XMen : The Future Past - So many questions throughout but no answers really.
Curse of Chucky - Felt rushed w/ cheap scares. Still a fan though. Man Of Steel - Too much fireworks at the end. Fighting scenes after another after another. Just needed to breathe. |

VHS 2 - I'm a huge fan of the original. A film that managed to creep me out. I liked the idea of found footage and anthology combined. So I was really looking forward to the sequel, and it ended up a total letdown. It felt like they were trying to cater to people that don't like found footage films. The only segment that I liked was Safe Haven, which is about a film crew at an Indonesian cult. I think it should have been it's own full length film.
The ABCs Of Death - Brilliant concept. 26 filmmakers pick a letter of the alphabet, film a short that ties a word starting from that letter and connecting it to death. Some of them were really good, some were really bad, as a whole it ended up being dull. |

On VHS 2 - I really did think that the story about that insane Chinese facility was unnerving as all hell, but you honestly could have taken that and just stamped it on the end of the first one and it wouldn't have bothered me.
Sunshine Danny Boyle, the director of Trainspotting (and other great films), doing a sci-fi movie about our sun dying, and it stars Cillian Murphy. Overall, I still consider this to be a really damn good film, but I felt that the ending was a bit rushed and that it launched itself into an epileptic fit that was unnecessary and detracted from the human element that made the rest of the movie so likeable. I'd still recommend the hell out of it. |

^I liked Sunshine a lot too. But the ending I still don't get.

Banshee Chapter
Based on the Lovecraft story "From Beyond" (that was then adapted into the movie of the same name in '86), this was a very enjoyable horror flick that immediately stripped itself of tension by throwing in an absolutely unnecessary caricature of Hunter Thompson as a character. Still, definitely worth a watch for horror fans (even though "From Beyond" is way better). |

^Been meaning to check that out. Keep seeing it popup on Netflix streaming.

Berberian Sound Studio - Toby Jones is fantastic in this. The visual and sound is amazing, but at the end I wondered what the hell it was all about. I like weird movies, and movies that leave you scratching your head, but this because I became so immersed in the film that when the ending came I felt like a got cinematic blue balls.

Bonnie & Clyde vs. Dracula - Tiffany Shepis and Trent Haaga were fun to watch as Bonnie and Clyde, Russell Friend made a good Dracula. For the budget they did a really good job capturing that era. But the vs part was very lacking, seemed like a lot of build up for so little. Still, a fun campy movie.
