It - Lite
|
|
I desperately wanted to like this film, I really did. After all, I'm a huge Stephen King fan, and had just finished re-reading the entire 1153 pages of the novel the movie is based on. This story is only surpassed by King's other mammoth work, 'The Stand'. But reading the novel before seeing 'It' was my first mistake. I understand that it is difficult to cram in 500+ pages of book into a 2 hour movie (I say 500+ because the film only covers half of the time-span laid out in King's novel). In wa... |

"I think it's very sad, actually. I only mention it, because that would make you over 18. If you were to beat me up, which I'm sure you could, it would be child abuse".
lol what?
The only good thing that came out of this disaster is people are now remembering how awesome the original was. Every issue I had with this film has already been said by many, so no point repeating things you heard countless times by now. |

We All Float Down Here

I have a deep appreciation for It - the book is my second-favorite Stephen King novel (The Stand will always win, by a hair) and the 1990 adaptation featuring the unforgettable performance from Tim Curry is still one of the better King adaptations there has been. When I heard they were coming around to make a new version, I was a bit skeptical, even hesitant, but when that first trailer dropped, I was sold and Andrιs Muschietti has created the definitive version of It, and It is very good.

Escape from New York without Snake Plissken

"I mean it's more tactical. This isn't an attack. This is an invasion."
There's one thing this film surprised me with. And that's the speed at which the violence begins. One moment Lucy (Brittany Snow) walks with her boyfriend through a subway station. The next moment, he's lying dead next to her and in the background you can hear the sound of automatic guns and screaming people in panic. Turns out a war started in this part of New York. A kind of American Civil War in guerrilla st... |

| Annabelle: Creation |
Rating of: 3/4

A superior followup to the near abominable Annabelle (2014) that amps up the suspense and is legitimately scary. What's impressive is that most of the cast are child actors and young adults. Like in an 80s horror movie, they hold their own. The music and camerawork enhance the tension to create a truly chilling setting. That doll is still terrifying. |

Adam Wingard's take on the popular anime/mange of the same name is a bit of a one-note Death Note, but it's not without merit. The casting is solid, the soundtrack is pretty great and the story, while quite truncated, is still decent. Still, while I wasn't the biggest fan of the anime series, that's probably where you should start, though if you're already familiar with the material, the movie is a nice supplement. |

Just another mediocre spy-thriller

"Send a car for my wife and flowers. And by flowers, I mean whatever it takes to keep me off the couch tonight."
Take any "Jason Bourne" episode, mix it with lets say a "Mission Impossible" or recently "Stratton" and add a little bit of humor. As a result you'll get something similar as "Unlocked". So, it isn't exactly original. It's entertaining, but it's also an inextricable tangle of intrigues. At one point you're wondering who can be trus... |

| The Ice Cream Truck |

The result? I fancied an ice cream. That's it.

"Welcome to the neighborhood"
What's more applicable with this sultry weather than a horror about a murderous ice cream man? Let me assure you though. Next time you see an ice cream truck, you won't be running away in full panic and loudly screaming. Not after watching this movie at least, because this low-budget movie isn't really scary or frightening. To be honest, I found the ice cream man (Emil Johnsen) a kind of a dork. Even during his killings, he looked rather like a sissy. ... |
