yes it was awesome!!!!

Clown - I love Eli Roth and how he makes his movies. This started as a fake movie trailer and then they decided to make it! Not his best work but some parts are scary. 6/10

Monsters: Dark Continent - I enjoyed the original even though there weren't many aliens. Same goes for this sequel, it's 2 hours long and comes out on april 17th. It's a good military movie definitely but didn't need to be a sequel honestly. I did enjoy it for what it was though. 7/10

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 - 8/10

I enjoyed the film quite a bit considering I was not a huge fan of the first two films (Second one especially). The actor portraying Peeta Mellark is at least in my opinion extremely bland and grating and his very small number of scenes is a huge plus for me. As for Jennifer Lawrence this movie had some of her best scenes in the franchise and some of the worst acting wise. She seems to be struggling from severe chemistry issues with the two male leads. Anyways I suppose I just found the overall plot far more interesting then the regurgitated teen battle royale and awkward romance from the first two.

Dark House - Has tobin bell from saw and directed by the guy who did Jeepers Creepers. This movie is all over the place with random plot holes. Not that good but not terrible. 5/10.

Evil Dead - This is my favorite movie of all time and gave me the inspiration to be a director so to me its a perfect 10/10.

Interstellar - 5/5 NNR

Loved this. Incredible movie. It has some messily sappy moments and the methods they employ to educate viewers about the basics of relativity, quantum mechanics & black hole theory are aggressively convenient, but this is a great film all the way around. Hugely recommended to just about anyone with an attention span longer than pop media believes is possible.

Inherent Vice - 4/5

Speaking of attention spans, you'll need a to devote one entirely to this movie if you don't want to get lost. Very dialogue driven, noir-esque, semi-comedic, private dick story starring Juaquin Phoenix as a pot head P.I. in 1970 Southern California. Based on the Thomas Pynchon novel of the same name.

Been watching a lot more TV the last month, so movie watching has gone down some; anyway, last four weeks, ranked:

The Guest (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – This film was directed by Adam Wingard, who also directed You’re Next. His films are usually a bit different for the genre; You’re Next being an atypical home invasion horror/thriller. This time around he makes an action/thriller, with some aspects of horror thrown in there, too. It’s really quite good, with an excellent performance from the lead, Dan Stevens. He’s recently returned home from war, and quickly shacks up with the family of one of his squad mates. They soon realize there’s a lot more behind the charisma and good looks. I liked the build-up, even though it gets a little more actioney than it really needed to in the end. I recommend it to fans of Halloween, Drive, and Wingard’s previous film, You’re Next.
7.5/10

The Truman Show (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I thought it was good, in a meta sort of way. Jim Carrey stars as a man whose entire life is broadcast as a television show. The premise, story, and execution are all very well done, and Carrey turns in a heartfelt performance. It took me some time to warm up to it, but as his character begins to realize the conspiracy, it gets significantly better.
7.5/10

A Few Good Men (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I’m a sucker for courtroom dramas, and I’ve always wanted to see the movie surrounding one of the most famous movie quotes, “You can’t handle the truth”. Overall, it’s very well done, with good performances from all. The story’s predictable, but fortunately the performances are strong enough to compensate.
7/10

Star Trek: Insurrection (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – Another one of the older Star Trek films. I liked this one, but not quite as much as First Contact, the previous film in the Next Generation series of films. Picard > Kirk, ftw.
7/10

Rocky (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I don’t know how, but for some reason, I had never seen this from start to finish in one sitting. I thought it was pretty good, but it didn’t strike any chords with me. I think Stallone more than proves he can act, though.
7/10

Insurgent (Theater, 1st viewing) – I haven’t seen the first film, but I did read Divergent, so I was pretty well up to speed for this. I thought it was decent, but not the next great YA series. I do think there are aspects of it I liked better than The Hunger Games, to be honest. However, I just can’t shake the feeling that most of these YA series (though entertaining) are just treading over the same ground over and over.
6.5/10

Justice League: The Throne of Atlantis (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – Solid; I’m not as crazy about the New 52 stories as the older stuff, but it’s still cool. This film provides an origin story of sorts for Aquaman. Continues the trend of violence and gore in the DC animated universe, which I’m not certain how I feel about. They’re certainly darker than the earlier animated films and shows, but I think it loses a bit of the appeal with the characters, IMHO.
6.5/10

Batman: Assault on Arkham (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – Basically the same as above. I’m interested to see the Suicide Squad live action film that’s set to come out in the future. This is also one of the animated features that uses the Batman name pretty liberally. This is a movie about the Suicide Squad; yes, Batman is in the film, but it’s really not a Batman film. Overall, I thought it added to the Arkham cannon, and is worth a watch for fans of the character and game series.
6.5/10

Justice League: The New Frontier (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – Pretty good DC animated film, but not one of my favorites. This one is set in the 50s, and acts as an origin story (of sorts) for the Justice League. It’s a bit lighter than some of the more recent films, but is suitably dark when necessary.
6.5/10

Dreamcatcher (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I thought this was pretty good, in a schlocky horror kind of way. Basically a group of long-time friends travel to a remote cabin every year for a few weeks. Overall, the story isn’t very focused, and there are a few too many story strands that are not connected well to the big picture. If you can watch the film with an open mind, and just enjoy it as a horror/thriller, and not a big, expansive story (like I believe it was intended), you’ll like it. The ensemble cast is good, with Damian Lewis being the stand out.
6.5/10

Deep Blue Sea (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – Similar to the above, this is just a good, old fashioned killer animal movie, nothing more, nothing less. Thomas Jane is good in the lead, which further fuels my distaste for how he fell from grace as a lead man. I think he had the chops to be a prominent figure, but he’s just been lost in obscurity lately, playing in straight-to-dvd fare. It’s a fun film, which is where I think director Renny Harlin is at his best.
6.5/10

The Last Exorcism (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – Enjoyable little indie horror with some found footage aspects. A preacher who’s lost his faith and is moonlighting as a man who breaks exorcisms finally uncovers the genuine article. Gets a bit hokey towards the ending, but the pacing is good, and the acting is surprisingly good for this sort of film.
6.5/10

Rocky II (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – Not as good as the original, but still a pretty good film. Stallone was finding his way around acting a bit better here, so it’s less abrasive from that standpoint. However, the material’s not as good, so there’s some give and take with it overall.
6.5/10

Rocky IV (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I had seen bits and pieces of this on T.V. before, but had never watched it straight through. It’s definitely lower quality than the earlier films in terms of quality and acting, but is a good bad movie. Ivan Drago is a cool villain, well played by Dolph Lundgren. I would love to ask someone involved what made them decide to keep Paulie around for so long – what a terrible character.
6/10

Dead Calm (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – It gets off to a strong start, but the lack of clarity and needlessly convoluted plot hurt it a bit in my eyes. Nicole Kidman and Sam Neill’s lose their young son, and in efforts to heal from the experience, take to the open seas for a period of time in their sailboat. Billy Zane’s character happens upon their boat, and issues ensue. It never really explained what happened on the boat he was on before, and the execution after they realize what he is was pretty formulaic. Worth a watch, but wasn’t as much of a sleeper hit as I’d hoped, given the subject matter. These types of thrillers are usually a pretty safe bet for me.
6/10

Jacob’s Ladder (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – Overall a pretty well done psychological horror film, but nothing special to me. Tim Robbins is a Vietnam veteran, who has also lost one of his young sons. The viewer is left to decide if Jacob is dead, experiencing hallucinations, or otherwise. I thought the ending was good, definitely could see it coming, but it was well executed. Worth a watch for genre fans.
6/10

The Princess Bride (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I’ll probably catch some flak for it, but this didn’t do much for me. I thought it was generic for a fantasy tale, and I just can’t buy Cary Elwes in any role.
5.5/10

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I didn’t hate the first movie, though I am usually pretty forgiving with the comic book adaptations. This one doesn’t try to do too much (which is my only major complaint with the original film), and just basically plays out as a 90 minute action film. Cage is crazy and awesome.
5/10

The Captive (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – If you take a look at the plot summary and the critic reviews, you’ll see this was given unfair comparisons to the excellent Prisoners. It deals with a child being abducted, but it goes fully into left field with its far-fetched concept. I won’t spoil it for anyone, but just bare in mind you’re not getting a film of very high quality. There’s a lot of big names in it, and for the most part, they do just fine.
5/10

No Good Deed (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I thought it was watchable, but doesn’t make use of Idris Elba or the concept very well. Had it played it a little more on the edge, and been a little less talky, it could have worked better.
4/10

The Watcher (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I was intrigued mostly because Keanu Reeves plays a serial killer, which, let’s be honest, we all want to see. Unfortunately it’s super predictable and borrows clichés from every other serial killer / cat and mouse thriller you’ve seen. It’s reasonably short, so you’re not subjected to it for long.
3/10

Missing In Action – I’m not sure what possessed me to want to watch this. I guess I thought all of the hype around Chuck Norris would somehow make this a good movie, but alas, I was wrong. Plays out like a poor facsimile of Rambo II, with a far inferior action star (sorry, Chuck).
2/10

Chuck Norris' tears are the cure to cancer; too bad Chuck never cries (even after this review of MIA!).

Fast 7 - James Wan did an amazing job directing this. It's action packed the whole way through and it should be since the budget was $250 million!!!!! I really enjoyed it and everyone did really well at keeping Paul Walker on for the rest of the movie. 9/10

It Follows - Interesting low budget horror film that's doing fantastic numbers in the theaters. I personally enjoyed the film. However the ending I did not. I think it's worth a watch if you enjoy horror films because it's definitely original. 7.5/10
