Recently watched all three PURGE movies.

The Purge
It was a decent little home invasion horror. Fantastic concept and great actors. However it doesn't really live up to it's great concept. Little bit boring in places but it was entertaining overall.

The Purge Anarchy
It was a great sequel. It expands on the mythology and gave us a great anti hero. More of an action thriller than a horror. Reminded me of Escape from New York. It also asks some very interesting moral questions. It did exactly what sequels should do.

The Purge Election Year
Essentially more of the same from the second one except with a more political agenda. Really interesting stuff. It was a great evolution of the themes and ideas from the previous movies. Definitely worth watching if you enjoyed the other ones.

Overall, The Purge movies are very interesting action horror thriller hybrids with some very interesting ideas and themes. Worth watching. I would love to see more from this franchise.

Morgan

"A corporate risk-management consultant must decide whether or not to terminate an artificially created humanoid being."

This movie started out so well. It was nice and suspenseful with interesting themes about morality and some surprisingly good drama. It had incredible directing, cinematography, writing and acting. Then it goes to shit. You can pinpoint the exact second it all goes to hell and turns into a mindless action thriller. Newbie Luke Scott has a promising career ahead of him because of how good the first half of the movie is, and I can forgive him for the disappointing second half. That doesn't make it a very good movie though.

5/10

Antibirth (2016)
D
Slow and kinda boring.
Fast forwarded the last 15 minutes because I couldn't care anymore about what happened.
Too bad. Casting, acting and directing were all ok. But the story was too thin.

Skiptrace (2016)
I.M.D.B.
A detective from Hong Kong teams up with an American gambler to battle against a notorious Chinese criminal.

(FYI - long time fan of Jackie Chan. Grew up watching and re-watching all his 80's/90's classics.)

I love Jackie, but the majority of his western movies leave a sour taste. With Skiptrace, I was surprised with how much action was in it, given he's in his 60's, and that the action was pretty good. There were quite a few humorous moments between him and Knoxville also. There were a couple of seriously cringeworthy moments (i.e. Jackie starts singing and the whole Mongolian tribe joins in for a very bizarre musical moment), but overall, entertaining enough to be an enjoyable experience.
7/10.

I want to see Jackie doing something else. He just about gets away with his clowning kung-fu, but while he can still physically pull it off, he doesn't look young enough for it. His action scenes should be powerful and experienced, while leaving the awesome environment orientated kung-foolery he choreographs so well for the younger actors to perform.

I Am Not A Serial Killer (2016)
I.M.D.B.
In a small Midwestern town, a troubled teen with homicidal tendencies must hunt down and destroy a supernatural killer whilst keeping his own inner demons at bay.

A good movie! Carried by a strong performance from Max Records, and it's great to see Christopher Lloyd in a serious role. Often times it's hard to look past the fact that "Hey, it's Doc!" but for me he managed to transcend that in this movie. I had zero expectations and had no idea what it was about before watching, and I enjoyed this one quite a bit.
8/10

THE NEON DEMON
 
after seeing some favourable reviews on here it happened to be thenext on my watching list.....

visually 11/10, breathtaking in every way, scene after scene.score 11/10 everything from incidentals to full scored pieces masterfully done.

script 8/10, was ok but didnt find myself hanging on every word.acting again 8/10, performaces were good but nothing excelled.

all over probably the best "horror" movie of this year in my humble opinion even tho i think it fills the psychological thriller bracket better.

9/10

Sounds interesting. Found out that it was a book first. Will add both to my list. ty. Though the main character's name is too cheesy, John Wayne Cleaver.

SIDE EFFECTS 2013


A rather convoluted affair about a young wife killing her husband whilst sleepwalking due to side effects caused by a new drug she started.

Slow going and not even really worth it in the end.

Blackalpaca 09-05-2016 05:35 PM

The new Fog was awful.

Blackalpaca 09-05-2016 05:44 PM

Watching House of the Devil. Great style. Very 80's.

TheBossInTheWall 09-05-2016 06:32 PM

Antibirth 2016

Natasha Lyonne was great. Basically playing the same character she plays in Orange is the New Black, even so she was good. The film had too much filler though. For me it felt like the directer wanted to make a Greg Araki body horror film in Michigan in the winter instead of an original film. At times I was close to turning it off. Side stories that are left open ended. The ending was fantastic.

So kinda like part 2?
I think the budget's probably the problem. Too bad... I'm sure that if there was enough money at least one of the Rampage movies would've been spectacular.

Morgan (2016) 6/10
It was not bad, but it wasn't good either. Very average sci-fi thriller, with final twist, which can be predicted in the first half of the movie. Although, it was well directed and I liked Anya Taylor-Joy in this role.

I honestly didn't guess the twist until like one or two scenes before they revealed it. I still wasn't surprised though.

jwilliams 09-06-2016 06:44 AM

I thought about this twist, more like a joke after the video, which scientist show Lee and then after few dialogs and observing, I thought about the possibility that this will happen and it happened. Although, I wouldn't call this twist very original, because I played the game with rather similar plot twist near the end.

Blackalpaca 09-06-2016 12:15 PM

The Cell was a surprisingly good movie.

Cirkeln a.k.a The Circle (2015)

https://s11.postimg.org/jxadc9is3/Cirkel.jpg

An otherworldly evil is slipping into a small town in Sweden. Six unrelated girls have been chosen to fight this evil. Together they must overcome their differences in order to save themselves and the world.

A Swedish teen-fantasy thriller about witches & magic (based on a Swedish best-selling novel). I was expecting something like Twilight, True Blood or Hunger Games shits but surprisingly it turned out quite decent with well written characters & simple but a fine story.

Rewatched Now You See Me because I couldn't remember enough of it to watch Now You See Me 2. The original is OK, not great, the sequel is awful. I gave up after 20 minutes. Typical Hollywood sequel. The first movie ends with a happily ever after, but they need that sequel $$$, so they spend the first half hour screwing up everything that was good about the ending of the first one. Thanks guys. You suck.

Friend Request (2016)

https://s16.postimg.org/ovv9hnf6t/fr...est_poster.jpg

Quote:

Laura is a popular college student who is highly active on social media, which includes her Facebook account (totaling over 800 friends!). She then receives a friend request from Marina Mills, a classmate she barely knows & who has no Facebook friends. Out of pity she accepts the request. After being messaged constantly by Marina she decides to lie about going out for her birthday in order to avoid her, however photos from the evening end up on Facebook and soon after Marina attacks Laura at school before filming herself committing suicide, which is posted all over Facebook. Following the suicide Laura and her friends come under attack from a demonic force that appears to be Marina out for revenge.
Initially it delivered few fairly done jump scares but later it seems they just ran out of idea on how to scare the audience more with sudden loud sound & creepy encounters of the ghost. Moreover the ending was also a let down, expected a lot more 'fun' at the finale. Overall, typical plot but not that bad, found it at least far better than Unfriended (2014).

The movie really sucks, but I wanted to watch a movie.

That's the last time I let a magic 8 ball tell me what to pick.

Central Intelligence (2016)
B/C
Dwayne Johnson was pretty funny in this one. Almost hilarious.
The man's certainly fit for comedy.
But Kevin Hart played another loud annoying character. I don't mind him as a person but his loudmouth characters are terrible.

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)
B-
The story felt a bit weak and Apocalypse didn't look the part.
He reminded me more of Star Wars' emperor when he should look more like Vader on steroids.
Everything else was great.
