No One Will Save You (2023)
What a treat! If "Home Alone" and "Signs" had a many gray alien babies!
(No spoilers)
She is living alone in a two-story house in a rural American town. Late at night, she wakes to clattering sounds downstairs. What could it be? She slowly walks out of her bedroom, to the edge of the stairs and notices the front door open. Suddenly, a silhouette of a slender figure twitching in the dark below walks into the kitchen. Gurgling, clicking, the invaders are not human!
This is one of those fun movies to watch with friends! I, however, chose to watch this alone in my living room when everyone was asleep. I kept the lights off and left the sliding door to the backyard open, because, as they say; when in Rome! However, I did not expect things to 'kick off' so quickly. Around 15 minutes into the movie I shut the sliding door and turned one light on.
This is a fun, adrenaline-filled, alien invasion thriller! No need to speak much when you are alone and realize No One Will Save You!
Cheers.
The Mummy (2017)
The critics lie! The Mummy was exciting, well made, fun and action pact!
What could have happened to get such a fast angry mob of movie critics and bloggers to so quickly trash The Mummy days before it came out? Well, I saw it and for the life of me could not find much to complain about.
I understand that a persons opinion of a movie is just that, an opinion. Yet a couple of days ago sitting at my desk I start seeing a flood of negative reviews about The Mummy. So I read, and I read, and I continued to read words such as horrible, terrible, worst Tom Cruise movie ever, etc etc. So I decided to go to the movies today and just see this apparent train wreck of a movie. I sat there and was willing to accept what ever apparent "garbage" they threw at me. I mean I managed to stay through the entire Suicide Squad and I have to admit that was a mess, horrible in my opinion because they tried to cram way too many leading rolls down my throat.
So after watching The Mummy do I agree with the premature flood of angry reviews? Reviews I was almost forced to endure on my many devices as if a global event was happening. I was told The Mummy was not good, not good at all in many words. Well the truth is the critics lie and apparently bullying a movie out of the box office is a live and well.
I was actually quite happy with The Mummy. I liked Nicks character played by Tom Cruises who I felt was believable for a fun summer action movie. I enjoyed Jenny, co-star Annabelle Wallis who fit the roll well and did not annoy me like some actors can when it comes to 'running and screaming'. I sat through the entire movie and at one point I actually was looking for something to complain about. I personally did not like Russle Crow as Jekyll because I felt, in all honesty he was too fat for the roll. Sofia Boutella did a great job as the main villain. I could feel her feel her rage and madness and at one moment she made me jump. Guess the 3D helped there.
So, what I have learned is never believe a movie critic until you see the movie for yourself.
