The wraparound component still isn\u2019t quite there, but all four shorts in the sequel are highly creative, entertaining and memorable. Adam Wingard delivers a typical haunted house scenario but within a new, intriguing framework, Gregg Hale and Eduardo Sanchez put an entirely fresh spin on the zombie genre and Jason Eisener offers up a stunningly stylized alien invasion that rocks some of the feature\u2019s most unforgettable sounds and visuals, but the best of the bunch is definitely Gareth Evans and Timo Tjahjanto\u2019s \u201cSafe Haven.\u201d You think you\u2019ve seen it all? Evans and Tjahjanto put the large majority of third act massacres to shame. \u201cSafe Haven\u201d is the one that will blow your mind, but all four short films are impeccably structured and loaded with remarkably unique plot points, turning the full feature into a beautifully sick and twisted film that\u2019ll give you a good scare and\/or having you shouting something to the effect of, \u201cNo way!,\u201d the entire way through.<br \/>\n<strong>Great Quote:<\/strong> \u201cPapa.\u201d<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/2013\/03\/16\/vhs-2-movie-review\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Full Review<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/9_Gravity.jpg\" alt=\"9.

All the movie needs is a physical component similar to Disney World\u2019s Mission: Space ride and you might actually start to believe you\u2019re out in space alongside Ryan Stone and Matt Kowalski. It\u2019s unfortunate Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n didn\u2019t use that as an excuse to nix Dr. Stone\u2019s unnecessary backstory, but by the point that threatens to slow the film down, you\u2019re already far too engrossed in her fight to survive. \u201cGravity\u201d doesn\u2019t just hold your attention from beginning to end; it doesn\u2019t even permit you to turn your head. This is one instance where 3D can truly enhance the experience. Between the additional dimension, pristine sound work, convincing performances and strong cinematography that produces strikingly multi-layered visuals and ensures you\u2019re always oriented, the film literally sucks you in. Similar to 3D, IMAX and the fleeting high frame rate craze, Cuar\u00f3n\u2019s cinematic language in \u201cGravity\u201d deserves to become the next big thing.<br \/>\n<strong>Great Quote:<\/strong> \u201cDo you copy?

Not only is there an incredible amount of information on Formula One and the driving culture, but then we also get two robust big screen versions of James Hunt and Niki Lauda as well as added context through their dynamic rivalry and friendship. Both men have assets and flaws and they rode two completely different work ethics to the top, but Howard never colors one right and the other wrong, just as he never entices the viewer to root for one driver over the other. \u201cRush\u201d is about getting to know two Formula One icons, understanding and accepting their motivations, and then watching as unforeseen events tip the scale. The characters and their connection are remarkably engaging and so is the action of \u201cRush.\u201d When Daniel Br\u00fchl and Chris Hemsworth get behind the wheel, you\u2019re right in the car with them thanks to the combination of brilliant shot composition and impeccable sound design. \u201cRush\u201d is an all-consuming watch in every respect.<br \/>\n<strong>Great Quote:<\/strong> \u201cWatching you win those races while I was fighting for my life, you were equally responsible for getting me back in the car.\u201d<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/2013\/09\/20\/rush-movie-review\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Full Review<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/7_About_Time.jpg\" alt=\"7.

This isn\u2019t just some cheesy tale about a guy who jumps back in time to win the girl of his dreams. Well, it is, but that basic description only scratches the surface of the narrative because Curtis gets you so invested in Domhnall Gleeson\u2019s character and his quest to find \u201cthe one\u201d that every other element of the film, even something as outrageous as time travel, feels so natural. Perhaps it\u2019s because I\u2019m also at the point in my life where I wouldn\u2019t mind finding my own \u201cone,\u201d but \u201cAbout Time\u201d has a profound ability to stick with you because it\u2019s so poignant. Rather than use the time travel component as a cute shtick, Curtis weaves it into Tim\u2019s arc in a way that encourages you to assess very real situations from new perspectives, and that makes it truly enlightening.<br \/>\n<strong>Great Quote:<\/strong> \u201cI thought this phone was old, but suddenly it\u2019s my most valuable possession.\u201d<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/2013\/09\/30\/about-time-movie-review\/?_r=true\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Full Review<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_Frozen.jpg\" alt=\"6.

Admittedly, I still take issue with Anna\u2019s split-second decision to marry Hans and acknowledge the fact that the film\u2019s antagonists are ineffectual, but neither are a match for a snowman sidekick that professes his love of warm hugs and two enchanting sisters coming into their own. Disney\u2019s adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen\u2019s \u201cThe Snow Queen\u201d was a long time coming, but it\u2019s worth the wait because Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee\u2019s decision to turn the Snow Queen into a conflicted hero is part of the reason \u201cFrozen\u201d is a standout. Anna makes for a strong, cheery lead to take you through the adventure, but then Elsa steps in to give the film an impressive amount of depth through her very real and relatable problem. No, there aren\u2019t many folks out there who can conjure wintry elements with the flick of a wrist, but having to hide who you are in order to fit in is another story and now, thanks to \u201cFrozen,\u201d you can tell yourself to \u201clet it go\u201d and just be who you are. It sounds silly, but it\u2019s messages like that paired with exceedingly charming characters and vivid visuals that rock the power to brighten your day and that\u2019s why \u201cFrozen\u201d makes this list; simply put, it makes me happy.<br \/>\n<strong>Great Quote:<\/strong> \u201cSome people are worth melting for.\u201d<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/2013\/11\/26\/frozen-movie-review\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Full Review<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/5_The_Wolf_of_Wall_Street.jpg\" alt=\"5.

Terence Winter\u2019s adaptation of Belfort\u2019s novel is a warped character piece. Leonardo DiCaprio\u2019s Belfort is despicable through and through, as are his cohorts, but, at the same time, their con game and outrageous behavior is undeniably infectious. You can\u2019t turn your head because you can\u2019t bear to miss what Belfort does next. The possibilities are endless and that makes the 180-minute running time a breeze. Even though you\u2019re downright disgusted with each and every decision Jordan makes along the way, he\u2019s a natural charmer and his showmanship is highly convincing. The incessant speech-giving and Quaalude-popping should grow dull and repetitive, but instead, you\u2019ll find yourself rooting for more and more just to see how big Jordan can go and in that respect, he definitely doesn\u2019t disappoint. The film is bound to leave you wary of your investments and with some serious suspicions regarding the finance industry, but from an entertainment standpoint, Belfort\u2019s antics are big screen gold. You can live it up for three hours and then it all goes away. (Again, this is with no disrespect towards the people the real scandal affected. This assessment is purely from a cinematic standpoint.)<br \/>\n<strong>Great Quote:<\/strong> \u201cWhen you sail on a boat fit for a Bond villain, sometimes, you need to play the part.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/2013\/12\/30\/the-wolf-of-wall-street-movie-review-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">Full Review<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/4_Her.jpg\" alt=\"4.

In an industry oversaturated with robotic and space-themed representations of the future, this unique combination of novel new technology, fresh yet familiar environments and clothing styles with a retro flare is like nothing you\u2019ve ever seen before in this type of narrative and that makes it endlessly fascinating. However, at the same time, the looks are also grounded in the familiar, making the world easy to adapt to and the same goes for OS1. Obviously there\u2019s no such thing as an intuitive operating system available in the consumer marketplace, but we\u2019re close enough that the concept feels tangible and thanks to Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson\u2019s work, it\u2019s highly appealing, too. Johansson really does deserve that Best Supporting Actress nod. Even though she\u2019s never seen on screen in the flesh, Samantha is as close to a living, breathing character as any. And not only does Johansson merit a significant amount of credit for that achievement, but Phoenix does, too. For the large majority of the film he\u2019s performing with nothing more than a digital wallet-like object, but not for a second do you doubt his feelings and motivations. Jonez\u2019s shot selection is also a masterful component of the feature. He doesn\u2019t have the luxury of running with standard wide shots and singles to sell a one-on-one relationship. He\u2019s come up with a language of his own to bring this man and this operating system on the same plane and the results are unprecedented.<br \/>\n<strong>Great Quote:<\/strong> \u201cAnd then I realized that I was simply remembering it as something that was wrong with me.

Four years later, I could not be more proud and honored to have the opportunity to cover the series to such an extent. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire isn\u2019t a desperate blockbuster aiming to sustain a fad; it\u2019s a high quality film that\u2019s earned every drop of hype, attention and cash that\u2019s come its way. The original Hunger Games is still an excellent film, but Francis Lawrence took the additional funds afforded to him by that installment\u2019s success and put them on screen in the best ways possible, turning Catching Fire into a far superior piece in a number of respects, and the same goes for the cast. There\u2019s no coasting here or leaning on pre-established character details. Each and every player from Peeta to Effie to Cinna and beyond shows off a significant amount of growth and that change amplifies some of the most powerful beats of the story. And then of course there\u2019s Jennifer Lawrence\u2019s Katniss. Almost every element of this film is tremendous, but it\u2019s her heartfelt and intimate portrayal of a girl in the middle of such an extreme situation that puts the movie on another level.<br \/>\n<strong>Great Quote:<\/strong> \u201cWant a sugar cube?

It doesn\u2019t just tell the tale of one particular challenge during Grace\u2019s time at the facility; this is a fully realized representation of her life. She\u2019s got loads of responsibilities at Short Term 12, but she\u2019s also got concerns of her own and Destin Cretton\u2019s ability to flesh out every single one of them turns Grace into someone you feel like you know. And of course a good deal of the success of the character comes from Brie Larson herself. She\u2019s far from an industry newcomer, but her work here could and should be a game changer. Her performance feels effortless, but it\u2019s also clear that she\u2019s done the work to completely give herself over to the role, giving Grace an outstanding amount of texture. At Short Term 12, the task at hand may be to take care of Jayden, but Larson never lets you forget the effect her job at the facility has on her relationship with Mason. It\u2019s that constant interconnectivity that turns \u201cShort Term 12\u201d into so much more than a viewing experience.

Whether you\u2019re a diehard genre fan or only dabble in scary fare every once in a while, \u201cThe Conjuring\u201d has something for you because Wan and writers Chad and Carey Hayes took such care with each and every element of this production. The film\u2019s got well-earned jump scares, psychological shocks, a slew of multidimensional characters, stunning cinematography and true roots that make you wonder if Ed and Lorraine Warren\u2019s work actually could be the real deal. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson strike the perfect balance between offering a sense of comfort via the Warrens\u2019 warmth and expertise and then letting that composure crack to highlight serious threats, giving \u201cThe Conjuring\u201d a unique pace loaded with surprises. There\u2019s no night-by-night progression forewarning you of a one-way build. The entire narrative is peppered with fresh feeling scares that are so well woven into the story that there\u2019s no need for blood and gore. A scene during which Joey King just stares into a dark corner of her room, essentially at nothing at all, is incredibly unnerving simply because it\u2019s well-performed and you care about the character. My fingers are crossed that Wan decides to continue on with this franchise because his authorial expressivity would be sorely missed and also because the Warrens\u2019 files offer a wealth of cinematic opportunity.<br \/>\n<strong>Great Quote:<\/strong> \u201cEverything you see in here is either haunted, cursed or is being used in some kind of ritualistic practice.

Even though her features have totally nonsensical plots, her behavior can be mildly amusing and she does have an undeniably warmth to her. Trouble is, the character can\u2019t carry a film on her own and in the case of \u201cA Madea Christmas\u201d more so than most, Tyler Perry seems to have forgotten that. Not a single one of her outbursts are funny because the jokes within them are lazy and her knowing, motherly appeal is squandered by ridiculous, unearned character arcs.

How does Dario Argento not have some sort of right-hand to tell him that putting an enormous CGI praying mantis in your Dracula movie is a terrible idea?

The first film was a solid scare and then the concept of a sheltered Nell being thrown into the mainstream was an opportune way to continue to build the character and broaden the world, but Ed Gass-Donnelly and co. do nothing with it \u2013 literally nothing. Nothing happens in this film and then when Gass-Donnelly realizes he only has a single act left, he figures it\u2019s time to toss in the obligatory third act exorcism, and to no effect. <\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Out of the Furnace<\/strong><br \/>\nEven though there\u2019s a film I dislike more than \u201cOut of the Furnace,\u201d this one is the ultimate snooze of 2013. Not only is it a painful drag, but the content is also depressingly bleak. There\u2019s no reason to like the characters so there\u2019s no reason to care when their lives are threatened. And on top of that, director Scott Cooper offers no access to Russell while he\u2019s on his rescue mission because we never see the guy make a decision. It\u2019s as though he\u2019s following the blueprint laid out in the trailer and nothing more. <\/p>\n<p><strong>1. The Host<\/strong><br \/>\nIf only Stephenie Meyer and Andrew Niccol had just teamed up to make a trailer. Whereas the promo for \u201cThe Host\u201d takes the time to introduce you to the main player and deliver the basics of the situation, the full feature does no such thing, throwing the viewer into a new, complicated and unexplained scenario before you\u2019ve even had the chance get to know and understand the protagonist(s). Wanderer\u2019s connection to Melanie is the driving force of this story. You\u2019d think the filmmakers would have taken the time to pinpoint the optimal way to bring that relationship to screen, but what we get is downright laughable and between that and the fact that this might be the most absurd YA love triangle (square?) in cinematic history, \u201cThe Host\u201d solidifies itself as the poorest attempt at filmmaking of the year. What a waste of Imagine Dragons\u2019 \u201cRadioactive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><FONT COLOR=RED>Happy and healthy New Year, everyone!
