Movie Review: Chappie


This movie was extremely disappointing, way too long, boring and I could not wait for the agonizing 2 hours where I watched this movie to finally be over. When you hear that a movie is going to be shown on IMAX theaters you expect that there will be great special effects that would merit this distinction, but for this movie the special effects were very few and far between. The story at first was promising but after that the entire movie, especially the story went downhill very fast. When it was all said and done, after looking at my watch about 10 times during this very bad movie, I was very happy that it finally ended.

Do yourself a favor and miss this movie.

Movie Review: The Lazarus Effect


Its hard to like any movie that is mostly about the depressing subject of death and this movie was no exception. The overall idea of this movie has been done before; bring back a person or animal that has been dead back to life but this movie does not address this idea different enough to be interested in seeing it or enthusiastic about sitting through two hours. The special effects were just OK, and the horror aspect was not that scary or interest either. I was also surprised that Olivia Wilde decided to take on this movie as it seemed well beneath the recent quality of movies she has made recently and during her career.

This is one ridiculous horror movie that is definitely worth missing.

Movie Review: Focus


The good things about this movie is the very beautiful Margo Robbie and some of the acting in parts. The bad thing about this move are some of the unbelievable ideas and story plots of some cons that make no sense and have no logic to them.  Its OK to try and fool the audience, but its another thing to create a nonsense idea that would never fly in reality. The trick is to do both, fool the audience and create believable ideas.  Despite this overall I do recommend this movie but mostly due to Margo Robbie.
