Insidious Chapter 3 (2015)

A unsatisfying sequel that manages some world-building, however extremely must build designer Shaye the put concentration of the series. Despite in operation within the oversaturated horror subgenre of supernatural possession, the primary 2 Insidious movies shocked audiences due to their level of invention. From the depths of the shadowy, fog-filled The any, to advanced levels of stellar projection -- to even to a small degree of cool time shifting -- the films have managed to place attention-grabbing twists on rather customary supernatural haunting/possession stories. Going into the actr

SPY Movie (2015)

Another humourous giving from the ribald couple of director Paul Feig and his audacious muse, Melissa McCarthy.Spy is that the funniest issue to happen to the spying genre since capital of Texas Powers: International Man of Mystery. Like electro-acoustic transducer Myers’ surreal and goofy hit, Spy has associate impeccable understanding of however a emissary story is meant to unfold, and it follows the expected beats… for the foremost half. however Spy systematically holds its material up to the sunshine and approaches it from new angles, curious what are often funny a few genre that somet

Snow White And The Huntsman

"Snow White and the Huntsman" reinvents the legendary story in a film of astonishing beauty and imagination. It's the last thing you would expect from a picture with this title. It falters in its storytelling, because Snow White must be entirely good, the Queen must be entirely bad, and there's no room for nuance. The end is therefore predetermined. But, oh, what a ride. This is an older Snow White than we usually think of. Played for most of the film by Kristen Stewart, capable and plucky, she has spent long years locked in a room of her late father's castle, imprisoned by his crue

Rango

"Rango" is some kind of a miracle: An animated comedy for smart moviegoers, wonderfully made, great to look at, wickedly satirical, and (gasp!) filmed in glorious 2-D. Its brilliant colors and startling characters spring from the screen and remind us how very, very tired we are of simpleminded little characters bouncing around dimly in 3-D. This is an inspired comic Western, deserving comparison with "Blazing Saddless," from which it borrows a lot of farts. The more movies you've seen, the more you may like it; it even enlists big bats to lampoon the helicopter attack in "Apocalypse

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter

"Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" is without a doubt the best film we are ever likely to see on the subject — unless there is a sequel, which is unlikely, because at the end, the Lincolns are on their way to the theater. It's also a more entertaining movie than I remotely expected. Yes, Reader, I went expecting to sneer. The story opens with young Abe witnessing the murder of his mother by a vampire. He swears vengeance, and some years later is lucky to be getting drunk while standing at a bar next to Henry Sturgess (Dominic Cooper), who coaches him on vampire-killing and explains t

Paranormal Activity 2

"Paranormal Activity 2" is an efficient delivery system for Gotcha! Moments, of which it has about 19. Audiences who want to be Gotchaed will enjoy it. A Gotcha! Moment is a moment when something is sudden, loud and scary. This can be as basic as the old It's Only a Cat cliché, or as abrupt as a character being hit by a bus. PA2 starts slyly with pre-Gotcha! teasers, such as a door or a child's toy moving on its own. Then there are obscure off-screen rumbles, like a uneasy stomach. Then loud bangs. Then loud bangs with visible causes. Then all the doors in a room banging open at onc

The Cabin In The Woods

You're not going to see this one coming. You might think you do, because the TV ads and shots at the top reveal what looks like the big surprise — and it certainly comes as a surprise to the characters. But let's just say there's a lot more to it than that. "The Cabin in the Woods" sets off with an ancient and familiar story plan. Five college students pile into a van and drive deep into the woods for a weekend in a borrowed cabin. Their last stop is of course a decrepit gas station populated by a demented creep who giggles at the fate in store for them. (In these days when movies a

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted

Here is a family movie from which absolutely nothing is expected, and yet it's one of the week's best releases: a muscular, potent and very funny film. It's the animated threequel from the DreamWorks studio about those wacky animals once resident in New York's fictional Central Park Zoo, who are now struggling to make their way back from Africa to America via, of all places, Monte Carlo. Not an obvious stopover. Ben Stiller voices Alex the lion, Chris Rock is Marty the zebra, David Schwimmer is Melman the giraffe and Jada Pinkett Smith is Gloria the hippo. Sacha Baron Cohen returns a
