The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Chappie (2015)

Starring: Hugh Jackman, Sharlto Copley, Sigourney Weaver, Dev Patel
Director: Neill Blomkamp

Premise:
A robot built to control crime gets a new program which allows it to think and feel. Then it is captured by a gang and learns from the group.

My Take:
A movie that I liked far more than I anticipated. For some reason, I dont recall the movie trailer making it look too interesting. I was wrong. It has great special effects, solid cast, and good story holds it all together.

Alien Outpost (2014)

Starring: Adrian Paul, Brandon Auret, Rick Ravenello, Reilly McClendon
Director: Jabar Rasiaini

Premise:
In the future aliens have set up on Earth with military units trying to stop them. A group of soldiers tell their story to a documentary film crew.

My Take:
The movie has a decent plot but there is simply too much interview style segments and talking instead of action and aliens. It got rather boring.

Rating: Warning
