Don't really like Jennifer's voice and face. Annoying as fuck. The scenes of chaos in the house were awesome. Grasped the idea behind this film pretty quick.

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!).

May be because she was one of the producers but surprised to see 80s one of our favorite scream queens...DEE WALLACE giving such a dedicated, one hell of a performance at this age for this average, low budget slasher flick!

Just for her I'm giving it a C, instead of more deserving C- or D.

Solid crime drama with some brutal violence and an excellent Vince Vaughn. Perhaps his best performance yet.
From the writer/director of Bone Tomahawk. I'm already looking forward to his next movie: Dragged Across Concrete. Another crime-drama with Vince Vaughn and Mel Gibson as cops becoming criminals.
One annoying bit, there a scene during broad daylight that's ruined by the blue-grey lense thing they applied, making it look to dark. But it's a short scene.

The Babysitter (2017)
B
Entertaining horror-comedy. It's about a geeky 12-year old and his babysitter. Knowing more would spoil things.
Netflix certainly got the colouring right. Guess they read the article on Cracked.

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::

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!

Cabin 28, 2017. 3/10

https://horrorpediadotcom.files.word...pg?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.

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::

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.

The director is doing another crime-drama DRAGGED ACROSS CONCRETE starring Mel Gibson & Vince Vaughn; Udo Kier & Don Johnson also returning in supporting roles. Very much looking forward to see that next year.

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)

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.
