BLADE RUNNER 2049




ABSOLUTELY NO SPOILERS !!!!,but i will say that i think Blade Runner 2049 is one of the most satisfying sequels ever !!
There's no BS in the plot or the script,i wasnt diverted to another story thread or mislead.
I had questions and i would say 90% of them were answered.

Ryan Gosling as K a brooding "blade runner" for the LAPD.
Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard got to show off his emotional range,and hey come on it's Harrison Ford.
Jared Leto as Niander Wallace had just the right amount of genius superiority.

The actresses in the film:Ana de Armas as Joi,Sylvia Hoeks as Luv, Robin Wright as Lt. Joshi,Mackenzie Davis as Mariette and Carla Juri as Dr. Ana Stelline give incredibly beautiful,intense,and intimidating performances.

Director Denis Villeneuve is just a directing master at this point,and couple him with Cinematographer Roger Deakins who's work is just astounding,they both raise each other's games.

This is a movie that engulfed me with it's story,visuals and sound....and oh the sounds...music and a score provided by Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch
uplifted me from my cozy IMAX seat.

My only problems with the film i thought a character(s) would have more depth and i did start to feel the films 2 hour and 44 minute running time

If you are a fan of the first Blade Runner film,whatever version you watched i highly doubt you will walk out of the theatre disappointed

Sclae of 1-10 a 9

What We Do In The Shadows

Loved it. I've been meaning to watch this for a couple years now and I'm glad I finally saw it. Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi did a great job on making this movie hilarious and entertaining from start to finish. This movie is pretty much if The Real World substituted annoying young adults with awkward vampires, werewolves, and everything in between. Also Stu is the MVP of the movie, this wouldn't be nearly as enjoyable without him. Overall, if you love horror comedies like Shaun of the Dead, you must see this.
9.5/10

FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST: CONQUEROR OF SHAMBALLA
Joy scale = 9/10
Quality = 7/10​

A fascinating conclusion to the unusually well received show that made stuff up as it progresses cause the studio tired of waiting for more material to cover while the manga was released on monthly basis. Most of the time made up stuff and filler are either bad or mediocre, half-decent at best, the old show defeated that norm, and is to date considered one of the best anime series ever made, which I mostly agree with.

Oh yeah, the movie is an odd thing, the dad allows himself to be killed by one son to let the other go home, only for the returning one to come back to seal the gate and stop NAZIs from invading his home.

Away. 7/10. A nice, small character piece/crime story about a young woman (Juno Temple) with hiding out in a seaside town with her stolen drugs who strikes up an unlikely friendship with a suicidal widower (Timothy Spall) while her pimp/ex-boyfriend hunts her down.

The Return of Dracula (1958)

Dracula escapes to a small town in California and poses as the artist cousin of a widow and her family. While an imposing villain Francis Lederer lacks the charisma of his predecessor Lugosi or the menacing presence of Christopher Lee but is still likable in the role. Very much a product of its time it uses the cliches effectively for the most part but I think it's still missing the chilling atmosphere that would make it truly scary. I'm almost surprised they didn't go the more comedic route given the success of similar films and the ridiculousness of the premise. Still it's an impressive low budget effort that combines aspects of the classic Universal Monster era with 1950s Americana. The ending is actually quite good and for a moment it briefly switches from black-and-white to color to show one of the earliest depictions of a bloody stake through the heart.

House of Dracula (1945)

Interesting monster mashup and excellent casting with Lon Chaney Jr, John Carradine and Glenn Strange reprising their roles as the Wolf Man, Dracula and Frankenstein's monster respectively. At times Carradine gives one of the most sympathetic portrayals of Dracula on screen. Onslow Stevens gives a fantastically creepy performance in the later half of the film. Both Martha O'Driscoll and Poni Adams really helped to carry the movie between monster scenes. My only complaint is that I feel Glenn Strange was a bit underused. Other than that I think this is one of the more entertaining Universal Monster sequels.

Billy the Kid Versus Dracula (1966)

The premise is completely ridiculous but this schlocky weird western is definitely campy fun.

Jigoku (1960)

One of my top 10 favorite J-horror films the pacing is a little slow during the second act but the build up pays off big time. Its visual depiction of hell manages to be both beautifully stunning and horrifyingly grotesque as the main character traverses multiple levels of hell in order to comfort the crying soul of his unborn child. Some of the souls he encounters are despicable while others tragic and most of them characters from the first half of the movie. In a way it's sort of reminiscent of early films like Haxan and L'Inferno.

Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan (1959) aka The Ghost of Yotsuya

One of the scariest early ghost stories on film it's easy to see why this is highly influential on the genre. It's actually pretty satisfying watching the murderous ronin torment by the vengeful spirit of the wife he killed. There are some really creepy and cool looking visuals throughout plus it ends with an epic samurai duel.

Based on boxer's Vinny Pazienza. Good job by Miles Teller but the film loses steam.
