I have no idea what I just watched. The story sounded great but then they had some narrator taking away all the focus and telling us about the main character rather than letting him show us himself what he was. Took away all suspense. Also could've used more effects that stuck around longer.

GINGER SNAPS (2000). Interesting premise on werewolves with some good scenes, but for sheer werewolf kick ass, I'll take DOG SOLDIERS over this. **1/2

But imagine you're a 14-17 yearold watching it. You might have a much different reaction. I think its actually good from that perspective.

If you're 14-17 year old female, then maybe.

Didn't the narrator told you what you watched? :p

I think it's a good movie.
Original, cool scenery, decent score, "unhappy" ending,...
I actually wouldn't mind seeing more similar ones.

"The Darkness" 2-3/10

This was only 1 and a half hour long? Felt like 3 hours.

The director should stick to movies about serial killers in the future.

"The Do Over" 6/10

It was nice to see another person than Sandler in the lead role for a change, even tho he came in very close second. The guy playing the tall swedish/german guy was the funniest person in the movie, not the two leads. And then there was Paula Patton who was just really, really hot.

The story was so-so and kinda lost my interest halfway through as it wasn't really going anywhere. But the ending had a refreshing serious twist which is new for a Sandler flick.

This review is simply devastating for the horror genre. At least one can look forward to Ouija 2...2016 is turning into a forgettable year.

BIG BAD WOLF 2006

If Disney made a gory werewolf movie, threw in some explicit sexual implications and an R rating..this would be it. I think.

Then don't. I do not believe this is the movie that will win anybody over.

The Others
I... I can't believe I'm going to say this... Shyamalan did it better.

I beg to differ. Being of said age and gender, when I first saw Gingersnaps, I recall not being fond of it at all. I put up with enough of my own "woman issues" in the real world, I wasn't interested in watching a girl go through hers too. A werewolf is often used as a change metaphor, but they take away the metaphor aspect when they have the frickin' change right in the movie. If anything it served as a double ''fuck you'' to the main character.

Want to say the ending was good, but the narrator kind of spoiled that a long time ago with the whole 'poses and is a shapeshifter' thing. Maybe I'm just not big on narration.

Screw reviews and critics. That movie's feckin' funny. Laughed out loud several times.
Best Sandler movie in a long time.

I really liked The Others. I even bought it but still haven't watched it a second time. Sixth Sense might have been better but I saw that one after The Others.

You're not the only one who got annoyed by the narrator.
When I was researching this movie I noticed other people with the same complaint. I didn't bother me. I thought was kinda helpful since I didn't have any subtitles.

Not alone. I've never seen a movie he's starred in that I liked. He's not funny.

Yeah...it actually felt like a Bollywood film in Hollywood-disguise! The story, script all were more suitable for a regular Indian rom-com dance flick.

I personally found Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy, Little Nicky and Zohan Hilarious. Tho I must admit that lately he seems like a person who hates what he's doing.

He seemed to have a good time in The Ridiculous 6.
Looked like they were all having a blast.

I thought he looked totally uninspired in that one, just like his many movies before it.

I tend to like his acting when he hasn't written any of film: Wedding Singer, Click, 50 First Dates. The stuff he writes is not my cup of tea. Though I did like the turky-lurky song.

Could it be that he just looks like this now because he got older?

Doesn't have a comedians face anymore. Time for him to do some voice acting. ::devil::

Hotel Transylvania is a good start. I view Sandler the same way I view Will Ferral, Ray Ramono, and Ben Stiller. They're better heard and not seen, as they're about as hilarious as hemorrhoids. With voice acting to animation though, completely different scenario. Like taking a gun out of a toddler's hands and giving it to a Marine.

Cowboys aren't supposed to be upbeat.

I like Will Ferrell and most of his movies. Anchorman is a comedy masterpiece imo. And he proved he's good at playing serious roles too. Just watch check out Stranger Than Fiction and Everything Must Go.

I agree about Will Ferrell. That guy still got it.

I think my favorite Ferrell movie has to be Blades of Glory.

"You smell of urine"
"A lot?"

But he is funniest in supporting roles. Same can be said about Ben Stiller.

"Never Back Down: No Surrender" 6/10

An old school martial arts flick with a classic story, decent acting from the leads and some funny lines here and there. Too bad the fights were short and few and far between.

Watch out for cameos by JeeJa Yanin and Tony Jaa. Especially Jaa has a performance you've never seen before. OUUUUUUUW!!

Kill Me, Freddy Krueger! 05-29-2016 06:32 AM

Hush (2016), I don't know why it's praised... it's mediocre, nothing special or groundbreaking. Yet another reason not to trust sites like Rotten Tomatoes (where it holds a 100% rating) & IMDb (where it has a 6,7 out of 15k votes).

Just saw X-Men Apocalypse.

I love superhero movies and comic books in general. I really loved Apocalypse. A lot better than I expected considering the somewhat middle of the road reaction the movie got from critics.

Turned out it was a great movie with good performances especially from Michael Fassbender. It may not be the best X-Men movie but it was definitely one of the great ones.

30 days of night (2007)
4/10

After the intriguing setup... in a small isolated Alaskan town, with dogs, phone and electricity killed, survive 30 days of night against vampire creatures... it was unimaginative, cliche, mechanical, repetitive... making it dull in 2016. Because the characters lacked depth and accessibility, the film's attempts at evoking emotion were painfully futile. Good production value.
