Cargo (2018) Netflix 5/10
I tend to like this type of movie -- hazardous family journey, and Martin Freeman is easy to like, but to me this was mostly a yawn fest. I wasn't feeling the loving family sentiments the film was trying to convey. And everything else was soft old hat for folks who've already seen the classic zombie films. |
GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS (2016). My wife loves watching Jack Finch on YOUTUBE with his "Top 5's" and we put this on the NETFLIX cue to check it out. Pretty interesting story and a very good chilling turn by Glenn Close, but once was enough. ***

"The Irishman" (2019) 8/10
I guess if you've seen 1 Scorsese mafia movie you've seen 'em all. Same formula. That being said, I enjoyed it quite a lot and was entertained throughout the entirety of the 3,5 hours running time. But even with a movie as long as one of the extended Lord of the Rings episodes, the story still didn't manage to tell who Jimmy Hoffa really was. If you didn't know any better you'd think Hoffa was some guy who went to jail and couldn't get a job afterwards. I guess, if you really want to know you'll have to watch the movie "Hoffa" starring Jack Nicholson. And who the hell was the irishman? Was it THAT italian guy or THAT italian guy??? And one last thing. It took me more than a while to get used to the de-aging technology used on Deniro's face in the first hour. He looked like a character taken out of the Final Fantasy movie. He looked like 2011's Captain Haddock without a beard. God... This is what we have to get used to in the future.. |
"6 Underground" 2/10
A philosophical question. Can a turd be loud? Yes, yes it can.... If it's pulled out of Michael Bay's ass. |

I only ask because, good grief, the opening car chase is a long, long, long segment... I actually wondered if it was going to take up the entire film length. And I did not like that choice. However, after the long chase, it does root it self, just enough, to work. The mix of real stunts with the CG stunts is incredibly seamless, almost perfect. It's impressive. After being a bit annoyed the first 30 or so minutes (I was watching with quite a few family members, and didn't want bail/interrupt), I started to settle in, and enjoy it for what it was. It was pretty much nonstop action, swearing, vulgarity, one-liners, tongue-in-check sentiment. It's almost more of a test, practice film, like what you could add to a film with a story. |

However, I should say, I did like the original Bay 'Transformers' film, where the sentiment and story worked for me. |
I recently saw "Krampus: The Reckoning," which is overall good for a loose independent sequel, with a lot of good suspense, twists, and turns, as well as a good twist at the end on who the naughty girl actually is, not to give too much of a spoiler. I was overall impressed with that one.
I also saw "Good Tidings," that started off entertaining and interesting, but took a dive in the middle, with a lot of poor, sloppy editing, and a good amount of continuity issues. It ends up okay and entertaining, though. I found it worth a look for one time. I also saw "All Through The House," a Christmas slasher film that pays tribute to the ones from the 1970s and 1980s, and does an overall good job at it. Those who like the "Silent Night, Deadly Night" series, along with "Terror In Toyland," and the like should enjoy this one as well. ::devil:: |

The Shawshank Redemption Two things:
1) People should develop an above excellent marihuana strain and name it Morgan Freeman's voice. 2) This undisputable masterpiece will tug at your heartstrings - wether you want to or not. |

House Of Ravens, 2014. aka P.O.E. Pieces of Eldritch (P.O.E. 3). 7/10
Directors:Francesco Campanini Ricky Caruso Domiziano Cristopharo Alessandro Redaelli Edo Tagliavini Mirko Virgili King Pest was my favorite... Thou Art the Man – directed by Francesco Campanini Morella – directed by Ricky Caruso The Cask of Amontillado – directed by Domiziano Cristopharo King Pest – directed by Alessandro Redaelli Shadow – directed by Edo Tagliavini Never Bet the Devil Your Head – directed by Mirko Virgil |
Color Out of Space 6/10
Didn’t feel very Lovecraftian, but Cage did what he’s hired to do nowadays. The Turning 3/10 Of course they fucked it up. Nobody knows how to do these kind of horror movies anymore, except for Ari Aster and he wasn’t involved with this pathetic piece of shit. The boy from IT and the old hag did alright tho. |
Annon (2018) (Netflix original)
8/10 Real science fiction. In the near future, or alternate reality, all humans are implanted with an a local and Internet connection that records what they see and hear, a virtual reality recording, if you will. Seeing what someone did or did not do is easily accessible. A 'police detective' official (Clive Owen) investigates a series of murders... which hasn't been so difficult in a long time... if you can imagine this type of reality. The story alludes to obvious concerns of totalitarianism and (perhaps unintentional) allusions to 'Judgement Day. I respect this film's commitment to the science fiction topic it's engage in. That's exactly what I want in most sci-fis. The film has excellent production value, including the special effects and cinematography, which doesn't require anything big or flashy. There is suspense, but it's not the film's forte; and those looking for action, romance and comedy, or even character development, will likely find the film lacking. But for those looking for an intellectual engaging and thought-provoking sci-fi, this film delivers the goods. |

I just saw Netflix's adaptation of Stephen King's "1922," which is overall well done, and covers the story Stephen King wrote overall well. All of the roles were portrayed perfectly by some very good actors, along with a great director and a great editor. There is also a lot of great scenery in excellent picture quality on Netflix. The buildings, vehicles, and clothes were all looking as if they were back in that time as well. Those who enjoyed that story should not be disappointed. ::cool::
I also saw a weird but interesting psychological horror film called "Don't Knock Twice," which is overall intense and interesting. It also has a decent amount of twists and turns on who a real life child killer actually was and who was actually responsible for the hauntings happening in the story, making it appear to be one person, then another, etc. This also has plenty of awesome looking artsy scenes done very well with the props they had. There is also a bit of mind blower at the end... ::danger:: |
