Meh. I didn't like the voice of Pennywise at all, although some of his actions and scenes were okay.
CGI, present. ::roll eyes:: He looked cartoonish sometimes.... Felt like a child's movie hence one of the brats from Stranger Things is in this. I'll check out the second chapter when they are adults for sure.

I really enjoyed this. I found it as faithful as it could be to the source material as a 2 and half hour movie would allow. I was disappointed to not see more of the backstories of characters like Ben and Mike whose roles were significantly lowered but all of the actors captured the essence of the characters.

Bill Skarsgard was excellent as Pennywise. A great combination of scary and disturbingly playful. I found his performance to be much more accurate to the book.

I do wish they had been able to add in more of the cosmic stuff that pertains to Pennywise as someone who hasnt read the book would probably only see IT as a ancient monster. Hopefully they'll be able to touch on this more in the second one, it will make more sense to do it then anyway.

The scares were great, the actors all did a great job creating this wonderful group of kids. They all really nail the characters from the novel and make you care about them and enjoy watching them together. Their bond is showcased well.

I would go see this in the theater again, i really enjoyed myself and i strongly recommend seeing it.

DANNY SAYS (2016). When he stops talking about his sexual preferences/experiences and drug use, this auto doc of Danny Fields who worked in several music publications and with many bands is OK. Other than The Doors, most of the bands he was closely associated when were ahead of their time and while critics loved them, no public appreciation until way later; ie The MC5, The Stooges, The New York Dolls and The Ramones. ***

[Lord Voldemort]

Dead Awake. For a moderately budgeted horror film it wasn't to bad. It had an Intresting plot based on the legend of the mare and it's role in sleep paralysis and it's execution and monster was well done.

I thought it was alright.
Relied maybe a touch too heavily on the percussive element to the scares?
Atmosphere ok.
Kid actors, personally I thought the original cast did better but they were fine.
I found something about the chick reminded me of Jamie Lee Curtis.
The new guy didn't quite have the presence of Tim Curry but he did ok for a different version of the character. I felt like TC version seemed to enjoy toying with/tormenting his kids a bit more?
All in all pretty solid. Funny in parts. Shocking in others (The Georgie thing...), and well, for me not terrifying but scary enough.
HATED the new Henry Bowers personally.
The Pennywise stomp/dance was awesome...

Motivational Growth (2013)

https://s26.postimg.org/8x9c4vreh/motivationalgrowth_poster.jpg

"This is the story of Ian Folivor who is a depressed mess. He hasn't left his increasingly messy & disgusting apartment in a year, hasn't bathed in months, and hasn't had any human contact for what seems like forever. His only constant "companion" is Kent, an old cabinet-style television set that's been really the only thing keeping him going. When Kent 'dies', Ian naturally becomes distraught and decides life isn't worth living. He attempts to kill himself with homemade gas in the bathtub. He screws up and ends up hitting his head on the bathtub. When he awakens he learns that the mold growing beside his bathroom sink is talking to him (voiced by great Jeffrey Combs). The mold convinces him it knows what is best for him and he needs to obey his commands..."

With its small cast and limited set up, Motivational Growth turns out to be a pretty fun, original and a great addition to the bizarre, weird or 'WTF I've just watched?!' sort of films. Ian gradually descends into a surreal world contained within the two rooms of his tiny apartment in which time, logic, and human interaction are governed by no rules except those of The Mold. Also, as made evident by Ian's rad cassette tape collection and the bizarre selections of programming on his TV set in the 90s, combined with its video game inspired 8-bit score and a selection of animated sequences, fake television shows & commercials, Motivational Growth is its own fully realized world of weird.
The young actor on the lead, playing Ian did a good job & nicely carried the movie till the end. Ian serves not only as the film's main character but also as its narrator, as there are several times at the beginning when he breaks the fourth wall to give some more direct character insight to the audience. Also liked the way they handled Jeffrey Combs. Most of the time we get small cameos by horror legends and nothing lasting on film but Combs, well his voice, is in a great portion of the film and you can guess easily...he nailed it.

A very inspired effort from writer-director Don Thacker on his first feature film. Overall, a good, original & well written bizarro indie that's definitely worth to check out for a change.

A Ghost Story (2017)

https://s26.postimg.org/fjka80r5l/A_Ghost_Story_poster.jpg

Not a spooky supernatural story and not even told in a traditional fashion, A GHOST STORY comes with a melancholy tale of love & loss that's demand your patience as a viewer for its slow burn nature & art house approach. But still this is a beautiful film that profoundly captures the grief of a ghost & tries to explore some meaning & purpose even in the emptiness our existence into the cosmic nature of life & time through a simplistic, yet poetic visual narrative.

Give it a try if you are a serious viewer & like thought provoking films or won't mind to watch an art house sort of film for a change. If you can sit through that long take in the early stage of the film where Rooney Mara's character just eats a plate full of pie in deep grief & loneliness, then this will turn out a treat for you.

At times, it was funny, sweet and even watching like a better version of a Terrence Malick film with lot more senses and better execution. Overall, an offbeat but an emotionally impactful gem of a movie.

Curve (2016)
5/10

If a human who's never seen moving pictures in their life saw Curve (2016), what would they think... but then Curve is not for ages 3 and younger, and it's not opening in makeshift screens across Papua New Guinea. And if you haven't guessed yet, the issue with Curve is it's horrifyingly too familiar a story for 2016.

Young lady picks up a hitchhiker. I can't really say more without giving away the story. The few sections it has are ones you've already seen a bucketful of times. The directing, cinematography, acting, sound were competent, but the dialogue was rather rudimentary.

[Roiffalo]

IT (2017)

Firstly... I'm not a fan of the original. I mean sure it's a great watch if you want a good laugh or a great drinking game that comes with the chance of death, but it just wasn't SCARY. King is supposed to be THE KING of horror, and the original is just stupidly silly... I mean just listen to Annette O'Toole question the clown's motives! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJX0zXvrgmU
There's just no chance of taking the movie seriously when one of the lines is asking why the guy trying to murder you is ''so mean''.

This is going to be rare for me so pay attention... I liked the remake BETTER, than the original! Now true I didn't finish the book, but from reading what chapters I did I can tell that this was a lot more on the money. Characters were fine, gore was great, CGI was a bit over used but whatever it's a modern day horror therefore movie makers are just helpless without it, BUT. What's most important is, it was actually SCARY!! I was actually disturbed by this movie! It was great! The best was Ben running from the headless kid in the basement of the library! Damn that was unsettling!

But then that leads us to our star... I can really take or leave this version of Pennywise... I don't think he was as fun as Curry, but he wasn't bad either. His signature ''run at you while having a seizure and screaming'' scare was more silly than scary, and it took away from just about every scare.

Also I'll point it out before someone else points out that I didn't point it out; There was no werewolf for Richie. I'm disappointed (it was only 73% of the reason I went to go see it...).


The Shallows
(This review is for you, Baron!)

I actually really wanted to see this in theaters originally. I'm glad now I didn't.

I'll list the pros as I saw them: eyegasmic scenery, and a dead whale that was a prop and not CGI.

...That's it really.

The characters were forgettable and/or shark bait, which lend to the effects that were garbage. The movie had a tendency to hold our hand through out it. *our lead looking on her phone at a picture of mom in the hospital and wearing a bald cap? The audience will never figure that out as cancer, we need to establish that in a call with her dad later where his head is in a random split screen box hovering over the fucking ocean in a comical manner, meanwhile we can actually SEE him on her phone in her hand. ::big grin:: ::roll eyes::

There was of course CGI. Again. Modern movie, it'd be naked without it. There were times it was decent, and then there were horrible CGI dolphins. *shudders*

Story wise it was... fine. And had a tolerable ending (despite the side I was rooting for losing), but it's going to really bother me that we never found out the name of the fucking beach and why her driver was so dodgy about revealing it.


Actually I take something back, there was one good actor/character:

Ya, that's about what I thought of it. I wanted to see it at the theatre, but glad I didn't, only because it would have been a waste of extra money. It was ok. There were some suspenseful parts, but not enough. Thought the ending was unrealistic, where the rest of the film was tacitly realistic.

IT (2017)

https://s26.postimg.org/mkbkl150p/IT17.jpg

As an adaptation of Stephen King's IT – CHAPTER ONE...this turned out quite satisfactory; Andy Muschietti & his team did a pretty good job overall. The great bunch of young actors nicely shines in their respective roles though didn't get why they switched & changed few original ideas or things about characters like Mike, Ben & Bev i.e. what's the point of making Ben as the history nerd instead of Mike without revealing anything about his family or background, particularly just moving into a new town & staying over at an Aunt's house, where he's having kind of difficult time to adjust because of an annoying cousin & aunt. Personally I loved that aspect in the miniseries which I found quite relevant for many kinds around that age passing through the similar sort of problem. And the other things that kinda bugged me were Bev's missing slingshot skills and the way they gave away the little mystery around 'the Secret admirer' thing to her so early in this phase of the story. But man...that stunning young actress (Sophia Lillis) turned out quite a catch for this movie, I'm sure she'll have some damn busy days with great prospects in coming years of her career.
Pleasantly surprised by Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise! Mostly because of my early impression about this portrayal of Pennywise wasn't much positive from what I've seen in the first teaser/trailer. Thought it was going to be somewhat cheesy but glad it turned out I was wrong. Enjoyed his every encounter with the kids...particularly the major selling point was his very first appearance & interaction with Georgie and he nailed that segment with his own charisma of portraying the fabulously creepy 'dancing clown' of Derry (btw, shocked to see that ended in gruesome fashion! I wasn't expecting at all to see such explicit & gory death scene of such a young victim!). Anyway, coming out from the reels (inside the garage) & the freezer (in Neibolt house) were another favorite parts and also that 3-scary doors part was a clever touch by Muschietti. But I wouldn't call them jump scares as I was expecting something like that to happen at those parts of the movie. Those were deliberate scares for me…and I never mind any sort of scares (jumpy or deliberate) as long as they are nicely done & entertaining like the way Muschietti filmed them here, loved them all.
The whole kid's viewpoint treatment worked so well for a change considering how most other major horror films came out in recent years. I think they can still add few more short scenes regarding how adult community was dealing with those child missing cases more elaborately while grown-up characters recalling about the old Derry in next chapter(s).
As a whole, I'd say Andy Muschietti's IT is the most entertaining horror film of 2017 so far. Excited to see who they eventually cast in the all grown-up roles for these characters.

mother! (2017)

https://s26.postimg.org/ep5mjykrt/mother_ver5.jpg

‘mother!’ can be defined as Darren Aronofsky's major, bold move into the segment of avant-garde cinema which got a pretty close tie with Horror. While I referred BLACK SWAN as his love letter to Roman Polanski's psychological horror films, now I like to consider this as his own way of homage to some other maestros of cinema…from Luis Bunuel to Stanley Kubrick, along with twisted flavors of Polanski to Micahel Haneke…the inspirations were evident in this one hell of a magnificently bizarre, odd movie. With a set of nameless characters & the limited set up of a house in the middle of nowhere, Darren Aronofsky made a total allegorical film that manifest itself into multiple layers of meanings or symbolism including religion, politics, troubled conjugal life dealing with fame & personal will etc. The thing that intrigued me most was whenever I tried to reach an idea of what's it actually about, the twists and turns of events just amazed me over & over again...like Aronofsky was saying "Why so hurry, my friend? I think there's something more that you may find interesting!" At times while the first half was somewhat like a twisted Hitchcockian thriller directed by Kubrick or Haneke, the second half gradually descends into total chaos & horror which kind of reminded me of the madness of Luis Bunuel's The Exterminating Angel (1962)! At the end, you may find an answer to get a relief for a while (like it's all about God Vs Mother Earth Vs Mankind or God & Mother Earth Vs the Mankind) but that may not be the only key to unlock all the doors of confusing & mysterious stuffs happened to that house of strange chaos, triggered by "few" suspicious guests & the baffled owners.

In time, I believe this film will become a cult favorite for the ardent horror fans (at least) and can be regard as Darren Aronofsky's a matchless masterpiece which may going to inspire him to work around more closely to the horror territory in future.

Anyway, this is a quite grim & violent medieval Irish action-drama where Jon Bernthal as the mute lay-brother with a mysterious, dark past delivers another damn good Punisher-esque ruthless killer performance. Tom Holland as the youngest monk also showcase promises to doing some serious stuffs in coming days of his growing career.

Very interesting documentary about Lady Gaga. Honestly, I never understood all the hype about her. I didn't think she was any different from Bette Midler or Madonna back their heyday. This documentary has given me a new respect for Gaga. Seeing her in the recording studio, no filter. She has an amazing voice. And, the woman has a lot of health issues. Fibromyalgia and lupus just to name two. I probably won't ever buy her CDs, just because it's not the kind of music I like, but, like I said, I have a new-found respect for her as a person.

Letherface (2017)

https://s26.postimg.org/9rjcf5khl/image.jpg

The idea was to explore the younger years of Leatherface...so this time they "tried to give a little different perspective" by putting him into a mental institution when he was a kid but after a break out he escaped with a few other lunatics and eventually returns to the farm & become 'Leatherface' at the very end! Although I didn't find it as horrible as Texas Chainsaw (2013) but as a whole it just turned out a very average 'lunatic criminals on run with a killing spree' sort of flick, not something that can be regard as a worthy addition to the franchise. And how much you cry out loud & say ‘this is not a TCM film, just an origin or back story of Leatherface, you just can’t make it a separate film as he’s the most iconic character of the franchise. Even if we take it as a standalone film, it’d still remain as just another very mediocre (or I won’t argue if someone says below average) flick. But I should say the initial idea or approach was fairly decent though. The 2003 remake & it’s prequel (2006) implied he was suffered from a facial disfigurement and a skin disease that caused severe deformities and tumors to his face which contributed his muteness & mental retardation but this time they wanted to show he could have supposed to be a normal kid but under certain circumstances, family issues and after some chain of psychologically affecting horrible events he forced to become the beast who eventually gain the notoriety & become known as Letherface; the problem lies on the rest…the story that they finally built on this idea, the execution and the tone. The gritty, dark & unsettling look & feel all over that a TCM flick supposed to carry was totally missing.

But I've found one positive aspect and that is intentionally or not they are now just making those 2 Michael Bay produced TCM flicks [The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) & The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: THE BEGINNING (2006)] look really great by adding this sort of pointless, shitty installments to the franchise. Many fans of the first two original films didn't like or just straightway hated whatever Marcus Nispel & Jonathan Liebesman did respectively in 2003 & 2006 (and personally I liked them a lot) but now it just makes me wonder what would they think of now about Texas Chainsaw (2013) & this one!?

Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo did surprise the genre fans with their 2007 debut feature INSIDE but sad to say, after that they couldn't make any major or good horror movie so far. Livid (2011) had an interesting premise but didn't turn out anything special and then 'Among the Living' in 2014 which was more or less as lame as their latest 'Letherface'. At least I won't get excited for their movies anymore.

Not bad, though the story was kind of more suitable for X rated comedy, I guess. Colin Farrel reprise the role that Clint Eastwood did in 1971, I'd like to see that too sometime.

Wish Upon (2017)

Another "wish will come true with a deadly consequence" horror-thriller and this time it's from the director of Annabelle (2014)! It turned out what I thought it'd be.

The Corpse of Anna Fritz (2015)

https://s26.postimg.org/54eawuyix/The_Corpse_of_Anna_Fritz_-_Cover.jpg

Thought it'd be something similar to THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE or at least an interesting horror film but it turned out a plain thriller that kind of reminded me of Deadgirl (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0896534/) (2008) though, which I need to give another watch as I can hardly recall anything about that other than a necrophilia sort of subject matter. In compare to most other modern day Spanish thrillers, it was quite average but not bad.

Cult of Chucky.

I was actually quite surprised.

I thought the last one (curse) was ok...kind've nice to see the franchise edge back into darker territory while steering, although not completely, away from the ridiculous.

Cult is just about as direct a sequel as you could ask for these days - bringing the two main characters from the modern and original era together.
I liked it. It was dark, moody, atmosphere wasn't bad, some interesting kills...and I much prefer the "new" concepts involved this one rather than the introduction of more outlandish characters.
This one's got a bit of everything for those that have liked various aspects/styles of the series throughout.

It's also nice to see Andy again, in more than just a post credits scene...and it's really shown how much of a toll the his experiences have taken on his life and who he's become.
Chucky was really enjoying himself too, and his character felt a bit more like the "old" Chucky this time around.

Anyways, I actually liked it quite a bit more than "curse".
Not sure if they intentionally left it as incomplete as it was, it's almost like having watched half of a movie - I was really enjoying it, and when it ended when/how it did, it seemed quite abrupt and I'd really hope that they intend to follow this up with another.

Check it out. It's probably the first in the franchise I've enjoyed anywhere near as much as either of the first two.

Gerald's Game (2017)

https://s26.postimg.org/5hjh89ky1/image.jpg

Under the surface of supernatural, creepy elements or a horrifying survival scenario, Stephen King is a master class writer who often likes to create relatable characters having deep emotional experiences that people endure in their lifetime through darkest fear or a difficult past. GERALD'S GAME's central character Jessie Burlingame is also very much like that, she finds herself in a fight for survival after a planned weekend with her husband in a remote retreat accidentally takes a harrowing turn; and now she must confront & struggle with her own demons, disturbing memories & a fractured psyche to get out from that very awkward & near impossible situation.
Today's one of the most promising young horror filmmakers Mike Flanagan here just gave us a superb adaptation of King's one of the most less discussed novels by hitting the right cord - providing perfect emphasis on the main character & her inner struggle like the way other great filmmakers (i.e. Darabont, Romero) with successful King adaptation did in their movies. And Carla Gugino on the lead remarkably turned it into her own show where she showcased quite a powerful performance with lasting impression.
The way Flanagan captured the heart of King's story with a small but stellar cast, this is surely going to regard as one of the very few but most finest Stephen King adaptations made in recent years.

Pygmies: Children of the Jungle (2011)
9/10

ON NETFLIX NOW

If today someone told you, "sorry, turns out Pygmies were just a myth", you'd probably have to say, "Oh, really? I always assumed they were real." It's amazing that even today, in 2017 (though the film is 2011) you can see real Pygmies in Africa, living as they have for millennia. This documentary takes you there, and you can see they aren't a myth, just shorter family members still living it 'old school' in the jungle. I thought it was fascinating. The direction gives you a real "you are there" feel. You get to learn what you can, while you can, and then you have to leave.

I didn't know they made a remake of Flatliners, but yes, the original was really well made! I saw it at the theatre. Plot wise, it's tricky to decide where you're going to end up, the original went to spooky horror, which was OK. Not quite as grand as Brainstorm, but entertaining nonetheless.

Goddamn this was bad. Full disclosure: I've never seen the original, so I can't compare...but fuck me, what an awful movie. Clichéd, afterschool special nonsense. Lame jump scares, generic set pieces and absolutely no reason to care about anything that's happening.

All the characters are cardboard cutouts, none of them ever feel like real people - the cast isn't terrible, but they're fighting an uphill battle against a godawful script.

Ugh. This is the worst thing I've seen in theaters in years, and I didn't even have high expectations.

Good news is, I recommend the original Flatliners. I thought the build up was really well done (3/4ths of the film). It's really what the film is about. The conclusion was what it was... not bad or good... kinda interesting choice. Love to hear what you think of the original. I can pretty much guarantee you'd be entertained. I knew what the film was about before I saw it, so seeing the re-make probably wouldn't be a significant spoiler.

First up was Never Let Me Go. I don't understand how Nerdist classified this as horror. There was nothing horror-related to it. ChronoGrl and I discussed it, and came to the conclusion that, at best, it was kinda/sorta scifi, but was really more of a drama.

Blade Runner 2049
8/10

It's two hours and forty-three minutes long.

There's some films we see and ask ourselves, 'why?'... I mean, 'why did they make this film?', that is, 'what is it trying to say?'. This film is a light touch, and rather existential, neither of which are bad things, if when it's all said and done the audience comes to its own satisfying conclusion. I don't think that will happen with this film... and at a runtime of two hours and forty-three minutes, that isn't going to sit well with most.

Still, a film can be high art, combining many different art forms, such as music, sound effects, CGI worlds, a story and sometimes an imagining of the future. I think the film is successful in meshing the high arts together into an immersive film experience. For some, that's plenty.

Lastly, I appreciated the film used the world of the film Blade Runner 1982 faithfully, expanded on it, and didn't violate the spirit of the film. I just don't think the film was more revealing of the subject matter, nor poignant enough.

Though I loved the film but yeah...I can't argue with you or anyone if he/she thinks that the final payoff wasn't much satisfactory enough in compare to its slow burn build up & length of the film. I liked the way the story progressed on Officer K's perspective & all the twists & turns that lead him to that finale and along the way all that nicely captured his inner urge for a family and the choices he made despite what the 'truth' ultimately turned out at the end. His female companion "Joi" was also a clever but moving touch to the story. The confrontation between Niander Wallace (Jared Leto) & Deckard was the most or one of the strongest parts...the way Wallace tried to crush him emotionally & the way Deckard responded (Ford's finest performance in recent years) was quite distressing & compelling at the same time. Though there wasn't any Roy Batty with a touching monologue this time but still overall I found this a pretty good sequel in compare to today's Hollywood standard. Actually we couldn't bargain & get better than this, IMO, a perfect combination of the finest talents of current Hollywood you'll find here in almost every department of the film. Like you said the way Denis Villeneuve & his team kept intact the spirit of the original film, expanded the world beautifully in terms of new characters, a neat story and the overall aesthetic value.

I think it convincingly outshines most other contemporary, so called Sci-Fi masterpieces (i.e. Interstellar or even including his own 2016 film ARRIVAL!).

Entertaining horror-comedy. It's about a geeky 12-year old and his babysitter. Knowing more would spoil things.

Boys In The Trees I loved it and I'm never this excited when I see a horror movie. I wouldn't say it's a slasher type of horror. It has many horror and eerie elements to it, taken place on Halloween night. Halloween has always been my favorite holiday since I was a young kid. It's a coming of age story and it's about friendship, the future and it portrays how some people you hang out with tend to influence you and cloud your judgement. I could tell the whole time I was watching it that the main character was very unhappy with his life choices and how he wanted to better himself as a person. I wouldn't want to spoil it, but it was very very interesting, held my attention and I loved the feel that I got from it. It's on my list of DVD's to buy for sure. ::cool::

Pretty entertaining slasher-comedy. Though found that end credit scene with a "Twist" totally unnecessary & bullshit.

Wind River (2017)

https://s26.postimg.org/lbg1mpsnd/image.jpg

This is a beautifully made, a very good crime-drama set around the investigation of a murder of a young Native American woman on the Wind River Indian Reservation. Story & character wise, I found it better & more compelling than the director (Taylor Sheridan)'s earlier films HELL OR HIGH WATER (2016) & SICARIO (2015) where he served as the writer. This time he did both writing & directing job here and I'm now very much looking forward to see his more films in future. One of the best films of 2017, IMO.

>>: A-

My only frustration while watching WIND RIVER was to find Jon Bernthal again here doing a small role. I just don't get it...whether he's got a bad agent or the Hollywood people still doesn't feel confident enough to put him in a lead for a movie?! Because though he already shown his acting talent in THE WALKING DEAD & THE PUNISHER TV series and I think he's one of the few extremely talented actors that came out in last 10 years or so from TV, Indie & big studio movies combined but still haven't got any big break in movies. Is still TV Persona affects the career for an actor/actress in mainstream movies?! The same thing more or less goes for Jon Hamm also who at least this year got a kind of an important role in Edgar Wright's BABY DRIVER where again Jon Bernthal appeared in a very small & insignificant role!

https://horrorpediadotcom.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/cabin-28-killers-2017-horror-movie.jpg?w=557&h=369

Based on a true unsolved murder in 1981 in which The Strangers movie was also based off of. I didn't know that.

The accents were horrendous and the characters were..well stupid. I wanted the mother dead within the first 20 mins or so. We have super killers that are stabbed and hit with a baseball bat and move as if unscathed. *sigh* The music score horrible. That's it.

[Roiffalo]

Victor Frankenstein

Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but still over-sexualized, both monsters were CGI, how the hell did "Igor" get so smart being a clown and punching bag in the circus, and even though I enjoyed McAvoy's performance, I think he was channeling a little too much Robert Downey Jr. (more specifically his performance in Sherlock Holmes (which this movie also shares too much slow motion in common)).

The story had a good idea, but bad direction. I would've liked to have seen this with an adult writing the story for an adult audience, instead of by tweens for tweens.


So far in recent years, we've had a Dracula reboot, Mummy reboot, and Frankenstein reboot. But out of all of them, The Wolfman is still the best.
...I actually haven't even seen the Mummy yet but I'm keeping my opinion as just cold hard fact.

Oversexualized? that's kind of weird for a PG-13 Frankenstein film, you know, if it isn't Frankenstein Creates Woman or something... "By tweens for tweens"... ack! that sounds revolting... I'm interested in seeing various takes on the Frankenstein story, but I don't want to see a tween film. I didn't want to see a tween film when I was a tween, that is revolting. ::big grin::

Brawl in Cell Block 99 (2017)

https://s26.postimg.org/n7h2mh2kp/Brawl.jpg

From the director of BONE TOMAHAWK (2015), this is one hell of a gritty & violent, character driven crime-drama starring Vince Vaughn as Bradley Thomas..an uncompromising, badass drug runner who lands in a prison battleground after a deal gets wrong. Good to see Udo Kier & Don Johnson (as a Prison Warden) after a long time.

Happy Death Day (2017)

The definition of "meh" - watchable, but lots of wasted potential here. The whole show hinges on Jessica Rothe's performance, and she's excellent (so is most of the supporting cast), but otherwise there's not much here to get excited about. Concept could have taken this to some really cool places, but it was really underexplored.

Plus - and minor spoilers here, I suppose - the whole thing is surprisingly bloodless. Lots of stabbings, very little creativity in terms of kills / set pieces. Also, the ending is super lame.

Thought this would be a cool little high concept slasher for the modern day...turns out it's just another half-baked teen flick (albiet with a solid cast and a handful of decent laughs)

[Sculpt]

[B]... the whole thing is surprisingly bloodless. Lots of stabbings ...

::big grin:: I got to say, that part gave me a good laugh! Thanks, Return!

And I know what you mean, so many films have a worthwhile concept, but do next to nothing with it. Nice flowing dialogue, good looking people, and decent actors, are all well and good, but it's just so freakin boring at this point.

[roshiq]

1922 (2017)

https://s26.postimg.org/wk0ntqrm1/1922.jpg

Based on Stephen King's novella of the same name, 1922 is like Stephen King's own version of Allen Poe's timeless THE TELL-TALE HEART story that set around here Wilfred James, a Nebraska farmer with a bitter wife named Arlette and a loyal son named Henry. This hardworking but not-too-successful farmer finds himself under increasing pressure from his wife when she clearly started to express her frustrations living in the country and wants to sell her all of the 100 acres of land that she got inheritably and move to the big city. Through their disagreements, when Arlette threatens to divorce him, taking the son with her, Wilfred plots to murder her and methodically persuades his son to become his partner in crime.
This is beautifully done, an effectively slow-burn horror-drama directed by Zak Hilditch and like the way Carla Gugino turned GERALD’S GAME into her own showcase of versatile acting talent, this time almost an unrecognizable Thomas Jane delivered one of his best performances in career, IMO. His deeply sincere & committed performance as an early 1920s manipulative, desperate farmer with a slowly rotten psyche...was not only an absolute treat but surely this year's one the best so far also.

7?
I find it hard to rate this one. It's great in ways but there's scene that imo ruins the whole movie.
Also, in a way this would've made a better part 1. But only without the ruining scene.

SPOILERS in white:



"In the beginning our main characters says "Ever since I turned 40..." When the real story starts, our main character says he's turning 40. This totally ruined the finale. I couldn't get it out of my mind. Without that scene I thought he might actually die."

Had its moments, but not really my bag overall. Lots of filler - felt like you could easily skip the first 20min without missing much of anything - but once it got going there were some really horrific moments. Kind of devolves into "torture porn" by the end, which I typically find pretty dull.

Loved the atmosphere though. Nightmarish and surreal...real Lovecraft vibe going on. Great use of colour too. Aesthetically it felt like the middle ground between Fulci and Argento, which I was really into - I just wish there'd been a little more focus on plot.

I'd rate it about the same. A buddy of mine loved it (he's our age). Felt retro to me... 80s in particular. Solidly made, but definitely not new ground.

I guess it's a parody? I don't want to get into a habit of saying every horror-comedy is parody. Maybe it comes off to me as parody because it also comes off as retro... or maybe just because it's well tread territory. What do you think?

Yea, it was kinda 80s. Might be the kid against bad guys theme that did it. The movie's problem, imo, was after the big reveal it became something you've seen lots of times before. A shame, cuz I really liked the chemistry between the kid and the babysitter and the scenes with just those two together.

On another note, is it just me or is there more talented kid actors popping up this decade than ever before? Might be because there's more kid actors being used than ever before, idk. The last 2 decades we've seen tons and tons of teens in horror movies, but this decade the jews of Hollywood has thougt, "We can do it even cheaper, muahahaha".

I was disappointed that it wasn't the scenario I had first read: that it was going to be about Trish and her young son (named after Dary).

THE DESCENT (2005). Not as good as DOG SOLDIERS, but pretty satisfying just the same. Serious suspense and I just love women who kick mutant ass::love::. This is the unedited cut and a lot of grue, but not to the detriment of the story. ****

Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
6/10

Lot's of good clean fun. It's funny and tongue-in-cheek all the way through without breaking character. Character driven story, action and effects. More comic-booky than prior live action 'super hero' and Avenger films. One doesn't need to have seen prior Avenger films to enjoy it. Decent story that's just mildly entertaining (nothing wrong with that), not any serious or emotional themes going on. Found a fairly comfortable running length at 2h10m, though I would have cut another 10-15 mins.

Yea, it was kinda 80s. Might be the kid against bad guys theme that did it. The movie's problem, imo, was after the big reveal it became something you've seen lots of times before. A shame, cuz I really liked the chemistry between the kid and the babysitter and the scenes with just those two together.

On another note, is it just me or is there more talented kid actors popping up this decade than ever before? Might be because there's more kid actors being used than ever before, idk. The last 2 decades we've seen tons and tons of teens in horror movies, but this decade the jews of Hollywood has thougt, "We can do it even cheaper, muahahaha". Sorry, that was a bit racist ( but racist in a FUN way, right? :D).
Nailed it... that the relationship between the kid and babysitter was the heart of the film, and the build up to reveal was the entertaining part. After that, it totally lost it, actually pretty boring after the reveal, as it was so clique and robotic.

I haven't really noticed more good kid actors. I think it's more a matter of script writers giving kids more character depth.

Dave made a Maze (2017)

Out of frustrations, in a desperate attempt to prove himself, Dave builds a cardboard labyrinth over a weekend and ventures inside, only to get lost inside its twists and turns. After girlfriend Annie comes home from a work trip, she learns that he can't get out. News of Dave's predicament spreads and soon his friends enter his bizarre creation to try and save him.
This whimsical fantasy kind of bizarre comedy comes with a pretty interesting idea but sadly falls kind of short in terms of substance at the end or the bite that needed to sustain itself as a feature length. But definitely it deserves kudos for it its pretty unique and creative efforts for presenting a weird & wonderful world made of cardboard.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

https://s26.postimg.org/igzpm14qx/Valerian.jpg

It still could have saved itself at the box office more or less with the same plot, just needed more bankable starts like Chris Pratt & Scarlett Johansson but more importantly couple of rewrites & slightly different & more edgy treatment required. Moreover, they could have save at least 20 odd minutes by removing that pointless & time wasting 'kidnap & rescue' segment where a giant-fat alien tribe kidnapped the heroin Sgt. Laureline (Cara Delevingne).

Overall, not bad, had the potential to become a decent series but sad, they blew it away.

Mayhem (2017)

https://s26.postimg.org/ejcfwmhxl/Mayhem.jpg

It's similar to THE BELKO EXPERIMENT only in terms of both the films got the premise of an office building complex where chaos & violence breakthroughs but here a virus plays the part that makes stress hormone levels rise & stimulates extreme emotions without the realization of difference between right & wrong. And surely it worked at least as a better idea than somehow putting explosive chips in the skulls of co-workers who were ordered to kill each other by a mystery voice (Belko Experiment).
Moreover MAYHEM utilized the corporate affairs & its environment with a way more convincing & better approach. Overall, a better executed, more entertaining & bloodier film than TBE.

Glad to see Samara Weaving from Netflix's THE BABYSITTER back in here with another kick-ass role, looks like she's the breakthrough star of the genre this year.

Justice League (2017)

https://s26.postimg.org/wpw4ch8p5/JL1.jpg

JUSTICE LEAGUE isn't a perfect superhero movie. A poorly done, one dimensional villain, rush in the story line, almost zero emphasis on how's the world dealing with the events...there are issues to get critical about it. But does that really means it's another entertaining mess of a DC film?! I definitely wouldn't call it a total mess but yeah..still found it quite entertaining!! It's basically a superhero movie mostly about the superheros, from character introductions to all the fun & actions, JL was a triumph of DC's supreme superheros. The entertainment level was so high that all those critical issues didn't actually bothered me much; the heroes steals the show entirely, the villain & the crisis felt like minor issues or an excuse to bringing them all together. All the actors shines in their respective roles; Miller surprised me as Barry Allen, Jason Momoa was badass as Aquaman, even Ray Fisher as Cyborg was pretty adequately fits into the group. WW & Batsy have little grown with their characters and man...Sup returned as the best of them, one of the versions of Superman that we've been waiting for. If you are familiar with the style & execution of Snyder & Whedon's filmmaking then I'm sure you'll see the difference here, the style of 2 different directors were somewhat quite visible throughout the movie but in a good way. In Justice League, we have somewhat got the best of both of them. I'm glad whedon stepped in & saved the movie from being another Snyder's signature entertaining mess. His light & full of life & fun touches were noticeable and made this such an enjoyable ride from start to finish despite having several issues.

DCEU still alive and I'm looking forward to see further installments.

Basically it deserves hardly a 'B-' or 'B' may be but my inner fanboy like to give it a B+.

Long story short : I dig it as I love good old body explosion from the 80's (Braindead etc.) combined with a lovecraftian background and small budget that still provides efficient effects most of the time and...I love the animatronics, guys what else could I say ? It's fucking real, you feel like you can touch it and well...it's sticky, gruesome, dark, nothing like an Avengers movie !

Many references that I found even though I'm not such a horror connoisseur but there was definitely something from Carpenter. As for the plot I don't want to say too much, it begins with a mysterious religious group attacking a hospital (somewhat reminded me of the original-the good one- "Assault on Precinct 13") then supernatural events happen.

Yet there are flaws, obviously. Critics said that it lacked the ambition from the films it pays tribute to. Not so sure about this but in two scenes I thought the effects were...lazy. The plot is not perfect, characters may not be developped enough but to be honest I totally don't care : cool story, strange creatures, Lovecraft... it's still the deal.

Two DVD rentals:

Split (2016)
7/10

A guy captures three young ladies.

Written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan. As the title may suggest, the lead antagonist has multiple personalities and is played, dare I say a tour de force performance, by James McAvoy (played the young Professor X in Xmen First Class and Future Past). But beyond that, it's simply mildly entertaining and surprisingly cliche. The writing has some depth, but not nearly deep, sharp or emotional enough that we ever care or take much notice. Lot's of old, old ground here.

Hacksaw Ridge (2016)
8/10

A true story, during WWII an young American Seventh-day Adventist Christian joins the Army to be a combat medic, while also being a conscious objector who will not kill, nor even carry a weapon. His fight begins in basic training and ends in the Battle of Okinawa.

Directed by Mel Gibson, including stars Vince Vaughn, Hugo Weaving and Sam Worthington, the film was nominated for many awards including Best Picture. The film is well made, and a very interesting true story. The film is packed with vicious Pacific War combat scenes. The script felt a bit simple and the characters largely caricatures of real people, but not to the extent that it was ruining my film immersion.


Netflix offering:

The Dinner (2017)
7/10

Two brothers, one a US congressman (Richard Gere) and their wives meet at a restaurant to discuss what to do about their teen boys who have gotten into some very serious trouble.

I haven't seen this level of character and background exposition in a film perhaps since Ordinary People. It's based on a Dutch novel of the same name, which explains the extensive novel-esque exposition. It has a bit of a The Great Gasbey going on. Has plenty of witty dialogue. For some reason the film leaves an ending issue unresolved. Along with that the ending is a bit unsatisfying.

Well hello stranger! I do have to disagree with the two above choices....

I thought Hacksaw Ridge was an incredible movie and I felt the emotional attachment through the entire show. I thought the cast was an excellent choice, true to their characters. I had to buy it!!

Split was kick ass!! I love his portrayal of each personality; turning each character on and off in an instance. I guess I am bias too because he also happens to be one of my favorite actors! I will be buying it in the near future.....

Superman sacrifices himself in a stupid ass move while Batman is standing about being useless and perfectly able of NOT dying while wielding a kryptonite spear.

Batman vs Superman (Dawn of Justice)

I'm going to be merciful and spare you the two hours and thirty one minutes that were forever taken from me, so take notes and pay attention!
Funny stuff! I always thought if the film makers had the guts to make an 'alternate universe' film, where superman is a very strange, arrogant, cultish godlike thing (like he was in one of batman's dreams), and batman was just trying to save mankind from his rule... this might have been a great film. I mean heck, they could have even made this not the real superman. Instead, after all the prior superman films, this film was overly tread material again.

But of course, this was just a forerunner film for The Justice League film.

[ImmortalSlasher]

Don't Knock Twice -

I thought this was going to be good. I think I saw a trailer or just a poster some time ago. Perhaps I thought since Katee Sackhoff is in it, it would be good. But she's 0 for 2 for me with horror movies now. Maybe 0 for 3 with that Halloween movie but I haven't seen that yet. Don't Knock Twice starts off ok too. But then goes to some crazy places. And without spoiling it, the movie is a tease. It is like it knows it's a bad movie so it plays with obvious misdirection in the hopes that you will forget. A better movie wouldn't do something like that. It wouldn't continually show something to try to make you forget something else so that when the reveal happens at the end it's a surprise and shock. In Don't Knock Twice, I didn't care that much because of that poor attempt at misdirection and the stupid ending. It's a shame too because the setup and a few of the locations are good horror settings. And about 1/4 to close to halfway in, I was thinking this is going to be a movie I'll own. But nope.


Autopsy of Jane Doe -

I heard the name of this movie before but I guess I didn't think it would be a horror movie or at least a good horror movie. But I think someone here recommended it so I checked it out. And it's a good one. Like many good movies it's best to see this one blank and let the mystery unfold. It's an unsettling movie because the whole thing is set in the basement morgue of this cozy old country house. And even though we've seen autopsies in movies before, I don't think we've seen whole movies around autopsies. The only one I can remember right now is the doctor movie with Lola from Run Lola Run. She's cool and I might try and find that one again as I barely remember it. But if you haven't seen The Autopsy of Jane Doe check it out and don't spoil it for yourself. The movie is short and the reveal will be surprising. At least it was for me.


I mean heck, they could have even made this not the real superman.


They don't have the guts to do that in a multi million dollar movie. I think they did do that with the recent Superman and some of the DC characters though. Of course it probably wasn't planned, even though they will say it was, but that whole New 52 thing didn't go as well as they wanted it to.

I was planning on going to see Justice League on Sunday, but my plans are rapidly changing.

With JL, WB have started to think little more 'wisely', I guess. Cause as a movie, it's got plenty of flaws, poor editing, bad cgi, very weak plot structure and a poorly done villain with one dimensional character who was so weak that even though they used such tagline as "YOU CAN'T SAVE THE WORLD ALONE" but literary in the movie he was so douchebag of a villain that even Superman alone could have beat him single handedly within a minute if he wanted to or got the chance. Despite having several issues or problems like that the movie still somehow turned out as a fun & entertaining watch as they clearly decided to treat it lightly by kicking out Snyder for good and assigned Whedon to turned it at least a barely enjoyable ride for the moviegoers. Though not even close to WW's shadow but at least an improvement over stupid ass earlier films like BvS, Suicide Squad and that chaotic mess of MOS.

Little minor spoilers for JL that I'm sure won't ruin your fun while you'll going to see JL:

Snyder's 2 consecutive movies got this strange obsession for 'mother'...in BvS, Batsy stopped killing Sup when he came to know both of their mother's name is same & Sup's mother is in danger, asking for his help (as he almost beat the crap out of him) and in JL, Steppenwolf was running after the mother boxes crying out "Oh Mother! Oh Mother!" throughout the movie ::big grin::

Crooked House (2017)

https://s26.postimg.org/70w1w8k7d/crooked_house.jpg

Haven't read Christie's original novel yet ::embarrassment::, so can't tell how well they have adapted it here but found it pretty entertaining with great production value and great cast including Christina Hendricks, Gillian Anderson (couldn't recognize her first!), Glenn Close, Terence Stamp and Julian Sands. May be because it wasn't one of her popular Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple stories, there wasn't much charm of solving the mystery with clue by clue. Still it was enjoyable as it also offered one of her signature & most engaging mystery format...a gorgeous mansion of a wealthy Britt family and the house full of suspicious characters who each may got his/her own motive for the murder(s) and yes, of course, with a nice surprise at the final revelation; particularly this story came with a real shocker! Loved it!

Loving Vincent (2017)

https://s26.postimg.org/wkyc2o5l5/image.jpg

Focusing the last days of Vincent Van Gogh & his life briefly, LOVING VINCENT (2017) is a visually striking film that actually looked like a continuous series of live oil paintings of VVG that somehow came to life with words! This tremendous achievement for live action animation genre surely is a treat to watch not only for the fans of the Father of modern art but also whoever is fond of different sort of animated films & art. Purely influenced by the works that Van Gogh had painted & using his same painting technique, each of the frame of the film (in total 65K!) is actually an oil painting on canvas, created by a team of more than 100 painters (source: The Making of Loving Vincent video & wiki)! The film also heavily revolves around the mystery surrounding the suicidal death of this troubled genius and that gave it kind of a feel of a mystery movie also. Not in a first person perspective, rather as point of view from the others who were somewhat close to him or observed him more or less closely, the film tries to captures the tragic life of a bullied & struggling Vincent, considered a madman and a failure, had a very unpleasant relationship with fame & fate during his lifetime as they never collided till long after his death.
But the way the basic narrative was set in the film, it won't be as much compelling as a movie if they made it only as a live action film without this unique style of animation. So Vincent's own style of art, contributed by more than hundred of modern classical-painters saved this film and made it something special.
And last but not the least, a film about Vincent Vang Gogh would never be complete without Don McLean's one of the most moving & best songs ever...Vincent (Starry Starry Night). Though they should have used the original version but glad at least they added a cover version of it at the end credits.

BAIT (2012)
Just watched this with my bf. The CGI was so bad I thought for sure this was another of SyFy's crap films, but the further in we went the more we found ourselves enjoying it. The story was good and suspenseful, characters somewhat connectable, setting was fantastic, and the BODIES. The effects on the corpses were phenomenal! One in particular was so grotesque that it puts the floater in Jaws to shame. I swear they put so much time and effort into them they completely forgot they had sharks to put into the film and that's why the beginning shows so much horrid CGI. I recommend watching if you want something cheesy, but enjoyable cheese. And I will comfort the animal lovers that the dog DOES survive. Just hang in there. It's a great ride. ::smile::

Sugar Mountain (2016)

https://s26.postimg.org/e83rfibt5/sugar-mountain.jpg

Liam and Mile, and Miles' girlfriend, Lauren, are trying to run a boating business in Alaska, but they've come on hard times. The reckless Miles cooks up a desperate plan: With help from his more knowledgeable brother, they'll stage Miles' disappearance in the wilderness. And when he returns, they'll sell their story for a ton of money.

A ridiculous thriller about one of the dumbest schemes anyone ever thought for a movie and the fun part is it took all of that way more too seriously that it should have. Only a comedy treatment could justify the plan's absurdity.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)

Looks like Matthew Vaughn desperately wanted to make a superhero movie. Found it excessively cliched & absurd.

Ya, that's what I thought. It got some bad reviews, but I really liked it. The special effects are top-notch but not important, it's pretty funny and pretty emotionally intense at times.

And I was lost alone in the wilderness of, um, Alaska, for um, 14... days, er months, and I wrote a book about it, I just need some financing for publicity.

Justice League (2017)
7/10

Much better than some of the reviews I heard. I thought it was fun. For the most part the action tends to have purpose, and they move it along. It has humor without lingering on it. The story and villain are very routine, but it's not insufferable. The pace is better than Thor-Ragnarok, where most the action was boring. I hate that they display Flash moving as just lighting... much prefer the red blur, like in the comics.


Cube (1997) -- on Netflix --
7/10

"Six complete strangers of widely varying personality characteristics are involuntarily placed in an endless maze containing deadly traps."

Actor Maurice Dean Wint, as Quintin/Police Officer, does such an excellent engrossing job that it really kick-starts the film. It's interesting and well paced. The story and characters run out of gas after the first hour though... either the characters, or the Cube setting, needed to become more complex for the 90 minute runtime. But being a little uncomfortable with the circumstances and characters seems rather fitting to the plot.

LAKE ALICE 2017

A family spend Christmas at their winter lodge but start getting picked off one by one.

It was okay. I love isolated winter settings and this definately had that but a lot was left unresolved.

They didn't reveal that Alice was the killer at the end? ::confused::

I have to remember how to spell definitely by saying "De-fin it, Ely." Like shark finning. Which is ironic cause I hate finning and love sharks. 8/

I saw that too last night. Small world. :-)

It was fun for what it is. Nothing major, but a laugh or two, a good kill. After hearing Kermode's review, I was kind of curious about the Brad and Fiona Dourif laugh off. Which delivered.

Despite being in widespread use, the misspelling*definately*comes in for considerable scorn. The Urban Dictionary has a separate entry for*definately, which it defines as: 'Idiot-speak for “definitely”. One of the most common moronic misspellings found on the Internet'.Oct 23, 2014 "

Haha, small world indeed!

It had some good points, Chucky was as entertaining as usual with his dark humor. But good lord... There were many twisted kill opportunities missed! The biggest being the woman who was medicated to a state of conscious but unable to move... I recall an episode of Tales From the Crypt more horrifying than that scene was. ::roll eyes::

The story was very different from the rest of the Chucky films, and it talked like it wanted to take more chances, but it didn't walk the walk.

Also didn't care for the ending. It was a way to get horny males to watch it and not much else.

Hey, Urban Dictionary, it's not OUR fault the English language is so ridiculous! ::big grin::
I've actually heard someone say that if they hadn't learned English at an early age and had to learn it all over again, they would rather kill themselves than learn it as an adult. Can't say I blame them in all honesty.

Speaking of dark humor. I saw the decapitation and wondered if they considered a joke about the glass ceiling. "Looks like the glass ceiling broke you" or something.

I'm still in shock about it honestly. ::shocked::

Or maybe "you always wanted to get "a head" in life". ::big grin:: ::roll eyes::
