The Shape of Water  (2017)
The Shape of Water (2017)
2017 | Drama, Fantasy
At a top secret research facility in the 1950s, a lonely janitor forms a unique relationship with an amphibious creature that is being held in captivity.

A wonderful way to end the month. This was bizarre, and amazing, just as you would expect. Another one this month that I agree deserves all the award nominations it received.

Considering two of the main characters are essentially mute there was nothing left unsaid. The chemistry of everyone on screen made for amazing viewing.

Seeing Michael Shannon in this after his rendition in 12 Strong only days before was a little confusing, and throw in Zod and you've got a very odd mix going around your head. But wow, did I love to hate him! And I was pleased to see a lot of "couldn't happen to a nicer guy" moments. But seriously... was I the only one who wanted to throw up when... no spoilers, watch it and see... 😰

I can't really place something in this film that I didn't like. It was funny, and heartfelt, and heartbreaking... with a smidge of musical thrown in... you'll be tapping your toes along in no time.

Escape Room (2019)
Escape Room (2019)
2019 | Action, Horror, Thriller
At the start of the movie we see a guy trapped in a room that is closing in on hm as he tries to solve clues, giving an insight into what to expect. It doesn't appear to end well, though we don't see what happens to him we do get a pretty good idea. After this scene we go back to 3 days earlier and we are shown the lives of a group of people including the guy from the start. They each receive a mysterious puzzle box (which reminds me very much of the box in hell raiser). Upon opening they box, they are given an invite to an escape room game with the potential to win $10,000.
When they arrive at the escape room, they are instantly thrown into the game and they soon discover how dangerous this game is, as they put their lives on the line to solve each room.
Even though the premise of the movie isn't original, I did enjoy it. I thought how each room was designed was interesting and it did remind me of the cube movies, except instead of finding their way of empty rooms, they're finding their way out of actual rooms such as a lobby, a hospital and even an outside area.
The ending I thought dragged on a little, but it did make way for a sequel which I will definitely watch if it is made.
