Review: "The cabin in the woods movie review"

It's not exactly oscar-worthy material but for a horror movie, it is good. In fact, I think this is the best recent horror movie (the thriller genre is not counted). The whole movie has a sense of dread but it is notable for its black humor especially its tongue-in-cheek story. I like it in the sense that it is unpredictable. Of course, the first 45 minutes feature cliche stuff from the slashers movies. But the fun begins after that mark and the movie becomes a bizarre entertainment.

The story: It is pretty straight forward for the first 45 minutes. The roles of the characters are what they are being labeled. The Jock, The Virgin, The slut, The stoner and The smart guy. It is not a spoiler when they are being killed off one by one. But there are some interesting twists of how some of the characters die. After the movie hits its 45 minutes mark, it takes turn and become unpredictable and bizarrely fun. Nothing being spoiled. The ending will set tongues wagging. The acting is okay, the cast are good-looking. The special effects are great for a low-budget movie. Music is good for a horror movie. Only thing I dislike is some of the unnecessary shock scenes.

Overall: It should be worth to catch it in cinema. This movie is something like you will either love or hate it. I enjoyed it for what it is. Though it is a horror movie, it never take itself seriously. A rare horror movie that does that. I have no idea how this kind of movie gets to be on the shelf of the company for 3 years. Seriously a long time.

Rating: 4.5/5 Review: "Man of Steel movie review" With all the hype from the trailers, I must say this is what it looks to be expected. I have to say that this is the biggest and epic superhero movie yet. This treats destructions like child's play. It is also the most explosive superhero movie. There are so much explosions that they could literally make you exhausted from watching all those. Although this is directed by Zack Snyder, this does not have much of his trademark except the visuals. His slo-mo trademark is not featured. Instead, the action is rapid fast. Man of Steel is a good entertainment with exciting action scenes and visuals but at the same, a somehow touching human drama. The story: We get an extended opening scene on Krypton where Kal-El is just born. However the planet is going to be destroyed with General Zod adding to the problem. To save Kal-El, he has to be sent to another planet known as Earth. What is interesting about the movie that it do...

Rating: 3.5/5 Review: Taken DVD review Taken is a new action movie that makes the audiences want more hard and gritty action flicks. I can see that now. Taken has the drama (Yawn!) and the realistic action (Like the Borne movies). Clocking at only 1 and a half hour, the movie starts off slow with drama. After half and hour pass, it goes straight to the intensity and non-stop realistic action. I don't like the slow start. As it is only 1 and a half hour, it do not have the time for slow characters' development. It should drive straight to the action, unless it clocks around 2 hours. The story: It seems to be the usual kidnapping movies where the bad guys kidnap some random girl/boy and ask for ransom. But in this, they kidnap young women to become sex-slaves. A father of a kidnapped daughter is enraged and goes to Paris where his daughter is. "I will find you! I will kill you!" He says to the bad guys. He starts punching and kicking people to hell. He kicks men's b...

Rating: 3.8/5 Review: "Resident Evil: Retribution movie review" It was a pity that I did not manage to catch it in 3D. I have no doubt that it looks good in 3D since the previous movie looks good in 3D. To say the truth, Resident Evil: Retribution seems to be nothing special without the amazing 3D like what Resident Evil: Afterlife is. The 5th movie is all about action and suspense, the story is pretty straight-forward. The story: You are a fool if you go and watch a Resident Evil movie expecting good story line and acting. So far, none of the movies in the franchise have these qualities. But they are entertaining to watch because of the action and suspense. This is the most action-packed Resident Evil movie so far. The action scenes are also better and bigger. It is like a kind of compensation for the lack of action in Resident Evil: Afterlife. It is not only filled with action but it is also intense. Music in this is also the best in the franchise; it has a more ep...
