The Witch Movie Review

Title: The Witch

Rated R (disturbing violent content, graphic nudity)

Starring: Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Ineson, Kate Dickie

Director: Robert Eggers

IMDb Synopsis: A family in 1630's New England is torn apart, by the forces of witchcraft, black magic and possession.

My rating: 7/10






Wow, that was unexpected

I. The Characters

The whole film revolves around a family of six who live out in the wilderness. The ensemble consists of Tomasin, William, Caleb, Mercy, and Jonas, with Tomasin being the central character. The acting is amazing for a horror film, specifically the actors that play Tomasin and William, respectively. There is one scene where the character of Caleb, says a few lines and it's really effective.


II. The Story

After the film ends, it is shown on screen that this film was inspired by writing in journals, of which actual dialogue is apparently from those journals.

III. The Scares

There really aren't a lot of scares in The Witch. There are scares, of course, but the film is driven by the performances, which are awesome.

If you are a fan of the horror genre, I think you'll love this movie. Me personally, I didn't LOVE this movie, but I did enjoy it a lot, it's a lot better than Annabelle, but not better than The Conjuring in my opinion.
 

Deadpool Movie Review

Title: Deadpool

Rated R (strong violence and language throughout, sexual content and graphic nudity)

Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein

Director: Tim Miller

IMDb synopsis: A former Special Forces Operative turned mercenary is subjected to a rouge experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopting the alter ego Deadpool.  

My rating: 10/10




I'm totally seeing this again, probably on Valentines Day.

So Deadpool is amazingly disturbing, but its also amazingly awesome!!

I. The Story

The story was pretty generic to be honest. Some people hate that, some people loved it. I actually thought Deadpool benefited from the generic story, I do think though that the sequel (witch will be with Cable, another Xmen) will go for another route story wise at least.

II. The Characters

The characters were extremely well done. Reynolds does amazing as Deadpool. Ed Skrein was awesome as the villain Ajax. I bought the relationship of Deadpool and Morena Baccarin's character. I also loved the characters of Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Colossus.

III. The Action

For being Tim Miller's directorial debut, the action is very well filmed, absolutely no shaky cam. Also, this is one of the most gory superhero film I've seen, don't take the kids to this one.

IV. The Comedy

If you know the character of Deadpool, you know the type of humor that is expected in this. The comedy is amazingly hilarious; Reynolds delivery is spot on as well as the rest of the cast.

V. The Negatives

To be honest, there's barely any negatives, I loved this movie. The only negative I have, is that during the flashback scene's, it seems to rush along a little bit. This movie is 1hr and 48 minutes and is a very fast paced movie, just sometimes its a little too fast.

So, in conclusion, GO SEE DEADPOOL

ALSO if you're into entertainment and music, my cousin just started his own blog. He covers all the major pop culture events and music, with his own music charts. go to http://jcc3ntral.blogspot.com/ for more info.
