Five Nights at Freddy's

Five Nights at Freddy’s; Equally creepy/comedic animatronic puppets from Henson Co. add right element of sinister/silly to this film based on PC & YouTube jump scares. Attempt to build lore/story around it all falls apart but still delivers joyful thrills for teens of the era; B-

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2

Hunger Games:Mockingjay Pt. 2; Needlessly split second instalment misses emotional beats for action sequences. Too big for novel details; B-

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1

The Hunger Games:Mockingjay Part 1; Slow moving cash grab prologue tries valiantly to film unfilmable mental horror & anguish of Katniss; B-

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire; Hits all the right emotional notes while amping up the action from the first one. Cast delivers spot on; A

Epic

Epic; No surprises story wise, but the spectacular artwork looks like a U.S. Studio Ghibli. You will be transfixed by the bug's eye view; A-

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island; Surprisingly green lit what w/ the flat dialogue & actors trying to overcome ridiculous story lines; D+

The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games; Like Potter, if you are only experiencing this through the movies, you are only getting a fraction of the enjoyment; B+
