Dork_knight74 (881 KP) rated Escape Plan (2013) in Movies

Entertaining
I finally watched it. It was exactly what I expected- lots of action, betrayal, wicked villains and an intense story with lots of impossible situations. While this wasn't the greatest movie in the world it was highly entertaining. Sly and Ahnold do well together. I may be a little biased having grown up on their action movies, but my opinion here stands. Not sure how this one has sequels but I'll probably check them out, too. Worth a watch!

4.5 stars.
What an ending!
I liked this more than the first, more action packed and character development. It was nice to learn more about Sophie's dad and Cal.
I am so intrigued about what's going to happen next with everything; the Council, the Brannicks, The Eye.
I'm hoping that Archer and Sophie get some sort of happy ending and that maybe Sophie's mum and dad might get together again.
Right now I'm off to hunt for Book 3 online!

Dont try and piece together any semblance of a coherent storyline here, just sit back and let it happen is what I told myself whilst taking in this over the top Danny Trejo vehicle.
One thing going for it is that it never tries to be something it isn't and is of the pulp grindhouse nature that means thin plot and lots of blood and incoherent dialogue which you will absolutely love or loath, I was somewhere firmly in the middle.

Disjointed mini action film
A rather low budget, made for TV feeling film. There is not much of a plot. More a case of how can we put a few shoot outs together. The action is OK to be fair but the acting, wafer thin plot make this feel like half a film. Too many side plotlines don't add up to much. You're much better off sticking to something like @The Town (2010) or @Heat (1995)

A weepy number to end the weekend
This tale of love and loss takes us to the beautiful Island of Guernsey, where pig farmer Dawsey has been corresponding with Juliet. Juliet travels from London to meet the society that banned together over roast meat and literary greats, to fill the loneliness of the Nazi occupation of Guernsey in WWII. Juliet visits wanting to share their story, and instead shares their hearts and lives. A touching story of pain and healing.

Good skits
Great characters
Interesting story
Great innuendos
Kevin Hart and Will Pharrell work really well together, although Kevin Hart looks so small in comparison.
The story is clever with some really funny over the top parts. I absolutely loved the gay cafe scene, really tickled me.
Just generally all round funny film. There is a lot of racism and homophobic jokes but they are funny, just wasnt sure if thay would be everyone's cup of tea.

Zombie blasting fun
So after a good 10 years we finally have a sequel to what turned out to be a great Horror Comedy. Good to see the same cast back together again. It's very much more of the same as the first time but not surprising after how well it did. Funny through out and with plenty of zombie kills. It can't quite reach the heights of the first but is still very enjoyable. Watch after the credits as well!

Two girls, bound by the abandonment of their mothers, learn to face & survive the world together - until one of them goes missing. Though this book was slow at times, I found the story touching, easily relatable, and sure, a little dramatic. But I loved the platonic element between the two girls, Miranda & Syd. Romance was not the center of the story, which was refreshing, and I liked that Miranda was not a passive protagonist.
3.5 stars in my book :) Worth the read.
