Trilogy Week #48 - Best Makeup Effects

It's the last week of October so now I've saved the best for last. To watch three movies with the best makeup effects. What can make or break a good horror movie is the effects, they are the touchstone of the genre. Going back to the birth of cinema. But recently makeup effects have started to take a back seat to CG effects. Which is sad, when you see a CG effects used that could have made a convincing makeup effect instead, it's very disappointing. To me it almost feels like cheating. Don't get me wrong CG effects are cool, and they have their place. But when they are used instead of props or prosthetic, it shows they laziness of the film makers. So let's this week celebrate the fantastic work of Rick Baker, Rob Bottin, and Chris Walas.

Trilogy Week #28 - Women in Sports

I know today is Mother's Day, and these three movies have nothing to do with Mother's Day, but I couldn't find some Mother's Day movies that I wanted to use, so instead I'm featuring women in sports movies. My correlation between the two is strength. If you are a good mother, I believe you are a good mother because you are a strong women. And women in sports are strong women. So let's celebrate strong women in sports, which a lot of them were moms too, so yeah. Another thing is that I didn't notice until I posted this was that all three of these films were directed by actors. Well blah blah blah, Happy Mother's Day.

Trilogy Week #27 - Life After Death

How will you die? Because you will. Everyone will die! So because of that, everyone has thought about the afterlife, if there is one. A question that has been asked since the beginning of our existence. Whether it's a world of nothingness, or a world in the clouds, there are many stories about the world beyond our comprehension. These three film makers have some great original ideas about the next life, if maybe a little ridiculous, they are very entertaining about the life we life, and the way we perceive the environment around us.
