Primeval was released in theaters so it's more serious than a Syfy animal movie. They try to have a relevant background story as well with the events happening at the time in Africa. A plus is that I've always found Africa kind of untapped for horror movies. It always comes off to me as an undiscovered and hazardous country with the jungles and various animals roaming about. I'm sure a lot of scary bugs and spiders are there. Someone could make a good movie like Arachnophobia but just starting in Africa.

Anyway, I liked this one. The cast is fine. And the large crocodile and the way it goes about it's business is crazy. There are a few really good shots of it chasing down people.

You might want to check out My Life in the Bush of Ghosts by Amos Tutuola. Its about a boy fleeing from becoming forced into being a child soldier and then the ghosts he meets in the bush. It uses a lot of various African myths about ghosts. Not sure if its general Africa or specifically where he's from.

Blood Father

If ever a role was written with Mel Gibson in mind, this is it. I really liked it, its a no frills exploitation style flick with Mel giving his gruffest performance since Payback. Definitely catch a viewing if you can.

Star Trek Beyond

Awful. I was disappointed to hear a Public Enemy song in the movie, but Chuck D is fine with it. Still not ok with it, but anyway. Pass on this. Just like the first one.

2/10

Ghostbusters (2016)

Disappointing. I quite liked the four main characters (Kate McKinnon being the stand-out) but the story-line was weak and most of the jokes were poor. I didnt like the way they made the ghosts look or the constant nods to the original films either.
With that cast they could've done a lot better.

I loves me some WOLF COP.

!!!HALLOWEEN HORROR MONTH!!!

Left Bank (2008)
I.M.D.B.
When Marie moves into her boyfriend's apartment, she uncovers a disturbing mystery.

Sloooow moving movie from Belgium. This movie took an hour before anything happened, and then took another 30 mins before anything interesting happened. Long, drawn out scenes one after the other with very little pay off at the end. I did not find this one interesting.
5/10

Swiss Army Man (2016)
Tried watching this over a couple of days but couldn't finish it.
It starts out ok, stays that way and just when it starts to get good, something happens everything turns to crap.
Too bad. The world could use a new "Bernie".

Meh the trailer made it look like one of those "quirky heartwarming comedies."
