Baby Driver 7/10

Pretty good flick with some really good action scenes.

I saw Sausage Party and I give it a 9/10. I know a lot of people hate that movie but I couldn't help but love it. As an atheist I really appreciated this movie's less-than-subtle message about all religions being BS and as somebody who despises all of these recent (and mediocre) kid-friendly CGI movies by Pixar and Dreamworks I was glad to finally see a CGI movie that would make parents feel ashamed to ever let their children watch it. I also thought the way that this movie mocked different stereotypes with different food products was comedic genius.

So yeah, I love this movie and I'm not ashamed to admit it. ::smile::

What gave you that idea? All I got from it that would come close to religion or anti-religion would be when they are eaten or used (in douches case) is they die. How does that mock religion in the least bit? Religious or non-religious , it doesn't change the fact that everything dies. I too am an atheist and your claim makes no sense to me.

Um... Because all of their beliefs about the "Gods" (shoppers) were basically wrong and they all ended up dying in the "great beyond"? Also because none of the food items could agree on anything or get along because of their religious differences? They even mocked how the Nazis tried to commit genocide on the Jews (the "saurekraut" singing about exterminating the "juice").

I think it's pretty blatantly obvious that this movie was mocking religion and expressing how it thinks that most of the world's problems come from people refusing to abandon their religious beliefs or accepting each other's differences.

But I really don't feel like arguing about religion so I'm just going to leave my point at that.

Let Me Make You A Martyr - 2/10

Has anyone ever seen a movie that looks like someone slapped a bunch of shit together knowing it makes little to no sense and hope people will like it solely because it doesn't make sense? Put Marilyn Manson in a supporting role and have him on the dvd cover and list him as the star and you have this piece of shit. I only give it a 2 because I liked the dark gritty cinematography, otherrwise fuck this heap.

Avengers: Infinity War - 8/10

Great movie! Thanos is a BAMFer!

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD 1990

Not bad. Liked the original better but Tony Todd was awesome.

Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994)
6/10

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._US_poster.jpg

The dangerous evil of Freddy Kruger begins to make his way out into the lives of those who worked on the horror films that had once contained him.

Maybe one had to see this film in 1994 to appreciate it... I found the film extremely predictable, and very old hat, especially the ending... of which I will say, without any spoilers: the protagonists go where you know they will go, it will look exactly like you'll expect, Freddy will do what you expect and have seen many times before, and it will end exactly the way you think it will end.

I didn't think it was scary, as it's hard to take Freddy seriously at this point -- or at that point in 1994. And the film was never funny, which I found a bit ironic; but it was sometimes suspenseful. I liked the concept of the film -- and we hear this concept espoused word for word by the writer/director in a "cameo" appearance, 'An evil force, in the form of Freddy, was contained and controlled in the films about this monster, but now that no one is afraid, Freddy is breaking out.' Unfortunately, this concept did not go in any unexpected directions.

Dagon ( 2002 )

The plot centers around two couples on vacation, whose ship suddenly runs aground off the Spanish coast and one of the women becomes trapped below deck as the boat begins to take on water. Our male and female leads take a boat to a nearby fishing village to seek help, only to discover that the townsfolk have been enthralled by something that is slowly turning them into blasphemous abominations. Something evil... Something ancient... Something from the deep. And it wants it’s tribute.

Probably my favorite Stuart Gordon/Lovecraft outing next to Re-Animator, and one of the more true to form adaptations ( even though it’s more like a reimagining of The Shadow Over Innsmouth as opposed to Dagon... Cuz Stuart Gordon and Brian Yuzna never seem to get the titles to match the screenplays for some god damn reason ). Arguably one of the most faithful films in regards to the source material and it’s mythos. Dagon nails the nightmarish, otherworldly, and warped atmosphere of one of Lovecraft’s tales, while mixing in Stuart Gordon’s signature style with some impressive practical creature/gore effects. The story borrows heavily from the original narrative, while also changing enough to keep it from being a straight up adaptation, is more engaging than I expected, and I felt the twist and ending were well executed. My only real complaints are standard fare for most low budget foreign flicks. The dubbing can be a little hokey and distracting at times which can detract from the overall dark and serious tone, and the few CG effects are clearly unpolished or not finished ( but thankfully they are both brief and sparse ).

Overall, I’d highly recommend this one to fans of both Stuart Gordon and Lovecraft respectfully. As well as anyone looking for a creepy little creature feature with decent effects and an interesting, cult themed, story. Also, fans of horror themed games should check this one out, as the original story and this film inspired the level design and enemies in games like RE4, Bloodborne, and by far the most intense ( and my personal favorite ) part of Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.

7/10

Orphan (2009)

I give it a 3/10. That was the stupidest horror movie I have seen in recent years and I don't understand why so many people liked it. The plot twist was so absurd and you could see it coming from 10 miles away, and I didn't like how Esther was portrayed as another evil Russian stereotype especially when a lot of the "innocent" American characters around her were less likable than she was. Like you had her adoptive brother who told her to go back to Transylvania because he thought she was a freak (and not only was he too stupid to realize that she was from Russia but that Transylvania isn't even a country and somehow her pointing out his ignorance made her more evil), you had the little elementary school ***** who tried to bully her just because she wore a dress to school instead of jeans like all the other "normal girls" (I think that brat deserved to get pushed off a slide and break her leg I felt no sympathy for her at all), and then you had her adoptive parents themselves who are getting their freak on right in the middle of the kitchen with their kids upstairs... Yeah, I hated every character in this movie!

I saw this some time ago and l also thought Resident Evil 4 during the early parts of the movie. Perhaps I'll watch it again someday. I remember the girlfriend was hot. The movie got kind of silly but there are some scary parts in the movie. That bed scene was freaky.

I watched it years ago on the SciFi channel and I thought it was pretty good too. It did kind of remind me of the game Resident Evil 4 as well as another horror game called Siren. Both games were about a cult village where the residents turned into monsters just like in this movie. Maybe those games were inspired by the writings of H.P. Lovecraft too?

The Hobbit, An Unexpected Journey (2012)
7/10

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...d_Journey.jpeg

A hobbit reluctantly agrees to be help some dwarves and a wizard journey to regain their home.

I hadn't seen this film since seeing it in the theatre in 2012. I remember coming to the end of the film, after 2 hours and 49 mins, being disappointed... why is the movie ending when the Hobbit never went into the mountain to grab the special stone! I had no idea this was going to be a three part series. The beginning of the film didn't tell me this was "part one of three". Un-met expectations can really hurt a review.

So now that I know it's in three parts, I tired to reassess the film. Really, the film has some very good segments, like the beginning meeting the dwarves, and the riddle-filled confrontation between Bilbo and Gollum. I think what hurts the film is a lack of defined purpose. We know what the group wants to do once they get to the mountain, but the film is entirely about the journey there; and so the film feels a but disjointed, like a string of isolated experiences along the way.

The key plot of the film is set up early when the wizard Gandalf says to the hobbit Bilbo, "You'll have a tale or two to tell of your own when you come back. And if you do... ...you will not be the same." The film was not entirely successful in demonstrating how Bilbo was changing. Bilbo became willing to risk his life for the cause, but I don't think we understand why.

All-in-all, it's a rich, interesting and oft visually stunning adventure, with some very entertaining moments and a fair degree of heart, but there's an undeniable lack of focus.

I didn't like Seed of Chucky as much as Bride of Chucky. It felt too silly in my opinion.

Great creature feature.. : )

Wait..What?.. Is what you'll be sayin' a lot with this flick the incongruity is enough to keep it interestin' tho...That and bald, bloodied, machete and crowbar wieldin', maniacally laughin', cannibals runnin' around in an old creepy abandoned hotel. Actors with interestin' features and the flick almost has a foreign feel about it. Good one.

You don't need to see Homecoming. Save yourself. I haven't seen Infinity yet, but it can't possibly have anything to Homecoming. I doubt Ragnor Rock will either.

Except for the major characters, their development and the mandatory smattering of in-jokes and backwards referencing Marvel puts in absolutely everything?
Also some changes happened to some of the characters throughout these films, and a couple were introduced that will likely be seen in at least some way.

That said...While I wasn't in love with Ragnarok, it was a solid action title,

Homecoming (which annoys me that Spider-man is now in his third big screen incarnation and has still not left high school) for me was one of the best Spider-man films there has been. Not quite Spider-Man 2, but puts Spider-Man 3 and both of the "Amazing" titles absolutely in the dirt.
Michael Keaton fucking smashes his part as usual, and end up playing quite a well written version of a popular villain that you can actually sympathise with.
It's at very least, worth a hire - just my take but you're missing out if you don't see it.

I hope they'll actually let the kid GROW UP in the MCU...

The Mummy 2017 -

I finally watched this Mummy reboot and beginning (end) to the Dark Universe. What made me watch it was seeing Russell Crowe's recent auction of his movie items. Even though he was selling them he really seemed to love movies and stories behind the items. I decided it was time to see his performance in The Mummy.

I originally thought it would be an action movie and I wasn't surprised when that's what I got. What I was surprised by is that they thought this was the best way to start a Dark Universe and the odd comedic moments throughout the movie. Also the small hints to other classic Universal Monsters which I thought wasn't the best way to introduce them. Someone who truly likes these monsters could do so much more given the budget and a handful of movies to tie together. I just felt a lack of creativity and that it was a movie of action sequences with a few bits of dialog to explain the story as they progressed.

I thought the best thing was the plane sequence but Tom Cruise likes to do those real things for movies. We've seen the vomit comet in movies before but it's still a good scene in this movie. The lead actress is beautiful. I've seen her in a few movies and TV shows before. But this could have been a real timeless type role for her with a better director. I checked the official posters galleries and she didn't even make any of them which is disappointing. In fact you would think there would be some classic styled posters for the beginning of this series considering those notable old posters but I didn't see any. The actress who plays the Mummy is good but again with a better director and script she could be far better and iconic. I did like Russell Crowe's character. Perhaps it would have been better to start the whole series with him as his character felt the closest in style and atmosphere to the classic monsters.

Overall it was a letdown. It didn't really suck as it was entertaining as most Tom Cruise movies are. And I'm still a fan even though I don't think he'll ever make a movie better than Top Gun. But it just should have been so much better. I didn't care about the ending scene or feel the need to see more adventures of this type or the next entry in the Dark Universe.


I think Siren is on my list to play one day. Game designers are influenced by all kinds of stuff so it's possible they were reading or watching another Lovecraft movie. I think it was the original Resident Evil that was influenced by Night of the Living Dead. There is a stairway in that game that is straight from the Night of the Living Dead remake. And Resident Evil Code Veronica has that bit from a popular Hitchcock movie without spoiling it if you haven't played that one.

Ragnarok was mildly entertaining, I enjoyed it.

I think we have the same general tastes with Spiderman. Rami's Spiderman 2 was great. Rami's Spiderman was pretty good. I didn't like Spiderman 3, but it had some good moments. I didn't like The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and The Amazing Spider-Man 2, very passé and unoriginal, was like Twilight, that is reminded me of it, since I only ever watched 15 mins of Twilight.

The thing about Spider-Man: Homecoming is I don't think it added anything new to Rami's Spider-man… and I just didn't want to see all that again... and that's a killer to me. For me it was very forgettable, and I didn't think it had much heart. I like Keaton in the car scene at the end, other than that, to me the whole thing was either way way too familiar or fairly lame. Again, not saying it was a bad film, just old hat.
