Annabelle

 

How was Annabelle?

I had pretty high expectations for this movie, and let's just say that this movie did not at all live up to my expectations. This movie is an adaptation of the movie The Conjuring, Annabelle was a semi important character in that movie and the actual movie Annabelle was telling the story behind the doll Annabelle.

Summary?

The story is set around a young couple who are expecting a baby. They are neighbors to an older couple who's daughter ran away. Mia, the main character is a doll collector, her husband gets her the exclusive new doll (Annabelle). One night Mia hears a scream from their neighbors house, her husband goes to check it out only to find that there neighbors are injured. Mia run inside to call 911, their is a woman in her house who is holding the doll she says "I like your dolls" Mia is scared and backs into a man. The man stabs Mia by her pregnant stomach the cops come and shoot the man and woman. The woman happened to be Annabelle Higgins the older couples daughter. Annabelle dies with the Annabelle doll in her arms. I single drop of blood drops into the dolls eye. The rest of the movie is mainly about Annabelle and a demon presence.

Would you recommend this to others?

If you don't like scary movies but would like to give them a try with a not really scary movie, then I would recommend it. But if you are a huge scary movie fan like me, I wouldn't watch this movie.

Would you watch this movie again?

Probably not, unless there was nothing else, or I was watching it with someone show wanted to watch it.The movie was semi scary and I feel like would be a good movie for someone to watch if they didn’t want an extremely scary movie.

Rating from 1-10?

I would probably give this movie a 4.7 because it wasn't so terrible that I would rate it a 3 but it was pretty bad.

Favorite part of the movie?

This movie had a couple good jump scares which was good, there was also some parts that were genuinely scary. Also at the very beginning of the movie the focus is on the sky in the background and then the focus cuts to the gargoyle in the foreground which was a really great filmed shot.

The Woman In Black II

   

How was The Woman In Black II?

To all those scary movie lovers out there this movie did not meet expectations. I went to go see this movie in the theaters and did not get scared once! I had pretty low expectations for this movie, not going to lie, but I at least thought it would be better than the first movie. It was not. Another thing I did not like about this movie was that the plot was horrible and kind of hard to follow.

    Summary?

The movie was set during a war in London. The main character is a young woman who's occupation is to take children who cannot stay in the town to safer places. The young woman and another lady take the children to a house in the country. Strange things begin to happen. The so called 'Woman in Black' has "possessed" a young boy. Children begin dying and the young woman and her male companion try to solve the mystery of the "Woman in Black'

   Would you recommend this to others?

Absolutely not. I would not waste $1.50 at redbox to watch this movie. Not only was this as bad or possibly even worse than the first Woman In Black movie, it had nothing to do with it! The whole point of sequels of movies is to continue on with a story, not to create a completely different story. Another point that I was disappointed in was the whole scary movie factor. Scary movies are called scary movies because they are scary. There are those times when a movie is so amazing and psychological that they don't have to be very scary. But The Woman In Black II was horrible, not scary at all, and a terribly messed up plot. The whole movie revolves around a strange force getting children to kill themselves.

Would you watch this movie again?

The only time I would ever watch this terrible movie again would be if I was forced or if I had to write a report on a horrific movie.

Rating from 1-10?

I would probably give this movie a 2.

Favorite Part of the Movie?

My Favorite part of this movie would probably be the very end when all of the pieces fell together, or when the movie ended. Although I did enjoy this one shot of the train going into the tunnel, it was shot very well, I was impressed.

Maleficent

I recently watched this movie and I would like to give it 5/5 stars. This movie was awesome and very impressive. It tells a completely different story of the traditional "Sleeping Beauty" story but from the perspective of maleficent. This movie incorporated true love, action, and a little bit of comedy. This movie also proved that a mother's love outrules all love. If you get the chance, watch this movie!! 

Godzilla

This movie was suprisingly very good. It had everything a movie should have, action, romance, and suspense. Also, it was very impressive that they didn't show Godzilla till about 3/4 into the movie. The beginning of the movie is in china, there's a familt saying good bye as the parents go to work. The parents are at some sort of nuclear plant. The mom goes downstairs into some strange part, you hear that the place is about to blow. Unfortunately that dad could not save the mom. Then the story is set many years later and the story centers around the son who now has a family to take care of.

 

Scream

Halloween is just around the corner and that means haunted houses, corn mazes, and my personal favorite Scary Movies. If you haven't already noticed I have been reviewing a lot of scary movies in this month of October. This is partly because it is Halloween season but also because I just really love scary movies. Scream would have to be a classic. This was one of the first scary movies I ever watched.

The movie starts out with Drew Barrymore at her house making popcorn and watching a scary movie. She gets a phone. Wrong number, she hangs up. But the caller keeps calling. At one point Barrymore flirts with the caller lying and saying she doesn't have a boyfriend. One call the caller says "I can see you" Barrymore gets freaked out. 

She looks to the back of the house and sees her boyfriend Steve tied up and bleeding. She gets scared and turns off the light. Casey's parents come home to see the popcorn burning on the stove and Casey no where in sight. The mother runs outside to see Casey hanging from a tree. 

The story then shifts to Sydney. Sydney goes to the same high school that Casey went too so she hears about her. The masked killer is a big deal now and everyone is a suspect. Tune in to this great scary movie now! 

Devil

I watched this movie for the first time this week and it was excellent. It was scary, but not really scary. So if your terrifed of scary movies don't let that stop you from watching this movie. 

The movie starts with 5 people walking into an office building. There is an older woman, security guard, younger woman, hipster of sort guy, and a business looking man. They all step into an elevator. The elevator goes up, just like it should, then comes to an abrupt stop. Everything's fine... right? Wrong. There's 5 people stuck in the elevator, one problem one of them happens to be the devil. 

Like any normal person would, everyone is freaking out. Upstairs there are two security guards looking at the footage of all the elevators, when they see that elevator 6 has come to a halt. They try to communicate to the people in the elevator but it only works one way. They tell them that there is a someone going to try to fix it. 

Meanwhile the elevator is going bizzark, lights are turning on and off and conflict is starting to arise. When the lights turn off for a significant amount something horrible happens. After the lights turn on the young woman's back is bleeding. Looking like bite marks. The two security guards see and call the detective. 

The detective happened to be investigating a suicide in that same building. The detective arrives to a someone dead in the elevator. No ones know what is going on and you'll just have to watch the movie to find out. 

Life of Pi

In honor of reading this in English, I am reviewing the movie Life of Pi. This was a very long, but good book. The book is split into 3 parts. Part 1, Pi's background, all about his life and his religious morals. Part 2, Pi's life at sea. Part 3, the interview between Pi and the 2 Japanese interviewers. The book exemplified great detail and was very entertaining to read. The movie... not so much. On a scale of 1-5 I would rate the movie a 4 not reading the book, and a 3 having read the book. In my opinion the book was way better than the movie. And I know that movies won't always be like books but they added in many things, and forgot to put in a lot of things that were  very important. For example they gave Pi a girlfriend in the movie, but she wasn't in the book. They also shortened the part when Pi is on the island and that is one of the longest and most important parts of part 2.  Anyways the movie was mediocre and I wouldn't watch it again but it was worth watching
