It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Wrestlemania 23 was indeed a strong Wrestlemania. It show case what Wrestlemania is suppose to be. It contain some of the most amazing matches in wrestling history as well as good entertainment. They call Wrestlemania the show case of the immortals and this Wrestlemania actually shows it 1.Randy Orton vs Edge vs Mr.Kennedy vs CM PUNK vs King Booker vs Finlay vs Matt Hardy Vs Jeff Hardy Money in the bank Ladder Match. Now this was a strong opening match and it thrills the fans from start to finish and it gave us a lot of high spots that you would have to watch again Rating: 8 out of 102.Kane vs The Great Khali. This match was pretty much a bored mess and more of a excuse to get a drink because this match is not worth your timeRating: 2 out of 103.MVP: Montel Vontavious Porter vs Chris Benoit for the WWE United States Championship.Watching this match you see what a real match is suppose to be MVP's entrance was pretty cool as he came out with Cheerleaders for his gimmick and both men gave us a well thought out fightRating: 8 out of 104.The Undertaker vs Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship This is my personal favorite match of the night since The Undertaker is my favorite wrestler. Batista can work a good match if given the right opponent. They gave us a heck of a match and thrill us having us on the edge of our seats thinking that Batista had the Undertaker right where he wanted him and The Undertaker show why he's the Phenom of the WWE This is just a excellent wrestling match and you got to clap for both men after a battle they hadRating: 9 out of 105.The ECW Originals (Rob Van Dam, Tommy Dreamer, Sabu, and The Sandman) vs The New Breed (Elijah Burke,Marcus Cor Von, Matt Striker, and Kevin Thorn with Ariel) This feud was between the legends of ECW against the New Breed honestly this match was up against the last match consider how drain the fans were after the title match so honest this match just was decent at bestRating: 7 out of 106. Bobby Lashley (with Donald Trump) vs Umaga (with Mr.McMahon and Armando Alejandro Estrada) Hair Vs Hair Battle of the Billionaires with Stone Cold Steve Austin as Special Guest Referee. This was a good match overall plus it was funny what happened to the one who got his head shaved of their hair but I will leave that mystery to you. It just a entertaining match and have some good moments tooRating: 9 out of 107.Ashley vs Melina Lumberjill Match for the WWE Women's Championship now this match was just for show looking back on it but it was nice to see all the Divas out thereRating: 4 out of 108. John Cena vs Shawn Michaels for the WWE Championship. John Cena's entrance with the Ford Mustang since they were in the Ford Field that night was really cool and he crash right into glass to enter the arenaAnd the interesting thing about this match they were the World Tag Team Champions going into it. Never the less they work a very good main event that awarded the fans who brought tickets and order it on Pay Per View and the climax of the match is pretty insaneRating: 8 out of 10Overall this Wrestlemania was pretty good it was full of thrills and feature many legends it just shows that this is how you are suppose to have a wrestling show I give WWE Wrestlemania 23 an 9 out of 10

This was one of the worst Wrestlemania's I've seen. It just didn't stand out at all, really. Card wise, I thought it was going to be pretty good, but every match just seemed to fall short.Chris Benoit vs. MVP One of the better matches. Benoit carried it. I just didn't think MVP was that great, but Benoit saved this match. Kane vs. Khali Wow, these two guys don't mix. Or maybe it's Khali and any other person alive don't mix. Awful match.Melina vs. Ashley I'm not a fan of female wrestling.ECW Originals vs. New Breed I was excited about this match, until I saw it. Really, Really disappointing.Edge vs. CM Punk vs. King Booker vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy vs. Mr. Kennedy vs. Finlay vs. Randy Orton Absolutely the worst MITB match so far. Just a major let down, to many people in the ring at the same time. It just didn't live up.Bobby Lashley vs. Umaga O.K. not extremely impressive, but not the worst of the night.Batista vs. Undertaker This was maybe the best match of the night. Very, very, very nice to see something good for a change. John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels I really feel like this match deserved to be last. People make a case for Batista vs. Undertaker, but this match was just as good. I am starting to get sick of seeing Cena win every match though. It's getting a little old. Now, I have to say, I feel this match is the best of the night, but I'm a huge Shawn Michaels fan, so I'm a little biased. Batista vs. 'Taker may have been better, but I'm biased, so...sorry. The last two were undoubtedly the best matches of the night and most everything else really came up short.

All the main matches lived up to the hype and then some. MITB3 was outstanding. Including Hardy's leg drop from the ladder putting Edge through the table. Taker/Batista was great as well. Finally, Batista showed and performed better than the average "roid head" he is. Hair vs. Hair was also good. Thanks for adding the "Coast to Coast" by Shane O' Mac, it made the match that much better. And finally, HBK/Cena had some excellent bumps in their match including the pile driver on to the steps by HBK which busted Cena wide open. Overall 8 out 10, right up there with WM17 and WM22, two of the highest rated WMs on this site. As for the under cards: Beniot/MVP 5 out 10; Khali/Kane 1 out 10 (Wrestlecrap.com here we come!); Lumberjill match 3 out 10; ECW match 4 out 10 (kinda stunk); Pre-wrestlemania tag-team lumberjack match- 5 out of 10 (only because of the Nature Boy! WOOOOOOOOOOO!)
