The Blackcoat's Daughter - outstanding slow-burn film
I have to admit, I watched the pilot episode last night and really, really dug it. I know there are a lot of naysayers, but if they continue with what they started in the first ep, this could be...
The first episode was very well done. Acting, writing, cinematography...from top to bottom. I can't wait to see the next entry.
At first I was surprised to find out there are, what, three episodes left and still no Neegan. And then I remembered what show I was watching. So they build Neegan up to be the baddest bad ass in the...
This was a great psychological thriller with a slight tie-in to Cloverfield. I'm hoping Abrahams will follow this up with a new Kaiju film in the form of a direct sequel to Cloverfield. 8/10.
In my opinion that was one of the strongest episode of the series. Writing, acting, and directing came together beautifully. I've always thought Lennie James was one of the strongest actors on the...
Wife and I found the pilot episode(s) quite fun. It has just the right amount of camp. It's like Mean Girls meets Scream. You have to go into not expecting anything serious and you'll be pleasantly...
Loved the finale. Great show. Cannot wait for next season. 10/10.
Byzantium 9/10
Sinister 2 6/10
I REALLY enjoyed this show. Thought it was incredibly well acted, wonderfully written, and had some damn fine direction. I can't wait to see what it does next season (assuming it's been renewed)!
This might sound crazy, but tap Johnny Depp to play Freddy. It could be a cool tie-in, since he was in the original and was killed by Freddy.
I thought the same thing! That was a massive jump in timeline with zero explanation. Hopefully they do a flashback next week.
Yes she is and she is awesome!
The season starts out a bit "meh" but it really kicks in and doesn't stop. Some very good story lines going on.
Loved this season. So glad they brought in Hugh Laurie...what a great casting decision. Will be interesting to see what they do next season with him.
Saw it yesterday. Loved it. Acting was great. Giacchino did a marvelous job on the score. CGI was quite good.
Saw the film yesterday. Wife and I both thought it was better than the first two. Even though it relied more on the jump scare far more than the originals, it still retained the atmosphere Wan...
I have, of late, lost all faith in RT.
My take on this is simple: It sucked. They tried very hard to be a homage to 80s horror and failed. The score was too loud and, often, out of place. There were plot holes everywhere and...
Went to see It Follows last night. What a terrible piece of cat poo that was! I couldn't believe rotten tomatoes gave it 98%. What? I'd give it 5/10 at best. If it were released in the 80s, maybe a...
Watched the first ep of season 3 last night. Very niiiiice!
And now, thanks to your very well thought-out and worded review...I must see this film.
I felt Prometheus was glorious to watch -- aesthetically. It was flawed and didn't do the franchise justice...but it was still worth watching. I remember seeing Blomkamp's artwork a while ago and...
The second episode was really quite good. I believe the show has a very high ceiling to reach for. Odenkirk is fantastic, the writing is outstanding, and the idea behind the show certainly will have...
Wait, didn't IV gives us a look into Lemarchand (that was the part I loved about that film)? Is it because Barker had nothing to with IV that he ignores that entry in the franchise?
I agree. I didn't think there'd be a season worse than Coven -- but Freakshow pulled it off. I certainly hope the creative team behind the show understands how much of a disappointment the season was...
