Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013)
If you were a fan of the first, you will love the second installment
The movie picks up right where the first left off, and really gives you the back story of the family and why they are going through everything they are going through. They style is very similar, and there is so much originality and style that you just don't see with today's modern horror story flicks. There are plenty of scares, plot twists, surprises, a-ha moments, and plenty of tense moments and horror. I really enjoyed it just as much as the first. I got to see The Ultimate Insidious Experience which was a back to back double feature which was really cool to refresh what had happened in the first. There are moments that explain cleverly scenes that didn't make sense in the beginning but are cleverly resolved in the end. I have always loved the first Insidious and the second is equally as good in my book. If you didn't like the first, you won't like the second. It's just a great spooky, scary, haunted house, ghost, abandoned hospital story that is well-done and leaves you very satisfied at the end. They leave it open for further sequels that are sure to follow. A definite must-see for any horror movie fan.
Scary Movie 5 (2013)
This was the worst movie I have ever seen in my life.
First of all, I usually love spoof movies that are goofy that everyone else hates. This one is different. Ana Farris was terribly missed. Regina Hall was also noticeably missed. This movie didn't have a single laugh. It was just a spoof of Mama, which I don't even know how they got it made so fast considering Mama just came off the movies. It also spoofed Evil Dead which just started this same weekend. No matter how much you think you might like this movie, or how much you think you would like it anyway, I warn you. You WILL wish you hadn't gone. I guarantee this movie will not be showing in two weeks. It had to be a fairly decent budget because the production values were pretty decent, but I just don't see how this movie ever got approved to be made. The casting was horrible. They should have just waited for Ana Farris to be available. This movie is not even worth renting at Redbox or even watching on cable for free.
Epic Movie (2007)
I can honestly say this is the worst movie I have seen in my life
I am a HUGE fan of spoof movies. Naked Gun series, Fatal Instinct, Wrongfully Accused, Scary Movie series, Date Movie, and Not Another Teen Movie are all movies I watch on a regular basis. According to the commercials, this was going to be another one to add to my collection.....WRONG!!!! I was so disgusted. I kept waiting for a payoff, something, anything. It was so flat, even the actors seemed embarrassed. Obviously the studio was planning on hyping the movie knowing that the first weekend is all the movie was going to have. Yes, there were a few (and I do mean a few) funny parts, but this entire movie could have been condensed into a MadTV skit that would have been just perfect. I literally fell asleep during the movie. Now, how many people do you know that fall asleep during a "comedy"? I absolutely will not be attending another movie from these guys until after the first few weekends. I know if you were like me you would have to go see it for yourself and make your own determination, but please, I beg you, do not see this movie, do not buy or rent the DVD. If we support garbage like this, they will continue to rush out these terrible movies hoping that dopes like me will rush out on opening day to see them. We need to send a message. I know they made the entire investment back the first weekend, but good god almighty.
The Black Dahlia (2006)
I was hoping to prove all my friends wrong
All of my friends told me not to see this movie because it was horrible and that half of the audience left during the feature. No. I had to see it. They had to be wrong. The movie looked so intriguing in the previews. Well, first of all about five out of fifteen people in the movie theater I was in left during the middle of the picture. I thought it slow getting started, but it did seem like it had some promise. However, it just seemed so rushed at the end. Characters and explanations kept popping up out of no-where and then over-the-top performances by the characters just seemed so out of place with the rest of the movie. It seemed like they took a great novel and a great story, shot a great movie and then decided the four hour format was too long and sliced and diced the last quarter of the movie to get it down to a running time that would be acceptable to most people. This movie COULD have been really great. Too much time setting up the whole boxing thing, which had almost no impact on the rest of the plot of the movie. They could have done a montage at the beginning of the film establishing that they were police boxers and they ended up becoming partners. At best, I would say rent the movie just to see for yourself.
Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
Mistake in character listing
I was not able to go onto the goofs section to make a note of this. But I have a comment about a possible error. Frank was Sheryl's brother, yet he is listed as having the same last name as everyone else. He would have a different last name. Besides that comment, I have to say that this was just an excellent movie. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when Olive started her act. Every time anything happened, you wanted to laugh, and just cry over how sad and pathetic their lives are. I loved the ending. Any mainstream movie would have had Olive pull some fantastic talent out of the sky and beat all the other girls out. The love that they had for each other was also touching. They loved each other and they knew how pathetic they were as well.
The Descent (2005)
The goriest movie I have EVER seen!!!
The Descent is a very tense movie and definitely keeps you jumping throughout. And although I am a full grown adult, I kept my eyes and ears covered throughout a lot of the film because it was so gory and graphic. This movie is definitely not for the squeamish. Blood and guts, blood and guts, blood and guts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The plot was interesting and disappointing. I didn't like the ending, I didn't really understand the final shock. I didn't like what happened to Juno. What she did was an accident and she didn't deserve to be disabled just before the end of the tunnel. I also thought that a lot of the sets were very primitive and looked like cardboard boxes with paper mache. In addition when one of the girls is stuck in a tight place you can see the rock above her head giving with her movements indicating it was made of foam. At one time in the movie one of the girls remarks that they are two miles underground. Completely impossible. If I remember correctly, the Carlbad Caverns elevator at the end is billed at 300 feet underground or possibly the tallest room was , either way two miles would be almost 6000 feet. Could be a hyperbole. I would wait for video if I were you. A good movie for friends over that like to scream with gratuitous shock scenes.
