The Witch (2016)

AKA: VVitch: A New England Folk Tale

Starring: Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Ineson, Kate Dickie
Director: Robert Eggers


Premise:
Set in early 1600's, a man moves his family to the edge of a great forest to start a new life. Soon after getting settled, their newborn son disappears. The eldest daughter jokes about her being a witch and delivering the baby to Satan. As things get stranger with each passing day and tensions rise and it is unclear to the rest of the family if the daughter is the witch behind the misfortunes or an actual witch.

My Take:
A slow burning tale where nothing is quite as it seems the more the movie progresses.

Rating: So Good

Watched: Netflix DVD

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.

Rating: In the middle

The Twilight People (1972)

Starring: John Ashley, Pam Grier,
Director: Eddie Romero


Premise:
A scientist tries to make a new race of human-animal hybrids

My Take:
A cheap take on "Island of Dr, Moreau". It's not a very good movie. At least one can see Pam Grier as a panther woman.

Rating: Warning

River Monsters, Season 8 (2016)

Starring: Jeremy Wade

Premise:

Strange Colors of Your Body's Tears (2013)

Starring: Klaus, Tange, Ursula Bedena
Director: Helene Cattet, Bruno Forzani


Premise:
A man comes home to find his wife missing. As he attempts to find out what happen, he goes farther into a weird world of sexual desires.

My Take:
A feast for the visual and auditory senses. It can be challenging at times, and confusing, but the creative duo pulls off another modern giallo

Rating: So Good

Escape from Tomorrow (2013)

Starring: Roy Ambramsohn
Director: Randy Moore


Premise:
A family man starts to lose his grip on reality when visiting a popular theme park on vacation.

My Take:
This is one of the movies that is hard to watch yet it's hard to turn off. It was just weird enough to keep me captivated and annoyed me at the same time.

Game of Thrones, Season 6 (2016)

Starring: Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, Kit Harrington, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, Isaac Hempstead, Iwan Rehon, Natalie Dormer, Carice van Houten, Aidan Gillen, Alfie Allen, Liam Cunningham, Indira Varma, Rory McCann, Ian McShane, Jonathan Pryce


Premise:
Families throughout the seven kingdoms plot and scheme to being the one true ruler of the land.

My Take:
I must admit, this season stepped it up a notch. The final three episodes are as good as television gets with so many characters dying and new people in positions of power being named. The show seems to be coming down now to two major battles: The North vs the White Walkers and Daenerys taking on the Lassiters for the Iron Throne. Next season should be very interesting.

Rating: So Good

Anarchy Parlor (2015)

Starring: Robert LaSardo, Tiffany DeMarco, Sara Fabel
Director: Devon Downs, Kenny Gage


Premise:
College students traveling Lithuanian stumble upon a tattoo parlor where the owner is also into dark magic.

My Take:
A movie that could have been far more entertaining with a little script polish and characters that the view could actually have sympathy for.

Rating: Warning
