DEAD PRESIDENTS (1994). Great Hughes Bros film of a group of friends going to Vietnam and struggling to return to normal lives in their old NYC neighborhood. Gritty and good performances by Laurenz Tate, Keith David, Freddie Rodriguez and a quite funny Chris Tucker. ****1/2

The Prodigy
This was ok. There was a part in the beginning that stuck with me and kinda ruined the rest of the movie because I couldn't get it out of my head. It's a minor thing and probably won't bother anyone else. The movie itself is interesting at least. There's some scares and it has a good atmosphere but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. It at least foregoes the typical demon possession story and goes for something different. But it follows a typical formula to other movies and that hurts it. I wouldn't recommend seeing in theaters but not a bad watch at home if you're bored. 6/10

Quote:
Annihilation (2018) 7/10 "A biologist signs up for a dangerous, secret expedition into a mysterious zone where the laws of nature don't apply." Starring Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh. Sci-fi film that's kind of lowkey and gloomy mostly, but has some cool special effects and electronic music. It's not particularly exciting or deep. It's an old sci-fi concept but the storyline is somewhat fresh. |

Travis - aka The Sighting - was a pleasant surprise. Good build-up, nice twist and a somewhat open ending, though it leaves me leaning a bit more to the police man's theory.
Fear was entertaining. We know Wahlberg can be goofy and silly, but way back when, he could be scary as well. Also: is this film set in Seattle? I'm not sure, but we do get more than a few shots of what looks like the space needle.
