Just saw Doctor Strange.

Really good movie. Crazy visuals and some inventive action. The story was OK but I liked the characters. Really fun movie and felt very unique, honestly haven't seen a big budget movie with visuals like that.
A great stand alone Marvel movie.

Bad guy was a little weak and love interest was underdeveloped but I enjoyed the movie quite a bit.
One of the better superhero movies this year.
Also it's worth seeing in 3D IMAX if you get the chance.::wink::

In a Valley of Violence (2016)

https://s16.postimg.org/7va6d34bp/Valley.jpg


A western from Ti West (The House of the Devil, The Innkeepers) & with a title like this, I was expecting a gritty & more action packed (with more characters of course) movie but it turned out quite simple & ordinary. There's nothing great or cool as a standalone indie Western flick. Disappointed.

Let the Right One In - not a bad movie, but completely spoiled by now. So many reviews gave away the entire plot. Probably a great movie if you've never heard anything about it.

THE SHALLOWS (2016). A lot better than I thought it would be. Good suspense and Blake lively not bad at all.

***1/2

Ya, it was interesting, different, and solid technically... but besides that, I just thought it was OK. I don't see good reason for the special acclaim, outside of the fact of a couple decades of little worthwhile competition.

Joshy (2016)
Very meh movie that doesn't know whether it's a comedy or a drama.

Finding Dory (2016)
Average. I expected more from this one. Best thing were the side characters.
Probably would've been better if they just got their own movie.

She Who Must Burn (2015)

http://s18.postimg.org/fhmrhldd5/She..._Burn_2015.jpg

Angela used to work at a local clinic that was shut down after its doctor was shot to death by an anti-abortion protester. Undeterred, Angela decides to run her counseling work at home where she provides basic services - something that puts her at odds with the rest of the anti-abortion protesters, mainly a group of religious fanatics who believes that she is performing abortions. They also believe that she;s to blame for recent infant deaths (implied to be due to water pollution), which they see as a sign of God's disapproval. Things are made more tense when Angela helps the wife of the Pastor (the leader of the group) flee an abusive marriage.

Quite a dark, disturbing & sad flick about the horror of religious fanaticism. The story is set on a community that's blinded by religious dogma and slowly unfolds the evil & horror within. Pretty well made & acted with a few disturbing & eerie moments also...particularly found that scene of the birth of a stillborn & the way they buried the baby was quite shocking & sad and the role of the woman who played the mother of the stillborn and a hardcore religious fanatic - kinda felt like demonically possessed at times.

Overall, a pretty good movie from Canada. Recommended.

Clown-2014.

Next up is Lights Out.

Dark and disturbing? Thanks, I'll skip that one.

The townsfolk think Angela is to blame for the infant deaths, cause they don't believe in pollution. And the Pastor hasn't stopped beating his wife, because of a dogma. Hmm... I'm sensing an Oscar here. ::wink::
