Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters review
|
|
From the very beginning we are introduced to a myriad of plots, preachy dialogues (ranging from parenting, watching what we eat, friendships, competitiveness, brotherhood first impressions and our destiny) and then later bombarded by countless characters and creatures that would confuse your head instead of being entertained. The pathetic cheesy one-liners and scenes doesn't help either. The antagonist's build-up was impressive and yet only had little screen-time only to focus on the third in... |

'Don't you dare!'

James Wan has really been on a role with Insidious, The Conjuring, and now Insidious Chapter 2. He still has a long way to go before he can be titled a master of horror, but he certainly shows a great amount of promise. Chapter 2 is a very solid sequel to the original that many found terrifying, but that I found to be a huge disappointment. This time around there are far more perfectly timed and jarring scares that increases the tension as some truly will take you off guard. Thus ther... |

One of the few original After Dark Horrorfest films I didn't purchase and am finally catching up on. On the whole - average, though the setting certainly is creepy enough. Like all the other films, it does its best on a limited budget - and for that I give it credit. I just didn't find it all that scary myself. |

Utterly Ridiculous, and All the Better for it

If you want to know what might happen if Tom Cruise starred in an animated movie- but without the animation- Knight and Day should be quite a treat. Knight and Day, like many animated films, dispenses with reality and provides silly circumstances and wacky characters. And yet, at the same time, Knight and Day is a surprisingly solid action movie. There are fun chase scenes, and legitimately cool fight sequences- all while retaining the film's zany, crazy tone. By all accounts, Knight and Da... |

Not very good, But the people loved it.

Yes, this movie is 22 years old, yes, it's taken me this long to see this film. And, well...I can hardly say that it was worth the wait. It was just a pretty average film. It had a huge star, in fact probably the biggest star of the time in Kevin Costner (who goes back in fort between a bad British accent and a southern drawl so many times throughout that it becomes comical), that lady who was in every movie of the early 90's (Mastrantonio), the next big thing (Slater), a young-ish Morgan Fr... |

'Midnight Cowboy' is the story of one Texan man's ambition to become a male prostitute in New York City. Things can't go anywhere but down, when that is your starting goal. This is a bleak film with no redemption. I liked it for that reason. The first half represents this well. The events in the second half progressively worsen for the two main characters. I lost interest through this area till the the finale that contained no resolution. If the second half had continued as well as the f... |

And a new level of boredom is born.

Well, KingInTheNorth was right when he warned me of watching this film. I do not like it.
Now, I am very critical when it comes to the drama genre, my personal favorite. Especially when there is a romance story involved, one of my least favorite genres. This film's Wikipedia page, at least at the time of posting this review, says that this film is a 'dystopian science-fiction drama film'.
And let me just tell you, this film is about 10% dystopian science-fiction drama and 90% love triangle.... |

Nothing spectacular, but a solidly engrossing look at the events surrounding John F. Kennedy's assassination. Well written and directed by Peter Landesman, and performed with power and intensity by a large cast including Paul Giamatti, Ron Livingston, Zac Efron, Billy Bob Thornton, and a ton of more big names. It's effective and compelling while it lasts. 2.5/4 |
