lacey Underall" so he challenges him to a golf tournament so he can keep his scholarship. And last but not least, a crafty gopher is destroying the golf course, and the brilliant Bill Murray, as a dim-witted assistant groundskeeper named CArl Spackler who has to try and kill it.

This movie is classic. The team up of Bill Murray, Chevy Chase and Rodney Dangerfield is funny enough, but Ted Knight and the caddies make it great. It has some memorable scenes, such as the "Baby Ruth" scene in the swimming pool. This was a movie that could've been really bad but was made great by an incredible cast. I loved it and its one of my favorite comedies ever.

There ya go, you can leave now, there's nothing more to see
