The Funhouse Massacre review

Posted : 7 years, 10 months ago on 24 June 2016 10:08 (A review of The Funhouse Massacre)

I enjoy Robert Englund and what I read of this movie sounds pretty fun. It has a few other horror legends in it as well like Courtney Gains and Clint Howard. Andy Palmer has only done one other film which I've never heard of. Actor Ben Begley has also written one other film which I doubt anyone knows about. This is the only writing credit for Renee Dorian. Anyways let's get this show on the road. What kind of journalist looks like that? Yeah the way she looks I'm seriously doubting she even believes in God. Do cannibals ever look normal (no I don't consider Hannibal to look normal lol)? I like seeing these short little backstories for each of the psychos. Now that makes sense! Okay that was kind of funny. Ah that must be like what happened in the movie Waiting. Ouch that looks painful! This is a pretty ingenious set up. It's Halloween man you can hardly trust any of those calls. This is some seriously twisted shit haha! I was wondering who would be first out of our main people. I had a feeling that was going to be used for something. Wow that was actually really disturbing and well done. I love the mixture of horror, comedy, and brutality. Lol it looked like he purposefully tripped himself lol. Damn that was kind of cool in a twisted way. Gee whiz! Some of these deaths are definitely not for the faint of heart. That's why you don't surprise someone with a gun lol. Well I definitely didn't see that coming. The ending was good, but I kind of figured what was about to happen. There is a scene after the credits too so if you liked the rest make sure to wait for it. It actually has some fairly unexpected aspects of originality. It's definitely not for people with a weak stomach or a goofy sense of humor. I personally got a kick out of it. I recommend it for the true horror fans.

The Rezort review

Posted : 7 years, 10 months ago on 23 June 2016 08:06 (A review of The Rezort)

I am a zombie movie fanatic. Besides slasher films it's one of my favorite sub-genre of horror. This one sounds like an interesting premise. It's kind of Land of the Dead meets Jurassic Park. Oh this is directed by the guy who did the first two Outpost movies (the only good ones). This writer though I've never heard of. It also has a few good actors in my opinion at least. So I guess our main character wants revenge on the undead. Not sure all too much about her story. Other people look at this like a thrill ride. Okay I wonder what Dougray Scott's character is up to. This is kind of demented, but it still kind of looks like fun. So are these kind of smart zombies or something? Of course things start to go down at night when you can barely see. Well that answers that. Also that would have been terrifying! Oh jeez that was intense. I knew it had to happen but damn. This is really making me grip the edges of my seat with its intensity. Oh no come on! Are you freaking kidding me!? Do it! Karma is a bitch. That part reminded me of 28 Weeks Later. I knew that was going to happen. I wasn't expecting that ending though. Okay this is actually really well done for a under the radar sort of film. The production is nice. The acting is fairly good. You are actually interested in the characters. There is even a possibility of a sequel of sorts. This is probably one of the better zombie films recently sense it doesn't get dragged down by Hollywood nonsense. If you are a zombie fanatic like me I highly recommend this one.

Allegiant review

Posted : 7 years, 10 months ago on 21 June 2016 07:45 (A review of Allegiant)

I personally like this series. I think many don't like it because they are tired of these dystopian stories or they are book fans who don't like the adaptation. I find the scenario to be quite intriguing. Robert Schwentke returns as the director from the previous film. I generally enjoy all of his films so I doubt I will be disappointed in that aspect. Noah Oppenheim was a writer of The Maze Runner which I really liked. Adam Cooper and Bill Collage are a bit wishy washy. They wrote the terrible Transporter reboot, but they also did the hilarious Accepted. Anyways let's see what happens. It looks like the truth has really set them free in terms of being free from being in factions. Well damn I was hoping that would have gone another way. He is such a manipulative little worm lol. I like how they stay consistent with how the characters are. That wall climbing was pretty awesome looking. Are you kidding me? Why was that necessary? The look of the outside world is very unique and in an odd way beautiful. Okay that was a cool shot. Damn this for being PG-13 lol. I don't know if I can trust these people after what happened with the last set of people who came off as good. There is some seriously cool technology here. Yeah that's definitely not cool. Ah all these twists and turns. That fight in the plane was pretty cool. In fact whenever Four fights it's pretty awesome. Good lord Peter is such a snake. You just never can trust him. I was wondering how everything would turn out there. I knew I would like this. I wonder what this will mean for the final film. I liked seeing all the familiar faces as well as seeing some new ones. One thing I see that's getting a bit repetitive in the series though is the new people who seem like good guys always end up being the new bad guys. Also the fact that Peter always betrays both sides. I'm excited to see the final outcome. A thing I like is that they didn't call the final films part 1 and part 2. Fans of the movie series may enjoy this, but I can't speak for readers of the books.

Kill Command review

Posted : 7 years, 10 months ago on 19 June 2016 11:40 (A review of Kill Command)

So I remember seeing the trailer for this and being impressed. The names involved aren't very huge, but that doesn't always matter if the story and acting is done well. It looks like this is the debut for writer/directer Steven Gomez. Let's see how he fairs as a first timer. So far it's okay. Not much going on yet except getting to know the characters and sort of the world. It definitely has a mysterious vibe about it. Not sure yet what it is though. What exactly is she an android or just modified? Well that answers that. Something wicked i amiss. Well damn I wasn't expecting that! Those are some brutal sounding gunshots. That's not at all concerning! I love these robot designs. That went a different and more unique route than I had anticipated. I wasn't expecting this to feel like it has horror elements, but it does. Damn that was actually pretty gut wrenching. Well that doesn't seem like a good sign at all. The final battle was pretty good. The action is great and intense. It's in my opinion unpredictable. I definitely recommend people check this out. It's a nice little hidden gem.

The Call Up (2016) review

Posted : 7 years, 10 months ago on 15 June 2016 10:18 (A review of The Call Up (2016))

I enjoy video game style movies like Gamer so I figured I would give this one a shot. This looks to be the debut for writer/director Charles Barker. Let's hope it's a good one. The actors are mostly unknowns so it's a 50/50 chance. The opening credits were interesting enough. It's always sad when nice people get made fun of simply for looking or being different. In fact I never really like it in general, but hey it's a part of life. Also it just makes it so much more interesting to see what will happen with them. They definitely have some interesting gamer tags. That's some really cool, but also rather terrifying technology. I wish it wasn't so obvious that the Sergeant was part of the "game". That quiet guy geeked out out of nowhere lol. I wonder when and how the twist will reveal itself. Haha that terrorist just sat there like really dude? Oh damn I wasn't expecting that. Okay now it's seriously getting good. That was a badass reveal! Well part of the twist isn't actually what I was expecting it to be. I don't understand why the hell this girl went if she doesn't play these kind of games. She is just aggravating now. What a predicament to be in. Damn that's messed up. I wonder what will happen with that situation. Ah it's about time. That level is just twisted. I swear some of these characters go back and forth with likability. Well damn I guess friendly fire is turned on! That was a really smart move. Oh man what a dilemma. I have a feeling I know what is going to happen there. I was wondering how that was possible. A nice unexpected twist that I never saw coming. A good ending to an actually pretty fun and well done movie. I think this was a good start for newcomer Charles Barker. I hope to see more from him in the future. I don't know about others, but this is my kind of movie.

The Trigger Effect (1996) review

Posted : 7 years, 10 months ago on 15 June 2016 08:09 (A review of The Trigger Effect (1996))

I have actually never heard of this before. I ended up coming across this while exploring Netflix. I read the description and it caught my attention. I also think the cast is pretty nice for something under the radar. This is the only film written by James Burke. As for David Koepp he is really well known for writing and directing. As a director he was unfortunately behind Mortdecai. He did also do Premium Rush and Secret Window which were both okay. As a writer he succeeded with many like the first two Jurassic Parks and Mission: Impossible. His failure however was only Zathura so far in my opinion. Well that's an interesting beginning. Wow I swear it's crazy seeing these actors so much younger. Profoundly evil sounds about right. Now it shall soon begin. The way the world is now I could see it going even more insane if it happened. Man I bet he doesn't know how truly close he was there. It's crazy how much we rely on power so much these days. I wouldn't trust that guy with a gun the way he is being with it. Some people really aren't cut out for a broken world. I wonder how that could be possible. Tension is definitely arising. It's definitely a different kind of take on the whole post apocalyptic kind of story. It's already hard to trust Michael Rooker seeing as he always plays a villainous sort of character. Well damn that was pretty intense! Desperate calls call for desperate measures. Okay that was not how I was expecting it to all end. It was a truly interesting look at our society. That was actually really well done. It isn't about the why of the situation, but rather the effect it has on the people who experience it. It isn't perfect, but it's a great watch. It's a bit on the slow side as well. I recommend checking it out though for sure. Especially if you like apocalyptic types of movies.

Kung Fu Panda 3 review

Posted : 7 years, 10 months ago on 15 June 2016 02:26 (A review of Kung Fu Panda 3)

I highly enjoyed the first one. The second one was decent. I'm not sure how I feel about there being a third one. I'm going to watching it though, since I can't leave a story unfinished. Jennifer Yuh returns to director's chair once again. This time she is joined by unknown director Alessandro Carloni. Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger have been the continuous writers for the entire trilogy. They are also the ones who came up with middle two Alvin and the Chipmunk movies unfortunately. There are many returning voices from both of the previous movies as well as a few new ones. Four of Angelina Jolie's kids have parts here lord. Bryan Cranston and J.K. Simmons join the cast which is awesome! Well that's a fun way to do the Dreamworks logo. The CGI here is actually pretty excellent. That was one unique fight sequence. Well that was amusing. The gags are pretty amusing throughout. There are some great fights here for sure. Aww that's actually kind of sad. That is a really impressive creation. That final fight was actually pretty cool. The ending was pretty cute. I liked the addition of one of the most well known kung fu songs. It's actually pretty short. It's definitely a step up from the previous film. There really isn't much else to say without saying what exactly happens in this. I definitely recommend giving this a shot.

The Ouija Experiment 2: Theatre of Death review

Posted : 7 years, 10 months ago on 13 June 2016 05:06 (A review of The Ouija Experiment 2: Theatre of Death)

I almost forgot that I had planned to watch this sequel. The first one was bad, but I like to finish what I start. Also I have to warn others in case they try to see things that aren't worth the time. Israel Luna returns as the director and writer once again. It has a similar vibe to that of Human Centipede where some of the actors return as fictional versions of themselves. I'm just happy Swisyzinna returned. She was my favorite thing about the first one. The opening credits is basically a recap of the first one. That girl and her question are just silly and awkward. This girl needs to get out of this movie. She is really awful. Also her question was definitely not very good. Of course they wouldn't believe it's real since they were in a movie. Lord this guy has the worst acting skills. I swear they really didn't even try with the audio this time around. I swear some people are just plain ignorant. Oh wow the effects were pretty awful, but yeah that was definitely "real" in the movie. Did he really just consider Australian a British accent? What in the hell was that crap? Hahaha! This twist is just painfully ridiculous. Those two knife kills were okay though. This is even worse than the first one. This was just so dreadful! The only upside was seeing the three actors from the first one because I actually liked them. The new actors were terrible! DO NOT WATCH THIS! Serious waste of time!

Cell review

Posted : 7 years, 10 months ago on 12 June 2016 10:13 (A review of Cell)

I have been waiting for this to come out forever. I loved the book. I also get my geek on when any Stephen King book gets an adaptation. It helps that there are some great actors. Oh this is directed by Tod Williams who did the second Paranormal Activity film. At least it was one of the more enjoyable ones. Adam Alleca also wrote the Last House on the Left remake. The opening credits are a bit long, but at least it progresses the story. Well they get into the mix rather quickly. I'm loving it already. The only thing that bothers me is when zombie-like people beat women. It makes me uncomfortable when they do that instead of biting. This opening sequence is wild though. Hahah Samuel L. Jackson's reaction is comical! Ah the references that only the book readers will get. There is always someone that has to speak too soon. Lol that one just hit a tree! Oh god his leg! So this is starting to feel pretty cheesy on The Happening level. I actually thought that was pretty fun though. This one I'm beginning to feel unsure. It has great moments and such. I think the cheesy moments/dialogue are kind of out of place here. Oh yes one of the best moments was put in! Well at least it was quick and hopefully painless. That is just plain wrong. It would be my definition of a nightmare for sure. Well that is certainly peculiar. Wilbur Fitzgerald has to be wearing a wig here lol. I swear they do that shot way too often in movies. Well that's a disappointing way to go. That's a smart idea. Man come on it was clearly a trap! Yeah he was clearly going mental. So that was a bit underwhelming. The ending was a bit convoluted although I think maybe I got what happened there. I had waited so long for this only to be rather disappointed with the outcome. Most of it was rather boring sadly. It felt so empty. As if they spent most of their budget on the actors instead of creating the environment. I wish they had included some more aspects of the books. There were some great scenes don't get me wrong. It's just nowhere near what I had hoped for. Anyways I honestly don't think I would recommend this one to fans or anyone looking to find something new to check out.

Warcraft review

Posted : 7 years, 10 months ago on 11 June 2016 06:34 (A review of Warcraft)

I have been wanting to watch this since I heard it was coming. The game was fun when I had the money to play it all the time. I also think the cast here is full of great ones. Duncan Jones is the son of David Bowie as well as a somewhat known director. I have only seen one other film (Source Code) from him though so far. I really liked it so I have some hope for this. Charles Leavitt is known for writing Blood Diamond, Seventh Son, and In The Heart of the Sea. All of which I was entertained by. Chris Metzen has no other film credits as is probably only noted for his characters and such. I don't think I should find orcs attractive. I figured that's what was going on with her. This is feeling like one long cinematic for like a new Warcraft game or expansion pack lol. Wow that took a turn that I didn't see coming. That's a nice prologue for what is to come. Hey there is my girl Ruth Negga already! Ah there are some things here that I recognize from the game even though I haven't played in many a year. All I see right now when I look at Travis Fimmel and hear him is Ragnar from Vikings. Dang does everyone have trust issues or what? This has me hooked for sure. They added the Wilhelm scream lol. Yeah these battles have to be intense even if on a PG-13 level. What's up with green girls being so attractive I mean Zoe Saldana (among others) and now Paula Patton. For someone who is treated like dirt by her own people she is very hostile towards the ones who want to help. Oh nice there are some Night Elves! Garona kind of reminds me of a female Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy. Well that wasn't very nice. That is just pure evil right there! There are some pretty neat kills here. Haha I remember doing that in WoW sometimes. Aww that's not fair. Good lord some of these kills would be even more gruesome had this been rated R. The ending was pretty great. That baby orc is just so adorable. It leaves an opening for more films to come. I actually loved this. It has a lot going on, but I feel like they worked with everything well. If you think this is slow or boring we may not have watched the same movie. It kept my attention the whole time. The acting was great. All the characters were interesting. The action scenes were intense and brutal. I honestly hope they do make this into a series. I want to see more from these characters especially Anduin and Garona. Anyways if you like the Warcraft universe I definitely recommend this. If not I still recommend it because it's pretty fun.
