Carrie, 2013. 5/10





I kinda liked this film. Chloë Grace Moret was excellent. Really liked her covered in blood but the prom scene is when it lost it for me. I liked the kills and such but the 'floating' off the stage was stupid and when she went into the street, that was terrible and then tact on a idiotic ending, that all equals a 5 rating.

I might not have been ready for the kind of movie I just watched because this was a deeply emotional and visceral disaster film. I was expecting a little more of a mindless action thriller than the amount thematic depth that I actually got, and it was a very memorable and intense ride. Everest dramatizes the 1996 Everest disaster that lead to the deaths of eight people, and the movie involves two groups that get caught in a violent storm while climbing Mount Everest. It actually takes a while to get to the real meat of the story. Maybe 40 minutes pass before the storm is even referenced, but the movie gets so intense and emotional during the last half that it makes up for the slow pacing of the first half. Luckily, the slower first half allows us to get to know each character, their motives to climbing the mountain and each of their backstories. The second half is so much more effective because of this. One thing that bothered me about the film were these random lapses in time that were distracting at times. One moment it would maybe be 2:30 PM, and thirty seconds later, it'll be 5:00 PM. Some of the transitions just felt choppy, but it's not such a big deal that it takes away from the film. Everest is a movie that grabs you and takes your breath away for 2 hours, and it's one that you need to see in the theater.

8/10

Ah, and I'm guessing you didn't see it in the theatre? I'm only guessing that cause you said, "the kind of movie I just watched"; where the common vernacular for theatre viewers would be, "movie I just saw".

I haven't seen this, but I also think this is a big screen & theatre immersement type of film. One probably shouldn't be too cozy while viewing it.
-----------

I always thought it so odd for people to climb a notoriously dangerous mountain like Everest. It's so expensive, & you choose to risk taking yourself away from your family (death) -- even some climbers having young children. You risk your life like that to gain what if you make it? I'm probably being overly critical, but it seems somewhere between egregiously selfish, to subtlety suicidal.

Sleepy Hollow-1999. I forgot how great this movie is. That Christopher Walken sure knows how to kiss a girl.


Cast Away-2000.

Resident Evil: Afterlife 8/10

Hidden (2015)



>>: B-

The Nightmare (2015)



>>: C

The Visit (2015)



A pretty decent & the most simplest psychological horror/thriller from Night Shyamalan so far, IMO. Liked it, didn't mind the "comedy" aspects but yeah, I also think it would be more enjoyable if Shyamalan avoided the POV/found footage/hand held camera approach.

>>: B+

On a side note, this movie must have been a long, long time in the makings, coz I could swear Ferretchucker is only about 13 years old in it.

Ditto!

Exists

Had high hopes but I wasn't all that captivated. It's definitely worth a watch for any Bigfoot fans and/or fans of Eduardo Sanchez, of which I am both, but Exists was just kind of alright. I did like the way they represented the 'squatch and the design was nice, but again, overall the film just lacked...oomph.

One other oddity. For the first time in my movie viewing life, the shaky cam kind of bothered me. It only happened in the daylight scenes shot n the woods, where the light shimmers and flashes, but it was making my eyes spin. Cant say that's ever happened before.

I did see it in the theater actually. In 3D IMAX too.

I don't think there's really much selfishness behind it. Some people have a passion for climbing, and they want to be as successful as possible with that hobby, so they climb Mt Everest if they think it's realistic.

We actually just watched that in English class. A bunch of people in the class didn't like it because I guess it doesn't have nonstop action or a ton of expository dialog like the mindless movies they usually watch.
