October 22, 20177 yr Author ok quick review catch-up time: The Accountant: solid action flick, Affleck was pretty good but I was getting a bit bored at times. The main twist was far too obvious, I worked out after 15 minutes that his brother was gonna be one of the adult characters and my friend worked out which one it would be about 5 minutes later so we spent most of the movie waiting for them to reconsile :lol: , though I did like the end twist with it being the girl from the beginning in his ear piece, I def didn't clock that!. Also I needed far more Anna than we acc got, I swear she pretty much just disappeared 7.5/10 Fatal Attraction: Easy to see why this is an all time classic, the cast were all incredible & especially Glenn Close was chilling & great. The story still holds up fantastically and this is just an iconic and incredible film. 10/10 A Monster Calls: Loved the book & this lived up to my expectations, the cast were great & Felicity Jones rly deserved Oscar buzz. 10/10 Cruel Intentions: Been meaning to get round to this for ages and I rly loved it but I found the first half a lot more stronger. This felt very 90's and the cast were also great, especially Sarah Michelle Gellar *.* 9.5/10
October 23, 20177 yr First film I've seen in approximately two months was Scream. + The Ghostface costume + The setup of the killer + The phone game + The imagery the popcorn on the cooker represented in the beginning(The fire on the popcorn bag gets worse and tension builds up. It has completely burned when Casey gets murdered by Ghostface.) + The shocking twist + The soundtrack and score fits perfectly + The self-referential tone (lots of names of previously existing horror movies have been mentioned and referenced and some characters questioning whether they're in real life or a movie) + The parallel between the part with Billy and Sidney in the bedroom and when Randy and the others are watching Halloween on a TV. + The shocking ghostface popup at the very end (right before the credits come up) + Randy stating the rules of surviving a horror movie (I LOL'd at the part where the other teens threw popcorn at him after he stated the first rule) - Nothing really major Overall, I loved this film and offered a lot of good scares. Rating: Outstanding [97] Edited October 23, 20177 yr by Dalek-xorcist32
October 23, 20177 yr I saw Bloody Valentine's Day last night on Horror and it was great. 10/10 but I do love a good horror. Seemed to pass me by as it was made in 1981 but don't recall ever seeing it.
October 27, 20177 yr Saw another movie this week called Final Destination + The way the death scenes were structured and created, along with the application of Murphy's Law or possibly The Butterfly Effect. + The way Alex tries to investigate the plane explosion and the path of death is very interesting + Bludworth the mortician talking to Alex and Clear about Death's motives. + The figures of a guillotine and a man hanging is a great example of "show, not tell", when representing the respective death scenes of Billy and Tod that happen later on in the film + The ominous music playing somewhere in the opening credits recurring in the airport scene and the plane scene is a perfect foreshadowing of the chaos that will strike on the plane in the first act of the film. + The atmosphere + The soundtrack - Like with Scream, I didn't have any major gripes. Maybe that part where Alex took the knife out of Ms. Lewton's wound in the chest and I was like "No! You're not supposed to take the knife out of the wound, it would only make the situation worse" Not as marvellous as Scream, but Final Destination is a great film, with a chilling atmosphere, brutally creative death scenes and a good investigation of the path of death. Rating: Outstanding [95] (BTW, when that Jane Sibbery song was playing in the film, I ended up doing an impression of her voice right after it stopped.)
October 29, 20177 yr Saw The Death Of Stalin in the cinema. It was a great way of showing the consequences of being power hungry and once you are in that position, you jump to the conclusion that no one that can be trusted and the truth may be over-exaggarated. Also, when I was looking at the Khrushchev character in the film and listening to his voice, I was like "I swear he sounds familiar. Steve Buscemi?". When the credits came up, I guessed right. Also, the actors did a great job replicating the historical figures of the Soviet Union, especially Simon Russell Beale and Steve Buscemi. Rating: Outstanding [96] A contender for my Top 5 Movies of 2016 list (or maybe 10)
December 10, 20177 yr Saw Justice League last month. I posted my first impressions in the film's thread. Today, I saw American Pie. Hilarious coming of age film. [brilliant, 93]
