Rubber -- 7/10; Relating to nonhuman objects is good mental exercise.

"Falcon Rising" 4-5/10

Forgettable action starring Michael Jai White.


"The Captive" 7-8/10

I would think this one is for fans of Prisoners. Good, but less violent.


"The Giver" 7/10

Started out as a Divergent/Hunger Games clone, but turned out to be more of a philosophical drama. To me the story was completely stupid, but the movie was actually very well made, and at the end i wanted to see and know more about the world i'd only seen a tiny part of. Pretty much the same way I felt after reading Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. I hope for a sequel, but i'm not so sure it will happen.

This was quite a weird watch. The entire movie was like a pilot to a very promising series. Like watching The Fellowship of the Ring not knowing if there would be any sequels. I guess only time will tell.

Just got done watching Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow and am currently in the middle of Mars Attacks which I haven't seen since I was a kid. I guess today is as good as any to have a Tim Burton movie marathon. The Nightmare Before Christmas is next in the line up.

Static -- 6.5/10; Subgenre manipulation is at play in this film to provide a big albeit familiar twist. It is better than expected, and I suppose sentimentalists will eat it up.

I finally got around to watching Nightmare Before Christmas earlier this year. Interesting movie....

Thumb resize.

This was way better than expected.
Surprised I haven't read anything about this one.
Sure there's some typical dumb horror logic and an average ending, but overal this is a decent werewolf movie.
Would've been more interesting if they didn't give it away with the title.

Funny. I just saw a trailer for it a few hours ago on Youtube and decided to give it a try.

Haven't seen it yet tho, but definitely looks like one of the better werewolf movies.

An abnormally tall, hairy guy (with behavior disorder) mistakenly targeted as a werewolf!::big grin::

Yeah, it's one of those weird horror movies set in a world where the average person doesn't believe in mythical creatures and looks for a more rational solution.

"Honeymoon" 6/10

This is how you make a no budget horror movie without hand-held cameras.
A couple spend their honeymoon in a cabin in the woods... Cheap.

I think most people could do without the first 20 minutes of the happily in love newlyweds doing what happily in love newlyweds do on their honeymoon. We don't wanna see that? We want to see a happily in love newlyweds having a horrible time, that's what we'd like to see. And thankfully that's what we get the rest of the movie after the wife disappear some hours in the woods. Rest of the movie is one big question mark and contain one pretty damn gross scene.
