X-Men: Days of Future Past 8.5/10 Very compelling film in regards to portraits of self-sacrifice, addiction, love and righteousness. Bryan Singer continues to make good use of symbolism to convey and evoke purposeful emotion and determination. Excellent special effects and action. It's not without it's flaws, where sometimes, even the action, and subplots, can become slightly tedious. |
ABRAHAM LINCOLN VAMPIRE HUNTER (2012)-Thought this would be pretty bad and was right. Awful CGI, pointless scenes and loads of historical gaffes. But funny and suspenseful here and there, so worth one look. **

Stretch (2014)
B+ Cool movie: fun, violence, drugs and weird characters. I'm sure this would've been bigger with a slightly different cast and more publicity. Quote:
It shows Apocalypse, the very first mutant. Who'll be the main villain in the upcoming X-Men movie. |
Amusement (2008). Decided to check this out after the rave reviews in Villain's Marathon Thread. Was not disappointed. Great depictions of vivisections and creepy clowns. This film also a great "mood" that is perfect for week of Halloween viewing. Overall a surprisingly good direct-to-DVD film.

"Rutherless" 7/10 The story wasn't the greatest, but if you liked movies such as "Almost Famous", "That Thing You Do", "Rockstar" and "Duets" there's a good chance you'll dig this one. Rutherless is definitely the saddest of the bunch. Billy Cudrup should always wear a stash. |
Mama
It's more of a twisted fairy tale than a horror movie, but there were some damn unsettling scenes in the film. I really liked the characters and disturbingly gorgeous shots, and the acting, especially from the kids, was top-notch. Be warned, though, after Mama reveals herself in all her CGI glory, it stops being scary and just more bedtime story-ish That wasn't a detractor for me because I like more dramatic horror films like this film. Even when the film wasn't being too scary, it still had a creepy atmosphere and compelling story, although it doesn't completely transcend its genre clichés. I'll definitely buy this on DVD when I get a chance. B+ |
Found (2012)
http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...psf4f1e2e4.jpg An indie flick with a pretty good story. At times it was slow & boring but this same thing could be a masterpiece like LET THE RIGHT ONE IN if the story was treated by a better & professional director, writer(s) & cast. Surprised to know that crappy & gory film within this film, Headless is getting made into a full-length feature, funded by donors from Kickstarter! That would be a pointless investment, IMO. >>: B Static (2012) http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps6e08fdf0.jpg As a typical home invasion flick it wasn't bad until the "twisted ending" and it become one of 'those films'....::big grin:: >>: B- Where the Devil Hides aka The Devil's Hand (2014) http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...psa5bd109b.jpg Liked the setting of a devout community for a slasher flick but the kills weren't much cool & explicit as well as the reason for those killings wasn't much convincing or required, IMO, as 'The Devil's Hand' was eventually going to appear anyway. >>: B- |
