Dracula Untold 7/10

Last two weeks, ranked:

Really Good to Good

The Lego Movie (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I was a little apprehensive, given all of the hype this received, but it definitely met my expectations. It’s good humored, looks great, and manages to tell a pretty good story. The voice actors all did fine work, too. It’s one of those movies that you can’t help but smile at the entire time. If you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend it. It ends up being right in there with the Toy Story films for me, as far as animated movies go. 8.5/10

U.S. Marshalls (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – Yes, I actually thought this was slightly better than The Fugitive, which was a good action thriller, too. U.S. Marshalls isn’t a sequel, but rather a spin-off, with Tommy Lee Jones playing the central role. It follows a similar pattern that The Fugitive did, but is probably a little heavier on the action, and a bit lighter on the thrills. Either way, I thought it was very entertaining, and is in the upper echelon for these types of movies.
7.5/10

The Drop (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – This is one of those movies that keeps you in the dark for a while, but then pulls everything together at the end. You watch most of the movie believing Tom Hardy’s character is a simple guy, possibly even mentally handicapped, but in reality he’s the kind of guy all the fake tough guys in the movie want to be so bad. The acting is very good from start to finish, it’s gritty and compelling, and makes for a great finisher for James Gandolfini.
7/10

The Fugitive (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – As mentioned above, I thought this was a good action thriller. Harrison Ford makes for an excellent “everyman”, and Tommy Lee Jones is strong as the U.S. Marshall chasing him relentlessly. I didn’t think this film was quite as electric and entertaining as its spinoff, but it’s still a brisk, well-paced film.
7/10

Decent

Swordfish (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I like Dominic Sena’s films, even if he does get slammed from the critics. I thought Gone in 60 Seconds was an excellent popcorn movie, and though this is a notch lower, it’s still a decently fun watch. Plus, Hugh Jackman; I mean come on, the guy’s awesome. This is a hard one to categorize because it’s just so ludicrous and far-fetched.
6.5/10

Lucy (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I thought it was a little short and thin from a plot perspective, but packs in quite a lot into its 83 minute runtime. Luc Besson is at his best when he’s directing these type of films; those that rely on just good old fashioned shoot em’ ups.
6.5/10

Predestination (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I liked the brother director’s previous film, Daybreakers, and given that this was also a high concept sci-fi story, I knew I had to check it out. It spans many, many years and multiple generations, so there’s definitely an epic scope to it. It is, however, difficult to follow at times, and you will be dumped on your head at times with some of the crazy twists. Worth a watch for anyone who likes their heady sci-fi films.
6.5/10

Superman: Brainiac Attacks (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I didn’t realize this and Unbound both feature Brainiac as the central villain, but he’s pretty cool, so it was no big deal. This is an older animated feature that was given a catalogue release a few years ago. The art style is a little more basic than in Unbound, and the story is slightly more kid-friendly. The DC features of late are a bit darker than the earlier films. I like these lighter films just as much, mostly just because Tim Daly is awesome as the voice actor for Superman.
6/10

Superman: Unbound (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – Another pretty good DC Animated feature, but not on par with the couple I watched last week, Superman vs. The Elite and All-Star Superman. Braniac makes for a decent villain, but everything is for the most part cut and stock outside of that.
6/10

22 Jump Street (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – It’s not a bad comedy, but I’m not sure how much more leg work they can get out of these. Tatum and Hill play off of one another nicely, but this film follows the same basic template the first had, so there’s not much beyond the laughs, which I didn’t think there a ton of. As you’ve probably noticed with my reviewing, I’m not a very good authority on comedies; there are some I really like, but for the most part, I’m looking for other things in movies.
6/10

Horns (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – had to check this out because Alexandre Aja directed it, and I’ve found his horror works to be pretty solid, especially the remake of The Hills Have Eyes. Unlike his other films, this isn’t a pure horror film; it’s a mash up of some horror, a little thriller, a bit of romance, but mostly fantasy. Apparently this was adapted from Joe Hill’s work, which I’m unfamiliar with. I can’t comment on it as an adaptation, but as a film, it’s just okay. Radcliffe is good as the protagonist (sort of), and it manages to stay fairly entraining throughout, however, because it jumbles so many genres, I found it to be a little odd in terms of tone. It may appeal to some, but it wasn’t especially successful at any specific thing to me.
6/10

Passable

Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I like the series, and though there are some nods to the previous films, this one is mostly in parallel to those events. The characters aren’t quite as likeable in this one as the others, but aren’t too douchy. The scenes where they’re in the basement of the witch’s house are probably the strongest in the film. Oh, and the scenes where they’re in the church. As with the other films in the series, it follows that same basic style: get to know the characters, low-key scares, and then the final ‘shit hits the fan’ phase.
5.5/10

White Noise (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – It does feature Michael Keaton, which always a good thing, but it’s just average horror material. When his wife dies, Keaton’s character begins to contact her through the ‘white noise’. Low and behold, there are the good spirits (like his wife), and the bad spirits, which methodically kill anyone who tries to make contact. Plays out very predictably, but manages to stay moderately entertaining thanks to Mr. Keaton.
5.5/10

V/H/S 2 (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – Goes more for shock value than true horror, in my opinion. This time around, the “main story” is better, with some slightly more likeable characters, but it’s still not that interesting. The best of the bunch was, once again, the last of the films, and it also happened to be the shortest. So for me, I would rank them: Slumber Party Abduction, Zombie Hiker, Cult, and lastly the opening short. The Cult short was disturbing, but was a little too “out there” to be that scary. The opening short wasn’t scary and was contrived. The Zombie Hiker one was good, and did some interesting things. The Slumber Party Abduction will probably be most people’s least favorite, but I thought the production values were good, and it was probably the most realistic feeling. This film and the original are not necessarily that great, but they’re never boring, thanks to the varying stories and uncomfortable imagery.
5.5/10

Neighbors (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – It’s an okay comedy, but just isn’t really my thing. I don’t have anything against this movie in particular, but Seth Rogen has run his course with me. He plays the same guy in every movie, and his brand of humor just doesn’t do much for me.
5/10

Babadook - Overall keeps you interested. Some praise it as an amazing and some don't, personally it think its pretty creepy. 7/10

Legend of Korra Season 1 - Watched this in one sitting and loved it 8.5/10

Pride and Glory - This was a pretty good cop movie. Edward Norton is the shit!! 8/10

mousehunt 10/10

All is Lost - 5/5

Hottub Time Machine 2 - Not as funny as the original but it's still pretty funny. 6.5/10

Lazarus Effect - Interesting movie. I liked it for being a PG-13 horror movie. 7/5/10

No Good Deed - An entertaining thriller 6.5/10

Juice - Awesome movie. 8.5/10

Cabin Fever: Patient Zero - Is very shitty and doesn't need to be watched unless you've seen the other two and have to watch every movie they ever make in a franchise :( 2/10

Not a great two-week period of movie watching. Seems like a lot of the new movies I’ve watched lately have been rough.

Last two weeks, ranked:

The Purge: Anarchy (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I liked the first one, though I do recognize that the concept worked better in theory than it did in film. However, they made a good move in taking this one out of the ‘home invasion’ setting and putting the protagonists on the street, where the true chaos is occurring. Frank Grillo stars in Anarchy as a cop, who lost his son to a vehicular accident sometime back. He’s essentially using the purge as a means to get revenge on the man who took his son from him. He learns in his travels that he’s not the kind of man who can do that, but he does find the strength along the way to save some of the innocents who are caught out after the beginning of the purge event. Grillo is easily the best thing about this movie; the character feels a lot like The Punisher, who’s one of my favorite heroes in the Marvel universe. The supporting cast is good enough, there’s plenty of action, and the story is solid. I liked it and can definitely see myself watching it again in the future.
7/10

The Rover (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I’m all for some post-apocalyptic films, and I’m also a fan of Guy Pearce. This one’s set in an undefined period of time after the collapse of the world’s economy, and takes place in Australia. Guy Pearce’s vehicle is stolen by Robert Pattison’s brother and some other sketchy characters. Pearce never relents in his pursuit of the car, and Pattinson teams up with him along the way. There’s a decent payoff at the end that makes perfect sense, and it’s very dark overall, so I was pleased with that. It’s not as good as The Road, but is worth a look for fans of the end day’s setting.
6.5/10

Horrible Bosses 2 (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – As a sequel to a good comedy, it manages to stay relatively humorous throughout. The cast is very likeable and are clearly having fun with it, so that helps the situation a lot. The three leads work very well together, and play their respective roles quite well. Chris Pine was also surprisingly good in a different performance. I’m usually a little hesitant to get into comedy sequels, but this one was almost as good as the original. It’s not likely to win over folks who didn’t like the first, but if you did enjoy it, it’s worth checking out for sure.
6.5/10

Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – It’s another good DC feature, but doesn’t stand out too much. There’s a lot of action, and it raises some interesting questions (well, Owlman does) along the way too. Not in the upper echelon with the likes of All-Star Superman or Under the Red Hood, but better than some of the others for sure.
6.5/10

Big Hero 6 (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – This year’s big Disney animated feature release. I thought it was good, but isn’t on par with some of their releases from the last few years (mostly thinking of Frozen), but is worth a watch for fans of superheroes. There’s a surprising amount of darkness in it, and I believe older viewers will find it just as entertaining as kids. I thought it was a little short and rushed, and could have used have an additional 10-15 minutes of runtime to better flesh the story.
6.5/10

Cold Creek Manor (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – Dennis Quaid and his family move into a foreclosed home in the country to get away from the buzz of the city. The previous owner isn’t ready to let things go, and begins to terrorize the family. It’s not terrible thrilling, but passes the time well enough. Quaid’s pretty decent as usual, and Sharon Stone makes great eye candy as always. It could have been much better, but it plays things pretty safe in my opinion. It feels a little like Cape Fear, but don’t expect a performance anything like Robert De Niro, though. 6/10
The Interview (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I wasn’t too big on Neighbors or most of Rogen’s stuff in general, but having Franco in there helps tremendously. It has some funny moments, and Franco gets to go full crazy, which suits him very well.
6/10

Carrie (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – It’s mostly just a so-so remake of a superior horror film from Stephen King. Grace-Moretz is good as the title character, but everything else is just tired and played out. She’s an outsider at the high school and after a bit too much bullying, goes crazy and kills tons of people. She spares those who were friendly, but everyone else gets it. The reason for why she has these powers is never fully explored, so it’s up to the viewer to make sense of that. Again, it’s not a bad movie, just very average.
5.5/10

Paranoia (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – In the dictionary for average and generic, there should be a line about this movie. You’d think a movie with Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman would be better, but alas, it’s just a mediocre techno-thriller. Most critics were very down on Liam Hemsworth, but I think he’s fine. The major problems are a super predictable story and generic characters.
5/10

Dumb and Dumber To (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – The original is one of my all-time favorite comedies, so I was both apprehensive and anxious to watch this. I didn’t think it was funny at all, and I spent most of the time just watching the clock. Most of the gags are a throwback to the previous film, which is fine and good, but like so many sequels, there’s nothing new here and it relies too much on the success of the original film. Also, if you take the stupidity of Harry and Lloyd from the first film, crank it up to 10; you get just how bad they are here. I think that’s one reason the first worked so well; yeah, they’re extremely dumb, but in a believable and endearing way. In the sequel, they’re so dumb it’s not believable, and almost entirely unfunny.
3/10

The Remaining (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I’m a complete sucker for apocalyptic films. However, after watching this and Left Behind, I’m still waiting patiently for a great atmospheric film about the rapture. The Remaining isn’t quite as preachy and obnoxious as Left Behind, but it still has its fair share of issues. Most of the actors are people you’ve never seen before, so there’s some cringe worthy stuff in there at times. They also do very little with the concept; after the events start, they’re basically only in two different locations, and don’t make effective use of the potential. I’m hoping that The Stand adaptation steps things up and makes effective use of an idea that has huge potential.
3/10

V/H/S: Viral (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I don’t know if they’ll make another one of these, but even so, I won’t be watching it if they do. The first film had some good shorts in it, and the second did as well, though it wasn’t quite on par. The wrap around story in this one is an absolute mess, and the after-credits short that I believe was cut from the original run-time is a disaster. I challenge anyone to watch the post-credit short and make any sense of it. As for the three short films that comprise the bulk of the 81 minute runtime, well, they’re not entirely bad. The one where everything is inversed (domestic violence is encouraged, for example) had some good things going, but was just too short. The magician one was pretty lame and not scary, and the final segment (the one with the skaters) didn’t do much for me either. So all in all, a pretty bad collection of short films, and hopefully the end of the series, but considering how cheaply these are made and the enormous ROI, I doubt it’s over.
