The Omen (2006)

John Carter of Mars
In my opinion this is underrated.

Overlord.

Allied commandos on the eve of the D Day invasion find how the SS are experimenting on French villagers in order to create super soldiers. Pretty good horror/war movie.

Penguins

This new documentary by Disney Nature was playing at an art-house theater near my school, so I went to go see this film when my class finished for the day.

A great movie with funny narration by Ed Helms not only as himself, but also as lead penguin Steve.

Raw.

A birthday present from my wife. A young woman and life long vegetarian joins her older sister at a veterinary school, when during a hazing ceremony, is forced to eat raw meat. From there, she finds herself developing a ravenous addiction to eating raw, living meat. What secrets is her sister hiding? And what secrets does their mother have?
First rate horror movie. French language, with sub titles.

Missing Link

Another awesome animated film from the Oregon based LAIKA Studios, known primarily for stop-motion animated films. Despite some boring parts, it was a great movie nonetheless in part to great chemistry between Hugh Jackman, Zoe Saldana, and Zach Galifinakis alongside lovely animation.

If you are not familiar with LAIKA Studios, I suggest you watch all of LAIKA's previous works beginning with Kubo and the Two Strings, then watch the others in the filmography.

Coraline

The Boxtrolls

ParaNorman

The Devil's Rejects (2005)

Written and directed by 'Rob Zombie'.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets The Exorcist, meets goodness knows what...

A Satanic cult headed by a Charles Manson type character goes on the rampage somewhere in the USA. I'm wondering about the mental health of the people who produced this film, and my own for watching it. Have so far got through the first 45 minutes.

It does have a few sharp bits of dialogue and wit actually, which may be why it attains an otherwise unbelievable 6.9/10 on IMDB.

Missile X , 1/6....boooooring action about nuclear device getting into a mad barons hands (played by Curt Jurgens)

Skip it , you're not missing anything.

Kung fu on the Bosporous aka Ninja killer , 1/6

Chula (Charlie whats-his-name) from 007 smuggles artifacts from Turkey to HK. Shoddy production (even the average HK movie is much better than this) with very poor fight scenes , only positive thing is seeing Istanbul.

Another skip it imo.

Malice.
I enjoyed it. Alec Baldwin was mean in it.
