Chloë Grace Moretz

"Houses don't kill people. People kill people."

The film debut of the then eight-year-old Chloë Grace Moretz is a remake of the 1979 film of the same name. This is an average "haunted house" horror, based on true events. Decently done and moderately entertaining, it stands out only with the performance of little Chloë, and especially the scene on the roof, which is the only thing that remains etched in my memory even after five years.

"You betrayed me, and now I'm coming after you!"

Just another in a row of watchable, but completely redundant and worthless Seagal's nonsenses.

4/10

Even funnier

Martin Lawrence reprises the role from the first film, but this time he is the babysitter in the house of the suspect in order to gather evidence. This one has significantly lower ratings on the net, but it was a lot more fun for me than the first one, plus there is Chloë Grace Moretz in it.

7/10

For Chloë fans only

"Room 6" is a film that tries to be a mindfuck horror, but fails in almost all fields. The idea is interesting, but so confusingly elaborated that instead of keeping you on the edge of a chair, it will keep you on the edge of boredom. The acting is not good enough to connect us with the characters, the dialogues are poorly written, and the overall atmosphere leaves the impression of an amateur film. Only the scenes with Chloë Grace Moretz have some strength, but no matter how good she is and how much I like her, she can't save a failed movie on her own with just a supporting role. I don't regret spending my time, but I advise you to skip it unless you're a big fan.

4/10

Mediocre horror cliche

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the cruel mine owner exploits children, who remain buried underground due to the explosion. Almost a century later, the family moves into a house near the mine and the little daughter starts talking about a new friend. Mother thinks that she has an imaginary friend, but imaginary friends don't eat kids alive...

I watched the film because of then nine-year-old Chloë Grace Moretz, who is the only thing that is really worthwhile in this film. In several scenes, she is really fantastic. As for the rest, I have no major objections, but the film is drowning in mediocrity and does not stand out in any way. A decent horror movie to kill time and nothing more than that.

6/10

Unoriginal horror mediocrity

A mediocre "remote religious community with a retarded cult" horror, in the "Children of Corn" manner. I watched it because of Chloë Grace Moretz and Jaimie Alexander, it wasn't boring, but soon I won't have any idea that I watched it, let alone what it was about. Within the genre, it can pass with the weaker

"He probably won't kill me. It ain't happened yet. But, it's like when people tell you that their dog doesn't bite. How do they know?"

An upsetting drama about three underage sisters who grow up with a drug-addicted mother, who turned the family home into a scum-den, a gambling and whoring house. Jennifer Lawrence plays the eldest sister, who tries to replace the mother to the younger ones and spare them the hell in which they live as much as possible, while she herself becomes a victim of rape and self-deception. There is also ten-year-old Chloë Grace Moretz in the role of one of the younger sisters, who is already announcing her acting capacities. The movie is based on the life of actress Lori Petty, who wrote the script and directed. The story is well written and the film is quite solidly shot, but what sets it apart and makes it especially impressive is the really convincing acting and strong emotion it conveys.

9/10

"A woman receives an eye transplant that allows her to see into the supernatural world."

5.4 on IMDb, Metascore 36, and a brief description from the title say it all about this film. I had to watch it because, after all, there are Jessica Alba and Chloë Grace Moretz in the same movie, and I'm not sorry that I did, but the film is ok at best and nothing more than that.

6/10

"I'm going to beat your pancreas with your spleen!"

A Disney cartoon that brings us the adventure of a TV star dog and his newly acquired friends, an alley cat, and a pet hamster. Bolt is a superhero dog, who lives in the delusion that his powers from the TV series are real, and his gradual discovery that in the real world he is just an ordinary dog leads to a series of comic situations. An additional plus to his character is that his voice is lent by John Travolta. Among the more famous, there are also Miley Cyrus, Malcolm McDowell, and Chloë Moretz. The film lost the race for the Oscar for the best animated feature film to the legendary "Wall-E". Nothing spectacular, but a lot of fun.

8/10

Isn't it funny how people get all religious when things go wrong? 14 April 2015

Quite an interesting psychological thriller, with a dark and mystical atmosphere. Not particularly good quality, but the acting is decent, and the ending twist is really unexpected and compelling. I watched it for Chloë Grace Moretz who, though her role is small, is the strongest asset of this film.

6/10

"This is a story of boy meets girl, but you should know upfront, this is not a love story."

Yes, it is, this is a love story. But this is not a typical love story we are used to seeing on film and the kind we are used to reading in love novels. This is neither a romanticized tragic love from heartbreaking dramas, nor a "lived happily ever after" fairy-tale, nor a romantic comedy. This is the story of love as it really is - silly and serious, gleeful and pathetic, seductive and painful, enlightening and ignorant, energetic and depressing, full of unexpected joy and disappointing, all of that randomly and at the same time ... and above all unpredictable, like life itself. Few of us can identify with Romeo and Juliet, or Don Juan, but I believe that most of us have at least once experienced something similar to this, and this makes this film much stronger and more lifelike than most love stories. Because this is not so much a story about love, as it is about life.

Loved it

Pretty much low-budget, but very entertaining. A smart, witty parody on famous fairy-tales, full of cultured humor, without vulgarity and all those nasty things that suppose to be funny these days. Perfect for brain relaxation.

8/10

This movie kicks ass

This is one of the most entertaining movies I ever watched, and I saw over a thousand in the last few years. Action is not set in some superhero universe, it's in our world where heroes are just comic-book characters. A kid who is completely into superhero stuff decides to become one, although he has no powers and, even worse, he is a clumsy nerd. And then he realizes that he is not the only one who came to that idea.

The movie is extremely funny, has Nicolas Cage in one of leading roles, 12 years old Chloë Grace Moretz nailed one of her first serious roles, and music is awesome with The Prodigy, The Pretty Reckless, Sparks, and many other great bands.

9/10

• My mom said to just be myself, and everyone would like me.
• That would be good advice if you were somebody else.

I loved it

Vampires are extremely popular these days. There were always vampire movies and TV shows, but recently there are too many to keep track of. And mostly they are disgrace and blasphemy to original vampire tradition. I mean, vampires avoid the sun not because it kills them, but because they become sparkly... Vampire horrors are not scary, comedies are stupid, and TV shows... Vampire Diarrhea. I cannot take it seriously, really.

But this is something completely different and new, at least for me. It is a vampire movie, but with an approach to the theme completely different than in any other vampire movie I ever saw. It's not horror or action or adventure or comedy. It's a slightly romantic childhood drama, sad, dark, and unexpected... Nothing spectacular, but very emotional and deeply satisfying.

9/10

"Two gangs. One ruled the streets by day. The other by night. It was only a matter of time before their paths crossed."

Drew Barrymore has directed a video for the band Best Coast as a ten-minute film, which bears a suspicious resemblance to "West Side Story". Whether it's a rip-off or a homage, judge for yourself. The roles of lovers from warring gangs are entrusted to Chloë Grace Moretz and the star of "Teen Wolf" Tyler Posey. The song is quite good, the video beautifully shot, but the story is an unoriginal pathetic cliché.

6/10

Worth watching if you are a fan of Chloë Grace Moretz.

"My friends, I address you all tonight as you truly are; wizards, mermaids, travelers, adventurers, magicians... Come and dream with me." - Georges Méliès

This movie is so beautiful, that it is perfect even if it is not. One of my favorite movies and, in my humble opinion, one of the best movies ever made. It is a drama/adventure about a little orphan living in the walls of a train station, stealing for food, and maintaining station clocks. In his free time, he is collecting spare parts of clocks trying to finish a robot that he started together with his late father. One day he meets a little girl whose grandpa works in one of the station shops and the adventure begins. Good cast, good acting, good directing, interesting adventure story, and an overload of various emotions that will make you laugh and cry and love the characters like they are your own. I can watch it anytime and it makes me cry every single time. The movie that will awake love in your hearts for sure.

10/10

Mediocre at best

In the marshes south of Houston, bodies of young women have been sprouting up for decades. The crime drama inspired by this series of unsolved murders has not harnessed the potential of the story, and is only worth watching for the performance of Chloë Grace Moretz and perhaps Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Sheryl Lee.

6/10

Chloë saved it

"Hick" is a drama about a white trash teenage girl who abandons her alcoholic parents and the violent redneck environment she grows up in and, with determination and a gun, she leaves for Las Vegas. The story of an unhappy childhood, the struggle for survival and the desire for adventure from the perspective of a teenage girl, mediocrely written but brilliantly presented by then-thirteen-year-old Chloë Grace Moretz, followed by a supporting cast that does not lag behind. At times humorous but overwhelmingly heavy and painful, this film is, in my opinion, unfairly underrated.

7/10

"Ugliest woman I've ever seen"

After centuries of captivity, Barnabas Collins, a vampire, returns home to Collinsport to regain his cursed family's glory. The film is based on the series of the same name from the 1960s, replacing the more serious and darker tone of the original with typically Barton's humor and fairy-tale atmosphere. Vampires, werewolves, witches, and ghosts are never outdated, especially not when played by Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter, Eva Green, Jackie Earle Haley, and Chloë Grace Moretz, with cameo appearances by Christopher Lee and Alice Cooper.

8/10

Heavily underrated

The father, innocently sentenced to life in prison for the murder of two girls, is released only to find himself in an even worse hell. His daughter is abducted and probably dead, and he sets out in search of justice that transcends the laws.

It has a score of 4.9 on IMDb, and no rating at all on Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes ... I also can't find it anywhere on the net to watch it again. I saw it a long time ago, but the fact that it remained in my memory for so many years only confirms that the film does not deserve such underestimation. The movie is difficult and dark, so I can understand that many people don't like it, but as much as my memory serves me, it deserves

8/10

"I will read. I will study. I will learn. If you try to stop me, I will just try harder."

A documentary that tells the stories of nine girls from different third world countries who by education seek to break the clutches of arranged marriages, slavery, forced labor and the like. The message of the film is strong, but the film itself does not have the quality and strength that such a theme deserves and which such a message needs to bear fruit.

7/10

Did you recognize Jim Carrey?

The sequel further elaborates on the story from the first film. Kick-Ass has inspired many citizens, so there are many new "superheroes", but also "super villains" that our heroes need to stop. As it continues to the first movie in the same manner, "Kick-Ass 2" loses a lot due to its lack of originality and surprise factor. The story dilutes with cliché teenage drama and romance, at times even pathetic, and the part of the story that sticks to the tried-and-tested recipe from the original movie tries to make up for the lack of new ideas by introducing too many new characters and a story that is so over-the-top that it loses every touch with reality. The soundtrack is also weaker. On the other hand, with more diversity and faster tempo, as well as many cheap but effective gags and jokes, the movie gets fun, and it may even have been more fun for me than the first. All in all, a superbly entertaining pastime that doesn't contain anything remarkable enough to stay in your memory after the closing credits. But still extremely fun, plus Chloë Grace Moretz...

8/10

Better than the previous

"Carrie" from 1976 has cult status, maybe because it was a new thing at the time and a huge name like King was put on the big screen by famous De Palma... This one remains under the radar. Not so popular, low ratings on movie sites... It is a remake of the previous one, almost from scene to scene. So, it is not a new adaptation of the same book, but the new movie made using the exact same script used for the original. And I never heard of this director while De Palma is De Palma. Still, for me, a remake, even though there is no H from horror, is quite better. Although I may be biased because of Chloë Grace Moretz.

8/10

"You can't keep putting aside what you want for some imaginary future."

A woman who is approaching her thirties and still doesn't know what she wants from life (like most of us, I would say), accidentally meets a teenager and uses her to escape responsibility, at least for a short time. A romantic comedy elevated from mediocrity by a rather realistic depiction of the mental state that most of us go through at some point in our lives. Some go through it maturely and responsibly, even painlessly, but many bring themselves into tragicomic situations as the heroine of this film. Partly because I found myself in this story to some extent, and partly because of Keira Knightley and Chloë Grace Moretz, I have to rate it at least a little higher than it objectively deserves.

7/10

"I'm not really good at writing about things that make me happy"

After a severe car accident, the girl in a coma has an out-of-body experience (astral projection) during which she observes people in her environment and remembers her life so far, trying to decide whether to wake up or let go.

The basic premise is, at least from the perspective of my experience, quite original, but the movie overall is not. However, although there are a lot of clichés, the story is very emotional and believable, and it is easy to identify with well-acted characters. Visually beautiful, with well-blended flashbacks (which I usually do not like) and pleasant music. Chloë Grace Moretz proves once again that she is not just a pretty face. Of the nearly forty of her films I've seen, this is one of her best performances, and as movies in general, only "Hugo," "Let Me In," and "The Poker House" left a stronger impression on me.

8/10

"Sometimes we make the wrong choices to get to the right place."

I have not watched the 1985 series of the same name on which it is based, so I have nothing to compare it with, but it did not leave a special impression. Decent action movie for one watching. A little stronger rating because of Chloë Grace Moretz, who was the reason I saw it in the first place.

7/10

The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter

A beautiful Japanese animated film based on the folk tradition of a bamboo collector who finds a miniature girl in one bamboo stem and adopts her. It's made in the "Stickman" style, but the story is so powerful that it didn't bother me at all.

8/10

"It's theatre. It's an interpretation of life. It can be truer than life itself."

I was disappointed. Not bad, but it somehow gives the impression of a consolation prize. Sort of like I was trying to seduce Juliette or Chloë, but ended up with Kristen.

6/10

"The truly frightening flaw in humanity is our capacity for cruelty - we all have it."

Libby, as an eight-year-old, survived the massacre of her family. A few decades later, an association of amateurs investigating famous murders, "The Kill Club", is asking her to help them resolve that old case. She reluctantly accepts and the mystery begins to unwind, revealing unexpected truths.

"Dark Places" is a film that is drowning in mediocrity. It is not written badly, but there is nothing to praise either. The acting is not bad, but nobody's performance will leave you breathless. I was not bored, but if I skipped it, I would not miss much. I do not recommend it, not because it is bad, but because there are a million better things you could watch instead.
