TMNT (2014). Not bad.

Conan, 2011. It was okay. Pretty standard sword and sorcery stuff.

I saw Fury. I had to watch For Your Eyes Only later that day to stave off the depression.

I didn't hate it but I wasn't really overwhelmed by it either; the movie's main appeal to me is Rose McGowan's hair and makeup, which I thought was just brilliant.

Finished I Frankenstein last night. It doesn't totally follow the original novel -What movies do that anyway heh!- and it's different for a Frankenstein movie, but it's okay. It's best to watch the movie with an open mind.

Annabelle. It was not scary at all. A total disapointment.

Saw Dumb and Dumber To. It was hilarious! So glad they made this sequel because I was upset that they allowed the prequel.

I saw this. I admire the visual arts, but, the songs had no life in it, it's Frozen boring...I was hoping for fun and lively songs, all the songs in the movie were redundant. I miss old Disney movies that had so many great songs. I guess, it's that I hold The Lion King as the standard and it's such a high standard.

Supergirl. My sisters and I watched this to death when we were kids; it's not as good as I remember, but it's quite charming. I always liked the way she crushes the rock for some reason, and Peter O'Toole's weird performance.

Yeah, it was at the theater, I was invited to an advanced screening of the movie. It doesn't come out till the 14th, here in the US, in November.

If you liked the first one, especially the unrated version, you'll like this one. The jokes are on-par with the unrated version of the first movie, the most offensive parts that were cut out for the theater because it was the 90s.

For Halloween, my wife and I watched the original Nightmare On Elm Street and the remake back-to-back. The original still holds up as a really good piece of work, standard mediocre 80s horror acting aside. The series got more "fun" and familiar over time, but only the first of the original series really succeeds at being a straight horror movie, aside from New Nightmare. Between the music and how it was shot, it did a great job at creating an atmosphere.

The remake actually is better than I remembered, but there are long stretches of exposition, a lot of talky parts for a horror movie. There are some good scenes, but on the whole it's pacing is a bit off. The stretch in the middle where they assume Krueger was really innocent makes no sense at all and really adds nothing to the familiar story other than a twist for the sake of one, a twist nobody in the audience could conceivably believe, anyway. That was dumb. A few spots just seemed like they wanted to show off the budget, and that always takes me out of a horror movie, but it wasn't a big deal. Like I said, it was better than I remembered, and I'm a little confused as to why the reviews it got were SO harsh. It's really not bad at all. One could argue it's an unnecessary film, but it exists, and as it is, it's Just Fine. I'm honestly surprised they never did a sequel to that one.

Nightcrawler - I loved it. Jake Gyllenhaal was great at being a creepy bastard, The cinematography is amazing, and it ma just be one of the most unsettling movies I've seen all year. 9/10.
