RAPTURE PALOOZA (2013)


A comedy that takes out of the seriousness of religion and tries to make fun of the apocalypse while trying to tie in a prophecies from the bible. John Francis Daley goes to battle with the Antichrist to save his girlfriend Anna Kendrick from marrying Craig Robinson who as the Antichrist wants Anna to be with him. Craig presence was the centre comedy attraction in Rapture Palooza and his unique comedy antics made this movie watchable. Craig as the Antichrist is able to let loose with cheeky comments that propel the movies rating to a rated R classification. Only the Antichrist could get away with the low down, below the belt comments which seem to fit Craig Robinson unique humour. This movie could of been better if focused more on the story and less on the comedy, it felt that it took some of the comedy scenes too far and didn't leave any seriousness for the story to take. It almost felt as if the director was making fun out of his own movie rather than letting the jokes be a part of the movie, the jokes felt the were the only part of the movie that stood out. It felt little disappointing considering they had such a great cast.


THE LAST EXORCISM 2 (2013)


The last Exorcism part two continued the story where the previous movie ended. The sequel didn't manage to hold your attention as much as its earlier predecessor and lacked the intrigue that followed Nell Sweetzer demonic possession. In part two most of the horror was induced through scare pop up scenes which got a bit predictable because the camera zooming techniques allowed for the observant viewer to not get distracted by the star and predict that something was about to pop up and try to surprise the unprepared audience. The story ran slow and dragged out without much explanation of why she was taken over again and the significance of her destiny, which would of helped to create a connection between the Nell and the viewer if the story was the focused on and not the random scare pop ups that seemed to go on and on. A disappointing sequel that should of focused on the foundation of its predecessor. Watch part one if you fancy to get a little scared and ignore this addition because it doesn't add depth nor is is scary.
