Curse of Chucky

Now since today is Halloween; how about a movie with everyone's favorite doll Chucky. The movie "Curse of Chucky", the first time I watched this film I was younger and I thought the film was going to be scary; but it was not. I know quite a few people who are afraid of Chucky and after watching it for myself, I still do not understand why. I mean the thought of having a murderous villain trapped inside is scary; but it is a thriller, it is supposed to be scary. In the film Chucky (Brad Dourif) is out for revenge, he invades a young woman's family, her sister and her niece. Personally I have no idea why he wanted to get revenge; but I think to understand why you have to watch "Child's Play". I have not seen that film so "Curse of Chucky"  was very confusing to me, as to not knowing the reason behind his killing's. I feel that this is the perfect film to watch on Halloween if you are not going out to party or to take your sibling's trick-or-treating. If you want to watch a scary movie, but one that will not scar you and that is not too scary; this is the perfect film. Overall I like this movie, i like how it is another take on your typical thriller film; and if you like this one there are other films like "The Bride of Chucky" or "The Seed of Chucky" that go along with this story. I know that everyone has probably already seen this film and the other films; but you should still check them out and watch them again.

The Shining

Continuing on with the Halloween theme I decided to pick Stephen King's "The Shining". The movie itself might not be very scary; but it is very disturbing to watch. I had watched the film during the summer, me being curious as to what it was about. I would advise not to watch it at night, and to give yourself at least a two hour break to have time to watch it. I had made the mistake of watching it late at night and I was scarred a bit; but since the film is two hours long I watched the rest in the morning. If you have seen the meme of "Here's Johnny" or the two twins in the hallway going around this is the source of it. My opinion on the film was I liked it, I did not like how disturbing it was; but I guess that was King's intention when he wrote the story. The movie takes place in Colorado, where Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) has to stay at the empty Overlook Hotel, hoping to cure his writer's block. He goes with his wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and his son Danny (Danny Lloyd), and he has psychic premonitions while he is there. Jack was trying to write; but it was not going so good, his visions begin to become disturbing. He then finds out about the dark secrets of the hotel and starts to turn into a homicidal maniac hell-bent on terrorizing his family. Since in the film Jack has visions, some of them are truly unpleasant to watch. Even the sons visions are creepy to watch. When I watched the film I did not really understand why and how Jack became a maniac; so it might be confusing at first to watching it, but I think you will understand the story at the end. Throughout the film I felt that certain aspects left me speechless, like what is going on? I think that if you have wanted to watch the film or are into weird films like this one, I recommend you to watch it.

The Conjuring

Since it is the month October and Halloween is coming up I thought I should watch a scary movie. I decided to watch "The Conjuring", I have never seen the film, so I did not know what to expect. While I was watching it during some of the scenes I was afraid to look up at the screen, I knew that something creepy was going on. Personally I don't like scary movies; but I will watch some, I have heard many things about the film, I was curious and wanted to see what the fuss was about. After watching it I was like what the freak, some of the scenes were jaw dropping like you wanted to turn off the television. I never knew that this film was based on true case files of the Warren's until I read the description. The film is about in 1970 paranormal investigators demonologists Lorraine (Vera Farmiga) and Ed (Patrick Wilson) Warren are called to the home of Carolyn (Lili Taylor) and Roger (Ron Livingston) Perron. They just moved into a farmhouse with their five daughters, the home has a supernatural presence. Throughout their stay a series of events that go from okay to terrifying, especially after finding out the history of the home. The director James Wan is very known for his horrifying films. He filmed the Insidious films, The Conjuring films, and many others. Movies like these terrify me, but I still choose to watch them out of my own curiosity. Even though the film scared me; if you are into horror movies I definetly recommend this film.

Captain America: Civil War

Personally I have always been a fan of the Marvel films. My personal favorites are the Captain America films. Everything about them I love, especially the action and the stunts in the movies. This is the third film of the Captain America movies; but there is a whole Marvel universe that goes along with these films. In this film pressure from the government is put on both the characters where the Avengers have to be accountable for their actions. Captain America (Chris Evans) thinks hero's should be free to defend mankind without the government conflicting their decisions; and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) disagrees and thinks there should be some sort of  consequence for their actions. Their disagreement leads into feud where Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Bucky (Sebastian Stan) The Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Scarlett Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), Ant-man (Paul-Rudd), Vision (Paul Benttany), Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), and War machine (Don Cheadle) must pick whose side they are on. So far I think that this is the best one of the Captain America movies ever made. Even the actors themselves are great in this movie. Some of them you may not know who they are; but if you go back and watch the other films you will know who is who. Personally I love Chris Evans not only his character, but him as a person. I think he was meant for this role as Captain; because it suits him very well, same goes with Robert Downey Jr. too. I highly recommend if you have not seen this film to watch it and the previous films as well.

Alice Through The Looking Glass

                

As one of the classic storybooks to the colorful film.Alice in Wonderland

 has been around for years first it 

was a cartoon by Disney, then the live

action film by Disney, and now the second part of the story through the

looking glass. "Alice Through The Looking Glass" is the second part of 

"Alice In Wonderland" ; the film starts out from where we left off from the 

first one. Alice had recently become in charge of her fathers business. 

The movie continues by Alice (Mia Wasikowska) going through and

returning to Underland. while she's there she hears from The White Queen

(Anne Hathaway) that The Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) has fallen into

misery; because of his family. So Alice plans on saving him or else

he would die. Along the way she runs into problems with Time (Sacha 

Baron Cohen) and The Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter). Now I want

to tell you the ending; but I don't want to ruin the whole movie by 

giving it away. When I had heard there was going to be a second 

movie, I was really excited; because I loved the first film. After

having watched it, I'm telling you it's worth your time. The scenery 

is completely different than the first; because they show how 

Underland looks now. Certain elements of the motion picture help

make the first film understandable. My favorite thing about the 

entire movie is how Alice isn't portrayed as weak; she is portrayed

as an strong women, a feminist. I think that Disney has changed

a lot on how women are portrayed in their films; which is very much 

supported especially in today's society. Overall there are parts of the film 

i believe all of you will love.
