A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014)

It was okay, kinda slow at times. Not turned out as intriguing as it initially seems. But I think Koreans would have done something pretty exciting if they treated this concept of serial killer duo.

Interesting thing about it was for a found footage flick it was quite fast paced. Never been much fond of big foot story but it was entertaining.

A slow low budget trash with a ridiculously funny plot.

Horrible.

I have a softspot for Eric Stanze but I rarely mention it in polite company.

I just watched "Wolf Creek 2", and I am sad to say I was rather disappointed. I liked the first one, and still thought John Jarratt was scary and makes a great serial killer.. but it didn't have the same intensity as the first film. Definitely at least two good gore scenes, and had some interesting plot twists I didn't see coming.. However, it still fell sort of flat in the end. I would not be interested in watching another bad sequel if it happens.

I'd maybe give this one a 6 out of 10.

What didn't you like about it?

It was a totally different type of film - they dropped the gritty, nasty realism of the original and when more for laughs in the second. An odd choice though I did enjoy both in different ways/

I agree. I really enjoyed the first one but the second one was lacking sooo much....

I would compare it to The Hills Have Eyes remakes; the first one was awesome but the second one was pretty lame.

Some sequels just don't make the cut.

::sad::

"Fury" 7/10

Definitely had some strong Spielberg vibes.

Babadook

A lot of hype surrounding the film. Now, I like a film that makes me think. This one did, however not in the way I'd prefer. Good atmosphere with muted colours. The acting was fine (I agree, the boy was annoying but he was supposed to be). I enjoyed the camera work, a few moments stand out (one with a disorienting sweeping motion). I'm not going to spoil anything. I was just left feeling underwhelmed. Very much liked the premise of the book and inviting danger into your home. I did find some similarities to another film which I won't name being that it may ruin this film for those that have yet to see it. Make your own judgment. Yes, there is a lot to like but not enough to make me love it. I figure a good determiner is if I would watch it again soon after the first viewing. No. But maybe in time. Essie Davis performance is without criticism. She impressed me.

Liked the concept but would have prefered a different story.

I couldn't even get through the whole thing. I was so bored. It had a bland, stupid story, unlikable characters and their idea of what is scary is a really loud score RIGHT IN YOUR FUCKING FACE! Avoid this one

2/10

The Babadook (2014)
Overrated much?
Only watched this because of the "hype" and positive (p)reviews.
But I should've stuck with my gut instinct.
Yeah, the actress was good and the concept (whatever it is) had potential, but that's about it.

Ya know, I'm not sure I'm getting how you feel about the movie, I need more details....::stick out tongue::

Cold in July

I enjoyed it, especially the cast. Dexter plating a redneck ::big grin::

7/10

I really loved this - I was really hyped for it and it was better than expected. The ending is pretty over the top and realistic but I could deal with that. I am also slowing warming to Shia. The fight with the Tiger was great too, just the fear that they had of that tank even though they greatly outnumbered it.

Hahaha

The James WAN trademark.

Yea, it suits Shia to play an older man. He played his character really well. They all did.

"Sex Ed" 5/10

This movie was one weird conversation after another. The story could've taken place in the same world as "The Invention of Lying". Difference is this movie wasn't funny.

"Jessabelle" 8/10

Not sure I totally understood everything that was going on, but it was still a good horror flick with some damn good scares. Could've done without the tarot readings which seemed kinda lame. Unless they were...

I was sucked into seeing Ouija; I'm not going to see another PG-13 horror flick until Insidious: Chapter 3.

Then don't.

PG-13 horror movies aren't all bad. Just because theres no violence, nudity, or swearing doesn't mean the movie still can't be scary as hell. Atmospheric fright is a lot scarier then blood and gore.

I realize that. That's why Insidious, The Ring, and Drag Me to Hell are some of my favorites, and I don't think violence nudity and swearing makes anything better.

Imo violence, nudity or swearing can make everything more "realistic".
And I watch horror for entertainment or because I like the concept, not for the scares. There are only 3 movies that really scared me over the years.

Wait a couple of years =P

I didn't say it makes it worse ;)

Then why the avoidance of PG-13 movies?

The point of a horror movie is to scare. If I don't feel the attempt to scare or they failed at the attempt then I'm gonna like the movie less. All those things can add to realism but not all the time and sometimes can seem forced.

For the most part, they're usually not particularly entertaining or scary. I think Insidious, The Ring, and Drag Me to Hell were good because they had the right directors attached, and the stories for each of them were interesting. Other PG-13 horror films like The Grudge, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, One Missed Call, and The Possession were horrible.

Also, The Conjuring is proof that a movie doesn't need to have gore, sex or profanity to be rated R.

So by your own admission, a PG-13 horror movie can be good so there really shouldnt be a reason to avoid them. I think you have other problems with those movies besides them being PG-13. Seems like a silly reason to me to not watch a movie.

violence nudity and swearing makes everything better...

Exhibit 1 your honour:

I can provide another 150+ examples if need be.

I'm not saying a movie is bad because it's PG-13. I'm saying, more often than not, a PG-13 horror movies are usually bad.

But you're specifically avoiding PG-13 movies solely for that reason yet you've stated that you've liked them in the past. Just doesnt make any sense to me

I've liked a few of them in the past, but the bad ones outweigh the good ones.

Something I also neglected to mention was that, when I saw Ouija, the theatre was filled with screaming and crying teenagers.

Well okay that i can understand. Which is why i don't go to the theater much anymore.

I go to the theatre all the time, but it's never been as bad as my experience in Ouija.

I expected jesabelle to more to be more than a pg13. Just my opinion.

Lucy (2014)
B.
Ok action/sci-fi movie with decent effects and a good cast.

My friend and I were talking about Lucy just now. I guess it was good in that cheesy way. The ending was pretty predictable though. I guess it's just food for thought.

Interstellar (2014)

Definitely requires some thinking on the viewer's and you will feel like walking out at least once. It is not a movie for everyone. Nor is it like Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy or Inception. But this is a rich space opera, and the sci-fi film of the year so far. I wished HDC could have been there watching it with me.

Jessabelle

I give it an 8 out of 10. I really liked this one. The main actress was fantastic and I thought the film had some genuinely frightening scenes. The story wasn't that original, but still well-written and suited the pacing of the film. I would recommend watching this. Not the best or most terrifying thing ever, but a good film worth the watch anyway :)

"If I Stay" 3/10

Wauw, what a... bad movie? WHO COMES UP WITH THIS SHIT?!!!
