Sarah (7800 KP) rated American Reunion (2012) in Movies

Surprisingly heartwarming
It’s not original in the slightest and the jokes are pretty crude and childish, but for someone who grew up watching the original American Pie film, this is ridiculously heartwarming and sentimental. There’s something warm and fuzzy about seeing the characters from the original film(s) now all grown up and still learning life’s lessons. On that basis alone it’s pretty enjoyable, it’s just a shame it follows the same old formula as the other films. You’d have thought Jim would’ve been a bit wiser by now!

Original, Unique Story
I love this film, it's dark, grungy, and original. I adore the concept and how the story plays on the societal 'class' system. A completely different role than I'm used to seeing Chris Evans in (mainly crisp, clean, polite Captain Steve Rogers lol) so it was a refreshing change to see him as such a grungy character. Special effects were gorgeous and the story was left in a place where the viewer could determine what would happen next. Will definitely watch again!
Joni Thomas (33 KP) rated Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) in Movies

The humor in this movie was spot on. The cast was excellent. The story line was great and it fit perfectly with the original Jumanji movie.
I think it is really important to mention- this is a spinoff. It is not a remake of the original. My fiance was confused about that and a little annoyed but in my opinion if you can understand the difference between spin off and remake then this is an excellent movie that lovers of the original movie should definitely take the time to check out.

Basically, Star Wars 'what-if's'.
What if Lukes attack run on the original Death Star had failed?
What if Luke had frozen to death on Hoth?
What if the attempt to free the frozen-in-Carbonitite Han from Jabba the Hutt had failed?
And, most intriguingly, what had George Lucas's original vision looked like?
As in any compilation, some of these stories are better than others - it's also quite easy to spot the similarities between Lucas's original vision and the Prequel trilogy (most noticeably in how Leia is portrayed)!

Silence is golden
I've heard great things about this after missing at the cinema as the premise didn't really grab me at first. It's a unique, original horror film with barely any dialogue! The creatures do look good but it's the human emotions that rise up in the film that leave a lasting impression. Only down side is it is a bit short with a very simple plot. The ending could have been a little better as well. Overall though a great original horror that scares with built up tension.

Not much to say here as this remake is one of those rare beasts that's very good but not quite as good as the original.
The acting from the two leads is superb and the blossoming romance believable, the films pacing is also similar to the original.
Lovers of the first film may pass this one by as to not spoil their connection with it, however those not having encountered the original will be in for a treat as this vampire love story beats anything twilight has to offer.
