https://scontent.ford1-1.fna.fbcdn.n...b4&oe=589E7D37 I kept passing on this, didn't realize it was an Artsploitation release. It was pretty good. |

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016) Lots of issues with the acting and writing, but I kinda enjoyed it. The characters made really poor decisions, but the movie was entertaining. I liked the action, humor and story. Eva Green stole the show. |
ARQ
An inventor, his girlfriend and 4 home invaders stuck in a three hour time loop with ever increasing recollections of the previous time loops and the decisions they had previously made. More than a little of Live Die Repeat here but its definitely interesting to have several characters all remembering different scenarios as they try to find their own way out of the time loop alive. Set almost entirely in a small house, its dark and claustrophobic, decent enough performances and, at just 88 minutes, it doesn't outstay its welcome. Worth a viewing. |

Xmen Apocalypse (2016)
8/10 " After the re-emergence of the world's first mutant, world-destroyer Apocalypse, the X-Men must unite to defeat his extinction level plan." After hearing a lot of bad reviews, I wasn't expecting much, but I really liked it. It's a film series, so if one hasn't seen the previous films, they will surely miss the nuances of the character performances, as well as the overall story. Like many superhero films, it's an action-adventure full of moral decisions, and full of social-spiritual-political symbolisms -- something director "we shouldn't have to" Singer does very well. I liked that the film made super-villain Apocalypse rather low-key, human and even personable, as opposed to some unrelatable bombastic megalomaniac thing. |
