13 Days of Halloween: Day 6 – Chris Ranson on Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort (2014)

Title: Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort (2014) Director: Valeri Malev Runtime: 91 minutes — The original Wrong Turn was a mediocre film, made solely to capitalize on Eliza Dushku, who wasn’t anything special in it or any other failed project she was placed into (excluding Buffy, of course). Somehow, though, we have received five sequels…


Movie Review – Chris Ranson on Annabelle (2014)

Title: Annabelle (2014) Director: John R. Leonetti Runtime: 98 minutes — I went into 2013’s The Conjuring with very low expectations. The director, James Wan, had previously left a bad taste in my mouth. I was happy to admit, though, that I left that film impressed. It was obvious that we were going to get…


Movie Review – Chris Ranson on Gone Girl (2014)

Title: Gone Girl (2014) Director: David Fincher Runtime: 149 minutes — When I think David Fincher I instantly think of Fight Club. It’s easily one of his best works. His most recent work was the so-so Girl With The Dragon Tattoo remake, which obviously could never be as good as its Swedish counterpart. As an…


Movie Review – Chris Ranson on Leprechaun: Origins (2014)

Title: Leprechaun: Origins (2014) Director: Zach Lipovsky Runtime: 90 minutes — For some reason, on St. Patrick’s Day this year, I thought it would be a great idea to watch the entire Leprechaun series, back-to-back, while getting trashed. Ah, the things I do for Cinefessions. Now, we get a prequel to the series, Leprechaun: Origins,…


Movie Review – Chris Ranson on Boyhood (2014)

Title: Boyhood (2014) Director: Richard Linklater Runtime: 165 minutes — Richard Linklater is a genius. I would have his babies, and I don’t even know what he looks like. He crafted one of the greatest love stories ever in his Before series (Before Sunrise, Sunset, Midnight), and with Boyhood he does something that just blows…


Movie Review – Chris Ranson on The Bunnyman Massacre (2014)

Title: The Bunnyman Massacre (2014) Director: Carl Lindbergh Runtime: 104 minutes — I was stoked when I found out that I was going to review a film about a killer in a bunny costume. This sounded absurd, and I do love the absurd, but I was worried because I never saw the first film. Thankfully,…


Movie Review – Chris Ranson on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)

Title: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) Director: Jonathan Liebesman Runtime: 101 minutes — Some of you may have checked out my series review of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films. If you didn’t, I am a huge fan of the Turtles. Dating back to when I was a kid, the Turtles were always my favorite…
