Last Seen Contemporary Movie

"Wer" 6/10

This was an odd movie for me. First half was really dull and felt most of all like yet another mocumentary shit-flick, with lots and lots of dialogue and interviews/interrorgations and not much else going on. And the camera work really didn't help as it was both shaky and had some weeeird shot angles. It just kept me very aware that a guy was walking around with a camera shooting each scene.

Nevertheless, the last half was pretty damn violent and entertaining. Almost made me forget about the camera guy.

No offence, but after seeing your insane rating, seeing the title, looking at the poster and reading the storyline i was really surprised, after giving it a watch, that you were actually right. :shocked:

This is a damn good horror movie that just works on so many levels. Solid acting, interesting dialogue, an exciting story, fast pacing, high intensity and even a plot twist.

"Asylum Blackout" 9/10

See it if you haven't already, folks.

Assault on Wall Street (2013)
Slow but solid movie with some sweet ultra-violence in the end.


Rampage 2: Capital Punishment (2014)
Different than part 1 but it lived up to my expectations.
Again some good ultra-violence.

Spoilers in white:
-Looking forward to part 3. I'm hoping for a big finale.
-Loved the link with Assault On Wall Street,
when the main character gets a text from the main character from the other movie. Maybe they'll team up in the next one?
-Not that I care, but the poster is quite misleading.
Probably some marketing move. Or perhaps a hint on part 3?


X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
Pretty good. Not as good as the previous one imo but still pretty good.
And some amazing special effects.

What did you think of it, Hammerfan?

You know, I really enjoyed the original Pirates of the Caribbean (Curse of the Black Pearl). I thought it was really interesting, on top of being fun. For instance, the interactions between the Johnny Depp character and Keira Kightley on the desert island were very engaging.

I didn't really care for the 2nd (Dead Man's Chest), as the actors played too much like caricatures of the first film, it seemed to lose a sense of reality, and seemed just goofy. And without the sense of reality, the characters were never in real mortal danger, so nothing mattered. Tons of sitcoms are funnier, if I wanted that.

Eh?

It's the same main character in both movies.

It was OK. I also like the first movie the best. I'll write more in a bit, need more coffee right now.

Asylum Blackout -- 5.5/10; This has a thin plot with an all-too convenient twist to make the preceding seem meatier than it is. Every year, the genre brings two or three similar "asylum" flicks. The film does maintain a degree of tension and sports a few nice splashes of gore.
