5ive Girls


So throw in some bad acting, dried-up premise, even worse dialog, a little lesbianage, and a clear need for some star power (insert Ron Perlman), you have 5ive Girls. I think they were trying to go for a mix of The Craft, the catholic school girl stereotype, and satanic sacrifices for the love of family... Wierd, but fun to watch. The evil pentegram was EVERYWHERE in this film, if you knew where to look, and the girls all had "powers" Alex who was the main character,played by Jennifer Miller, was the telekenetic, Mara played by Jordan Madley was the healer, Cecillia played by Terra Vnesa (who I LOVE she's so cute) was the seer, Leah who was played by Barbara Marmabolo was the girl who could walk through things, and Connie, played by Tasha May, was the conduit. The 5ive girls were shipped to a boarding school becasue they were "Unwanted" but ultimatly offered up as sacrifices to bring back a girl in the school that had been kidnapped by Legion, the 2,000 evil demons haunting the catholic school. The cheesy, nostalgic, and B-Grade film was a fun watch, but only as a "Girls that kick ass" movie night, but only as the appetizer, not the main event. 2/5 Stars.

10 Things I Hate About You


A late '90's teen whine fest about dating, school, and so not cool sisters, like cha! This film is filled with cute one-liners, hot hunks, rich prisses, and even whinnier girl-power music. This cute, sunshine-and-rainbows film has the talents of the late Heath Ledger as the hero hunk with Australian accent to boot, Julia Stiles as the ever hating heroine, Joseph-Gordon Levitt as the prissy pre-frat-boy, Larisa Oleynik as the adorable little sister (or at least she thinks she is), and Andrew Keegan as the love-stricken new kid at Stadium High School. Based off of Shakespeare's "The Taming Of The Shrew" , I don't think this is exactly what he had in mind when he wrote it... 2.1/2 /5 Stars
