A.M.I.
I just saw a psychological thriller on Netflix called "A.M.I." about a teenage girl who just lost her mother in a car wreck, then uses her phone's artificial intelligence to pretend that is her mother. She then has her father out messing around with one of her young friends, her boyfriend cheating on her with that same friend, only to have things get a lot more crazy and messed up as they went along. The movie really keeps its intensity going on through the end, which is an original and interesting one, to say the least. Those into the darker and more weird psychological thrillers should enjoy this one. ::cool::

DEADCON 2019
Famous youtube vloggers starring at a huge convention, are haunted by a...computer. This seemed like it was going to be quite good but fell a bit short. It was okay though. |
Dark Phoenix (2019) 8/10 Very cool movie. Has heart and mystery. Actually I liked this better than Apocalypse. Not many funny moments in this, and the interpersonal relationships are not particularly strong, and it's a bit more esoteric and subtle, but the symbolism and meaning is strong, action is done well, and builds up to many good moments.

Final Destination
I finally got to see the first two Final Destination movies, and they actually turned out to be two of the scarier movies I have seen in a long time. They really catch and hold on to your attention with the suspense always on, knowing something is about to happen, but not quite knowing when, where, or how! A lot of the death scenes are also things that actually could happen, which makes it even scarier. I also didn't know about Tony Todd playing the creepy coronor in there, even scarier than as the Candyman. I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the series soon. ::danger::

DEPRAVED 2019
Such a good modern take on Frankenstein......I'm not crying , you're crying!!! |
THE ENDLESS (2018). Had a hard time staying awake at first, but things pick up, although it's quite vague as to what's happening. Still pretty good on what must have been a small budget. My wife truly enjoyed it and said it reminded her of a episode of SUPERNATURAL with an H.P. Lovecraft side dish. ***

The Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson
What can I say... besides me almost falling asleep and being drawn to my phone while watching, it might have been one of the worst I've seen in a long time. The "horror" or "scary" elements were truly made for 6-year-olds and he wasted some good actors with this real life tragedy. Why do people have such a hard time making decent true crime movies? If you compare this to something like Zodiac or Extremly Wicked.... well, you can't even compare. Utter trash. |
Zombie Epidemic: An In Depth Look At The Walking Dead
This is a feature length documentary on zombies and zombie films, which features scenes from different zombie films from different time periods, along with footage of zombie encounters and interviews with those who either deal with those situations or those who have encountered attacks from zombies before. This includes scenes from the original "Night Of The Living Dead," "White Zombie," "The Brain That Wouldn't Die," "Oasis Of The Zombies," and a funny scene from "King OF The Zombies." It also includes the trailer for an underground indie zombie film and a couple of brief interviews with the guy who made it. There is another clip from another classic zombie film where the zombies come running through the movie screen to come after the movie going crowd, but I am not sure which film that scene is from yet. There are also clips of zombie swat teams catching and killing zombies, interviews with scientists about their research on the zombie virus, a zany scene with a zany preacher ranting about it"raining zombies," and an even zanier interview with a film maker making a zombie film called "Don Of The Dead," while yelling at and firing people on set during the interview. It also shows a clip of "Don Of The Dead"(fake movie inside of the movie) that looks overall killer and intense. There is also an interview with a survivalist explaining how he survived different zombie outbreaks before he and the crew have to turn around and run back to their getaway van as three zombies suddenly come out from the woods. Overall, this is worth a look for fans of the zombie genre, especially for the classic and B-horror zombie films. ::danger::

THE BAY 2012
A small town's 4th of July festivities are interrupted by a parasitic invasion in the water. It was ok. |

And in the same vein....... DOC OF THE DEAD (2014). OK doc about Zombies from fringe to mainstream, with lots of clips and interviews with people You would expect like George Romero, Stuart Gordon, Robert Kirkman, Tom Savini, Judith O'Dea and Greg Nicotero to name a few. Enjoyed this, but didn't seem focused and lots of bouncing around. Also, I really could have gone through life not being shown a clip from a XXX version of THE WALKING DEAD::shocked::::confused::. **1/2 |

Tenants of a run down building are under attack from mutant rat-like zombies. It sounds sleazy but was actually pretty good. |

SALVAGE 2006
A young girl is brutally murdered after being tricked into accepting a ride with a stranger. But the following day, she finds herself back in the store she works in like nothing had ever happened. This happens repeatedly, re-living her own murder until... I really enjoyed it but was still confused. |

Midway (2019) 7/10 -- Directed by Roland Emmerich. Good special effects, chronologically presented and historically accurate. The characters and relationships are relatively weak, but there isn't much lingering, and the pacing moves along fairly briskly.

Ratter (2015), directed by Branden Kramer.

RINGERS (2005). In the same vein as TREKKIES, this focuses on fans of all things JRR Tolkien. Pretty good history of JRR writing THE HOBBIT for his children and how it all escalated from there, particularly in the 1960's. Testimonials from various actors, musicians and some of the most rabid fans I've ever seen, particularly in the closed booth towards the end. ***

Vivarium 7/10
I really like these kind of weird mystery flicks. The person who casted Jonathan Aris as the real estate agent is a genius. Too bad his character didn’t have more screen time, cuz he was hysterical. |
