The new Mission Impossible movie was my theater viewing. It delivered on everything I expected it too, and even managed a few surprises.
I watched Evil Dead Rise which weirdly kinda worked as a proper Evil Dead movie. I tend to put most of my horror film watches in the guilt category as they rarely transcend their genres and are so often just schlock, but I can enjoy a film in almost any genre. If you like horror films, or more specifically the Evil Dead genre style, this one works. It manages to feel close enough to a Sam Raimi made installment.
I saw a low budget thriller called Unseen which was strong for its premise. And had several great moments (although I did feel there was a big gap in how one of the minor characters was handled).
And watched two other terrible Horror films:
There's Something Wrong with the Children -- not good at all, skip
The Deep House -- also terrible, but was interesting to see a horror film shot almost entirely underwater in scuba gear. An interesting experience in that sense.
Yeah I saw some articles about that comparison. Really fun time and a spectacle worth taking in. I find that the older I get, the more tired I get of well worn ground, but it also seems to get easier just to enjoy a well made spectacle.
Saw Sound of Freedom. Pretty impressive for such a small budget. Glad it didn't show anything graphic, we all know what happens. First 2hr+ movie I've seen in a while where I didn't find myself wondering "how much longer?" Awesome watch.
