Mama (2013)
Actually quite good.
I haven't ventured out to a theater to see a movie in nearly 4 years due to various reasons (one mainly due to teenagers who are completely belligerent and the other main reason: people who cannot stay off their cell phones) but I decided to break my streak and see this one. For me and my husband, totally worth it. It brings many aspects of a ghost type story/horror genre together that is quite harmonious. I found as a parent that this story was made much more spooky and chilling than any other movies that involved children as a center of the story. Needless to say there were moments that gave me a laugh, but overall this movie is definitely a worth watch. I personally think that this was one of the best Guillermo Del Toro movies he has came out with.
Underworld: Awakening (2012)
I thought it was good....
Personally I thought it was reminiscent of the first. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two Underworld's and thought Rise of the Lycans was really redundant since they explained in the first movie how the conflict originally came about. (And then after two installments they decide to make a movie about it?) I really believe that it was a buffer to keep people interested in the series until Kate Beckinsale decided she was ready or willing to make another Underworld. So that being said, I found this movie to be really fun, action packed and despite the flaws people like to point out, I genuinely enjoyed the movie for the simple aspects of originality for the film series and let the movie entertain me for it's entirety, plus hoping for the possibility of another...
13 Hrs (2010)
Pretty Much
I thought this was a very interesting, engaging film. It is a bit predictable (and some of the special effects aren't the greatest), but I found it thoroughly entertaining and that is a lot of times difficult for me since I tend to over think and constantly critique the horror movies since they are my favorite genre of movies. The girl who plays Sarah is quite lovely and doesn't suck at all at acting, which is always nice since the heroine of most horror movies that aren't commercial seem to over act and annoy the crap out of me. Quite frankly the entire cast is quite nice considering the only guy I had ever heard of was the guy who played Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series. Besides this, dude who plays Doug (Joshua Bowman) is quite handsome, so he made it very easy to watch the movie. Basically I enjoyed this movie, and recommend it for at least a try.
