Side Effects (2013)
Gripping psychological thriller
The movie had me hooked from the beginning. Its a throwback to hitchcockian style of film making. The director creates suspense early on in the first half and the plot sucks you in and doesn't let go until the very end. Jude law is his usual great self playing a rich psychiatrist and Rooney Mara delivers another great performance after A girl with the dragon tattoo, playing the victim of a drug side effect. The plot thickens with the emergence of Catherine Zeta-Jones, who looks a bit aged here, but never the less still looks gorgeous as ever. The only thing thing missing was full blown lesbian scene between the two females!
Stay away if you are looking for big blasts, robots, senseless violence, on the other hand if you aren't worried about using your brain a little, this will be a delight
Evil Dead (2013)
All guts no glory
The fans of the original STAY AWAY! This movie does not work on any level, where's the dark humor that makes the original evil dead movies so great? Not only is there no humor, this attempt fails as a horror movie.Its as if the director used bucket loads of gore to please 'torture porn' fans, which is fine but there's no build up to the killings,one couldn't care less about the wooden characters. The movie seems to drag on forever even with the run time of 90 minutes.
Pros: - Visually appealing - Surprise After the credits for the fans of the original
Cons: - Wooden characters - Subject to horror movie clichés - Extremely boring
