Brightburn (2019)
Lex Luthor Propoganda?
It delivered on the premise and trailers. It had some good scares and overly gory deaths. I'm not sure how I feel about the son more or less turning evil because of the spacepod manipulating him. It was also a bit sad that most of his victims were his family that raised and cared for him. I would've preferred him turning evil because of society pushing him to the brink like in The Joker. The ending was a bit lacking to me since it was the open ending/ran out of budget type ending. It kind of works as opposed to the mom just killing the evil son. Still worth a watch. All in all, as a dark super power horror flick, Brightburn shined bright!
Arctic Predator (2010)
It was a pretty "cool" watch
Arctic Predator aka Frost Giant is basically your research team isolated at an arctic outpost with a monster flick. But what sets it apart is its fictional take on historical arctic explorer James Clark Ross and his lost ship, the HMS Fury which according to the movie is due to an alien carried here by a meteor.
Fast forward to the present, Dean Cain best known from the 90's superman show Lois & Clark, stars as JC Ross, a descendant of Ross (if it wasn't obvious by their names) who's become obsessed with finding the ship.
Needless to say that once his team finds it buried and tunnels to the ship, they inadvertently unleash the trapped alien and it goes on a killing spree.
The "cool" thing about the creature is that it's made of ice and can of course, turn its body parts into weapons and the reveal that it's attracted to heat because of its desire to return to its original gaseous form.
The rest of the movie involves the team trying to survive and take out the creature while most of them end up succumbing to the creature.
It was certainly entertaining with its unique killer creature; strong cast and lots of icy kills. 3.5/5 masks!
Captive State (2019)
Keep the collar on!
It's a serviceable sci-fi movie that had many elements you've seen before except for the aliens. I wish they could have been explored more, but it's probably better that it was kept vague.
This movie could have been cut shorter and cut tighter to have been more powerful.
There were some confusing jumps in logic and it was hard to get past that a certain someone couldn't keep the anti tracker collar on and not to mention, no one figured out that the trackers can listen in to conversations.
It's worth a watch for sci-fi fans, but could have been streamlined.
Brazilian Brawl (2003)
High-flying Latino martial arts??
High-flying Latino martial arts?
*Spoilers!*
That was the tagline on the DVD case, and boy were my friends and I deeply disappointed. First off, jumping armbars are not high flying, and they did this move like 5 times in the movie, boring, I won't dispute Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a very effective martial art, but I am judging this on its entertainment as a movie. Second, I'm not sure Brazilians fall under the category of being labeled 'latinos'? Well, everything about this movie was bad, from low-budget camcorder, cheesy effects, terrible dialogue, atrocious acting, lame story. We literally had to forward to the action scenes, which were somewhat interesting but mostly all played out the same way. One funny thing, was this recurring decrepit old man, who always came outta nowhere and attacked the machado brothers and always got it in the worst way, The really ridiculous thing was in the end, they shot him in the back while he was running away? what the heck...I wouldn't be surprised if they filmed this in under a week.
