Review: I really enjoyed Scott Derricksons Sinister and he followed it up with a very good horror flick here. It keeps you interested and on the edge of your seat the whole time. Not to many slow parts and there are some pretty creepy and terrifying moments. The tone and the dark hallways and dark basements and the creepy noises and the sudden jumps and scares will make you jump a few times yourself. I looked away a few times just because, youll see. A pretty decent story involving soldiers in Iraq and what happens to them there and then what proceeds and how Eric Banas character gets involved while responding to a domestic disturbance call involving one of those soldiers, and it takes off from there. Eric Bana is pretty bad-ass here, as is Joel McHale. They are tough cops from the Bronx who see some pretty insane stuff over the course of a few shifts. Olivia Munn is a babe and plays a great wife who cares and does great with little screen time. Its a supernatural/demon/serial killer flick all rolled into one. If you enjoy horror flicks like I do, and the supernatural and demon stuff, def check this out. Not much gore, just very dark and creepy with its share of make you jump moments. Not many flaws if any. Check it out!

Review: This is the single most inspiring film I have ever seen. The acting is flawless and the emotional roller coaster ride, even knowing the story, is heart stopping at times. There are no punches pulled about what this man, and so many others who did not survive, endured in prison camps. It is a testament to human spirit and endurance. Angela Jolie has made a place for herself in movie greatness. You owe it to yourself to see this film. The cinematography is wonderful and captures the emotion of the film. The acting is amazing. The directing is masterful. The story is a true one. The hero is inspirational. There is nothing, and no emotion, that this film fails to address. If you want to see the things the human mind, body and soul can overcome, then watch this film. You will be awed and inspired. The lessons in this movie will make you a better person.

Review: This movie was both fun and terrifying. Jake Gyllenhaals performance as Lou Bloom will certainly frighten you. He is brilliant when paired with the amazing monologue style rants written for him.Lou Bloom is a driven man reminiscent of a sociopath who finds he has a talent as nightcrawling in that he takes videos of true crimes as they are happening to be broadcast on the news. His motivation and seeming lack of empathy allow him to break through and take the controversial images, and sell them with a strong aptitude for negotiation.As a character, he grows more and more motivated and seems to learn his business in such a way to bring him amazing success, but to the determinant, perhaps, of his assistant and the victims of these crimes.The writer/ director of this movie (making his directorial debut) certainly understands fear and comedy. The simplest scene was made into a laugh by the angles and cuts.Its funny, and enjoyable, but still terrifying enough to feel like a real horror thriller.

Review: Im not even quite sure where to begin with this movie. I mean, I had decent hopes for it. Leading up to it, so many people seemed to be taking it way to seriously. I mean, come on. Its about giant talking turtles who fight crime. Its not supposed to be that serious. Hoo, boy.I guess Ill just start by saying this (spoilers ahead), the changes they made to the origin story dont make any goddamn sense, both in terms of simple logic and quality narrative structure. They completely removed any connection between Splinter and the Shredder, so say goodbye to any emotional connection or tension that that would have brought. And this version Splinter wasnt the ninja master, Hamato Yoshi or even a pet/student of Yoshi. In fact, Yoshi seems to have been omitted completely. So, how does Splinter become a ninja master himself? He reads a book. Im not even joking. After both he and the turtles mutate he finds a book and teaches himself. And it wasnt even at the very beginning. I mean when Splinter begin teaching himself, the turtles are already walking and talking. He not only learned all of ninjitsu but also somehow mastered it, without any instruction or sparring, in less than ten years? AND he taught it to the turtles? BULLSHIT.The turtles themselves are one of the few not-terrible parts of the movie. All of there individual personalities are right where they should be but we are also kind of short-changed on the amount of interaction they have with each other. A bunch of brothers together, getting up to shenanigans? What a great, natural way to have conflict! But no, the movie follows April way too much.All of that is indicative of a larger problem with the writing. Both of the villains are BORING. The pacing is uneven and a lot of the dialogue is forced and ham-handed, Michelangelo was the worse in that respect. And believe me, I get it. Mikey is the loud mouth, party turtle. But is is possible (kind of necessary) that if a main character is annoying, to also be likable. Yes, it possible. Severus Snape. Perry Cox. Deadpool. These are all characters that are bad or annoying people but still likable as characters. After a few minutes of listening to Michelangelo, I just wanted him to shut the hell up. It doesnt get any better with the villains. I dont remember the last time I watched a movie with such boring villains. Instead of just sticking with one main villain, the Shredder, we now have two…for some reason. WE have Eric Sachs, who is a rich scientist/industrialist and the Shredder, an evil ninja master with no personality. Eric Sachs is working for the Shredder for money? But isnt he already like a billionaire with a castle on a mountain and his own skyscraper?Doe he need more money? What the hell for? Shredder is the most shallow and one-dimensional out of this whole damn movie. Were not really told anything of his back story or shown any of his motivation for anything. The foot clan is also no longer a group of ninja warriors, theyre…guys with guns. Completely useless guys with guns (thatll be relevant later).They also unnecessarily tie April, Sachs and Aprils dad into the turtles back story…for some reason. We dont even really meet Aprils father. And April is the one who saved them from the lab fire that killed her father…or wait, was it Eric who killed her father? The movie seems to confused on that point. And instead of keeping the baby turtles (like any little girl who likes animals would do) she…dumps them in the sewer? What the hell? The who thing is convoluted and doesnt make any damn sense.April ONeil is uninteresting and stupid. Seriously, I mean she is unintelligent. She is supposedly an educated journalist but spends so much time trying to convince he boss of a story of talking, crime- fighting turtles without one single goddamn lick of evidence. Vernon Fenway is apparently supposed to be the comic relief but none of his jokes are funny and his sole role in the film seems to be driving April around. And why the…

Review: There are bad movies that are just intolerable to sit through. And then theres Into the Storm.Jan de Bonts 1996 Twister came into cinemas like and excuse the pun a blast of fresh air. Whilst Into the Storm is not exactly a remake (there are no cows present at all for example!), it shares many of the key characteristics that made Twister such a fun popcorn movie: a truly terrible script, some pretty awful acting in places, a predictable plot, and the occasional mind-bogglingly improbable scene, but all redeemed by some slam-dunk fantastic visual effects.Firstly, the script. Sneak a shot glass and a flask into the cinema and play the new drinking game: a shot for every time anyone says Are you alright?. Youll be legless before the first hour is up.Secondly the acting. This is a cast where the most well-known faces are Richard Armitage (Thorin in the Hobbit films) and Matt Walsh (Mike McLintock in the excellent Veep). And I dont like to be harsh on a young cast of actors in the early dawn of their careers, but lets say that some of the cast were probably cast more for their looks than their acting talent. I also struggled with Armitages single dad/school principal character who in certain scenes (particularly one in the front of the stormchasers van) looks the spitting image of Leslie Nielsens Dr Rumack from Airplane. I almost expected him to go off into that character at any moment No, the school wont be safe. And dont call me Shirley.One of the youngsters that I think did make an impact was Nathan Kress in his movie debut as the younger son Trey.The predictable plot. No spoilers, but theres a small town and lots of tornadoes: bigger than any storm thats ever been (since Twister anyway). The plot, as it is, centres around a failing documentary film crew trying to capture good footage before the tornado season is up: with backers funding drying up, the pressure is on. Walsh plays the hard-pressed producer/director sparking off the Helen Hunt character Allison, played by the fetching Sarah Wayne Callies, a data-besotted scientist for who, it seems, science only works for when good luck is in her favour. Aside from the film crew, the remainder of the cast are the residents and schoolkids of the backwater Oklahoma town of Silverton, with the usual disaster movie will they/wont they (die) tensions as the tornadoes wreak their havoc. Humour is injected through a couple of rednecks intent on making their fortune through Jackass-style video clips on Youtube.The improbable scenes. Again no spoilers, but one of the characters meets an end that is massively improbable, poetic, beautifully shot and ironic . but also snort-worthily funny. And why suddenly does sleepy old Silverton suddenly reveal itself to have a MAJOR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT with dozens of Jumbo jets waiting to be lifted into the skies? Whilst a memorable special effects scene, it makes absolutely no sense at all. Its almost as if the filmmakers got to the end of the film and found a million dollars of contingency funding they hadnt used: What can we do with this? Oh, I know!. Bizarre.And those effects! This is no Sharknado! The special effects are all top notch, including a spectacular scene where a twister gobbles up a petrol station and all of its burning fuel which is a masterclass in CGI. I have no idea where you would even start in developing that.The director is James Cameron protégé Steven Quale (2nd unit on Avatar and Titanic and director of the passable Final Destination V). And all in all, I think he does a pretty good job. The film is massively helped by a sensible 90 minute running time, which is all the light plot could really sustain anyway. And it is a good decision to adopt (in part) a Cloverfield type of video blog format (part documentary footage; part high school video time capsule interviews) that holds the interest well.So, in summary, this is a terribly good bad film and well deserving of your summer popcorn money. Just about everyone came out o…

Review: Getting worser and cheaper by the year. The first 2 movies were really good and they had a soul and a real storyline. They were believable plus their production was much better that all of the other episodes that have come out. In my opinion Step Up All In has lost its way, even with the older stars because its gone from good to idiotic. People just start dancing at random times and music will be automatically turned up and theres always that RIGHT song that they know to dance to. Plus the acting quality has gone down a lot too. Quite disappointed what has happened after the two good ones, ruined the movies for money. Please stop doing these movies or bring back the old soul, believable storyline, good music, the directors and other staff.

Review: Just what does it mean to really grow up? As kids, many of us no doubt assumed that maturity and independence would naturally follow once we hit a certain age. But, as most of us have since discovered, that isnt necessarily true: people can easily be adults in age but children in attitude. Laggies, an affable film with quirky indie sensibilities and a great cast, explores these issues with quite a lot of charm and genuine humour, although its odd plotting fails to live up to its characters in the end.Megan (Keira Knightley) is stuck. Ten years after graduating from high school, her friends have all moved on with their lives and accumulated the accoutrements of adulthood: jobs, husbands, babies. Only Megan remains stalled in permanent adolescence, temping for her dad and living with her doting high-school boyfriend Anthony (Mark Webber). When Anthonys proposal of marriage forces her to contemplate leaving her commitment-free comfort zone, Megan takes refuge in the home of Annika (Chloe Moretz), a high-school girl who begs Megan for help in buying alcohol. In the course of a week, Megan discovers that theres more to life than idling in first gear, and draws closer to Annika and her dad, lawyer Craig (Sam Rockwell).Theres actually quite a lot to enjoy in Laggies, even if its ending is a foregone conclusion. Andrea Seigels screenplay is sharp and smart, developing her characters into something more than stereotypes. Theres a gentle, deep undertow of understanding in Megans budding friendship with Annika – one which brings them both to a bittersweet meeting with Bethany (Gretchen Mol), the mom who abandoned Annika for a new career as a lingerie model. As played tenderly by Knightley and Rockwell, the way in which Megan is drawn towards Craig also makes sense, even if their connection feels a little forced.The performances are also top-notch. Knightley delivers one of her most fascinating creations yet: a woman who has drifted through rather than lived her life for years, not daring to sever ties to her past but afraid to forge into the future. Her Megan is spiky and sweet, appealing even when the characters flaws threaten to overwhelm. Rockwells part is a bit undercooked, but hes such a great actor that he lends Craigs attraction to Megan all the credibility denied it by the script. Moretz, too, is great as always, slipping into the troubled skin of Annika and creating another lost girl with plenty of spunk.Where Laggies falters is in its final act. The last third of the film has a few great moments, including a heartrending encounter between Megan and Anthony that shouldnt work as well as it does. But it also degenerates steadily into cliché, abandoning much of its offbeat humour and complex characters for twists both odd (Megans reaction to a car accident begs the question: is that really how a grown-up should respond to the situation?) and predictable (Megans epiphany is a textbook rom-com moment).In effect, Laggies stops growing, just as Megan did for ten years of her life. At the end, it provides easy answers for its characters after spending most of its running time suggesting that there are no such things: that the real world is complicated and people arent perfect, that growing up takes effort and doesnt happen by default. This doesnt mean that the film isnt watchable – it very much is, and will reward viewers with some truly lovely moments of wry humour and quirky characterisation along the way. But its undeniable charm is also what makes Laggies ending all the more disappointing.

Review: I wondered what the director did to get the perfect grunt. Did he have the star grunt a few different ways and the director said thats the one. Maybe he grunts the way he wanted and the actor did his best to copy it. Or maybe he gave the star free range.That brought more than a few laughs at the premiere. If his jowls werent already well pronounced we might have seen Timothys jaw drop at that comment/question.Anyway, as with impressionist paintings the overall is minimalistic and imaginative. In this film so goes the dialog as well.More memorable lines would have been nice.

Review: When I first heard about this film and its pedigreed credentials: Director Ridley Scott, Starring Michael Fassbender, Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz and Brad Pitt, I was excited to see it. However, because of the very poor reviews and box office performance Stateside, I have tempered my expectations before I went to see it. And so should you.The Counselor refers to the nameless character played by Michael Fassbender. He appears to be a very successful lawyer, happily engaged to a gorgeous, church-going girl (Penelope Cruz). However, for some reason this film never really completely discloses, he still felt the need to get himself involved with a Mexican drug cartel for additional cash, peppered with colorful characters, like the wild-haired Reiner (Javier Bardem), his slinky girlfriend Malkina (Cameron Diaz) and the urban cowboy Westray (Brad Pitt). Will the Counselor get away with both the girl and cash?When I saw in the opening credits that the script was by Cormac McCarthy, who was responsible for No Country for Old Men (which I did not exactly like), I braced myself for one puzzling and boring ride.However, it was not exactly all boring after all. There were those pockets of incredible tension and violence involving necks which you will not soon forget. Michael Fassbender was okay as the titular Counselor, but there was nothing about his character which was fully-explored. He is obviously greedy enough to risk everything he had to get himself involved in nefarious criminal activities, but we do not see why. So we end up not caring at all about him. We actually see other characters counsel him, than him counseling others.Cameron Diazs femme fatale character Malkina was unexpectedly well- developed. She is certainly no dumb blond bimbo here. Her scenes though were the most perplexing as to where she was coming from. She has a scene on the windshield of a luxury car that was as head-scratching as it was sensually acrobatic.Javier Bardem is really very comfortable playing these cool sinister types. Penelope Cruz is too good to be true. I expected more out of their characters than what ended up in the final edit we saw, which was disappointing.I found the character of Brad Pitt the most interesting one of all. Every time Westray was on the screen, the story perks up and even the long conversations he has with the Counselor actually made sense. Too bad Pitt was only in about a third of the film or less.The Counselor comes across as a slick action-filled crime caper film at first glance. However as you watch it, you will realize that it was actually mostly long-winded, unrealistically philosophical conversations and monologues from the most unlikely of characters. I think the main problem is the turgid and generally lifeless script which the talents of the director nor the actors could save.

Review: I had high expectations for this movie, especially after having seen Divergent. The fact that it has an IMDb rating of 7/10 and is described as a Drama/Thriller, also helped me make up my mind.Well, let me tell you, it was two hours of my life Im never getting back. The movie starts slow and stays there. The pace never picks up. Whoever decided to have this movie labeled a Thriller should have his head checked. The only thing thrilling about the movie is the nude scenes which are as misleading as the whole movie.This movie just drags and drags and then drags some more. And the revelation is as anti-climactic as the whole movie. This movie reminds me of the song MacArthurs Park – someone made a movie, left it out in the rain, and I picked it up like an idiot. The movie should have stayed out in the rain. Too bad I cant give it a 0.
