The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia  |
Rating of: 2/4

That Old Familiar Feeling
|
|
The first Haunting in Connecticut was a straight-up haunted house film was some decent effects but a warmed over story. While this film is billed as a sequel - it's more of a stand-alone story with the name attached. In this case, we're not following a haunted house but rather a haunted family - as many of the women can see spirits of the dead.
The women in the film drive the story - Abigail Spencer is the matriarch, Lisa Wyrick, who stills sees vision of her own dead mother while her daught... |

Seen better films from cast involved!!
|
|
We will start this review by saying that I have seen better films from both Wahlberg and Crowe! The storyline here was alright but nothing to write home about let's put it that way. Director Allen Hughes who usually works alongside his brother Albert, works solo on this project and maybe that's why this project was sometimes majorly lackluster at times as many of the directing projects he has done with his brother such as Menace II Society, Dead Presidents and From Hell all films with rivetin... |

two great actors yet a poor movie
|
|
With a great actor like sean penn & ryan gosling in this you would assume it would be a great film about gangsters. but it was a big let down, it has a very simple script sean penn is the mob boss bad guy and gosling is a cop who joins a group of cops with a mission to take him down.
you don't see much of what they done to cause penn so much trouble a lot is left to the viewer to figure out, there is no depth at all to the film. the love interest for gosling was pointless and led nowhere.... |

Could have been a lot better
|

This is the only entry in the Texas Chainsaw franchise that I have seen, so there is probably a lot here I’m missing. Meaning: there are probably a bunch of things that fans of the series cringed at that I was unfazed by simply due to ignorance. If your looking for a review from a Texas Chainsaw fan then look elsewhere.
The movie starts off with a very cliché first half. I may have not seen the other Texas Chainsaw movies but I know the tropes of the genre when I see them. A teen girl an... |

Outstanding. Jennifer Lawrence is amazing and Bradley Cooper blew me away. This is an amazing movie. I highly recommend it. The plot is excellent. It's exciting. A little on the slow side but not enough to make me rate this movie poorly. Absolutely awesome! |

David O. Russell's latest film is a unique look at the collision of two fractured human beings and the fragile romance that develops. It's darkly funny (but not in a forced way) and also humbly life-affirming. The film doesn't try to sugarcoat its characters' struggles, which is a refreshing thematic shift (though the ending is a little too neat.) Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence have strong chemistry and the film's acting, as a whole, feels natural and improvised. |

| Mama (2013) |
Rating of: 2.5/4

Mama is, unfortunately, a mishmash of bits and pieces from past (better) entries into the horror canon. It's unfortunate, because, the film really touches on some beautiful visual sequences and you can see Del Toro's creative producing hand in some of the more transcendent and experiential sequences (such as the ethereal climax.) The film does have its tense moments and, for the most part, executes them effectively. Still - ultimately, its substance is lacking and the film's plot never becom... |

Safe Haven (2013) Katie (Julianne Hough) is running away from a dark secret, one that no one can ever find out about. She suddenly finds herself in a small North Carolina costal town, trying to make a new life. Her world starts looking up when she meets a young widower (Josh Duhamel) and his two children. But Katie’s past may catch up to her and hurt the people she has started to care about. This is the first Julianne Hough movie that I have seen that I didn't mind her performance, but that may... |

not quite what i expected more of a spike lee movie than tarrentino. very talky talky and not much action.or what you would expect from tarentino. Leonardo de caprio was good but he was hardly in it much. chrispther waltz was brilliant . ok movie/good but overated it seems.
why didn't they just offer the cash for the girl and save a lot of hassle. they had the money.. bit of a silly idear that..
