I'll add this to my list. I stumbled across a call girl/stripper/hooker story on the Internet recently. Kind of shocking that these girls actually go to the homes of people. Seems like asking for trouble.

I reviewed almost all of those last year for Halloween except the last one. I remember really not liking Hellworld. The twist was terrible.

Has its moments but overal it was just another superhero movie.
The fighting scenes are starting to feel like the fighting in the old Batman series.
"Kapow! And it's getting boring. Or I'm getting old.

I actually kinda dug Ant-Man, and I usually don't like superhero movies.

Chernobyl Diaries (2012)

I wish I would have known that the screenplay was written by Shane Van Dyke, and if you don't know who that is, he directed a movie called Titanic II (yes, it's a real movie). Had I been aware of this unfortunate fact, I would have been spared of wasting 88 minutes on this laughably bad The Hills Have Eyes rip-off. In Chernobyl Diaries, six tourists hire a tour guide to take them into the abandoned city of Pripyat, where workers for the Chernobyl nuclear reactor used to live. After a few lame jump scares, the crew begins to suspect that the town isn't completely abandoned. Oren Peli came up with the story, and it's pretty obvious since there's not much action until the very end. This has never been much of a problem for me as long as the movie can conjure up a creepy atmosphere and some good suspense. What this movie does instead is try to scare the audience with a ton of fake jump scares and age-old cliches. It doesn't make for an entertaining movie when the characters keep making the same stupid mistakes every other movie character has made before. Watching a bunch of dimwits getting killed off in the dark is just predictable. However, the real atrocity here is the cinematography. For the first thirty minutes of the film, I was convinced this was a found footage flick because of how god damn shaky the camera was. It looked like this was filmed by a blender. Other than a decently interesting setting, Chernobyl Diaries is an embarrassingly awful movie that uses all the worst horror tropes.

Very agreed... It should have been so good.

"I-Lived" 6/10

The story had potential to be another 13 Sins, but sadly the pacing wasn't there.

With a nose job the lead actor could play Jamie Bell's double. Now you know.





"The Maze Runner: Scorch Trials" 8/10

Almost as good as the first one. Only thing missing was a maze. But they sure did run.

Mainly lame. There were some mildly entertaining moments, but you figure out what the obvious twist has been pretty much at the beginning of the film. I wouldn't say it isn't worth watching for a horror fan, but it also isn't a film I plan on viewing again. =/
