Review: "Final Destination 5" (2011)- written August 16, 2011

Well, it definitely is a good movie. The gore is as disturbing as ever if not more disturbing. The 3D is quite good in my opinion and it is recommended over 2D. It is hard for me to pick favourites with the Final Destination movies but I would have to put this one up there. The story is very good and fresh, adding something new to the franchise. The fact that the ones destined to die can kill another person to gain the years of life they have left. This works well into the story. From the trailers, it appears that our friend the coroner has a bigger role than in previous movies. He is in more scenes but his role hasn't really changed. Also, the opening titles were probably the best in the franchises history. It was also nice to see Emma Bell from "Frozen" in this movie. So see it if you like the Final Destination series, have fun, and do not bring your girlfriend. She will hate you.

Review: "Insidious" (2011)- written August 9, 2011

"Insidious" overall, is a good horror movie. What makes it special and different from other movies from the genre is that it is an Actual Horror movie, a True horror movie. It is based on fear and scaring you. Another thing that makes this movie quite unique for a horror film is the lack of swearing and gore. There are only, to my recolection, less than four or five swear words used. As for gore, you don't technically see anything that could qualify as gore. Violence however, is used in some of the major scenes. Also, there are some frightening images. I Highly recommend this movie to horror fans.
