I watched Synchronic. A scifi drama from the makers of The Endless. Starring Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan. Two paramedics working in the New Orleans. They have things going on at home. One is ill and the other has his marriage that has issues. The victims in each case have been taking a designer drug. The side effects leads them to time travel. Dennis's daughter Brianna goes missing and so Mackie's character Steve tries to figure out a way to get her back. Impressive special effects, acting and soundtrack. I like the concept. May need to see the science behind it. Check out the trivia and discussion. In one scene I spotted one the extras that is playing a corpse. He shifts his leg and moves his hand lower as Mackie passes. But it isn't a bad film. You should see The Endless, The Jacket, Chronical.
I decided to watch Willy's Wonderland. A horror comedy from Signature. Tongue in cheek, action packed. Starring Nicolas Cage as a man travelling through America. He is a passing a small town. His car breaks down. So whilst it is being repaired. He owes the mechanic money. He is hired by the theme park owner to pay off the debt by cleaning up the building. Meanwhile you have these animatronic puppets. The characters from the park come alive at night. Later on a back story is given. The Janitor barely says much. Not sure what the glance between him and Liv is about. Kathy is one of the friends. She is hot, liking the tits and ass. The other teens in the group know about the history of the park and want it destroyed. You have cgi, puppetry and stunt work in costumes. The Janitor is pretty bad ass. Cage is a great actor. Just because of the damn memes they don't take him seriously. Worth taking a look. Soundtrack is good. Reminded of a few films that I recommend: Five Nights At Freddy's, Cooties, Ash Vs Evil Dead, Gremlins, Westworld, Zombieland, Child's Play. Emily Tosta, Beth Grant and others star.
I watched Splinter again in a long while. It is an independent horror film. Starring Shea Whigham, Jill Wagner, Charles Baker, Paulo Costanzo, Rachel Kerbs, Laurel Whitsett.
Director Toby Wilkins
A young couple who are quite mismatched are on a camping trip. The boyfriend Seth is a PhD graduate and nerdy. His girlfriend Polly is hot, has a nice pair of tits. The have the unfortunate encounter with a convict Dennis and his girlfriend Lacey on the run from the law. They all are in the car. Meanwhile because of some experiment I believe there is this parasite. Infecting any host that is in it's way. Spikes come out of it. This is a good film. Quite gory. You might also like Slither, The Thing. Good soundtrack. Great acting and special effects.
Monster Hunter is an action scifi adventure film by Paul W. S. Anderson. Starring: Milla Jovovich; Tony Jaa; Clifford "T. I." Harris; Meagan Good; Diego Boneta; Josh Helman; Jin Au-Yeung; Ron Perlman.
I saw the trailer and noticed mixed reviews. Milla has been in a few good films. Not the greatest actor but does a good enough job. She plays a Ranger named Captain Artemis. Her team of military soldiers are on some mission in the desert. A storm is brewing nearby. They are sucked into a portal taking them to another world. They encounter monsters. Meanwhile on this planet is the Hunter and his people on a boat type vehicle when they are attacked. I like how some characters in films from different worlds have an understanding. At 38 mins I was about to fall asleep. I could have stopped watching. I had been working in the day. I did hope the military scenes would not be clichéd. The sort of thing Tropic Thunder would parody. Impressive creature designs. FX aren't bad. Plenty of action. I did think that this would be about an entire team. The soundtrack is electro, synthwave. Good cast of actors especially Tony Jaa. Milla looking good. T. I was in this despite some recent controversy. Some reason her character reminded me of Katherine Hepburn. You might also like Mad Max, Monsters, Godzilla, Love And Monsters, A Quiet Place, Dune, Stargate. There is some mid credits scene which doesn't make sense. Doubt there will be a sequel.
