His Only Son (2023)
Inspiring!
This is a great depiction of the overwhelming faith Abraham had in The Lord. Very well filmed and directed. It moves slow in some sections but knowing the outcome and the backstory it's easy to stay attentive during it. The woman who played Sarah was Amazing!
It's scenery, especially the nighttime scenes are beautiful. I walked away thinking and wondering how hard it would be to have that faith in our God. Really strikes a chord as to how far we've falling as a society. I left trying to feel the pain he must have had and the reward afterwards. God is Good.
Looking forward to the follow up film about the story of Jacob.
A Quiet Place (2018)
Nothing New!
Can't understand why this flick is getting such great reviews? It's ok, but could of been a 22 minute episode of a The Twilight Zone. Ok acting but the premise gets old and so predictable...nothing new in horror. Please someone come up with a true scary flick!
Halloween (2007)
A Horror Classic ReVisited By a Disturbed Director...and it works!!
I first have to say that Carpenter's Halloween had me literally running home from the theater back in '79. It was one of those movies that just made me become the film buff, movie lover that I am today...and no I am not a horror only film nut. I love all genres.
Rob Zombie's obviously has his own "sick" style. 1,000 Corpses & Rejects are movies that I actually love, but I feel sick about the fact that I like them. They are demented, and not in the "fun" way that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was but...really demented! In Rejects I still can't understand how an actress like Priscilla "3's Company" Barnes would be anywhere near that film? But her and the other actors do their best to bring out his deranged vision.
Well Zombie's Halloween Remake I feel is an instant horror classic! The first half hour or so is so demented, dark, disturbing, and just shows an overall sick, scum-ridden family...that you can "almost" see why Myers is such a psycho. At one point I even felt sorry for him.
After Zombie sets up this deranged childhood life he basically goes right into Haddonfield John Carpenter style. The atmosphere, the music of course, the dialog, the scares..and above all the pace. It just keeps going. And actually has a few great scares! I really hope Rob Zombie continues his horror run and keeps up the "fun". Having so many of "his" actors in his films make them funny and almost drags you away from how sick they are (which I feel I need sometimes when watching). Bill Moseley is a nut-case, Sid Haig and Ken Foree rock, and what the hell Mrs Zombie is HOT.
Go see it!
Lifeguard (1976)
A Classic Beach Boy Movie
This film works as a nice little reality check for us "over-aged" surfers. We see Rick teased with getting a so called real job, and we see him doing what he loves to do....being at the beach. Nice direction for a 70's film and real nice character development. Ann Archer shows her acting skills and of course Sam Elliott steals the show.
