Somehow I think Reign will place a higher value on your opinion.

none, unless you were a cop in the late 80's - early 90's. I wouldn't be singing its praises if it was a bunch of racist bullshit. Easy Oprah-Whoopi. Easy, I was just asking.

Didn't expect Paul Giamatti (sp?) in the flick, he provides good balance of a white person who sticks up for them vs. racist cops (even black cops). Still watching, had to comment on that

Hovering around an A or an A-, haven't decided quite yet. It was very good. The racists in the movie were pretty much the cops, but we all know how the cops were in the 80's, so I didn't feel any white-guilt put on me while watching it. Oshea Jackson Jr was pretty damn good, especially for a first-time actor, but I think the real Oscar snub for this may be F Gary Gray for Best Director. I would bump Ryan Coogler off my top 5 list of Directors for Gray.

The Drop
Slow but worth the wait. The lesson I took away from this and John Wick is never fuck with anyone's dog.

Paranormal Activity:The Ghost Dimension
Are you freaking kidding me? Sick to death of the little kid with the invisible friend scenario. What kid would do anything other than freak the fuck out?
The Visit
I didn't hate it, which is more than I can say for most M. Night movies, but it wasn't hard to figure out what the deal was. No real desire to rewatch.

The Voices (2014) Found this on Hulu in the new section. Don't remember hearing much about it. Turned out to be really fun! Ryan Reynolds is a serial killer who hears his pets and victims talk to him. It's a dark comedy but I can see the horror elements since he is always cutting people up. Only thing I didn't like was the ending when the credits roll. Huge WTF!

Paranormal Activity:The Ghost Dimension Are you freaking kidding me? Sick to death of the little kid with the invisible friend scenario. What kid would do anything other than freak the firetruck out? The Visit I didn't hate it, which is more than I can say for most M. Night movies, but it wasn't hard to figure out what the deal was. No real desire to rewatch. I can verify that I did not freak the fuck out when I had an "imaginary" friend. I also didn't understand that she wasn't a real person until much later, and then I freaked the fuck out I also haven't seen that movie so I don't know how it was portrayed...Although of the PA's I've seen, I have yet to like one even the slightest. I do know that in my own experience, there was a little girl who lived in my closet. I found out within the last 5 years or so that my sister had the same friend when she was a little girl. So yeah. *gives everyone a grain of salt cause I know it sounds insane*

I'm pretty sure I'd have gone completely insane if confronted with something I knew wasn't just my imagination.

I'm pretty sure I'd have gone completely insane if confronted with something I knew wasn't just my imagination. I'm like 90% certain the house I grew up in in Cleveland was haunted as can be. It got to the point where I would push my mattress out from the wall a little bit, put a blanket into the crevice on top of the box springs so nothing could reach up from under my bed and spread a blanket over top of me and fill in crevices with pillows/sheets whatever so my bed looked like it was made so the stuff in the house would leave me alone cause it looked like no one was in bed. For about three years I slept on top of a box spring mushed between the mattress and the wall cause I was afraid of things I would see and hear at night. I went through a period after we moved to Alabama where I questioned my own sanity for a very long time. The bumps in the night didn't stop after we moved out of that house, but they definitely weren't as bad as they were in that house. I'm pretty sure I could come face to face with the devil and not be phased until after I left

Contracted:Phase 2 Definitely can't say the story is better in this one (it really does suck) but it makes up for it with some glorious gore. Worth the watch for that alone! They also did a great set up for the next with the ending. Can't wait.

Terminator:Genisys
It pretty much erases the first two (nobody cares about 3 and 4) and that sucks. But in and of itself it wasn't the train wreck I was expecting. I can see myself watching it again somewhere down the road. 2.5 stars

I said The Revenant wasn't something I would watch on a regular basis. Of course it was a better movie. No comparison. But the depressing tone isn't something I want to subject myself to very often.

Robert Was trying to think of the worst killer doll movie I've ever seen. Couldn't think of one so I'm sliding this sorry ass piece of steaming cow dung into that spot. The fucking end.
