Ghost Asylum (2014)
Just wrong
This show is wrong on so many levels. There is really nothing i can say that has not been stated by so many others who thought this show was 'stupid' 'wrong' 'crazy' 'absurd'
The accents of these goof-balls is a slap in the face to real southern folks. The guy in the tank top with the muscles he wants everyone to know how tough he thinks he is. Come on dude, really tank tops? really???? a nice fitting shirt would give the same effect, and not make you look like your more interested in yourself than the investigation.
They say they are trying to help these spirits, so they gasp, yell, scream, whoa' and act totally freaked out? i'm sure all the spirits will want to trust you totally guys... i'm so tired of ghost hunters, paranormal investigators who are suppose to be investigating, and then act totally freaked out by the fact they are getting spirit activity.
and who put them in charge of what to do with these spirits? i like the idea of giving them the option to "go to the light", "your dead".
the traps are just so over the top. The idea you can trap a spirit in a trap is making it look like a comedy rip off of ghost busters.
the only good thing about this show is Brannon. He is the most down to earth, least phony dude of the five. I really adore him, i don't believe in his traps, but i love the way he explains the traps, if i wasn't smart enough to realize a spirit who can roam through walls could be trapped in a gadget, i would believe him. I want to believe him, but damn i just don't, sorry Brannon. Your absolutely adorable.
can not believe this show was renewed past the pilot episode.
Captivity (2007)
Be careful what you disclose to others
Keywords of movie: Horror/Torture; Facing of ones own fears and strengths.
Story Genre: a Torture Horror; a Suspense Thriller; a Psychological Thriller
The Story centers around two young people as they Endure endless tests of their inner strength, It is disclosed that the tests hold a much deeper meaning, as fears must be faced, those unthinkable situations are presented.
The movie held my interest, as I learned more about their backgrounds, and the very small hints only to the identity of the bad guy(s) The characters were nicely portrayed and the plot was smoothly played out. Elisha Cuthbert;The main female character was beautiful, she had a helpless kitten way about her, yet knew underneath she had a tiger that could emerge and attack. Daniel Gillies;The lead male, wow now this guy is going to go far, he can surly act with the best of them. He is built he has a confidant take charge manner, with a gentle touch. He has an air about him, almost aloof.
I only felt a mild sense of boredom towards the middle, it seemed more focused on trying to get a sex scene in the movie than the actual story line. And I found the many actual torture scenes to be enough to keep me squirming in my seat.
The ending blew my mind, I thought I had it figured out middle way through, but was totally wrong, Lol, very well done.
Even though the actual plot is not totally unique, I felt this time the character was much better able to keep the facade going longer thus keeping the audience in suspense longer.
I felt very entertained after viewing the movie, the rest of the night was spent in discussion of the movie pointing out each characters strong points and how each scene played out. I know I will be telling all my friends about the movie, and seeing if they won't watch the movie and join the discussion and appreciation of the work of art.
Girl, Interrupted (1999)
Sometimes we just need clarity of vision.
Girl Interrupted takes us on a journey into the lives of approximately 6 young women who are coping with differing mental illnesses in a mental facility.
Their illnesses are magnified by the uncertain times of the 60's, which the film time-line is set in. The Vietnam war, the struggles of the gender wars of the times, along with so many other issues that the 60's brought about are focused upon as well. Susanna (Ryder) and Lisa (Jolie) our main characters, along with a small group of others make it easy for us to bond with, and have strong ideals of how we want their lives to turn out.
Jolie has once again proved she sets herself apart from other actresses, as she takes hold of this character and nails it. She is a delicious sociopath. She uses and owns the ward. Ryder also does a good job with her character.
I believe that Ryder was a very confused young woman, she took the 60's hard, her feelings ruled her. She had to find a purpose for her life in order to get past the block she was facing in her life. She is diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.
Although the group of women bonded, and they could help each other out by listening, they could not heal each other. Ryder soon learned that in order to heal and get out of the hospital was to work on herself. She needed to turn all her feelings into something constructive. She needed to stop hiding from what she fears. After a traumatic experience, and seeing Jolie for what she really was inside, she began to work on her recovery. She saw that Jolie was not the answer to getting out of the hospital.
There are many great scenes in the movie, the movie did a good job of depicting a mental facility in the 60's. Well at least for those with money. The only real staff member that you meet and have feelings for one way or another is Goldberg (nurse Owens) who did a good job, I enjoyed the way she tried to help the young women in her own way.
All in all I would say this movie was great. There was not a moment when I didn't identify with at least one or more of the characters. The actors kept you enticed.
There were a lot of cut scenes, flashbacks, but I honestly didn't mind them, they were understandable and not confusing as so many films seem to be.
