The Martian (2015)

Will be misunderstood

[10/10 · 12 October 2015]

This movie is portraying what it would take for someone stuck on Mars to survive. The movie shows what would be needed to get the person back to earth and how the survivor would have to navigate the technology.

So when Matt Damon is acting all chill and joking around, for me it seemed like he was being ironic about the real chances of surviving. In the end, it would be pretty much impossible for a man left on Mars to survive. Period.

I also liked how they portrayed NASA as a good guy and bad guy at times. Matt Damon's performance is really good. Unlike some of Ridley Scott's recent movies, this one was a thrilling and satisfying one.

The Conjuring (2013)

Horror movie I've been waiting for!

[10/10 · 2 August 2013]

For reader's information I am not a big time horror fan. I have seen other horror films like the Paranormal Activity series, and some of the Amityville horror movies, and also some other movies like Insidious and the Poltergeist. I was not a fan of any of these movies because they either did not have enough suspense or showed too much of the apparitions. I went into this movie with some excitement because I've wanted to see a well done haunted house movie. Well 10 minutes into the movie I was given was I asked for and more. The movie was everything I hoped for: Spooky horror with a good underlying story. I was so engaged into this movie that I left the theater still thinking about it for the night, and trust me, this was one of the scariest films I've seen. This is not an original work, but it is the most well acted and filmed(cinematography) by far, and the best thing about it is how real it feels. The director Wan did a great job of not revealing too much about the apparitions. Just like every haunted house film, you will ask yourself, why don't they just leave? They give a good explanation with this. This is a movie you wish could go on and on.
