"Safe House" 7/10

A not very original action flick with a perfect pacing.

Session 9 (2001) was okay, until the ending. Amazing setting though, I would love to roam around an abandoned asylum. 6/10

Piranha 3DD
I really liked the first one. It had such a great self awareness about itself. It knew exactly what kind of movie it was and didnt try and be anything more but it also didnt take itself lightly because of that fact. It was funny, well done and had some great moments of horror.

The sequel however is not that good.

Taking it from a beach to a water park instantly tones it down and makes it a much smaller movie by reducing the setting. Instead of the steady build up the first one hand, this one throws piranha attacks at you all throughout the movie and none of them are good. The first one built up so well to the climatic ending but this one didnt at all and the attack at the pool was nowhere near as good as the first one.

Christopher Lloyd and Ving Rhames role's just seemed pointless this time around although i thought David Hasselhoff was at least entertaining playing himself.

If it wasn't for the blood and the nudity this is the kind of thing i would expect to see on the SyFy channel. It's not terrible or anything but it's just not as good as the first. I know it's not fair to compare it that way but honestly without the first one, i wouldn't even be giving this one the credit i am.

I can't believe I'm actually agreeing with you on something but I don't understand why people liked this movie. I'm not opposed to slow and suspensful movies but this one was awful. Literally one of the most boring movies I've ever seen; I almost fell asleep while trying to watch it. To each their own though.

I finally got to sit down and watch Microwave Massacre (1983) last night. 80's movie magic, perfectly campy with some great lines. Jackie Vernon was great. If you like "bad" 80's movies and haven't seen it, then check it out. It's definitely worth experiencing.

Oh yeah. I discovered this one when I was about 13, sitting on a dusty lower shelf in my video store's horror section.

The Other


Really boring and not creepy at all. It got a little interesting after the reveal but they didnt do enough with it. Definitely not my favorite evil little kid movie.
