The kid had rhythm.
The kid has musical* talent.
The kid can dance.
The kid earned it.
The kid is an entertainer.
As long as he stays humble, I got no beef with him.
*just to clarify, I mean that he can play instruments.
*My personal opinions* on any movie that I have watched.

Scream 4
2011 - 1/5
Plot:
The 4th installment of the Scream series takes place 10 years after the third one, and the promise here is “New decade, new rules”. That sounded intriguing, but other than references to today’s society (ie, social networking, other movies), not much had been added to the overall storyline; which I was okay with considering I liked the first one, and the second and third were okay.
Right off the bat, the first 10 minutes were funny and the dialogue was pretty clever.
Some parts of the movie were predictable, and you knew what was going to happen. I have to admit that I didn’t figure out who the killers were, but I knew there would be 2. After about an hour, the movie got worse and worse, and once it was revealed who the killers were, the reasoning also came out. This was the biggest let down of the entire movie. I guess one can try to make an argument that it’s making a statement about today’s society and what we value, but I think that’s complete and utter bullshit. It was just the worst reason ever!
Acting:
I felt as if they added too many new characters, but then again, you knew it was because the majority of them would die. I was somewhat surprised that the actors/actresses in this movie kind of looked like high school kids (compared to other movies).
Other than the 3 characters from the original movie, I only knew of Hayden P, McCauly Culkin’s little brother, and the 2 guy cops (speaking of which, I couldn’t help but notice that it didn’t seem as if they were wearing bullet proof vests underneath their shirts; although I get that they got stabbed and not shot, I still think that was a bit off).
The acting was mediocre at best. Pretty much what I was expecting from a scary movie.
Script:
Like I said earlier, the first 10 minutes of the movie did have a good script; the rest was okay.
The only line I really liked throughout the entire movie was the following, and I do think Wes Craven should have taken this advice.
Sidney: You forgot the first rule of remakes – don’t fuck with the original.
Overall:
I would not recommend this to anyone. I felt as if after the 1-hour mark, the storyline started to erode, and by the end, nothing was salvageable.

Scary Movie - Scary Movie 2 - Scary Movie 3 - Scary Movie 4
When it comes to the Scary Movie’s you know what to expect – either you’re going to like them, or you’re not.
I'll say right now that my favourite part of every movie was the script. I feel as if I can probably post several lines or conversations for each movie, however, I've decided to limit it to my absolute favourite from each.
2000 – 2.7/5
I really don’t think any other spoof movie has been as good as any of the Scary Movies. It has a lot of adult humor. Not only does it make fun of other movies, it incorporates current events.
There was a good mix of characters. It’s obvious that they’re supposed to be stupid otherwise it wouldn’t be a spoof.
I think that the best part of all the Scary Movie’s was the script; it was funny and very clever.
Buffy: Oh my god, we hit a boot.
Greg: Where’s the foot?
2001 - 2.9/5
I have to say that I like this one more than the first. I liked the storyline more, and like the first, the script was solid. It had the same set of characters as the first one, and again, they all did a good job. The butler (Hanson) was creepy; his hand was even creepier!
Hanson: My germs!
2003 - 3.1/5
Out of all the Scary Movie’s this one is my favourite. Up until 50 minutes, it was REALLY good, but once the President was introduced, it wasn’t as funny.
I feel as if these movies hold nothing back; they will practically say anything! There were a few times in which I thought "did they really just go there?".
I absolutely LOVED the very first scene with Becca and Kate (Pam Anderson and Jenny McCarthy).
George: I gotta dream.
Tom: What is your dream.
George: To have a dream.
George: Would, could, should, 'hood.
Brenda: I just got a weird feeling something bad is headed my way; like when you see an Asian person behind the wheel of a car.
Brenda: Cindy, the TV is leaking.
George: Now everybody in the 202, throw your hands in the air 'cause Fat Joe is through / Now everybody in the 202, throw 'em up! Check it out / I'm a white boy, but my neck is red / I put Miracle Whip on my Wonder Bread / My face is pale, nah, I've never been in jail / Me and Buffy spend every winter at Vail / How many bitches have I slapped? Zero. Unh! / And Martha Stewart happens to be my hero / I grew up on a farm and I was born with no rhythm / Dr. Phil's my uncle and I like to hang with him / I can't dance / I wear khaki pants / My middle name's Lance / My Grandma's from France / So maybe I'm wack / 'Cause my skin ain't black / But you can't talk smack / 'Cause whitey just struck back.
2006 - 2.6/5
I thought it was pretty good, but once the spoof of War of Worlds started, it went downhill from there.
The conversation between the Japanese Ghost Boy and Cindy was hilarious! Cindy speaks “Japanese” very well.
Cindy: Hello?
Cindy: "Harro?" ---Hello
Cindy: "Hibachi, Benihana, Teriyaki" ---Do You Live Here?
Ghost Boy: "Nagasaki, Okinawa, Hokkaido, Yokohama" --- Your Japanese is Awful. It dishonors my ears
Cindy: "Karate, Judo, Sumo, Samurai" --- Are You a Ghost?
Ghost Boy: "Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi, Subaru" ---Yes. I was Killed and my soul walks the earth!
Cindy: "Hari-kiri, Tsunami, Kamikaze, Banzai" --- How Sad. My Life is also Tragic.
Ghost Boy: "Yamaha, Nikon, Casio, Aiwa" --- You Mistake me For Someone who gives a Shit.
Ghost Boy: "Minolta, Hitachi, Seiko, Toshiba" --- I Know the secret of defeating the aliens.
Cindy: "Buddha! Shitake Kimono!" --- My God! Tell Me!
Ghost Boy: "Tempura, Shushi, Sashimi!" --- The Answer is within my father's heart! Follow the blood!
