Admittedly, I did not like the original. It tried to reinterpret the characters from The Seven Samurai and the overall theme leading to it’s inevitable ending(perhaps one of the greatest cinematic endings ever) and failed terribly in doing so.
This remake simply doesn’t give a fuck. That’s why it was so much fun!
That being said, there are a SHITLOAD of things wrong with this film but I didn’t give a fuck either. I just wish they had spent more time with each of the characters because they were so bloody interesting and showed the building of their relationships with one another and the villagers they were defending.
Still, it’s 2 hours of unpretentious fun. I’ll probably watch it again.
She was funny for about 5 minutes when she first hit. Just like Dane Cook and Larry the Cable Guy. All 3 of them are the worst of the worst (toss in Ralphie May and Jeff Dunham too).
I think that happens with comedians more than other performers. Not that Schumer was ever funny but the most entertaining comedians get old fast and fail to evolve.
Borrowed time - Oddly endearing tale about a young delinquent man’s unlikely friendship with an old, cantankerous dude (at times it’s genuinely heart-warming & at other times it’s sort of funny…though, I’m not entirely sure it’s supposed to be) 7/10.
Lights Out (2016) - Really enjoyed this one - it had a concise story and got there without the typical horror movie clichés. Except for the part when they go in the basement; don’t you know when you’re in a horror movie you can’t go in the basement!
(Using my best Comic Book Man voice) What is up with the hole in the side of the AT-AT? Did they not finish their CGI graphics? George Lucas circa 1980 would never let that happen.
I saw this one Tuesday. Really cool thriller that was exactly as you said. There was very little “WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING THAT?!?!” while watching this. The coolest thing is that I started out rooting for the blind guy, but as the story played out, my allegiance switched. And it just. Doesn’t. Stop. There’s asshole-puckering tension for the last solid hour of run time.
If you liked Green Room, you’ll like this just as much. 8.5/10
EDIT: I just realized I was talking about the wrong movie. I meant Don’t Breathe.
