Set in Tennessee in the 1930’s, a burly and aging hermit (Robert Duvall) harbours a terrible secret that he wishes to unload before he dies. So he figures he’ll buy his own funeral party and ask people to say what they think of him while he’s still there to hear it. That’s basically the premise, which in and of itself is not uninteresting. And apparently, it’s based on a true story.
The characters are developed under a veil of mystery, secrecy, and latent remorse, and the judgemental eye of good, law abiding village folk stands as a constant reminder of who’s good and who’s not.
We are practically on the edge of our seats waiting to find out what terrible thing this man of ill repute might have done to cause him to live as a recluse for 40 years. Then, back in town after the death of her husband, sweet looking ex-lover Sissy Spacek reveals that she may be the only person to know what romantic good actually lurks under Duvall’s gruff exterior.
That part is interesting. But the weave sheepishly unravels when the frightful deed is finally exposed at the “live funeral.” One reason it was disappointing is that too many innuendos were laid out to be picked up by the viewer throughout the film, that end up not having a part in the dénouement at all. Another is more insidious: The seemingly relentless need of many Hollywood films to propel Christian values of forgiveness and redemption as the only way out of moral conflict.
Here the underlying message seems not simply about dark secrets, remorse, and one’s own means of repentance, but rather about being righteous by way of a particular set of beliefs: First, don’t mess with another man’s wife, and second, you can burn in a self-made hell for 40 years, but you still have to ask Jesus for forgiveness. Well, this may not sit well with all audiences.
Beyond the religious demagogy, the film stands on the performances of its two protagonists played by Robert Duvall, whose character is brilliantly conveyed through his eyes alone, and Bill Murray, who is precious as the gritty business-wise caretaker. The camera’s tight framing lets the viewer capture every nuance in the actor’s deliveries, as well as the feminine fragility of the charming Sissy Spacek.


This movie looks like it's going to be awesome! It's made by the same team that brought use The Matrix Trilogy, the Wachowski's! The fact that Channing Tatum is in it and Sean Bean are HUGE draws for me, let's hope Sean Bean's character doesn't die in this...(Sean Bean fans understand this already lol) It's in theaters July 18, 2014. What movies are you looking forward to this year?

I was 16 summers old when Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na hit the theatres. Far away from the cliched rom-com and yet close to new-age romance, this movie came as a breath of fresh air.
But today, I would love to talk about Meghna from the movie. Brilliantly played by Manjari Phadnis, Meghna was one of the characters that went unnoticed when the movie was released.
Most of us never felt empathetic to Meghna back then. We just kept rooting for the lead characters, Jai and Aditi hoping they would unite in the end.
Like most of the people, even I rooted for the lead pair. But, recently, when I stumbled upon the same movie on OTT after years, something strange happened.
Meghna, a character who was once a crush to me was more than that, a broken woman seeking for empathy and love.
She hailed from an affluent family where she had everything but empathy and love. When she realised her father was having an extramarital affair, she couldn’t handle it, just like her mother.
She knew her father was wrong. Yet, she was helpless. She loved her father. She loved her mother.
With no shoulder to lean on to, no ears to listen, she spent all the horrific nights alone in her room listening to her parents' abuse and quarrel.
In one scene, Meghna painfully tells Jai, ‘The two people who I loved the most...were miserable. All because of me.’
She conveniently takes the blame on herself though she wasn’t the reason in the first place. Since then, she practised to stay away from reality and started imagining that her parents were really happy and in love with each other.
She gradually found solace in that world of assumptions and she had no choice but to interpret things differently.
Be it overlooking the eccentric behaviour of her alcoholic father in front of Jai, her mother’s pain hidden behind a straight face or just explaining the most common things on the street in the most magical way possible.
Meghna called this the ‘What’s this’ game and she only played it with someone close to her.
Though Jai and his friends consider it as a funny game, for Meghna, it was beyond a game.
In fact, it was a game of hide and seek. She wanted to hide the painful reality and seek a different meaning by shutting her eyes and opening it up to a world where she never belonged.
The very first glimpse of Meghna in the movie is brilliantly captured by showing us how helpless she is when teased by two good for nothing pricks.
The metaphorical introduction quickly goes unnoticed when Jai rescues Meghna from those eve-teasers and thanks to Rahman’s BGM.
This was going to be one of the most important phases of Meghna’s life. She was desperately in need of an empathetic shoulder that could lead her to solace and her prayers were answered when Jai entered her life.
Soon after both of them have an instant liking towards each other, they go on a walk and this is where Jai gets introduced to Meghna’s imagination game.
Though he wishes to spend more time with Meghna, Jai doesn’t muster the courage to ask her out but gets delighted at the very next moment when Meghna opens up by asking if he could join her for a movie tomorrow.
Just when things seem fine, Aditi gets engaged with Sushant making Jai more jealous.
Though he tries not to carry that look, things turn worse when he watches Sushant and Aditi sharing a kiss.
Throughout the movie, Jai is known to be a modern-day independent Gandhian, a feminist and a product of great parenting.
However, only when it comes to Meghna, he’s not the same Jai. He’s a different one. In fact, self-centred.
When Meghna tries to cheer him up, the all pious, the Gandhian, the non-violent Jai chides her for ignoring the reality and blames her for neglecting the friction between her parents.
Jai never loved Meghna. Even when she breaks down due to his harsh behaviour, he gives her an apathetic hug.
All he wanted was to bring her out from the world she imagined, where she assumed her parents were in love.
Had Jai been in love with Meghna, he would have tried his best to transform her life.
While Meghna is not ready to open her eyes to face the reality, Jai on the other hand tries his best to open it, thus causing Meghna more grief.
But, the most heartbreaking scene in the movie is when Jai breaks up with Meghna, leaving her alone, stealing her hope and happiness. Because Jai never loved her. He loved Aditi and it was Meghna who fell prey to his ego.
Soon after the breakup, Meghna bids him adieu with a kiss and a smile that’s perhaps more painful than tears.
Never have I felt so bad for a character and today, wherever Meghna is, I’m sure, she would be blessed with a life that’s full of happiness. Because, as a stronger woman who has gone through ups and downs, she deserved it.

Nayla Al Khaja has had quite an impressive career, with her films being screened at more than 42 film festivals worldwide. Nayla is passionate about sharing deep and emotional stories through her work and has been widely recognised for her honest and open approach to producing. This year, Nayla will achieve one of her biggest goals, producing her own feature film. Titled “Three,” the film will depict a true story about the struggles of a child and his family.
Having run a production company in the UAE for over 15 years, Nayla has a 360-degree perspective on requirements to deliver a successful production in addition to an appreciation for both the creative and fiscal, and she plans to use all this experience to make the best possible success of her upcoming film. Ahead of the press launch for “Three” in Dubai, we met Nayla to find out what to expect.
We know you are working on an exciting project, “Three” – tell us about this film, what it’s about, and what it means to you.
Three is my debut feature film, a lifelong dream. It was challenging to make this project happen. I was initially ready to go ahead in 2019, but then the pandemic hit, and everything paused for a year and a half, and then I had to kick-start it again. I didn’t raise enough funds to shoot the film, so I was stuck in a situation where if I didn’t raise the entire amount, I had to decide whether to return the money to the investors or try to make them wait longer until I find more investment. It was a challenging place to be in. Then a good friend of my husband’s suggested I shoot somewhere else in the world. My film was ninety percent indoors, so it didn’t have to be shot in the UAE; I could easily shoot somewhere cheaper. So I decided to go to Thailand. I started working with a location scout, and when the numbers started coming in, we were shocked by how far the budget could stretch in Thailand. I didn’t realise there would be such an incredible calibre of crew there. There are some incredibly talented people, and they film a lot of content there, so I was fortunate to work with a very experienced team who were used to working on Hollywood films.
What can you tell us about the story and genre of the movie?
It’s a film about mental health, a very relevant topic, but it’s also about exorcism in Islam. Looking at two schools of thought and the ideology of treating people through spiritual and religious healing, and also looking at it from a medical perspective. And this time, we decided to take our character on both routes and the clash, so things get quite controversial, and it’s an interesting journey. The character goes on a journey of self-confusion, and we also see the journey of his mother working through this. It’s based on a true story, and I wanted to really depict the emotional journey of this mother and her son, as it’s a very human story.
All of the exteriors were shot in the UAE, and the interiors in Bangkok. I’m returning to Thailand next week to finish the post- production, working on the sound design and music composition until I bring the film to its final stage. I have officially submitted it to the Toronto Film Festival, and I plan to send it to the Venice Film Festival and Sundance to see where my luck is! I also plan to send it to the Red Sea Film Festival in Saudi Arabia. It’s exciting to see what the reaction will be, it’s impossible to predict, but as a team, we did everything we could to mitigate the risk and ensure the film gets the best chance possible.
I worked alongside a very experienced producer and was in excellent hands. My husband also produced the film with me, and the people that really touched my heart were the investors because they believed in me. I’m particularly pleased about my female investor because she has never put money into a film before, but she does support women with getting education scholarships which is amazing. I owe both of my investors so much; they made my dream come true! The film will be ready in July, and hopefully, the minute it is released at a festival, we will start to get attention from buyers, etc.
And this movie is based on a short film that you already produced?
Yes, the film is based on my short film called “The Shadow”, which was bought by Netflix for worldwide release. It was around fifteen minutes long, and I wrote and produced it. My new film “Three” is based on the concept of “The Shadow.” I am happy to say that in the production of “The Shadow” we had one of the highest percentages of women working on set behind the scenes of any film production. It was almost forty per cent women, which was brilliant to watch. And even with “Three.,” we had a lot of women on set, which I’m very happy about.
How would you assess the development of the number of women in the film industry, and what still needs to be done?
Unfortunately, the numbers are still very bleak; we are at twelve per cent of women worldwide. Cinematographers have it the worst, with just three per cent women. It’s twelve per cent for female directors, so slightly more but not fantastic. What’s interesting, however, is that when it comes to producers, there are over thirty per cent female producers worldwide, which is better, but it still needs to increase. Today, studios especially are very male-orientated, and the bigger the money, the lesser the chances of women getting the role, and unfortunately, that is still the reality. Things are changing, but it will take time, remember, it only really started to change with the Me-Too movement, so we need quite a few more years to see a balance.
In the Middle East, there is around a fifty-fifty balance of male and female directors. This is quite surprising, but I think the reason is that we started much later in the game compared with other parts of the world. By then, there were already developments and awareness of the gender imbalance, as well as men and women starting around the same time in the Middle East, compared with the rest of the world where men have been working in the industry for decades before the women arrived.
Tell us about your upcoming movie BAAB.
“BAAB” is more of an arthouse than “Three”. It’s a story about the five stages of death in random order, and it’s about a sister and her twin and the story of grief. One of the sisters discovers a secret about the other who has passed away, and that’s when the mystery starts unravelling, and it’s quite exciting. I worked with two-time Oscar-winning composer A.R Rahman on this film as the primary composer, and I’m very proud to say that he is planning to use an all-female orchestra of over 40 musicians.
The subjects you cover in your films are quite deep, emotional topics – is this a pattern you like to follow with your works?
Yes, I do. I like to tell stories about coming of age, especially with young boys. I think that’s because I saw my brother go through trauma as a child, and I don’t think I ever got past that. So I feel like a lot of my stories cover topics such as divorce, dysfunctional families, and young children dealing with abandonment issues. I come from a divorced home, so there is a sense of that in my stories. It’s almost like therapy! But it’s also a great way to raise awareness.
The latest edition of the Cannes Film Festival has taken place in France, what do you think is the importance of events and festivals such as these for the industry?
They are extremely important because that is where all the big sales happen. They are still very robust and thriving. As a filmmaker, you can meet all the important people, including representatives from streaming platforms, theatrical distributors etc. It’s imperative to work with a sales agent that’s well prepared and make the most of these opportunities and if the film does well at the festival, then you’re set!
Toronto Film Festival, for example, gets 4,000 film submissions each year; from that 4,000, only seven per cent get selected. The chance of your film being showcased is tough. Sometimes your movie might not get chosen, but it’s not because your film isn’t good enough, it could depend on if there’s a political agenda happening in the world, or the theme of the festival, there are so many elements that play into it, including some good luck!
What is something you would still like to achieve in your career?
I would like to be one of the most successful film studios in the Middle East that can produce films for the rest of the world. I want to be able to produce two to three movies a year and I would also like to produce films for other directors.
What more would you like to see done in the film industry in the region?
I always say this, but I truly believe that the UAE desperately needs a film grant. We need treaties with other countries, and we absolutely need government incentives and grants invested in the film industry
because it’s impossible here. Finding investors is the only way to produce a film here, but it is so difficult. If you look at a Canadian film or an American film, for example, you will see that for a two-million- dollar film; they only have to raise a small part of the budget in cash; the rest is supplemented in a variety of different ways – cashback, incentive, government grants – we don’t have that option here, and that’s why my film was 100 per cent self-funded. It’s also very risky doing it that way, but I had no other choice. I don’t understand why nothing has happened yet; I don’t think they see the potential; I think it might take one or two films to break the mould for them to take notice.
What is the one film you love to watch over and over again?
That’s a tough one! I have a lot of films that I love, but I don’t know if I have one particular favourite. If I had to pick a genre, it’s easy – I love psychological thrillers, anything very dark! I also appreciate a lot of directors’ work, such as Roman Polanski’s, I like Wes Anderson, and in the Middle East, I like Nadine Labaki’s work.
Who would play you in a movie about yourself?
Helena Bonham Carter combined with Cate Blanchett! The seriousness of Cate mixed with the quirkiness of Helena.
Where do you like to travel, and where is a place that inspires you?
I like to travel to Cape Town; it’s beautiful, very relaxing, a place where I find a lot of stunning visuals, and I feel very at peace there. Interestingly, a place that inspires me is Bangkok; I like the energy there.
What else is in the pipeline for the coming year?
As you know, I’m finishing off “Three,” my first feature film, and I’m working on “BAAB”, my second feature film, and I’m already thinking about my third. Two of my sisters are screenplay writers, and they are helping me think of the third, and it might be a horror-comedy, a genre I’ve never explored before but I’m very interested in. My first two films are very heavy and emotional, so I think it would be nice to do something light and fun that will also show my range of directing. I’m also hoping that once I’m finished with the first film that, I get an offer to have an agent represent me in a wonderful management company in The United States.
What message would you send our readers and your fans about your upcoming movie?
I think this is the first time in the history of filmmaking where an Englishman is portrayed at the heart of an Emirati family. He has full access to this family, and you see him become wholly immersed and integrated with them. The mix of East and West is so beautifully done, showing the authenticity of the cultures and personalities. There is a coming together of religions and colliding ideologies, and it’s about how people from very different lives come together to try and help this child. What’s beautiful about the film is how the wonderful cast comes together, and we see Arabs portrayed in a genuine way. It will be different from anything else you’ve seen.


For each of the past six years, Daniel Dreifuss has returned to Columbia to see the family who hosted him as a Hickman High School foreign exchange student and to attend the True/False Film Fest.
But for this year's festival, which continues today in downtown Columbia, Dreifuss, a native Brazilian, traveled to town with a higher profile: He is a co-producer of the Chilean film "No," a historical drama playing at True/False.
"No" features a slightly fictionalized portrayal of a real and infectiously optimistic advertising campaign to persuade Chileans in 1988 to vote "no" on a referendum for another term for Gen. Augusto Pinochet, who had been in control of the country since 1973 after a bloody coup.
The film, which stars Gael García Bernal, took top honors last year at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated this year for an Oscar for best foreign language film.
Dreifuss became involved with the documentary in 2010 while he was operating an exchange in Los Angeles for Latin American filmmakers.
He had never been to Chile before shooting for "No" began, but he said he felt a connection because Brazil — like many other Latin American countries in the 20th century — had some experience with being governed by a military regime.
"It's a way to honor where I come from," Dreifuss said.
When Dreifuss came to Columbia in 1995 as an exchange student, he lived with former Columbia Public Schools teacher Sally Silvers.
Her parents had hosted Dreifuss' father in an exchange program years before.
Silvers said Dreifuss came to Columbia with the intent of staying just a few months but remained for a full year, graduating in 1996. She said Dreifuss did well in school, but she never realized she had "a little filmmaker running around" in her midst.
Although "No" has mostly been well-received by critics, it has received some flak from Chilean politicians and real "No" campaign operatives for focusing on the propaganda war against Pinochet and not lending time to other opposition forces working to remove him from power.
Yesterday, after a screening of the film at Jesse Auditorium, an audience member asked about that criticism.
Dreifuss responded that the film's production team did not set out to make a film that chronicled the entire plebiscite.
"As a filmmaker, it would have been a poor film, and my job is to make a good film," Dreifuss said.
In an interview, he said the film was meant to focus on the power of media in undermining authoritarian regimes.
That power, he said, was on full display in the Arab Spring uprisings throughout the Middle East and northern Africa.
The documentary also is intended to inspire people living under dictators now to look at the "No" campaign to ask themselves "what can I do to fight for my happiness," Dreifuss said.
Columbia resident Galina Malikin, who attended yesterday's screening, noted that films can have an impact just by conveying one piece of a larger story.
Malikin noted that director Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" film chronicled only a small but significant portion of President Abraham Lincoln's career.
"You don't need to embrace what is unembraceable," Malikin said.
"No" will be shown again at 7:45 p.m. today at the Missouri Theatre.


On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (“OHMSS”), the sixth Bond film, was released in London in December 1969. British critics were harsh, but the public loved it. It was the highest grossing release in the UK that year.
While filming You only Live Twice, Sean Connery decided the wild crowds of fans were too stressful, and that he would not play Bond again. The search began.
Producers Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman selected Timothy Dalton, but Dalton declined at that time, stating he was too young for the role. They finally settled on an obscure Australian actor, George Lazenby. However, Lazenby did not play well with Broccoli and Saltzman, and before OHMSS was finished, he decided this would be his last Bond film.
The movie opens in Portugal, where Bond saves the rich, beautiful Teresa (“Tracy”) Di Vicenzo from suicide, only to cover her bad debt in a casino a short time later. As one would expect, they eventually fall in love. That taken care of, Bond moves on to Switzerland to find out what in the name of evil Ernst Stavro Blofeld is doing in his mountaintop allergy clinic.
The clinic houses beautiful women test subjects so Bond gets to demonstrate his romantic superpowers on long-detained, and thus sex-starved, young ladies. Bond discovers what Blofeld intends and finally makes good use of the Alps by evading gun slinging skiers in a thrilling use of biathlon skills.
Fortunately, like all other Bond-chasing thug crews, they can’t hit the side of a mountain with their low-budget submachine guns. Also, true to Bond movie form, the gunshot sounds don’t match the weapons being used, which makes it all the more jovial for Holmes.
On any given day, Holmes and I agree on almost everything, but regarding OHMSS, our opinions diverge. I see this as a breakout Bond movie, and I love it. Always have, and I always will. Many Bond fans will join with me in naming it their favorite of the series.
The differences start at the beginning. Instead of the typical naked women shots (*yawn*), the opening is a tribute to the women of the Sean Connery movies, from Honey Ryder in her bikini with her knife, to Pussy Galore and Aki, all flowing through an hourglass like sand. It acknowledges the first phase of Bond and signals that, while things change with time, this is still a continuation of the series.
One change is that this is the first Bond movie filmed in a new technology called “stereo.” Quite fitting for Louis Armstrong’s beautiful rendition of We Have All the Time In the World. The first Bond theme song without the title of the movie incorporated into the lyrics.
The humor in this movie pervades the very plot, making it almost whimsical as compared to previous Bonds. You’ll find more one-liners, as well as a dose of subtle, straight-faced silliness that’s delivered so seriously it leaves you saying, “Did he just say that? . . . He did! Hahaha!”
But what makes this my favorite Bond movie is that it’s the first in which Bond has a three-dimensional personality. He loves; he jokes; he suffers uncertainty. He makes mistakes, apologizes, and grows. And he even breaks in the end. Just like we all do at times. He is a personality who could actually exist, as opposed to a Hollywood caricature of an invulnerable man. He illustrates a truth in writing. People relate most deeply to our characters’ flaws.
I give this movie a .357 magnum rating*, and I have enjoyed watching it repeatedly over the decades.
Lazenby delivered his lines reasonably well, though I did not always enjoy the lines he was given to deliver. An actor can only do so much with a script.
Diana Rigg of The Avengers fame played Tracy when Brigitte Bardot turned it down. While I could never stand to watch more than sixty seconds of The Avengers, Rigg did a great job with the lines she was handed in OHMSS. Her presence certainly improved the film.
Telly Savalas was excellent as the maniacal Ernst Stavro Blofeld. In particular, I noticed he took on a whole new way of moving and posturing than he normally employed in films, and he did it quite naturally.
Also, Ilse Steppat, Blofeld’s disgusting female bad girl assistant Irma Bunt, reeked of evil. You’ll likely want her dead as soon as she enters her first scene.
Most of the location filming was done in the Swiss Alps, and the scenery was refreshing. However, Nature took a vacation for the scheduled shooting, and, due to a lack of adequate snow, the location shots were delayed by seven weeks. Back then, there were no laptops so getting their teenagers to photoshop some ski scenes wasn’t an option.
This film contains one of the all-time worst Bond scenes. One which I am sure British SIS folks will never forgive.
Bond ends up tired and weaponless at a lovely Christmas ski ring celebration, where he sits down and abandons all hope. I suppose grabbing a cab and leaving would be too far beyond the talents of a super spy.
As he sits there, waiting to be found and tortured to death, Tracy skates up and greets him. Apparently, she’s grown tired of waiting for him in Portugal and manages to be at the same skating rink. Switzerland is such a small country, after all.
Bond looks up like a pathetic, wounded poodle and says, “There are men chasing me…” Tracey sits down next to him and offers to save his life, which, for reasons unknown to me, she manages to do.
Try not to throw up when you see James Bond throw himself on the courage of his girlfriend. You have been forewarned about this regrettable scene so hopefully I have prevented any damage to your carpet or furniture that it might have otherwise caused. No need to thank me. It’s all part of the Bayard & Holmes Preferred Gold Star Reader Service.
Bond and Tracy get married in Portugal, and after the obnoxious skating rink scene, I can’t be sure who does what to who on the honeymoon, and I’m glad we don’t find out.
One charming lapse in logic involves Bond almost getting caught raiding a safe when the office resident is out for lunch. MI-6 is not stupid. It does leave to chance what need not be left to chance. The elevator would have had an intentional malfunction until Bond was safely gone from the target’s office.
While this is not one of my favorite Bond movies, there are enough good performances, fun chase scenes, and gorgeous scenery to make it all worthwhile. I give On Her Majesty’s Secret (nursing) Service a .38 Special rating. Have fun with it.
Have you seen On Her Majesty’s Secret Service? Who is your favorite Bond at this point – Connery or Lazenby?
Piper Bayard—The Pale Writer of the Apocalypse
Holmes—Student of Sex, C4, and Hollow Points

TV Show Review | Agatha Christie’s Poirot
Agatha Christie’s Poirot (PN 1992.8 .D48 P65 2002 pt.1) is a thrilling PBS Mystery series that brings you into the action as the famous Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, solves murder mystery and crime. Set in the deco elegance of 1930s England, Poirot travels the world in search for the perfect crime to solve. This season includes episodes like the Veiled Lady, and The disappearance of Mr. Davenhiem.
This British mystery drama television series is an excellent murder mystery classic. It brings in humor and unpredictability as it leaves its audience always guessing at what will happen. I enjoyed the time period of the series and how they developed each of the characters. If you like Sherlock homes or the recent film, Murder on the Orient Express, I would definitely recommend this series.
Written by: Mallory Meng


I really love how everything just reminds me of the show, All the characters look exactly how they did back then. I could imagine them actually showing that expression after the newer version of sonic just came out of no where.
I have to say you're own specific Art Style is very original, and though you didn't make up the characters. Everyone can depict that this was truly you're original drawing, because of you're art style. It's very nice to depict certain stuff like that, even when the characters weren't originally coming from you.
I loved you're technique. it was very believing, and it looks quite a lot like the newer and older version of sonic. The colors blend in well with the characters as they always have. I think the shadows could've been a little more realistic looking. But I still love you're art design and coloring. The characters look as if they were just pulled out of the show. There are hardly any changes. What I thought would be nice if you pulled a specific seen from the older show and drew it in the back. That might be a certain scene, but I would've imagined him in the lab. You're design is very nice, I love it.
This actually makes me want to go watch the show all over again. I really love how the characters, look as they did back then. I can just imagine the conversation going on and the movements. It's really realistic, if you remembered the show. I honestly love the drawing. Maybe putting Tails in there would've been a great touch, although still very nice.
I really love this drawing, and honestly I'm tempted to go look at you're others. You have a lot of talent, that others can't achieve. Many others are more original and come up with their own ideas, but you brought back something from the past, that might've brought many good memories for people. That's something most people can''t do, and I remember watching this show so the picture makes me smile.

Daredevil is back, with a solid third season that builds from strength to strength.
The season is evenly paced for most of its thirteen episodes, benefitting strongly from a focus on the main storyline with minimal distractions.
Back to Roots
The season begins with both Fisk and Murdock recovering and going back to their roots. Fisk worms his way into manipulating the FBI, faking an attempt on his life to get transferred to a high security suite at the Washington Hotel, while Murdock dons his old black suit as he patrols Hell’s Kitchen again, slowly picking up the trail of Fisk’s machinations.
The antagonist of the season, Benjamin Poindexter, is portrayed well by Wilson Bethel. Although he isn’t exactly like his comic counterpart, Bullseye, yet, this season does a great job in charting his journey to murder and insanity.
Dex is a slowly destructing, ticking time bomb of a person who is deftly manipulated by Fisk into giving into his urges and eventually, acting as Fisk’s special enforcer.
His backstory is treated with just the right amount of care and screentime, showing his attempts to be a normal person before everything came crashing down on him. Fisk takes note of all the key moments in Ponfexter’s life, playing on them like an expert orchestra conductor to bring Dex into his thrall.
Supporting Cast is Well Utilized for the Main Narrative
The season also does well with it’s supporting cast, organically weaving Foggy Nelson and Karen Page into the plot without making it seem strained. Karen is relentless in her investigation into Fisk’s new plans, and in a standout scene mid-season, confronts him directly to provoke a reaction out of him. Foggy also gets a good amount of screentime as he deals with being Matt’s sounding board and his wistfulness for earlier times when the two helped the downtrodden through their law firm.
Sister Maggie, the nun who raised Murdock, also plays a pivotal role, helping Matt nurse his wounds, both mental and physical, as he resumes his vigilante activities. Another pivotal character, FBI agent Ray Nadeem, is also used effectively to explore the season’s moral quandaries.
Exploring Morality and Darker Impulses
This season is perhaps the darkest one yet, as Matt questions his methods and purpose, first in the aftermath of Defenders where he mourns losing Elektra again and upon discovering Fisk’s new schemes. A Catholic born and raised, Matt struggles with guilt and his relationship with God. He abandons his Matt Murdock identity for a while, recreating his original black costume with a nun’s black tunic and white coif.
It doesn’t help that Fisk is always a step ahead of Matt and the rest. D’Onofrio does a stellar job in reprising his portryal as the hulking, cerebral mastermind, expressing his festering rage and contempt for others in terrifying bursts.
The Fight Choreography Gets even Better, as Does the Narrative
Of course, Daredevil is also well known for its excellent fight sequences. The show’s new stunt coordinator, Gary Stearns (who worked on the Amazing Spider-Man films). There’s a stellar, one-take fight scene in episode four, where Matt has to fight his way through a prison. Matt’s several bouts with Poindexter are also thrilling and highly entertaining, as is the final three-way bout between Matt, Dex and Fisk.
The juxtaposition of Matt’s hand to hand skills with Dex’s supernatural affinity for turning anything into a deadly projectile makes for great television.
Another thing that makes these scenes work so well is that there are always important stakes hanging in the balance.
The new showrunner, Eric Oleson, understood the importance of bringing the show back to it’s roots. Many viewers felt fatigued by the Hand and unresolved side-plots in the second season, which started off strong with the Punisher’s introduction but soon got mired by the Hand plot. The third season adapts the classic “Born Again” storyline by Frank Miller to great effect.
The third season works well as a culmination of many themes and subplots that have been brimming since the first season.
The finale is highly rewarding, and leaves the main cast in a better place than where they started off at the beginning of the season.
Although the show still isn’t as soulful or thematically rich as Luke Cage, Daredevil’s third season is probably the mostly tightly scripted and polished season of any superhero show to date. The stellar cast, beautiful choreography and overall narrative direction made for a highly entertaining swath of binging.
With Luke Cage and Iron Fist being recently cancelled by Netflix, the rest of Netflix’s Marvel slate may have an uncertain future as well. So far, only Jessica Jones Season Three and the Punisher Season Two have been announced. There will probably be a season four for Daredevil, but if this were the final season, then it wouldn’t be a bad place to leave everything off for Daredevil.


Movie poster on the internet of the movie we watched
for our sexual harrassment training.
The next part of the day was a movie that we were required to watch for our SHARP training. It was being shown at the movie theatre on post. As soon as everyone from the various organizations were coming in, they all started searching for the sign in sheets to make sure they get credit. Nobody wants to be forced to do the training over. I'm not sure why they don't just scan everyone's ID cards when they come in like they do at the gym. It would be easy and foolproof. No more loosing sign in rosters or illegible handwriting.
The movie was called "The Invisible War" and was actually quite good. I was surprised the army was showing this movie, because it really paints the military in a bad light. The movie is a documentary of several victims of sexual assault in various branches of our military. It goes over how they were treated throughout the process and how it has affected their lives since. The movie was pretty powerful and really stresses how the military needs to change their attitudes towards sexual assault. It has a very long way to go. I definitely would not want either of my girls to even think about joining any branch of the military. I've seen too much and I don't think anything will change very soon.
After the movie they had a little question and answer period, which I was hoping would go pretty quickly. I drank my coffee through the entire show and by the time it ended I felt like my bladder was about to burst. Unfortunately I was sitting exactly right in the middle of the theatre, so there was no easy way to easily make my way out and to the bathroom. 50 minutes later…the question and discussion period was over…I quickly made my way and relieved myself as fast as possible.
I then had lunch at home and headed into my office. The afternoon was spent doing schoolwork, checking email and surfing the web…oh and the occasional game on my iPhone. I am thankful for the time to do my schoolwork, but most of the time I just feel like I'm getting paid to do nothing.


Roger Ebert is really hit or miss as a movie reviewer, but his TV show is reasonably entertaining. He has never made a secret of his liberal views, but I believe his review of the movie “Crash” has gone a little too far.
The movie (which, incidentally is very good), is about racial tensions in Los Angeles. Of course, you can’t have a movie about race in L.A. without a couple of good racist white cop beatdowns, and they are provided in the film. Matt Dillon plays the aforementioned racist officer, who pulls over a black couple and assaults the wife during the pat downs. Ryan Phillippe, who plays Dillon’s partner, of course finds this reprehensible and asks to be reassigned from partnering with Dillon.
Fair enough. But in Ebert’s review, he describes Phillippe’s character as a “liberal young cop,” which drew me to a couple of conclusions. First, there are no speeches about Social Security reform or drilling for oil in Alaska in the movie, so I can only assume Ebert thought the young cop was “liberal” because he objected to his racist partner’s activities. If this is the case, Ebert thinks the more accepting of racist behavior you are, the less “liberal” and more “conservative” you are.
I’m certain that during the movie, Ebert felt the same anger towards Dillon’s character that the young cop did. Since Ebert considers himself a liberal, he probably drew that connection without really thinking about what the flip side of that equation would mean.

The more you look, the more you’ll find that—just as no two live performances are ever the same—no two theaters are alike. Here are snapshots of just a few community theaters in small-town Texas.
Only a few minutes before the lights go on, Walter Workman prepared for the biggest role of his life.
The retired Houston trial lawyer sat alone backstage at the Hill Country Arts Foundation’s Point Theatre, going over his lines one last time. At age 77, Workman fretted whether his “fading memory” was up to the challenge of his role in “Leading Ladies,” a contemporary comedy set in the 1950s about down-on-their-luck English Shakespearean actors.
Workman needn’t have worried. During the nearly two-hour performance, he seemed to nail his lines. “I didn’t flub too many of them,” he joked afterward.
Workman was bitten by the theater bug only recently. He made his first entrance onto a community stage after his church choir leader coaxed him to audition for “Guys and Dolls” a few years earlier. She was directing the musical at the The Cailloux Theater in nearby Kerrville. “It was a large cast and she needed warm bodies, and I qualified,” Workman recalled.
He has since discovered that the theater helps sharpen his mind and is a good time to boot. “I don’t think I’m in line for leading-man roles, but any time they have a need for an old geezer, I’ll fit right in,” he said.
Founded in 1959 in what had once been skating rink, the Point Theatre remains one of the longest-running live community playhouses in Texas.
In addition to its cozy 120-seat indoor venue, it has an adjacent 720-seat outdoor theater along the banks of the Guadalupe River, the setting for its most-popular summer musical productions. Last summer, the theater staged a musical adaption of “Beauty and the Beast” (requiring royalties paid to Disney) with a cast and crew of about 75, said David Cockerell, executive director of the arts foundation.
With a 2010 season schedule of seven shows, plus other fine arts educational activities, Cockerell and his small staff face a typically busy year, working not only to lure audiences but volunteers, grants and corporate donors.
Dan Groat, amateur actor and real-life owner of a Kerville window-washing service aspired to be a professional actor as a youth in Michigan. That dream never became reality, but three days after moving to the Hill Country in 1996, he successfully auditioned for a role in the musical “1776” at The Point. Over these past 14 years, Groat has played dozens of parts on local stages. (He has performed his one-man show of “A Christmas Carol” so many times that he thinks he’ll retire it. “If you haven’t seen it by now you aren’t going to see it,” he said.)
“I clean windows to support my habit,” Groat said of acting. “Community theater has offered me more creative satisfaction than I probably would have found on a professional stage. How many guys on Broadway get to do Tevye from ‘Fiddler [on the Roof]?’ How many guys get to do the Modern Major-General in ‘Pirates of Penzance?’ I’ve done it here. It’s incredibly rewarding.”
The Crystal Theatre has had many lives since it opened in 1913, first drawing customers with vaudeville shows, then silent movies and talkies. It morphed into a coffee house and had a 20-year run as a dinner theater, where local performers staged classics such as “Arsenic and Old Lace,” “Oklahoma” and “Grease.”Then, in 2002, the theater went dark for an extended intermission. No one knew if it had another act.
The theater purposely limits its schedule to one spring fundraising gala, two summer education workshops (one for amateur directors and one for children’s theater) and a fall show, said Crozier, who earned a theater degree from Southwestern University in Georgetown and studied acting in London. The nonprofit group decided “we would focus on quality and less on quantity,” she said. They want to avoid burnout among volunteers.
The Hibbards started the Quitman Community Theatre. Since 2005, the theater company has put on 16 shows on a rented stage at the civic center. Hibbard usually directs and manages the productions, while his wife, Becky, serves as production coordinator and frequently performs.
Bob’s love affair with the stage started in 1970 when he served as an Army officer at Fort Hood and he began acting in shows at a community theater in Killeen. Later, working as a police officer in Arlington, he landed an agent and took a chance on becoming a full-time professional actor in the Dallas Fort-Worth area. But he eventually tired of the unpredictability of an actor’s life. He returned to police work and then landed jobs in the Texas corrections system, but all along continued performing on the side.
Since opening the Quitman stage, he has coaxed bank executives, a dentist, teachers and the local newspaper editor to perform.
Musicals and comedies are the biggest draws. “What doesn’t do well is serious drama,” Hibbard said. “People stay away in droves. They think ‘I have my own problems, I don’t want to see someone else’s problems.’ ”
Hibbard works closely with other nearby live theaters, the Lake Country Playhouse in Mineola and the Lindale Community Theater in Lindale. They may share props, scripts and coordinate schedules to make sure they don’t compete directly whenever possible, since all three theaters share the local pool of actors, crew and theatergoers.
Financial support has come from local businesses, banks and Wood County Electric Cooperative. Each spring, the theater jointly stages a musical dinner show with the local Rotary Club, which has proved a popular fundraiser for both groups.
“It’s so important to our small communities to have local entertainment that you don’t have to drive very far for,” said Debbie Robinson, general manager of Wood County Electric Co-op, who tries to attend most of the shows. “It’s just amazing the talent we have.”
The little theater in Bulverde faced a problem that sooner or later confronts many theatrical groups: Homelessness.
Founded in 1979, Spotlight Theatre & Arts Group, Etc. (or STAGE), held performances in a variety of places and leased a bowling alley for rehearsals and prop storage.
Zada Jahnsen decided to do something about it. She persuaded her husband, Earl, to build a theater on their property in southern Comal County, between San Antonio and New Braunfels. In 1985, they opened the 171-seat Krause House, named in honor of Zada’s ancestor George Krause, who settled here in the 1840s.
“I saw what good work they were doing and they were always having to set up in community centers and schools,” explained Jahnsen, a longtime community theater supporter and herself an actor. (Her first acting role: A German-speaking part at age 5.)
Jahnsen, 74, has since given up the stage to serve as a volunteer business manager for the theater. She also is the head cook, meaning she prepares the home-cooked meals for all the patrons. Yep, you guessed it. Over the years, the venue has become a dinner theater.
“It brings in people,” she said. “A lot of ladies love to go to the theater, but you give hubby a good meal and he’s willing to come again.”
The nonprofit organization is run by a 15-member board, which includes Earl, who also separately operates a towing and wrecker service. The group pays a nominal fee to lease the theater for its shows, enough to pay the property taxes, Zada said.
The Jahnsens want to keep the shows going after they are gone. They have created a family foundation to ensure STAGE can always count on performing shows on the Bulverde stage.
Not that the Jahnsens are slowing down. Zada has begun training a replacement, but the final handoff won’t be for a few years. And, make no mistake, Zada said, paying the bills, managing production schedules and making good choices in theatrical selections are keys to the success of any community theater.
“It is a business. It’s hard work,” Jahnsen said. “There are a lot of talented people who can act, but very few who can manage and run it.”

Reese Witherspoon first became a Hollywood headliner through her role as Elle Woods in ‘Legally Blonde’. In the film she plays a seemingly ditsy sorority girl who heads to Harvard Law School with the intention of proving to her ex boyfriend that she can be “serious”. After a few twists in the road, she learns that she can in fact be successful and that the dream boyfriend is not actually such a dreamboat. Sassy and feminist, her closing speech as Elle Woods came back into the headlines recently when a certain President appeared to find it inspiring. Watch his mimicry here for some light entertainment.
Since that breakout role, Reese Witherspoon has been one of the most lovable faces on Cinema screens. Through her many years as a successful actress she’s come to know the American film and TV industry deeply, and it was from this foundation that she began producing. ‘Wild’ (2015) was produced by Reese, as was ‘Gone Girl’. Whilst this is impressive in isolation, the context within which Reese has made this move is what makes it so exciting. Despite film audiences being approximately 50/50 male/female, the film industry itself is way off balance. Of the top 100 grossing films of 2017, women only represented:
- 8% of directors
- 10% of writers
- 2% of cinematographers
- 24% of producers
- 14% of editors
And who we’re seeing on screen reflects this. Amongst the top 100 films of 2016, females played just 29% of lead roles. Beyond simply raising the alarm, Reese has taken action. Using her production company Hello Sunshine (cute), her ambition is to bring more dynamic women to our screens, aware of the influence the entertainment industry can have on society. She has bought the production rights to a number of successful books (predominantly written by women). By owning these rights, she has control over who brings them to life and how. Just a few days ago she also announced an exciting new film project with Kerri Washington. Busy lady!

Top Five Book-to-Movie Adaptations
*These are my favorites, not all-time universal favorites
**Doing something different this week, and doing my Top Five Faves AND my Top Ten Dislikes!
1. The Lord of the Rings trilogy. WOW. I mean, they're not word-for-word true to the books, but they're pretty damn close. And that's really impressive, considering all the fantasy elements! The hubby and I re-watch all three extended versions every December.
2. Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery, of course!
3. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. I thought this one was really well done! The hubby didn't even know it was based on a book, and really liked it.
4. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. The Muppets do a really good job acting this one out. ;)
5. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. All three books, really. They were so good that the hubby, who doesn't usually like YA-book-to-movie adaptations watched all four with me! (He still won't say that they're "good," but he watched all four- why would you watch all four if you didn't think they were good?)
Top Five Worst Book-to-Movie Adaptations
*Again, just my humble opinion... not based on rating or box office sales or anything.
**In order of least worst to worst worst. ;)
1. The Maze Runner by James Dashner. I was SO EXCITED to see this with the hubby. He usually hates YA book-to-movie adaptations, but I was certain that the excitement of this book would make for a great movie. I was wrong. The director managed to mess it up.
2. Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. Unfortunately, the actors chosen for the lead roles were really good at acting and not good at singing and they did a musical version anyway. The hubby and I have a "rule" in our house that we read the book before we see the movie, so I wasted three weeks of my life reading an incredibly dense historic French novel just to be disappointed in the movie.
3. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. I LOVED this book! It was a super captivating page turner! I talked it up to the hubby until he relented and watched it with me... and major disappointment ensued. He thought it was terrible (I agreed) and my right to pick the movie on date night was revoked for three weeks.
4. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. This one was a bad book to begin with, and the movie only made it worse.
5. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy by John le Carre. I don't like being made to feel stupid, and this movie made me feel stupid. I couldn't follow what was going on at all. Neither could hubby, and he's really smart.
And you? What are your top favorite movies/book-to-movie adaptations or least favorites? Leave me a comment and I'll come visit!

Christian based movies or biblical movies carry always the best stories which are ever told. We have been watching so many movies since cinema has taken place. Hollywood movies and Bollywood movies are the most prominent. If we talk about the list of good Christian movies they carry gospel messages and are also fun to watch. The world is full of social media websites and the content present on these media is really popular among people. You might be wondering which best Christian films one can watch. In the year 2016 RISEN was the best movie based on Christianity.
Why it was so popular is the question which is being raised. Christian movies are always related to the biblical event which pulls out one’s soul. This movie is so popular because it carries out the story which is not included in the Bible but i6t contains events which we can find in the Bible. It is among the best Christian movies in 2016. It is regarded as the best historical fictional piece which portrays on the character that we might have not met in the Bible interacts with those who are found there. You will find spiritual content, sexual content and also violent content in this movie. Though there is minor sexual content the violent content is the one which should be concerned about.
RISEN is a remarkable best Christian movie 2016 as it deals with the death of Jesus and also the resurrection from a fresh frame of mind. In this movie, you have got a chance to look at Jesus with the viewpoint of an outsider, not an insider. With the perspective of an outsider we might know that the person who does not believes in miracle is overwhelmed through the mind-blowing miracles performed in the movie. In this movie, a high ranking roman soldier tries to prove the resurrection was a malicious deception. The movie contains some good dialogues too and is one of the greatest stories ever told.
This is so amazing that the story has been looked from the perspective of an unbeliever. The lead character Clavius follows the footsteps of the Jesus which transformed him or made him so different. RISEN is the best example of a faith-based Christian movie. This movie depicts the harsh reality of the Roman Empire which is so brutal. Jesus is the one who sacrificed his life to save the world from its sins. You will start believing Jesus when you will watch this wonderful movie.
It has been noticed that Christian media is one of the most powerful tools. Through Christianity humanism evolved on the earth and it has been denoted by the name Paradise where the beautiful creation of the god Adam and Eve lived. Christian movies are the best source to connect with God. Want to reach God? Believing in Jesus will lead you towards God who is the greatest power in this whole world. No other power is more than the power of Jesus.

Time to experiment again. I am going to create a “New Page” and see what happens. I’m not sure what a new page really is…I presume it is another subheading or section? I don’t know. But we’ll find out. Rather than random fill and greeking, I’ll write about Cléo de 5 à 7 (Cleo from 5 to 7), a wonderful film.
(If you are late to this blog, I set it up as a trial blog…a place for me to learn the mechanics of it all…and I haven’t been true to that purpose. Be patient, please, if this is a little fragmented and sloppy)
Cleo from 5 to 7, a film by Agnes Varda (France, 1961)
The French know how to make films. This is a beautiful film, loaded with subtle and not-so-sublte symbolism and metanarratives, all of which is largely irrelevant. This is a film that can be enjoyed on the surface, almost passively, and it will still touch you. Fun and even somewhat light, it carries some heavy and worthwhile messages without the burden of effort. The film might be somewhat inconsistent here and there, but it is hardly noticable.
Perhaps the gorgeous lead actress, Corrine Machand, steals too much of the show. But she is the center of attraction. She is the show. The film spends two hours with Cleo — 5:00 to 7:00 – in Paris. She has recently had medical tests to confirm a cancer diagnosis. At 7:00 she is to meet her doctor.
This isn’t a dumper of a film about a woman on a fear and pity jag. Cleo is distressed, but finds a lot to experience as she works through the streets of Paris. This alone is reason to watch this film. Paris circa 1961. Plenty of street scenes and many Parisians looking on. (Which, by the way, only adds to the sense that Cleo is the subject of the film. We are the cinematic voyeur multiplied by the gaze of the Parisians; from both within the film and without Cleo is the object of the gaze.)
The supporting characters that surround Cleo are perfect. They add to the story and don’t get in the way. Brilliantly done. Even cab drivers play on par with credited supporting actors. All contribute to an odd kind of realism that fits this style of filmmaking so well.
The key downer for me, however, was the lack of all that great European style you so often see men sporting in films of this era. But, once again, this is a film about Cleo. Masculine French panache would only interfere.
Rent the DVD. The extras are worth it, including a 2004 (?) retracing of Cleo’s route through Paris on the first day of Summer, 1961. Get this film. Now among my top ten.

The beloved children's classic The Secret Garden comes to life in this beautifully filmed adaptation from 1993.
The film opens with Mary Lennox (Kate Maberly) narrating about her lonely upbringing in India. Her parents want nothing to do with her, as they're too preoccupied with going to parties and social functions, leaving her to be looked after by servants. To make matters worse, there's no one around for her to befriend. When her parents die in an earthquake, she's shipped back to her native England, where she ruefully watches other children being collected by their own families at the docks. Eventually, she's retrieved by Mrs. Medlock (Maggie Smith), housekeeper for Mary's uncle and new guardian, Lord Craven (John Lynch). Due to her pampered upbringing, Mary not only has no idea how to even dress herself, but she behaves as a total brat towards Martha (Laura Crossley), a young servant who looks after her.

Insidious chapter 3 torrentking
※ Copy Link & paste in new tab: https://bit.ly/2E0VfTs
Synopsis A prequel set before the haunting of the Lambert family that reveals how gifted psychic Elise Rainier reluctantly agrees to use her ability to contact the dead in order to help a teenage girl who has been targeted by a dangerous supernatural entity. After trying to connect with her dead mother, teenager Quinn Brenner, ask physic Elise Rainier to help her, she refuses due to negotiate events in her childhood. Quinn starts noticing paranormal events happen in her house. After a vicious attack from a demon her father goes back and begs Elise Rainier to use her abilities to contact the other side in hope to stop these attacks by this furious demon content for a body. I feel like this is undoubtedly due to the fact that it makes you all at once feel horrified and sad, while also having mild undercurrents of comedic relief. This movie has way more substance than all the others in the franchise. For instance, I actually felt a connection to the characters in this movie. The tension between the father and daughter was so intense that it was palpable. I found myself feeling sorry for the father for having to carry such an emotional burden while also feeling bad for the daughter for basically having to take on the maternal role in the household. I can honestly say that the first two movies didn't do that great of a job at making me feel any emotions resembling sympathy toward the protagonists. My favorite part about this movie was that it really tugged at the old heart strings. As one having dealt with the loss of many loved ones over time, I understand the deep desire to reach out to them from beyond the grave. Somehow the subject of a teenage girl wanting to contact her deceased mother made the old wounds of my own personal losses feel fresh. Toward the end of the movie, I found my eyes welling up with tears. I can honestly say walking out of the theater, I felt like it was a great ten bucks spent. The first movie was a surprise hit, giving the audience back their interests in horror movies to come. The second one worked sporadically with critics but still kept audiences wanting for more. And now, here comes another sequel I meant prequel. Will it pay off? Quinn Renner Scott is a young woman seeking a clairvoyant to contact her deceased mother. She calls up to Elise Rainer Shaye , who informs her that she may have been contacted with an evil spirit who will take her soul. Slowly, Quinn starts to have scary occurrences. And it's up to Elise if she can help her or not. From the first scene, I can sense something different this movie will be heading. Even though there's jump scares aplenty, most of them doesn't pack a punch like its' previous movies. But, Whannell has a way to orchestrate frightening and rich atmosphere, that almost cover all the flaws. Back to that something different, it is the emotional undercurrent that stood out, talking about grief and coping from it, while limited. It is something the first two didn't really tell. The actors and actresses has done a great job. But, the real thing is Lin Shaye. She is a revelation. Her range as an actress can be seen solely from this movie. She makes you root for her, care for her, even laugh with her. When the movie starts to fumble, she holds it from falling apart, avoiding cliches and conventionality. A plus one for that than just being a good film. If you're looking for the same intensity from the first two, you'll most likely will be disappointed. But, if you're looking for not just the scares, you'll get something more than most horror movies. Reviewed by kuronox 9 Fans of the original Insidious especially fans of Lin Shaye's character, Elise should find this movie very enjoyable to watch. If you're new to the series, then it's a strong movie on its own right. I loved the first two movies and given that this is the third installment following two very strong films - I feel like they were successful with the storytelling. I was expecting this movie to have nothing to do with the first and second movie, but I really appreciated that they tied in plot lines from the previous movies. I have to say that I love Lin Shaye's character - I fell in love with her in the first Insidious and it was really great to see her kick some demon ass. I could probably watch Elise exorcise demons forever. Yeah, I'm gonna have to say that it was because I actually jumped a few times and I rarely jump during horror movies anymore. The jump scares were clever, but it isn't ONLY jump scares. However, the demon in this movie leaves a lot of questions unanswered. It actually looks like it could have a story connected to the family, but they never really explain the demon perhaps there is nothing to explain and I'm just reading into it too much. At some points in the movie, I could see classic Japanese horror elements and it works great here. After James Wan left the director position I was skeptical how well Leigh Whannell would do. I have to say, congrats to Leigh Whannell for successfully continuing the Insidious franchise. Will there be an Insidious 4?

So today I decided to treat a friend to the cinema. As far as I know out of my small circle of friends, there was only 2 of us that wanted to see Venom. So thankfully we had a free day.
I’ve seen generally negative reviews around the movie and my friend A, who I think I’ve previously mentioned, has said he’s seen nothing but good reviews. I wish I’d seen those reviews before I went and saw Venom as honestly, I’d agree with them. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and its a movie I want to go and watch again.
The trailers honestly don’t do it justice, the acting, special effects, fight sequences and story were way beyond my expectations. Ruben Fleischer proves once again to be a great director. Tom Hardy in the trailers just seemed to have the strangest of accents but in the movie amazing performance. We both came out of the cinema singing our praises towards it.
Is highly recommend for action fans, comic book fans etc to go and watch it… Sorry, I know my usual posts aren’t pretty much movie reviews (and this is a poorly worded review), but it’s not often that I get surprised by how good a movie is like I did with Venom.
Until next time!
