‪GotG2 was tremendously entertaining. It does suffer from pacing and tripling down on what people liked in the original at times though. The humour is so prevalent at times that it completely undermines some poignant and emotional scenes. 7/10‬

Twins Of Evil (1971) 8/10 - Finally, a Hammer Vampire film I'd never seen before. Twins is the 3rd in Hammer's Karnstein Trilogy, a loose interpretation of the Vampire novella Carmilla written before Stoker created his Dracula, mainly dealing with a lesbian Vampiress who uses the sympathies & caring tendencies of Aristocratic, isolated, Northern European families (& women's boarding schools)as prey for young girls to empty of blood & life-force. Twins of Evil is should actually be viewed 1st in the trilogy on account in it, there's a resurrection scene dealing w/ a female vampire who's the thread between the 3 films, even though she's played by 3 different actresses. The "twins" in this film are competently & sexily played by, as others have mentioned in this thread recently, by 1970's Playboy models, Mary & Madeleine Collinson. They're quite attractive in this movie & in addition, as usual w/ late period Hammer, there are a ton of Hammer-Girls in supporting roles, all great to behold. The movie is a cross between a Witch Hunting movie & Vampire & devil worship films; quite a modge-podge that really works. Peter Cushig plays witch-hunter, Gustav Weil, in just an outstanding performance. Killer Hammer non-Dracula Vampire flick. I'm now on to their Frankenstein stuff.


*Besides the twin, the movie has a great "main" vampire/count too. * No, he's not gazing upon the "twins of evil".

The Neon Demon - 4/10

I'm a HUGE fan of Director Nicolas Winding Refn's ability to create an immersive atmosphere with his visual style and choice of music. That said, more times than not, he falls short in marrying his style with a compelling story, and unfortunately The Neon Demon is the perfect embodiment of this. It's hard to even classify it as it's part character drama part horror film surrounding the ugly underbelly of high fashion modeling. I give the film some solid points for it's amazing visual style and atmosphere but thats it. Hoping to see this Director return to form as Drive is one of my all time favorite films and his talent is undeniable.

Assassin's Creed - 5/10

I've never played the Assassin's Creed video games so I have no idea if this follows the characters and storylines laid out in those closely or not. This is a strange film that struggles to find it's footing. Mostly due to it's dual timelines/narratives that keep you from fully connecting to either setting. There are some well choreographed fight scenes and some decent cinematography on display here but it's disjointed story kept me from caring much about the characters and their struggle. It's entertaining but I couldn't help but feeling it would've been more compelling had the entire film taken place in and around Spain circa 1492 with a greater focus on character development.
