Back to back show today at the theater
Lights Out (2016)
https://s7.postimg.org/gkj357vuj/lights_out_poster2.jpg Simple but effectively scary. Beautifully done. >>: B+ Suicide Squad (2016) https://s8.postimg.org/ko9j1f3qd/image.jpg Initially I thought they were going to adapt 2014 Batman animated flick Assault on Arkham for the big screen this time which offers more or less the same characters but a different plot where Joker was the main antagonist and Batman appears as the final savior! I enjoyed that one. Anyway, with a different villain and set up, DC-WB's this 3rd major installment wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be (particularly, after even looking at the headlines on some of the recent critic reviews i.e. 'worse than Fant4stic'!). But that doesn't mean it was good either; just an okay, time-passing but at the end forgettable average flick for DC-WB collaboration. The villain(s) and the final showdown were the major disappointments as well as the way they put Joker into the story was a big letdown, IMO. >>: C+ |

Summer Camp (2015)
C/D Big disappointment. I expected better from the people who made Rec. There was a cool angle to the story but it got ruined by everything else. |

Star Trek Beyond (2016) "The USS Enterprise crew explores the furthest reaches of uncharted space, where they encounter a new ruthless enemy who puts them and everything the Federation stands for to the test." Another great addition to the reboot series. Not quite as good as the previous two installments, Into Darkness being my personal favorite, but it's very action-packed and exciting. The story is simple and feels a lot like an episode from the series, which is a good thing. It's fun, not pretentious and has incredible special effects. One of the few good mindless summer blockbusters this year. 8/10 |

Dread I.M.D.B. Three college students set out to document what other people dread most The performances weren't strong enough to carry this movie in which very little happens for the first 60 mins or so. When it finally got to where it was going, it wasn't strong enough to justify the wait. Better performances and better dialogue, or more action/horror throughout were needed to make this worth watching. A more convincing/stronger friendship between the two guys would have elevated this movie. 6/10 |
