May - Movie Review

-

    So for those unaware, I've decided to indulge my cravings for horror films that are have been building up for a while by dedicating the next 15 reviews or so to that genre. I have plenty of movie lineup, the first of which is director Lucky McKee's mixup of oddball comedy and psychological horror May .     Released back in 2002 to a rather decent critical reception, May has attained more of a cult status over the years. I was introduced to this film by a good friend of mine, and we watched it together with other people, and that was a pretty good time. But having to watch the film again myself has actually help me really appreciate what McKee wanted to tell with this story.     Even though the film contains some rather violent imagery, a lot of the horror in this story is rooted in the concept of loneliness. Our central character May is very much disconnected from everyone else around her. Throughout the film, she desperately tries to make attachments t...

Monster Hunter (2020) Movie Review

        It's never fun to discuss something so lackluster about a franchise you hold in your heart.       Monster Hunter is one of my all-time favorite video game series.

I'm not the biggest fan of Paul W. S. Anderson. His early stuff shown some potential, at least, but ever since the Resident Evil film franchise got going, it's a dud for me one after the other. And when you take a fantasy series such as Monster Hunter only to militarize it, a bizarre ...

Artemis Fowl (2020) Movie Review

Throughout my time trying to understand how to critique and understand pieces of media such as movies, television shows, video games, and the like, I've always tried to approach everything with a reasonable amount of optimism. Usually speaking, nobody actually tries to make something that intentionally fails to appeal to the general audience, even when the product serves nothing more than to be a quick cash grab. After all of the time, money, and effort, surely making a little profit back is something to make that work worth it.  But there does come a time and place when there comes something that many people say is bad, and just accept the possibility that I may dislike it before even clicking the play button. I don't (And likely never will), but maybe there are times when my optimism could be dial back a few notches to help me accept the inevitable.    This is my experience with Artemis Fowl. Now I don't think I'm too unintelligent when it comes to an understanding ba...
