[First one to me was like, just okay decent found footages movies and some of of those stories to be a little to short and little to boring,
However in this sequel, I found that segment had enough time and I didn't find one of them boring at all. Tape 49 The movie start of with two investigators looking got a missing male student, so end up searching the home and then enter find a number of tapes just like first one. Male looks around and lady then who see laptop and recording of boy is tell her how the stranger the tapes. So she puts the tape one Phase I Clinical Trials A man just had his eye installed with a camera after a car accident took his sight in this eye and it more of POV kinda of think this one. But soon everything fine, until it was about go to bed and stranger things start happen first and then he start to seeing the dead. This segment did make me jump and I did find this one to be really creepy at times and the make up effect for the ghost were very good and they did look scary. I really enjoyed this one and I really liked how the story came to a end ,, 8 out of 10 A Ride in the Park (The second segment) THis shot entirely with a "Go Pro" camera mounted on a helmet, while this man riding his bike and then suddenly he see a women covered in blood screaming for help, not know what wrong she get sick and then she attack him and What ever she had , he had passed to him and now as also become a Zombie. I didn't find this boring but there was some very gutsy scenes in this segment and I didn't really like how this segment came to end. The zombie make up effect was really decent and I think this one could I have been a bit more bloody. 6 out of 10 Safe Haven This segment was the best of the a lot and it's the longest one as well, there segment had subtitled in most of it and the most Craziest segment I have Ever seen! New crew who wanted documentary and they allowed to go in, they take r hidden cameras on buttons of the crew's shirts. It's start of normal and I didn't like the whole drama of crew, which ends up being part of the story but then it fitted in with the rest of cult think. This one of very strange and very creepy and really gory in this segment and one of the most bizarre scenes you will ever see in this segment. This one will creepy you and then grossed you and then it will make up laugh your freaking head off like you never have before. 10/10 Slumber Party Alien Abduction As not good as the last segment but it was still really good and this a lot better the whole movie of Unware (2010) should have been like this. This start with Camera on a dog and while mum and dad going and family get up silly pranks for first part of the movie. Until they see a blue flashing light that blinds them and soon are be terrorised by Aliens and some Aliens attack here really well done. This some really good tense moment as well and Aliens do look really good and effect in this one was really good. I loved it! 9/10 Back to Tape 49 I didn't really like how they ended this one, they try to go go for shock factor but I don't think worked. 8 out of 10 |

I went to see Epic last night with my son. It was beautifully animated and had some laughworthy moments. Overall I enjoyed it despite it's thin story and uninspired characterizations.
Then when I got home I watched Final Fantasy: The Spirits within. Another beautifully animated film that I think got an unfair response. Personally, I really liked it and think it's quite underrated. |
The Hunger Games and Silver Linnings Playbook. I finally got to see these (for the first time). I enjoyed both films.

The Monk (2011)
http://data.whicdn.com/images/553350...ver3_thumb.jpg Decent horror/thriller based on the 1796 Gothic novel by Matthew Lewis. Lots of disturbing revelations though a tad slow at points. A well-told story of how even seemingly incorruptible men can descend into madness; sanity is a slippery term. 3.5 stars out of 5. |
http://0.tqn.com/d/movies/1/0/q/J/P/bugposter2b.jpg
Bug Starring Ashley Judd, Michael Shannon and Harry Connick Jr. A great movie about paranoia and how one can be easily led on by someone with extremely strong convictions, regardless of how out of place or utterly false they are (or are they?). Ashley Judd and Michael Shannon give excellent performances in William Freidkin's best picture (imo) since The Exorcist itself. Based on an off-broadway play by the same name written by Tracy Letts. Michael Shannon reprises his stage role as Peter, a stranger with a scarred and potentially dangerous past. Starting out as an unassuming stranger invited to the motel home of Agnes (Ashley Judd), an isolated and deeply troubled individual living in constant fear of her abusive and manipulative ex-husband, Jerry. As their relationship starts out, Peter is seen as a guardian angel sent almost serendipitously from the heavens. He comforts. He doesn't ask for anything. He is near painfully perceptive. As things go along though, there is something terribly wrong and as Peter pulls Agnes under his wing and under his influence they both begin a descent into absolute madness. One of the things I found most absorbing about the film is the element of "out of the frying pan and into the fire" that builds as the movie goes on. With excellent performances, a challenging and disturbing premise about paranoia and the dangers of letting people into your life and Friedkin's expert understanding of the material and how to make the absolute best of his minimal sets this is one of the great unsung heroes in recent film history; and while things get a little absurd in the last act, I feel that it's only the logical progression and this film definitely gets my utmost reccommendation. 5/5 |
"House Hunting" 7/10
Finally a horror movie worth recommending. |
Orphan- I finally got around to watching this one after it sat collecting dust in my collection for over a year. I was pleasantly surprised by it, as it's definitely one of the best "evil child" movies I've seen. It has effective scares, good performances (especially by Vera Farmiga as "Esther") and a very unsettling atmosphere throughout. While it does bow to convention and cliche at times, it's still worth a watch. 4/5

Thanks for the correction! Next time I won't post half asleep. lol Her role was pretty damned demanding too, though, so props to her too.

Hatchet (2006) Every time I see this movie, I enjoy even more then the last time, it has everything and I liked to see in slasher, loved it 10/10
Hatchet 2 (2010) This is actually my second time, I have not seen since first time I saw, I was really disappointing with this movie and I actually liked this less then the last time I saw it! There missing something from the first movie and I think gore was actually step down from the first movie, I think, it took time for some gory moment in this, I didn't really find it all that fun. 5/10,. I wasn't really happy about the re-cast! Off to see number 3 |
I watched Silent Hill a couple of days ago. It was not great, not terrible. I have certainly seen better, but it was pretty good. I would rate it 3 and a half out of five (almost a four, but not quite).

Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows
Not bad, not as good as the first though, the pacing was really wonky here and the slow-mo was way overdone. I still like the BBC series and the first flick better but it was good enough to be fun. |

Finally tracked down a bootleg VHS copy for download. Nice treatment but I was disappointed by the ending again, like the 60s version. The 1945 treatment remains as the best one. Oliver Reed shines in the lead with Elke Sommer giving him good company, and supported by a stellar ensemble cast with the likes of Sir Richard Attenborough, Herbert Lom, etc. Great to see Bond baddies Gert Frobe (Goldfinger) and Adolfo Celi (Thunderball) play victims for a change. Now, off to find the 1989 version. * * * ½ http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...SL._SY300_.jpg Not as impressive as the original, which was a "found footage" film whereas this one was a proper film. And the pre-destined ending was already hinted up in the original, so nothing new added to this one. Skip if you have better things to do. * * |
"House of Fears" 4-5/10

Hatchet 3 (2013)
Yesterday, I saw all 3 back to back and it could easily fit all these 3 movies into one full movie, I loved first movie, It's had gore, it some Nudity and it's some nice tounge in cheek moment that I loved everything about it! In 2010 I could not wait to see Hatchet 2, I got hopes up little to high, cause, I didn't like, I found that it was tone down some bit, I found it less gory and it took while for movie to get going after the boring middle part and with no humour. I didn't really get my hope for this one, Cause, I knew if I did , I would be disappointed by this. For me Hatchet 3 I found just little more fun and a bit better then Hatchet 2. I loved the opening of the movie, that is one hell of way to start and I loved very gory opening in this movie. I think movie a lot more better pace then second movie, there not many of Jump scenes in this movie like Number 2 and calmer scenes don't seem to drag on and I was not bored with this movie at all. The side-plot of the movie could have been better but it okay and I really enjoyed the last few scenes in the movie. I loved those effect in the last few scenes, it was very gooey, I did not expect that but I did find little silly how it happened. Improvement on second movie but I felt they were missing the some of the dark Humour that made first one a lot more fun. 6/7 out of 10 really good sequel |
I've heard from alot of people that Hatchet was awesome, Ill have to check it out sometime! Bloodstone: Subspecies II- A pretty good continuation from the original with Anders Hove still fuming and undeniably viscious and vile as he ever has been. Radu is one of my favourite on screen vampire characters ever and on the basis of Hove's performance and David Allens always neat stop motion work and some awesome gore effects I'll give this one a 4/5.

Solidly creepy first half with some superb spooky scenes and scary atmosphere. But once the CGI takes over, the film peters out a bit. And the climax is the lowest point of the film. If only they had gone the implied route, it would have added a lot of horror with the audiences' imaginations working overtime. Still, fairly enjoyable. * * * |
Human Centipede II: Full Sequence - This is a disgusting and far over-the-top film about a mentally disturbed man obsessed with the first HC film and is set on one upping Tom Six by creating a 12 person centipede. I don't know that I've ever seen a more vacant and shallow film ever. It's nothing but a crude a repulsive exercise in vainity and absence of any taste, bad or good. I finished this film sick, violated and pissed off. Probably the worst film I've ever seen in my life. 0/5

Hatchet 2
It was just okay, and it seemed like something at the end totally negated things said earlier, and I hate it when that happens. I'm not sure or not, and I don't care to watch the whole movie again to see. Plus, I know Tony Todd is a much loved horror icon, but I found his low monotonal, growling delivery of every line to be as annoying as Christain Bales' Batman voice. |
Hatchet 3
Not as fun and refreshing as the first and not as dark and gritty as the second. Still even though it is the weakest of the three, i still liked it. It had good moments of humor, tons of gory death scenes and continued the story nicely. The plot was a little silly and the movie didn't seem to take itself seriously and a lot of the acting was pretty bad but not a bad addition to the series. |
Alex Cross
My first time seeing Tyler Perry in a straight role. I thought he did a pretty good job. I enjoyed the movie, it was a good time waster. |
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...xL._SY300_.jpg
Entertaining, with some breathtaking cinematography. Great to see the familiar LOTR characters return to share screen space in the new prologue. Some parts dragged a bit and felt unnecessary, and the ultra-long running time of 2 hr 45 minutes could have been shortened by skipping those out. Hopefully the next one is more succinct. * * * ½ |
Men In Black III
http://www.scificool.com/images/2012...ie-Poster2.jpg Directed by: Barry Sonnenfeld Starring: Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin and Emma Thompson Lightyears better than Men in Black II, but still not quite up to par with the original, MiBIII is a pleasant piece of sci-fi escapism with a dash of heart. I would definitely recommend watching it sometime when you're not busy and have an evening to spare. Not too big on the brains, but definitely entertaining and funny enough. Especially of note is Josh Brolin's performance as the young Agent K. His emmulation of TLJ is nearly spot on with enough dry wit to spare. Suit up, shut off your brain and enjoy. 3.75/5 |

Went into this one blind and thought it was solid. Definitely worth checking out. |

The Uninvited (2009)
http://image.bayimg.com/lanmlaabg.jpg Great remake of the South Korean original. Good cast. A nice and startling surprise ending. 4 out of 5 stars! |
Insidious.
I surprisingly liked this movie because I like seeing the dead and supernatural occurrences. Can't wait for chapter 2! |
Quote:
You're not the only one who saw it that way, my best friend also said he liked it a lot, and for the very same reasons I found it detestable. To each their own, though. If you can take something from it that I didn't see or just didn't care to see, it's all well and good. I'm glad you enjoyed it! |
Mars Needs Moms - lol!

Saw two movies yesterday, Now You See Me and Man of Steel.
I enjoyed Now You See Me. Interesting plot twists and good acting. Man of Steel was just ok for me. The fights between Superman and General Zod got old after a while. Ok, I get it, you can throw each other into outer space, can we move on with the story now? |
I also saw Man of Steel yesterday - wasn't impressed. Can understand Warner wanted to ride the coat tails of the superhero thing but this was pointless. It was like a Transformers movie - it had no soul and even worse - no humour.
This morning I watched Hide & Go Shriek = dull. |
V H S 2
Much better than the first one. |

Tucker and Dale vs Evil Directed by: Eli Craig Starring: Tyler Labine, Alan Tudyk, Katrina Bowden and Jesse Moss Two dumb as nails but genuinely likeable "hillbillies" (played with a warm believability and great comedic timing by Tyler Labine and Alan Tudyk), Tucker and Dale, are on their way to a country cabin for a vacation when they come across a goup of college students on their way to a getaway in the woods. Dale finds himself smitten with one of the ladies in the group, Alison (Katrina Bowden) but has never been able to talk to girls properly. After some goading by his friend, Tucker he finally gets the nerve to go over and introduce himself. Too bad he carries a gigantic scyth with him and takes his friends advice a little too litterally (one of many great send-ups of horror movie cliches), culminating in the whole group being intensely off-put and setting into motion a terrible case of mistaken identity where D&T are mistaken for crazed hillbilly serial killers. I found this to be a pitch perfect comedy of errors in which just about any preconception you may have of the standard slasher flicks and turns them on their heads in a way that (imho) made this film one of (if not the) best horror-comedy I've seen in a dogs age. As things get progressivley worse and worse for our duo the laughs come in full force. I would highly recommend this film for the above reasons as well as the genuine undercurrent of sweetness and emotional honesty that beats at the very heart of Tucker and Dale vs Evil. Check it out! 4.5/5 :cool: |
Man of Steel
Eh. I didn't like this very much. The story was rushed, the pacing was ridiculous. It was all over the place and i didnt care for any of the characters. The action scenes were fun but nothing extraordinary. Rose Red Nice haunted house movie/miniseries but i was expecting something more Targets A big thank you to Neverending for recommending this. This is an amazing movie with a great story and amazing performances especially from Boris Karloff. Definitely recommended as a must see. |

John Carpenter's The Thing Not so fond of alien type movies but decided to watch this anyway. It's alright. Didn't find it that scary, only when you see the disgusting 'alien' is quite creepy. Find the movie a bit too slow for my liking, and depressing. I also hate anything that involve animals, so the dogs scene were very uncomfortable for me. I would say 3 out of 5. The Possession (2012) Nothing new.. the kid did a good job of being possessed but didn't find it scary either. Hated the jump cuts and aerial view at the beginning. But somehow I don't feel the movie connects to me, like I couldn't care less for any of the characters. Maybe I don't like any of the actors playing.. I don't feel they have the right emotion for it. I would say 2.5 out of 5. |
I was disappointed with Rose Red - the book was so much better. I never did watch the sequel.
