The Girl with All the Gifts (2016)

A British horror directed by Colm McCarthy, starring Glenn Close.
A girl goes to class in a restraint wheelchair on a military base. It turns out that she has a lesser degree of a zombie virus and the scientist wants to make a cure from her brain and spine. The base is invaded by zombies and the girl escapes with a jerk soldier, the teacher and the scientist.
I actually liked this. The plot held my attention and differentiated itself from other zombie apocalypse films. The characters were a little deeper than standard survival horror folks. I liked the main character because she was very different from everyone else. The video was done very well. I really liked their use of selective focus. The audio was pretty good, but there was one really annoying song in the soundtrack. Overall, an entertaining and moderately unique zombie apocalypse survival horror with a good main character. I rate this adequate. You might as well watch it.

The Chumscrubber (2005)

A black comedy directed by Arie Posin, starring Glenn Close.
A boy's friend and drug dealer kills himself and some other kids at school want him to go and get his friend's remaining drugs for them. They try to kidnap his brother to hold hostage until he gives them the drugs.
Another black comedy with a twisted and complex plot. I see the joke about modern society, parent-child relationships and not seeing the forest because there are so many trees. There were some parts that were funny, but most things were not concluded properly. A prime example of this is the drugs in the casserole at the wedding. This just didn't do it for me. I'm rating it o.k.

The Stepford Wives (1975 & 2004)

A science fiction directed by Bryan Forbes and Frank Oz, starring (2004) Nicole Kidman, Matthew Broderick, Christopher Walken, Faith Hill and Glenn Close.
A city couple and their children move to a suburban town where all of the women are too perfect to be real and all of the men meet at a secret club.
The first film was dark and tense, almost a horror flick. The new one was bright and jovial, almost a comedy. The newer one also added a new beginning and a new ending, making the plot of the first film into a shortened and dumbed down middle. I hate to see a decent film defiled like this and Hollywood always does it with these stupid remakes. This makes me rate the original better than planned and the remake worse than I would have otherwise. SO, the old one is good and the new one is bad. Simple, direct and to the point!

Dangerous Liaisons (1988)

A drama directed by Stephen Frears, starring Glenn Close, John Malkovich, Michelle Pfeiffer, Keanu Reeves and Uma Thurman.
Rich nobles have affairs with eachother.
I found this whole thing to be entirely too boring. I don't really care who's sleeping with who and who is angry about it. The whole nobility etiquette thing takes the emotion out of any film. There was some nudity and implied sex, but not enough to redeem this boring flick. I'm rating it bad.
