Easy A ...Dirty minds may think this misleading

This review is on Easy A. Before seeing this movie I had heard from a veriaty of sources that this was a good movie. Well...eh ok they were right this was a very funny movie. Emma stone plays kind of a quirky outcast in school who just wants to be noticed. In getting said popularity she pretends to sleep with numerious males for gift cards. Gift cards O.o ...right. Well upon recieving a fifty dollar gift card from said gentleman caller she shall either take them to a party or some kind of gathering and "have sex with them". Amanda Bynes whom should really stop playing highschool roles. I mean really your in your mid twentys if you can't get better roles or even be a comedian then stop, just stop. But back to Amanda Bynes plays this hyper religous girl that belongs to every club in school and has every intent on shoving her religion down everyones throats. My first thought was Mormon, but I was mistaken. I digress, her intent is to try and get Emma to see the wrong in her doings by ridiculing and publicly humiliating her. She was just shy of gathering a lynch mob I'd think. Oh well it all goes down hill when teachers get involved but I wont go into details. This movie was sidesplitting at some points, Emma did a very good job playing her role. I give it a 3 out of 4 I hope to see more promising work from her in the future.

Devil, going up please.

So this review is on Devil, directed by M. Night Shyamalan, but to save my fingers I shall just refer to him as M. Knight, or maybe just Knight? @.0...Anywho the movie Devil was...well kinda predictable, in some cases don't get me wrong it wasn't a bad movie in any sense. And for the most part it kept you guessing and on your toes, which is what the movie desperatly needed because the scary factor just wasn't there. And who knows maybe the aim wasn't met for scary rather than suspense. I did quite enjoy the slowly getting to know the people that were trapped in the elevator, and devulging their dark little secrets. There were a few parts that bugged me, I wont reveal anything for those who havn't seen it, and if you have you may know what I'm talking about. The thing that dissapointed me in this movie is that there was no twist! O.o What the hell Knight? I know your last few movies with "twists" were complete garbage but come on. I should have been releaved but the matter of fact was I was let down, I expected it, its his trademark, and the jerk did not deliver. ...Oh well it is definatly worth a one timer, would I buy it? Only if I had a real desperate need to increase the size of my movie collection. which I dont. I give it a 2 out of 4. Nice try M. M... M? What does M even stand for? >.< Try making Signs two or something...
