Freezer

Robert is an ordinary man who is faced with extraordinary circumstances. He is locked in a meat freezer by Russian thugs who believe that he owes them 8 million dollars. Robert, who is in every frame of the film soon discovers that he is not alone in the freezer. Sam, a stranger, is also locked in with him, and it becomes a struggle to survive the cold and the forces that are against them.
Happy fuckin' birthday" "Freezer" is like a refrigerator at someones home who suffers from bulimia. Empty and cold. Don't expect panoramic images, because the whole film is set in an enclosed area of a few square meters. You only get a few glimpses of other locations in the beginning of the film and in the end. For the rest it's a desolate view of the inside of a cooling room with some hunks of meat hanging from the ceiling and also a whole range of iron shelves with boxes.

The Sacred (2012)

A young woman bravely travels up to her dead Aunts cabin for creative inspiration. Marie gets more than she bargained for, when she soon realizes she is not alone. Confronted by evil spirits, she is forced to fight for her life.
Are you someone who has never seen a horror in his life and who just has decided to make the big step and it should remain fairly soft, then you should definitely watch "The Sacred". But if you want to start up already with something more heavy in this genre, then you better forget about this movie. I don't want to feel guilty about the fact that a new horror fan would drop out because they came to the conclusion that the horror genre isn't that special anyway after watching this film.

The Railway Man

Eric Lomax was one of thousands of Allied prisoners of war forced to work on the construction of the Thai/Burma railway during WW2. His experiences, after the secret radio he built to bring news and hope to his colleagues was discovered, left him traumatised and shut off from the world. Years later, he met Patti, a beautiful woman, on a train and fell in love. Patti was determined to rid Eric of his demons. Discovering that the young Japanese officer who haunted her husband was still alive, she faced a terrible decision. Should Eric be given a chance to confront his tormentor ?
"You are a soldier, Lomax. You never surrendered." There have been innumerable movies about the 2nd World War, in which the atrocities of the Nazi regime and the Holocaust were highlighted. Almost all major battles and facts from this dark period have been used. Films about the living conditions of prisoners of war (POW's) in Japan and the daily torture and inhumane treatment they underwent in the Japanese-occupied territories, are rare. There were more than 140.000 inmates in this period in Japan. One out of three died from hunger, the hard labour, floggings and diseases.

The Citizen

Yearning to leave behind his life of misfortune in the Middle East, Ibrahim Jarrah wins the U.S Green Card Lottery for a chance to become an American citizen. Ibrahim lands in New York City the day before 9/11... and the events of the September terrorist attacks forever shape the struggles he faces on his journey to capture the American dream.

“Terrorists don’t get lawyers.” "The Citizen" is the story of a Syrian immigrant Ibrahim Jarrah, born in Lebanon, who had to move in the Middle East a few times due to the Lebanese civil war and the invasion of Saddam Hussein in Kuwait. He was fortunate to win a "Green Card" in the U.S. Greencard lottery and thus find happiness in the U.S. and pursue the American dream. He arrives on 10 September 2010, one day before disaster strikes. Ibrahim claims he's not born for happiness. He's amazed about the fact that he has won a "Green Card".

That Awkward Moment

Jason has just been dumped, but he didn't even realize they were going out. Meanwhile, Mikey's wife has just asked him for a divorce, and perpetually single Daniel is still single. The three best friends are determined to stay single together and just have fun. But then Jason meets Ellie who just might be perfect for him, Daniel starts to realize that his gal pal Chelsea might be perfect for him, and Mikey has always thought that his wife was perfect for him. The boys are going to have to juggle their single life with their romantic entanglements and it's going to get awkward.
“We'll use a coupon and get him a cheap hooker.” Occasionally I feel like watching a comedy. I don't even mind if there's some romance in it. A movie to watch while lying down on a cozy seat in a lazy relaxing way, with a ridiculous big bowl of popcorn on your bulging belly, hoping that it'll be flung off while viewing the selected comedy. The more the bowl rolls of your belly, the better the movie. That's a sign that there's quite a lot to laugh about.

John Doe : Vigilante (2014)

Some call him a hero. Some call him a villain. He's "John Doe: Vigilante" - an ordinary man who decides to take the law into his own hands. Frustrated with a failing legal system that continues to allow violent criminals to go free, John Doe begins exacting justice the only way he knows how - by killing one criminal at a time. Soon he becomes a media sensation and inspires a group of copycat vigilantes, but who is the real John Doe - a pillar of justice or a cold-blooded murderer? You decide.
"Killing is easy. It’s living with it that’s the hard part.” John Doe is a modern Robin Hood. But instead of returning stolen money to the poor, he brings criminals to justice. And this for the relatives of someone who was a victim of a crime. "John Doe: Vigilante" is an indictment of the failing justice system and the apparent impunity of criminals who slip through the cracks of the judicial system.

Animal

When plans for a weekend vacation hit a dead end, a group of close-knit friends find themselves stranded in unfamiliar territory, pursued by a menacing, blood thirsty predator. Holed up in an isolated cabin, tensions mount as long-buried secrets are revealed. As the body count rises, the group must put their differences aside and fight for survival.
Chiller Films delivers another horror/slasher from a decent level. Don't expect something extraordinary and original. The ultimate story, the setting and the end of "Animal" is already used infinite times and won't ensure that the seasoned horror buff will raise his eyebrows. The title alone indicates a total lack of inspiration and sounds pretty dull. Although it covers the complete movie and from the outset you already know what you can expect. A bloodthirsty beast that moves amazingly quickly through the forest, making multiple victims.

Dragon Day

When out-of-work engineer Duke Evans and his family try to rebuild their lives in a remote mountain town, their own version of the American Dream is cut short on the day a devastating cyber-attack destroys the U.S. as we know it. Every microchip 'Made in China' has been infected with a virus that rapidly shuts down all modern technology. The aftermath happens fast, and as the rule of law, water, and food run out, Duke and his family must use all their wits and the unlikely help of Alonso, an illegal immigrant, to survive this frighteningly realistic scenario.
All of our electronics... all these devices... can be accessed over a secret wireless network. Secretly I'm actually a fan of low-budget movies. Firstly, because sometimes there are surprising things to see in this niche market. Occasionally you'll encounter a rough diamond that would be a real gem if it was better cut. Secondly, the authors usually aren't really concerned about the public opinion and there is no fear to step on someones toes and go against the grain.

Transformers 4: Age Of Extinction

Not the best of prequels, But not the worst!
Transformers 4: Age of Extinction Not the best one, But all in all, It was not a bad movie. I liked how Optimus prime actually grew a pair in this one and did what it took to win. I wish it would have told more of why and how the robots went into hiding. I mean it starts out with Mark Wahlberg finding Optimus prime in a old theater all shot up. No reasoning behind why or anything. At the end of Dark Side Of The Moon it shows him beating Megatron and everything was all good.

Ghosts of Mars

After ancient alien ghosts emerge and possess the community members, it is up to a handful of cops and crooks to stop the madness from spreading to other communities and ultimately, Earth.
This is one I can remember going to the theater as a freshmen in high school. As a long-time fan of John Carpenter and oddly Ice Cube, the combination was enough for teenage-Denham to count down the days until it released at one of the two theaters in Baton Rouge (now, there are six theaters thanks to the rapid growth in our population after Katrina). Synopsis: With its 28 million dollar budget, Carpenter and co-screen writer Larry Lulkis bring us a depressed Mars that is cut off from planet Earth.
