THE DESCENT (2005). Not as good as DOG SOLDIERS, but pretty satisfying just the same. Serious suspense and I just love women who kick mutant ass::love::. This is the unedited cut and a lot of grue, but not to the detriment of the story. ****

Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
6/10 Lot's of good clean fun. It's funny and tongue-in-cheek all the way through without breaking character. Character driven story, action and effects. More comic-booky than prior live action 'super hero' and Avenger films. One doesn't need to have seen prior Avenger films to enjoy it. Decent story that's just mildly entertaining (nothing wrong with that), not any serious or emotional themes going on. Found a fairly comfortable running length at 2h10m, though I would have cut another 10-15 mins. Quote:
I haven't really noticed more good kid actors. I think it's more a matter of script writers giving kids more character depth. Quote:

M.F.A (2017)
https://s26.postimg.org/4n6azv5u1/MFA-1.jpg A decent rape & revenge flick. Clint's daughter Francesa Eastwood gave a solid performance on the lead. >>: B The Hitman's Bodyguard (2017) https://s26.postimg.org/9n3r7tbgp/THB.jpg >>: B |

Dave made a Maze (2017)
https://s26.postimg.org/gr36xvp6x/Dave_maze.jpg Out of frustrations, in a desperate attempt to prove himself, Dave builds a cardboard labyrinth over a weekend and ventures inside, only to get lost inside its twists and turns. After girlfriend Annie comes home from a work trip, she learns that he can't get out. News of Dave's predicament spreads and soon his friends enter his bizarre creation to try and save him. This whimsical fantasy kind of bizarre comedy comes with a pretty interesting idea but sadly falls kind of short in terms of substance at the end or the bite that needed to sustain itself as a feature length. But definitely it deserves kudos for it its pretty unique and creative efforts for presenting a weird & wonderful world made of cardboard. >>: B |

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)
https://s26.postimg.org/igzpm14qx/Valerian.jpg It still could have saved itself at the box office more or less with the same plot, just needed more bankable starts like Chris Pratt & Scarlett Johansson but more importantly couple of rewrites & slightly different & more edgy treatment required. Moreover, they could have save at least 20 odd minutes by removing that pointless & time wasting 'kidnap & rescue' segment where a giant-fat alien tribe kidnapped the heroin Sgt. Laureline (Cara Delevingne). Overall, not bad, had the potential to become a decent series but sad, they blew it away. >>: B- Mayhem (2017) https://s26.postimg.org/ejcfwmhxl/Mayhem.jpg It's similar to THE BELKO EXPERIMENT only in terms of both the films got the premise of an office building complex where chaos & violence breakthroughs but here a virus plays the part that makes stress hormone levels rise & stimulates extreme emotions without the realization of difference between right & wrong. And surely it worked at least as a better idea than somehow putting explosive chips in the skulls of co-workers who were ordered to kill each other by a mystery voice (Belko Experiment). Moreover MAYHEM utilized the corporate affairs & its environment with a way more convincing & better approach. Overall, a better executed, more entertaining & bloodier film than TBE. Glad to see Samara Weaving from Netflix's THE BABYSITTER back in here with another kick-ass role, looks like she's the breakthrough star of the genre this year. >>: B+ |
