If there is anything I learnt from watching hundreds of horror movies is this: don’t let strangers into your house. Keanu Reeves lets two young beautiful girls into his home one stormy night and his what’s left of his life will never be the same. This good man, who loves his wife and his kids, … More Knock Knock (2015)
7/10 The Wave reminds us of the past and the possible disasters of the future. This was my first Norwegian film and I didn’t mind reading the subtitles while watching the action unfold. It reminded me a bit of Dante’s Peak, because someone knew and felt the wave was coming, but no one listened until … More The Wave (2015)
5/10 In what appears to be a trend for holiday themed movies, Hollywood bunches an all-star cast together to celebrate something and hopes it is successful. There were many things to enjoy about this film, like some of the characters, the story just doesn’t provide enough depth for us to care when we find out … More Love the Coopers (2016)
3/10 Hyena Road is supposed to pay tribute to the Canadian Forces and all the work they do in Afghanistan, but falls flat on its face. This looked like it would be a compelling military drama when in fact it is a mess of a story with throw away characters not worth investing emotions in. … More Hyena Road (2015)
7/10 Robert DeNiro and Anne Hathaway play delightful characters in good story that really highlighted how distracted people are today both personally and professionally. There’s one aspect of the story I didn’t like that took some of the shine off it as a whole, but despite my feelings The Intern won’t disappoint on movie night.
1/10 I am not one to knock Christian films or values, but 90 Minutes in Heaven was just a terrible, terrible movie. There’s not a whole lot of religion in this film and our main character lies in bed cursing the heavens for 90% of the movie. The story is suppose to be miraculous, not … More 90 Minutes in Heaven (2015)
7/10 I understand why so many people love the Woman in Gold. Sadly for me, this amazing heartbreaking true story was good but not great. There just seemed to be something missing and I can’t say whether it was the characters or the story itself. Ryan Reynolds and Helen Mirren do a fantastic job in … More Woman in Gold (2015)
4/10 The Walk tried to cast a positive light on the World Trace Center, to showcase the buildings in their former glory, but failed miserably. Joseph Gordon-Levitt could have been so much better than his terrible french accent and bad hair cut. I understand this movie was really hard to recreate given the nature of the … More The Walk (2015)
5/10 The Blair Witch Project made me scared of the woods, Backcountry made me scared of bears. Set in the Canadian wilderness, this couple’s romantic camping trip get interrupted by the world’s most determined bear. Things go horribly wrong and our stupid main characters can only blame themselves. There’s a lot to sigh about here, … More Backcountry (2015)
2/10 My hope was to tell you this was a fantastic movie, but I slept through the majority of it and felt like I didn’t miss much. Vin Diesel was not cut out for a role like this and despite trying to be a macho hero, he’s not actually given a story that fits what … More The Last Witch Hunter (2015)
