SOUND CITY (2013). Really good doc about the studio where a LOT of classic albums were recorded that eventually closed. Main focus of the film is Dave Grohl buying the soundboard and using it to record. ****

I thought the ending was actually pretty clever. It wasn't very well filmed, but I liked what it was going for. A big theme throughout the movie was that the media shows people what they want to hear and distort the facts. What I got from the ending is that the entire documentary was "distorting the facts", and the final scene where it was traditional cinematography, those were the real events.

****SPOILERS****SPOILERS****

Hmm, pretty valid insight. I totally agree with the media distortion theme, along with what I felt was a message about blind trust and naiveté in general. It all went hand in hand and had me involved from the beginning.

As for the ending, it more or less worked for me, but not as well as I would have hoped. It felt like such a sudden shift in gears that I think it could have been handled better, or even in a totally different way. The two styles of filming just seemed to clash. Have you ever been skateboarding on smooth asphalt, and then rode onto a patch of grass and suddenly stopped? That's as close an analogy as I can come up with. It was like two different surfaces and the suddenness slowed things down for me.

I was going to see Sinister II but decided to go indie. I chose well. A brother and sister decide to do an intervention on their mentally ill brother living in Maine after a disturbing phone call. Martin says he has something locked in the basement, a government experiment.

This film was brilliant. Tense, music and sounds, lighting, shadows and flickering light bulbs and rooms lite only by the glow of a television set the mood for this horror/scifi movie. There are 3 players and it takes part in a house. 73 minutes or so, yeah just a perfect time to tell this story. Blood and snow and a beating that takes place by the glow of a Vincent Price movie playing on the TV. I thought all three players were excellent actors. I would love to watch this again.. The ending was typical but still it didn't take anything away from the film. Check it out if you can. : )

Very much agreed. Reeked of Twitard appeal, but it had enough balls to keep itself and I liked it enough. Didn't care for the ending. Trying to turn Connor around and make him look like the good guy was shit. Oh so you WEREN'T just about to try and rape a girl? Yeahhhhhhhh, no.

Really liked John. Wanted to see him shift. He IS a wolf too right? Ah well at least he wasn't useless. Unlike the girls who were also pures and just sat back and watched for the most part. ::roll eyes::

The wolves looked fantastic though. I like a nice wolfman form that manages to pull it off. And fucking Wild Joe was actually dangerous looking. Probably because it's hard to make THAT full of sex appeal like the others. The individual looks also looked great. Some had markings or different fur colors, which made them easier to tell apart and helped express their personalities and what not. You don't see that in werewolf flicks so it was a nice surprise.

Also cannibal werewolves, yes.

One and Two 2015

Two kids live with their parents on a farm. No electricity. All of it made by themselves. The parents decided to keep their two children apart from society because of what they can do, and what the father thinks they could be. If that makes the film sound like its part of these dystopian and/or fantastical young adult books made into films, its not.

Its a simple film. I stopped half way through, forget why. I couldn't get back into watching it. Its ok I guess. The ending is fairly unsatisfying(I skipped to different spots in the second half) I wouldn't recommend it.

Wes Craven's New Nightmare
::SPOILERS:: (I went a little ramble crazy I'm sorry)

I can see why people might not think much of this. The opening scene even for a dream is hammy, and could Robert England be any more of an attention whore? But that's what Freddy is right? I'm not to experienced with this franchise so I'll keep most of my opinions to myself.

Wes Craven himself is on set in the first scene and that just made everything okay. Think my eyes are sweating idk

I really want one of those rotating dinosaur nightlights. I keep seeing them in movies and I just think they're so damn cool. And speaking of dinosaurs, how adorable is Dylan using his stuffed t-rex as his guard.

The husband dies and she keeps getting warnings about how horrible the body looks. ...My cats have brought me more gruesome bodies to my doorstep.

But good lord all the original cast at the funeral... I can't help but think of the funeral being for Wes. And then he shows up again like; It's okay. Horror never ends.

Honestly, WHY do people keep trying to make kids scary... The kid ties knives to his hands and goes after mom. Even in a dream that's not scary. Kids are easy to overpower, don't try to convince me a lone child screaming and going after you is dangerous. Or at least life threatening.

Shame about the babysitter. I liked her.

Here's an idea. When going after your kid walking towards a VERY busy highway, instead of climbing over the fence when you have a fully functioning vehicle, DRIVE THROUGH IT.

What's crazy about this film is that even though it looks like it could be late 90s early 2000s, it's from 1994. Hard to tell until they use effects. Then it's painfully obvious.

The blending of the two worlds in the end was gradual but quick at the same time... I have no idea how but it was actually pretty awesome. The movie plays out like a dream from here. Like when you dream you're one place wearing something then for some reason your suddenly in different clothes at a different place and time. It's actually eerie.

I don't have anything to really complain about from here. The dreamworld was fun and fucked up like it should be. Robert England was as fun and dangerous as ever. (About a broken jar of snakes: "Pick a pet for the rugrat, BITCH.")

Curious about the random grey streak in her hair. Was this a reference to an earlier Elm Street film or homage to Poltergeist?

Nailbiter 2012

A mother and her three daughters head out on the road to meet their father/husband coming back from serving in an unspecified military capacity. On the way there's a tornado warning, and of course they encounter a tornado. The mother quickly drives off the road and they find shelter in a storm cellar. But they can't get out. Something or someone is keeping them locked in the cellar.
I liked that its just the girls without the father. Not that having a father is bad, just nice to see something we usually do not see in a horror film. The acting is decent. The gore is tame and what/who is keeping them locked in the cellar we only see short glimpses of. The film reveals too much half way through. This ruins the tension a bit, but not entirely. The ending very obviously is meant to lead to a sequel. Haven't checked if there is one yet. Watching it I felt like it was directed at a teenage crowd, not quite sure why. There are also some parts that are very sad and can be hard to see.
Disappointingly the kill scenes are off screen. Not sure due to budget or to keep the film R and not PG-13.

Its worth a watch.

The Hills Have Eyes (2006)
::SPOILERS:: can't keep my opinions to myself today

I actually saw this before the original, and believe it or not I liked the remake BETTER. Surely I was ill. I'm watching them in reverse this time after not having seen them in so long. I watched the original first and now it's the remake turn. Makes me wonder if the order you watch a movie really effects your opinion on it. It seems to mine. Already I'm nit picking ''well that was rushed'', ''your character in the original wasn't a twat like you'', yada yada.

The biggest and most annoying change is the characters. The old man at the station is a douche who instead of warning them intentionally sends them too the hillbilly cannibals, the father and son in law are so dramatic and the younger mopes while the elder takes every chance he can get to poke at him.

-after getting stranded by a spike strip in the middle of the desert-
"Next year I'm going on vaca with my friends!"
"We won't have any more of these family trips you know."
OH THE IRONY.

OMG SHUT UUUUUUUP. The son in law doesn't take a gun because he's a liberal or something stupid. ...In the original it was because he wanted to make sure the rest of the family staying behind had a weapon in case something happened. Oh, no, this was a MUUUUCH better route.

And I thought the blood effects in the original were bad. That has nothing on poor Beauty's demise in the remake. I have more realistic looking stuffed animals.

The canyon of abandoned cars was a nice touch. Excellent actually. I got fucking chills when he finds a baby's car seat because you know what happened to that infant..

Backstory through newspaper clippings is lazy and stupid.

The cannibals bother me... In the original only two of them were a little abnormal... but all of them are deformed in one way or another in this. Yeah that's just what America needs. More influences to be judgmental. "See someone with a cleft pallet? They're probably going to kill you." In the original they didn't have deformities. They were monsters without having to look the part. That kind of message has a greater impact and means something. Wait, sorry, this is horror. Those rules go out the door right?

The deaths in this certainly are more bloody. They take away every fucking moment. Remember that touching scene where son-in-law finds his dead wife and he begs her not to go and cries over her body? Nope. They blew her brains out in this and used her for a jump scare so they could use bitchface son in law for more drama.

I remember at least the ending was better in the remake. It'ssss... about matched maybe? The movie moves so fast up til this point. Just. Explain this, explain that, do this quick so we can get to that. When the boy told them Beauty was gone he just blurted it out. That's the whole movie. Just blurted out.

The end though we slow down and move with son in law. We get to experience tension and let the scares build up a little. And we also see son in law become a big boy. Suddenly a badass covered in blood and sweat and no glasses. The best part of the movie when he got the blood lust flowin'. Makes me wonder how he raised his daughter after this.

Now let's see how the kids are doing.
Running from a cannibal with no gun while you actually have one... I see a flaw in this plan, do you? Who are these random ass cannibals anyway? Please tell me that wasn't Papa Jupe. And again no suspense with that fight scene...

Completely sucks about Ruby. Saw it coming though. "Monsters" seldom live happily ever after. Even if they saved your baby.

"A fiery young woman seeks revenge against the killer who destroyed her family -- and she won't quit till she makes the monster suffer for his crimes."

It's not bad. It's not GOOD.. but it's not bad. A bit on the psychological side. And takes forever to get anywhere. The story was good but I don't think it was directed well.

Tusk 2014

Alright. So imagine with me. I'm visiting my dad. I'm trying to figure out what movie we could watch together. I'd watched the trailer for Tusk a while ago and remembered my impression being that a bit of an asshole podcaster/radio guy goes to visit an interesting, gnarled recluse who then puts the asshole through harsh treatment to make him tough, or for his own amusement. If you've seen Tusk, obviously its not that. My dad kept telling me how stupid it was, he didn't finish it. I enjoyed it. It made me laugh out loud in a few parts.

Spoiler:
Its very obviously ripping off The Human Centipede, but it's still a decent flic.

Justin Long deserves some sort of recognition reward, specifically for the 2nd half of the movie. He was fantastic. Michael Perks was great, but his role wasn't as difficult to pull off. And the guy who plays his best friend, fuck him because he'll be able to look 20 years younger when he's older. :)

The film was somewhat complex, but not in things to keep track of. In Tusk you get a lot of perspectives and brief moments. These sort of worked, but for me they weren't placed in the right spots.

I woke up and couldn't go back to bed. Visiting dad and there's cable here. I wanted something that wasn't very involved/intense. So I put on Ouija. Predictable, boring, etc. But it was perfect for my situation. If you want something that doesn't cause any emotion and you want to veg out and not think too much its appropriate for that.

Alone with Her (2006)

Where The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity used their found footage format to enhance the scares rather than hinder them, Alone with Her utilizes its style to create a suspenseful stalker thriller, even if it hits all the familiar genre beats. Alone with Her is shown from various hidden cameras inside a young woman's house that were set up by a stalker. There are also video cameras attached to him making you the stalker. Nothing about Alone with Her should be terribly surprising to even a casual viewer, but the way the cameras are set up can lead to some really unsettling images. This is a very character-driven suspense film. It's subtle and doesn't rely on elaborate chase scenes or convoluted plot twists. Alone with Her may not offer too many twists to the stalker genre, but the found footage format makes for a unique and unsettling experience.

Looking forward to seeing this sequel, Roshiq. I'm encouraged by your B rating. For context, what did you think of the first one?

I didn't much like the first one when I first saw it. But just before watching this 2nd Phase, I gave it another try as I mostly forget about it...how she got infected & what happened at the end etc. And surprisingly, this time around I liked it a lot. The make-up effects were good & eerie. The lead, Samantha wasn't a likable character and that actually kinda helps to see her condition getting worse & worse every day. Though the first film didn't give details about the origin of the disease but as an introductory story for a series, I think it was alright & quite decently handled.
Phase 2 comes with few details about the 'disease', focused mostly on Samantha's admirer Riley who's going through with the same shitty infections like Samantha but this time it's spreading fast & there may be an epidemic coming. Still as a whole, I found nothing much better than the original but definitely worth a watch.

The most recent film I watched was "Would You Rather?". the movie was surprisingly very good in my opinion the film gave a unique feel for it. I especially loved the intense decision making and the fact that every decision that was mad effected the outcome of each player. The Whole movie had a fast paced feel. I highly recommended this movie if you enjoy intense scenes and a unique idea, I will have to say that this movie does have some cringe worthy scenes. The Movie is on Netflix.

The Werewolf Reborn

I want to say this is from 1998... I didn't even know of it's existence until I found it on eBay. The trailers alone are worth a watch before the movie even starts. It advertises action figures from the Puppet Master series, and wow are they unsettling for a kid's toy. I never even watched them and I want them.

The movie was crap. Seen worse werewolves and plot but it's certainly no classic.

Four girls go to a cabin in the woods and are taken over by evil. Probally zero budget here but alot of imagination. All diy FX and done with fun. Camera angles, fog machines, lighting, shadows, flash paper and camera wizardry are the main focus. A big nod to the Evil Dead with a knife lick. Music over lapping music and the occasional dance with animal masks.. Neat! I really liked this for a no budget what the fuck ever film. I not gonna rate it.....fuck it, Yes I am. 6/10.

Awful. The trailer makes it look fun and low budget, but in a fun way. Its not, its awful. The story, the acting...the blood looks incredibly fake. The gore that was used was amateurish. The story is just a rambling excuse for badly done kill scenes. I paid 7.50 to watch this, so bad. I guess the one good part was the main actress, she was alright.

‘Annabelle” (2014)
-Annabelle Wallis

Plot: IMDB
A couple begins to experience terrifying supernatural occurrences involving a vintage doll shortly after their home is invaded by satanic cultists.

Phantom’s Review:
If you’re a fan of gore, sledgehammer shocks, in your face horror and major FX,well you should probably stay away from ‘Annabelle’. This film is a good ,old fashioned ghost story. Slow moving, as it builds up suspense,light on the gore and FX and heavy on acting, atmosphere and suspense. A couple of good “BOO” scenes and some dine acting. If you like a good, slow burn ghost story, I think you’ll like this. I did,

The Happening (2008)

The Happening is the kind of movie where you'll roll your eyes so much that they might roll out of your head. It's a bad movie; call me crazy all you want, but I actually enjoyed it. In The Happening, science teacher Elliot Moore, along with his wife Alma and a little girl, have to outrun a neurotoxin that causes people to kill themselves. It's a scary thought, especially when the villain is completely invisible and unstoppable. The scenes where people suddenly stop in their place, walk backwards and commit suicide in the most convenient way possible is when The Happening is legitimately creepy and suspenseful, save for a ridiculous scene early in the movie where it's literally raining men. That's not what makes this movie so entertaining though. Absurd scenes like Mark Wahlberg introducing himself to a plastic plant or a group of people trying to "outrun the wind" makes The Happening a fun movie to watch. Don't watch this movie because you want a serious thriller in the vein of Shyamalan's earlier films; watch it as a silly, brainless movie, and it'll be a lot of fun.

Four people go to explore an abandoned asylum/hospital. Found footage type thing, except nobody says who found the footage. It starts out ok with two interviews with people who were in the facility. Then for about forty minutes nothing happens. Oh no, somebody moved their glow sticks! Oh no there's hair everywhere! Oh no! I was literally having trouble keeping my eyes open. I skipped to the end and it is what you'd expect. Nothing original. Or something that done before but interesting, not that either. My guess is the people who made the movie thought by just shooting in an abandoned complex it would make their movie good.

Strange Magic (2015)

If you've ever seen the movie Enchanted, this is the kind of movie they were making fun of. I was confused about the plot of this movie when I watched the trailers, and now that I've actually seen the movie, I still don't know what it's about. From what I gathered, Strange Magic has to do with these two sisters/lesbians?, some love potion that causes you to sing a lot, and a troll king. If there's any semblance of a coherent plot, it went way over my head. There seemed to be way too much going on at one time. The story cycle through three main characters at almost two minute intervals, and it got so aggravating that I just gave up trying to follow whatever was happening on screen. One thing I know for certain about Strange Magic is that it lives up to its title; it's strange. The background animation is about as good as you'd expect from a modern animated movie, but the character design is just unintentionally creepy. They look more like demented caricatures than cartoon characters. What makes this movie even more painful to watch is that a majority of the running time is dedicated to covering random pop and rock songs at the most unnecessary times. They cover just about everything: Lady Gaga, The Beatles, Beyonce, Whitney Houston, you name it. Strange Magic may provide a decent distraction for the youngest of moviegoers, but older viewers will just be annoyed by the ridiculous soundtrack and disturbing animation.

Avengers - Age of Ultron.

Second time viewing since the cinema.
I still don't think it really had the impact the first one did, though to be honest I found it more rewatchable than I did the first.

Anyhows...aside from some inconsistencies and liberties taken with certain storylines and characters, I didn't really mind it.

I did notice something though.
I'm going to put it in white for anyone that hasn't seen it yet.

I'm pretty sure they haven't killed off Quicksilver. Just the way they laid him on the Helicarrier transport thing. They lay Hawkeye right next to his "body", though right before that we see he's injured his hand and is bleeding. Earlier int he film he was injured and exposed to some medical technology that literally regrew flesh over his wounds. Add to that Quicksilver ends up laying right under the aforementioned bleeding hand, and his deliberately mentioned accelerated metabolism/physiology, and I think that's how they're likely to get him back into play one way or another.

I much rather it was his sister who was offed either way. Bitch fucked with the team and didn't even apologize, but yeah sure let's initiate her into the team. ::roll eyes::

And Tony was a dick too. Convince Bruce in the first movie that he's not a monster and he has more worth than he feels he has, and just wipe that all away in the sequel. Asshat. Black Widow too. didn't mind the love interest but that was a dick move pushing him into the pit, Nat.

...I'm apologize. I'm rambling. Point being if extended scenes or an alternate ending could make these better, I'll give them a shot. But I HIGHLY doubt it. Age of Ultron was ultimately a disappointment for me considering how the first movie is one of my favorites. Although Ultron and Vision were very fucking boss.

The Visit (2015)

The Visit manages to do two great things: it breaks the losing streak Shyamalan has been having for over a decade, and it manages to continue a winning streak for 2015 horror. The Visit is about two siblings who visit their estranged grandparents for a week while the girl, Becca, films a documentary about their stay. After a few strange encounters, they realize something is seriously wrong with their hosts. Although it wasn't as terrifying as Unfriended or It Follows, The Visit is the most fun I've had watching a horror movie in the theater. You'll be laughing your ass off through laced fingers; it's just as thrilling as it is funny. The movie perfectly punctuates every intense scene with some witty dialog from the kids. I smell a comeback for a once-acclaimed director, and the first step is with the wickedly fun The Visit.

The Editor (2014)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p433/sanjidparvez/editor_zpslnw0fiva.jpg

Ah! Finally a Giallo spoof! I think it was long overdue to make a pure Giallo parody considering all the iconic & typical aspects of this once acclaimed sub-genre that influenced American slashers. And this is beautifully done; not only a great homage to Argento, Fulci & of course Sergio Martino's style of popular Giallo features, it also wonderfully captured 70s typical Euro trash sleaziness all over with fine blend of nudity, gore & comedy. From the 2nd half, the pace was kinda dragged down a bit though.

So here are my thoughts - I actually want to get other folks' opinions because the people that I was with really seemed to enjoy it... Have you ever come out of something like a show or a movie, feeling a definite and certain way (like, "Wow! That was so terrible!") and you're about to seek comradery among the group your with and then you realize, with horror, that ALL OF THEM FEEL THE EXACT OPPOSITE? Granted, I went with a Meetup group that I was meeting for the first time so I wasn't sure our movie tastes were even all that similar...


The Visit (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3567288/?ref_=nv_sr_1) (2015)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/visit_zpsvlz16u82.jpg


My initial impression coming out of the movie that it was very much overall "MEH" and that I've seen better, creepier found footage movies with independent fare along the lines of The Taking of Deborah Logan.

What bugged me:

The story centers around two characters, a brother and sister. The sister is filming their trip as part of a "documentary" she is making. So, she's essentially the Shamalan stand-in, the auteur - And the dialogue she was given was so incredibly pseudo-film-intellectual and self-referential and forced - I just couldn't buy a teenager (?) speaking at a college, Film 101 level - And I get it - It IS supposed to be self-referential, but I really don't think that Shamalan is really that introspective. Everything out of her mouth - oh boy - Was rough. Not her fault, though, the dialogue was just way too old for her, I guess.
As weird things started happening in the movie I just couldn't shrug off my disbelief that the kids would just stay there as opposed to calling the police. Honestly, there were times where I wondered how the grandparents were able to take care of themselves at all - Hints at senility are played as laughs (which creeped me out and made me sad more than anything else) and the kids shrug and say, "Ohhhh, it's OK. They're just OLD." With a good horror movie, you need to be able to suspend your disbelief and I just couldn't believe why the kids would stay there.
There is of course a "twist" and I actually thought it was a pretty good one! I had been guessing at it during the movie but didn't quite get there - I thought that moment of the reveal was fantastic and creepy but, honestly, as things start to go off the rails, I thought that the two kids were too annoying and making too many poor decisions that I rolled my eyes instead of being scared for them.
The final thing that annoyed me was the tone - I thought the tone was inconsistent throughout and found that the "comedy" parts were more annoying than anything else. As I read reviews, come to find out that the comedy was one of the things reviewers LIKED and that was part of the POINT of the movie - Honestly, I thought that the tone was so unsuccessful that I wouldn't call it a comedy at all. Let me give you an example of this "comedy:" [LET'S SAY THIS IS A SPOILER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE MOVIE] It's nighttime and the kids hear a creepy noise... They open the door of their bedroom and there is their grandmother, naked, and frantically clawing at the walls. It's actually pretty disturbing and horrifying - But then the boy says, "OH MY GOOOD! I'M BLIIIIIND!" which gets a huge laugh from the theater but a big ol' eye roll from me because, really? I just don't have the patience for juvenile humor - THAT'S the kind of humor that you're in for in this movie.


I felt like I was in this weird parallel universe - Everyone I saw it with liked it - But these were people I was meeting for the first time so I'm not sure if I can trust their tastes... I honesty couldn't tell if it's actually an ok movie and I'm just a cynical cranky fuck or not but man I was disappointed.


tldr: I really wasn't a fan. The comedic elements didn't work. But a lot of people liked it so maybe give it a try...?

Deep Dark 2015

This is basically A Bucket of Blood except the bodies are a hole in a wall and its pearls that seem to affect people mentally. Its also a very used plot. At least as far as I could get without being too annoyed and bored. Loser who's a bad artist. Artist finds a suspect art medium that turns into something much worse. He treats his muse badly, breaks his deal with it. He ignores the girl who really likes him for the more glamorous woman. I assume eventually the hole in the wall ruins his life.

Every time I hear about a 'hole' horror movie it frustrates me Kathy Koja's novel The Cypher hasn't been made into a film. Blah.

'Treasure Island' (1990)
-Charlton Heston
Plot: IMDB
Young Jim Hawkins, while running the Benbow Inn with his mother, meets Captain Billy Bones, who dies at the inn while it is besieged by buccaneers led by Blind Pew. Jim and his mother fight off the attackers and discover Billy Bones' treasure map for which the buccaneers had come. Jim agrees to sail on the Hispaniola with Squire Trelawney and Dr. Livesey to find the treasure on a mysterious island. Upon arriving at the island, ship's cook and scalawag Long John Silver leads a mutiny of crew members who want the treasure for themselves. Jim helps the Squire and Hispaniola officers to survive the mutiny and fight back against Silver's men, who have taken over the Hispaniola.
Phantom's Review: For night two of my "International Talk Like A Pirate Day' week, I choose, this, my favorite adaptation of Robert Lewis Stevenson's much filmed novel. Originally made as a TV movie, this film easily beats any Theatrical film version. Beautiful cinematography, an excellent script and an exceptional cast that includes Christian Bale, Christopher Lee (as Blind Pew), Oliver Reed (as Billy Bones) and Julian Glover, all led by Charlton Heston as "Long John Silver". I thoroughly enjoy this film,and if you enjoy this book or Pirate stories in general, you'll enjoy this. Ahoy!

-Gena Davis
Plot: IMDB
Morgan Adams and her slave, William Shaw, are on a quest to recover the three portions of a treasure map. Unfortunately, the final portion is held by her murderous uncle, Dawg. Her crew is skeptical of her leadership abilities, so she must complete her quest before they mutiny against her. This is made yet more difficult by the efforts of the British crown to end her piratical raids.
Phantom's Review: For night three of my "International Talk Like A Pirate Day" week,, I choose this, One of the biggest bombs in film history. Yeah, I've heard all the stories, massive financial flop, took a studio down with it, and one of the last nails in the coffin of the marriage of Gena Davis and director Renny Harlin, but despite all of this, I LIKE THIS MOVIE. It's got plenty of action, great cinematography, most of the pirate movie cliches, and a couple of awesome looking Pirate ships. Is it a great film..no, but it's lots of fun.

-Hugh Grant, Salma Hayek

Plot: IMDB
After years of humiliation and failed attempts to win the coveted Pirate of the Year Award, Pirate Captain and his oddball crew take on the cream of the pirating crop - Black Bellamy, Peg Leg Hastings and Cutlass Liz - in a race to pillage the most booty. They soon cross paths with lovelorn scientist Charles Darwin, who persuades the Captain that the crew's prized 'parrot', Polly, could be the answer to the 'untold riches' they are searching for. Their adventure takes them to Victorian London where they meet Darwin's sidekick 'man-panzee' Mister Bobo, and the notorious pirate-hating Queen Victoria herself. It soon unfolds that Darwin's motives for helping the crew are not what they seem, and the Queen has an evil hidden agenda of her own. The Pirate Captain must choose between basking in the glory of being crowned Pirate of the Year, or staying faithful to his trusted crew.

Phantom's Review:
For night four of my "International Talk Like A Pirate Day" week, I choose, a film for the whole family. This film is one of the goofiest, most entertaining animated films that I've seen in a long time. Made by the same folks who do the "Wallace And Gromitt" shows, this film is wonderfully animated, well written, with some of the silliest jokes, characters and situations. A great film for all the pirates in your crew :)

Bitva za Sevastopol(Battle of Sevastopol) 2015

This film is about Lyudmila Mikhaylovna Pavlichenko the best sniper in the Soviet army during WWII. Possibly the best sniper of any of the nations involved. It takes place from a little bit before her training up until her final days in the US as a sort of diplomat. Going back and forth from her time in the US and her time before that in the war. I do not know how much of the story is true, but she seems to have become close friends with Elanor Roosevelt. The film is of very high quality. Incredibly shot and acted, particularly Yuliya Peresild who plays the lead. I really liked that the women soldiers were treated the same as the men. The worked together and fought together in the same trenches/front lines/etc. At least in the film. She herself was tough, wounded three times to back into the fight. A few things were annoying because it was fairly obvious that some of it was propaganda. A German sniper killed with a Hitler mustache. The officers who never see battle as pompous and inept, while the 'real' soldiers were smart and decisive. The copy I found, as far as I can tell its hard to get rent in the US, had an acceptable, but often incorrect, subtitles. It was a joint film made between Russia and Ukraine before the recent Crimean invasion/annexation by Russia.

We Are Still Here 2015

Parents leave the city to a very small town with large open fields. They leave because their son died and I guess they thought it would help them move on as much as is possible from the loss of a child. Then of course horror stuff eventually ensues.

Great film. I did not want it to end, I wanted more. Great sfx, acting, etc. Its a bit slow to start, but its a good atmosphere during the beginning, creates the main characters' situation. Slow, but not boring. I also liked that the two main characters were middle aged and acting like a middle aged married couple. No sex scenes. Three characters were hollywood 'hot', but only one was a large part of the film. I'm so tired of the generic hot people in movies, and sick of it always being young actors. So this was an extra bonus. The film also leaves itself open to a sequel. I really hope there is one. Oh and it takes place, I think, in the 1970s.
7.5/10

Minor spoiler:
I really wish the film told us what it was that the people who built the house uncovered when they dug the basement. Alas.

Watched 2 really good ones in the past week.

Sleepy Hollow (1999)

Tim Burton put his own spin on the classic short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" with the surprisingly good 1999 adaptation Sleepy Hollow. In the movie adaptation, New York detective Ichabod Crane must travel to the mysterious Sleepy Hollow in order to solve a series of murders that took place there, but realizes the town's dark history and the legend of a headless horseman might be the true culprit. Sleepy Hollow is essentially a highly stylized slasher flicks. There are lots of gory decapitations set against a fittingly gothic tone, and although it's never truly heart-poundingly intense, there is a great atmosphere and some creepy imagery. Burton does make this movie a bit darker than his previous films (at the time), but there's still a bit of humor in its heart, mostly because of Johnny Depp's role as the Ichabod. Even though it deviates significantly from its source material, Sleepy Hollow is a fun, atmospheric movie.

8/10

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015)

Having become a much bigger fan of the original Maze Runner than I thought I'd ever be, I was hoping for some great things from The Scorch Trials, and boy, did it deliver. The Scorch Trials follows Thomas and co. after they have exited the Glade and eventually find themselves in an even more hostile environment, the Scorch. If the environment doesn't kill them, the Cranks will, zombie-like people who have contracted an apocalyptic virus. This movie deviates significantly from its predecessor; while The Maze Runner was an intense sci-fi mystery, The Scorch Trials is an action-packed thriller bent on making your pulse race from start to finish. It lacks the mystery of the first film, but the sequel makes up for it with the unpredictable and thrilling plot and visceral action scenes. It also packs a strong emotional punch. All the returning characters have been nicely developed while new characters bring exciting changes to series' pace and style, so when the final act goes completely insane, you'll really feel for what these characters go through. By improving almost every aspect of The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials becomes the rare sequel that is better than its predecessor, and I eagerly await the next installment.

Lincoln is a metalhead. He is bullied at school so one day he fights back and gets sent to a camp for troubled teenagers. Even there he gets picked on, so enters Moira, a dead teenager who went through the same..and shes willing to help him, anyway she can...blood will be shed..

Exeter 2015

3/10 D+

Exeter is a trainwreck... like a real one, not the metaphor.

Exeter is a movie-screen wildly stoned with horror clichés. Motivations, logic & story are thrown out -- it's simply fast-paced, very fast-paced. So fast-paced as to almost be a new genre, but not quite.

There's average gore, violence, swearing, jokes, but it's so fast & without sufficient framework & footing, it all seems slung from your blindspot, where one might just feel assaulted.

Its lack of logical story & gore/violence is common to a Lucio Fulci, but none of the art. Fast-paced violence like slapstick horror Peter Jackson, but no fun.

I hope this review does not pique your interest in seeing this film; unless you like that kind of stuff.

It will likely underwhelm horror fans due to bloated expectations, built up over its circuitous, two-year release, and will simply not be understood by critics who don't value exploitation cinema, but, despite the unstellar acting, annoying characters and predictable story arc, I found myself thoroughly enjoying the first true jungle cannibal film made in 30 years. The shock value doesn't come close to the Italian classics, but it still delivers more gore than you should ever expect to see at the strip mall theater down your street. And it has one thing those films never had: a sense of humor. Not recommended for movie critics, but a must-see for those who already know they must see it, and possibly interesting enough for the unsuspecting horror or adventure fan.

The Green Inferno (2013)

A movie inspired by the ultra-violent 70's Italian cannibal movies seems perfect for a director like Eli Roth. If you're not a fan of his films already, this won't win you over, but if you his brutal, tongue-in-cheek horror, The Green Inferno is a perfectly serviceable gore-fest. The Green Inferno follows Justine, a freshman in college who joins a student activist group that plans to save the Amazon rain forest. But these guys aren't just all talk: they are going to go directly to a village in Peru to rescue it from impending bulldozers before the village is destroyed, and their mission is successful. They rejoice on the plane ride back home, but their celebration is short lived as the plane crashes somewhere in the vast sea of green. Soon enough, they are taken hostage by a cannibalistic tribe and must escape before they are turned into someone's next meal. Like Roth's previous films, The Green Inferno takes its time before unleashing hell on the victims. The crew doesn't actually encounter the cannibal tribe until about 45 minutes into the plot, so when the violence comes, it really packs a punch. You'll definitely want to finish your popcorn early. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't have much of a plot after the group gets captured, so a lot of it is focused on the gruesome death scenes. I have to give credit where it's due, though. There are some really hard to watch scenes in this, and that's exactly what this movie wants. However, what makes The Green Inferno not just your average torture porn flick is how stylish it is and some darkly funny writing. The humor does sometimes get a little unnecessary at times, but there are many times where I had a laugh with the movie. Mainstream audiences won't appreciate how it homages classic cannibal flicks, but Eli Roth fans should be satisfied with a suitably nasty descent into hell.

6/10

Everest (2015)

I might not have been ready for the kind of movie I just watched because this was a deeply emotional and visceral disaster film. I was expecting a little more of a mindless action thriller than the amount thematic depth that I actually got, and it was a very memorable and intense ride. Everest dramatizes the 1996 Everest disaster that lead to the deaths of eight people, and the movie involves two groups that get caught in a violent storm while climbing Mount Everest. It actually takes a while to get to the real meat of the story. Maybe 40 minutes pass before the storm is even referenced, but the movie gets so intense and emotional during the last half that it makes up for the slow pacing of the first half. Luckily, the slower first half allows us to get to know each character, their motives to climbing the mountain and each of their backstories. The second half is so much more effective because of this. One thing that bothered me about the film were these random lapses in time that were distracting at times. One moment it would maybe be 2:30 PM, and thirty seconds later, it'll be 5:00 PM. Some of the transitions just felt choppy, but it's not such a big deal that it takes away from the film. Everest is a movie that grabs you and takes your breath away for 2 hours, and it's one that you need to see in the theater.

I'm a fan of Johnny Depp and he sure as hell didn't disappoint . Good to see him getting away from the "quirky" characters he's been saddled with as of late and get a roll with a little meat. It doesn't hurt that I'm a fan of the " gangsta " movies and especially one that hits so close to home. I think it could have been tightened up a bit more for it did seem to drag a wee bit...but surely not enough to detract from the overall enjoyment of what could be an Oscar worthy role for the aforementioned Mr. Depp.

"The Visit" 8-9/10

In my book M. Night Shyamalamadingdong's best movie in 16 years.

Lots of genuinely creepy parts. And the twist at the end.... what a surprise!!

If it hadn't been for the cringeworthy rap songs and especially the hand-held cameras this horror flick would've been close to a 10/10 for me. And the lady playing grandma should be considered an Oscar nomination. She delivered all the requirements, emotions and nudity.

On a side note, this movie must have been a long, long time in the makings, coz I could swear Ferretchucker is only about 13 years old in it. ::big grin::

I know, its not a popular opinion. The film took too much time for anything interesting to happen. 30 minutes or so? The humor was sparse and did not appear until later. I didn't care about any of the characters and the acting wasn't very good. The first part of the first transformation was great from a gore perspective, but as far as I can tell it was thrown in there to do something different without an purpose. To shock, but not in an effective way. I ended up not finishing it because I did not care what happened.

I kinda liked this film. Chloë Grace Moret was excellent. Really liked her covered in blood but the prom scene is when it lost it for me. I liked the kills and such but the 'floating' off the stage was stupid and when she went into the street, that was terrible and then tact on a idiotic ending, that all equals a 5 rating.

Everest (2015)

I might not have been ready for the kind of movie I just watched because this was a deeply emotional and visceral disaster film. I was expecting a little more of a mindless action thriller than the amount thematic depth that I actually got, and it was a very memorable and intense ride. Everest dramatizes the 1996 Everest disaster that lead to the deaths of eight people, and the movie involves two groups that get caught in a violent storm while climbing Mount Everest. It actually takes a while to get to the real meat of the story. Maybe 40 minutes pass before the storm is even referenced, but the movie gets so intense and emotional during the last half that it makes up for the slow pacing of the first half. Luckily, the slower first half allows us to get to know each character, their motives to climbing the mountain and each of their backstories. The second half is so much more effective because of this. One thing that bothered me about the film were these random lapses in time that were distracting at times. One moment it would maybe be 2:30 PM, and thirty seconds later, it'll be 5:00 PM. Some of the transitions just felt choppy, but it's not such a big deal that it takes away from the film. Everest is a movie that grabs you and takes your breath away for 2 hours, and it's one that you need to see in the theater.

8/10
Ah, and I'm guessing you didn't see it in the theatre? I'm only guessing that cause you said, "the kind of movie I just watched"; where the common vernacular for theatre viewers would be, "movie I just saw".

I haven't seen this, but I also think this is a big screen & theatre immersement type of film. One probably shouldn't be too cozy while viewing it.
-----------

I always thought it so odd for people to climb a notoriously dangerous mountain like Everest. It's so expensive, & you choose to risk taking yourself away from your family (death) -- even some climbers having young children. You risk your life like that to gain what if you make it? I'm probably being overly critical, but it seems somewhere between egregiously selfish, to subtlety suicidal.

Exists

Had high hopes but I wasn't all that captivated. It's definitely worth a watch for any Bigfoot fans and/or fans of Eduardo Sanchez, of which I am both, but Exists was just kind of alright. I did like the way they represented the 'squatch and the design was nice, but again, overall the film just lacked...oomph.

One other oddity. For the first time in my movie viewing life, the shaky cam kind of bothered me. It only happened in the daylight scenes shot n the woods, where the light shimmers and flashes, but it was making my eyes spin. Cant say that's ever happened before.

I did see it in the theater actually. In 3D IMAX too.

I don't think there's really much selfishness behind it. Some people have a passion for climbing, and they want to be as successful as possible with that hobby, so they climb Mt Everest if they think it's realistic.

He's been in the tv series Shameless as a sort of major character. Right now he's also playing a young Joker on Gotham. I'm not like a huge fan, just happens to be in things I've seen and I find his acting very good.

I'll WATCH Sleepy Hallow, seeing it for the 2nd time, soon, as it's on Netflix.

I'm a longtime fan of Tim Burton's work. Thought a remake of Sleepy Hallow was right up his alley. Although I liked the look of the film, I didn't love the film.

I SAW it at the theatre, way back when. As I recall, I didn't think it had heart -- I wasn't drawn to the characters or story. What summed up how I felt about the film was when Walken bit the woman... I was just like... "Why? Sure, why not, Burton isn't feeling this film, guess it doesn't have to make any sense".

But maybe I ate a bad Junior Mint or something, I'll see if I get a different take after all these years.

It was like one of those movies where they got a nice idea but couldn't able to executed & finished it well. After the 1st half it was like they just sadly ran out of idea & not sure how to proceed further or how to put an end to the story. At the end, it was even like an incomplete film and that was the major disappointment about Cooties.

Pretty interesting film, shot in a somewhat Memento {2000} style. The cinematography was alittle odd, no single shot lasted no more than ten seconds, add the flashbacks and the blacklighting and it sure made you pay attention to gather all the information and figure out this film. I liked it.

Plot: IMDB
In the last moments of World War II, a secret Nazi space program evaded destruction by fleeing to the Dark Side of the Moon. During 70 years of utter secrecy, the Nazis construct a gigantic space fortress with a massive armada of flying saucers.

Phantom's Review: This has got to be one of the most ridiculous movies ever made, yet it's surprisingly entertaining.. some good acting, decent FX ,plenty of humor and some sexy girls. It's a real "Leave Your Brain At The Door' movie, but it's plenty of fun.

Digging Up the Marrow 2015

A horror movie film maker receives some information from a man who claims to know there are real monsters and where they are. Its shot in documentary film style.

The main character Adam Green is played by...Adam Green. I'm assuming he's not playing himself, if he is he's a fair sized asshole. But I believe its acting and done well. The opening of the film is talking to various people at a horror con(s?) about why they like monsters. I think this takes away from the film. The feel of the segment doesn't match up with the rest of the film.
The acting is decent, again Adam Green doing a very good job of bring an unpleasant person. Ray Wise is also very good as the person who brings the story to Adam Green. Mostly the film is entertaining, but I found myself wanting the film to stop focusing on Adam Green's reactions to everything. While his character is played well, its too much of someone you're not meant to like. I do not want to say much because the premise is a man wants to prove there are monsters and anything I might say could indicate if it ends up being true, a hoax, a little of each, etc. Its worth at least one watch, I'd recommend it. $3.99 at www.vudu.com.

If you don't know much about metal music, some of the jokes will be lost on you. But if you can enjoy bloody horror comedies in general, I'm sure this can entertain you too.
