My Amityville Horror (2012)
88min of a guy making up stories for attention
This is what happens when a guy with a severe mental illness is given attention and a camera is shoved into his face.
He just makes up stories that are based off watching the Amityville movies, his real experience of living in the house and the Jay Anson book. He revels in the fact that he is the boy from the movie, he even knows all about the remake, he loves the attention the case has brought and this is obvious.
He will (and does) say anything that he thinks will get a response from the interviewer then it all leads to him being asked if he would take a lie detector, and he reacts as anyone who has been lying would, he flips out.
If you have 88 minutes to listen to a guy make up fantastical stories then watch this otherwise avoid and watch the Margot Kidder film.
Evil Dead (2013)
Believe the Poster - This film IS Terrifying
So many reviews compare this to the original and as someone who has not seen the original or it's sequels I have an unbiased option.
BELIEVE THE POSTER, This movie WAS terrifying, it has a rather slow build but the dread and suspense is enough to sustain you through this part, as I had no idea what was coming, the basement scene near the beginning was a surprise and it does not let up from there.
I thought the actors did a great job, you really feel like one of their friends going through it with them, I think Shiloh Fernandez and Jane Levy do an exceptional job, you believe the horror they are going through.
I saw this with a full cinema who really got into it, there were laughs, screams and the inevitable hands over the eyes. It was a lot of fun.
I would highly recommend this to Horror fans, I hope the rather passionate fans of the original give this movie a break, I for one thought it was excellent and judging by the loud applause which followed the screening I saw, I was not alone.
Go and see this, buy it and have fun, I would recommend with a group.
Wrath of the Titans (2012)
A hell of a good time
I have read the reviews on here and I am convinced people are reviewing this film without actually seeing it. I think people are still angry about the post 3D conversion of the first film and are looking for ways to recreate that drama on blogs. This film is not meant to be an Oscar contender, it is merely an action packed entertaining popcorn flick and on that front it delivers hard and fast.
The plot is basic, Zeus (Liam Neeson) is imprisoned by his brother Hades (Ralph Fiennes)and the only one who can save him is his son Perseus (Sam Worthington). But I don't want to use this review to write the plot which is available everywhere. What I do want to do is let people know that this film is far superior to it's 2010 original.
The action and special effects scenes are fantastic and they are what really elevate this film from other sword and sandal movies. The scenes with Kronos are possible some of the best special effects I have seen in an action/adventure movie and I found myself having a few WOW moments, something that I rarely do.
I saw this film in 3D and it is beautifully rendered, I honestly think those complaining about the 3D have not seen it in 3D because the conversion is flawless, the depth is great and really stands out during some of the major action sequences.
One let down was the acting, Sam Worthington doe's not seem remotely worried during the entire movie, even during scenes when his son could be in danger he has the same expression on his face, during a scene when he tells his son he loves him the line is delivered so badly that people in the theater laughed which took away from the tender moment it was supposed to be.
All in all we had a great time though and really enjoyed the film for what is was, an over the top special effects driven adventure movie, and on that alone I would highly recommend it to others
Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)
A great movie for all ages
This movie was fantastic. Everyone knows what it's about because the title sums it all up so what I'll say is I had a great time and throughly enjoyed this film.
I had several WOW moments which has never happened to me in a film.
But what was so great to see was that the packed cinema had so many different age groups who were all enjoying the film just as much. A couple in their mid 70's started cheering and clapping widely when the Tom Felton character pays homage to the original film, which resulted in the whole cinema cheering and clapping.
I highly recommend this film, it was excellent.
