One definition of the word 'Horror' is "Intense Repugnance" this film is a perfect example.

The Witch follows a family that's being torn apart by the acts of a witch. This film doesn't have jump scares, nor lame cgi driven action. It instead focuses on its story.

The performances are brilliant. Everyone was FANTASTIC! This movie just looks brilliant. So many shots look like they could be genuine works of art.

I'm not going to go on about being a cinephile though. Because this movie can really appeal to all. The great dialogue and chilling audio leave you feeling perpetually chilled. You can't sit comfortably watching this.

There are several shots that are quite disturbing but they aren't overly gory or torturous. We don't get to see the Witch in the film very much but when we do its awesome and unforgettable.

I just can't recommend this movie enough!

Wade AKA Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) tells the story of how he was subjected to painful experiments, now with mutant abilities he seeks revenge.

Deadpool is a superhero movie unlike anything before it. First off it's extremely R-rated. Second throughout the film the main is constantly braking the fourth wall, not mention there are some great jokes about the studio.

Deadpool has LOTS of comedy, but with comedy being very subjective I personally felt this movie was very hit-and-miss, though when it hit it was hysterical.

Next the story, its nothing outstanding, a simple predictable revenge story, the villain is really nothing special.

Last the action, it wasn't as awesome and exciting as I was hoping, there was an overuse of CGI, given some scenes required it, but still, it feels faker looking then other CGI heavy films I've seen. Early on there are some pretty crazy action scenes, but the further the film goes the duller the action got.

I personally feel this film was perhaps rushed? More time could've given them the chance to focus on crazier stunts and in the least a more balanced sense of humor.

One last note, the one reason Deadpool actually didn't meet my expectations was that I kept hearing how this film was setting the new standard for R-rated films. I don't know what those people mean, I've seen movies push the envelope way more.

In conclusion its worth a laugh, but don't expect anything Oscar-worthy.

A dysfunctional family gathers for Christmas, when the Christmas spirit is dead, Krampus comes to punish the naughty.

Writer/Director Michael Dougherty (Trick R Treat) brings us this fun flick. Similar to Trick R Treat Krampus is more fun then scary. But that only works in its favor. Its not filled with comedic lines or anything like that. Its the mix of crude characters with awesome creatures.

Notice horror is the last genre listed. That's because it doesn't really treat itself like horror. It doesn't have a bunch of cheap jump scares, its not gonna gross people out. It just has a lot of fun creature action.

All of the creatures look great, but none more so then Krampus himself. Every scene he's in is generally exciting.

The only downfall I can think of is that there are some dumb character decisions. Given with horror films you generally have to have some dumb characters to carry the plot. I also felt the end was a tad rushed. Though it still had awesome visuals.

This film isn't for everyone, some may not find this to be fun. But you couldn't have wiped the smile off my face :)
