Beyond Scared Straight (2011)
Completely inaccurate
First of all, I've known MANY people who have been in and out of prison. Like, big prison with murders and the like. This TV show portrays angry criminals being VERY inappropriate to minors. Threatening to rape them and beat them up. But wait, isn't threatening illegal? Yes it is but the officers allow it to happen because of the "scare factor". If they kids re-offend they are going to regardless. It's very ineffective. However, it's entertaining to watch when bored.
The Polar Express (2004)
Beautiful but not good at the same time
I saw The Polar Express when it was first released with my family. I remember that my dad loved it and I thought it was TOO long. I still dislike it and think it's too long. The message of the story is that you need to "believe in order for things to happen" sounds like religious based instead of Christmas based. Believing in something doesn't mean that it's true, it doesn't mean that something or someone exists, and it doesn't guarantee that you will get what you want.
IT (2017)
Hiliarious
I saw this movie at the drive in with a friend and her 10 year old daughter. In the beginning, the Georgie scene, the 10 yr old ends up crying because she's scared. After that, it was all laughs. Pennywise looked like a teenaged Easter Bunny and kind of sounded like he had something stuck in his throat. I don't understand the following this movie gets at all. It isn't scary and it isn't horror. It's downright, straight up, comedy.
Bright (2017)
WHAT
This movie lacked ANY backstory at all. Why was the orc cop a cop? Why isn't there more "professional" orcs? Why are the rest of the orcs "ghetto"? Why are the elves the richest of them all? What role do fairies play in this and why is it okay to kill them?
Will Smith's career seems questionable at best in this. While he is an okay actor the films he gets in aren't the best. I just really disliked this. I though it was going to be much better. I will see part 2 in hopes that these things are addressed. I really would love to see a TV show done instead of a movie so we could have more character development.
The Girl with All the Gifts (2016)
Interesting take on zombies but unrealistic
When I think of zombie movies I cannot think of 1 title that did well. This movie provided an interesting take on zombies and outbreaks but it was VERY unrealistic. For example, how does fungus spread quicker through a bite from a zombie (or Hungry, as they're called in this film) compared to breathing in actual fungal spores? If an infection is fungal than it would inherently be airborne, especially with Hungries having the infection OUTSIDE of their body as well.
The movie didn't address: why the kids were being kept, where the infection originated from, time period, if the rest of the world was like this, and why didn't they try to get a vaccine out of someone already infected? History has shown that for the most serious things that a vaccine was derived from someone infected or previously infected.
San Andreas (2015)
A movie of coincidence and luck
Don't get me wrong, this movie was excellent in terms of graphics. They were visually stunning. The storyline was alright considering the possibility of it happening is much higher than other event movies that have taken place. The problem is the coincidences and luck that happened in this movie. Everyone wants a happy ending and I think that's the problem. Sometimes happy endings just aren't going to exist. Therefore, the creators made something realistic into something unrealistic.
The relationship between the family is undeniably strong but I feel it was too focused on that. Why can't there be a single guy saving the world? Or a female? I'm personally tired of movies where the middle it turns into a life/death situation to keep the family together. It honestly reminded me of Titanic but with skyscrapers instead of a boat since they focus on a certain building being "the strongest" skyscraper of them all.
I gave it 5/10 due to the graphics ONLY.
