Insidious The Last Key Movie Review

So I saw Insidious The Last Key a little while ago, and it was a pretty good horror movie, for the forth one in a franchise.
The movie follows Elise (Lin Shaye) a psychic that helps people with their paranormal problems, but this time the demon is in her old family house. This case that she is taking on is personal.
The timeline for the franchise is a little weird but it goes insidious 3, insidious the last key, insidious, insidious 2. I don't know if they are going to make a 5th film in the franchise, but its high enough quality that I think they could pull it off.
So in this one the acting is very well done. Lin Shaye plays Elise perfectly, and having four movies to get used to her character, she plays the character very naturally. The other cast members are also very good, but sometimes there dialogue can seem a little stale at times. I've heard that the comedy in this movie is really bad, but I'm here to tell you that it's not as bad as some people are saying, though I'm not saying that it's good, just some cringe and some laughs.
In horror films, the music score is so very important, and this movie has an amazing horror score that fits perfectly with this movie.
The lighting matched each scene perfectly and really captured the feeling of each and every scene. For the darks in this movie, I noticed that they went with more blue for their darker colors, and to me I find this a little interesting because blue is more of a drama color cinematically.
The fear is very effective in certain scenes, there are scares to be had in this film. Yet towards the end it becomes a little less freaky, and more interesting. That's the best way I think that I can put it for this movie.
In the end, I think that this movie is a great addition to the franchise. I might buy this movie when it comes out on DVD. If you are a fan of the insidious movies, you probably will like this film, and if you have never seen any of them before, I think you could probably follow along pretty easily. I would recommend that if you like horror films in general though, that you will probably like this one as well.


final score: 3.5/5

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was  phenomenal, the  cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No performance fell flat. I perhaps would

The Batman Movie Review

The Batman Movie Review A Solid Noir Film I went and saw The Batman the other day with one of my buddies and I must say, we really enjoyed it. Granted I don't think this movie is for everyone. The Batman follows Batman (Robert Pattinson) during his second year of crime fighting. When the mayor of Gotham is killed by The Riddler (Paul Dano), it is up to Batman with the help of James Gordon (Jeffery Wright), and Selina Kyle (Zoƫ Kravitz) to stop him. From a visual point of view, The Batman is gorgeous. Every frame is a painting. The acting is solid, the plot is solid. The musical score is outstanding. I personally loved the film, but there are some things in it that could off-set some Batman fans. I typically get into the acting first, but like you've probably already heard many reviewers say before, the city is a character in this film. Gotham feels real, grounded, and certainly not a place you'd want to visit. Corruption and crime run rampant at every level of society. The
