Army of the Dead
With Las Vegas infected by zombies, billionaire casino owner Bly Tanaka approaches mercenary Scott Ward about a heist to recover $200 million from his casino vault before the military destroys Vegas with a tactical nuclear strike. Director Zack Snyder seems to have copied elements of Aliens and Oceans 11 for this ultra violent action/horror movie. I liked this movie because it was mindless fun. The only thing I did not like was the duration of it which was too long. The performances from the cast aren't too great with Dave Bautista barely watchable. One character is even a rip-off of Vasquez from Aliens but you'll see other similarities to that movie as well. This is a big visual extravaganza and all the zombies look horrifying and their make-up is terrifying as hell. Unfortunately the storytelling is outdated and I'm sure Zack Snyder could have created a far more interesting plot. Anyway, on the whole if you're into zombie movies this is watchable enough but don't expect anything less than something you've seen before.

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It
It's 1981. The Warrens are participating in the exorcism of a boy named David Glatzel. It leads to the case of Arne Johnson who murders his landlord with the Warrens convinced that a demonic possession made him do it. Another good sequel to the franchise. Like it's predecessors, this movie is also based on a true story which gives it authenticity in this unnatural genre of storytelling. The opening scene is extremely scary and that hooks you into the narrative for next 100 minutes. There are no boring moments at all, instead there are few cliches which comes with certain amount of interesting backdrop. The two main leads are as reliable as ever with their performances. All in all, this movie remains faithful to its franchise values and continues haunting the viewers with the same impact.

Widows
When four women are widowed all in one night their lives were inexorably altered. If it wasn't bad enough with no husbands and little to no means to support themselves, they find out that the drug dealer their husbands had stolen from wants his money back. What a great movie by director Steve McQueen. One way to describe the story in the movie is to say it's the tale of ordinary women becoming sophisticated gangsters, taking over the profession and learning the skills of robbery mastered by their husbands. It's hard to tell what kind of movie this is supposed to be: it's not a light comedy or a heist movie although it certainly flirts with both genres at various moments. The action elements are there but they are not terribly spectacular or very inventive. The focus seems to have been more on the psychology of the characters faced not only with the truth about the way their husbands made for a good living, but also obliged to replace them in crime. Fine acting by Viola Davis, Michelle Rodriguez, and Elizabeth Debicki who make up the main trio in the story. Robert Duvall, Liam Neeson and Colin Farrell contribute with their talents in supporting roles. In the end, this is a solid movie that should interest most people who enjoy this kind of story.

A woman watches her husband and young daughter murdered on the orders of a drug lord. She swears revenge and vows to take them all out. This is a highly entertaining action movie of revenge. The plot is the traditional story of injustice and vengeance with a top performance by Jennifer Garner as the vigilante Riley North. A woman who has no choice but to take matters into her own hands after the legal system fails her due to corrupt law officials and police officers. The story is predictable but the action sequences are fantastic with bloody, brutal, sometimes gory, violence. If a 'one-person army' popcorn movie is what your after, then you can't go wrong with this one.

Crazy Rich Asians
It's difficult to describe just how bad this movie is. Imagine 100 minutes of scene after scene containing obscene displays of wealth by obnoxious, pretentious, self-centered, condescending people who have complete disregard and utter contempt for anyone who's less than a billionaire. The kind of vain-glorious people you'd never want to spend a moment around. It's been labelled as a rom-com but there isn't any comedy at all in it. It's the type of movie that makes you cringe throughout. The plot is non-existent. The cast are all awful...well Michelle Yeoh might be OK but everybody else is crap. This shite definitely goes into my list of one of the worst movies ever.

The Beast
Two detectives Han-So and Mintae are trying hard and soul to catch the killer of a young schoolgirl. While solving the case, Han-so takes the help of his underworld connection. After that things started to turn ugly when his underworld informant kills a person. The informant starts threating him and asks him to cover the case for her. Mintae on the other hand starts thinking something really fishy is going on with Han-So. This great Korean movie follows two detectives' rivalry and their extreme competition of proving oneself better than the other. There are many twists and turns in this film. The first half is suspenseful and intriguing, but ultimately it all becomes a bit too contrived and convoluted and quite unbelievable as it goes on. Still, I really liked it especially the wonderful performance by Sung-min Lee. Director Jung-Ho Lee creates genuinely creepy and shocking sequences that ramp up the tension alongside the power struggle between the two leads. In the end, this movie remains a gripping and grim tale of male ego, power dynamics and the risks people will take for control and respect.

A Quiet Place: Part II
Following the events at home, the Abbott family now face the terrors of the outside world. Forced to venture into the unknown, they realize the creatures that hunt by sound are not the only threats lurking beyond the sand path. A fantastic sequel. It begins by going back to when the aliens arrived on Earth and then it continues from Part One, only this time it takes place on the move rather than just being set mainly in one location. The best thing about this movie is the action and the numerous jump scares. More survivors are shown but they don't really move the plot at all. It has a bit of an odd ending in that it stops very abruptly but I guess that means there will yet be another sequel. The main cast all perform well. Sequels can be a bit of a disappointment but this one isn't. If you loved the first then you've got to check it out.

Calamity the Cow
Farmer Grant's children get him to buy a cow from another farmer. The children work hard to make the cow fit and healthy enough for the show ring but the cow is stolen one night. The kids try to discover who the thieves are? Just your usual bog standard CFF movie with a predictable storyline. The one thing that stands out in this movie is it has a young teenage Phil Collins as one of the kids but as he was apparently a bit of a dick on set he is written out of the story for 3/4 of it until he comes back for the climax. The humour is dated and not very funny although small kids would find it amusing I imagine. A passable enough movie that wastes an hour of your time.

Copshop (2021)
On the run from a lethal assassin, a wily con artist devises a scheme to hide out inside a small-town police station-but when the hitman turns up at the precinct, an unsuspecting rookie cop finds herself caught in the crosshairs. This movie which reminds the viewer of Assault on Precinct 13 is decent but uneven. It feels like something Quentin Tarantino and John Carpenter would combine forces on. The weak plot is intertwined between violent shootouts and feisty one-liners. It's a bit slow going at the start but it gets a good pace about half way through. Good acting from the cast with Toby Huss stealing every scene he's in. So in the end, it's worth a watch for some enjoyable set pieces.

Last Night in Soho
A young woman Ellie learns she's been accepted at the London College of Fashion, and off she goes to London. She ends up renting a room on the top floor of an old house owned by an old lady. With stars in her eyes, Ellie falls asleep and when she wakes up, she's back in the Swinging 60's with the new James Bond movie Thunderball playing in the cinema. Is she dreaming? Or has she been transported back in time? This genre offering from director Edgar Wright is a love letter to numerous horror movies of the 60's. On a merely visual level, the movie is a mind-bending odyssey through two women's lives in two starkly different time periods, drenched in neon lights. The cinematography is stunning, and there are numerous impressive optical effects. The performances here are uniformly strong, with Thomasin McKenzie leading as the quiet, nostalgic Ellie, and Anya Taylor-Joy playing the tragic swinging 60's counterpart. British veterans Terence Stamp and the late Diana Rigg have integral supporting roles here and are both effective in their parts. There are two unexpected plot twists during the final third of the movie. Overall, this is a fantastic psychological horror effort that, despite some repetitiousness in the middle, still stands up as a stylish movie that sticks to the terms of its vision for better or for worse. Give it a go.

Fear Street Part One: 1994
It's 1994 in Shadyside, Ohio. A masked killer attacks a mall after closing time. It's the latest in a series of regular folks turning into serial killers dating back to 1666 with a witch killing. A group of teenagers get entangled in the town's curse. Feeling like a brisk combination of Stranger Things and Scream, this is the first part of a horror trilogy. I enjoyed the movie for what it was. I found it entertaining from beginning to end. It isn't scary per se, but it is very tense to watch and I often found myself on the edge of my seat. All the actors do their best, but many of the characters feel a bit generic and seem to serve no purpose other than to fill in the character gap needed in their story structure. There are quite a few cliches throughout, and I feel the story wasn't taken full advantage of, and instead skimmed through. All in all, a great start to a trilogy and I'm looking forward to the next installment which is set in a camp in 1978.

The Green Knight
This is a medieval tale told with fancy visuals and intriguing storytelling but for some people it will be too slow to hold their interest. It's based on the 14th century poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and someone who is interested in medieval tales can surely find it interesting but let me warn you that this 130 mins movie does not offer any pacy flow or exciting battles. When it comes to fantasy stories, people expect some fun, engaging narrative and adventurous entertainment along with eye-pleasing visuals and The Green Knight provides nothing expect for beautiful visuals. On saying that, the performance of Dev Patel as Gawain is fantastic. One of the main reason why people should watch this movie. The supporting cast are also great. In the end, The Green Knight is watchable and good but many viewers will be put off by the slow storyline.

Black Widow
While being pursued after the events of Civil War, Natasha Romanoff finds herself embroiled in a plot against the Red Room Widow programme from which she defected to SHIELD. This involves her getting re-entangled with the sleeper cell "family" with whom she spent her childhood in rural Ohio. This is a pretty good superhero tale that gives Scarlett Johansson her own movie that gives some backstory to her character. Marvel movies are renowned for their great action sequences and this one is no different. The cast ensemble is also good. Scarlett Johanson is cool but Florence Pugh stole the spotlight playing her little sister. The movie does slow down a bit in the middle but thankfully picks up again for the exciting climax. I didn't think the main villain Dreykov played by Ray Winstone was that good. It was bizarre to see Romanoff watching the Bond movie Moonraker on her TV! Overall another solid MCU effort and I hope that Florence Pugh's character returns in a future movie.

Old
A group of tourists that are dropped off by their hotel shuttle at a "private beach". Shortly after arriving at the beach they realise they can't leave while more and more people keep dying or getting killed. Over very short amounts of time everyone on the beach rapidly ages. They try to uncover a way off the beach and why this is happening. This is the latest mystery thriller movie by M. Night Shyamalan. The premise of the movie with its intriguing story is quite promising and will keep you watching until the very end. This movie doesn't leave any questions unanswered. The atmosphere is tense and gripping. The acting performances is at times wooden from some of the cast. At the end of the day, Old is worthy of being watched once but it's overall an average movie that will soon be forgotten.

Zack Snyder
I wasn't too impressed by the 2017 version of this movie which was directed by Joss Whedon. It was average at best. Now the original director Zack Snyder completes the movie in the vision he wanted it to be and to be honest it is so much better. It's not a masterpiece and yes, it goes on for way too long at 4hrs but I liked it. The story is separated into titled chapters and the plot is more involving and in-depth (something that didn't really happen in Whedon's version). It is also now a more character orientated tale. The action sequences in this iteration of Justice League also feel far more fleshed out and eye-catching. Whilst the running time will test the patience of a lot of viewers, I feel this version of Justice League rights the wrongs of the previous cut. It may not be a classic movie but its an enjoyable and old-school like epic filled with lots of goodness.
