The Last Exorcism
Silent Hill Revelations |
They lost me at Russell Crowe's introduction as Doctor you-know-who (poor R L Stevenson must be turning in his grave, moaning at each reel of this monstrosity). Everything else after that went just one way - downhill. And don't even get me started on that ridiculous climax! Not sure why Cruise and Crowe did this. Maybe they have gone bankrupt and needed the money desperately. Pointless. Avoid unless otherwise. * ½ |

I still can't figure out why the mummy has two pupils in each eye... is that an Egyptian thing I'm unfamiliar with? Speaking of these shit remakes, I watched Dracula Untold over hiatus. I should probably give my 2 cents on it: ...It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I still gave my copy to my sister because Dracula was a pussy. |

Okja (2017)
https://s13.postimg.org/h5r3y8vpz/Okja.jpg Another Bong Joon Ho masterpiece! The director who gave us some exceptionally good & quality films in past 15 years i.e. Memories of Murder (2003), The Host (2006), Mother (2009) and Snowpiercer (2013). This is a brave take on animal abuse with a little doze of corporate satire through a moving adventure tale from start to finish. Found this absolutely beautiful and quite heart breaking at times. Highly recommended. >>: A |
TROY (2004). Pretty good costume drama with lots of action, good CGI and decent turns. ***1/2

Event Horizon -
I rewatched this movie. I don't think I saw Hellraiser before I saw this originally. But now I see all of the influences. It's a strange mix that's both fun at times and dark. Quote:

Zygote (Oats Studios Volume 1)
B+ Another Blomkamp short, this time inspired by The Thing. That creature... Daaaamn! I'm amazed what they're able to pull off with limited resources. Quote:

Contratiempo aka The Invisible Guest (2016)
https://s21.postimg.org/kzwsyds87/Contrart.jpg The writer of Julia's Eyes (2010), Oriol Paulo's 2nd feature film after 2012's awesome Spanish thriller The Body. Though not as great as his earlier works & you may get the 'twist' halfway through but still this is a pretty well-crafted, intense 'who or how-done-it' style another good Spanish thriller. Recommended. >>: B+ |
