Not enough of Freddy vs. Jason (2 more)
No Kane Hodder as Jason.
Freddy gets 1 kill in the film and Jason gets the rest.
Happy Halloween
Freddy vs. Jason- is one of those movies that are debated for many years. Is it good, is it bad, is it stupid it, is it so bad its good or is it so good its bad. Well actually its all. Let me explain Freddy vs. Jason came out around the time were horror movies were not that great. Freddy vs. Jason pinned two iconic horror charcters and had them fight each other while predictable teenagers are just their, stick in the middle ready to get killes ny either Freedy or Jason. Non of them I really care about. So just want to see Freddy vs. Jason. So when do you see Freddy vs. Jason at the 45 min mark, thats right you have to wait 45 mins to see round 1 of Freddy vs. Jason and than ends after like in 3-5 mins. Than have to wait for the last 15 mins of the movie to see round 2- the final round of Freddy vs. Jason and that last around 5-10mins. So in total for a 90 minute movie called Freddy vs. Jason you have 8-15 mins of Freddy vs. Jason.
Overall this movie is decent, it has good kills, it has two iconic charcters fighting each other and a good halloween movie to watch.
Happy Halloween to all and a good night.

A soundtrack with a bonus movie
Following on from the success of the first movie (from which I became a Marvel converter), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 had big breeches to fill. And they, somewhat filled them.
I still prefer Vol 1, however I feel that most sequel's don't usually live up to the first movie. But that doesn't mean they didn't try. Vol 2 hit us with another kickass soundtrack that leaves us foot tapping for weeks post-movie. Any movie that includes 'The Chain' by Fleetwood Mac can never be THAT bad in my opinion.
The movie missed the mark slightly in terms of acting. Chris Pratt was charismatic and funny in Vol 1, but in Vol 2 I found that I spent more time cringing at his acting rather than enjoying it. This was disappointing as I always deemed the first film to be Star Lord ft. everyone else, but this film felt more like everyone else ft. Star Lord.
Karen Gillan was also fairly vapid in her acting, which was disappointing as she was given a much larger role in this movie. Nebula was a fairly interesting character in Vol 1, but I just wanted her to leave my screen in Vol 2.
Great work with the relationship between Rocket and Yondu, I was pleasantly surprised by this addition and found it the most interesting plotline of the movie.

Feb 7, 2020 (Updated Feb 7, 2020)
Garish and frantic comic book movie basically does your head in for nearly two hours. Never mind doing a Batman movie without Batman, now they've done a Joker movie without the Joker: annoying homicidal pole-dancer Harley Quinn breaks up with he of the green hair and gets mixed up in a hunt for a diamond-shaped McGuffin involving various other obscure and mostly female Batman characters. Full of movement and some not bad action choreography, but the plot is a disjointed mess and it's hard to escape the impression that the producers are treating you like an idiot.
Robbie's performance is basically just irritating; not sure whether this is entirely intentional or not. Ewan McGregor is definitely just bad, but the script is to blame anyway: when the writers appear to believe it's cool and funny to break someone's legs on a whim, it's hard to take them seriously when they try to take the high ground on any moral issue, as they also do. Amoral, superficial, and sadistically violent in places; generally quite dim-witted and depressing. Undoes all the good work of recent movies in detoxifying the DC brand: come back Zach Snyder, all is forgiven.

I’m not sure who enjoyed the new Disney movie ‘Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day’ more, the adults or the kids.
Steve Carrell as the out of work, stay at home dad and Jennifer Garner as the stressed out on the go working mom are funny and quick witted.
There were lots of funny situations and lots of laughs from the audience as we follow the family through a day that is ‘cursed’ upon them by the midnight wish of their middle child Alexander (Ed Oxenbould) on his birthday.
Alexander wishes that his family, for once, would understand what it is like to be in his shoes and have a ‘Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day’.
What ensues is mishap after mishap for each member of their family, and ultimately, the lesson that no matter what, family is first and families need to stick together to overcome challenges.
I loved the movie, and my 6 year old liked it too, even though many of the jokes in dialogue were over his head.
I would give this movie 4 out of 5 stars, as a great family film, and great fun.

SFX
Mediocre Magic
There are some questionable creative decisions in this movie and it is extremely cheesy at times, but if you liked the first one then this is more of the same. It isn’t a bad movie and all of the cast do a fine job, Lizzie Caplan is probably the stand out performance here, every time she is on screen she is full of energy and highly entertaining. The special effects are good and although it is a fairly silly plot, it works for what it is. The same goes for the movie, if you take it for what it is, (a corny, fun, popcorn flick,) then you will have a good time with this one, just don’t go in expecting Oscar material.

Ok
This movie was another "be quiet or die" horror film. It wasn't too bad for what I'd label a "made for tv" movie. The acting was just ok. If you can't read sign language, you might not understand some of their conversations but you get the gist. The cinematography was decent with some cool creatures(may little things!) and effects, without getting too gory. While it played out to an open ended "anti"-climax it did show that people can sometimes turn out to be worse than the liberal monsters with the "cult" they run into. Overall this movie was good enough to finish but, in my opinion, "A Quiet Place" did it a bit better. Still, it's worth a watch if you're bored and looking for a little "creature feature".

What The Hell Was This Movie
High Life- from the trailer it looked like a survival horror movie in space. It is that but way much more in a bad/creepy/what the fuck way. I wont go into details, you just have to see it yourselfs and judge it.
The plot: Monte and his baby daughter are the last survivors of a damned and dangerous mission to the outer reaches of the solar system. They must now rely on each other to survive as they hurtle toward the oblivion of a black hole.
I can say this both Robert Pattinson and Juliette Binoche were good in it. I wouldnt recordmend watching it, but i same time i do recordmend it cause its such a weird movie. Check it if you want to.

Awix (3310 KP) rated I, Tonya (2017) in Movies
Feb 20, 2018 (Updated Feb 20, 2018)
The most bad-assed ice skating movie in history blows the lid off the vicious, cut-throat world of people who whizz about on a rink all day wearing tulle. Reasonably true story of how Tonya Harding rose from wrong-side-of-the-tracks background to become top US ice dancer, suffered through various horrible relationships, briefly became infamous for (possible) involvement in an assault on her rival.
A smart movie that has fun with the grotesque outrageousness of much of the story, manages to avoid most sports movie clichés too. There's an extent to which serious issues are (wait for it) skated over in favour of very funny black comedy, but great performances and moments mean that doesn't feel like much of an issue. In the end, it manages to feel genuinely sympathetic to Harding as a person; the viewer likely will, as well. Movie is a contender; makes Margot Robbie look like one, too.

The ending couldn't save the rest of the movie (3 more)
Cliche plot you have seen before
Bad acting
Annoying characters
The internet's bloody mary
This was a terrible movie
Bloody mary meets unfriended? It feels like a typical supernatural slasher you have seen plenty of times.
None of the characters are likeable, if anything they are actually annoying right from the first start especially the main girl. Again there is no logic, it's not creepy or gory and I found it just boring.
Don't get me wrong I love urban legends when it is done right.
The killer was not designed well, not shown enough and not creepy enough. Only a few deaths that were not scary or gory.
I couldn't wait for this movie to end but I'm happy I watched it so that you don't have to. It was paced horribly and even a good twist at the end couldn't save this movie.

Steve Fearon (84 KP) rated Clown (2016) in Movies
Sep 12, 2018
This guy ain't clowning around...
Clown is like a classic twilight-zone style curse movie, where a dad puts on an antique clown suit, which turns out to have dire consequences that essentially turn him into a child eating killer clown.
There are some great comedic moments, as you would expect, some gross body horror, gruesome kills and actually pretty good performances.
Despite the b-movie plot, the acting is very solid, and the whole feel is of a well-made, well budgeted horror film, that would not have been out of place on a decent cinema release.
There are plenty of plot holes, bad decisions and parts that drag on a little, but overall this is a pretty entertaining movie, which provides a throwback experience to an 80's style slasher but with modern production values, so what is not to like?
