You're Next Movie Review

This Is What Happens When There's One Smart Person

You're Next is a pretty good horror flick. Honestly, it lived up to my expectations for the film and I'm happy about it.
You're Next follows a family as their parents celebrate their wedding anniversary. But when a group of murders comes upon them, the anniversary falls into chaos. What the murders don't expect is Erin (Sharni Vinson), the girlfriend of one of the brothers, and she knows how to fight back.
You're Next is basically what happens when you drop one smart character in a horror film. Erin is a cool character and knows how to hold her own. If I was in a horror film, I'd want her to lead the group. 
The acting is a little clunky at times, but the film doesn't take itself too seriously. I think the cast didn't have the best chemistry, especially since they're supposed to be a family. Sharni Vinson is probably the one who makes this film. 
The camera work is well done, and there are a few fun shots throughout the film. The lighting, for the most part was pretty good. I didn't pay much attention to the sound design while I was watching You're Next, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it could have been a bit better.
The horror action was a bit cliche, but I think that's what the film was going for. You're Next could've stepped it up a bit, but then again Erin had the best parts. The antagonists are supposed to be highly trained, but they don't come off that way. Erin comes off as better trained than they are.
If you're looking for a popcorn slasher flick, then I'd suggest checking out You're Next. The film shouldn't be taken seriously, but there is fun to be had. I would recommend checking out You're Next at least once though.



final score: 3.2/5

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far The funniest show I've seen in years I've been watching a show on Netflix called Norsemen, and I swear this is the funniest show I've seen in years! I can't understate how funny this show can really be, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say about 90% of the jokes land. Norsemen starts off in 790 AD, and follows a few Vikings and their slaves. The show goes through their lives and their trials, but it's done with a comedic spin. If you haven't yet, watch the trailer above to get a better idea of the show. I will say this, this show reminds me of Monty Python ! Some of the jokes Norsemen  are gut busting, and will almost have you rolling on the floor laughing. In an age of bad comedies this show is gold.  I just started watching season 2 the other day, and I just want to keep watching. The episodes are about a half hour long each, and it's the perfect time frame to get the story across. I wouldn't c...
