I went to see Insidious: Chapter 2 a couple weeks ago at the AMC Theater in Castle Rock, CO with Conroy and Corban.  The Fandango website at Insidious: Chapter 2 describes the movie as follows…

”The famed horror team of director James Wan and writer Leigh Whannell reunite with the original cast of Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye, Barbara Hershey and Ty Simpkins in INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 2, a terrifying sequel to the acclaimed horror film, which follows the haunted Lambert family as they seek to uncover the mysterious childhood secret that has left them dangerously connected to the spirit world…”

The Review:  Insidious: Chapter 2 is the second chapter of the movie Insidious, which wasn’t a great movie to begin with and Chapter 2 is not any better.  It’s a supposed to be a scary movie, but it’s not very scary.  There are a few scary parts in the film, but for the most part the story is pretty lame.  It can’t decide if it’s a thriller or a horror film.  It’s pretty much the same as the first film, so there really isn’t anything very new with this movie, but it’s not done nearly as well.

The characters are not terrible, but there are a couple of them that should have been left out of the film, like the old lady helping to figure out why the spirits are haunting the family.  Her character was lame and her acting was really bad.  Rose Byrne was good in the film and so was Patrick Wilson, but they couldn’t hope to save this movie.  The story overall is pretty lame as you follow this family being haunted by the ghost of a woman and her son who are angry in death as they were in life.  It really doesn’t make any sense at all.

All three of us were extremely bored.  I think I jumped one time in the entire film and it was more of a startle than anything.  Your best bet is to wait for the rental on this one or skip it all together.

I went to see Riddick last week at the Regal Cinemas in Lone Tree, CO with Conroy.  The Fandango website at Riddick describes the movie as follows…

”Left for dead on a sun-scorched planet, fugitive Riddick (Vin Diesel) fights for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he has yet encountered. His only hope for escape is to activate an emergency beacon, but that brings with it a different problem: mercenaries. The first ship carries an especially violent and lethal group; the second is led by a man from Riddick’s past. With time running out, Riddick realizes that neither group will leave without his head as trophy…”

The Review:  Riddick is continuation of a Vin Diesel character that started out with the film Pitch Black, which I thought was a pretty cool science fiction action film that came out back in the year 2000.  Now 13 years later, Vin Diesel is still making movies with this crazy futuristic character.

This movie is a continuation to the last film, The Chronicles of Riddick that has him being the leader of a violent group of aliens that are going around destroying planets and now they have double crossed him and left him on a very hostile alien planet.  Once there he discovers that he’s wanted for his crimes and has to set off a rescue beacon that brings a group of mercenaries to kill him before he can get off the planet.  The problem is that the monsters are coming to get all of them before they can leave, which makes for a pretty wild movie.

Conroy and I both liked it and thought it was Worth The Trip, but it’s really a Rental for most people at best.  The character is pretty cool, in the same way that Conan the Barbarian is entertaining, but it’s very violent and not very realistic.  The acting isn’t great, but it’s just an entertaining and fun action film, if you like the science fiction and action genre.
