The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer (2003)
Quite the letdown
Unfortunately, this movie wasn't up to par. They had so much information to go ahead and create the movie behind the infamous Rose Red mansion.
Admittedly, I was quite pleasantly surprised by the location and Sukeena being the same as the mini series. That's also the only part... why use different characters- but one? I wonder...
They used a couple of scenes from the original series, which was promising but let down on Posey not hanging himself in front of the kids. I mean, I get it, it's a lot darker, by then again, it's a horror... why change from something that was outed in such detail in the series?! No rose & hat throw, bummer.
Also, the movie felt very shallow. Things that could've gone in much deeper detail.
- The honeymoon felt rushed.
- Sukeena's punishment was not even mentioned.
- The extensions on the house were hardly named; except for the tower, that was, somehow, magically half-way done within what.... a day??
- No scary ghost stuff.
- No tension-building
- No horror, just some sawdust and whispers.
I would've loved more back story on John and Posey- more than just a threat because Posey was gay. Also, one important sentence was missing from the film: "Rose Red isn't finished until you say it is."
The movie tried hard, but man... even with loads of background info, it fell short and definitely did not age well.
Go watch Rose Red, instead!
12 Gifts of Christmas (2015)
What in the world is wrong with those family photos?!
Oh boohoohoo, I'm a clearly-not-struggling artist, switching from places that look more luxurious than an average well-paid family can afford, and I happen to bump into a handsome millionaire- who's generously paying me for gift ideas and is willing to help me achieve my biggest dream: getting my work out, oh, it's so unfair... he only thinks about himself, boohoohoo.
Honestly, I don't want to bash this movie but ... man.. this was difficult to sit through- as so many other Christmas movies that follow the exact same cringy story arc.
I get it, it's supposed to be a "feel good" movie but when I keep rolling my eyes this often, it's just not good... but hey! Maybe it's me. Maybe I'm jealous to not have found my own perfect Christmas millionaire.
On a different note: can someone PLEASE tell me what in the world is wrong with those family photos?!!!
Into the Woods (2014)
Wow...
This movie is something, alright...
Interesting is definitely a word that comes to mind.
Big names, big budget, and still the cringe runs deep. Makes one wonder what the actors thought when they saw the end results...
Wonder (2017)
Loved every part of this!
Can't help but feel the nod to August Rush's "all you have to do, is listen", vs "all you have to do, is look", at the end of the movie. Loved it!! Wonderful movie! 🖤
Beyond: Two Souls (2013)
Amazing!
I usually don't do reviews but this one definitely worthy of one. I'm blown away by the graphics, the gameplay and most of all: the storyline. I love everything about this game. Surely, it has it flaws and buggy moments but that's all forgiven in this unforgettable adventure! 10/10!!! 🖤
