Big Franchise Chills and Thrills


 

SCREAM 5

THRILLER/SLASHER

PLOT:    The further kills of Ghostface.

WHAT IS RIGHT:  It is a requel – based on the original movie with modern changes.  One of the characters gave that a new phase which means the fans of the fictional Stab movies love the first film.  It has many funny moments and many things from the past franchise.

WHAT IS WRONG:  Should there be a next?  Maybe because of the first director Wes Craven who passed away.  Sidney (Neve Campell) not in much until the end along with Gale

(Courteney Cox).

SHOULD YOU WATCH:  Do you like Scream movies?  Then watch if not- don’t watch.  The best were the first 2 because it was original.


THE BATMAN

DRAMA/MYSTERY/THRILLER 

PLOT:  The Riddler is killing important people in Gotham and Bruce Wayne’s family is involved.

WHAT IS RIGHT:  It is a different Batman then many people are used to.  He is a crime fighter and a crime solver.  The Riddler leaves clues in cards and he has to figure out The Riddler’s horrible plan.  Robert Pattinson is great as the brooding, sober cape crusader.  Gone are the days of Twilight franchise.  Paul Dano as the Riddler is just AMAZING. There is a reason for his madness but it is still madness.  Colin Farrell is unrecognizable as The Penguin.  He is not in the movie much but when he is you know it. Zoe Kravitz is good as Selina Kyle/Catwoman.

WHAT IS WRONG:  It is VERY grim and gritty.  It is NOT a popcorn movie!  It is a slow burn.  There is not a lot of action until the end.

SHOULD YOU WATCH:  YES!  It is the Dark Knight and he is a detective you will enjoy it.  Everything  is intense from acting to the music.
