Rate The Last Movie You Saw

Everything is abbreviated. Texting and so forth. I can do - haha Lol and OMG, that's it

When I first watched it I thought it was kind of cliche and stupid, but I watched it again last night and it is really good. The CGI is top quality and Chris Pratt did really good.

I think by this point, Hitch was a little outdated, there were so many more edgier films coming out and I just don't think he could keep up. This film is not terrible like your led to believe from the opening 30 minutes. It gets better, but it ultimately is just underwhelming, especially being his swan song.

Blood Punch (2014) -



A fun, interesting, enjoyable low budget flick.

Dolls (1987) -



A very fun 80s horror flick, really enjoyed this movie as a kid and still holds up even though the acting is pretty awful on some parts.

The Break In (2016) -



Very lame found footage flick, posted a full review for it in my Horror Movie Review thread.

So tonight I'm doing the Don't sleep challenge, which is not a challenge, it's just stupid. And I decided to rewatch Tarzan, men that's one hell of a movie. I love the music so much, and I just so it in HD and the colors are amazing, and the rest of the movie was so nostalgic. Glad I rewatched it.

Im doing the same thing tonight lol, Tarzan is awesome, had the soundtrack when i was a kid and would listen to it all the time.

I kind of had the opposite reaction to this movie. The first time I saw it, I liked it a lot more than I did the second time. After I saw it in theatres I remember playing devil's advocate with the haters, but then when it came out on video and I gave it another go, I kind of agreed with all the their critiques.

Do love Chris Pratt and the velociraptors though.

But it's got Phillip Seymour Hoffman! It must be good! Wait... that is him in the top right corner isn't it?

Na, but seriously, just make a video of yourself smashing it and upload it onto youtube. Maybe someday a youtube partnership will earn you that money back.

Interesting to say to the least. I never knew of the movie beforehand, though with a new internet provider I saw it advertised. Big stars like the Women which I like in the Orange is the new black series - Natasha Lyonne. I should've had a drink while I watched. I believe it would've more beneficial for me. It was so so!

3/5

So much potential was wasted on a mediocre execution. Freaks of Nature could have, should have and would have been a really fun romp with the genre and despite the pace of the film being set to go for most of the running time, lazy editing and shortcuts in the writing leave me a little than more underwhelmed.

Zombies, Vampires and Humans coexists in the small down of Dillford. The zombies have shock collars on them if they try to eat humans and are given janitorial type jobs. Vampires and humans hate each other, but put their differences aside to live their lives. When the arrival of aliens throws everything out the window in a royal rumble of sorts between the three different "species", it's up to three teenagers, one vampire, one zombie and one human, to get the town's life back to "normal".

What a wild and interesting premise. Backed up by a comedic supporting cast including Denis Leary, Bob Odenkirk, Joan Cusack, Patton Oswalt and Keegan-Michael Key in small but decent roles, Freaks of Nature seemed destined to be a cult comedy hit. Yet the sporadic writing and uneven editing end of hurting it. Some of the jokes hit, some misfire completely and the film never really reaches the absurdity of the premise. Strong performances from the three leads was surprising and fuel the film with funny gore effects. Vampires literally explode gallons of blood everywhere once they are staked. One character is eaten alive and never manages to "die" or pass out from the carnage, he comments on why he is still alive as the zombies eat his guts, or put his guts back to eat another part of his body. These little funny moments are few and far between.

I'm not sure if I enjoyed A Scout's Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse more or not, but both of those films feel similar in humour and structure. Freaks is nowhere near as smart of funny as it thinks it is. Stronger writing and a more keen sense of direction could have elevated this film into that cult status that it desperately wants to be part of. I'm a little disappointed it took the lazy route.

It also doesn't live up to that awesome poster.

The Haunting (1999) - 1/10 - I couldn't find anything to enjoy about this movie; not the acting, the story, the dialogue, the music, the VFX...I just couldn't bring myself to like it in the least.

Anyway, that's my take.

From the Ebert list is this movie from director Ozu. It's in color, and while I usually prefer his movies in black and white, color suited this movie very well. It's a little different then other Ozu movies I've seen, as far as the character relations and dynamics, and I very much appreciated that. It's not as powerful as Tokyo Story, Late Spring, or An Autumn Afternoon, but it does have it's moments. It's beautiful to look at and I loved the Toshiro Mifune reference.
