Baskin (2015)

The market for international artsy horror flicks has been surprisingly lucrative in the past few years, with acclaimed films like The Babadook and Goodnight Mommy and even the American productions It Follows and The Witch. But probably the most imaginative and gory one of them all is the Turkish export, Baskin, an ultra-violent and bizarre descent into Hell with a capital "H." In Baskin, a police squad is called to an abandoned building in a neighborhood surrounded by rumors and hearsay. When they enter the building, they unwittingly stumble upon a black mass intent on sending the lawmakers straight to Hell. The narrative of Baskin is a bit of a mess. At times, it's difficult to figure out how certain things connect to each other or what they represent, and I saw the ending coming from a mile away. However, the blurring between reality and fantasy is one of my favorite staples of the horror genre. I love horror movies where you're not completely sure what's real and what's not, and this one illustrated the descent into Hell in a beautifully brutal fashion. The visual aspect of Baskin certainly gives the movie an art-film quality. Director Can Evrenol makes everything from a car crash to a man's intestines being ripped out look stunning. Even if the film's internal logic is difficult to follow and the ending is predictable, Baskin is a nightmarish and inventive Turkish horror film that will give gorehounds a more cerebral torture fest than most.

What an amazing doco on the life of Jim VanBebber. The footage of him at cons, making movies, as a child were absolutely fantastic. There was so much I didn't know. ::love:: What a wonderful and talented guy. I love him...more. They showed behind the scenes of Gator Green, Jim at work directing and yeah..I was blown away. I got to see Bone Crusher and some bits with Stephen Biro. You can watch this over and over and learn and see more. Best DVD I bought. Props to Mr. Bonacore. Beautifully pieced together. Thankyou for making this.

#Horror (2015)

Social media and bullying are scary enough to be the perfect backdrop of a challenging horror film. Last year's Unfriended took that idea, mixed it with a revenge story and an inventive use of storytelling to create a stirring horror film about the effects of cyberbullying. Then there's #Horror, a failed satire of social media that feels more like a slap on the wrist than the provoking it was trying to be. #Horror follows six preteen girls who live in the high society of money, success and comfort. One night, their compulsive addiction to social media turns a moment of cyberbullying into a night of chaos. The movie is exactly as preachy as that synopsis sounds and just as annoying as the middle schoolers in it. What #Horror never quite figures out is if it's trying to be an allegory for the dangers of social media, an actual horror film, or a lesson on why pre teen girls are bitches. Those themes never mix with each other in a cohesive way and instead battle each other throughout the whole movie. One moment will have smart phone animations barraging the screen, the next scene will have some random act of bullying, and then the movie remembers it's supposed to be a horror film and for two seconds, you see the girls being filmed by someone. I mean, the movie is called #Horror. There should be a little more horror than a couple of shots in the first hour and then a few poorly filmed kill scenes at the end. What Unfriended did right was not let up on the social media aspect of the film during its scarier moments. #Horror just sends mixed messages about what movie it's trying to be. Director Tara Subkoff presents timely themes and a glimmer of potential from her confident direction. Unfortunately, instead of being provocative and subversive, #Horror just ends up being annoying and pretentious.

An R-Rated animated movie is nice for a change.
It wasn't great or anything. The story and the pace is so and so, the colours were a little too dark imo, even for Hell. But the combination of voice actors and the jokes made it quite enjoyable. Makes me looking forward to Sausage Party that's coming out later this year.

Has anyone managed to finish this movie without falling asleep? Anyone in the world? I highly doubt it.

It COULD have been a good horror movie as it did contain few moments of creative goodness. Sadly these few moments were drowned in a boring drama that was going nowhere about a boring girl you couldn't care less about. FAIL!!

The Invitation

Surprisingly good. A bit predictable, but it does not ruin the film. Most of the acting was decent, it was mostly low key so there wasn't call for strong performances. Tammy Blanchard was the best out of all of them. The pace was good too. Lots of conversation which might turn people off, but it worked in this film. Sometimes it was the entire group talking and sometimes separate conversations. The film moved around a lot from each conversation so they didn't seem to drag on. I guess half of the very end, but not the other half which was great. Though Logan Marshall-Green really needed to trim his beard. It was too distracting, lessening the impact of his reactions. As always, purposely vague so as not to ruin the film.

6.5/10

Oh and also I think its a good movie to watch by yourself in the dark. Not to scare yourself, but to immerse yourself in the watching.

It's about what you like too. I liked Green Slime when I was 12. Actually, the first 30 mins is cool. Has an interesting Japanese style. But it's not very good.

The Killer Shrews is actually fairly exciting, and exactly what you were asking for. It has a cool look to it, claustrophobic. Some early acting and dialogue is bad, but it starts rolling. It's only 70 mins. The last half is the best. It has a rep as bad film.

Fiend Without a Face is actually a good old horror/scfi classic. It's by far the best of the three. The stop motion animation is very cool.

-The Mist.
-Feast 2 and 3: they're trapped at times.
Or there are two groups of people trapped in different places. Don't remember.
-Critters 1 and 3 but you've probably seen those already.

The following are about people trapped with the danger already inside:
-Let Us Prey: Small jail in a police station, some criminals and a mysterious stranger.
-Devil: people trapped inside an elevator with the Devil. I like this movie and think it's quite underrated.
-The Collection: people trapped in a psycho's booby trapped building.
-Botched is about a thief trapped in a building with bunch of weirdos.
Yeah, they're other people but from what I remember they're interesting characters and not the average bunch of humans.

Ghost Ship

Brought from the people who brought us 13 Ghosts (yay!) and House on Haunted Hill (oh shit...)! I enjoyed the story and effects of this much better than I did 13 Ghosts actually. Sad though that there weren't as many effects, the two preview images on the back are almost literally all the movie offers, so there's nothing new for us to enjoy. They also don't waste much time in getting to the scares, but the opening scene is so attention grabbing, you don't really care. It quenches your scare thirst until things start building up for the climax, and there were so many and so subtle, I couldn't take my eyes away from the screen. Very enjoyable flick.

Rewatch. Disappointing. Some of the actors were ok, but mostly they did not evoke emotion. Quite a few cheesy scenes that I guess are supposed to be filler/profound which of course they were not. It seems like either the director and writer(same person) felt they had to put in a lot of overused scenes or the backer of the film made him put them in. Noticable sfx were used sparingly and not well.

White God (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2844798/) (2014)

http://i64.tinypic.com/j10xs7.jpg

The story follows Lili & her dog Hagen. As her mother going on a long trip to Australia, she left her to live with her estranged father Daniel; who works in a meat/animal processing farm & can't much stand the dog around for various reasons. And eventually Lili got devastated when her father forcefully sets Hagen free on the streets and soon the homeless pet realize how much uncertain life can be in its every steps in the cruel world outside. The story gradually then took a sad but scary progression of Hagen's descent into madness through various masters & captors including the forced training of how to kill in dog fights. But at the end...every dog has its day!

This multiple award winning Hungarian film not only just a revenge fantasy about animal cruelty but also effectively depicts a symbolic portrayal of abused underclass and a cornered downtrodden rising up against the oppressors.

The Huntsman: Winter's War (2016)

I typically don't see a movie solely for its cast, but I couldn't pass up a movie with Jessica Chastain, Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt and Chris Hemsworth. Winter's War certainly isn't the best thing these actors have done in their careers, but it's still a fairly entertaining twist on the Snow White tale. The Huntsman acts as a prequel and sequel to 2012's Snow White and the Huntsman, which I regrettably hadn't seen before I watched this, and it follows an escalating battle between the Ice Queen, Freya, and her sister, Ravenna. Freya's former Huntsman, Eric and, fellow warrior, Sara, who were raised to protect Freya, have to conceal their forbidden love while combat Ravenna's intentions to take back Snow White's kingdom. Despite the campy writing and plot inconsistencies, I still found quite a bit to enjoy about Winter's War. Watching Charlize Theron be a badass as the Evil Queen was ridiculously entertaining. There's also the beautiful cinematography, costumes, visual effects and *ahem* Chris Hemsworth that made the movie visually stunning. The campy writing also isn't so bad that it goes into cheese territory. It's fairly self aware and fun while not taking itself overly seriously. The plot is a bit more of a fantasy romance with some action in it, but Jessica Chastain and Chris Hemsworth give their characters some life so that you do want to see them succeed by the time the movie is over. The Huntsman: Winter's War is fairly slight entertainment, but it's got a great cast, characters, stunning visuals and a lot of fun.

Alright, I'll be brief 'cause its online and I try to avoid debates online 'cause people hide behind their computer connections and act like arseholes.

Basically you rarely see men as strippers in movies. Its always women of a fairly specific body type. Movies usually make stripping out to be a sexy fun time for the viewers and the women. From what I've read women get into stripping due to poverty. Often also prostituting themselves.
Teenagers will be seeing Dead Pool and other movies like it. Along with magazines, advertisements, etc they're fed this unreal/false ideal of females, what they look like, and they all want to fuck you. Adults too see this sort of thing constantly. It rewires your brain.

There's a lot more, but like I said don't wanna start a debate.

The Breed (2001)
Vampires not dogs. Do people even know of this movie's existence? It's not by critic standards a good movie (I should really review it sometime to point this out, but if you watched it I think you would see why), but God help me I love this movie... Nay, I adore it. Call it a guilty pleasure I guess. The broody atmosphere with the characters they throw in... I got so obsessed with this thing I actually watched it with commentary once, and you kind of get the feel that these people had fun with this shitfest. I'm just so glad I bought the VHS. Now I have proper background noise. ..If I can keep it as just noise and not pay too much attention to it when I need to.

It's the internet. It's what debates are for. I'm sorry if I appear like an asshole. I know I'm quite blunt and I like to take the piss but I do appreciate a decent discussion.

Back to the movie.
I think you mostly see female strippers because most men like females, so they tend to go to female strip clubs. That's just logic imo.
I agree on the body type. But that's considered beauty to the average person so again I think it's logical.
Stripping is supposed to be fun for the viewers. I think that's the point of stripping.
In most movies I've seen they don't make it seem fun for the women.
Maybe in PG-13 movies or stuff like that but that's because they don't deal with the harsh reality. They're meant to be lighthearted and entertaining.
You say movies, magazines, advertisments have a bad influence on people.
True. That's the way the world is. Teenagers are stupid. Adults are stupid. People in general are feckin' stupid. That's it.
But you're letting your personal opinion get in the way of enjoying a movie.
And that's too bad.
It's a movie. An action-comedy. Not a raw drama. So why expect realism?
Why watch movies in general? There's probably something unreal in every movie.

I don't even remember a stripper in Dead Pool. And I've seen the movie twice. ::big grin::

From what I've read women get into stripping due to poverty.

Baskin (2015)

The market for international artsy horror flicks has been surprisingly lucrative in the past few years, with acclaimed films like The Babadook and Goodnight Mommy and even the American productions It Follows and The Witch. But probably the most imaginative and gory one of them all is the Turkish export, Baskin, an ultra-violent and bizarre descent into Hell with a capital "H." In Baskin, a police squad is called to an abandoned building in a neighborhood surrounded by rumors and hearsay. When they enter the building, they unwittingly stumble upon a black mass intent on sending the lawmakers straight to Hell. The narrative of Baskin is a bit of a mess. At times, it's difficult to figure out how certain things connect to each other or what they represent, and I saw the ending coming from a mile away. However, the blurring between reality and fantasy is one of my favorite staples of the horror genre. I love horror movies where you're not completely sure what's real and what's not, and this one illustrated the descent into Hell in a beautifully brutal fashion. The visual aspect of Baskin certainly gives the movie an art-film quality. Director Can Evrenol makes everything from a car crash to a man's intestines being ripped out look stunning. Even if the film's internal logic is difficult to follow and the ending is predictable, Baskin is a nightmarish and inventive Turkish horror film that will give gorehounds a more cerebral torture fest than most.

Average film. The scenes shot outside of the house are lovely. The acting was acceptable, but not special. Something that almost made me stop the film was the choice of characters. The situation they're thrust into, awaking on a beach and finding a house their only refuge, does not lend itself to their reactions. For example, one woman is the 'stuck up bitch' archetype. She'd just woken up on a beach, no idea how she arrived there. One moment in a dance venue, next on the beach and yet she's a relaxed snarky. Not scared/traumatized defensive. Also 3 of the 5 characters were pristine while two come out soaked.
Its a typical find out why we're here when we have no idea why film. Putting clues together and so forth. I do not want to say, so as not to ruin the film more except that the ending was actually a nice surprise.

New Nightmare (1994)

I've heard this called the best Nightmare on Elm Street sequel and some have even called it better than the original Nightmare film. I can't say it's any of those things, but New Nightmare is one of the better movie in one of my favorite horror movie franchises and a refreshing entry after the abysmal Freddy's Dead. New Nightmare departs from Springwood, Ohio and instead takes place in the "real" world. Heather Langenkamp, the actress who played Nancy in the original film, is now a married mother, and she is contacted by Wes Craven to be in the definitive final Nightmare on Elm Street film. However, Heather has been having increasingly terrifying nightmares and phone calls that sound suspiciously like the films' iconic villain, Freddy Krueger. Her son's disturbing behavior also leads her to believe that the script that Wes is writing may not be just another movie. Arguably the best part about New Nightmare is all the nods and winks to the original film sprinkled in there. The phone gag from the first one is in there (which I admit still scared the crap out of me), and a majority of the deaths are reminiscent of other deaths in the series, particularly Tina's infamous death from the first movie and the motorcycle kill from The Dream Child. Wes Craven and Robert Englund also make cameo appearances in the film, although their subplots just sort of fizzle out towards the end. I also wasn't a big fan of Freddy trying to get a hold of Heather's son. The "creepy kid" scenes didn't really unsettle me and instead came off as hammy. But Wes obviously had a lot of fun with New Nightmare and ended the series with a clever take on the slasher film that would be replicated in the future with flops like Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2. Personally, the criminally underrated The Dream Master will always be my favorite Nightmare sequel, but New Nightmare is a fun and sporadically scary slasher flick.

Captain America - Civil War

Yknow, I think I enjoyed this a touch better than the other "VS" film this year...
Wasn't bad. They did a fairly good job compressing the events of the civil war storyline into one feature film, while tying it into the existing movie continuity.
I'm assuming the events in this movie are very much "to be continued" though, perhaps another film under the civil war banner?

Anyways, for me this was probably Marvels best since Winter Soldier which I currently rank pretty highly.
It felt like the most "full circle" of the MCU stuff to date.
The surprise character that I'm sure everyone is aware of by now, did feel a touch "forced" into the storyline, but hey, it is what it is - he was for the better part enjoyable to watch and probably captured the persona better than any other attempts have managed - and the fighting style. Great.

It was a solid movie though. More Avengers 2.5 than as standalone a Cap film as winter soldier...but all in all, very well tied together, and the depth of character interactions and relationships grew.
It was jarring at times, actually pretty emotional at others.

The action sequences were without peer.
The hero on hero stuff wasn't bad.
The villain/s might not be what you'd expect either, but not in a bad way.

I feel like they did a great job here.

"The Witch" 6-7/10

The acting was the highlight of the movie. Especially the boy was damn good. If he wants to continue acting he might have a bright future ahead of him.

Then there's the rest of the movie. Well, considering it was made on a budget of 3,5 million dollars, the director and cinematographer managed to make it look far more expensive.
Sadly, the most disappointing about The Witch was the story that was slow and not very deep, and really just underwhelming throughout.

But the acting was good.

[Repo'd]

Finally broke down and watched Let Me In, the Americanized version of the wonderful swedish film. Let The Right One In.

It has none of the original's subtlety and, of course, this flaw turns the characters into cookie cutter poop.

Overrated. It all looked good and the acting's good but that's it.

Ghost of Mars - Now I Get it Review!

I've been watching / listening to this movie on demand and now I finally get it. This was my old review of it.

Ghosts of Mars -

I watched this movie years ago but after seeing The Ward I wanted to see it again. Perhaps it would come off better. But it still doesn't. Something is off about the movie. I can't name it exactly. It has similar themes to other Carpenter movies. The cast is good. You have Jackie Brown, The Transporter, one of the girls from The Faculty, and of course Natasha Henstridge. She looks hot in this movie and it's a better movie for her than those Species movies. But the movie might be played too serious. There are movies like Doomsday and Planet Terror which were inspired by Carpenter movies that are more fun than this movie. Perhaps it's the number of flashbacks. The movie has to get the award for the most flashback scenes I've ever seen. I could see how they might be seen as clever. But at times some make the movie feel slow. And a few probably could have been cut. Or handled better. At the end there is no true resolution to the problem. Or the characters aren't smart enough to realize what saved Natasha's character. So you still have the potential of people getting easily infected. Then when you have them gearing up for another battle that should be fun and exciting. A sequel to look forward to. As it will be the battle to save the city. Or end of the world scenario like many other Carpenter movies like The Thing, They Live, etc. But it doesn't come off as fun or exciting.

But now I realize what this movie is and how it works. It's like a Night of the Living Dead type with a sci-fi comic book movie twist. If I saw this movie back when I saw Night of the Living Dead 1990, I would probably like it even more. Back when I originally watched Ghost of Mars, I don't think I realized how cool the actress that played Jackie Brown is. She was in a bunch of old action movies. So her as the leader of this group of space cops is supposed to be another cool role for her. Jason Statham is the wise cracking cop like the Hudson character in Aliens. Of course this is before The Transporter but here you can see how cool the guy will be. And Natasha Henstridge is almost like the MacReady character from The Thing. She doesn't want to be bothered but takes up the lead when trouble hits. I think most know Natasha Henstridge from Species. I never liked those movies that much. I thought the Species Alien design was a rip off of Alien. I didn't know that they were by the same designer. But this is probably the best movie I've seen Natasha Henstridge in. Ice Cube is the bad ass prisoner, like Snake Plissken in from Escape from New York. Once things go crazy, they need him to get out of there.

I still don't think Ghosts of Mars is as fun as Doomsday. But Doomsday took so much from Carpenter and other movies of that time. Ghosts of Mars is just a few twists on the formula. At the end, I think we are supposed to want to see a continuation in comic book or other format. Like how Ice Cube's Desolation Williams character (I love that name) smiles at the screen. This is supposed to be a fun time at the movies. And unlike zombies getting inside a house, which is scary, this is supposed to be both fun and scary. A good movie to watch in the middle of the night.

**MINOR SPOILERS WARNING**

I understand your frustration. The thing is (according to wikipedia) the original title of it was The Cellar; then it seems they thought the idea can serve as a cashing in opportunity following the success of original CLOVERFIELD (2008) and labeled or calling it as a "Spiritual Sequel"(a successor to a work of fiction that does not build upon the storyline established by a previous work as do most traditional prequels or sequels, yet features some or many of the same elements, themes, and styles as its source material, thereby resulting in it being related or similar "in spirit" to its predecessor).
Therefore, other than having an alien invasion sort of apocalyptic scenario & the name 'Cloverfield' in its title, there weren't much similarities actually lies between the two films but still there is a little chance that may be a future sequel can give the answer(s) and bring some ties between these films.

But yeah...it'd be better to be a standalone film other than releasing it sort of a loose sequel of a popular flick. I enjoyed it. Liked the character driven, bit psychologically twisted story.

One man's trash is another man's treasure...

Don't know about the target audience for Deadpool.
I'd like to think it's aimed at adults too. People who are fed up with the watered down bloodless action, non-swearing adults and stupid decisions. Spoiler "Like letting the bad guy live. I was so happy Deadpool killed the bad guy. And I laughed out loud when Colossus puked." That's a logical decision followed by a natural, realistic reaction.
I appreciate stuff like that. But I'm wired a little differently so I pay attention to or care about certain things others might find trivial.

THE WINTER SOLDIER raised the bar for Russo brothers just 2 years ago and yet again they have accomplished another major Marvel project so much wonderfully this time also. Though very critically if I say, this may not be a flawless entertainer for everyone but just for those edge of your seat, intense action-o-graphy, Marvel fans can easily overlook the very few minor issues the story carried till the end. Where Black Panther steals the show at the first half, the Ant-Man & the Spidy comes with the surprise packages at the 2nd. I think after the first Avengers movie, this is another great show of Marvel superheroes where more or less each & every character got their fair amount of even brief screen time so effectively. Just go & watch it for that more than 15 minutes long 'Battle at the Airport' part...man! that was freaking awesome!

"What We Become" 7/10

A danish zombie flick, which makes it the 10th danish horror movie all together, or something like that.

Nothing special really. Best part of it was the build-up in the first third of the movie where everything is cozy and peaceful. Then, along with the action, the story slowly fell apart, leaving an unsatisfying ending. Whole thing felt like a pilot to a danish Walking Dead, which I really don't hope is the case as most of the horror in this one was either implied or talked about. Yaaaay..

But the worst part of What We Become was the casting of the lead actor playing the son, who seemed like the most rookie and wooden of the cast and his character was just so damn.. douchebagged. Oh well, I'm sure he got his attitude from his mother who was just a grumpy bitch all along.

So if you're a zombie nut give it a try, if not skip it.

[Baron Von Marlon]

In this exquisitely made and terrifying new horror film, the age-old concepts of witchcraft, black magic and possession are innovatively brought together to tell the intimate and riveting story of one family's frightful unraveling in the New England wilderness circa 1630. New England, 1630. Upon threat of banishment by the church, an English farmer leaves his colonial plantation, relocating his wife and five children to a remote plot of land on the edge of an ominous forest - within which lurks an unknown evil. Strange and unsettling things begin to happen almost immediately - animals turn malevolent, crops fail, and one child disappears as another becomes seemingly possessed by an evil spirit. With suspicion and paranoia mounting, family members Klovn Forever putlocker (http://putlocker123.com/334-klovn-forever.html) accuse teenage daughter Thomasin of witchcraft, charges she adamantly denies. As circumstances grow more treacherous, each family member's faith, loyalty and love become tested in shocking and unforgettable ways. Writer/director Robert Eggers' debut feature, which premiered to great acclaim at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival - winning the Best Director Prize in the U.S. Narrative Competition - painstakingly recreates a God-fearing New England decades before the 1692 Salem witch trials, in which religious convictions tragically turned to mass hysteria. Told through the eyes of the adolescent Thomasin - in a star-making turn by newcomer Anya Taylor-Joy - and supported by mesmerizing camera work and a powerful musical score, The Witch is a chilling and groundbreaking new take on the genre.

The Witch 2016

Decent. The music accompanying the first few scenes...the, i assume, violins did not fit at all. It seemed like the director thought "hey let's throw some vaguely scary music in" without thinking about the interaction with the scenes. Maybe people who do not watch horror films very often and have a preconceived idea what horror films are like would think it fits. The acting from the children was surprisingly good while the mother and father were just mediocre. Other comments...SPOILERS FOR THE FILM FOLLOWING THESE WORDS IN ALL CAPS...the film was too slow in some parts and the horrific scenes were glaringly abrupt. The mother's nipple being pecked at by the raven/crow, the witch hissing at the twins were not seamless. Wasted opportunity for extending these scenes. Being spare with a chosen scene can be done right, but the choices here were amateurish. Also at the end when Thomasin(sp?) conjures the devil it did not fit. She sincerely fights against being declared a witch. She's distraught by the disappearances and death. Then out of no where she calls the devil, signs her name to his book, and goes happily to dance nude with other witches that are randomly gathered far from civilization. Does not seem plausible to me.

SPOILERS END

Overall I think it is worth at least one viewing. I do not think I'll watch it again.

Predictable. Jump scares that were very tame. Boring characters. Predictable ending. Boring scenes.

Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension

Basically the same plot of the first film with some alterations. The 'bro' brother was irritating as fuck. Not necessarily the actor, but the character. There was some cool effects, but the way characters reacted to some of them did not make sense. Also the parents hovering over their daughter to protect her was inconsistent. Acting was meh. Dialogue meh. I was able to finish it so it wasn't terrible, but I would not recommend it.

BBC DRACULA 2006

In this adaption, dracula is brought to England by an "illuminati" type group known as the brotherhood of the undead. There are still the main players but the story is quite different.

Enjoyable enough, I suppose.

[horcrux2007]

I've got two movies that are political-thriller-drama kind of movies.

Gattaca (1997)

Uma Thurman pre-Bride and Ethan Hawke pre-stuck doing every Blumhouse movie star in a high-concept thriller about the human eugenics controversy. Gattaca takes place in the near future where "designer babies" are a social norm where parents can choose the most desirable traits of their unborn babies (athletic, tall, intelligent, etc.), and people with undesirable genetics are discriminated against. One man, Vincent, has dreams of space travel, but because of his inferior genetics, he is relegated to being the janitor at the Gattaca Aerospace Corporation. A chance of a lifetime comes his way when an employee at Gattaca offers to allow Vincent to assume his identity for a trip Titan. However, the murder of the mission director and a blooming romance with another employee threaten to reveal Vincent's true identity. Gattaca deftly blends its more dramatic moments with unique sci-fi thrills to give a smart little thriller. Although, because of its lofty ambitions and concept, the plot has to force some things to just work out so that it can keep moving forward. A couple of these instances could have been more thoroughly explained in a short scene since the running time isn't terribly long anyway. Another tiny issue is that the reveal of the murderer is pretty anticlimactic. With all the buildup, you'd expect a big surprise, but when it's revealed, it's quickly acknowledged and then forgotten about. The best thing about Gattaca, though, is its incredible writing. There's a lot of quotable lines that I'm sure have led to its status as a cult flick. Along with its ambitious ideas and engrossing plot, Gattaca is a taut, memorable cult sci-fi thriller.

7/10

Money Monster (2016)

Last year's The Big Short told the real-life story of the people that profited from the stock market crash in the late 2000's. It was funny, biting and just a little infuriating. Money Monster, on the other hand, goes for a simpler approach with a real-time hostage thriller. Money Monster stars George Clooney as financial TV host Lee Gates (an obvious riff on Jim Cramer from Mad Money) who is airing his latest edition of his show, you guessed it, Money Monster. Just 24 hours before, IBIS Global Capital's stock inexplicably crashed due to a glitch in a trading algorithm. A viewer of Gates' show, Kyle Budwell, loses all of his money due to a bad tip from Gates saying that IBIS' stock is "safer than your bank account." Halfway through Gates' show, Kyle gets onto the set and threatens Gates at gunpoint, forcing him to put on a bomb vest. Kyle wants answers, and if he doesn't get them, he'll blow up Gates before killing himself. Julia Roberts also stars as the show's director who attempts to get everyone out of the bomb threat from behind the scenes. Money Monster conjures up some great thrills from a reliably game cast, especially Jack O'Connell who plays 99%'er Kyle. There's also quite a bit of dark humor to give the more intense parts some edge while still not detracting from the movie's tone. It's a simple, timely and contained thriller that should give adults some respite from the myriad of PG-13 fare that is in the theaters so often.

I remember going in thinking rather the opposite. I knew it'd be trash, but I had hoped. After I saw the characters, I had really really hoped it would end up being okay. But there was so little focus on them that we come out knowing nothing about them and don't give a rat's happy ass if they end up getting ate or not.

Bite 2015

All acting was fairly bad except the main actress who was mediocre until she begins to change and then she's awesome.

Huge plot holes.

Story was barely tolerable.

Redemption: The sfx/gore. Not sure if its strictly 'gore', but it was really well done. Do not want to ruin anything for people who haven't seen it. If you can make it past the over used scenes with women in bikinis saying 'wooooooooo!' a lot and once things start happening it becomes more worth it. Without the sfx/gore the movie would be not worth the effort.

Maybe I was just in a good mood, but I thought it was sharp, well paced and kept on the edge of my seat.

Of course he could have killed her when he was standing right behind her in the beginning... He's got a freakin crossbow! he's not into easy, he's into challenge, and chase. Did you miss that whole concept? Once you accept that, I thought it played out fairly realistic, padding in some of those messing-with-you horror concepts.

What liked most was it stayed focused on what it was. The character development was very focused... they just told you about things they were gong to use later on. Very Hitchcockian focus. You missed it, Chump!

Not creepy or scary but still somewhat a strange ghost story with limited set up & production values. At the beginning it was little incoherent but liked the way with back & forth story line treatment it revealed the mystery slowly. It had few interesting ideas and wanted to be something big like The Shining but eventually fails to reach that height. Not bad for an unknown horror flick but don't expect too much.

It was fast paced, I give you that. The whole movie was just so damn mediocre and the killer was just so damn plain looking. Why the hell did he remove that mask? That was the only thing that made the movie a little bit interesting and different. And why was the woman deaf-mute? She might as well not have been as her handicap didn't really come into play that much other than during the first kill.

Yes you're right, I totally missed the Hitchcokian brilliantness of the movie. ::roll eyes::

Finishable, but obviously directed at teens due to plot holes and apparently the invading army are filled with soldiers that can't hit anything. It pushes the suspension of disbelief too far. Also the moral dilemma of the characters is what I think would be called...'hand wringing'? Its annoying. Its worth one watch I suppose. The kind of movie to watch when you're really sick, stuck on a couch, and want to watch something that doesn't require much thought or emotional investment. Unless you're a teenager. Horrorcrux obviously not included in that category due to being smart with refined taste. ;P

The Darkness (2016)

Sometimes, a bad horror movie can have some redeeming quality to make it at least watchable for its runtime even if you'll forget about it the next day. Then, about once a year, the stars align, Wes Craven rolls in his grave, and a movie like The Darkness limps into theaters, a horror flick that's so inept at everything it tries to accomplish that it only triggers catcalls from the audience. In The Darkness, the whitest family I've ever seen goes on a family trip to the Grand Canyon, and by some ridiculous series of events, the son brings back five rocks that have Native American demons inside them. The family is now haunted by some incredibly convoluted curse, and demon stuff happens. I can't even say anything specific because nothing really scary happens to this family. Every single scare is just a door opening, the faucet turning on, a dog nonchalantly walking down a hallway, or handprints appearing on the wall. There aren't any scares because every time something that resembles a shock comes along that thing isn't scary! It's a faucet! The only thing that came out of the faucet was a little bit of water, they didn't even try to put blood or black crap coming out of it or anything! And then in an effort to save this god forsaken atrocity, they try to put some stupid family drama in the plot that's referenced once and never mentioned again. The daughter has bullimia?

The Darkness (2016)

Sometimes, a bad horror movie can have some redeeming quality to make it at least watchable for its runtime even if you'll forget about it the next day. Then, about once a year, the stars align, Wes Craven rolls in his grave, and a movie like The Darkness limps into theaters, a horror flick that's so inept at everything it tries to accomplish that it only triggers catcalls from the audience. In The Darkness, the whitest family I've ever seen goes on a family trip to the Grand Canyon, and by some ridiculous series of events, the son brings back five rocks that have Native American demons inside them. The family is now haunted by some incredibly convoluted curse, and demon stuff happens. I can't even say anything specific because nothing really scary happens to this family. Every single scare is just a door opening, the faucet turning on, a dog nonchalantly walking down a hallway, or handprints appearing on the wall. There aren't any scares because every time something that resembles a shock comes along that thing isn't scary! It's a faucet! The only thing that came out of the faucet was a little bit of water, they didn't even try to put blood or black crap coming out of it or anything! And then in an effort to save this god forsaken atrocity, they try to put some stupid family drama in the plot that's referenced once and never mentioned again. The daughter has bullimia? Who cares, put black handprints on her! Mom has a drinking problem? Might as well have the faucet turn back on! Not to mention there are several characters that enter the plot for two scenes and then mysteriously disappear. I've never seen a horror movie so incompetent at every single basic aspect of filmmaking. I can't pinpoint one exact reason why I hate this movie so much other than the sole reason that it exists.

"Lady of Csejte" 3/10

A movie about a woman serial killer who kills children.

Wasn't horror. More of a children's movie actually. Dull..

[RollinFan]

Trip to Bhangarh - Bollywood horror, OK if you like that sort of thing. I don't. 5/10
The Veil - more found footage instead of flashbacks 7/10
Marianne - The Ghost Inside - so many flashbacks I got lost 7/10
The Sacred - they should have made the main character an exotic dancer, then the first half might have made sense 6/10
Kung Fu and Titties - needed more Kung Fu 5/10

Beneath Loch Ness
Jesus H Christ this had THE WORST CGI. I'm not even exaggerating. They couldn't even film at an actual train station. It was fucking photoshopped. Didn't even add a shadow, an art student in their first semester would've done better! Also, CGI rocks is just fucking lazy. ::mad::

HELLBOY (2004). Really like a lot of Del Toro's work (especially THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE), but really had a hard time getting through this. Good CGI and actors, but just found the title character to be The Thing (FANTASTIC FOUR) and for me, it just doesn't gel. *

Yes, the whole thing felt like an adult comedy disguised as a children's Cartoon movie. Nice.

At one time the bunny was called Plug Butt, if I heard it correctly. ::big grin::

With Heaven & Hell and the upcoming Sausage Party I think we're finally getting more adult cartoon movies.

The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014)

Alzheimer's is a terrifying and devastating disease that would put any horror movie to shame by itself, unless, of course, it also causes someone to be possessed by a demon. The Taking of Deborah Logan is a sort of cross between the mockumentary "lost in the woods" style of The Blair Witch Project and the haunted house security cameras of Paranormal Activity to make a frequently scary and engrossing little gem. The Taking of Deborah Logan follows, you guessed it, three filmmakers who are making a documentary, but this time it's about Alzheimer's. They got to the home of the proper and elderly Deborah Logan to film her life with the disease while her daughter, Sarah Logan, also gives commentary on how Deborah's condition has affected her. As weeks pass and Deborah's mental state deteriorates, the four believe that something else might have latched onto her dwindling mind. The film starts out giving some backstory to both Deborah and Sarah with small explanations of the disease along the way. It does make the dynamic between the two more compelling especially towards the end of the movie when Deborah is completely possessed. Although, this movie does fall victim to one little pet peeve of mine. Something that comes up in a couple of found footage movies that makes no logical sense to me is that, why would the footage be edited to include music or any extra effects that aren't on camera? In The Taking, they added little animations illustrating the disease or parts of a documentary they were watching. Why would they take the time to edit all of that in there when, by the time the movie is over, it's obviously not going to be a documentary anymore? There's also the fact that there are obvious sound effects whenever there's a jump scare. Speaking of jump scares, something I enjoyed immensely about The Taking were several scenes in which you'd expect an obvious jump scare and instead the scene just relied on its atmosphere. Those scenes are far scarier than any of the jump scenes, and although I like a good jump scare, they need to be earned. Jill Larson is incredible as Deborah Logan and is definitely one of the better "spooky old ladies" I've seen in a horror movie. The absorbing plot also distinguishes this from being just another possession flick. The Taking of Deborah Logan is a fun and creepy Netflix gem and a must-watch for found footage fans.

Dude, there was a bigass pea under your eight-stacked-high mattress when you saw Hellboy... cause it's all kind of interesting weird good warm hearted love fun. On any other day you would have really liked it, like a fine champagne with angel food cake, strawberries and whooped cream.

I'd suggest the second Hellboy over the first.

I have no idea what I just watched. The story sounded great but then they had some narrator taking away all the focus and telling us about the main character rather than letting him show us himself what he was. Took away all suspense. Also could've used more effects that stuck around longer.

Didn't the narrator told you what you watched? :p

I think it's a good movie.
Original, cool scenery, decent score, "unhappy" ending,...

"The Do Over" 6/10

It was nice to see another person than Sandler in the lead role for a change, even tho he came in very close second. The guy playing the tall swedish/german guy was the funniest person in the movie, not the two leads. And then there was Paula Patton who was just really, really hot.

The story was so-so and kinda lost my interest halfway through as it wasn't really going anywhere. But the ending had a refreshing serious twist which is new for a Sandler flick.

If Disney made a gory werewolf movie, threw in some explicit sexual implications and an R rating..this would be it. I think.
