"World War Z" ~ 2013

"World War Z"  ~  2013

Netflix description  =  UN employee Gerry Lane races against time and fate as he travels the world trying to stop the spread of a deadly zombie pandemic.

While I did enjoy this movie, it is quite a stretch putting it in the horror movie genre.  Yes, there are zombies, however the movie focuses on the "shoot em up" and grenade action making it more of and action-adventure genre than horror.  That said, it was a good action story.  No gore but lots of explosions and fun energy to hold interest to the end.  Worth the watch, not worth the hype...


My Score   3/5

"Axed" ~ 2012

"Axed"  ~  2012

Netflix description  =  A strict dad loosens up and lets his kids take a day off from school for a trip to the countryside.  But he intends to make it their last outing ever.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The above description from Netflix really sugar coats the reality of the movie itself.  I found that this movie had it all, a strong, yet twisted storyline, plus the character development to get viewer (me) involved.  Also some good dark humor moments perfectly placed.  Overall I really really liked this movie and certainly worth the watch!!

My score   4/5

"Ripper: Letter from Hell (Ripper)" ~ 2001

"Ripper: Letter from Hell (Ripper)"  ~  2001

Netflix description  =  A college study group fixated on solving a local campus murder, realizes that the killer mirrors London's legendary Jack the Ripper.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I enjoyed this movie.  It had quite a few twists and turns and played the "who dunnit" mystery card in there as well.  The storyline is strong, not a lot of gore but a couple of good kill scenes.  Over all a good slasher flick.  Worth the watch!


My score    3/5
