Review: The Possession (2012)

 

There are a good deal of possession films out there. Besides The Exorcist, the list of the bad ones are numerous, and this one probably knew it would fall amongst that list too. To say the least, it seems like this film didn't even try to be something good. It's one of the most generic horror films out there, that only succeeds at being forgettable.

Breaking Bad: Season 5, Episode 7 - Say My Name

Things are clearly reaching their peak as Breaking Bad moves into its last episode for this half of the season next week. It's evident that the pieces are definitely falling into place. 

Review: ParaNorman (2012)

Before the 1980s, the zombie genre was very black and white in its content. It was horror, and nothing more than that. Luckily, after The Return of the Living Dead was released, this film managed to show a new face to the world of zombies by proving it isn't too hard to make a joke out of the undead. ParaNorman manages to take that lead and bring a new level once again to the zombie genre. In this case, making zombies "kid-friendly". 

Breaking Bad: Season 5, Episode 5 - Dead Freight

This week, Breaking Bad took the audience back to the days of the Wild West. Who would have expected that? And yet, in one of the most ambitious episodes this series has ever had, it creates a near ode to The Great Train Robbery, and actually pulls it off.

Fantasia Review: The Kick (2011)

After a family of taekwondo experts move to Taiwan, they become heroes when they foil the plans of a thief, and this thief then goes to any length to get his revenge. It actually plays out exactly as many family friendly films do, where the family have their woes, and they need to find the power to stick together. The only difference for this one, is that it has martial arts thrown in the mix. 

Breaking Bad Season 5 Episode 4: Fifty-One

This week's episode was most definitely a throwback to season one. With this episode celebrating Walt's fifty-first birthday, it really makes you realise how much he's changed, along with everyone around him, within the span of only 12 months. 

Fantasia Review: Starry Starry Night (2011)

One of Vincent Van Gogh's most famous paintings, Starry Starry Night, takes a landscape countless have seen, and turns it into the extraordinary. This film followed through with that idea by making a fantastical world out of the ordinary. This film manages to paint its own picture of how reality and imagination can cross paths making the world seem a bit less cruel, especially through the eyes of two kids who are trying to find their place in the world. 

5 Best Films I saw in July

This has been a pretty slow month for me in terms of movie watching. Between trying to catch up on a million and one tv series and staying on top of the new anime season, I haven't had much time to fit in my film quota for the month. I still have a hell of a lot of Fantasia films to see, so hopefully August will be a better month than this one. Anyway, here's my top five for July:

5. Cat Ballou (1965)

4. Black Pond (2011)

3. The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)

2. The Dark knight Rises (2012)

1. K-ON! (2011)
