Prey (2022)
Missed Opportunity
I loved the idea of Predator in this setting against this protagonist, but when it gets down the survival slash battle, there are too many lucky swings and escapes to hold any real tension nor make our hero seem genuinely tough. Some cool gadgets though.
Cold November (2017)
Cute Story of Change, Loss And Survival
I really enjoyed this bittersweet drama intermixing a child's coming of age, mourning, resiliency and imagination. There is something very satisfying about how this kid grows up and its a shame nowadays more lives don't develop this way.
Chapter 27 (2007)
Dark Journey Inside A Manic Depressive Mind
Mark David Chapman had very little self worth or reason to live in his mind. After traveling the world and ending up in a paradise (Hawaii), he experiences joy only in small rushes, and can only remark on a short period of meaningful moments in his life, when he helped Vietnamese children. Now he's grabbing at old obsessions, becoming Holden Caulfield, out to kill the most famous "phony" that he knows because his existence has to change drastically in some way. As for the film, I feel it succeeds in what it tries to do, make you feel anxious, awkward, lonely and somewhat sick to the stomach as Chapman certainly was. I feel it's helpful to relive sad stories once in a while and to grieve for your own losses in those moments of reflection. That's how I felt when I watched this and I ended up revisiting Lennon's great solo work, tearing up and telling myself, his peaceful, loving messages must live on some way in my life.
Fear, Inc. (2016)
Bad Acting Let Down
As a big fan of the genre, it doesn't take much for me to watch a horror/thriller if given a few positive reviews, but within the first few minutes, I deemed that the main character was that of another poorly played juvenile trapped inside a late twenty-something's body, this time with a hipster look, slamming beers every 10 seconds while giving us no reason to root him on through a survival horror situation. You're basically looking at a slightly larger, more intelligent yet less funny Pauly Shore unafraid of anything for his brain is apparently fried and full of cliché. As the story attempts to create suspense, the film becomes more and more predictable, desperately trying to sell scares when your girlfriend has fell asleep half way through. Sorry to be so down on this film, but one of the actors even sites the movie that it so uselessly rips off, The Game with Michael Douglas. Skip this one unless you are a huge fan of modern day B movie failures.
