31 Posts Of Halloween: American Psycho

American Psycho is a 2000 horror black comedy film that didn't exactly live up to my expectations.

Alright this is going to be a short review for this movie. American Psycho is about an office guy that is a serial killer by night. It's an interesting premise for a film, but for me it really doesn't live up to the hype.
The actors in this film do a fine enough job. Some are better than others in this movie. I just found some of the characters to be quite dull, and not in the, there supposed to be that way sense, but in the, why did they say yes to the script sense.
Some of the scenes are pretty creative and I cannot deny that, but I frequently found myself losing interest in the film.
I will say that I do enjoy the narration from the main character, as it provides an eerie sense about him, kinda like there is something off but you just can't put your finger on it in the beginning of the film.
You may have seen this movie already and have enjoyed it, and that's fine, but it's just not for me. I think there are better movies out there to see than, American Psycho.

final score: 2.5/5

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 per...
