Jun 27, 2011Drag Me to Hell is a perfect example of why CRITICS know what the hell (pun intended) they're talking about. This is one of those rare instances where the critics are the ones who praise a film (I mean, holy crap ... this film has like a 96% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes) while the general public completely pans it. Guess what? After seeing this film, I can definitely say without a shadow of a doubt that all of the critics are absolutely, 100% correct. This is easily one of the greatest horror-thrillers of all time, the scariest horror-thriller of all time, and by far the most well-directed horror-thriller of all time. It's amazing how many people claimed that this film wasn't "scary" at all, when in fact they were probably wetting their damn pants everytime something popped out out of nowhere after the misdirection/suspenseful build-up that happens throughout the entire movie. Cheap? Maybe. Does it work? Absolutely. This film now ties with The Mist as being my two favorite horror-thrillers of all time. A great example of why critics are the only ones who should be making any comments about anything. Critics and myself, one of the few people who aren't a bunch of stupid morons who wouldn't know "good" from "bad" if their damn soul depended on it (another intended pun). Nearly ten major critics (from Entertainment Weekly to the Washington Post) gave this film a PERFECT score. Personally, I wouldn't give it higher than a 90/100 or a 9.0 out of 10 ... but it really sickens me to read what many of the movie-goers have said about this film. All those comments have done is prove just how stupid most people really are. The critics have it ... everyone else, kindly STFU
It's interesting how a lot of people (and I don't just mean on here) claim that this film wasn't the least bit scary ... and then they turn right around and admit that there were plenty of "jump scares" (which I guess is the term people are using) throughout. Okay ... so if suspenseful music/tension and misdirection leading to an inevitable, shocking "scare" isn't what "scary" is, then I'd really like to know what IS.
Of all of the horror thrillers I've seen in the last decade or so (1408, The Mist, The Others, Skeleton Key, The Descent, The Ring, 28 Weeks Later, Hills Have Eyes, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, House of Wax, etc., (too many more to name ... those are just off the top of my head)), Drag Me to Hell is BY FAR the scariest. If this film doesn't qualify as being "scary," then I really don't know what else in the entire damn world would qualify as such, because every single one of those other movies I just named (and pretty much every horror film ever, especially slasher-types) watch like the Care Bears movie compared to Drag Me to Hell.
Honestly, do people even THINK before they post reviews on sites like IMDB and Metacritic?
Yes, the movie IS full of cheap, "misdirect and then jump out at you" shock-scares ... that's what SCARY IS!
Of course, as with all horror thrillers, how "scary" it happens to be really depends on how, where, and when you watch it. For instance, if you watched this film with other people around during the daytime ... or even in a movie theater surrounded by other people, then it probably wouldn't come off that scary at all. I, on the other hand, watched this film by myself, in a dark room, in the middle of the night. Big difference. I actually considered closing my eyes at one point, but then I realized that the scares would have been even worse, as the loud, out-of-nowhere SOUNDS in this film are half the scare. At least with my eyes open I could see the nasty, crusty, hag of an old woman pop out out of nowhere and be expecting the loud-ass shriek that accompanies it.
It's one thing to NOT like the film, but to actually say that this movie wasn't scary is just plain ridiculous and stems from pure bias and spite. Because I can think of no other horror thriller in the last decade or two that even compares in terms of sheer fright and tension. If Drag Me to Hell isn't scary, then nothing in the world of cinema is. I pretty much cringed for the entire 100 minutes.
And yeah, there are still people who classify this as part "comedy," but until Sam Raimi himself openly says that (which he has NOT), I call bull. The fact of the matter is, a "comedic" horror film would be quite obvious in its tone and atmosphere. I've seen "comedic" horror films before, and this watches nothing like those. This was a film that took its plot very seriously,where exactly did it say "spoof" or "parody" to you? Drag Me to Hell was tense and unnerving the entire time. If you laughed during this, then that's something to get checked out. Because there was nothing even remotely funny about this movie. Disgusting, shocking, and terrifying? Yes.
Bottomline is, most horror thrillers slightly entertain but do not end up impressing me much. This one shocked me to the core.… Expand
Nov 22, 2010This is probably one of the scariest best directed and produced horror film in years. Sam Raimi has finally directed something worth seeing over and over again. The characters are so developed, intense scenes that I will never forget, and just pure fun. That description I can't say for many horror movies and it might not have been the scariest, but I give props for a developed story that wasn't cheesy, and Lorna Raver playing the evil Mrs. Ganush. It was a smart horror movie; that is uncommon for the horror genre.… Expand
Sep 19, 2011The movie tried to make it look itself as "Evil Dead"; With poor CG and weak character development, Sam Raimi's "Drag me to Hell" is a movie way cheesier than that.
Aug 13, 2010Drag Me To Hell is one of my favourite horrors. Well, it is partially a comedy, too, but it can get pretty scary at times.
I just love the fact that it's not the usual stupid horror: full of gore and nothing behind it. Drag Me To Hell has a compelling and very interesting story, some good acting and it just a straight-out good film. Definitely high entertainment value and I'd recommend anyone who likes good horrors to watch it. Yes, it is funny sometimes, but what's wrong with that? Can't a horror be also funny?! Definitely a great surprise of a film!… Expand
Apr 1, 2013Raimi has made the most crazy, fun, and terrifying horror movie in years. its the most amazing horror movie you will see! the cast leads stellar perfomances in their roles.
Apr 5, 2013como solo raimi lo sabe hacer crea otra pelicula de horror con tintes de comedio la cual no importa de q angulo la mires siempre dara resultado este es un gran regreso por parte de raimi al genero delterror
May 14, 2013Perfect mix! Its scary but also so funny, you can't take this serious.
So don't expect too much and you will be surprised!
Every second of this movie is great!
Nov 29, 2010This movie was advertised as a scary jump out of your seat horror movie. I feel bad for those of you that wanted to o see another jumpy crappy predictable horror film, but for anyone who is a true fan of film and are familiar with Raimi's earlier works (the Evil Dead series in particular) then you should have expected what you got. To me this movie was great it had moments where it scared you but it also had moments that made me cry from laughing. Guys it's supposed to be cheesy, that's his style and I find Drag Me to Hell to be the most original horror film in some time. The only reason I gave it a 9 instead of a 10 was because of the false advertising.… Expand
Sep 26, 2010I will give this movie and the positive reviews the benefit of the doubt and assume it was much better in theatres. However, I watched it on HBO and it was frustratingly bad. The dialogue was superficial, seemingly written just to string together the story in between the screaming and supernatural events throughout. From the moment the the old women appears on screen in that trying-too-hard-to-be-creepy garb, I predicted that she was going to curse the main character. Everything that happens to the main character after that is just confusing and random. Many of the disturbances that plague the main character are, of course, not pleasant, you would not want them to happen to you. BUT finding a scarf in your throat and having to pull it out is not that terrifying. This and many other similar things happen just as fillers.
The pace is ridiculous. The beginning is slow and drawn out yet it fails to establish an eerie vibe or build any suspense. When the random disturbances really start, they are almost non-stop until right before the ending. It is such overkill.
The CGI effects are too cheap and unrealistic to be scary but not obviously cheesy enough to be funny. Whether it was meant to be funny/ cheesy or realistic/ scary, it did not look intentional. The girl is being taunted by a cartoon shadow. Seriously.
The characters were total idiots with no substance. There is some random back story for the main character thrown in, more as a side note, toward the middle of the movie but it is irrelevant because that information is never really brought up again. She goes from young soft-spoken girl in business attire to flighty and confused to screeching one liners like "That's yours **** and I don't believe any of it. The boyfriend character is just there to react to the girl's changing behavior by brushing it off until he finally sees something himself and is proven wrong. Again, very original. I could go on and on. Seriously, it was insulting.… Expand
Apr 6, 2011I saw this movie in theaters when it came out so my memory is a bit rusty... But after seeing the high score this got i have to call BS... first off the Gypsy woman put a curse on her... after not 1... not 2 but 3 house extensions and curses the girl in the film because she can't pay for her damn house and its the one time the girl decides to deny someone on a loan.... seriously this movie was down right horrible and deserves about a 4... it wasn't scary and was barely even funny just a poorly written story… Expand
Aug 17, 2012drag me to hell is a movie who have seen and understand raimi movies because his style is just not like any other.his movies reach such acclaim because they try to make a point on the current status of the horror genre and he makes light of it. his best example of this is the evil dead 2. it delivers an amount of cheese that reminds me of his older movies. this movie is intentionally all cheese
Aug 23, 2012This movie is an incredible thrill ride. There are small laughs planted between and within the grand scares. Some dialogue is intentionally grin-inducing, and also some scares, too. The cheesy CGI isn't a con, because it perfectly fits in with the craziness of the film. Even all of that can't water down how truly terrifying this movie can be, though.
It's campy, fun, and theatrical. A movie to watch with a group, because you'll all be laughing and freaking out and having a good time. But be warned: when the credits roll, you won't exactly feel good. The movie is haunting.… Expand
Jun 2, 2012It's scary, shocking, and excellently made. I felt a different type of fear while watching this. It's not your typical monster or possesion fright-fest. With the exception of a few CG effects, everything works rather well and really creates a sense of dread and suspense. One of the better horror movies I've seen in a while. You might not want to watch it alone, or before going to bed.
Nov 5, 2010This f*****g movie is full of s**t i hate it, it's disgusting, I usually like horror movies but this one goes to far, it's awful, i have never given a movie this bad a review.

Aug 10, 2011This is undoubtedly the best horror movie of the decade. I really was surprised when I read so many good reviews because I was absolutely convinced it would be the kind horror fans would praise but critics taunt... it was just the reverse. This shocked me. If you really appreciate horror movies, it's completely impossible this being a letdown.
Jan 12, 2014A mediocre movie that pulls all of the same strings of bad, churned out American horror movies.
After seeing this movie featured on several lists of top horror movies, I figured this might be the next 'The Orphan' on a trend to change my mind about Hollywood and horror.
Instead what I got was cliches about 'foreign occult", mediums that for some reason, speak in Spanish, endless hot and cold moments trying to build suspense before breaking off into nothing, and of course, the flat, "twist" ending, which was predictable to me (always check the most important things twice, especially when they're wrapped up).
I'm more surprised by the positive ratings that this mediocre flick has received, though this may owe itself in no small part to the gradual slip of this industry, which thankfully I have missed.… Expand
Sep 2, 2014A very clever horror movie from Spider-Man director Sam Raimi.
Oct 28, 2010This movie seems kinda like a mocking spin on the traditional horror movies we are use to in this day and age. The parts that were meant to be scary were scary with a little twist of humour. It was very entertaining and didn't feel like a complete waste of my time. So if you want a slightly cheesy, scary, and kinda funny horror movie pick this up.
Nov 3, 2010Drag me to Hell is certainly a mixed movie. I went in expecting a horror movie and was greatly disappointed however what I watched was an incredibly hilarious, gory and downright stupid movie. It's not bad in any way, it was just marketed as a true horror. Drag me to Hell is actually a B horror movie, those movies that try to scare you but are so bad their good. It was a original, funny, had those "jump" moments that would scare and tension. In the end it was brilliant, I think the reason it had so many bad reviews is because people see it as a normal horror movie, and not a "B Horror" movie.
It's a watch.… Expand
May 26, 2011This is the best horror flick I have seen in a while, and that is saying something, since I hardly watch horror at all (I get scared REALLY easily). A ton of moments made me go "eww" and "O_O", and those are reactions you are supposed to get in a good horror movie. Also, I was TOTALLY not expecting the ending.
Oct 16, 2011I cannot understand why people didn't like this film. Ok, it is kind of trash but "Drag me to Hell" is overall entertaining and filled with something that current horror films are missing: a good script
Jan 17, 2012It's a bad movie. Not in a good Sam Raimi way either. It is just boring and not serious scary or funny scary. It's an hour and 39 minutes long but feels a good 40 minutes longer. Alison Lohman, Justin Long, Sam Raimi and a crazy old gypsy woman....how did this go wrong.
Aug 25, 2012This is a hilarious film which is also scary in the right places. Sam Raimi knows what he is doing in the horror genre and I am glad that the film doesn't take itself too seriously. It has a clever plot with a slightly predictable twist but all in all everything works in Drag Me to Hell.
Aug 14, 2013How can any reasonable human being give this movie a good rating? I abhorred every second of Drag Me to Hell and despite admitting that it wasn't badly made in terms of set design, cinematography, or editing, for example, it suffers from a director who can't seem to decide if he wants to make a parody on horror movies or an actual horror movie and ends up making one of the hugest pieces of in recent years (I could, in fact, re-use all of these words when writing a review for The Cabin in the Woods, another outrageously overrated rubbish). Limiting himself to a PG-13 rating, Raimi at least spares the audience more atrociously surrealistic CGI gore effects, but the 3rd highest as well as lowest of MPAA classifications still leaves space for idiotic dialogs, shameless copying from other horror flicks, and blatant predictability. I'm not saying that I wasn't frightened by parts of it, yet for most of the time, I was offended and disgusted by this ghastly made movie. Critics that call it ironic or even hilarious just have to be paid by Universal Pictures since there is no other valid explanation for entitling a movie 'ironic' when it obviously isn't aware of how stupid it is. And now don't come to me with "it's only for the purpose of entertainment" besides all of that it's still a dull and dreary movie that is laden with tons of clichés. Drag Me to Hell? Drag me out of the cinema!… Expand
Dec 26, 2012Definitely not a bad movie. Its more funny than scary. The acting isnt too good but that doesnt take away from the movie entirely.
They couldve added a little more though, some scenes feel kinda empty.
Overall, a pretty good movie. Funny, slightly smart, and scary.
Jul 28, 2014Funny and scary, well sam raimi is back to his roots. If you are looking for a typical horror ,you would be disappointed but if you like the 80s horror/ comedy then This is definitely for you . The film reminded me of my position in a bank and I had to make similar decisions so I both disagree and sympathise Christine's situation. Lorna Raver is absolutely great as Mrs Ganush and the fight between Christine and Mrs Ganush is priceless.… Expand
Sep 11, 2014A thrilling ride with superb special effects and solid acting, Raimi outdid himself with this movie.
Sep 11, 2014One of Raimi's best horror movies and the movie mixes comedy and horror equally.
Sep 20, 2014Drag me to hell has cutting edge special effects, chills and comedy all blended to make a great movie.
Aug 19, 2010Bank worker eyes Assistant Manager promotion, old woman comes in bank & begs not to be evicted, computer says no, old woman puts curse on bank worker, gets harebrained & farcical.
Sam Raimi with his usual mix of comedy/horror but definitely without the charm that the Evil Dead films had.
Cliched characters & plot, twist that you can see coming & ends up being more annoying than fun.
The goat was pretty cool though.… Expand
May 6, 2011This movie was full of unnecessary gross scenes. Scary, no. Will it make you jump? Yes. Overall it was okay, I finished watching it. But the plot was not very original and very predictable. I would not recommended this movie to anyone. I don't know if i saw the same movie as the critics...

Wow - I cant believe people actually liked this awful excuse for a film. It makes me want to scream when characters act ridiculously to events that befall them. Spoiler Alert: Like Lohman's character the day after being viciously gummed and stabbing an old lady in the neck... "Maybe I should have given her an extension on that loan..." WHAT??? You stabbed an old witch in the neck!!!! Are you kidding me? The writers should have listen to this trash on continuous playback for all eternity. I can't imagine a worse hell.… Expand

The opening scene was bad, and usually, a movie doesn't get any better after that. The whole premise is fairly ridiculous to start out with. The main character obviously is a good person, why would she be cursed ? She had no control over the situation the old woman was in, and she was not responsible. The entire film is filled with senseless dialogue and actions that don't make any sense. It could be a comedy, a bad one, something like 'Revenge of the repossessed homeowner'...… Expand
Jul 22, 2011Kinda weird in my case to rate a negative score to a positive movie, anyway, expecting something scary isn't the right thing in here. Drag me too hell is stupid, and idiotically funny, i felt that it wasn't taking the main theme seriously, while it does some creepy sound effects, it isn't entertaining or tense as other Horror movies.
May 24, 2012An average film that has weird acting, disturbing scenes, crazy demons, great plot and some scary moments.....
Jan 4, 2013Drag Me to Hell is a fun, campy and silly film, but it seems that laughs seem to be more important than scares in this film and is often predictable at times. Overall, Raimi's long-awaited return to horror may be entertaining but it lacks horror and provides a laughs rather than scares.
Nov 30, 2011i cant believe this is critic acclaimed !!!first of all flying handkerchief ,possessed guy dancing around the table,talking goat,and so called cheap gross COMEDY is seriously not scary,waste of time and the lamest movie i've ever seen ever.this is the worst acclaimed movie ..they even call the ending a surprise and seriously just spell the movie and just be done with it.the only surprise and scary is how the rating is so high.… Expand
Mar 18, 2012I saw this movie when it came out, I expected it to be some what scary but i laughed at the parts where it was suppose to be scary. The things in this movie are just dumb. I watched this movie with a friend of mine at night at laughed the entire movie. The acting is bad, the lines are cheesy,and the plot is even more dumb. At one part she's getting attacked and for some reason she has an anvil tied to a string above the spot where her attacker is, and just happens to have an ice skate next to the rope. The end is the worst part of all.… Expand
Feb 25, 2012I truly love horror movies. I love many of them, The Shining, Paranormal Activity, Saw, The Sixth Sense, Signs, Silence of the Lambs, ALL instant classics. When I heard about Drag Me To Hell I was super excited, rarely is there a horror movie with such great reviews. When I finally watched it, I was disappointed to say the least. This movie is so ridiculously over rated and not scary it hurt me to watch. I am baffled at how reviewers can speak so highly of it. It's truly one of the worst films I've ever seen, no part of it was good, the plot was mediocre, the 'intense' scenes weren't even mildly enjoyable, and the ending was abominable. As I read the other positive reviews I feel as if the reviewers and I watched two different films. Do yourself a favor and avoid this movie at all costs unless you are extremely easily scared, or you just want something to make fun of for 90 minutes.… Expand
Mar 23, 2012This movie was so disgustingly bad that I had to create an account just to express the hate that grew throughout the movie. After reading what other critic said about this movie I had gained somewhat high expectations, what was left of them drowned in the useless **** ending that any 3 year old could have guessed from watching 3 seconds of that ****
I feel that this movie raped my life - I want my time back.… Expand
Aug 19, 2012This movie was quiet weird. It started off okay but in the final half and hour i don't know what happened. The movie went from high standard to worse than a syfy movie. The main character is completely unrealistic in her response to what is going on. Drag me to hell is complete crap and the movie made me wishing i was being dragged to hell while watching this so called horror film.
Aug 27, 2012I am truely in disarray at what the critics thought was so great about this film. It was the furthest thing from scary, and the so called funny moments where unrecognizable. Boring and pretty stupid overall.
Mar 18, 2013This movie could only scare me if I was 5 years old, and they would force me to watch this movie in a forest at midnight. The problem is that I am an adult, thus this movie just stinks to me. Bad story, no tension etc... Avoid it...
May 25, 2013I gave up on this movie 1 hour in.. Horribly boring and predictable movie. Really one of the worst movies i have ever seen. Not a single scary moment, just a ridiculous amount of pathetic attempts.. And really? A goat that yells out Really?... :S This movie is pure crap. The lead actress was not convincing at all. I want my hour back...
Feb 9, 2013I cant believe that anyone could rate it more than 3 but it seems that critics watch it from other dimensions this is one of worst movie that I ever see and it make worse that it 's from one of my favorite directors

Jul 23, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I give it a 1 because the old woman without dentures french kissing the protagonist and, why not, sharing large amounts of corporal liquids while at it, is legitimately horrifying.
Beside that, the film it's just awful. Every character it's a prick. The protagonist seems almost human, until she goes and slice her little kitten in a lame attempt to stop her curse. Despite that, she seems outraged when the mediums gets ready to do the same to a random goat.
Then what else we got... conveniently hanging anvils, Kalinka dancing possessed mediums, and dying old hags with a terminator stamina and a liking for young blond chicks mouth rape. And in all this, I couldn't tell if this was supposed to be funny, scary, or both, and maybe this is the biggest fault of this movie.
Then, an envelope containing the crucial item for the protagonist survival gets lost in a bunch of random papers, and when she finds it she doesn't check if it's actually the right envelope... I wonder what this will lead to.
Really, one of the most awful film I've ever seen.… Expand
Jul 23, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Drag Me to Hell: 4 out of 10: Great another movie that achieved universal critical acclaim that I did not enjoy. Oh make matters worse it is a horror film (which almost never achieves universal acclaim and which I love) and is by director Sam Raimi whom I genuinely enjoy.
Drag me to Hell is all about gypsy curses. In the tradition of the superior Thinner and Buffy the Vampire Slayer our heroine Alison Lohman is a bank manager who turns down a third extension on an old gypsy's house mortgage causing her to lose the home.. (Lohman is eyeing a promotion and her boss told her to be tough) The Gypsy in question attacks Lohman (in the films best scene) and then places a curse on her. She has three days to get rid of the curse or she will literally be dragged to hell.
In those three days, the demon in question will torment Lohman, so far so good. Then the movie falls of the rails. Lohman does something so horrific and unnecessary to get rid of the curse she becomes a Black Hat extraordinaire. Now a twist like that certainly can work if the film acknowledges it, but Raimi keeps his cards too close to the vest.
It quickly comes apparent that Lohman, despite acting as a younger, blonder, more innocent Kirsten Dunst, is the most evil thing in the film. The film simply does not really pull this switcheroo off or may not even realize it on some level.
The main fault lies with the lead performance of Alison Lohman who seems to skip through the movie with one confused expression, another confused expression and a decent scream. Raimi knows his buttons too well and fixates on violating the chaste Loman's mouth with flies, maggots, blood, fists, entire arms, and in the most disgusting thing ever; an old ladies mouth without her dentures.
Loman cannot pull off a fun evil so instead she is more the brain-dead banal evil. This is a role that requires a Linda Ferrentino style touch. I simply do not think Loman had the chops for the role.
The films tone is strange as well. Many scenes are clearly tongue in cheek (a giant anvil held by a rope for instance) but others are so horrific (The aforementioned horrible act that shall not be named) that it takes one out of the story.
The rest of the cast is decent with Justin Long giving a particularly strong performance as the really nice guy with the evil girlfriend from hell. (Well going to hell... you know what I mean.) Long is best known as the Apple guy and the film keeps sticking him in front of Apple product placements handicapping his effectiveness.
There is also some strangely bad CGI in the mix. While Raimi really knows how to push the gross-out buttons and the jump scares, he would have been better off with some old school effects.
Overall I am beyond disappointed. Nevertheless, I guess once again I will be that guy who didn't like the film everyone else loved. It is "Rushmore" all over again.… Expand
Oct 13, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Holy crap, this one surprised me! I don't think a horror comedy has worked so well since... well, ever. This movie was as funny as it was scary and disgusting, and it truly felt like what I'd expect from a Raimi film. The acting was great, the cinematography was so crisp and nice to look at. The story was also pretty disturbing and creepy. I also liked how it poked fun at a few horror cliches like the bleeding nose thing. The ending, though, was so shocking and unexpected. I'm glad it wasn't another Hollywood ending where everything is alright because I love huge twists like that! I really loved this movie. I jumped and laughed and cringed too many times to count. I haven't had this much fun watching a movie in a long time.… Expand
Sep 24, 2014One of the best horror movies of 2009, very clever and eerily effective.
Sep 24, 2014This movie has the perfect blend of intense horror and comedy. Sam Raimi made a wild thrill ride.
Sep 24, 2014A horror movie made in the vein of classic 80's horror movies like Fright Night, The Shining, Child's Play,
Christine, and A Nightmare On Elm Street. $
Sep 24, 2014One of my favourite horror movies of all time with great comic relief as well.
Thrilling and often hilarious, it's good to see one of Hollywood's most inventive directors fully reinvigorated. On this form, Spider-Man 4 should be a belter.
The picture is single-mindedly devoted to pushing the audience's buttons, and who better than Raimi to do the honors?
Raimi's still very much up to his old tricks, retaining that deliriously over-the-top brand of Grand Guignol horror that he had abandoned by the mid-'90s in pursuit of other genres.

Re: STUTTGART 2013: Aint no backseat in my Porsche!
Petra was awful today with 11 winners and 31 UFEs compared to Li's 22 winners and 28 UFEs. Li did get a little tight in the second losing a 5-2 lead before closing it out 7-5. But it was a pretty easy win as I expected.
Now Li gets practically a walkover to the final, with Mattek Sands as her semi opponent. She really hasn't broken a sweat yet and has to be considered the massive favorite to win this tournament now.
I really don't want Maria to lose to Li again. Not just because of what happened in Melbourne but also because I don't want back to back finals losses for Maria. After her 3-6 record in finals last year, one of my pre-season goals was for her to have a winning record in that department in 2013. I really hope Maria is saving something special for these last 2 rounds.
If she's going to show fatigue and flop, do it against Kerber. But if she gets fired up and sends Angelique packing, then she'd better take a Midol and get that Porsche.

Topics: Women's Health, Medicare, Politics, Health Reform, States
Oct 11, 2012
Campaigns are becoming increasingly feisty as candidates spar over these charged issues.
The New York Times: A Feisty Debate Crystallizes Differences In Tight Massachusetts Race
Elizabeth Warren and Senator Scott P. Brown kept the pressure on each other throughout a feisty, hourlong debate here Wednesday night. … Asked where he would cut the government, Mr. Brown cited President Obama's health care law, which, he said, was crushing Massachusetts businesses. He said the law would remove $700 billion from Medicare, an assertion that Mr. Romney made in last week's presidential debate (Seelye, 10/11).
Los Angeles Times: Berman, Sherman Mix It Up – Again – In Congressional Race Forum
Both supported the Affordable Health Care Act and said Wednesday that it had already provided access to healthcare for thousands of uninsured people and was a good first step. And each said he wanted "comprehensive" immigration reform, including securing borders, providing a path to legal residency for otherwise law-abiding illegal immigrants and sanctions against employers who hire workers without proper documentation (Merl, 10/10).
The Washington Post: Kay Coles James Featured In New George Allen Ad
Republican Senate candidate George Allen on Wednesday released a new TV ad, the second featuring Kay Coles James, his secretary of health and human resource when he was governor. … Democrats have also questioned James as a surrogate in an election in which Kaine has sought to make women's health issues a focus. As director of public affairs for the National Right to Life Committee, James opposes abortion (Vozzella, 10/10).
The Hill: McCaskill Releases Series Of Attack Ads Featuring Sexual Assault Victims
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) is releasing a new set of ads featuring victims of sexual assault who criticize Rep. Todd Akin's (R-Mo.) position on contraception. McCaskill's reelection campaign announced Wednesday that it would release three new ads, each featuring a different testimonial from a sexual assault victim. The ads hit McCaskill's Senate challenger for saying that the female body has ways of terminating pregnancies that are the result of "legitimate rape" as well as Akin's opposition to emergency contraception. "I'm a Republican and a pro-life mother and a rape survivor. In the hospital, I was offered emergency contraception," Diana, one of the victims, says in one of the ads. "Because of my personal beliefs, I declined. Here's what else I believe: no woman should be denied that choice. What Todd Akin said is offensive, but what he believes is worse. He would criminalize emergency contraception. I've never voted for Claire McCaskill, but because of Todd Akin, I will now" (Strauss, 10/10).
The Hill: Allen West Slams Opponent For Medicare Cuts West Backed
Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) is attacking his Democratic opponent for supporting $716 billion in Medicare cuts — the same cuts West backed when he voted for Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-Wis.) budget plans. In a new ad, West blasts Patrick Murphy for supporting President Obama's healthcare law, which cut Medicare spending by $716 billion. The 30-second spot features seniors calling Murphy "dangerous" to Medicare. But West voted for the same reductions when he supported Ryan's last two budget plans. Both sets of cuts are aimed at extending Medicare's lifetime (Viebeck, 10/10).

On 'I Had the Job. What Was It? I Wasn't Sure'
This sounds like a lot of "office-less" jobs I've had. You never see your supervisors, customers, or coworkers. Very surreal. And the money always eventually stops.
On AirBnb Ruined Our Lives and Turned Us Into Entitled City Dwellers
@steponitvelma Save those receipts.
On AirBnb Ruined Our Lives and Turned Us Into Entitled City Dwellers
@billrob If it's income, it's taxable. They're pulling in $18,000 - $24,000 per year renting their room. You bet Uncle Sam wants a piece of that. Plus, AirBnB was requiring them to file taxes, because AirBnB is covering their own asses. If you don't declare 20 grand in income and the IRS finds out, they're going to go after you and they're going to make it hurt. Edit: I'm also pretty certain she admitted to Medicaid fraud in print.
On AirBnb Ruined Our Lives and Turned Us Into Entitled City Dwellers
The hotel business is one tough mother. And you went into a partnership with two other people without a contract or clear guidelines of who is responsible for what. As my dad always said (and which I until recently blissfully ignored): "Get it in writing." Chalk it up as a learning experience (and always assume you have to pay taxes).
On B is for Bonus
On Crazy Interviews and What They Cost
@pterodactylish Ugh, I had to do a "writing test" that required two pages of features ideas, two pages of column ideas, and three researched pitches. This was for a basic staff writer position at a (MAJOR DATE-CENTERED) dating company's crappy blog. No response to the writing test. No response to three follow-up e-mails. Looks like they got a whole bunch of free work from a bunch of desperate people out there.
On Crazy Interviews and What They Cost
@OllyOlly Interviewer thinks: "I don't want to hire this interviewee for whatever bizarre personal reason but I can't legally do so unless I provide a rationale. Quick, brain, think of a question that no one could really satisfactorily answer." Interviewer says: "How do banks make money?"

Half of all gains are between 18 and 30? I'm 31 and earning exactly what I did when I was 23. So considering inflation, I'm going to be eating cat food by 46. Niiiiice.

From the Super Mario Wiki
Chester is a gooey monster disguised as a purple Treasure Chest that appears in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Inside the chest is its body, which resembles a tan Ameboid. It is one of the various monsters spawned by Magikoopa and can be found in behind one of the six doors in Bowser's Keep.
Chester is the most powerful member of the Pandorite family, sporting the highest stats in all areas, but also follows a predictable pattern. Its first action in battle will be to summon a Bahamutt. On its next turn, Chester will use Sandstorm to damage the entire party, as well as possibly inflict Fear. On its following turn, it will use either Mega Recover to heal or Flame Wall to damage the party. The odds of each is 2/3 in favor of Mega Recover, and 1/3 in favor of Flame Wall. Chester's pattern then starts over, with the difference of checking to see if Bahamutt is still active: if not, it will summon another one, but if it is, Chester will use Flame Stone to inflict Fire damage to one character.
Like its brethren, Chester is immune to all elemental attacks and status effects except Jump, which it is weak to. It is best to have Mario focus on Chester, using Ultra Jump to inflict as much damage as possible each turn. Non-elemental group attacks such as Bowser's Bowser Crush, Geno's Geno Flash or Geno Blast, or Princess Toadstool's Psych Bomb can be used to damage both monsters simultaneously.
A Chester can be found long before the one in Bowser's Keep, inside Monstermama's house in Monstro Town; however, it is not an enemy. It appears in the upper room and tells Mario how many invisible chests (or "Surprise Boxes" as it refers to them) he hasn't found in the game; however, collecting them all only prompts him to say, "Wow, you found them all."

As a result of Cuonzo Martin's departure from Tennessee, the Vols also lost a commitment from 7'1″ center Kingsley Okoroh.
I want to thank The University Of Tennessee and the fans for your support unfortunately I announce my de-commitment from Tennessee
— Kingsley Okoroh (@Kingokoroh) April 15, 2014
I announce my commitment to the University of California Berkeley. I'm very excited to be a BEAR !
— Kingsley Okoroh (@Kingokoroh) April 15, 2014
Okoroh committed to Tennessee on Monday, but announced on Tuesday that he'd be following Martin to California.
This should not come as a surprise at all. Recruits are typically more committed to a coach than they are a school.
Okoroh's decommitment now leaves the Vols with two available scholarships for this upcoming season.

Last-Second Bulbaversary Blog
by, 16th July 2011 at 10:59 PM (370 Views)
Darn, I was this close to missing it. Well anyways, let's get straight to the point.
I joined here thanks to the son of a friend of my dad's. I was at my dad's work, when I heard that boy talking about Bulbagarden. We talked, and in the end, I got this account as Hyper Weavile. The forums were pretty good when I saw them at first. I remember coming home to log in every day after school until my mom began yelling at me. I was like this until December. One day, my mom decided to see what I do here. Oh boy. She saw the forums mainpage and stuff, but ended up logging me off. After that, she did that every time she saw me here, saying things like: "You can't talk to strangers" and "Go get real friends". I'm working on it, geez. Well, this was until I got an iTouch for Three King's Day. When I found that I could log in from there without my parents knowing, I was filled with joy. Since then, I've been everyday with my iTouch in here without my parents' knowledge. That's been like that up to now, and hopefully, I can be like this for five more years, until I graduate and get my own house. Now, throughout the 365 years of me being here, I've made quite a few friends:
Octy - Oh, Ariel. She's funny, smart, caring, loving, and a bunch of other stuff that I'd probably be all night and morning writing. She's also probably the reason I go to sleep at 2AM and wake up at 11AM, and darn I'm loving it. We hang out everyday we can here, and I don't want it to end. She's one of the main reasons I'm here at BMGf, and I don't plan on leaving anytime soon.
Buzz - Big Brad. Da' Big Bug Boss. My Jedi Master in Kingdom Hearts. He is one great friend. He's very fun to be around with, and is one of my... 10ish friends here. He created the Pokémon Universe Series Roleplay, and I was the first one to sign up. Best decision of my life. He's helped me along with Matthew through my times of doubt, and I'm grateful.
Kamex - Matthew H. Robinson. The master at Banners and stuff. Thanks to him, I'm the rockin' lil' dude I'm today. Along with Brad, he's helped me through my rocky times here in BMGf and in real life, and I'm grateful.
Enzap - Randomness itself. He's a funny dude whom I have a laugh when around. He manages to turn any situation around into a joke, which is helpful in our little circle of friends Whig we have all created here.
Hypersonic - Grammar Nazi Commander. He probably knows more about robots than I do of myself. When in doubt about a sentence, I ask him. He'd greatly organized, and I'm thankful for that.

Hoover, an engineer by background, was in modern terms, something of a technocrat, who believed that not only the performance of industry but social progress could best be furthered by rational methods of management and a problem-solving approach to issues. ("Technocracy," a term popularized in this same era, had originally a more specific but related meaning of government by technical experts.) This was an outlook much in vogue in the 1920s. As businesses grew in size, traditional methods of management -- derived from customary practices in the workshops and small factories of an earlier time -- were giving way to the professional concept of management that we now take for granted. Whereas even large companies had formerly been essentially family firms scaled up, corporations were increasingly private bureaucracies, with elaborate tables of organization and, standardized management hiring and promotion practices in place of dependence on personal relationships.
All of these tendencies were accelerated by the experience of World War I, when rationalized systems introduced for the war emergency had achieved astonishing feats of organization an

The ancient art of putting quill to paper has been a celebrated sign of a civilized society. While we may not rely on the plucked feathers of a large bird to place our thoughts down in writing today, there is still a place for handwritten notes in our daily lives. Whether you're a student in school or a busy professional sketching out operational strategies in your planner, the act of putting pen to parchment is as relevant today as it was when our ancestors scratched images on cave walls countless years ago.
There's no question that the method in which we jot down and store information has changed dramatically over the past several years. Gone are the days of needing to send handwritten letters to friends and relatives as a basic form of communication. Also approaching extinction is the widespread use of handwritten documents in the workplace. More and more businesses are going paperless, citing economic and environmental reasons for making the transition.
Fear not, lovers of the written word. There are plenty of advances being made in the world of handwriting that even now make this almost spiritual activity of note taking all the more interesting. Pens today have evolved to the point where some of them contain actual computers that can look up definitions, record lectures, and even play games with you as you jot down notes during class.
Here is my list of the top five pens for geeks.
Livescribe Echo Smartpen – $160
Imagine going to class armed with nothing more than a pen and a notepad. Using these two objects, you spend your time in class taking notes that can be uploaded to your Mac back at the dorm room, playing games, looking up various subjects in Wikipedia, and still managing to record the entire lecture. Not only that, but you can replay the lecture at various points instantly by simply tapping on something you scribed during that point in the conversation.
Livescribe has created a platform that takes the otherwise simple act of note taking to a new level. You can go back in time and hear lecture points given by the professor days, weeks, months, and even years ago by simply turning to that page in your notebook and tapping on your notes. Yes, this pen really is that capable.
Available at anywhere between $100 and over $200, the Livescribe line includes various storage capacity points. You can pick up a starter "pro" pack with an 8 GB version of the Livescribe right now on Amazon for roughly $160. That's not a bad deal, especially if you're a student.
Inka Pen – $20
Have you ever found yourself in the situation where you needed a pen, but one wasn't readily available? You may keep one on you all the time, except this one occasion where you really needed it.
Enter the Inka Pen. This pen is not only extremely reliable, but it actually screws apart and transforms into a small attachment for your keychain. With a few motions, you've got a full-sized pen at your disposal ready to sign and return to your keychain. Not only that, but the Inka Pen includes a stylus, which is handy when using devices that use a resistive touchscreen technology.
For times when you just want something to write with, you can pop the writing end of the Inka Pen out of the base with a single motion, making it one of the easiest and most convenient pens you'll ever find.
Worried about altitude, temperature, or other harsh conditions keeping you from writing? The Inka Pen uses a replaceable pressurized cartridge (similar to the Fisher Space Pen) that will write upside down on the top of Mount Everest if you really need it to.
Ultimate Geek Pen – $5
Geeks love multi-purpose gadgets. Give them a standard BIC pen and they'll usually sigh and roll their eyes. However, if you hand them the Ultimate Geek Pen, they'll marvel at a single pen that is also a laser pointer, fraud-detecting UV light, flashlight, and a stylus. This all-in-one solution is a great stocking stuffer, though don't think you'll get away with it as your primary gift, especially if the geek in question is close to you.
The Ultimate Geek Pen has a cheap construction, but the added tools actually do what they claim to do. The laser pointer is every bit as good as any other budget red pointer you would find in the check-out lane. The flashlight and UV light do their jobs very well. Probably the weakest point of this pen can be found in the actual pen function. The ball-point tip can be rough to write with, and the flexible arm for the flashlight is constantly getting in the way.
Still, if you're looking for a pen that doesn't cost a lot of money to give a geek in your life, this is a good candidate.
Fisher Space Pen – $20
Who wouldn't want a pen designed to work in space? The Fisher Space Pen writes in virtually any environment, and looks incredible. Its two-part design allows you to tuck it away in your pocket, handbag, or some wallets without a problem. Once extended, the pen itself is comfortable and easy to write with.
My favorite thing about this pen in particular is how smooth it is to write with. You will be hard-pressed to find a smoother writing tip on a pen in its price range, and the replacement capsules can be found almost anywhere.
Swann 4 GB Pencam – $50
Imagine being able to take video from your pen. You can with the Swann Pencam. This elegant-looking pen is not only a stylish writing device, but a digital camcorder as well. You can record AVI video at 640×480 resolution with surprisingly good clarity for such a small video capture device. At 4 GB, you have roughly two hours of storage capability, making it one of the highest capacity devices of its class.
You might want to check with the local laws of your area before putting this little device to work. In any case, it makes a great stocking stuffer, and geeks are sure to love the James Bond appeal of such an extraordinarily sneaky device.
This pen makes a great gift for lawyers, pranksters, journalists, bloggers, vloggers, and anyone else who might be able to put this little electronic marvel to good use.
Bonus Tip: DIY
Any cheap pen can look a little geekier with the help of LEGO and a substance called Sugru. Even a delicate coating of super glue can do the trick of adding the head of a LEGO minifig to the back end of an otherwise boring pen or pencil. This is a great solution for kids that enjoy those crazy creature erasers, but can't find a good Darth Vader or R2-D2.
There are also several great DIY designable pens that are made to be customized. You can usually find them at your local hobby store.
The act of writing may be taking a less active role in favor of keyboards and other electronic devices, but I believe it will be a long time before we would truly replace this fundamental element of civilized culture. Writing will always be a favorite pastime in my life — what about yours?

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school is not as friendly as the other school in town. It lacks administration and the school board at west is much better. Teachers are both good and bad at both schools but the friendly and family oriented atmosphere at West makes it a better learning environment for the students. If you are transferring from another school, my advice would be to go to West as they are more welcoming and it will be easier to acclimate to that school. RHS is too snobby and the kids lack respect and class.
This school suffers from severe overcrowding. My daughter complains of close to thirty students in each class, we will likely be moving her to west next year.
The school is coming out of a dark place with bad publicity and some bad leaders from years back. The school came up 2 letter grades on the State scoring system from a D to a B and will continue to prosper in my opinion. The community continues to be divided by the two separate school systems which is a detriment to the kids as one school system would be wonderful for everyone except for the administrators who stand to loose their high paying jobs as well as power and control... According to police, Robertson has far less calls to the campus than what West Las Vegas High does. I am a happy parent with the education my child is receiving here.
I actually have a question to other parents and teachers and students, we will be moving to the LV area and I would love some feed back on the schools if I could, would be soo helpful I have highschool and middle school students. Please give some information. Thank You
Very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very Great school
Excuse me. Teacher. Teacher! Wait. DONT HIT ME! Can i go to the bathroom? Cheese my knees.
The school focuses on nothing but athletics. The school's freshman are in a separate building called the Freshman Academy, it is very small, poorly run (in the men's bathroom, only one of the stalls has a door, and the soap dispenser and the wall between the urinals has been ripped off by a student, about 5 months ago. The district cannot replace teachers, as soon as one retires (which the district is forcing) it takes months to get a new one and if that teacher is in the main building (grades 10-12), they will get a teacher from the Freshman Academy to replace him/her, while the Freshman get a sub, and this will last for months on end. Freshman have NO rights, you can't go off campus, you can't buy from the food vendors that come here, you can't take college credit classes. Not to mention all the scandals that have happened here. Go to West.
Teh academics at Robertson are Lacking, The school focuses on sports and silly things like dress code rather than spending some time trying to educate us.
It seems that the problems written here about RHS are stemmed from parenting issues, not the staff. If students are ditching, getting into fights and dropping out, then what are the parents doing to discourage this. Teachers can only do so much. I have a son and a nephew who are RHS graduates. Both have done very successful in post secondary endeavors thanks to the teachers and staff of RHS. Remember the school can only do so much, parents need to take responsibility and parent. Don't expect the school to teach work ethic and morals, they can try but I has to come form home.
Not only are the academics very poor the administrative staff is poor run. I had to wait almost 2 months for Robertson to transfere my son's reocrds. I am still waiting and today finally contacted the principal. I am not sure why everything at Roberston has the mentality of 'tommorrow'. Maybe that is why the kids also have that mentality.
Robertson High School, as we all know, does have its problems. However, do not forget that this school, despite all the odds, did, in fact make AYP last year. This means that there is something going right at RHS. The wrestling team just achieved another state championship!! The MESA group has won several state titles and awards. FFA and BPA are repeatedly placing in the state and national competitions. The new mariachi group, which has only been together for two years, sounds like a professional group. They are phenomenal. That, my friends, is only a taste of all of the positive things at RHS. More teachers than not work diligently to prepare their students for life beyond high school. My children are graduates of RHS and one attends currently. She is an honor roll student, is challenged, and will be fully prepared for college!!! Thank you RHS and teachers!! A grateful
For the most part, the administrative staff is not interested in helping students find solutions. They are more likely to encourage a student to drop out than to help the student find solutions to their academic problems.
RHS is an open campus school. From a parents point of view I can see how that seems like a bad thing. However, having an open campus isn't RHS' problem, especially since campus is isn't official open 'til after fourth mod. If students are going to ditch, they will ditch whether they are allowed to or not. The problem is a majority of the teachers don't care to teach. If students were challenged they probably wouldn't consider ditching as often. Buy hey, it's HighSchool, how many people can honestly say that they had the time of their life in class? HighSchool isn't just about going to class, it's about finding yourself. I have a friend who went to from RHS to a school in Florida, he said that RHS was much more challenging. Overall RHS isn't that bad. It doesn't deserve the bad biased rep it's been given latley
I am a student at RHS and I must say that this school is all about sports and not about education. There is problems of fighting ditching class and coming to class late. This school needs to change.
RHS leaves alot to be desired in providing a good education. It seems to be on a par with many schools in NM, however, in that they are all poor academically. The school has an open campus, which promotes an environment of not taking school seriously. There is a major problem with children 'ditching' classes and coming in tardy. Unfortunately, as this is a small town, there really isn't much of an option as the only other high school is even worse.
