“Rise of the Legend (2014)” movie review.

"Rise of the Legend" asks the question of 'Can sheer entertainment value overcome any obstacle?'. There are so many problems with this movie and I still had a lot of fun with it, so...yes...it can...and in hindsight, that is a pretty stupid question considering that cinema mostly exists for our entertainment.

"Kung Fu Killer" is simultaneously a bad movie and a good kung fu flick, so enjoying this comes down to what you want out of it.

"The Babadook" is really a terse family drama dressed as a horror flick, although I don't want you to assume that it's not scary. This movie can actually be very terrifying, but it's less about ghosts jumping out at you and more about the psychological deterioration of its protagonist- which is either being caused by the specter or is the cause of the specter.

"Falcon Rising" is...acceptable. It has a strong cast, a beautiful Brazilian location, good fight scenes and even a dash of inspiration within the writing. But it also lacks focus, cramming in too many characters and ideas, while the plot appears to be building up to something amazing- only to never really get there.

“Tekken: Kazuya’s Revenge (2014)” movie review.

Posted by MartialHorror
/ December 23, 2014

"Tekken 2: Kazuya's Revenge" is technically a prequel, but it doesn't even fit within the continuity of the first movie and somehow manages to be an even more unfaithful adaption of the video games. Even worse than that, it's REALLY, REALLY boring.

“The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)” movie review.

Posted by MartialHorror

“The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies” feels less like a movie and more like the third act of a movie, being almost entirely based around a single awesome battle. You might find it to be shallow...because it is...but it's certainly not 'slow'.
