Daddy's Home (2015)
This was a disappointment because it could've been great. But this was just weak. Too much adult matter for children and too lame to appeal to teens and adults. |
MAD MAX:FURY ROAD (2015). Had a major headache by the end of this..way too loud and really not one that needed to be made. Stick with the Mel MAX'es. *1/2

Haunting of Seacliff Inn (1994). It was a decent TV movie and competently put together.

MAD MAX:FURY ROAD (2015) 3/10 I just could not get into Fury Road, no relatable characters, Lot's cliches.. Compare this to the enjoyable The Road Warrior (1981)... each of the bad guys had their own personal look and personality. They were people, relatable. Max talked, and talked to other people, and they talked back to him, and we knew them and cared about them, and we knew everybody's motivations, and we could anticipate what they were going to do and why. What a concept. The Road Warrior (1981) 9/10 |
Mad Max: Fury Road should've been plain Furiosa Road or something.
A spin-off set in the Mad Max universe or else a simple rip-off/tribute. I just hate it when they attach the name of a know franchise for publicity. If they left the Max character from the movie and focused a little more on Furiosa we would have had an somewhat original movie. That being said, I don't hate the movie but I think it's overrated. |
I feel like Doomsday was closer to the mark.

Indigenous
This movie kills me because not only was the filming and scenery gorgeous, but the story had some potential. But the monster wasn't very creative, a lot of things were left open ended, and it was a found footage but it didn't STAY a found footage. And don't worry if you happen to walk into this movie like... 3-5 minutes in. The video at the beginning you only see another fifty THOUSAND times!! *does NOT recommend* |

On another note: I just read about this movie called Sheep Skin. "A group of punk rockers kidnap a business man because they believe he is a werewolf." |

Hey Kat did you like this movie??? Mud- 2012. I pretty much like anything McConaughey does. |
Honeymoon
Ugh another unsatisfying payoff. Though much better than Indigenous, they didn't explain things fully in the end and we're kind of left to make our own assumptions. I give the movie credit though, the suspense and buildup was paced very well. The changes in the wife start so subtle you wonder if her hubby is maybe worrying over nothing. But the longer it goes on the more you just want to know what the hell is going on with her. And that's what made the climax so disappointing. Quote:

Watched Roth's Green Inferno....pretty mild. Found the body dye very inspiring tho. Also thought the Chop-man in this flick would be a good Halloween costume, really dug his weapon...nice primitive piece.
Plus the priestess in this one kinda reminded me of a gf I usedta have...... Also watched Shamaylan's The Visit...again pretty mild. |

8/10 Good sci-fi adventure. Kind of Apollo 13 meets Intersteller. Both of which I thought were better. Intersteller was more interesting and exciting; and Apollo 13 was funner, funnier and more exciting. |
10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)
First, this isn't a sequel to Cloverfield nor does it take place in the same universe as Cloverfield, so if you go see this, don't get mad that the Clover monster isn't ripping through the city again. Now that that's out of the way, this is going to be a completely spoiler-free review, unless you don't want to know about, um, character names. But seriously, the less you know about this movie, the better, so I'm not going to give anything away that wasn't in any of the trailers. In 10 Cloverfield Lane, a woman, Michelle, gets in a car accident and wakes up in an underground bunker. Her captor, Howard claims to have saved her life and that everyone outside the bunker is dead. Another man is also in the bunker, named Emmet, and tensions arise between the three as Howard becomes increasingly suspicious, and Emmet and Michelle mount an escape plan. While Cloverfield, was an intense, in-your-face monster flick, 10 Cloverfield Lane is a completely different beast altogether. Instead of the vast area of New York City, this movie takes place in the confines of a doomsday bunker, so the scares come from paranoia and suspense than a giant monster attacking the city. All three cast members are excellent in their roles, especially John Goodman as Howard. His awesomely creepy performance makes this one of his most memorable roles. Mary Elizabeth Winstead and John Galleger Jr. are incredible as well. You may recognize her as Wendy from Final Destination 3. Winstead's character definitely isn't a damsel in destress here; Michelle is crafty and smart like Nancy from A Nightmare on Elm Street. John Galleger Jr. also provides some witty comic relief while also seeming a bit suspicious himself. 10 Cloverfield Lane is a restrained, suspenseful and well-crafted psychological thriller that calls to mind both Misery and The Twilight Zone, and if this anthology series continues, it'll be hard to match the standards set by this and its predecessor. 9/10 |

Graveyard Story
I believe it's from '92, but it's filmed so low budget it looks more like a '72. Not a bad story though. A few small plot holes but none bad enough to take you away from the focus. If anything it was mildly annoying at worst. I picked it up at Salvation Army for a buck after reading the back. It's a murder mystery/suspense type, close enough to horror to spark my interest and post about it I think. A man with no children sort of ''adopts'' a dead girl at a graveyard he frequently visits, and becomes curious and concerned about what happened to her when he reads on her stone that she died tragically. So he hires a PI to find the answers. If you're a fan of Colombo or Magnum PI then this might entertain you. Quote:
Anyway you know me. Always up for watching anything lycan! Despite the trailer looking painfully low budget. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4G0ClUKwtk It does look nicely suspenseful, and i don't think it gave anything much away, which is rare in trailers these days. But then again it is from like... 2-3 years ago? I always feel shame when I'm shown or asked about werewolf movies and it ends up being one I haven't seen. But honestly, if I wasn't recommended or asked about something new to me, then I would feel like I'm wasting my time here. So thanks, Baron. ::smile:: |
The Other Side of the Door
I liked it. It was an original story, the acting was decent (the little girl creeped me out). My only complaint would be not enough Jeremy Sisto. 8/10 |
