Happy Death Day (2017)

I don't like horror or the prospect of horror in any movie but this one genuinely was a welcomed surprise. Happy Death Day is that movie you've heard of but you don't know what it's about and you go in to watch it with low expectations. But,guess what? It turned out really good.

Happy Death Day is about a college sorority girl who has to relive the day she got killed by a masked person and that day also happens to be her birthday and put it shortly,Happy Death Day uses the concept of the movie "Groundhog Day" but with more extreme extra miles and I have to give it to them,I'm impressed.

The movie starts of with Lory the main protagonist waking up in dorm room of Carter an awkward guy who she assumes she had sex with since she can't really remember what happened the night before because she was hung over. After a very awkward back and forth,she leaves his room and heads home to the sorority house. While she goes there,the movie shows how much of a "bitch" she is by showing her impolitely interact with people.

Basically she's a real jerk,she's pretty and funny but she's still a jerk who kind of looks like a mixture between Blake Lively and Melissa Benoit(to do those who've seen the film,what do you think?...also,carter kinda looks like Cole Sprouse).

That night,she heads off for a party and comes in contact in mysterious masked person and she keeps on going to the party and then she reencounters the person and gets brutally murdered and then she wakes up the same way she did that day,in Carter's room and she experiences the same things happen to her exactly the same way. Initially she thinks it's Deja Vu but then she gets killed again so she has to find away to you know,stop dying and also know who her killer is while trying to correct all her various mistakes.

That's all I will say about the film because not everybody has seen it and it's really good,it even has a shocking twist at the end. This movie on paper sounds very scary and depressing but it actually turned out to be very fun and refreshing. It's concept isn't exactly original but the way that it's executed is really new and the actors here are new(at least to me) and very good. Especially the people who play Lory and Carter so you should go check it out if you want;

•A straight forward story
•good characters
•a couple of jump scares
•good comedy
•And,a big twist at the end of it all
NB: something isn't explained here and it might be underwhelming for you if you were anticipating a mystical twist. I just wanted to say that before hand.

Happy Death Day is a good watch and a sign that I should have watched more movies in 2017. I'm off to watch Martin Scorsese's "Mother" and I'll be sure to post a review on that when am done. Go See Happy Death Day and you'll be entertained like I was!!!!.

DOOM PATROL

The second DC Universe Live Action show; Doom Patrol just premiered and I must say, it was a really interesting watch. Following the lives of the Doom Patrol, a team of very strange heroes who we first encounter during an episode of Titans, the show sheds more light on how they came to be the "freaks" that they are now through a brilliant narrator who ties into the episode and beautiful acting from every member of the cast. If you saw them in Titans, you might have been pissed off by the actor who played Chief there. I thought he was horrible and the show recast him with a much better and intense actor who carries each scene he's in. With just the first episode, I was very impressed by how funny, serious and emotional it was. Unlike the show before it, Doom Patrol managed to start off on a high note with so many possibilities, it actually manage to do the whole team dynamic better than the Titan show. I could actually feel the bond amongst each member ...

Army Of The Dead: A Crazy Roller Coaster!

Visionary director, Zack Snyder comes through with a new release following his long awaited director’s cut of 2017’s Justice League. This time (and thanks to Netflix), he has full creative control of the entire film. Army of the dead was shot, written and directed by Zack himself and is his return to horror, the same genre of his first feature film “Dawn of the Dead”. Army of the dead is an extremely ambitious film with the potential for multiple sequels and spinoffs besides the already announced ones. I’ll try my best to make this a spoiler free review although I make talk or hint about certain things that happen in the film. The film tells the story of a team of skilled men and women coming together to go to closed off zombie infested Las Vegas to retrieve millions of dollars from a vault before the US government nukes the entire place and its zombie residents. Each member of this team standout and feel like real people with personalities. There’s a lot...

BUMBLEBEE: A BREATH OF FRESH AIR

Bumblebee is the first ever live action prequel/reboot film that has been released from the transformers franchise and it is set during the 1980s. In all honesty,i'm not sure if this film is just a prequel or also a reboot because, by the end of the film you can see that this is definitely a happens before the first film with Shia Labeouf but, it also runs away from tying itself to the already established Transformers franchise by itself too seriously. The reason i think it might be a reboot is simply due to the fact that they redesigned the transformers to have their more simple classic design from the old school cartoons rather than the more "extra" design filled unnecessary level of detail. This film tries very much to be more human and rely more on emotional connection rather than being a grand cgi filled fest that could span the course of multiple two hour films. The plot is simple;in the face of being terminated, the Autobots must flee from Cyb...

KOE NO KATACHI: A REVIEW?

Koe no Katachi (A Silent Voice) is a 2016 Japanese [obviously] animated film written by Reiko Yoshida and directed by Naoko Yamada. The film is based on the manga of the same name, written by the great Yoshitoki Ōima. I just want to talk type about this beautiful anime; don't think of this as some sort of review. P.S.: Little spoilers here and there. It starts off with Ishida - who'd later be the main male character - trying to commit suicide. And may I say... the musical build-up to the point where he is to jump off the bridge... SUBARASHI! It's utterly gorgeous [for the lack of a befitting word]. It's not over done with sad sounds or large synths. It's almost inaudible, gentle; it's the kind of music that would play in the head of a sad or depressed person. And it is explained in detail - his dilemma. The movie's title makes sense because of Nishimiya. She's deaf. In middle school, she's a victim of bullying from her classmates in form of ignor...
