The Raid 2  |
Rating of: 3/4
|
Jacob Zembower - wrote on 04/23/14 |

Larger in scope and more complex then it's predecessor, The Raid 2 is admirable in its ambition, even if it makes for a less consistently exhilarating experience. However, when the action/fight sequences kick into high gear Gareth Evans more than delivers. Ultimately, The Raid 2 is a ridiculously violent and entertaining crime drama. (Rated R containing sequences of strong graphic brutal violence and gore, sexual content, and language) |

| Enemy (2014) |
Rating of: 3.5/4

Ambiguous to a fault, but nonetheless constantly absorbing. Enemy is a creepy and challenging exploration of the subconscious. Jake Gyllenhaal gives a brilliant performance in dual roles that couldn't be more different from one another. While Denis Villeneuve proves once again that is one of the best film makers working today. It will leave you thinking about it for days, just don't expect it to answer any of the questions it raises, of which there are many. (Rated R contains strong sexual cont... |

Wolf Creek 2, a disappointing follow up.
|
|
The original Wolf Creek was, and is, one of the most bleak, downright horrific horror films of the 2000s. It took it's time to build up the three central characters, while also increasing the amount of tension with each scene. Finally, it plunged them and the audience into such an unforgiving nightmare, filled with dread, unflinching brutality, and a stark realism not usually scene in modern horror. If the original was the serious-minded adult of the franchise, Wolf Creek 2 is the confused, sil... |

Ten years ago, tragedy struck the Russell family, leaving the lives of teenage siblings Tim and Kaylie forever changed when Tim was convicted of the brutal murder of their parents. This movie may have ripped off the 2008 film (mirrors) But this movie was creepy and chilling to watch. |

Transcends the Limits of Plausibility
|
|
There are good sci-fi films and there are bad sci-fi films - but often they are at least entertaining sci-fi films - but Transcendence breaks the cardinal rule - it is a boring sci-fi film. The idea behind the film is solid - the rise of AI and what that means for the future of humanity. But the movie opens on the ending (literally, the first five minutes are the aftermath of the rest of the film) so we already know how things are going to turn out. But then things show promise - Will Caster (J... |

Slow and grim and far to long
|
|
a very slow drama movie that had me bored most of the way through it., its a very long movie with a very simple story about a kid and his alchoholic father in texas, with nicolas cage playing the a guy who befriends the kid and gives him work .but has he's own troubles.
its all very slow and grim ,it reminds me out of the furnace and mud.yet without their grit .The music on this movie is really depressing as well, the whole tone is just grim. The acting is fine and cage is doing a proper ac... |

a pretty good film. it starts of very much a drama then gets good with the flashbacks to the prisoner of war camp. and the eventual return, very thought provoking and shows more than most movies just how pointless war is and the things we do to eachoher. the scenes when he returns to japan are great |

Not a good movie.

Decades later, Lomax and his beautiful love interest Patti (Nicole Kidman) discover that the Japanese interpreter responsible for much of his treatment is still alive and set out to confront him, and his haunting past, in this powerful and inspiring ta... |

When this movie was finish I sawed a guy on the street dragging a big cross down the street like Jesus. This movie has good visual effect's and Russell Crowe was good as Noah, but this movie was boring and way to long and by the way Noah kills babies in this movie. |
