Zombies Zombies Zombies Strippers VS Zombies
Quarantine 2 Terminal

I did. It sucked.

No J/k, it didn’t suck. It just wasn’t as funny as I had expected. James Franco might have the accent right, but he was just way too good looking to be Wiseau, which was very distracting to me.

Didn’t get a lot of insight to who this alien person really is, but all in all it was decent. 7/10

Murder on the Orient Express

Let's see:

On the plus side

- The story was well told.

- I liked the way they caught the general atmosphere of the Christie universe, with a few modern tweeks.

- The cast delivered, though Depp was perhaps a bit too much for the Christie universe. No shame he was bumped off quite quickly. I particularly liked Dafoe and Ridley.

On the down side

- The chase scene (with Tubby McGoo of all people) was not necessary. Poirot relies on his wits, as shown with the bit with the cane. It's a detective, not a cop show.

- I personally did not think too much of the "emo Poirot". The strength of the character were the cool, the mistery and the inscrutable. Starting from there, the (former) girlfriend ex machina and what not felt a bit forced.

- The ending felt a bit rushed/forced/stupid. Sequel bait?

So all in all a good way to spend two hours, but I think there are better Poirot-films. Branagh did a good job, but David Suchet remains the Poirot par excellence.

Really good movie...documentary style horror.

Mortal Remains (2013)

Might give that a look-see.

3000 MILES FROM GRACELAND (2000). Really like Kurt Russell, but he can't save this sprawling mess of a film. Pass on it. *

Norm of the North

GIRL IN WOODS 2016

A young woman gets lost in the woods and struggles greatly with having no access to her medications for mental health.

I thought it was dreadful and didn't understand a thing.

That's cause you watched without taking your meds!!!!


Michael Clayton (2007) Netflix
9/10

George Cloney, a "fixer" with a lawfirm gets drawn into a harrowing situation while trying to help a lawyer friend who has gone off his meds while representing a giant corporation facing a classaction lawsuit. Well-made thriller.


The Big Short (2015) Netflix
8/10

"Four denizens in the world of high-finance predict the credit and housing bubble collapse of the mid-2000s, and decide to take on the big banks for their greed and lack of foresight." Pretty entertaining for research-drama piece on the 2008 housing bubble collapse. Excellent performances, especially Christian Bale and Steve Corell.

I can't wait to rent this at the vid store 1/8. Love this type of film!
