Lightning Film Recollections

STOKER visually gives the illusion that the plotting is more sophisticated than it really is, but I still liked it. PAIN & GAIN and THE COUNSELOR are Hollywood talents just running f***ing unchecked - the former at least tried to be funny whereas the latter just went on & on with speeches that bored the s*** out of me (normal people don't talk like that?). GODZILLA CGI fights looked great but everything people related was wasted. WE ARE WHAT WE ARE portends to do something interesting with vampires but doesn't at all (but OMG I barely recognized Kelly Mcgillis). I struggled to get through INSIDIOUS 2 which didn't surprise me.

Lighting Film Reviews

BOURNE LEGACY: alotta "who gives a s***," lame showdown. YOUNG DET DEE: too much matter-of-fact fantasy for a detective plot. OLD BOY: not horrible but misses the mark of the original by a long shot. OUTRAGE BEYOND: not as good as the 1st but entertaining. GRAVITY: simple story, great tension encapsulated in stunning shots. CAPTAIN PHILLIPS: palpable tension that makes you feel the final outcome was truly tragic. #gnetx #sse
