Welcome the the CLM and Lovol Movie Reviews thread! Since we are both such avid fans of movies, we felt it'd be fun to give our own reviews to NGU users. We know there are sites such as Rotten Tomatoes that do the same, but in all honestly, professional critics are built to hate almost every movie. We wanted to give each movie a more open minded approach for the average movie goer.

ClutchLikeMelo:
Though the story isn't too deep, it's ultimately a comedy with the sexy Cameron Diaz. Lots of gags and laughs to be had!

In this awesome comedy starring Cameron Diaz, you'll be falling off your chair laughing. With drugs, sex, and vulgar language, Diaz plays a perfect teacher.

ClutchLikeMelo:
I always tend to get attracted to horror movies that are based on historic events. That was a mistake in this case. Loads of predictable moments and they really give the viewers no glimpse of hope. A shame too, this movie had potential.

Lovol:
To begin with, I'm not such a fan of horror movies as it is. For a horror movie to be good for me, it needs a plot that you can actually stick to and be excited when something happens/is about to happens; sadly to say, this movie lacked that.

A gangster movie with a hint of Johnny Depp, and a 3 cups of Al Pacino. All star performances make this movie as great as it is.

ClutchLikeMelo:
This movie can be described with one adjective; bizarre. Besides great acting from Rainn Wilson and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Hesher lacked a point and had a plot that was all over the place. It's a bipolar ride filled with profanity and random happenings.

Kindergarten Cop was a mix of comedy, action, suspense and Arnold Schwarzenegger. In what seemed like a farfetched concept, the movie pulled it off and keeps you well entertained.

Lovol:
In this totally Schwarzenegger-like, comedic action story of a film, you also get some nail-biting suspense. If you like child-based comedy, you'll find yourself enjoying in what seems to be one of Schwarzenegger's funniest pieces.

ClutchLikeMelo:
An action packed thriller with lots of suspense, horror, and twists. Thought provoking too in the sense that one day people, governments, and armies might be fighting for an immortal type power. Make sure to pay good attention, as the characters can get a bit confusing.

Lovol:
In this rather short, but action packed movie about all of our Call of Duty Nazi Zombies fantasies; the fight for power is an impeccable display of a movie. With turn-overs after turn-overs, you better toggle your head on to know who's good and who's bad.

ClutchLikeMelo:
James Bond mixed with Jackie Chan and John McClane. Liam Neeson plays the role of a bad ass, retired CIA agent on the quest to find his daughter. Though it gets predictable, it's worth an hour and a half of your time

Lovol:
It's honestly not odd at all that Liam Neeson plays a badass. Completely met my expectations for him, likewise any movies he stars in; nonetheless, this movie goes down in the books for one of the best in it's genre.

ClutchLikeMelo:
The first half of this movie really entertained me with its plot development and oppressed scenario. The second half dragged on and on and each fight seemed to be recycles of the previous fight. Though there were some storyline flaws, cliches, and many predicatable scenes; it's ultimately a Schwarzenegger movie that keeps you entertained.

Lovol:
Throughout the entire movie, there were constant fingernail-biting, action packed scenes that had you hanging at the edge of your seat. In due time, through progression of the movie, early-movie anticipations came true in a gradual decrease of action with a bit of comedic dialogue.
