A Christmas Horror Story (2015)
Slowest movie seen in a while.
This would have been a better movie if it had been directed as an episodes movie, but the three directors just chosen the wrong way and made each stories boring and incredibily slow. The real horror in this movie is in fact trying to resist until the end of the movie without a pause, which is very difficult, believe me!
The effect aren't that bad and good guest could give a smile to those nerds from the fandom of Supernatural or Numb3rs for the appearance of Julian Richings and Michelle Nolden, by the way the last one doesn't play a very good act.
My christmas present to you is this: AVOID THIS MOVIE or if you're curious try watchin' it with some friends making some good laugh at it with some beer and a pizza in front of you; maybe you'll enjoy it anyway.
The Satanist (1968)
A goat with a lot of boobs
I will talk about this film with a more personal than professional character.
When I found myself in front of this film I was hoping for something much more horror and from the poster I would have expected a kind of The Rosemary's baby in an underground version but it was not, however, since the film is a narration of an experience (not I will make more spoilers for those who want to see the film) lived by the main protagonist who is eventually taken for crazy, as all the result of his imagination.
On balance I must say that I was disappointed that my expectations were almost all missed, but The Satanist proves to be dark enough, between a nice pair of tits and the other, and psychedelic rock definitely helps to get to the end of this long, and otherwise pallid, monologue. Another flaw far from indifferent is probably due to the budget, some scenes have been made in economics and do not make the idea decisive, or at least try, but become ridiculous (like a bacchanal orgy with four cats).
Well then, but not very well.
Idea: 7.5/10
Acting: 4/10
Soundtrack: 8/10
Special effects: 5/10
Costumes: 3/10
Photograph: 7/10
Direction: 6.5/10
TOTAL: 4.7/10
Tarzan (1999)
Could be worse
Certainly one of the best Disney movies of the last twenty years. The character design is quite good, animation are kinda perfect or - better - futuristic for the year, the dubbing works well and the "pop-ing" soundtrack is not that bad as well, this added to the funny moments makes of this movie freely inspired to Burroughs' Tarzan of the Apes a nice media for kids and easy romance lovers.
Now you're going to say wow this movie is perfect, right? And I'll reply you ABSOLUTELY NOT. This movie is far from perfection for quotes to movies that '99 kids wouldn't be able to understand like the baboons scene that mention Birds from Hitchcocks; on another side the easy happy ending, which is a great difference from the book, brutally cut the pathos on the last scene. OK it's Disney and it's a family movie but a little bitter never killed anyone. Speaking of the difference from Edgar Rice Burroughs' novel, Jane and prof. Porter teach Tarzan about civil life out of the jungle using a series of slides when in the book, Tarzan learn himself due to his intelligence. Don't know you but to me this scene looks like Clockwork Orange's brainwash scene where scientists works on Alex's mind to rebuilt it, or if you prefer like "your own study with books is less meaningless let us tell you what about the world" which is such a bad lessons for kids that personally I kinda hate that.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a classic kid movie with nice drawing and animation you're quite welcome but if you're looking for a good book transposition or a quality and wise movie keep seeking.
