Leshock Value: "Adventureland" Movie Review!

Leshock value movie reviews

Hey there everybody. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to see "Fast and Furious," but I did catch the new Greg Mottola dramedy "Adventureland." There was just too much teen angst flowing in me to pass this one up. My review ran on CLTV News this morning, and I thought I'd share it with you here. Enjoy!

Leshock Value: "The Last House On The Left" Movie Review

Happy weekend everyone, or in case you plan on seeing "Last House On The Left" - Horrible, grief-stricken bloodlusty weekend everyone! Wes Craven's original 1972 film was shocking, appalling, mind-blowing, and just all kinds of blowing - why in the world would someone attempt to remake it? And could they succeed? My Leshock Value review.....

LeShock Value: "Twilight" Review!

Leshock value movie reviews

twilight%20trees.jpg

There were a few things I knew about Edward Cullen.

1. He was a vampire.

2. I was madly in love with him.

It doesn't take much for "Twilight's" Bella to make that leap. You know, the one where she finds out the love of her life sucks the blood out of living creatures - and decides to spend alone-time with him anyway? And despite being face to face with the vile nature of vampirism, she comes to the conclusion that it might be the way to go. Oh, the humanity!
