What is your story, dapper deer.

So precious.

Kingsman Golden Circle 8/10

Half a Thanksgiving with family is great thing for sure! I host an out-of-town pal for the weekend, it was relaxing.

BAIT (2012)
Just watched this with my bf. The CGI was so bad I thought for sure this was another of SyFy's crap films, but the further in we went the more we found ourselves enjoying it. The story was good and suspenseful, characters somewhat connectable, setting was fantastic, and the BODIES. The effects on the corpses were phenomenal! One in particular was so grotesque that it puts the floater in Jaws to shame. I swear they put so much time and effort into them they completely forgot they had sharks to put into the film and that's why the beginning shows so much horrid CGI. I recommend watching if you want something cheesy, but enjoyable cheese. And I will comfort the animal lovers that the dog DOES survive. Just hang in there. It's a great ride. ::smile::

Sugar Mountain (2016)

https://s26.postimg.org/e83rfibt5/sugar-mountain.jpg

Liam and Mile, and Miles' girlfriend, Lauren, are trying to run a boating business in Alaska, but they've come on hard times. The reckless Miles cooks up a desperate plan: With help from his more knowledgeable brother, they'll stage Miles' disappearance in the wilderness. And when he returns, they'll sell their story for a ton of money.

A ridiculous thriller about one of the dumbest schemes anyone ever thought for a movie and the fun part is it took all of that way more too seriously that it should have. Only a comedy treatment could justify the plan's absurdity.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)

Looks like Matthew Vaughn desperately wanted to make a superhero movie. Found it excessively cliched & absurd.

Passengers (2016)

Surprisingly pretty good & better than I expected.

Ya, that's what I thought. It got some bad reviews, but I really liked it. The special effects are top-notch but not important, it's pretty funny and pretty emotionally intense at times.

And I was lost alone in the wilderness of, um, Alaska, for um, 14... days, er months, and I wrote a book about it, I just need some financing for publicity.

Annelise: The Exorcism Tapes

1922

Justice League (2017)
7/10

Much better than some of the reviews I heard. I thought it was fun. For the most part the action tends to have purpose, and they move it along. It has humor without lingering on it. The story and villain are very routine, but it's not insufferable. The pace is better than Thor-Ragnarok, where most the action was boring. I hate that they display Flash moving as just lighting... much prefer the red blur, like in the comics.


Cube (1997) -- on Netflix --
7/10

"Six complete strangers of widely varying personality characteristics are involuntarily placed in an endless maze containing deadly traps."

Actor Maurice Dean Wint, as Quintin/Police Officer, does such an excellent engrossing job that it really kick-starts the film. It's interesting and well paced. The story and characters run out of gas after the first hour though... either the characters, or the Cube setting, needed to become more complex for the 90 minute runtime. But being a little uncomfortable with the circumstances and characters seems rather fitting to the plot.
