In My Opinion Better Than The First

Verified Purchase:Yes
The first A Haunted House wasn't really a hit, however it made enough money back that a sequel was created. If you liked the 1st then your sure to like the 2nd one. A lot of jokes are hit and miss but theres no doubt that Marlon and the cast are giving it their all with the horror/comedy jokes and just seeing what sticks. Good low budget effort.

Better Than Expected

Most people that go in might not realize this is a traditional comedy and not a "stunt film" but if given the chance its actually a solid funny movie with both Bam and Ryan giving good performances.

Smith's Rebound
on January 7, 2015
Posted by: reviewinlu

Verified Purchase:Yes
After the studio flop that was Cop Out one had to wonder what and where director Kevin smith would go and do. He returned to cinema with the independent Red State, which gained a lot of praise.
That film was also Kevin's first foray in to the genre of horror.
Well, with Tusk he's at it again. In many ways Tusk is somewhat similar to Red State, another horror film, another independent undertaking, another critical success, and again, Michael Parks seems to steal the show. The premise is well documented when it comes to the how and why this movie was made. One thing that can be said is it has an original premise. Everyone's performances are on point and make for a film that'll be hard to forget after you get finished watching. Kevin Smith seems to be rejuvenated and on the rebound and cinema is better for it.

Fuqua and Denzel Do It Again
on January 7, 2015
Posted by: reviewinlu
from Dayton, OH
Verified Purchase:Yes
Coming off Training Day one had to wonder not if, but when, the team of director Antoine Fuqua and actor Denzel Washington would team again.
The Equalizer is that film and while not quite reaching the level of Training Day they still show that a great watch and good finished product is almost always in store when they team up to do a film. Every actor seems to be on their A game with Chloe Moretz getting the most praise, commonly, for her performance, although all the actors seem to give it their all here, no one is just collecting a paycheck and sleepwalking through this one. The plot is somewhat been there done that with the age old trope of aging hitman/military/police/etc. pulled back into the life that they left behind. Overall though the film stays entertaining and original enough that it doesn't sidetrack the finished product.

Good, But Not As Good As The First

Verified Purchase:Yes
The first Sin City captured magic, certainly it was a tough film to pull off and onto of that successfully doing so. After a long wait the sequel finally arrives and it has more of the same you've come to expect from a Sin City movie. They do a great job of capturing the feel of the books, much like they did with the first, however the beats of the movie closely (maybe too closely) follow the original, having said that, most sequels do though. There's a couple actors replacing some of the original cast members and it can be jarring at first but in some chases it couldn't be avoided.
If you were a fan of the first Sin City movie then you're sure to enjoy this one.

Not Bad
on December 23, 2014
Posted by: reviewinlu
from Dayton, OH
Verified Purchase:Yes
Anyone will probably say Twister is the definitive tornado movie, and that certainly seems true, but there hasn't been many and I believe this is the first true theatrical release of a tornado based weather movie since Twister came out in the 90s. Having said that if you enjoy disaster movies or a good but not great action film then this one's for you. Its not a bad movie, some of the cast are lackluster in their performances, the plot (tornado of fire?) is sometimes sketchy, and the CG effects aren't the best, but if you can put that aside your likely to enjoy or get a kick out of this one.

Better Than The First
on November 26, 2014
Posted by: reviewinlu
from Dayton, OH
Verified Purchase:Yes
21 Jump Street was a great comedy, one of the best of the year, however 22 Jump Street proves that you can make a good sequel to a comedy. The typical format to a comedy sequel is to copy or duplicate what worked the first time and in some cases even reuse the plot of the original. Whats unique is that 22 Jump Street is another one of those movies. For the most part the movie plays out closely as the first one does. But the smart thing the writer/directors did was making nods (in a parody of itself way) that it is repeating the first film various scenarios. Everyone is on point again and the comedy is just as strong as ever.

Sci Fi Standout

Verified Purchase:Yes
Something happened a while ago with Tom Cruise, he started picking great movies to star in again. Edge of Tomorrow is certainly one of his best outputs ultimately. Now upon first viewing this movie if you have an idea of what the premise is, like me, you may think how in the world will this sustain itself for to hours and still be enjoyable. Certainly other movies have tried over the years to pull off the retread groundhog day esqe plot, Vanishing Point and Source Code to name a few more recently and it seems that films with that style of plot are becoming better and better and finding the balance to pull off a seemingly tough plot line. There is actually quite a bit of humor sprinkled in this one, and it helps pull off the believability and idea that a person keeps reliving the same events. The action and effects are top notch and well done. This one deserves to be seen.

Better Off Ted

Verified Purchase:Yes
When your watching a Seth McFarlane movie its apparent and easy to tell almost instantly, and if you've ever seen a episode of Family Guy than you know what to expect. Now Seth's first directorial effort had all the elements to make it a hit, his 2nd though does not necessarily. Something feels off about this one, its not bad, but there is something about the film taking place in an old western setting and being stuffed with current polar culture gags and jokes that doesn't translate. It may be the fact that if this were intact an episode of Family Guy or an animation picture that maybe would be different but ultimately every actor seems like they are having fun and believe in the material and the movie isn't destroyed by a couple bad bits. Certainly this isn't a bad film but its one that has been overlooked and passed up by many, perhaps, unfairly. This movie deserves a viewing.

One Of the Better Web Series Out There.

Look, theres no denying that Legacy is not as strong as a would be proper movie or even to some the past Mortal Kombat movies from the 90s, but for a web only series it's one of the better efforts I've seen. Certainly Legacy is not a masterpiece, Ive never been a fan of the abrupt anime episodes in the run, but due to budget constraints it makes sense that there'd has to be some cuts here and there. Legacy II is not as good as the first, but there is some good cinematography and a few good acting performances, when given perspective this isn't a terrible effort and should be appreciated for what may be the only Mortal Kombat live action filmography we could be offered for awhile.
