Review- Insidious: Chapter 2

Insidious: Chapter 2
Directed By: James Wan
Starring: Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne and Barbra Hershey 

Well I’ve been a horror fan since the age of 5 and I stand by the fact that old school horror films are far better then what is being done today. I have not seen a good scary film in a very long while, I can’t even remember when honestly. Insidious Chapter 2 didn’t waver this fact at all, it cemented it even more then the first Insidious.

Insidious starts with a backstory before the annoying “music”, it’s more like a sound, plays while flashing the title. The film was as predictable as the first, if not more so, I called the films ending within 20 minutes. I also found myself finding all sorts of mistakes like, how a ghost is supposed to spell answers without a full alphabet. The film was basically a remake of the first but with the father possed instead of the child. It was very much like the remake of Amityville Horror; husband goes nutty and starts trying to kill his loved one.

The acting, by all parties, was horrible and the directing wasn’t any better. This film didn’t even have cheap thrills with surprising loud music/noises to keep me interested. Sadly this film earns 1 out of 4 stars in my book, not worth anyone’s time.

Review: We're The Millers

We're The Millers
Directed By: Rawson Marshell Thurbur
Starring: Jason Sudeikis, Jennifer Aniston and Emma Roberts

I saw the preview for We’re the Millers and really wasn’t interested in seeing it, honestly Jennifer Aniston hasn’t done anything good since friends and I really don’t like Ed Helms, but after many people said it was funny I gave in. It turned out to not be half bad, it wasn’t what it was hyped up to be but it was decently funny.

Jennifer Aniston steps out of her good girl, America’s sweetheart image and into a more grownup role. Jennifer Aniston as a striper was far fetched, to say the least, and we are constantly reminded that’s her profession though out the whole film. Although Jason Sudeikis was funnier then I remember from SNL. Emma Reoberts' acting, and when I say acting I use that term loosely, was not up to par with the other cast and that's saying something. This movie was just mainly a bunch of raunchy dirty jokes and a cheesy escape from drug supplier. The soundtrack was also nothing special, with the exception of TLC’s “Waterfalls” being sung along to by an awkward white teenage boy.

This movie wasn’t horrible nor was it hilarious; rent it with Redbox or wait for it to come to cable. I give it 2 out of 4 stars.
