Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)
Godzilla: The Family Pet
Can we simply get a 2 hour monster vs monster epic without the family drama? Godzilla has all the potential to be a fantastic monster flick but it ruined. Why? Cause of humans ofcourse. In 2 hrs and 11 mins you will see 90% screen time given to characters you don't really care about, 9% on a Eleven from Stranger Things and 1% on Godzilla get his ass kicked. Hope someday they remake Godzilla in a pre-human timeline where he's not the king of monster but is learning to survive and battles his way to becoming the king of monsters.
The Nightingale (2018)
A POWERFUL PLAY
The Nightingale feels like a good blend of Robert Eggers "The VVitch" and "I Spit on Your Grave 1". Set in 1825 this is a brutal yet very real take on the forgotten stories of that era. It paces the story in way that you want it to be more brutal at the same time you think maybe not and boom!... it delivered. Now 70% through this film you get what you want but then it does something that feels like falling through the air "like you missed a step and stepped", you adjust to the shift in emotions and jog on to a sunny, wet finish line. You'll like it sure but deep down you just wanted a 18th century female John Wick style revenge flick end to end. 6/10
Porno (2019)
Big! Bloody! Brilliant!
Sometimes critics can be unrealistically cruel. It's like going on a blind date with a narcissist. They love non but themselves. Porno is definitely not a "4/10" flick. It has a great poster, plot, sound fx, hilarious cast, gore, suspense and some nonsense. You're introduced to five unlikely cinema employees who stumble upon a strange movie reel unleashing the horror within. Now, being just that Porno is make it worth your time with a brilliant yet funny cast, adding suspense over suspense until you think you know how it's going to end and then it add another crazy twist which I wish lasted longer but I guess they needed a bigger budget and better special effects team. Overall Porno is a funny gore filled classic horror that's no trouble watching. 7/10.
The Pool (2018)
BETTER THAN IT'S RATING
Looking at the poster and the rating of The Pool you might think, "hey this is just another one of those B grade human vs reptile survival flick". The Pool with it's limited budget is a slap to the face of big budget Hollywood studios. It took a very simple concept of a man stuck in a pool with a croc and added logical events that actually made you feel like, "yes something like that could happen if I was in this dudes place". In fact, to be honest I personally wouldn't survive half stuff he has been through. The Pool doesn't waste your time with pointless fillers, it simply cannonballs you into the core of its concept: Man vs Pool vs Croc. Hollywood is you're going to pump money into another survival horror flick then please consider funding a remake of this brilliant, underrated flick. Definitely worth watching and better than CRAWL.
