The Conjuring Movie Review

I personally was very excited to see this movie because it has been a long time since I can truly say I was scared. The Conjuring was fantastic. Not as gory as I had expected but honestly I was unsure of what to expect. James Wan did a great job. No crazy CGI, good old fashioned spooky suspense. What's even scarier is that this is based on a true story. A few parallels to the Exorcist. There was one shot in particular that looked exactly like the Exorcist except in the Exorcist there was a woman holding a candle or match in the attic and in the Conjuring its the father holding a match in the basement cellar. I'm not sure if you absolutely HAVE to watch this in the theater. It would be much more frightening if you watch it in your home with all the lights out. I would say however, if you are the type that hides in your friend's arm pit... watch this with a friend. This is a good one. I may watch it again without covering my ears (lol). Good job!! On a scale of 1 to 10... 8.5

World War Z Movie Review

World War Z is full of intense scenes. I found my heart beating faster than normal during the most thrilling scenes. A well thought out plot, this Zombie movie is one to see in the theater. There are a lot of "cheats" in this one but no more than the average. Brad Pitt is portrayed as truly the star of the movie, the hero that Zombies just can't get to. I will not give away the story but at least one of his family members should have died. On a scale of 1 to 10... 7.6


Pacific Rim Movie Review

Pacific Rim falls in with all the other "save the world" movies. A less than average story line but the creativity in detail pretty cool. It seemed like there was a lot of effort put into the visual effects and that's it but you should definitely see this in the theater. Your eyes will thank you for it. On a scale of 1 to 10... 7.5


Man of Steel Movie Review

Man of Steel is definitely a go see. More violent than the average "superman" movies. We must warn you though, there are a lot of back stories. Great special effects. Henry Cavill plays a pretty good Superman and you understand where Zod is coming from as he attempts to preserve his world and people. Do not wait for this movie to come out on DVD or Blu Ray; the theater experience is well worth the price of admission. On a scale from 1 to 10 we give this an 8.5 feel free to share your reviews below.
