Life After Beth - review (2014)


My sister has been waiting for this movie for like forever. she loves romance and zombie. She is addicted to Warm Bodies, so yeah I was curious about this movie, especially Dane Dehaan is here

The trailer for Life After Beth had me so excited. The cast alone was a treat. Dane DeHaan, John C. Reilly, Molly Shannon, Paul Reiser, Matthew Grey Gubler and Aubry Plaza. For any offbeat comedy, that's a can't miss. Even better for me was the film they were all in was a horror comedy. The trailer came off like a rom-zom-com in the vein of Shaun of the Dead. I was all on board. It took me forever to come across the film but it didn't play out like I thought it would be.

Zombies are definitely at the point of super saturation in the horror market with The Walking Dead and numerous movies. Life After Beth is yet another entry into the zombie comedy subgenre and also into the rom com zombie subgenre similar to Warm Bodies that came out last year. However, this movie has a great cast of comedic actors so I had some solid expectations for it. Surprisingly, this movie ended up being a very mediocre zombie rom com which is very disappointing.

Wish I Was Here- Review (2014)



I seriously liked this movie. Reviews were really good, but it really was much better than I anticipated. It is filled with love, and conflict, and loss which is all portrait in a perfect combination of comedy and drama. This movie will have you laughing out loud one minute and crying the next. I think it is a beautiful film that was beautifully written and filmed.

At first it's the casual laughs and uh-huh moments that have you laughing, only then to curve ball and hit you with raw emotion. As the emotion builds, one finds themselves helplessly drawn toward the characters and the deeper the film gets the more magnetized everything becomes. from the jokes to emotions to jokes to emotions works extremely well throughout the duration of the film.
