Fantastic love,life,story !
I gave this movie a ten for the simple fact if a movie I go into knowing nothing about and not having high expectations leaves me with a tear in my eye at the end then it deserves the rating. It was filmed beautifully, the characters were amazing the relationship between anton and Bérénice I found mesmerizing, the fact that she at the time of the films release was 35 and anton 25 a ten year age difference and on screen you could see she was slightly more of an older woman than him with his young boyish looks anyway but I think it made the film for me a 30 year old exciting. I mean who wouldn't want a beautiful woman like that loving you in such a way as was shown in this great movie. I loved the ending I loved the last 10 min build up to the ending. I love it was based around this boys dream of being a writer I loved the Concept shown near the end when he is reading the letter it shows you Bérénice noticing anton first in the steet really changes the way I saw the movie as the beginning you are led to believe that he spotted her first when that wasn't the case and I think this was shown in a brilliant way at the very right time in the movie, she had already seen him and was daydreaming about him just before he saw her and daydreamed about her before approaching and I just that a touching moment in this movie . The dad of anton played his part great as did the wife but he added something a tad more special to his role for me . It had touches of the movie before sunrise in their for me not the same movie but certain elements. Anyway if you like a different kind of basic love story and one with fantastic acting on both the main characters parts then this is an absolute must . Rip to the late anton yelchin.
The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)
Absolutely brilliant
Where to begin ..... this is a fantastic horror movie , Emile has done some not great films lately but this one is great the acting between the son and dad was great the suspense was incredible. I ant give it a 10 because a movie has to be amazing in every part where as this is a great film it did show some parts that didn't feel right like when the dad gets locked in the bathroom and attacked they never really mention it to each other and with it being the start of bad stuff to happen you'd have thought they would have been a bit more like wtf just happened. I really didn't like the part with the girlfriend dying as it was slightly unrealistic as to how she got down their in the first place and when that happened I knew whatever happened in the end that the characters wouldn't go on to lead the lives they had planned so I knew from that moment that dad and son probably wouldn't survive that being said I was shocked when Emiles character died at the end as it seemed his dad may have saved him.but I was thinking how is this guy going to explain it to the police they would think that he killed both his dad and girlfriend and end up in a loony asylum. So killing them all was probably best for the movie overall as it is just a horror movie and I guess that's the point in the end to not feel happy at the end to leave you still creep ed out you don't want to sleep. The film reminded me of when I first watched 1408 with john cusack it had the same vibe to me a lot of the way through in some ways I thought at the end that it may seem nothing had happened and was thinking maybe they would all be OK in the end or think they were going to be OK . Anyway I think people will love this movie it moves at a fast enough pace for me it is all set in the one building really with mainly just 2 actors and a corpse so to hold my interest like it did is a job well done . Has the creep factor and the scare factor.
The Monster (2016)
Promising beginning but went downhill
Well I thought the movie started out well and I thought the young girls acting was really good the story between mum and daughter felt real and enjoyed the scenes between them as heartbreaking some were. I was enjoying the move quite a lot until the middle where the exciting parts should have been happening for me it just went downhill and fast as soon as the monster is revealed and things start to happen it just went a bit silly and really unrealistic. The car guy under the car for ages doing not a lot and the mum waiting in the car for he daughter and not wandering what was taking so long or even bother to try look out of the window whilst she had a wander into the entrance of the woods was unbelievable especially since the child was terrified to even get out the car in the beginning I found it hard to believe when would then go walk to the entrance of the woods after everything that was going on and in the pouring rain and to say sorry to the wolf that they hit with the car was just painful to watch. When they started to get away in the ambulance I was hoping they would escape but out of no where the monsters knocks into the ambulance causing a crash . The fact the mum decided to sacrifice herself if f that's what you call it to save the girl she told her to run when she distracted the monster I was thinking where the hell will she run to on a highway with no cars no people and probably a long stretch of road to nowhere and the girl says she wasn't going to run anyway so she basically died for no reason. The girl lighting a lighter and spraying a tin of flammable spray at the monster igniting it it to a huge ball of fire was the very final straw for me. It's disappointing when a film starts out OK and fairly promising only to then realize you wasted your time watching it me then ten mins having to write this review on how terrible it got . I did give it 5 stars however based on the girls performance I thought in parts was very good and the fact it started out well for me I probably have over rated it but some of the shots of the highway and the woods in the rain were quite nice and set the scary atmosphere of being in the middle of nowhere and vulnerable was believable.
Beyond the Gates (2016)
Was hoping for more
The film for me was really slow I was hoping for a horror type jumanji type board game and I just found the acting and story really lame. Halfway through I just stopped watching although it was on in the background. It maybe worth a watch for some But prepare for disappointment. The fist part starts out quite promising I love the old VHS stores and tenses me of being a kid myself, the creepy keyboard 80s style music was good and the images on google for the movie have a definite 80s vibe and i think that's what got me excited. With the lady from Heroes in the movie I expected it to be quite good with her being from a top show but found her to be really bland and boring . Could have been a good movie as the idea of a horror board game is one that excites me however the writers didn't do it justice nor did the actors in my opinion .
