Movie - Texas Chainsaw (2013)

I was in the mood for some Texas Chainsaw Massacre but this is the only one that Netflix had which is weird because it's the newest one and usually they have older movies first. This movie was really great when it comes to re-makes. Now I have seen one or two of these movies, but I really want to jump in and see the old ones which for some reason I can never find anywhere (hopefully soon to come!!) In ths one, the white trash family is slaughtered by the town's rednecks except for a baby which is taken and raised by one of them. When she receives a letter that she has inherited a house from her family, she discovers the truth behind her past and who her "parents" really are. As her friends are slaughtered, she learns of a secret man with a chainsaw living in the basement of the house and fights for her life against not only him but the redneck townspeople who are out to finish what they had started. As far as effects and make up go, this one is spot on. The movie has what you typically see in horror movies which is sex, violence and gore. Great movie, really. I'm giving this one a four.

Movie - Candyman 2: Farewell to the Flesh

In the second installation of Candyman, he is after the last living relative of his lover's family. She carries a child and Candyman wants her to join him. She works with a boy from school to stop him once and for all and end the curse by destroying him. This movie jumped into Candyman's past and how he came to be what he is which I thought was really cool. This movie was pretty good and I enjoyed seeing the ins and outs of his past. I'll throw this one three skulls as it was not as exciting as the first one. I heard there is a third one which I would like to see, but have not yet gotten the chance. Hopefully that one is soon to come!

Movie - Candyman

I have to give a shoutout to whoever made the above image. Great rendition of Candyman! This is one of those classics that you have to see. Legend tells that if you say Candyman's name in the mirror a certain amount of times that he will come and take you. Knowing this legend, a skeptic reporter delves into the myth to try to uncover the truths behind it. Candyman comes and takes hold of her life, ruining her and ultimately causing her death. The movie gets really crazy at parts as you watch the woman's entire life fall apart. The ending is my favorite part though for those of you who have watched it. I gave this one a four out of five.

Movie - Friday the 13th VII: The New Blood

Unfortunately this is the only Friday the 13th that was on Netflix despite my wanting to see them all in order in a row. I only really watched this because it was Friday the 13th and I felt like it needed to happen. This one portrays a girl who has kinetic powers and accidentally causes the dead of her father when she is a child at Camp Crystal Lake. When her psychiatric doctor insists on taking her back to the scene of the murder when she's older, people start being murdered by Jason. Out of the Friday the 13th movies I've seen so far, this is my least faavorite of them. I always think it's weird when they add people with psychic powers to horror movies. It is just kind of weird to me and takes away from the horror of the movie. I am going to go ahead and give this movie a two for being very so-so.

Movie - The Invincible Iron Man

Tony Stark is pitted against ancient Chinese spirits when his company uncovers a forbidden temple in China. He uses his knowledge of technology to defeat the spirits and save a poor girl's soul from being taken over. The movie was pretty decent, but not the best Iron Man film I have seen. I did like the movie however and would probably watch it again. This one gets a three from me.

Movie - Ultimate Avengers 2

The alien invaders are back again only this time they are attacking the Wakanda village, home of the Panther. The villagers must learn to accept the help of outsiders in order to stop the invaders once again. The Avengers jump to the chance to help and defeat them once again. This sequel did not disappoint just like the first one and was full of action and adventure. This one gains a four as well.

Movie - Ultimate Avengers: The Movie

In this movie there is an alien race that is bent on taking over the world and it is up to the Avengers to work together and stop the takeover. This is another classic Avengers movie which I fully intend on buying. I highly enjoyed watching this and the second one (review to come next). The action was great and I loved the story line. I hope that they make more like this one. I give this one a four out of five.
