It took 2 false starts until they made the best Skulls. This movie was by far the best skulls so far. Of course you know's the baddy its always the cute ones. And in this movie there is 3 gorgeous guys all hot for one girl(Claire Kramer). This movie is defiantly worth 5 stars it doesnt drag on and they have captured your attention by the first scene right up until the last
A skull movie above any other.....
This is the 3rd installment in the Skulls series- the skulls is an ultra-secret/prestigious and powerful college society. They mold and support its male members, turning them into the most powerful leaders. In this 3rd series Clare Kramer plays Taylor, an accomplished young woman whose father is a Skull and her brother committed suicide when he couldn't become a skull.
Taylor sues the Skulls under gender discrimination and she is reluctantly accepted as its first female inductee. Taylor wants her Dad's acceptance and she thinks entry into the Skulls is one way. But not everyone, not even her Dad, wants Taylor in the Skulls. The story is told in flashbacks...Clare Kramer is great in the lead role and reminds me of a young Ashley Judd.
The movie's murder and mysteries are intruging, the viewers don't even find out who the victim is until well into the movie. The identity of the final hero, betrayer and murderer came as a genuine surprise to me. The Skulls III is actually, IMHO, the best of the series.
The DVD offers the basic scene selection, plus bonus features-the trailer and an inside look at the making of the Skulls III with commentarys from the director and actors.
No one is forcing you to see this.
So I rented this DVD for two reasons. The first is that I really liked the first one. The second one was terrible, but I liked the first and was hopeful that perhaps the makers were trying to remedy the gigantic mistake Skulls 2 was by trying again. The second reason was that there was at least one hot girl who got naked in Skulls 2 and I was hoping for equivalent or greater nudity. There was no nudity in this movie. The lead girl is very pretty, and a swimmer, but that's as far as it went. But as for my first reason, I was not as disappointed. This is much, much better than the second movie. This is in fact not a waste of time and space. There are some good moments that are feebly left to themselves, but overall this is an average movie. In short: > Predictable plot twists > Interesting premise to the Skulls idea (I mean, face it, besides the idea of a cool secret society, they don't have much to go on) > Some rather scary and, in my opinion, well-filmed moments of climax or drama. > The direction is good. The dialogue is mediocre and predictable and as another reviewer mentions, reeks of mid-budget tv-shows. But the movie is directed well. Not extraordinarily, but the plot is made decently real. > The characters are not very human, but if you take the cues and invoke your emotions, it gets human. Kinda like an interactive thing :-)
So basically, I liked it, although I might not have had I not seen Skulls 2 and thus not had pitifully low expectations. Check this one out if you have nothing to do, don't make it a party event.
I was browsing through my rental place when I saw this dvd and decided to pick this up. The first Skulls had a good premise and a great cast (the ultra hot Leslie Bibb a extra plus to it) but this review isn't about that movie its about the sequel. The Skulls 2 has the same basic premise as the first one. Guy joins Skulls, guy sees wrong-doings by Skull members, guy gets set up by the Skulls, guy uses smarts to outwit Skull members all the while getting the girl. I hope I didn't spoil the movie for anyone by revealing the good guy winning. Like it would happen any other way anyways. This straight to video movie has an above average production and a nice cast. Robin Dunne is a good actor although I see him more as a tv actor than a movie actor. The pacing of the movie was great all the way...

Think of the Skulls as a collegiate Freemason's society--an ultrasecret organization that opens the doors of power to a few lucky Ivy League students, including school rowing star Luke McNamara (Joshua Jackson), a poor kid with a misspent youth. "If it's secret and it's elite, it can't be good," cautions his journalist roommate, but the lure of lavish gifts and cabal-like ceremonies in torch-lit stone chambers is too much to resist--until his roomie is murdered and his own Skull "soulmate" Caleb Mandrake (Paul Walker) is the number one suspect.
There's a campy kick to the initiation ceremonies, ancient rituals in dungeonlike alcoves filled with haze and shadow, performed by enthralled frat boys, but as Jackson flounders at the center of a Skull conspiracy it spins into ludicrous...

Two guys at a college prep school make wagers on seducing naive young girls, and then meet their match when they agree to see which one can seduce the most popular and devious girl who has her own agenda to everything.

Professional wrestling star the Rock, who was such a lump of flesh in The Scorpion King, proves surprisingly light on his feet in The Rundown, demonstrating charm and humor as well as the requisite toughness. Beck (the Rock), a repo-man for deadbeats, is sent to South America to find a treasure hunter (Seann William Scott) who's seeking a priceless golden idol--which the local head honcho (Christopher Walken) would like to get his hands on as well. Add in the lovely but dangerous barmaid with a secret (Rosario Dawson), and Beck has some obstacles to overcome. The plot of The Rundown isn't anything special, but the script is enjoyably clever and reasonably coherent; the capable cast keeps things lively; and the movie's relaxed but sinewy pace sets it apart from the...
