Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Aladdin premise?!? WTF? Terrible film
Quite possibly the worst superhero movie in the last 30 years. The core of the descent into horribleness was the "dream stone" premise, aka, the "genie in a bottle" plot line. The story was so incredibly lame, silly, and lazy that nothing else in the film ever had a chance of working. This film was dead on arrival. How did this script get green lit?!
The Silence (2019)
Bird Box, The Quiet Place, The Silen...give me a break
How can anyone take this movie seriously after The Quiet Place and Bird Box? I understand The film industry is based on popular trends, but this is just ridiculous. It's exactly the same premise!...only much worse.
Shot Caller (2017)
Most underatted film of 2017
Maybe the best prison film of all time. Incredible across the board. Script, directing, acting, cinematography, and score. A+. See this film. Deserves way more love.
VANish (2015)
Crazy, awesome, messed up, wild ride of a film. Totally worth seeing.
When I first heard the concept of Vanish, (being shot entirely from inside a van) I thought the idea was interesting and ambitious, but I didn't really think the concept could hold up for a full feature length film. At least not for sustaining audience entertainment value. Wow, was I wrong. The entire film is shot from inside a van, but don't let that fool you. Vanish is a fast paced thriller with surprisingly kick ass action sequences and unpredictable twists and turns throughout the film. Scene after kick ass scene, I was pleasantly surprised, impressed, and entertained all the way to the end. To pull off something this ambitious, (and claustrophobic) you have to bring together a ridiculously talented cast. To the casting director's credit, Vanish's ensemble cast was incredible. There were exceptional performances by the entire cast, especially by Maiara Walsh and Bryan Bockbrader, which is doubly impressive considering Bockbrader also directed the film. Seeing film legends Tony Todd and Danny Trejo act in a low budget indie film was also cool, and to see them actually go for it instead of just cashing in their performances (which they could've easily done) was especially refreshing. The uber suspenseful Tony Todd scene is one of my favorite moments in the entire film and I'm sure I'm not alone there. (Spoiler Alert) I won't mention anything too specific, but I will say that the twist/turn that occurs in the third act was both completely unexpected and extremely well executed. This is probably why I enjoyed the reveal so much in all it's bloody glory. Newcomer Adam Guthrie deserves special kudos for pulling off this absolutely insane sequence. (Double props to the F/X guy) As a self-proclaimed film buff, and a working filmmaker myself, at the end of the day I judge a movie by three basic qualities. Was I engaged through the entire film, did I enjoy watching it, and did I think about the film the next day. Vanish passes all three tests for me, which is why I would recommend it to anyone who likes this genre of cinema. Just don't watch Vanish alone with your grandma...unless she's into the whole ultra violence thing.
