It’s hard to talk about Spider-Man 2 without a ton of spoilers. Which is why I’ve waited so long to talk about it. But it’s been over a month since the movie came out, so I have to assume that everyone who cares about this film has seen it already. So I’m going to talk about why this movie surpassed my already high expectations for this movie. With a ton of spoilers. After the cut.
Oculus: A Review and a Discussion (spoilers within)
So I watched Oculus the other day. The movie is less scary and more psychological. It’s a must-watch for any horror movie fan.
The movie is brilliantly written, well shot, and excellently acted. Shortly into the movie, I suspended my disbelief and “forgot” that I was seeing Amy Pond and Starbuck. And Karen Gillan’s American accent was so spot on that my cohort didn’t realize that she has a native Scottish accent.
Overall, 4 stars out of 5, good movie, strongly recommended. Now for some discussion with lots of spoilers, after the cut.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
I saw the new Captain America with some of my friends today. Here are my thoughts after the cut.
RoboCop: Original vs 2014 Remake
So I saw the RoboCop remake the other day. It was a solid action movie, and very enjoyable in its own right. And while it might not live up to the original, one could argue it’s very deserving of the RoboCop name. But just how does it compare to the original.
So I decided to write a quickie analysis comparing both movies’ plots. I tried to avoid putting plot details in the blog post, but like all things in the review world, if you’re prone to spoiler anxiety, you should avoid reading the post anyway. Plot analyses after the cut.
